    emotions on comments

    please add two emotional signs and for many reasons .
  6. Communication, or lack thereof. There are so many people with great ideas, or good reasons to not like an idea, that were effectively ignored. Game changes were implemented that nobody wanted, and game changes everyone desperately wants were never even talked about by any of the red-names. Performance. If you had average or worse computers/internet, little hiccups would occur all the time. If it were a coop game that's fine, but when you're about to make a game-deciding kill and your client decides to freeze for a split second, you can't help but feel pretty pissed off. Open world isn't fun. This is a big draw for new players, who are interested in GTA-esque free roam fun times. Alas, APB is not as similar to GTA as people who have never played it expect, and they find out there are barely any open world activities with over 10 minutes of content to them, and the only one that does is faction limited and nothing but a grind for cash. Matchmaking, population, and mission fairness overall. Basically, missions were often skewed towards one team. Way, way too often. This is a very effective way of making a game not fun at all. Population is lumped in this category because without enough players to choose from, the matchmaker is going to struggle. However, this was further limited by the fact that matchmaking was per instance, only offering up to 45 people per faction. This always made it difficult for the game to make evenly matched games, even before the addition of... District/Threat segregation. Worst update in the history of APB, as far as I'm concerned. This update resulted in rewarding dethreating too much, so many more players participated in it. With the rampant dethreating, the threat accuracy of players who didn't dethreat was also rendered inaccurate, because they fought players with lower threat too often, not to mention the games they won because enemies forfeit. This further messed up matchmaking, resulting in the chaotic mess it was towards the end of my time playing APB. But the real game-breaker, from my experience playing this game for so many years, and having an active role in the community (SPCM)... The players. First and foremost, the playerbase of APB is not newbie friendly at all. The community constantly drove new players away. And without new players, population does nothing but decline. Which, of course, is literally what people are talking about when they say a game is dying. People here and there would help out new players, but often they were left to fend for themselves. APB is actually a very hard game - it requires an immense amount of map knowledge, reaction time, situational awareness, and positioning skills to stay on top. So even if everything else was all well and good, the fact that so few people were willing to play with, help, and mentor new players was a pretty big issue. But it gets worse. Not only do people not want to help new players, they actively drive them away. Dethreaters play the game just to relentlessly destroy new players. And when this happens there's a large amount of toxicity about it ("you fucking suck" etc). You might think if they're naturally skilled enough or put in some effort they can get out of the newbie environment, but because of threat segregation thre's two newbie stages. Once you reach a threat level that kicks you out of your home and into the realm of what I call "superfreaks" (those 10,000 hour golds everyone thinks is hacking), suddenly you feel like you're the worst player in the world again. And then those players stomp them relentlessly, and often with even more toxicity than the non-top-tier players. Which is especially fucked up, since you'd think people who have invested 10,000 hours and probably thousands of dollars would want new players to stick around and improve so the game doesn't die and they eventually get some new competition. Then there's the whole "hacker" atmosphere. This comes down to the players too, but honestly not in the way you expect. Yes cheating exists, and yes it's been a massive problem in the past. But the truth is APB doesn't face anywhere near as much cheaters as it once did, during the dark era, but everyone still thinks it does. Imagine starting playing a new shooter game, and every now and again you run into a player who seems like he's outright psychic, and kills you faster than you think is possible in the game. Maybe, if you're reasonable, you'll think you just don't know anything about the game. But what if you see the chat window filled with nothing but "hackusations"? You don't know any better. You might think the game is full of cheaters, to the very brim. The truth is, there was a pivotal point in APB where there weren't quite so many cheaters, but the game was still being damaged by the belief that there was. A new player joins APB, and gets absolutely stomped by a player that has thousands of hours, knows the map like the back of his hand, and has all the little nuances of aiming and positioning down. This player is just practiced, and has a massive amount of APB-specific skill over this player. However, the new player believes that he's a cheater, because he believes the game is full of cheaters. This happens dozens more times. Eventually the guy gets sick of it, and one of two things happens - either he never plays missions (or APB) again, or he goes and downloads a cheat program. Because the community is so sure everyone is cheating, more people will cheat because it "evens the playing field". Hackusating people is literally creating more hackers. It's a stupid vicious cycle that nobody seems to comprehend. But more than that, hackusating so repeatedly is making people leave the game, thinking there's more cheaters than there are. But the truth is, APB is hard, and there's usually just a giant skill gap (and/or luck, if we're being honest here lol). But people don't see that. APB is my all-time favourite game, and I've met some wonderful people in there. But the truth is, far too many of the mission players - the publicly vocal ones anyway - are terrible people, who have done probably irreversible damage to such an amazing game. I'm not saying most people in the game are terrible people, I don't have the statistics - but there's enough of them, and they're loud enough, to make it look like most of the player-base are all jackasses and morons. p.s. I am not the author of the text . reddit.com . Am I the only one that hates gold players? I started playing again after six months to see if this game has gotten better and I’m in the silver class and so I log into the silver servers, but yet every time I get it a match I always get paired with a gold plus I’m ALWAYS facing a gold, and all of them a equipped to the brink with hi-leveled guns and mods. And so either I lose or I get kicked by the group’s leader (who most of the time, is also too a gold rank) because, let’s face it the chances of me killing a gold is pretty much a 1 in 5 chance and the leader wants to win so badly he’ll kick the weakest member. I.E: me and I hate to admit to this but I’ve too joined the bronze server just to have a simple match with a chance to win, but lo and behold there are golds there too! I don’t know about you guys but they need to make a better penalizations for golds on lower servers rather than the whole “less rewards” imo their rank itself should go down if they keep killing lower ranks Heck a handicap mod/system would be nice too p.s.

  7. that is Reflex Sight doesn't affect the shotgun ?
  8. these make a bit of difference with different personal settings, you can turn into the sea . it's all very personal . your experience , settings .... bla bla bla . Cookie tell us how you used to shoot a gun ? what is dpi ? what are the main pitfalls in the settings ?
  9. factions must be balanced . in 2015, the developers Announced that the criminals will be Stabba . there are various types of signal FLASHING beacons . Signal flashing beacons and beams are intended for giving a flashing light signal of operational services and services of national economic appointment. (orange, blue, red, white-moon ).

    Stay fresh APB

    putting a few containers in , that's not the change I'd like to see .
  11. chat districtics are like a trash can . I don't see the point in keeping it open .
  12. it seems to me that not exactly understand the meaning . the game is a team , a society . there are rules , there are punitive organs . People are WEAK to resist temptation . WE NEED STRONG MEASURES . if the "gold" players have the opportunity to Troll the silver arena, they will sooner or later take advantage of it . if the TLv player has the opportunity to skip training then in 99% he will miss it .
  13. personal choice . two completely different shotguns . NFAS you can buy from contacts , DOW ?
  14. I think it's secondary weapon is a good help for new players . don't touch .
  15. one of the participants official team SPCT had a ban in a fair fight . is NO longer WORTHY ? he was causing trouble for other players . break the rules. The RESULT ?
