    This was like reading the intro sequence to star wars

    Yea there are a lot of fundamental issues with everything in this game. The only thing that aged well is the customization, it is still by far the most in-depth and lets me make the characters I WANT to make. Games these days have such terrible face models where no one is allowed to look hot or handsome because it will offend someone im sure.

    Missions I hard agree on, none of them are fun. They attempted to expand the mission roster but the mission types are all the same and they're all terribly designed. I think a HUGE stepping stone for this game would be to start over from scratch a lot of this game's systems when it comes to combat. I think everyone agrees that VIP is the WORST mission your sorry butt could get stuck doing. If your team is newer and your opposing are veterans you can count on your VIP getting rushed by them in a VEGAS until the game is done with. The runner up for worst mission would have to be the ones where you take the item to your base and defend it. God forbid that it's a heavy objective because it will be taking you 3 years to get it anywhere and once you loose momentum the game is over before that last objective started. There are countless other examples but missions are more or less Go here -> Do task -> Go here -> Do task - Go here -> Do task -> alright now for a 7 minute deathmatch. Can we just skip all that intro garbage and just go to the mission's finale? It just feels like such a waste of time to struggle over breaking into a car for 4 minutes getting absolutely slaughtered to have to deliver the car only to do a similar objective for 6 minutes. Missions should be short and chaotic, Have 1-3 objects per dispatch and have like 5 vs 5 player minimum. This would be FAR more fun than the constant 2v2, 2v3, and 3v3 the matchmaking CONSTANTLY puts you in. 

    I personally hate this game's modification system. There is a clear meta for certain things and a lot of the struggle with balancing this game stems from these mods. Imagine if all the guns in the game had no mod slots. Think about how easy it would be to balance them all. Because right now you more or less have to ruin the base gun because people put HS3 and IR3 on it, or CJ3 and RS3. Then there are character mods and just about everyone runs Clotting agent three or you're just at a disadvantage. I've been running 2 as of late and have been liking it.

    So my proposed solution would be to remove mod tiers, example: Take CJ1, CJ2, CJ3 and replace them all with just 1 mod: Cooling Jacket 
    This would allow for LO to instead of having to screw with every gun in the game to try and balance it to only have to worry about the handful of mods that someone COULD put on the gun. I just feel like this would be the best compromise of keeping mods in the game while also sliming it down to be more coherent. Then when something like this is done go back and make the base weapons stronger and have these mods be a tool for players to *nudge* a weapon in a direction of their choosing VS making it a MUST to have these mods on the gun.

    Next progression in the game is also not amazing. I think the idea is there, that you gain trust/respect from contacts by doing missions for them which in turn they give you better gear. But this style of leveling is only suitable for a game that is PVE focused. Which APB has none of ATM outside of ram raiding. I think a compromise here would be to change what contacts give as rewards. The whole idea behind leveling is that when you do hit that max rank your character should look the best they can or at least have the tools to do that. So I would remove any mods, and guns from contacts and instead pump them up more with "gear" like clothing, cars, and character cosmetics like new hairs, makeup tattoos, and beards. Then have combat related stuff be tied to an account bound check list like the one that's already in game (but is currently character bound).

    Now all of what im thinking of needs to be woven together by a dev team that can weave all these changes together, and I know that some things are more important than others. Content being one of them and stability fixes is the other. But these are the things that I hope to see completely overhauled soon(tm)

    I am having terrible trouble with the game as soon as i engage with somebody. Some players its really really bad, others not so much. As soon as my aim is on a player and it goes red,i completely lag out. I manage some shots but ultimately i completely lag, then ragdoll. The rest of the game is smooth as a cucumber. I have my graphic settings right down but still having this issue. Its now become unplayable. Sniper is impossible to use, again nice and smooth but as soon as i land on target, stutter and i jump off the target.

    try apb advanced launcher.

    100% the case. Most of the remaining playerbase is golds, or silvers that dethreat from golds. Once in a blue moon will i see anyone genuinely silver or bronze.

    As an SPCT, you don't know much about the current APB pop.

    spcts are washed players that hold no weight or mean anything at all. Golds make up the only population lmaooooo. Like a new player will touch this game that is gonna shut down soon. spcts shouldn't even be a thing tbh

    Either merge, or offer free character transfers. What few left play on Jericho shouldn't have to suffer just because Little Orbit is incapable of keeping their promises about the engine upgrade.

    What's this, a person with a brain???? Rare thing to find in the Apb community.

    I checked 3 times during these missions to see if I have chosen bronze district correctly. Why gold threat players with insanse skill play on bronze district? Why they keep dethreating and play on bronze even though they are good enough for silver district? What is the purpose of completely discourage new players for hanging out more than 10 minutes in this game? What is the mindset of these players? Really curious.

    This.

    I think with this "fix" you'd probably see 1-2 more active bronze districts from all the new or less skilled players actually having a fair fight instead of constantly facing golds who de-threated. 

    I was watching a bronze streamer before who just started playing, and was actually liking the game. He, and two bronzes got opposed against 2 max rank golds.

     

    Somehow they managed to win most of the stages, until the gold players decided to carsurf on a vegas 4x4 with Volcano's. This streamer had a stock ALIG at best and had to do with the slow stock cars in the game.

     

    His next mission he faced them again, and they got rolled. Next mission, facing them again. How long do you think he decided to stay on APB? 

    This is why the game died, New players never get to thrive because they get people who don't wanna lose, So they stomp new players and feel good about themselves. When the game had more players all they had to do was threat lock a district. A player in bronze goes silver, He is put into the silver district and if he can't handle it he simply loses silver. But no they allowed trash can veterans of the game to stomp a poor trainee with an ogre to death until they moved on to better games.

    This I can agree with.

     

    While the range of OCA was reduced, it gained accuracy and rate of fire. It also gains 20% more accuracy from crouching now but you won't need it with how quickly it can kill Players.

     

    If OCA's range is too short for you try the 'Whisper' variant. It deals full-damage up to 30 meters. The weapon is on a tier of its own and is objectively more cheesy than the previous PMG... the fact that they didn't buff weapons alongside the OCA is baffling.. an all-around buff would've been nice especially to non-meta weapons but that's a whole discussion on its own. You got your answer

    you should be a spct instead of frosti looool

    This game hasnt changed since 2014. And when a change was attempted in the form of Riot everyone said no keep it exactly as is unchanged. What makes anyone think there will be any change after 8 yrs?

    I dont know why people keep holding on to this game tbh

    First of all i'd like to say, props on focussing all resources towards the Engine update, but stuff needs to happen.

     

    It's always the same cycle right now         Login > See the same people > People get gold > People curvestomp noobies > Dethreat & Repeat.

     

    (I won't name and shame) <Although i dont see why it's such a problem as i feel like specific people should be ashamed>

     

    Either way, there are tons of ''Fake golds'' playing in bronze, it's not just once, it's every single day. Every day the same people who curvestomp everyone because they can't play silver.

     

    It's just sad that nothing can be done to this.

    It's just sad we as a community do not shame these people for behaving like this, same as known cheaters but that's a sensitive topic around here.

     

    How hard is it to implement (for now) a system that would;

    Send these people the fuck over to silver/gold district upon reaching gold threat?

     

    I know the current threat system is a joke, gold is easily achieve-able

    But it's the same dethreaters / outskilled for the district type of people.

     

    Something has to change.

     

    As a long time fan and returning player after 2 years, it took me a week. 7 days to call it quits yet again because of this unplayable garbage in districts, asylum/baylan cheaters and dethreaters.

     

    It's sad.

    We're seeing the end of APB, At this point we're waiting for the shut down announcement

    I found this video while pursuing the internet. I like how it shows some common problems new and experienced APB players have. Just an overall break down video.

    I'm still putting some blame on APB of course. As (while I don't care about valorant, csgo, ect) I do know that in APB everything is tied to servers: Leaning, Driving, shooting, shoulder switching, objective moving. You name it.

    But it's alarming to see the effect latency alone has on Hit Reg alone. This video alone showed me the advantage those have who play with either the lowest possible graphics or configs that boost performance in some way.

    As a free game, APB can be downloaded and tried on anything as long as it runs a compatible operating system.

    I guess the moral of the story is...before you go hackusating/blaming hitreg/any other nonsense. Take a look at your computer and ask this question: Should I really play apb if I can only get 24fps on a 60hz non-freesync/gsync monitor?

    No game just bad, get better gaming chair

    They don't know who is cheating.

    They can't see who is cheating.

    They can't detect who is cheating.

    ... unless it's a public cheat that anyone can get.

    Reporting anything, in any way, is pointless.

     

    But pointing it out on the forums will lead to people letting you know all the things you are doing wrong by posting about it.

     

    Isn't that lovely?

     

     

     

    My question is, Why does it seem lower tier players always complain about cheats?

    As a developer, providing a previously paid service for free definitely does cost you. It is revenue that you are no longer receiving. You want to hope that your other sources of revenue can sustain you before you make such a move.

    Name one person who pays for premium monthly or what ever option they chose?

    Hard disagree with this one.

     

    Last weapon balancing along with the switch back to BE from EAC is what killed the population and dropped it to new lows even for APB. After LO's previous few changes the meta had become so stale and so horrible you couldn't even play the game unless you were running JG/PMG 24/7. This was the right step and in fact it should've happened months ago. They just killed a bunch of weapons and still allowed cheesy guns and tactics to thrive and we're finally getting out of that period. In fact, they need to make more changes based on feedback from this upcoming patch and change more guns as well.

     

    Also hard disagree because they've changed 1 or 2 at a time and it goes horribly wrong. The only right way to balance weapons in APB is in categories and bigger batches. When you rebalance a gun, you need to take all other guns in the category into consideration like they finally did now. For example, last time they nerfed N-TEC and OCA and then FAR and PMG became dominant because they didn't take those into consideration at all. This is finally the right way to do things.

    I would've just kept the same weapon balance, like it was before LO took over i never had a problem with it
