    there is one spreading downvotes.... 😞 

    Yeah, I wish they disabled reactions for this thread - 

     

    1. It's Matt/LO who is doing the choosing, so our opinions mean nothing.

    2. People have put a lot of work into their creations, every single one, just like the Christmas Sweater one, everyone is so creative and learning things in the designer takes time and effort, and shouldn't have that work greeting with anonymous dislikes, it's just mean. 

    3. We're limited to the amount of reactions and considering everyone's work here is just splendid, I'm maxing out before I can give enough hearts, so just want everyone to know that I love all your work, this is one of the best threads ever.

    Would adding a new map be a good idea? The old two maps Financial and Waterfront could be abandoned, players who would want to rank up could have a hard time. Maybe instead of adding a new complete map, they could instead add new places to the two existing maps

    This is a better idea - refresh what we've got rather than starting from scratch and causing even more split with the community. 

     

    Although, if they'd just let us level any contact in any district, that would solved any issues and we could have all the maps we could eat!

    ok here's my low-budget attempt - 

    6F9im8B.png

     

    Lil' Derpiter

    Include a small blurb about your character’s backstory (optional).

    Lillian "Lil" Derpiter always dreamed of becoming a Little Orbiter (astronaut) but mentally and physically she could never make the grade, and a tendency to endlessly prattle on to herself in the third person didn't help either. Instead Lil delved into the world of explosives and explosive accessories with ambitions of making into space on her own steam (or C4). Lil ended up as a dockworker in San Paro's Waterfront district under the careful gaze of the Praetorians. Making sure the various crates and pallets of explosives line up with Venus' orbit and endlessly discussing her rocket plans it is not hard to see why Lil would be one of the many reasons Ernst 'Mule' Templeton would prefer to be knee-deep in some sweaty jungle than spend another day in the warehouse with Lil's constant self-chatter.

     

    How do they fit onto the city of San Paro?

    With the expansion of the Joker Corporation and Joker Store, Lil saw her final chance to achieve her greatest creation - so she's given the Praetorians' ears a rest and helps distribute Joker Merchandise, saving up enough JTs to blast her way out of San Paro.

    Since RIOT seems to be a never returning dead feature in the game, would be great if they removed all the RIOT crap from social and replaced the contact with Matt. Overlooking the entire district 😄

     

    Why y'all acting like our boy Lawrence Holland in Social wasn't a lowkey version of Matt Scott?

    oh yes! im blind.. w8, hold on, its always been there and i still cant sell bought guns 4 jts...

    tbh I have nfi what you actually can sell. The tab has always been there, every contact seems to present itself like a standard RPG NPC, but despite all that - they don't wanna buy our trash.

     

    don't get me wrong this progressive rental system is leaps and bounds as far as QoL improvements with making weapon choices and should be great for making future purposes, but for those who made mistakes in the past - we just have them as reminders to spend more wisely.

    So. Much. Love. 

     

    Thank you for putting the Weapon Trials back in and giving us Free Trials! This is so awesome. Very cool LO.

    thats so great! would love to see the functionality of selling bought JS guns for the portion of Joker tickets spent and other armas weapons in the list! also it'd be cool to have all variants of opened slots avaliable: JT1/2/3

    Yes. This. I was hoping the last part of the Update alluded to being able to Sell the weapons. The Sell tab is right there in the screen shot! 

     

    The additions are great and I love that you've got more planned. But I'm guessing that for now the "re-buy JT weapons" thing means we can only delete JT guns so far, and I guess being able to Sell them and then re-buy them, might make that a bit exploitable, unless there is some code-fu that would make only the first selling redeem JTs and then subsequent selling would only yield % in-game money.

    25fps is 40ms between frames. Many players can shoot and see their shot register before you know you were even hit. That's a pretty big advantage. APB is also far from stable, so idk what you're getting at.

    I never said I was good at it. I have this weird super rare and totally obscure fetish where I don't play to win, or even, and brace yourselves - top the score board. I play to have fun and help my team.

     

    I'm sorry for the years of therapy y'all gonna need for reading what I just wrote, but I felt it was time I came out of my filthy closet and told everyone the truth. 

     

    But maybe that is why I loath 1v1 and 2v2 matches, maybe my FPS is so bad I need other players to distract the enemy long enough for me to get any kills - I play purely support roles in the game and yes pretty much lose every 1v1 fight but the way I see it is if I'm in a situation where the whole match or team is reliant on me winning a 1v1 with no support, then we've already lost and on the flip side if I've put myself in a situation where it's a 1v1 situation, well that's just my own stupid fault for not playing with the team. 

     

    TL:DR - you don't need high FPS to play or even enjoy APB. And what I originally said that yes APB has been far from stable in the past, but it appears to be more unstable now, or at least that is what I have been noticing. But from the responses I am guessing no one else notices this so I've got to keep dildoing my settings to work out the issue and get my rock solid MLG 100IQ RBG LED LGBTTQQIAAP 25FPS back.

    It might be shit, but at least it's consistently shit, I can learn to adapt to a consistent 25FPS and 350ms but when it jerks around all over the place, that's when it gets literally unplayable. 

     

    Matt himself said that in one of his many posts - If you've adapted to 100FPS or 10ms or both, a jump in any of those values is going to be more detrimental than just being constantly at low values, that's why someone going from 100FPS to 60FPS, to them it feels like shit, even though I can't even dream of 60FPS, so y'all look at 25FPS and think it's a slide show, when the key to enjoyment isn't the fancy numbers - it's the stability of those numbers that actually count. 

     

    Kids these days just can't seem to get their minds around that despite it happening right in front of them.

    Has anyone been getting FPS drops more recently? I used to get a good 25-30FPS but now it's all over the place from 8 to 45FPS. 

     

    Tried tweaking the settings but the drops just won't let up. I want my stable low FPS back.

    1. Display last kills on the screen after you die.

    I'd like to see something like this, or anything really, I think what happens when you die really needs some sort of revamp - atm it's some horrible buggy mess between the camera glitching out while it shows a blank nothingness where the killing player's name and gun should be, or the camera following some floating mess while some obnoxious theme blasts through the speakers.

    2. When you have to spawn I don't like that I am looking on scores and the games just close this tab everytime. In that moment I want to see scores, info on players and the game close me that tab because I have to spawn. I will like to see this change in the game.

    Ugh I hate this one, again while the aforementioned mess is going on it gives you just enough time to get bored and pull up the scoreboard and move the mouse near the player to find out WTF killed you but not enough time to actually click on the name and register what gear they had before the spawn window pops up and does it's fucking annoying "zoom-in-on-some-random-useless-area". And let's mention that this fucking annoying zoom-in-feature again kills the scoreboard when you frustratingly press tab for the second time to pull it up.

     

    And I know you can seemingly turn off this stupid zoom-in feature but it seems to reset every log in or match, either way I can't kill it, and while I'm complaining I'd rather it not select a spawn point at all and delay my spawn than give me some randomly generated one that's equally a determent to the team because, again thank to aforementioned mess, I'm now trying to pull up the scoreboard again again but of course interrupted by my character respawning 500m away from anything useful and then I'm stuck standing seemingly AFK at spawn while I finally get some peace and quiet and no more screen-stealing-bs happening so I can find out that yes the enemy was using a PMG, thanks. 

     

    And then I'm killed with the scoreboard up and the whole mess starts all over again.

     

    And please somehow fix those blurry weapon icons, like wtf is that about?

    im not sure there is a way to try the manic (among other guns) before buying, orbit really should have kept the 7 day lease option in the joker store

    Oh you're right - I thought they unbundled all the guns, but yeah no Manic for separate purchase on ARMAS = no trial, and I don't know enough about reskins to know which gun can be used in its place and I so wouldn't recommend spending the JTs to buy a 0 slot version.

    And yes, loyalty weapons DO EXPIRE. Last time I got my Euryale there was an expiration date, sadly can't find the screenshot and I'm really not going to spend money on the other account to get a weapon just to prove you a fact.

     

    And about the image...It's a f.cking meme, it doesn't have to make sense. It's....a a joke. Maybe you have heard about them.

     

    edit: talking about the codes, thought was really obvious....

     

    Oh, those rewards!

    Yes, they do expire and yes it doesn't make sense that they have an expiry date - I think I lost like 50 day Premium back in the day when G1 gave out sets of 10 Days, I didn't use them in time (due to reasons) and poof they gone!

     

    Those stupid forever-lost 10 day ones aside; I'm guessing they tried to do the right thing and place a maximum expiry date on them, but I totally agree that a lot of players who are banking those Premium Loyalty Rewards are having their timers tick closer and closer to expiry - since they're a special kind of reward, nah screw that, no rewards ever should have expiry dates - you're right, they're digital, it's not gold or oil or currency ffs, it doesn't depreciate/appreciate with time, although one could argue that some of LO's changes have devalued Premium a little, they still should not expire. 

     

    So let's take this opportunity to plug my wonderfully awesome 1 (or 3) Day Premium idea - let us break these huge mofos into bite-sized chunks so those """essential""" players can get some use out of them. Then there's fact that some players with these rewards haven't actually dropped their subscriptions either -so why not let us gift them, or trade them in for something else? 

     

    Either way, if you haven't guessed, watching a reward expire leaves a bad taste in one's mouth and shouldn't really happen at all. 

     

    Sorry about the down arrows you getting, looks like a few people like me misunderstood you. 

     

     

    EDIT: Looks like I missed the part where they don't actually expire (but then what about my lost 50 days? 😭) so ignore all the nerd rage over the expiry dates - but don't ignore the stuff where we can cut them up, trade, or cash rewards in.

    AFK demerit should reassign leadership imo.

     

    I also think that Backup should be allowed to be called by anyone in the team because my thoughts on backup is the more the merrier but some people seem to be aggressively against that.

     

    And while I'm triggering people - backup should be unlimited - turn one mission into a 40v40 fight club, yeah!

    Maybe not a vote system since that can be used in a negative way but letting individual players leave a mission that's in progress would be nice - but then come the update the game will load faster making alt-f4 a more viable option but again as said come update we'll hopefully have better matchmaking and phasing, so hopefully no need for that all.

     

    Yeah I agree surrender option would be too much of a band aid solution to what can be fixed via better means.

    I am not sure how APB's network works, but from personal experience it tries to compensate latency issues for lagging party too much. Imho if you have high latency, game shouldn't do anything to help you out, you shall live in the past server time and die before you will peak the corner to shoot as bullets of people with normal latency were registered first.

    I understand it's harsh critique towards people not fortunate enough due to their localisation or connection issues itself but you shouldn't optimise the game for people that are not meant to play it causing problems to entire server population.

    Kicking high-ping players only makes sense if there are low-ping options for those players. A game with only 2 server locations on two continents has no business arbitrarily determining who can and who can't play based on ping alone.

     

    I swear, kids these days thinking anything above 25ms is like playing in the stoneage. I have still been combat effective with pings of 300-500ms, and it's only when it gets truly north of that do you really start getting the "playing in the past" effect on you. It's just like framerate - you get used to what you have. Someone going from 25ms to 250ms will notice a difference, but if you're used to 250ms, you learn to play with it, yes you won't get to MLG status with 250ms but players expecting that level of play from everyone in a game like APB are the ones who need to be removed from the server.

    I jerk off TF2's Tutorial but only because I haven't played the CS:GO one, but AFAIK they are both good examples of a game adding a Tutorial well after its release, possibly peak popularity, and when a great deal of the game's population had already years and thousands of hours in experience - but they did it anyway. 

     

    Maybe it was an experiment? Trial by fire for some new employees? Or they had a bunch of interns who needed to blow some hours for that sweet industry experience? But we do know that if the devs want a real programming playground why not a nice sterile environment where the only enemies are ones who can't /report back?

    this is some "video games corrupt the youth" type of shit, they are probably just some edgy mutants trying to be funny, when it's just cringe and offensive.

    idk why the dislike - this is probably exactly the case and imo the whole issue with banning and vilifying symbols and ideologies and whatever - you'll always get 2edgy4me kids who want to trigger people or think they're being leleleltrolls by using these "bad symbols". 

     

    If people didn't overreact when they see a wonky cross or some squiggles, kids wouldn't use them just to see those overreactions. 

     

    That said a wonky cross is far more appealing attempt to troll players than what they could actually do to really hurt us in APB, so as long as it's against the rules, report away and trust the admins will take care of it in due process.
