The IP is the only thing about this game that is worth shit. What a poor decision to sell it to some Chinese company who will not have the same vision. I understand they won't have any say in APB: Reloaded, but the next versions of APB? You can't just keep updating APB: Reloaded and putting an 2.0/3.0 at the end of it. All the future APB titles will just be Chinese GTA clones. Good job Orbit, this is the worst decision you have made for the game thus far. I get that you are fiending for the cash after realising what this game entails but damn. I'm really not interested in what happens next.

Yeah, neato. You're going to have to free up 'taken' names from the 2015 merge before/while this is happening. Also, make it so I can merge two accounts together, or just move 1 character to my other account. danke

I agree that some of the SPCT aren't the best and there are a few that I don't believe belong there but not every SPCT has to be a top-tier player. The game should not cater towards the casual player, 100%, but to say that 'average' Golds get no say is kind of silly. If you're Gold you have some sort of understanding of the game which is what should be a requirement for SPCT. Guns should work in a competitive way and it should take time to master them, but they should also not be hard to learn. (It's hard to learn a weapon though when so much of it is based on RNG) The SPCT is only as good as LO lets them be, and honestly we don't have that good a community for LO to pick from.

Not to worry, just like you, I want this game to progress so I can feel your frustration towards players who refuse to help guide the game in the right direction. I said in the other thread: I already knew before testing the weapon that it wouldn't be a good change. The RFP does NOT need any more range that it already has. The Fang is a big problem, so adding range basically buffed the RFP (the TTK wasn't really the problem). It's the fact that it can be such an annoyance at the range. The RSA and the ACT44 need to be viable, but with the RFP/Fang being so good at long range (and qsing being removed) they aren't all that common. Yeah, for large updates that completely change the meta with weapons, players should test them. Only after SPCT gets to test them though, and we need SPCT that know how each gun /should/ function and what LO needs to do. But small changes like these that can be seen clearly on paper, does not need players to test them before people can say it's 'terrible' or 'a bad decision'.

I don't agree with the changes, so why would I spend my time testing them? Clearly me not playing the game speaks more than my voice on these forums.

I mean, I could just play the game less and less as I have been doing. My option seems like a better use of my time.

Not bad actually. A clan that gave legendaries to players like DominicanTiger and such for carries. I'm sure the Bronze districts will feel safer.

I'm not reading 5 more pages with this laggy POS forum so: RFP didn't need a range buff. I don't care that it was slightly nerfed with less damage. The RFP 'Fang' was annoying due to the effective range of it. I really don't want to be fighting more RFP's.

the game has cheaters close down the game easy solution

yeah my chrome goes extra slow whenever im on the forums, no other site is like this for me. n1

neat of you to disclose it in such a way. like you weren't exactly forced to do it now, but yeah. those were horrible odds and now are still terrible but that is what gambling is.

does it humour the admins/mods? if no, then no. ur gonna be banished

eh, we're gonna need a fine line on that because 99% of threads in this forum would fall under that tbh

i miss being on ts with at least 3 possible groups to join at any time of day and having tons of fun :^(

dunno about that tbh, i still see the same russians on high ranking accounts cheating... like i remember seeing those chars at sub r100 a few months ago yet they're almost 255 now xd

$100 million wasn't just straight to develop APB afaik, it was put towards other stuff as well. With that being said, back in 2009 APB was well ahead of it's time. Think GTA V, it came out in 2013 and development started in 2008. APB's concept was WAY ahead of the curve. GTA is it's own spin on the whole crime thing, but APB done things very well. Not well enough for the mainstream though sadly. APB was a concept back in something like 2005 while RTW was developing Crackdown on Xbox 360. (i loved the crackdown art style and lore, it's why I love apb so much too) There was a lot of money being pumped around during the RTW time for different titles. With that being said, poor management was a major factor in wasting that $100 mill.

i was expecting a possible name wipe so we could get unmerged character names :^(

does he actually play the game ?_? all i ever see is him on the forums and talking in /d xd

i mean you could really just /exit the game and then if all the players in bronze that doesn't want to face Golds do it then the game will die faster and LO will need to do something about dethreating.

usually it happens when you join a district after joining a FC

Your thread is based on the first post you made, hence my reply. Had you of posted the other images in your OP maybe I wouldn't have said anything... but ya didn't. I'm not trash talking you. I'm just saying that's nothing impressive, especially if you're "working your patootie off" for that money. It's not like I'm no-lifing APB either, considering: And like 5hrs of those were yesterday while I was playing Civ: 5 and doing IRL things. Yet again, yeah the game is dying. I don't get why you've made so many threads over the past few months about it, as if we're not aware. Maybe just don't play the game if you have such a problem with it? Is it really that difficult?

Yeah, but it won't mean much when there will be like 20 people in Gold haha. If we had our old 2013-ish Pop and if old G1 had actually done the threat-segregation properly we could have Gold only districts. They didn't do it correctly though, hence the Gold Rush event, hence the low population. :^(

I'm not saying you're wrong, the game is dying on both servers. I'm just saying you arguing about the population for not being there while, again, THE MAJORITY of people don't work dumb shifts like that. Wow, you work your patootie off for so much $!!! Wow, crazy!!! 600$!!! amazing! I really don't care about how much you earn, or that you 'bust your patootie' for. All I'm saying is that you are in the minority, therefore you shouldn't expect that there will be a ton of people online. It'd be me playing some Korean game at my regular time and me complaining everyone is in school or work. hahaha you're delusional to think you're being reasonable.

If you really want to make bank without having to worry about people taking your stash you could do the cheeky way. Get two PCs (or you and a friend) 1 Enf - 1 Crim Raid with crim then give the stash when it's near 2.5k to the enfo so he can keep it "safe". (pray you don't get DC'd) When you reach like 500k or more go N5 and kill the Enf near the drop to minimize the chance of getting witnessed. EZ money

That wouldn't help with much at the moment due to the lack of population. You can't just raise the requirements and then somehow that would fix match-making, there won't be enough opposition for the higher-tier players. There will be two different reactions. 1. Players will 'tryhard' to get back to Gold. We'll need an active ELO system that removes ELO from inactive players constantly or on a daily base. (which might tax the servers more) 2. Players will then just play for fun and no one will get better as there will be no reason to face the top players. If you want people to STRIVE for something you need to make Gold something you want to play in. It's like just playing competitive match-making on CS and then thinking "hmm maybe I could get better by playing FaceIt/ESEA". With the top tier of those platforms players compete for cash prizes, so people strive to be really good at the game. If there was a bonus for being Gold and playing in a Gold district eg. Joker Tickets (now that there are actual permanent weapons), bonus contact standing, bonus APB$, weapon trials selectors, skin selectors maybe players would want to be Gold. As I've said before about Bronze districts/Silvers(Piss Golds) in Bronze:
