    PVE content

    Tunner replied to Tunner's topic in Game

    Here are some of my thoughts what PVE activities could be like: Enforcers: Money transport (security van), terrorism prevention (bug-planting), arresting suspicious individuals (same thing as mugging for crims now, except they get arrested instead of mugged) Criminals: Drug transport, car customization and export, working for a collector (ramraiding targets from a list and delivering a full list of items desired by the client) These are really easy to do and code, so they wont require much manpower or time to implement.

    Indeed. There is no reason not to go this route. Every game that wants to stay relevant no matter what does this, even GTA Online does this, and thats a super popular game that doesnt have problems with its player numbers to begin with. Funnily enough, they have recently toned down the toxicity of the game (griefing) and no longer require public sessions to do business things on your own or with your crew. Some inspiration to be had here too. This game can only profit from this. And I would love to see more lore and perhaps the factions and stuff.

    I love exploring the idea of opening the world of APB:R up to something BEYOND just walking to objectives and going "Keep the change" on other players. PVE could give the game a lot of depth, personality, lore and could open up entire systems. Imagine not only getting slight advantages in combat (for example a succesful Enforcer Spray Over Enemy Tags time mission awards you with a consumable of your choice), but also gaining upgrades (equipment?) to boost yourself into getting more PvE missions done. You could have roles for it with interesting unlucks. You could gain XP in a videogame where currently: The grind to R290 is L-O-N-G and only available in PvP. Maybe we could bring items like ammoboxes from contact to contact, with a chance of other players interfering (kinda like GTA V business style). Investigations with clues and randomised missionspots. (The entertainment value will eventually decrease as people will memorise but alright). Spraying over tags like you said, along with the investigations. Maybe in those investigations/theft you can have elements of ShadowsOfDoubt in there. Where you have to gather clues by tapping into satalitedisks or see a list of phonecalls made previously. Connecting the dots. Enforcers could maybe try to locaste a specific only-for-them-visible NPC where they get a photo and a clue of the right direction. Or be assiged to a ShadowStrike team to do something like breaking into a facility and spawning into a smol, smol, SMOL area the size of a house in a seperate 'disctrict' and engage on NPC's or make choices. Maybe pick up an ambulance and rescue NPC's? Criminals could 'intimidate' stores by creating destruction in surrounding areas. Or set up 'ambushes'. Possibly a bigger misison where they gather an item, uncover an email or phonenumber and distort/blackmail important political figures. There's a lot of potential. All very hopeful ideas for now of course. But it's a very fun idea to think about.

    Its good to see the game is still around and is also getting new content along the way, but even the newest addition to matchmaking (that works rather well) cannot compensate for extremely low playerbase. As much as I like the game, its mostly just unplayable for me and many others as the only players that are still around already have like 10+ years of playing this game under their belt, making all matches very boring, predictable, and unwinnable. Can we perhaps get some PVE content, so that we can grind the game without the need to go to PVP? Ramraids are already pretty fun and worthwhile, but it only works for criminals cause enforces need the criminals to start ramraiding first to start their own version. In other words, you can only PVE grind when you are a criminal. And it only really works with money, as contact standing is very slow to grind this way. Besides, we could use some PVE missions with bots anyway (or even without, for example detective cases or spray painting), so that both crims and enfs can grind when there are no people playing or the matchmaking is out of whack. It will surely help the game survive better and keep some of the playerbase playing, as opposed to quitting after taking enough boredom and abuse and just waiting for this game to be good and populated again. Spoler alert, it will never get populated unless people have a reason to stay in the first place, thats why we need a PVE safety net, so anyone at any point of any skill can start the game up and have fun in this game world without reserve.

    well you can see how informative the gms post was, just sudden maint no reason given and then they lock the thread. Rude. The Legends Event' wasn't even mentioned that it existed, we had to figure that one out ourselves, then its fight gold stacks for 80 missions to reach lev 8 for a title and some tickets.

    see you in 6 months

    So now people called you out for not having the event up and running as of last week to even a couple of days ago ie wednesday now we go into an unexpected down time to bring on the event.. what is with the unusual event patches when normally they are done on the wednesday maintenance patch.. as said before good job guys.. (insert sarcasm here)

    Imo the current 190r should be the last one as it symbolizes the factions themselves. Current ones is fine tho as them symbolize factions animals on city emblem.

    Thanks for the update but I HATE the new rank icons and rather stick with old rank 255 icons - they are slick! That shouldn't be difficult to implement, neither breaks the game.

    no, no matter what i try people only want me for something, and the second i can not, refuse to, or no longer can provide that they dump me like yesterdays trash.

    Man issue with moving disc is that half the time a person decides to quit out during it. if they do this you get stuck with a pending teammate with no way of kicking or removing them This leads to an unfair match for either side. it's also annoying when you move. do one mission move again and repeat for an hour straight Just make it a setting that we can toggle on and off if we want to be moved or not.
  28. MACKxBOLAN
    well that is ok for most people only looking for a match, and in the case i stated, they will rq and reboot and go into the more popped dist, in other words the whole thing is done to reduce that dist pop so they can get in. But, allot of people come for the friends and or frienemies, they want to join their groups and play as squad. Some just want to come in and shoot the patootie or just watch the other play for the comics of it. Normally a dead district is there for stealers and or cops hunting stealers. Then You have the mechanics of it, when you are in a popped dist you have your car and load out, and you park of hangout in a central area or where you want to be within the dist. when they pull you out, you then spawn at a contact, have to get another car then proceed to the mission. Then you need to try to get back to the main dist afterward

    I don't ask everybody. But my answer was to yours as I assume you did. Maybe you should change tactic? ^_^

    Awesome job guys delayed legends patch for months because of events and failures and now it's Easter in two days yet no event when in the past the event would be up and running days or even a week before.. again great job on improving the game since taking ownership..

    Before the only way to access it was either climbing a ladder in direct view of the 'Fortress' or running across a roof with little cover from the 'Fortress'. This adds some covered paths to the stairs that will force anyone on the roof of the 'Fortress' to split their attention, and the stairs allow a better attack position.

    Hello everyone, Just to give a bit more update on the situation: A major power surge at our EU data center caused a brief outage and damaged some minor equipment. A small fire was immediately contained, and there was no data loss or major infrastructure damage. We are bringing servers back online as they clear inspection and will be ordering replacement hardware to restore full capacity as quickly as possible. This issue will mostly affect overall capacity in the meantime.

    considering how hideously erroneous the game is to run in windows, which is "supported", it would be a miracle if it ran in anything unsupported general rule of the thumb is that most online games with the modern anti-cheat solutions don't bone well with any of the linux distros (for now)
  34. Bellenettiel
    i still have to check it out, along with other changes, but my guess is that it is easier to ambush now
  35. MidnightQ
    I know its quiet late but for some reason the STAR 556 'LCR' Love Gun is available to buy still why it hasn't have the accountwide purchase option ?
  36. BlatMan
    What did it fix? The position is so powerful because you can see every spawn location. If anything, they made it easier to get onto that roof to camp it.
