Wait it doesn't?

Yea, at this point I understand how hard it is to balance this game's weapons. And Ill have to agree with a post I read long ago that weapon balance has to constantly evolve. There will never be perfect balance without changing core mechanics. I'm not gonna get into a tangent about weapon balance as it's been done to death. Yea with the new player thing it is just an unfortunate part of the game. Granted I've brought up the game to tons of people at my work place who also take part in gaming who have never heard of APB Reloaded. I mean myself included I never heard about the game until I looked up best free games when I was probably 14 (now 21). So there is still an untapped population of people who haven't heard of the game that LO is waiting to advertise too once the game is considered acceptable. Like I said I took a break cause the constant stutter and frame drops were just not fun to try and play through. So im hoping this 64bit upgrade helps that. Merged. If i told you i loved you would that change your mind?

Yea really. The stutter is part of the reason I took a break

Yea I remember reading all that but didn't feel like double checking to make sure I was right so I didn't say it. I don't remember them saying the contacts being in 1.3 although that would be nice. I also hope that they do get that district phasing thing working as that sounds amazing.

I can see myself returning if the game runs smoothly even if no new content is being dropped with it. Also, since the engine upgrade is on hold indefinitely/cancelled, I been curious what will happen with console players. (I play on PC just curious)

FFA R&D III and the Bullshark. I will never forget the time I pissed off a PMG player back when it was OP/Meta with the Bullshark. *sigh* great times FFA R&D III: I like this cause the Famas is one of my favorite IRL rifles in terms of Design Bullshark: It's a very fun weapon with a solid gunshot sound behind it. Something about hearing that 4 round burst is just delicious to me.

.45 is a good one for sure if you don't want to spend money on the game period, otherwise I would try and get something quirky that can't be bought through the armas shop. But thats just me

I like how steam handles reports, just a. You're report has been reviewed and an action has been taken thank you they don't say what action but they said they did something

Thank god APB is not the only game to ever exist

what ever will you do

I like the thing one person said a long time ago, that APB needs an ever evolving META, since there is so many guns making guns rise and fall would keep things interesting for ever as long as the balance changes are like a wave and not a hillclimb or avalanche in stats. But since the last balance patch was months if not more ago it has created unrest Also I feel targeted for my only request to nerf the PMG

Once upon a time like I said :3 It still was one of the more fun times I had playing APB and I would call myself decent among the player-base

There is no way to 100% prove someone you're fighting against is cheating as you can't see how they did it. People need to stop this nonsense as calling everyone a cheater is toxic and provides no meaningful solution to being able to prove someone is in-fact 100% cheating. Want a more productive solution vs just accusing everyone or complaining that Battle-eye is a bad anti-cheat? Implement kill cams, that way you can see how your opponent killed you, then let us send said clip via reporting for Little Orbit to archive and make heavy note of.

Threat shouldn't be telegraphed as it just creates more things for players to be toxic about. A: There is pressure to keep your threat level if your gold cause anything less and you are a lesser player and B: New players who don't understand the game like someone who has played for 1000+ hours will assume that anyone who is gold is just a cheater What people don't know is threat match making is actually a great idea....for a game with a population.....Once upon a time the Gold district was populated. Know what that means? Matchmaking was amazing. Bronze players can't join these districts which means the match making can very easily put together balanced matches. But since most of the time Silver is the only districts populated match making will try and put more enemies against gold players to try and make it fair. How ever this is totally unfair, as a person who has experience is going to be able to outplay all the bronze players they get thrown against. It's not totally their fault, they don't realize it's so important to not get shot in APB (which is why keeping mobile or in cover is so important which is why Waterfront is not a good map) So, there's nothing to improve about the matchmaking system, but what can be improved is the pool from which this matchmaking system is taking from. This is what Matt had planned (which will be soon tm) The new plan was to allow the matchmaking system to match make across all districts and not just the one you're sitting in. Another easy fix for something like fightclub would be to allow the system to mix and match cops and criminals so that way the games always remain fair, similar to how events are handled. Threat is not the problem with the matchmaking, it's the lack of population which comes down to lack of new content and some busted weapon balance choices that have been left unanswered for months if not years. With Easyanticheat making a return I guarantee you people are going to cry for BattleEye to come back because Easyanticheat is gonna "not banning cheaters" aka placebo, you think everyone is cheating instead of understanding the game so the anti-cheat must be bad (of course I hope I'm proved wrong) When it comes right down to it, if APB is not fun right now, then step back and take a break. This isn't the only game around. Take a break and follow the updates surrounding the game and jump back into it to test out said updates. There is no point in getting upset at something that is going to take time to troubleshoot and resolve.

A lot of people are complaining about this, and some have good points. But also the people who are complaining about it "being too late" clearly haven't taken a break from the game for more than a day. This is better news than what these ^ people want to hear: "we are shutting down apb" I am how ever curious about console players now if they will end up on the same engine as PC or if they are going to be an entirely different operation. Better performance is a great first step

Best of luck with it!

that sounds like work

Just make new apb

I was just making the joke to my friends who play FF14 "imagine your favorite mmo getting updates"

Deep

Yea haven't played in a while XD

scout sniper requires a very quick 2 shots for a kill. otherwise it's gonna be 3. I think the silenced scouts also aren't 100% effective until 80 or 90 meters.

Just make it?

I just want to know what "up coming period" means still

By "the coming period"... must of meant on a cosmic scale
