I second this. Cuz it smells of bull feces to me.

... shit.

You forgot the most important stat. <10% of the community voted

Could we maybe find a way to only let my opp use car surfer? I need to pad my threat level.

I hate you guys for making me read so much.

I am not a very good friend.

The reality remains unchanged. The pop is at an all time low. And the poor new player experience is a big reason why. Saying "too bad" won't fix that.

Just going to quote myself in the hopes that this thread stays on topic.

Yes, their experience wasn't enjoyable enough to stay. This is the problem we are addressing in the hopes of keeping the game from shutting down.

I believe @Nitronik has a very good idea for that.

This simply is not true.

Good point. Does deleting count as change?

Good luck breaking the Steam Monopoly any other way.

High Mag Scope just because it's basically useless now.

For anyone viewing this thread, the patch in question caused a detriment in performance (severe in some cases) without the players themselves changing anything. This isn't a thread about the typical and long known performance issues APB has.

Vive la Révolution!!!

If you were to perform equally and well in both bronze and silver then yes you should threat up faster in silver. For anyone wondering, threat calculation looks something like this: And for anyone wondering, threat distribution looks something like this: As should be obvious to anyone who plays APB, the largest group threat wise are silvers, and this is true in spite of the suggestion that gold is easy to achieve. You are gonna want that 10k+ hour crowd for that.

Imagine thinking fight club has anything to do with threat. Also, since you asked I have nearly 6,000 hours in APB. And the number is way higher for post count, my first forum account dates back to 2014-2015. I don't really know what to say about the FBW thing. I didn't want to go into bronze and just shit on people, but I also didn't want to do nothing and ruin the experience for anyone grouped with me. It was important to me that I try to find a balance. Also, I would love to watch you stream blowtorch only... You know just to see how fair it is. If you don't think it's easier to attain gold in bronze vs silver district, well I guess thats your right. Seems highly counterintuitive though. Cheating has always existed in APB. Dethreating has not, all you have to do is match that with pop. I'm not sure why you equate some players not being banned with no one being banned, but again that's your right. Anyways back to meetings for me. It's as if you cannot read. It's clearly acknowledged that this has been going on for years. It's actually stated verbatim. SPCT has some of the most knowledgeable and also a few are among the most skilled players in the game. That being said, we are only testers. We just find bugs and report them.

If that's true, then it's the threat you deserve.

Cool story, dethreaters still killed APB. The data does not support this claim. It only seems like gold is easy to get because you are stomping noobs all day. Stop fighting in the beginner district and then tell me how easy it is to get and maintain. Im not sure if trolling or stupid, but not using a primary is a massive disadvantage. Cheaters are regularly banned. Dethreaters, even though breaking the CoC, are not. This is true, however the number of car surfing volcano users shitting on bronzies is ridiculous. Im not sure what you are trying to say here... that there are different weapon classes? Also, what does RoF have to do with anything? As the wise MaxJedburgh once said "you get owned by experienced players until you become experienced player yourself, leave or adapt" If you arent purposely deathreating, and really are just bad... then I guess that's fine if you stay in bronze. Good point. agreed I should have reserved that for dethreaters only, as you stated some players just aren't that good, and naturally find themselves stuck in bronze. Ok, Ive got some meetings for the next several hours... I'll check in later for anyone who has responses.

Basically what Brandon said. Apparently midtown as a standalone didn't get any further than a single flat plane. No buildings, no streets... pretty much no anything.

We usually get updates every 30 days or so (sometimes a bit longer). Last update was June 21st. You can read it here:

jk, looks fun.... if vomiting is your thing

SPCT here, us and the GM's are just player volunteers, so you'd have to contact an actual LO employee for this one. A new map would be cool though.
