I don't think they are clueless, but they are just making the same exact mistakes that G1 did. Even if they are more caring about the players, they are still making the wrong choices for the game. The only reasonable action to do would be to admit the game has made its time already, take the good things of it, and translate it into the next APB game. it's a complete waste of time and resources to try repairing something that is obsolete and, lets be honest, only going to get worse and worse as time passes.

I think it would be amazing if civilians were dressed with the contest made costumes from all partecipants. Of course not doable today, but maybe, in a future where APB isn't anymore that badly optimized...

I would like to know how do they decide winners in general instead, since it is the second event where the "winners" are weirdly outclasses by other submissions. Favoritism?

I thought "playing the videogame" was actually a thing. I must have missed the point where "owning unique items" is the only worth aspect of APB...

Oh well. Who cares if they are on armas? The real point is that you got them for free. Still much better to say "I won these playing a special event" rather than "I bought it with mom's credit card". Btw, when are we getting the asilum glow skin? I miss that one

Aren't there way more OP guns and methods that require way more attention than the rare stabba players?

Step 1: everyone who kills you is cheating and everyone you kill is a noob step 2: stop bothering about other players and just enjoy the game while it lasts

I would argue against that. Easy and marketable isn't enough of a reason to do something in the game. Otherwise next request is "Please let players change faction anytime", since it is quite the same of gender changing, and it would completely break the basic ground of this game.

Isn't the event literally a "colored costume weared by guy/girl" thing?

"I have spent a ton of money on my car racing game, but after 5 years I decided I like more planes. The devs should add an option to allow me to change all my cars to plane equivalents because I don't want to lose my time and money." Thats how silly you sound. The game does not have a gender swap option because it is not necessary. You spent a lot of money and time for that character? Good. It remains on that character. If you want to play a different character, make a new one and start over. Thats the point of playing. And apart from whatever arguement you want to bring up, like "other games that have nothing to do with APB have such option", the devs are literally unable to do it. The conversion process is way too complex and easy to just create bugs, and you don't want that. Just look how easily the game breaks every time they "fix" something in the world.

Here is my submission! Completely non-premium, all items are free unlockables too (since I feel like using marketplace items isn't fair in a free contest) EDIT: I realized now the shoes aren't unloackables, but I got them for free in the past with an event joker box... does it count anyway?

BTW, why does the "Yellow" code looks like green instead?

May I ask why it wouldn't be possible to simple provide a free 1-day or 2-day premium code to be redeemed by anybody during the event period? Such as the old famous "WELCOMETOSANPARO" code that gave to any player a 24h premium when redeemed, valid only once. Having to sign up as a partecipant to be manually added the premium time sounds like an unnecessarily complex approach..

Yay for a contest which favours the Premium players!

Of course, as an enf, my favourite car is the best one ever: the Calabria. Nothing like running that thing customized to look alike the default crim car. People ignore it near objectives, and it turns so quickly running over enemies is a breeze. For the weapon, all of them. I like variety and I keep switching around in my locker just for fun, regardless of winning or losing. Though I generally stick with the STAR due to being an amazing all arounder.

In the time it is taking for all that to be "fixed" since G1 promises of the engine upgrade, the community could have already created a new better APB 2.0 with stable servers and large playerbase if only they were given the freedom to.

Wow, I read these numbers and think: "who the hell even submits all these tickets when the game population is dead?" Sorry but 70k tickets in a game that has maybe 3k active players in total sounds like a joke. Not even if everyone sent a ticket per day you would get to that claimed total.

For as much as I understand and feel sorry about breast cancer (I wish the best of lucks @Darkzero3802 ), I don't think requesting to sell event specific weapons for such reasons would be any good. The game community is way too small, and probably LO doesn't have spare resources to donate for the cause, when there are way more important factors about a business model that (lets be honest) is in a constant decline yet to have any safe future. Also, isn't breast cancer the one which actually does not need extra funds due to being overly advertised everywhere already? I'm quite sure there are way more dangerous types with a much higher death-rate that nobody seems to care about.

I used to run the game on a laptop in windowed mode at a stable 70-90 fps and it still looked better than any of that. The heck of drivers/settings are you using to always complaina bout stutters? I know the game is far from being any optimized, and on my full rig I'm not getting even close to the 400fps it should run at, but still, even with everything maxed I get a decent smooth gameplay...

I don't see how it would be a protection at all since if somebody stole your account they would transfer everything with the marketplace at 1$ anyway. The delay has no point other than making some weapon trades annoying.

I'm amazed by how bad are the graphics people can even accept to play with

I feel like the idea of ammo management would have worked only in the old gameplay of the original APB. The current game state is too fast paced to allow wasted time into purchasing ammo manually. While it could be a neat feature out of missions, during missions it is just an absurd penalization. Also, it's not the ammo buy mechanic to be clunky. The whole inventory management is, which makes even the most easy action (like weapon changing) a whole world of pain.

hitreg issue? You mean we have played for years with a ghohst bug that now might change completely the feel of the game?

Am I really the only one who simply filters the marketplace by price and buys the cheapest option for the items I need?

Soo... just curious, how do all changes affect the standard STAR+FBW loadout? Considering that new players will mostly stick to the only free permanent weapons they have, I suppose it's a priority of LO to keep those two weapons relevant in most situations. In fact, other than the NTEC being exageratedly good, the STAR used to be a very good jack-of-all-trades, that didn't really shine on specific spots but did play well in most situations. But with all this "balance", does it remain good or did LO unconsciously ruin one of the few remaining basic pillars of the game?
