So you want to turn apb... into: Hate to break it to ya, but I can confirm this would be an unpopular opinion.

imagine having full districts

It will probably stick around like my brothers @$$ gas

Honestly im all for more relevant posts than minor updates, id rather wait months and get a post saying all the improvements than every week saying more or less the same. Just kinda seems like the whole posting at all disappeared so I was only wondering while being dramatic at the same time

I don't really play too much since I hit 255 on one of my characters. I love the overall idea of the game, but a combination of no new content past 255 + fighting the same people on NA is a drag. I don't claim that the engine is the savior of the game, but I do believe once they can push it out, they can start making really QOL tweaks. I do feel like weapon balance is great, but none of the guns are fun to play. They all feel weak and based off luck rather than skill. I whole heartedly believe in making the guns more accurate but increasing recoil would make combat much more engaging. Cause like I said the game is good, gun combat just leaves much to be desired now. Also my gf hates apb...but at the same time took pleasure in watching me play the christmas event, even more specifically the prototype sniper part.

If I have time to get on apb forums and work my job, why can't matt? Jokes aside It's comforting to know that they are just on break and not holding out on something

Do you have a link perhaps? I feel silly for missing it. Yea I really must have missed the stress test. Maybe I knew or didn't know it was the day before I tried the beta Well it's good to hear that I am wrong that only 10 people tried it XD

Hmm, could of sworn I did get on during the stress test. Must have missed it.

I was among the few that actually tried the recent beta, and have to say it has so much potential. I have never thought of it as the second coming. I more so think of it as once this upgrade happens then the real work can begin. The game just bores me at this point. Although more balanced none of the guns feel fun to play. Guess that's what you get for nerfing everything. A general buff to every gun could work I'm also not trying to say that they aren't working on it, just feels like it's a bad idea to keep us in the dark on the engine progress on the technical side is not a wise idea. But then again, if the next post actually tells us something to be excited about I suppose that would be worth waiting for. Like, having one mega post with every fix/feature rather than mini posts. Yea I only got on once for ~15min and was with only one other I think maybe a tried a second time and was alone. I meant by Matt himself. I know he did it before, talking about what people said about the beta and what they plan to tackle next. That's what I mean by 'not a single post'

The last post was on: December 1, 2020 I know we had a beta in between the above date and today's date. But It really is feeling like hope is lost. I for sure prefer (as much as I hate it) "another hard and frustrating week working on the engine" over nothing at all. Not even a single post on how the beta ran (I am well aware that less than 10 people actually tried it this time) Oh well, apb 2.1 soon™ I guess

I remember in one of the beta streams they talked about letting players get outside of the maps when not in missions

This would make mugging more viable but not on a low pop, cause in theory one could farm tickets in an empty server all day. But if the pop was higher, dirty JT could be a nice risk/reward addition. I once got the gold reward in fightclub without even trying Since LO is making JT more viable I would say giving us even more wouldn't be a good idea. They aren't that expensive to begin with. Remember APB is a Free 2 play online shooter, LO needs to make money some how. And imo they have taken the best steps towards monetizing this game.

It's a conspiracy

The dilemma is, that either experienced players are allowed in with noobs, and matchmaking kills the game. Or they remain separate and kill off the experienced players.

Do what we all have to do....wait https://will.io/apb/ Check here to see what the district pop is looking like Alternatively if you have that extra character slot available you can make a new character

I like to hop on the beta just to see what's new. But I usually end up alone in a district XD I would agree that something to earn would be a nice incentive, like earning a "beta tester" title would be nice. Or if anything, for the first week that 2.1 launches they should give us all something. Something rare and special for the first week of launch. Lets see if dreams come true.

Yes, excellent idea. Let us begin this new era of video games where we talk about our feelings in a 4v4 "death"match

imo, they balanced everything pretty good. There isn't a meta from what I can tell anymore.

Yea it downloads slow fo everyone. I would guess it has something to do with server allocation for the beta.

Well I hope everything works out, thx for the reply

Now, I do know they turned off the migrate live to beta for the recent tests. But my characters were out of date even before they turned it off. It just worries me a bit because I haven't seen any statements on the issue. Can anyone put my mind at ease? When 2.1 finally gets shipped, will all of my progress be up to date? Because im missing stuff I purchased (cars/kits/weapons) and stuff I grinded to unlock (not a massive grind but an example would be the devil wings). I just want to know if LO is well aware if this. Because before they turned off the character migrate (which I believe was the very first action district beta test) my only character that was infact up to date was one I purchased in between 2 different testing periods. Again, if they are aware it's an issue than obviously no worries. But if they aren't aware, my self and im sure there will be others will be submitting a lot of support tickets. Once again, if anyone can just put my mind at ease, it would be so greatly appreciated .

Imagine, a game with a super small community, with new devs who are trying their hardest to make the game into something great. And some salty 20 year old who played back in 2014 is trying to ruin the game and development for everyone. They must be the scum you scrape off you're boots after walking through a disease ridden swamp. Thanks Matt for informing the community about this as not informing would have had detrimental effects on how people view the game in it's all ready low moral state.

There’s a limit?

I only beg for clotting agent 3 cause i can hit level 40 before ill ever get 60k
