    they sold the ip which means they no longer own apb reloaded or any of its assets afaik, they retain development/creative control over the game apb reloaded specifically but because unit game owns the ip i'd assume they have the final say in any potential change of ownership

     

    of course i could be wrong, but even if orbit can sell their creative control over apb reloaded what kind of company would want to buy a game that they don't own and can't expand beyond?

    They kept the rights to APB Reloaded and can do whatever they want with it, they just can't make new stuff under the APB brand. Did you even read the post?

    I perfectly predicted that all of this would happen as soon as we heard about EAC's departure. I don't really see any other options on the table either and I expect the game to only plummet down more and more. It doesn't matter how many patches they release or what engine the game goes on, how good it looks or how balanced and competitive it becomes. If the cheater issue is as bad as this, APB won't go anywhere. This is the main issue of the game again, regardless of what people want to think.

     

    APB's worst period was during the last months of FairFight when the population was at its all-time lowest (for that time) and it was caused by the blatant misuse of FairFight for manual banning anyone the old devs didn't like and also not banning actual cheaters for years on end. It was the last few months before LO announced their acquisition of G1 and APB. Now we aren't really getting many (if any) false positives because LO aren't malicious and don't seem to abuse it but a lot of actual cheaters are not being banned due to Battleye's inability to detect anything beyond free outdated cheats and some cheats that are just being tested until they become undetected on new throwaway APB accounts. Obviously, this is subpar and definitely useless in a game like APB where cheaters are in the top 3 biggest problems that the game has ever faced. Things are looking pretty dreadful.

    hahahaha how many accounts did you have again?

    @Flaws is a good player, sometimes a little tryhard, but he's a good one, it's not a matter of skill.

     

    The right answer it's just you always cant have reason, that's it for all, him, me, everybody.

     

    It will be nice see some (real) BUFF sometimes, not just a nerf for resolving the matter of balancing weapons..

     

    I mean for "real",  Last time LO buffed some (garbage) weapons, that didnt change or move up at all them from trash tier to, at least, kinda usable tier.

    Better to have all weapons be shit and rng than buff them to be on par with eachother. Wouldnt be apb otherwise ))

    Yeah true but it would make it harder for the 8 man group to get a mission as they'd need a big team to go against. Assuming that the district is fully populated everyone else should be fine.

     

    The point I was making was to someone who replied to someone else who asked why only clans should be able to make groups of 8.

     

    For missions 8 is too big anyway. 4 is only too small when say 5 people log on and are up for missions and 1 person misses out. If 6 people want to do missions then 2 smaller groups of 3 should be fine or they just need to grow up a bit.

     

    It's like when I ask kids at school to get into groups of 3, 4 or 5 and some kids ask 'can we have a 6?' I tell them to just be 2 groups of 3 and sit near each other.

     

    Maybe there can be a mechanic to be linked to another group so when big teams are formed they always try to put friendly groups together.

    5 is alright for most people i guess, personally its almost impossible to get oppo in a 4 man group in the higher end of gold as is (unless ofc there is a similarly skilled group of 4 in the district, but playing the same people over and over gets boring). Regardless i think all of this will be obsolete once phasing is implented, we'll just have to suck it up till then.

    But how does being in a clan effect that?

     

    Also if their group size is too big for them to get a mission they need to wake up and choose to split into 2 smaller groups.

    The thing is, if you and your buddies take up say 8 slots for your 8 man group then its gonna affect matchmaking for everyone in the district.

    @Crusadeer - Might be a bit off topic, but if you do not mind my asking but what servers do you play on? Our clan plays on the EU servers and we regularly have games with more than 4 vs. 4 players being pitched against eachothers, so something like 4 vs. 4 is usually no problem (that most of the opposition is made up of "golds" and "fake silvers" (i.e. dethreaters) thesedays is another matter that seems to get worse each day - a topic that is also - sometimes heatedly - discussed in several threads on the forum).

    Playing on Citadel.

    Because matchmaking is already terrible for some as it is. The other day i waited 15-20 minutes in a full district to get a 2v2 vs 2 golds with a new player on my team. Don't think i've even played in a 4 man group for years since it takes forever to get opposed.

    Resetting your graphic settings too? Mhm.. that looks very strange, never happened to me, but i also have issues with the lasts patches, keeps installing Redist 2005 but it is alredy installed, and scanning files, seems like LO forgot to remove something from the launcher.

    Like in the past there was a "bug" that cause launcher to download and install everytime Directx and scannign files after it.

    Yeah i use the Advanced Launcher to have everything on minimal except characters, cars & guns pretty much but when i launched the game everything was on minimal.

    If the game crashes, it'll automatically create a repair_request which will force the launcher to scan when opened.

     

    If the game doesn't crash in the time since the last patch, it'll just redownload some of the changed files (not even all of them)

    Hmm IIRC i had just played the night before with no crashes and then the hotfix dropped and it scanned my entire game and reset my graphics options and that was it?

     

    Pretty annoying that a ~30mb patch ends up taking like 10 minutes because of the scanning :d

    Dividing guns in more categories (and this is something no one usually say), there are the guns that work for high ping players like are the ones with fast fire rate, and poor damage. Thats why youll see complaining about weapons not being usefull, its the ping playing against them and the incorrect weapon usage.

     

    And so on. Theres much to talk about weapons but this is something varely anyone understand nor even developers and thats why they mess everything non stop. Check your guns and check your enviroment, weapons are not meant to be balanced but work under specific circumstances.

     

    Understand that once for all please.

    And yes, i am not saying that the new guns they been releasing are not useless.

     

    I would extent but i know my advice will go to waste and im on phone.

     

    Understand please, this is the truest thing youll read here and multiple games.

    azk he is the north american player but the titan he is the french stars.

    The point of the tutorial is not getting better players. The point is reducing the amount of people leaving because they don't understand how the game works. 

    I know and my point is so many players are not willing to learn in the first place. Easier to just call the game p2w or cry about cheaters. There's still people that think ranks have anything to do with threat level..
