    I get this bug all the time.  I do Alt+Tab quite a bit because of messages in TeamSpeak and stuff since my friends like to send a lot of links.  It would be nice if it were fixed, but I understand if there's more important stuff to do.  Restarting the game fixes it, but that takes a while, even with it installed on an SSD (Old main menu when?)

    First off, this thread will answer one of your questions:

    -Weapon Rebalance: A couple of rebalances have already happened since LO took over and are still ongoing.  That's what the Weapon Prototype districts are for, gathering data.

     

    -Server stability:  They are in the process of a big server move right now.

     

    -New Districts:  G1 didn't say they were working on new districts, but LO said that they were going to at some point way back when the first took over.

     

    -Better Anti-Cheat:  As far as I can tell EAC is working pretty well.  I very rarely see people who seem sketchy anymore.

     

    -They've also talked about the new contacts and how they are coming with the engine upgrade.

     

     

    The game as a whole (besides population) I feel is in a much better state than when G1 was in charge.  We've gotten a new trading system which pretty much nearly eliminated scamming unless you're really stupid.  We have actual DDoS protection now so attacks don't even affect the gameplay anymore.  Remember towards the end of G1?  Daily DDoS attacks made the game pretty much unplayable during prime time.  No more FairFight.  Just to name a few things.

    Great "nerf" guys :D, all you did was revert the changes back to the 2017 stats, yet again you guys put the community through some unnecessary bullshoot like you like to do :).

     After extensive community feedback, it was pretty clear that a vast majority thought that shotguns were more balanced back before we made our first round of changes in the summer of 2018.

    A lot of us have been asking for this for a long time.

    Ok so it's kinda weird.  My connection isn't totally consistent, and it varies from day to day since this move.  Some days I get 80ms, and some days I get 33.  The weird thing is that one hop my ISP has ADDS 50 ms, and that hop is here in Pennsylvania.  How is my connection to your server in Los Angeles better than my connection to my poorly routed ISP?  (Zito Media is the ISP)

    well its not really that much of a flop since its still here after what 10 years almost now. many'a'big MMOs have disappeared after being around for much less time.

    It was a flop initially.  It was originally released by Realtime Worlds, who went bankrupt because of this game, and shut down only 2 months after release.  It was a full priced retail game.  It's only surviving now in its 2nd incarnation as a free game.

    How is it insulting when somebody tells you to calm down and do something else in the meantime while the servers are offline? Sure i agree it's taking a long time, but let them do their thing in peace

    I think he means when people are just being a-holes on the forum and just basically say something along the lines of "Why even play APB anymore?  Just go play something else and let this game die", not related to the current situation of the servers being down or getting mad at the game and needing to calm down.

    By the way... Why is NA prioritized when EU stands for a clear majority of the playerbase?

    I'd imagine it's partially because Little Orbit is in NA.  Also I saw someone mention something about the server machines being stuck in customs.  So I'd imagine it's due to customs snagging the servers when LO shipped them over to the EU.  Just a guess.

     

    OK den, Lixil ninja'd me 😛

    I guess the majority of the population waited for so long we got used to waiting, it grew on us. What we are going to do once the Engine Upgrade is out and there's nothing more left to wait for? Imagine having no more reason to create threads like this. We'll just end up with the Engine Upgrade but also with an inner feeling of emptiness. 

    Then we can wait for the updates that truly improve the game 🙂  Remember that the Engine Upgrade is just the foundation for what needs to be done.

    Yes, they are ready to return everything.

    Woah hold up a second there. Just my opinion but you shouldn't have him send the weapons back just yet.  If they are sitting in your mail and you don't retrieve them from your mail within 30 days then the guns go bye-bye.  Found that out from mailing a gun to a different character on the same account.  So if you don't get back into your account within 30 days then those guns are gone.  So don't have him send them back unless you know for sure that your issue is going to be fixed and that you're going to be able to log in within 30 days.

    I figure this would be a good way to deal with a mod that has been a frequent complaint among players ever since it was added.  This would make it so that you have to be in your car to trigger it, and so you have to actually aim where you want it to blow up.

     

    "Ooh but 'good' players don't use remote det so it's not a problem"  "If you're good then you won't ever get killed by it"  These have been common arguments to keep Remote Det, but it's kinda hard to avoid getting killed by it when someone comes barreling in with Explosives III, gets out and immediately starts firing, and triggers it when they know they're going to die just to get that easy definite kill.  The delay before the explosion is just too short to get away from and on top of that the alarm doesn't always play before the car explodes.  For whatever reason, Remote Det also has an insanely short 1 second long cooldown timer.  Meteor has a reasonable 90 second cooldown timer.

     

    For those who don't know, Meteor is the mod on the Vegas Firebomb that acts like a combination of Brick and Remote Det that when triggered, causes the car to accelerate and explode on impact with any solid surface or vehicle.  There have been some complaints with Meteor for not functioning properly but I believe the main problem is that the mod can be deactivated after being triggered by pressing Shift.  So basically if you leave the car and immediately sprint it'll deactivate.  If it were just made so that the mod could not be deactivated once triggered, then I think it would be fixed.

    I never really commit myself to quitting a game, I just play what I'm having fun with.  If I stop having fun with it then I stop playing.  It usually comes down to me just needing a short break so if I stop with any game it's usually just for a few days.  APB barely ever fails to entertain me though, so sometimes I'll just take a few day break from missions specifically and just drive around and just enjoy that or watching other people's shenanigans in mission districts.  I'd say the day I fully quit APB for good is the day it shuts down for the final time, but even then APB's content will live on in other ways for me since pretty much all my VRChat content is APB related.
