    5/23/2026 AMA Bullet Summary · LO plans on adding their own web based Server/District Population Status to replace community developed https://will.io/apb/ · GFAC Server side is providing great results, more work needs to be done on Client side · Matt believes the Color Rank system (Bronze/Silver/Gold) is outdated, and discussed removing it all together · Improve New Player experience, recognizes that they have bad player retention Is not happy that New Players are t5hrust into missions against seasoned Vets New Players ultimately quit · They have been playing around on their dev server with BOTS, the purpose is to create PvE opportunities. This ties in to New Player experiences, Game Tutorials Leveling Contacts/Stats will occur, but not at the same level as regular missions · Players using 3rd party tools to gain an advantage have been pooled against like minded players. Because of low population, some of these 3rd party tools players are experience long wait times to go up against other 3rd party tools players · The addition of Tails was mentioned, and the subject was quickly changed as Matt was shaking his head · Matt wants to do away with ARMAS requiring you to select a Character when Redeeming codes and buying items, and just let the purchase be accessible at the Account level · Matt is happy with the new Vault features as a way to manage your inventory, and the transfer of items between account Characters · APB is ready for an Epic Game Store release, but Matt wants to improve New Player experience before Epic release to insure New Player retention has been addressed I probably missed some things, but this was the jist of it. I like the idea of PvE BOTS, as long as they’re not cheating. EDIT: Also APB console is coming back UE5 development is on hold, as they concentrate on Player retention and QOL updates

    It honestly just seems like @MattScottand LO dont really care anymore. Back when they first got the game I defended them saying give them some time to cook and learn the game. The BR mode everyone crapped on when it came out I even defended as it was the first true new thing in the game since forever ago and while it wasnt perfect it had potential. But nobody gave it a chance to come out of its open test phase and since then it seems like LO gave up. They also listened to the wrong people in terms of what they should do for the game which only drove away more players. LO needs to step up at this point otherwise just shut the game down. Its been so long it will be impossible to recapture what was once here unless an APB 2 is released. Even if they did fix the hacking issue its too little too late now. The vets such as myself have grown up. 15 years ive been playing APB thats a very long time. Those vets who have aged and moved on wont come back.

    Some changes great. Doesnt address the most obvious game flaws and problems that have been here since SoonTM.

    With such priorities, this game will soon be played only by admins and a bunch of wreckers whom they listen to, receiving money from them. Guys, seriously. Remove everything from the game that lowers FPS. Cut out all the editors. Make one female character in a black suit. And delete all cars except Vegas. You'll have less work to do. And your target audience, whose needs you are trying so hard to satisfy while killing the game, will be delighted.

    This code does in fact work from what I have heard. However, a player such as myself would lose G1C in the time it takes to enter this code. -

    Finally good changes after a while. The game needs 10x more similar changes, more substantial ones. It's sad that a static crosshair took 14 years to implement.... Let's hope this patch didn't introduce new issues. I fail to see why the pack is separated for males & females and have different pricing for each? Why not make it into 1 bundle for both M/F?....

    I"m surprised you had enough time to kick them 3 times. Creme De La Crime? It's probably the same bug that lets you call in disconnected teammates by using /dnd, except that step isn't required because they're not in your group.

    Hi, i got about +100ms latency increase on EU server for about 2 days already. My network is fine (has a stable 700-800mbps in download and upload). I see no nework lags elsewhere beside APB. Does anyone else experience this lately?

    Tails, WHEN!!!!!! ????
  25. Ardita
    Why bother kick one guy 3 times? Must have been pain in the a$$ to end up getting kicked 3 times in row.

    As long they can't fix the issue where the parked npc vehicles alarm randomly goes off when not touched, hit or anything else than driving by, each time they make an update, I don't believe or expect anything at all

    Its not a matter of trust as much as believing they possess the ability. they have zero control over the servers, some hack just presses a button and fin disappears so they can play wf, where there's no contacts. So i go in thinking ill try, has to re up premium, then the hackers crash the server. n next day is maint, now on thursday. So no revenge today

    Don't trust this post before it's been approved by McD @EC2Jonathan
  29. MACKxBOLAN
    @MattScott You have to gain control of your own servers. Not to mention everyone asking for true cross district which means working on any contact from either wf or fin. So Why at this stage, after all of your improvements to your engine, can a player decide he wants everyone to goto wf and demands it, then applies DDS and crashes the server. Why is "Some Player" able to do this. Hence, You and LO do not have control over your servers.

    Hello everybody, Our standard weekly maintenance will be held this Thursday (05/21) starting at 9:00 AM UTC. The game should be back up and running in 6 to 8 hours. Patch notes: Adds "Legends Street Wear" Bundle to the Joker Ticket store. This pack will have account wide versions available for purchase on ARMAS shortly after the maintenance has concluded. This pack will feature the new Legends clothing items. These weren't quite ready for Legends release but we've patched them up and wanted to release them for our Memorial Day sale so players can get an extra early-bird discount on these new items should they want the account wide versions. Please note that due to the large amount of item combinations some of these new clothing items may currently allow for some unintended item combinations, releasing them now should help us identify and fix them quicker than we would during our regular testing cycles. Adds a new Matchmaking UI that will display the amount of Matchmaking passes, players ready per faction as well as the amount of ongoing backup calls. Adds a new static crosshair in the middle of the screen while a player is sprinting as well as the option to turn it off found in the games options menu. Fixed an issue causing Cross-District matches or backup calls to not properly add individual players or teams leading to missions starting with not all players or backup calls getting stuck as "Pending". Pending players now get cleared after a certain period of time should they fail to connect to the new district. Fixed an issue causing players to disconnect when making new characters or renaming existing ones. Balance Updates: SBSR 'Coroner' & 'IRS' Lowered Stamina damage from 250 to 245. Dev comment: This is a minor change to prevent players from using the SBSR's in combination with the Stabba PIG to allow for almost instantaneous stuns. Thank you for your patience.
