the population been decrease long time ago dude, the previous company killed it and LO try to revived the game but still has the same problems that G1 face.
it's normal for people to stop playing, Even I only play when a friend ask me to play and we still had fun even though we both poorly experience high latency game play + all the BS the game offers, hit reg, stutter lags etc etc. Hell my rl wanted to play again hit me up and we played 2 missions and he quit because we were getting only attack missions in the worst spots in a row against the same duo NA players that played the game 24/7 (these guys time were playing at 3-4 am in the morning who does that? Like i said the game is trash in a unique way but you can still enjoy it at some extent.
There are better games out there in the year 2021. If i wanted to play a shooter I could always go back to quake live, CSGO, RS2, Call of Duty or battlefield.
QuoteWhy do you assume ppl only want to play in groups? If that was the case there wouldn't be shortage of groups getting matched with other groups.
People do want to play in groups so they have a better team obviously, they just choose not to there's players who just want to play the game solo, don't care challenge and then there's you who solo and whinge about getting put again'st a pre-made group.
Find a group dude / clan or w/e are You on NA or EU?
spam in the district say you are LFG ' I'm a potato girl" carry me
done.

I am questioning myself why I am still coming back to it even though the gameplay is solid (if the game had any playerbase).
God dammit you are such a Potato,
If you don't have anyone to play with or playing on NA just quit or take a break and save yourself the trouble. If you want to continue to play maybe group up with someone that you played with who's soloing is a good start.

Nah Han population +
QuoteWell not anymore.
poor mentality
QuoteHow? The game is super newbie unfriendly.
Currently the game is decade old now most of them are veterans, at least they can get people to try the game out, the EU bronze district is still playable for newbies if they fix the de-threat problem.

Every time when the teams consist only of solos the game feels so much fun and even balanced.
But when premade get matched vs all solos (as usually happen), you may as well go afk because it is game over and you are waiting for the timer to runs out.
yea lets ignore the fact that the game hasn't have a major update in the last 7 years, players just quit the game, resulting in low population that current matchmaking now is unbalance due to the low player pool available in the district, who's fault is it? the current players still playing what it was intended to be? what??
The game needs players for match to start, if there ain't enough players in the district there will be problems, longer wait time for match, going against the same opposition etc, Look at dead battle royal games they require XXX amount of players in the server for the game to start without them the game will be dead and games like Ring of Elysium merge match make with solos, duos into 4 man-squads so they have enough players to start. Who knows maybe the last resort of APB is to temporarily remove threat and let everyone play in one district with no segregation and you wouldn't know their threat level, at least there will be a faster matchmaking. (This was done on HAN server)
you blame having squads killing the game when APB is all about playing as a team and making friends when you progress and there are times new players who started APB because their friends were playing it. That's how I found out APB reloaded when my real life friend was playing it and i was able to join and play as a group, so removing this feature is dumb for those new players who want to play with their friends.
it's still a good marketing for APB to attract new players or bring back old players to play with their friends again.
Have you ever group with someone? because the game actually feels so much fun if you have someone to play with, I just don't get it do you like soloing?
if you been playing this game years soloing you are doing it wrong, with your attitude and you going afk, maybe I know why no one want's to play with you. You make the game harder for yourself, at this point just play fight club.
If you wanted to solo the game for what ever reason, I don't care but note this you may experience unfair match like any other game pre-mades vs pugs.

Why don't you just title better matchmaking?
You can't remove Pre-made groups, because that just defeats the purpose of playing with friends.
I don't see removing threat, pre-made teams and remove abandonmission will help new players....

Peak time for EU and NA are different due to timezone, So if you were to join EU during the night for you it's probably going to be dead.
likewise of course NA population is going to die out the game lacks content, what are you suppose to do after you max rank? there's literally nothing going on for them to progress next. Once they log in and face the same players over and over again to the point it becomes so repetitive and boring players lose interest they just quit or rarely play. It seems pointless to continue playing.
APB Reloaded is a decade game and over those years it rarely changed, not even a new Map or at least expand the current maps for WF or FN. Engine update? looks poorly done and long way to go, nothing extra came with the engine update other than new contacts...
They not getting enough growth from new players so they could be a potential long time APB player and these days it's harder to attract new players to continue playing.
There's probably still some low lifers from NA still playing the game 24/7 they literally don't sleep.
If you merge NA to EU, 80% of the Jericho player base would have quit. Only the guys who play the game 24/7 will benefit them and the others cannot play during EU peak time or unbearable latency. They already Lost 90% of the Asia player base when they merge Han to EU, Oceania player base is somewhat extinct there's probably only 2-8 active players atm, they probably got more Brazilian players than NA players in Jericho lol.

1 hour ago, Hexerin said:Dude has spent years, literally years both before and during LO's ownership, doing literally nothing but griefing every mission he's in (among plenty of other actions that break ToS/CoC). Yet he's still playing freely. Him being one of an endless list of examples of LO's actions proving that they really just don't care about the game at all. They don't take any action against anyone, with the one exception being if you criticize them openly like I'm doing here. This thread will be deleted, and I'll receive at minimum a temporary forum suspension, because LO's fragile ego can't handle being called on their bullshit. It's absolutely pathetic how completely devoid of integrity LO is. They're literally no different to RG, G1, and K2.
do you have proof????

Input issues
in PC
do you have g-sync on?

You could have rent them from contact….

9 hours ago, TheDogCatcher said:How was it a good idea to drive away many legitimate players because they now believe the game is infested with hackers ?
I don't dispute that many players might have been wrongly banned, but by unbanning everyone it just looked like LO weren't taking the issue of cheating seriously, this in a game that already had a terrible reputation for stuff like this.
Just look at the numbers on steam charts if you don't believe me, when LO took over the number of players doubled almost overnight, so it's not like people weren't willing to give them a chance, then when they unbanned everyone the number of players dropped like a lead balloon and never recovered.
Again, it's not about doing the right thing by those who were unfairly banned, it's about maintaining your current playerbase and being seen to take the issue of cheating seriously, gaining the trust of players and slowly building from there.
It really isn't a matter of ethics, it's a matter of good business sense.
Please LO did take the game pretty seriously against cheaters, we had EAC and then BattleEye, which Is better than Fairfight. I said this before Mattscott in 4 years did more than what tiggs did in 6 years all she did was spoiled you guys with sales so you can kiss her butt. F*KEN GOOD FOR BUSINESS??
Those guys who say the game in infested with cheaters are usually the one who accused 70% of the population is cheating. Then there's a guy on the forum who accused half of the population in fight club is cheating or a streamer who was using no recoil when his clearly not. People are just so ignorant. and I don't care if they quit at least there still some talented legitimate players around old or new coming which is needed for the player base.
Many more players would be wrongly banned if FF was left unchecked, Mattscott literally identify some false positive in FairFight meaning you may have a chance ending up falsely banned when you are not cheating! which is a problem don't you get it? How can an anti cheat exist when it has a chance of falsely banning legitimate players is it fair to sweep the legitimate players with the actual banned cheaters? those legitimate veterans players who were victims of false bans were part of the player base too.
You don't care because you never experience a false banned.
It's good business for LO to unban those players. You can blame G1 for those mistakes.

They should do a cross play for console players they can join PC bronze district and silver

this video is all about advertising NVIDIA software / hardware Reflex Latency Analyzer on the new 360hz monitor LOL.
Everyone knows about input lag, display lag, network lag and human reaction time.
Just gona do a rant about stuff
APB is poorly optimized, each individual player who played has suffer from some sort of input lag or network lag. The game is notorious for hitreg issues, this is why APB was never taken seriously competitive like the guy I killed I wouldn't know if I was lucky or had better reg than them or they may experience network lag, micro stutters during that moment and died due to game being sh*t.
I believe people who experience high input lag, fps stutters may experience common hitreg issues, for example I know for a fact I am able to OCA min-ttk with a minimal 15 shots if I had 144 fps and low latency, while on full 20/20 asylum I get around average 110fps-120fps I literally can feel the input lag while my frames dip, especially my mouse movement and at times it took 20+ OCA ammo just to kill someone... Now it could be just me playing at higher ping, but idk if anyone notice the same thing with a lower latency on full asylum when their frames dip under 90-110? reg was never consistent for me videos i recorded are usually the best reg captured.
it's pretty common for apb players playing on 144hz monitors by now, but guys with 60hz + low fps it's a lose for them in any game and it's true the guys who hackusate are usually the guys who play bare minimal of 60fps with sh*ty mice, keyboard, monitor, high ping, who would accuse someone blatant that uses a carbine, fbw or Oscar because they can never track that guy with full auto weapons when they are Strafing and shooting at the same time.
I find it complete nonsense for someone to go completely low config with everything so low so they would gain as much performance as possible even though they have a beast computer, Why not just play quake live easy 250fps constantly? if your going for that competitive route.
Using Advance launcher basic custom minimal settings is already good enough for easy visual and performance, I doubt people would notice slight fps increase if they go super low so the game looks so terrible. You can also tweak your computer or bios settings and NVIDIA settings to reduce input lag.
Hopefully the new engine allow us to keep our low config settings because I don't see the point in playing on max it just looks terrible and it's better off playing on custom low settings.
Game should at least uncap to 240 after engine update for those who have 240hz + monitors tbh.

NA population multiple cheating? the probability of a dirty match would be pretty dam high and without you giving some video evidence we wouldn't know what really happened. Hell there's people out there that say 60% of the player base is using some sort of cheat, people are just way too paranoid, like someone said here if you suspect every player are cheating every time you match, I think you better off playing another game.
who knows there's probably an undetectable private cheat shared around for XX amount of money only those circle jerking closet group use maybe 1-4 players on NA, though that's low depending if they play on a daily basis. No one knows how BattleEye or LO deals with these type of cheaters, but if detected it's going to be a Global banned
and pretty sure they handing out global bans now for first offense cheaters.
I seen battleEye does it's job i've seen proof that average bad cheater get's banned mid game while poorly cheating on a 1v1 so it does it's job at some extend.

Paying subs to play online on console apb loool

56 minutes ago, R3ACT3M said:imagine putting all the work in for APB
I mean dude those guys who plays at 30fps are torturing themselves to R255? not only it takes longer but the experience is terrible.
If you play games for 3 hours daily why not invest money into a better pc? mouse and a 144hz monitor which is pretty dam cheap now. I'm sure it will improve their experience in general not just apb dude.

2 hours ago, R3ACT3M said:Id like proof of this statement.
First of all this game is 18+ adult probably have some experience in shooters so 60-80 hours playing the game is enough to see how missions are played and choosing a weapon to main, whereas some probably be their first game and it may take time to adapt to mouse and keyboard.
I've seen new players quickly learn the game and improved on my server and progress to 255 gold. So idk what's the problem it's either the bronze players are filled with kids with their crappy home pc, struggling to play with a minimal of 30fps or adults with 500+ hours playing on a crappy pc with wifi internet and barely getting to silver? so who's fault is it? LO? you cannot fix stupid, they choose to play with poor experience which can be easily fix if they weren't that dumb and invest on better computer hardware, peripherals + internet so they could improve in their game experience making it more enjoyable even if you are just a casual gamer.
It's obviously the new players who have experience in shooters would likely versus those kids with their crappy PC and get to silver or gold with ease, those players will tend to end up playing on the silver districts with the golds soon.
Now if someone who's R255 has no idea what they doing but enjoying the game the way he/she plays I don't care tbh. tko never complained I guess his the best bronze player.

6 hours ago, Cyberlicious said:He probably hasn't been playing actively for 8 years, may not have even played for the last year or 2, may have high ping, etc. He's complaining about being WTFpwned... not because he's lying or incapable, but because LO abandoned the current game and let every exploiter, hacker, toxic match blocker, dethreater, suicider, etc destroy the game. You'd see it too if weren't playing toxic fanboi so damn hard,
Unless he himself is a bronze/silver due to not having played the game in the past year or having really bad ping. The idea that you're playing "gotcha" when he's telling the truth is pathetic. He's not bragging about being a good player. he's trying to expose to INCOMPETENT LO that the matchmaking is broken and the game is dying because toxic dethreater bullies who go gold and dethreat everyday chase off the new/casual playerbase.
ALL I SEE IS WHINING AND CRYING!
We know the matchmaking is poor and it gets worst when the population is low, you think it's an easy fixed for LO? Maybe we should just put you only against new players who are under R40 because you are just bad at the game and never bothered to improve. Pretty selfish don't you think? and those dethreating are the same selfish and shallow.APB uses an asymmetric matchmaking system which puts you against players who are ready to play available base on who's in the district, this is the fastest way in getting a game. Since the player pool is mix with different skill level, there is a poor ratio chance in skill balance between players in matchmaking which LO cannot control in a 40/40 district, which may change in the future.
I'm not sure how bronze district is like but NA bronze population is dead, so this is happening in EU? I assume you have 2 bronze district full peak time which is pretty dam good IMO for growth of new players. Even though you may have a chance versing a de theater, that player is literally the same as you who cry about matchmaking / cheaters / exploiters etc, on the silver district get 'WTFpawned' as you describe, by group golds or individual gold players, so they came to bronze for a fair match.
But the difference is that they are well geared and had more experience, but still bad at the game when facing actual golds. which I believe the only way to stop dethreating is to disable players that are R100 from entering bronze/silver district, which I doubt these players would like that idea. These days people just don't even want to improve in a game anymore and are lazy even though they have the time to do so you can still be casual and progress your journey in improving which this game is all about.
By R100 an average player should know how to play the game and the mechanics. the bronze district is meant to be a starting ground for new breed of new players who can face other new players and learn about the game, which should be easily to achieve silver or gold.
who knows maybe there are players with at least 300+ hours that are just incapable and incompetent and are still the same since day one. There are players out there who play on high ping that are gold and players who came back from long breaks that are gold, so these excuses are not justified you just want an easy game so you don't have to put effort into the game like everyone else does. If you don't enjoy the game I would suggest you quit maybe APB is not for you, but there are new players out there who struggle and would progress quicker than others and those who do enjoy the game and have a better experience. Every player has room to improve you just have to get into that mental state and realize you are trash but also tell yourself you are going to be the best.
You know the best way in improving the game is actually playing against better players? ye it's uneven matchmaking but you can at least try? you may die but observe how they kill you and what you can do next time. Those players who dethreat are normally not good players anyways keep that in mind even if they have legendary and explosive.

wait who's dethreating you?

Midtown = endgame map must be R255 to enter

new player with star gun and starter car
lol
they should all start with a pioneer / espacio.

Queue system was suggested years ago when the game was at it's peak, in the year 2021 and the game still doesn't have one LOL.
The game has always lack in attention to detail, stuff like this should be in the game already....
Like why isn't there one? right the game is dead now.

1 hour ago, Darkzero3802 said:If by now none of you have seen how bad the pop is your blind. All of the recent decisions by Matt and the lack of addressing anything in the current engine have left everyone flocking away. Unless you shift focus to the current engine to try to salvage what's left your engine work will be pointless as nobody will be playing the game. APB pop has been dying at a faster rate then anytime in its past, and this last yr is during a pandemic where everyone is home all the time and everyone else (other games) saw increases. Wake up LO, wake up Matt time to come back to reality.
lol the population has been like this for years. I used to play during this time and you can see it's always dead, been like that since 2018 Han and now NA.
I checked the statistics of NA peak hours https://will.io/apb/ barely reaching 100 during the week lol. I assuming you just post the screen shot an hour ago where everyone from NA is sleeping?
There's barely any Asia + Oceania players left to play during those time zone to keep the server going there use to be 150 regular Han players playing during this time, most of them quit due to their ping being above 200ms on NA. idk this game likes to kill off region player base like how g1 move Han off china and 700+ players from Asia disappeared lol, same thing goes with little orbit merging Han into NA which only benefits a few players, but most of them are already on the edge of quitting.
People quit due to having poor experience with the game or take breaks, the game hasn't changed for years, with the population decreasing who wants to play a 20v20 populated game against the same players everyday. It's even worst for those new players who end up being railed by veterans in a daily basis, I don't see the game growing.

Wait what? So pretty much a chaos event district? that’s not going to solve anything you scrap off the core gameplay of apb and made it into a huge TDM?
what happens when the fractions are unbalance or the population gets even much lower than before?
to me it seems like fight club that serves no purpose, other than it can be an event thing.

strange specimens
Pre made groups are killing the game.

Every person I met played apb with over the years were the best people, known them for years, talked on mic no problem, so choose your friends wisely or who you played with. If they were toxic you don’t have to play with them or talk to them…
Yea just because that 1 random person stalked you, you have to blame the whole community being toxic, you are over exaggerating.
but hey if you don’t want to group up with people because of what ever reason then I don’t care. You play your way.
I rarely play I don’t need to look for groups I have enjoy the game while it last
