I don't think it's a matter of should we merge, but whether. Is it a good idea with the spaghetti code current engine. Made a thread a bit back asking why not merge, and most responded saying there were a lot of technical problems with past merges.

i worked way too hard on my account to have it wiped no thx

(If true) This + the naming situation makes not having the servers merge makes sense.

This is the best answer so far. I'd like to argue though, that being able to play on a populated server is a much better solution than not being able too because literally 0 players are on waterfront. A trade off, which I guess they should just do away (if possible rn) with the quick district join menu. Can't if NA has no pop, so just playing other games atm. Been super into Cyberpunk and Darksouls as of recent. Wouldn't mind playing EU cause I already have 2 characters there. But not exactly itching to restart the grind after maxing my crim and enforcer XD. Plus all my good stuff is on NA so kinda stuck there. Plus Plus I get up super late in the day so most people have already gotten off EU. I'm assuming you mean with the naming situation and not merging in general. As I wouldn't call merging EU with NA "monumental" but tackling how names work would be. I'm well aware, i'd probably be more willing to play on EU but like I said, all my good stuff that I grinded for is on NA. It's not exactly exciting to go: OH BOY! HERE WE GO AGAIN THE GRIND TO 195! Cause let's be honest, once you taste the 195 life it's hard to go back XD. Wasn't making the thread to complain but more as a, why can't they? The naming system honestly makes the most sense and isn't something I ever considered when thinking about merging.

When looking for a district to join, most people know that you have to go to the advanced tab in order to find a populated server. When looking at this list you can see that the servers are separated by location (generally west and east) So with this in mind, why not merge both US and EU and separate the servers like: US East US West EU East EU West Or something similar? What are the technical issues that block this from happening? We keep getting told that the new engine will allow everyone to play with everyone and that's fine and dandy. But what about server merges in the past? I understand to cut server cost is part of it. But doesn't it seem wiser (on a population stance) to do what I mentioned above? Again what would be the issues with merging? Are they choosing not to do it because they believe they can get the engine out before they have to merge? It is becoming more and more clear that the version of Unreal APB runs on isn't as black and white as people think. So it would make sense if they don't want to touch it in fear of breaking something completely random. Then with that said, what was broken with server merges in the past? If anything was broken?

Then why do I have to put in my 2fa code Everytime I log into apb?

What do you want us to do about it?

Hi, a friendly comment as you continue scrolling. Have a nice day.

Soon™

yea sure ill sign it

Don't support it, but I haven't seen anything like this when I get on...unless it's a repeat person it might be a throw away account trying to speed run getting banned.

are you just insulting me to insult? I am gold... you missed the part where you laugh

Gold's looking at the bronze and silvers having fun for once

My prediction: Day 1-3/5 OH WOW LOOK HOW BALANCED THE GAME IS, MAN EVERYTHING IS WORKING SO WELL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CATAGORIES Day 6-∞ Oh boy here we go again another *insert gun* spamming looser who *insert meta movement*

im not scared of a virus. Just don't like putting stuff into my game that could risk my account (I put a lot of $ and effort into it and rather not loose it for any reason) wonder why then why not include said tweaks as apart of the available ones? Grenade smoke is the biggest to me. So many times a nade will explode in my face and due to the smoke it makes it hard to track enemies in it. Honestly the stage spoilers isn't that bad. Just the grenade smoke one

Cause you know what to expect in the next stage, you know if it's better to give up or just to keep fighting, you can prepare for the finale which is generally the most important part of the mission. vs not knowing what to expect unless you memorized each mission. I don't ever remember flaws being on there, unless it was added after day 1 and removed since as I don't use configs ( I did try the hold to crouch but it fucked me up more than not using it ) Got a LO approved link?

oh god

Yes Prove me wrong, as far as I know hold to crouch, and ragdoll remove are 2/3 of the approved config edits

unapproved configs are cheating...plain and simple. Anything that gives you an advantage that another player doesn't have: Remove Grenade smoke and Objective spoilers have to be the biggest offenders. LO should just make obj spoilers the default...no one gives a shit about how you put up porn on a billboard and it cause a traffic jam somewhere.

I'd personally would like it if it was halfed, or if you get team killed the damage should be reversed like siege

first problem, Kev3 makes you slow and say you lost 80% of your health in a 1v1 you have to wait much longer than someone who was playing Ca3 who would have already started regening Shooting and moving isn't obvious when it comes to lag, but if driving feels very floaty is a good way to tell if your ping is high or type /fps into the console to see ping, if you're getting anything more than 80ms I would stop trusting your shots. Ca3 lets you move much faster, a lot of silvers don't know this about APB but strafing is meta. You don't strafe you die, just how it is. I wish it wasn't this way. The better you move in APB the better you do. A kill cam would show how little they moved before death compared to whom ever they are facing.

Cause it will show you how easy you are to track with kev3 and how much of a sitting duck it makes you and your nhvr bs could be blamed on bad server connection/bad netcode that is apb 1.2

Except 1 kills and gets you back into the flight quicker while the other holds you hostage P.s. You're a Inappropriate language removed. - Azukii if you use percs and shotguns too

Sanity and morals go in the drain once you hit lvl 2 in apb silly goose
