Deadliest

I don't see how that's going to work. They had weapon testing prototype district A and B previously, not like its going to bring players to play there.. Events are not really great and you wan't them to create something fun and new? while delaying 2.1?

Why bother replying to them. I’m pretty sure everyone has experience that one person who would spam “player’s name is cheating aimbot wall hacks” etc and then later on insulting them on the district chat after beating them. Why bother replying to stupid people. You create more toxicity if you did reply back, because honestly I would have reply F*^*k U. Though cheating is still a problem but in a small margin. it’s the same result if you called an actual cheater are cheater, they just give you a big F U. Nothing you can do about it, just wait till they get ban.

NA DEAD

m8 i believe the game needs a 1 year maintenance to clean up. come back next year.

It’s crazy how small features like that has not been implemented into their game yet? gold should never be able to play on bronze district once you hit gold they should be auto move to silver. Simple solution. Tbh anyone who is above R195 still bronze/silver should be force to play on silver district and they should be disconnected in bronze server too, because with their fully equip weapon and cars, it’s not balance against newer players who has a sh*tty car and no clotting mod and weapon mods. These high ranks do as much damage to new players ( I know there are high rank bronze/silvers that likes farming newbies you guys are a problem too)

Soon they will have to enable cross-play. the console players will be bots for the PC players

APB was made for 4:3 res.

Another Russian hack your account? Merry Christmas!

Hello FC lords

m8 just buy a Espacio 2 slots thank me later, best investment ever.

Lol the games dead, kids seriously investing DDOS service attack on a low pop game, pathetic. F**k in the head, despite the engine update is still horrible. probably some Russian hacker

So, what happens after when you fix all the performance issues? will you be working on other improvements like the UI? because the HUD and font needs to be changed. ^ The reason they took out 1024x768 res in engine update, because of the UI was not compatible with lower resolution and they didn't bother to fix (it just too much crap on HUD with FAT ugly font and the most ugliest radar ive seen in a game) imo needs a new look and much simple hud system. do some good design changes please.

m8 are you even in a clan? Clan currently is not even important atm, there's rarely any active. Those ideas are just dumb, decorating art? just go social and decorate there man.

There were popular shooter multiplayer games out there back then, Counter-strike? Call of duty? Combat arms etc... it just that now there's so many game developers creating new games, players now have a variety of games to choose from. Like during the 2000s, pretty much the only choice you had for a popular online fps games were CS and quake, the idea of MMO game were still new, games such as Maplestory became hugely popular during the 2004s due to the customization of character and social aspect. The release of Apb reloaded during 2010-2011 was popular from the start, but most players were running the game at 60 frames or lower due to poor optimization or computer specs and those who can run 120fps with 120hz monitor were really rare and pretty good players. Like any new game especially the release of APB reloaded players were pretty much experimenting the game mechanics, like the fbw and carbine rhythm not many players discover how to max the fire rate legit without macro. To me the top tier players during that time were the pioneer which helped progress and the growth of players to get better, which you see currently now. There were actually insane legit players during the 2011-2013 who played like current good players in 2020, even understanding all the cheesy broken tactics that the game offered. But currently If a new player join they don't have the variety of opponents to versus due to population which is kinda harder, more common to go up against a pre made group and many veterans pretty much know everything and well geared up big advantage over someone who's new. The game pretty much expired and for a year 2021 there will be more new games in the future and APB will not keep up to date attracting new players or keeping. I would say if your a max rank player and you end up vsing some low rank bronze, silvers, pretty much just give them the win because you don't really gain anything from it when you win. Up to whoever choose to help in an online game not everyone is nice and they don't have to go out there way to help someone. ye HAN didn't survive I did my best during a year.

sorry bud if you haven't played during the glory days 2011-2013 > engine update.

The last thing we want is to add more weapons into the game, there's already a large pool of weapons in the game to the point that some weapons are terrible. I just wish they would get rid of the weapon RNG mechanic of this game and have projectile mechanics instead. The game will always be toxic even when it was populated, players trash talk just like any other pvp online game, sometimes they hackusate / harass for no reason and there's time they just jealous of you beating them. There will always be players like that and you can't really do much about it, if it happens to you, Just ignore and move on. The player base is mix with all kinds of groups and people some are nice or bad and you choose who you want to be friends with. As far as recent i think LO has been enforcing toxic behavior pretty well, though the griefing and blocking points is still a problem. The game is not dying because of toxicity! there's no way players are quitting due to someone insulting them online. It's more of the game dying due to boredom and content. Currently with less population i think there should be less toxicity compare to back during peak days of apb. They need to do something big to make this game actually worth advertising in the year 2021.

Bigger pool of players to fight seems like its going to be a temporary population increase, but I don't see the growth of new players coming in. Even if they unified the servers, the main concern is LO will have multiple district with different locations without any players on it. NA would probably be dead still and players will be force to play on EU server since it currently has the highest local population of players, making it active 24/7. Worst players will quit or force to connect to a server outside their country in order to play apb reloaded, there's going to be players with 120-300+ ping, probably many will use vpn to have decent connection. The other servers will be a waste to run etc Asia or Australia, if there's less players or none it's not going to grow, unless the game somehow magically attracts everyone to play, because the truth is a new player's first impression of apb is going to be dogsh*t experience. many have forgotten that there was once a Asia player base in 2011 with 700+ population on HAN and G1 Killed it by changing the location to California. I doubt they all come back because of the engine update.

China? The most legitimate reason that a player would use a vpn is to fix their routing issue, which does help slightly lower latency and improve consistency. Since there are only two servers EU and NA, players from outside of those countries may need a VPN in order to play at a playable latency. some Australian ISP are pretty shiity, who knows soon NA will shutdown and it's going to become EU only. games f*k

Am I the only one who doesn't need a tutorial to learn the game? i don't think that existed back then. Those who started APB this year probably would have a 80% chance of quitting/uninstalling, due to the current state of the game and low population of NA. I don't know if there's even a community or a clan to even help you things like this you suppose to learn and improve yourself at your own pace and find friends in game, that's the apb experience while progressing. there's literally no hope the engine update seems like a disappointment and its not going to bring hype to the game. 6 years for this??? all hope is lost.

you do know there's different peak population time zone on those servers. U pay to make a new character.

games dead for Australians, unless you are from Perth you could play on citadel with 200 ping during night time.

This aint no call of duty.

bad idea not enough population, so pretty much free roam and kill randoms? I doubt people would even joined, rather just go fight club.

wasn't there an exploit that themes were able to duplicate original themes and make it their own? or hack? That probably piss the theme makers more.

I would like if they could just revamp everything and get rid of the god dam awful RNG hitscan mechanic, have everything replace with projectile mechanics. Shut down the game and start all over again. thanks.
