  1. Tbh, one of the first nice things I noticed playing the game for the first time, was two free combat charaters, that were quite different in terms of role: close quarters machinegunner and long distance fighting rifleman. It is nice to have choice of playstyle. That's why I personally dislike the idea of making rifleman priced. However, if you think this is necessary, let it be.

    I'd like to make some suggestions for another patch:

    Cyborg Reaper:

    • move faster
    • 4 Rockets
    • web

    Forgotten Mammoth MKI tank:

    • GDI should be able to buy them

    Riot trooper:

    • stun gun with short range against Infantry to stun them
    • Baton for close combat
    • 3 EMP GRENADES (mines sucks)
    • riot shield which blocks every damage from front side
    • move faster

    Jumpjet:

    • Should have a more powerful MG like the wolverine, some kind of hitscan AoE splash
    • move faster

    Umagon:

    • Should be squishable

    Ghostalker:

    • Should be squishable

    Mutant Rebel:

    • GDI should be able to buy them
    • has SMG AND rocket launcher

    tick tank:

    • secondary MG fire
    • the tank shouldn't deploy like a tower but instead dig into the ground so only the cannon sticks outside the ground
    • self heal when deployed

    Disc thrower:

    • 3 EMP GRENADES

    EMP tank:

    • GDI should be able to buy them
    • creates EMP field when deployed

    Limped drone:

    • Nod should be able to buy them
    • cloaked when deployed
    • insta kills every GDI vehicle which drives over it

     

    Also both factions need lot more infantry units to choose from.

    Excuse me... who are you? What is your name ingame? Cuz i've never seen your name in Reborn. It doesn't even look like you have much experience in it.

    But i will comment each of your opinions, taking MPRA2 comment into consideration.

    I see no reason beyond buffing reaper with speed and more rockets. Tho, they may should have little bit more range and lock-on mechanics. Web is a must for reaper, but as they said, it is suspended for rework. (Like they couldn't leave it as it is right now, because "it was too annoying").

    Mammoth MK1 appearance in original TS is pretty limited  to campaign mission, where you can man them as these are abandoned, or find them in crates. Those should not be purchaseable. And I am glad they are not.

    Riot trooper is an unit with plenty of possibilities. Baton sounds funny and maybe it is not a bad idea. But it's already close combat unit using shotgun. Also in TS, they really had stun guns or whatever it was to stun riot leaders and spook civilians. So I hope someone with better imagination will find something special for it. Shield may be too op tho. And please, no goddamn EMP grenades. If there is something really annoying, it wouldn't be Reaper's web, but EMP nades. Please, NEVER implement those. And regarding to movement, if they wouldn't have shields and be only close quarters, they may should be faster.

    About jumpjet, what you 've just suggested is copletely trash. JJ is already quite powerful unit and fastest infantry ingame. It is already hard to hit them. Now they can at least be killed with guns, not only rockets.

    Umagon: Afaik it is squshable.

    Ghostalker: It shouldn't and I hope it will never be.

    Yeah, why don't just make Rebel mutant only char possible? It has Gun and Rockets. It will be perfect all-rounder and everyone will buy it , because why not (ekhem... Cyborg). But i wouldn't mind putting such unit into crates, if those would exist in TSR 2.0.

    Tick tank dig just a little into the ground. I think animation is taken from TS cutscene. Anyway, first, in orginal TS, they worked as towers or static defense, they didn't dig entirely into the ground. Second, it's burrowing claws are too small to burrow entire tank into the ground. And third... why? For what reason? And no regeneration when deployed. Those things already take less damage when deployed, have greater distance and maybe even better dpm (not sure with the last one tho). Regarding Machinegun, I tought about it a lot since I started playing Reborn. They have chaingun mounted on their turrets already. But on the other hand, Tanks couldn't use them in original TS. And if these would be implemented, Titans should get those too. And if so, machineguns shouldn't be too powerful, as ticks and titans are supposed to be anti tank and good enough to kill buildings and base defs, as they are now.

    Disc throwers would be fun with alternative grenade type. But what type it should be tho? Definitely not EMP tho. DTs are already good against all vehicles.

    EMP tanks will be implemented in 2.0 for both factions. I think...

    Dunno about limpet. If it should exist and what should it do. Maybe Limpets should work like emp mines.

    I think they took everything out of Original TS to put in reborn. There is not too much infantry in TS, I'm glad we have more than that in Reborn.

    Umagon is great, as is Toxin Soldier. The Cyborg Cannon may be a bit too powerful for structures and vehicles. WhereIsMyMedal and I, were able to wreck havoc inside of GDI's base. Once Moonsense, MPRA2, WhereIsMyMedal, and I all grouped up and pushed with Cyborgs, we were able to destroy the majority of GDI's base.

    The Cannon has an added benefit of being able to one shot kill most infantry.

    Borgs cannon as well as flamethrower was for Elite cyborgs only. That's why it's so imba - because they didn't think about consequences of those changes.

  4. Hello GeneralCamo

    I'm glad hearing those answers.

    While we are still in the topic, I want to point out, that there is no Service depot for Nod and refill pads for both, which may be quite annoying.

    MSGs are actually Mobile Lag Generators.

    I have no "Unit ready" sound at all.

    MRV still has no beam.

     

  5. Here, I will post my opinions about most changes in this update and why is it good / bad or totally dumb, to let you know why I am raging so much about it and discuss.

    -Rocket warhead effectiveness VS flying vehicles increased to 1 (was 0.8)

    Overall quite good change, as units with rockets should work well as AA. Dunno if it applies to JJ, but because of it's HP nerf it doesn't matter that much.

    Veterancy purged from all infantry units, effectively removing it from the game

    Making it way less interesting. I hope it's just temporarily suspended for balance purposes, as this mechanics is gamechanging and makes playing infantey far more enjoyable.

    -Umagon anti-vehicle C4 and Toxin Trooper Toxin Grenades removed
    -Umagon and Toxin Trooper projectile gravity increased to 0.5 (from 0)

    -Umagon rifle is no longer burst fire
    -Umagon damage up to 33 (from 11)
    -Umagon magazine size set to 8 (from 18)

    2 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Toxin Trooper damage up to 30 (from 10)
    -Toxin Soldier magazine size set to 10 (from 30)

    I'm okay with that. They also keep their anti-vehicle dmg as I suppose.

    -Cyborgs and Enforcers can now drive vehicles

    Dunno bout cyborgs. They are already powerful on foot. Now they can also be agile. But...

     

    2 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Cyborgs now have their arm cannon by default

    With this change and no nerf, these thing should at least be more expensive. Or got their HP & magazine capacity nerfed. Now it's OP even more. Grats. (Yes, i keep in mind, that Veterancy is no longer a thing, but it's still to much for this unit)

    2 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Disc Thrower secondary fire removed
    -Disc Thrower Gravity changed to 0.5 (from 2.250)
    -Disc Thrower Projectile velocity increased to 60 (was 40)
    -Disc Thrower range reduced to 100 (was 180)

    I hope, that Gravity reduction will be enough, but still I don't know about this change. It may be less situational, but with range reduction and no alt fire, it may become unit only for rushing structures, or defending base.

    -Riot Trooper moved up on the purchase list
    -Riot Trooper Price reduced to 400 (from 700)
    -Shotgun Slug ammo cost reduced to 1 (from 2)
    -EMP mines removed from Riot Trooper

    It makes sense. It's a little bit of shame tho, they don't have EMPs anymore, but these should be at least nerfed hard. It's another gameplay mechanics that goes to trash.

     

    2 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -JumpJet armor reduced to 0 (from 40)

    As I said earlier. HP reduction is ok. If rockets change also applies, it may be too much of a nerf.

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Elite Cadre Grenade Launcher now has unlimited ammo

    New disc throwers. I already see them camping on cliffs above GDI base etc, making use of their nades gravity factor. But not imba I think. Just very annoying when used correctly. And this is good change overall imo.

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Confessor Rifle damage boosted to 18 (from 14)

    Making it effectively all-rounder. Good change for vehs and buildings. Not so much for infantry. Remove burning damage and it will be ok.

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Cyborg Commando speed increased to 6 (from 5.5)
    -Cyborg Commando now has a flamethrower secondary fire

    Dumbest change you could ever done to the already overpowered unit. Even with veterancy removal, it will shit on everyone and everything. Nerf it's HP AT LEAST to 450 or 425. Ghostalker is now even more shittier in comparison to CC, than it was. And, oh yes, EMP mines don't exist anymore ;)

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Wolverine Targeting Range increased to 85 (was 75)
    -Wolverine MaxEngineTorque increased to 5000 (was 4750)

    More Wolvie rushes, but it's OK change.

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Hover MRLS secondary fire removed

    Another alternative/posibility/you name it - goes right into the trash.

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Disruptor Health/Armor increased to 500/500 (was 450/450)
    -Disruptor now uses Heavy armor (was Medium)

    Good change. If they were caught on field, they were usually dead a moment later. And now it will profit from enemy inattention, when it comes to assaulting bases.

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Juggernaut Splash Radius increased to 15 (was 12.5)

    I think, you should do something with Nod Arty instead. I hope you will do something about it in the upcoming updates.

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -ORCA Fighter range increased to 120 (was 90)
    -ORCA Bomber Splash Radius increased to 30 (was 15)
    -ORCA Bomber Splash Damage increased to 130 (was 120)

    I think it's a good change. But repairing Nod War Factory from inside when it's bombarded is now impossible, hope you knew it ;)

    -Attack Cycle model & physics updated to handle far better, making for a smoother experience

    FINALLY. Best change in this update.

    -Tick Tank now uses the same emitter when deployed and undeployed

    What does it even mean?

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -MRV now has a repair beam
    -MRV range increased to 12 (was 6)

    Good change for beam. You never knew if it repairs or not. Now you will. And it won't be easier to use it with better range.

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    -Cyborg Reaper damage increased to 40 (was 35)
    -Cyborg Reaper web removed

    Reaper damage wasn't good enough, but on the other hand, it's shape was tricky to shoot at. BUT DAMN, WHY THE F*** YOU REMOVED WEB?! YOu could make it so you cannot shoot after using web (As it was few years ago). But no, you removed f***ing another game mechanics because it was... I don't even know, it's just stupid decision.

    Better accuracy instead pls.

    -Vulcan Cannon damage reduced to 6 (from 8 )
    -RPG Turret damage reduced to 70 (from 80)
    -RPG Turret now uses Rocket warhead, making it more effective against vehicles, but less effective against infantry

    I don't know about that. I just don't know. GDI  base defs were already easier to kill than Nod ones. But those were sometimes super annoying. We will se how it will work.

    Ion Storms have been removed from most levels.

    Good. Annoying shiit. Though, I would rather make them less likely than remove entirely on some maps.. And add "Ion Storm Approaching" notification.

    TS_Isles

    - New back amphibious routes to the Nod base

    This one is good. But only followed with placing sams on cliffs, so they can make Orcas bombing War Factory or engis storming PP harder.

    - GDI base defenses no longer float

    But still die after just a few shots, huh?

     

    3 hours ago, Coolrock said:

    - New vehicles have been added leading into the side of each base
    - New vehicle routes have been added along with tunnels leading into each base
    - Some missing objects have been re-added
    - Mutants and the Mammoth Tank have been removed from the middle area
    - Crates will no longer float

    Who even CARES? This map is unplayable because of grass and leaves made of fucking titanium. At least middle route is now valind with removal of those mutants.

     

    Now, what's still missing?

    - Rocket Soldier range nerf

    - Ghostalker buff (swich armor into Health, so he can refill on tiberium, or add HP. And give him more speed, as you have done with CC)

    - MKII auto cannon turret nerf (this shit has better dpm than mammoth railguns)

    - Buggy and cycle need sth like handbrake. (Like in APB)

    - Titan is still shit, because it cannot usually keep it's balance, making it super hard and annoying to use.

    - fixing Mammy and literally every unit getting stuck everywhere.

    - Better usage of gun slots (for chameleon spy or engi)

    - DT's armor buff and gun handling

    - Tick tank bug fix, where it cannot shoot after leaving it while deployed

    - Probably some more, but I can't tell right now.

     

    And regarding APB patch, I've posted everything that was wrong with it already ;)

    What are the changes you would like to see?

    Surely not sneak changes

    Or even not entire update.

    In 3.5.0, only good changes (imo) was Tesla buff and MiG reworked physics. So it is not only about new changes, but changes overall.

    3.5.1 is changing literally nothing, but it is minor update, so i will ignore it for now.

    So first of all, I want APB to be alive, second - i hope that changes made in 3.5 update will be reconsidered. And I am still waiting for those goddamn doggos.

     

  7. Does anyone remember the game?

    Did anyone notice server is constantly empty lately?

    Is APB... dying?

     

    Honestly, APB was and still is one of the best game I ever had a pleasure to play. But apparently, latest changes are not what me and as I assume - other players - would like to see (with all respect to Pushwall and all other Admins&Mods for their hard work over making the game better). Still tho, server is empty, no games played and noone honestly like playing the game with bots in a long term. I didn't even downloaded current update - because there is no point in it.

    So I am asking you guys - what is happening? You also don't like changes made in the latest updates? Or is it other reason for you not to play the game? I would like to enocurage everyone to share their thoughts. And, damn, I miss those evenings spent on playing APB. I hope I'm not alone, and APB will be back alive.

  8. 1: Can you remove/ rework dust clouds created by movement? it looks like threads instead of legs.

    2: Crushing vehs is quite nice. But the look of destroying stuff and dissappearing without a trace is a little bit painful. It would be nice if ANY destroyed vehicle cause craters or wreckage like in IA.

    3: DTs are now useless against MK2, cuz of short range and hard gun handling. It will be crushed easily. Moreover, it may cause destroying DTs while burrowing.

     

    One more thing i would like to mention, but it's quite late is about Confessor Gun new texture. I don't really like it. The weapon "screen" good, but metall parts of the gun now looks like made of gum&plastic instead of real heavy metal in comparsion to the old texture. IMO it should shine more and be darker.
