I know I'm coping but.
Will we ever see a update for console. Like give me a predicted or suggested time slot of a console update.
I'm not holding out I play PC but it would be nice. Same as optimization for series x consoles and ps5 cause the game still doesn't run good. Same as more issues. It would be nice for the content update for console.

Is there any future updates for console? Or anything?

Does console get this. I guess not

I had seen a year ago Xbox live made free 2 play games not require gold anymore. APB RELOADED still requires gold after being a free 2 play game. Will this be fixed soon?
-
Regardless I taken a break from APB but seeing console on the roadmap has made me happy. I wanna give you guys a medal for doing your all to pull console from life support and into society as a living thing.
Stay safe LO

For the console players, we also jumped back into those builds to merge over all the recent work on PC. Both PS4 and XB1 are now compiling again with all the new content.
We'll be looking at console crashes next week.Don't give me that hope lol

As some of you may know some accounts in EU have been reported to have been hacked in the today and yesterday. Mostly targeting well known "theme maker" accounts so far.
One of my alternate APB accounts have also been hacked as my friend in Dischord pointed out that one of my chars in that account were seen "speed hacking" in mission districts while I was not home and at work.
I'm not going to name any names or victims but I will give a hint of the suspected culprits as some of you in the APB community already know them,
Snipped Name and Shame ~@mayii
Just take some precaution and change your passwords and set up a 2 step verification process with your APB Gamer first accounts!
As for how our accounts got hacked we don't know, I never did anything stupid to have my information stolen like that.
I think this is a real issue that Little Orbit should take a look at.
I will now take this up with Support.
Chrome had detected a compromised password back in september. I knew this shit was gonna happen

Im feeling good. I been playing pc more than console and it's fun but I always return to console. As for console players who aren't on the forums. Don't be hopeless. If LO didn't care they would of just closed the console edition. (The only new thing is before JMB was removed for pc you would get 100 JT for every item you got. I.e if you pull 10 you get 1k JT and items)
As for that PC is fun. With console experience it made the gameplay a bit more fun. Also the economy on pc for legendaries is way different than console.
So besides that what's everyone doing in APB right now?

15 hours ago, Nafryti said:in the entire time i've been with APB, i spent far too much money, all in the pursuit of fun. I've bought clothing packs, car packs, guns that look cool, etc.
LO came along and made some changes, namely the ACTUAL progression with the new engine.
I've quit several times during this upgrade fiasco, but this time i have to say i'm rather pissed at two things.
The ungodly toxicity of some players has gotten almost 10 fold worse from some over the years but thats never been a problem, i just /ignore, but the /report that "supposedly works" needs to fucking do something when a players theme purpose made to trigger debilitating migraines in those susceptible to them. I could have a dozen children screaming their lunges out in my ear and it won't compare to that ear shattering theme. I've basically had a migraine for the past 2 weeks because of this unacceptably allowed ear no.
I get that lag is a huge problem and players from all over the world HAVE to log into US East servers, however, why is my latency better to East than my own native West coast? I feel like i'm imagining things but i feel like spawning players are creating huge lag spikes, at least for me, and i feel disgusting using that to my advantage in some missions.
*Game hitches (drops to 0fps for a split second) while running around* "there's a player nearby" |or| *Game stops to 0FPS for 2 seconds* "Welp looks like they're forcing their win" *game resumes, i'm dead, or surrounded by opponents*
The final straw was shortly after the Beta of 8/1/20. I have not really ever experienced any issues with APB so dramatic that i ever really cared in respects to lag, and the above behavior of game freezing never happened before i played Beta, but after i played Beta... i'm experiencing regret. I wish i never played Beta if it meant giving up my sanity in Live. I've been suffering the issue of stuttering, frame drops and freezes ever since Beta. What really pissed me off is after i upgraded to an Nvidia GTX 1070 from an RX480 my FPS took a 20FPS drop, and it wasn't stable fps either.
I can't even keep track with what i'm trying to say aside from...
Little Orbit, if you wanted me gone that fucking badly, rather than sabotage one of my favorite games of all time, i'd have considered the offer of a refund and a polite request for my departure.
I just want to cry now.
APB isn't fun anymore.
It's easily playable at the supposedly report 80fps but it keeps hitching and stuttering from 100fps to 60fps and it doesn't do it smoothly, it slam shifts into these rates.
I'm unsure if i should quit outright, wait until Engine upgrade is live, or TRY to play still, even though i'm clearly going to need therapy the way it is now.
Please understand, i really don't care what toxic remarks you have about me in this situation, if you feel better about yourself after saying whatever nasty thing you have to say, go for it, but i'd appreciate at least something productive to maybe help me in my situation, rather than being told to just kms, or delete windows. I don't think i'm asking for much in that regard. and i don't consider myself anywhere near "good" or "skilled" at APB, its just a casual game for me, that used to be fun...
Talk to the console players sweetie.
I play on pc and console players are losing hope but Im patient.
You aint seen shit yet.

1 hour ago, Sakebee said:Hello everyone,
A new patch is going up onto the Live servers for PC. This patch will be happening on Wednesday 8/5/2020. We are posting our notes a little early this week because there are a lot of changes to cover this time around (see overview for more details). The Patch is scheduled to start at 9 AM UTC and will last up to 6 hours. Console will have its normal maintenance starting at 9 AM UTC as well.
OVERVIEW
Our PC patch this week deals primarily with missions. Since Little Orbit took over, there has been a lot of talk about mission balance. We have been carefully listening to everyone's feedback and noting areas of improvement for some time now, but since Missions are the core of APB, these weren't changes we wanted to rush into. Any modifications to these core systems needed a strong understanding of APB gameplay and how everything fits together. As such, that is how we would like to frame this discussion: holistically. We are going to cover each of our goals for missions in a general sense before diving into the specifics in the changelog.
This first mission pass is intended to provide as much improvement as possible to the APB player's experience without fundamentally changing any of the existing missions you know and love. Our efforts here were focused on reducing pain points, like unwieldy timers, odd group sizes for missions, or awkward objectives. We wanted our missions to flow. Additionally, we wanted to introduce as many opportunities for counter-play as we could to emphasize opportunities for skillful and exciting back and forth between players.
Another area we knew we could improve upon is novelty. Many of our hardcore players have done the same set of missions thousands of times. In order to add some variety, we've gone back and found 50 missions that were previously disabled, added them back to the available mission pool, and updated them all to current mission standards. This means that, in addition to improved gameplay flow, there are also now many more missions to experience in any one gameplay session.Finally, our third area is balance. With so many different missions and objectives, it was important to us that each felt as fair as possible to either side. Many of our timing, point, and grouping changes were in service to this goal.
There are many more changes than we have space to cover here or which can neatly fit into our three main pillars of Mission Flow, Mission Novelty, and Mission Balance. We will include a more detailed list of these changes in the change log below, but we encourage you to try them out for yourselves when the patch goes live. An important part of this process of improving APB is community feedback, so be sure to let us know what you think once you've gotten a chance to play!
PC CHANGES/FIXES
Mission Changes

We've manually adjusted stage timers and point totals to account for various mission factors. Some examples include:

- Objective location (Streets, Satellites, Open Areas)
- Final stage timers and point totals for stages that have points have been reworked to focus more on point totals and less on timers.
- Bonus time missions now end early when unopposed to prevent stage time pooling. Bonus time based missions now begin with a larger timer.
- Stage timers have been normalized when swapping between attack and defend stages.
- Missions where the first stage involves three objectives have had their stage timers increased to prevent the defenders from having an immediate advantage.
- Moved all VIP/Escort missions to a minimum group size of 3.

As a console player I can back this up..
The console version was a unfinished engine upgrade.
Half our playerbase lost hope in updates but Im patient.
To the console players reading this stay patient. Once lo finishes pc. We'll get updated with content and than LO can start updating both platforms.

1 minute ago, AlishaAzure said:Yeah, that's the problem haha, Once that's implemented, which will take some time still.
I just feel sorry for you guys, i tried out APB on both consoles and i don't know how you can play like that.
I don't care man. If the game was shit why am I still here? It's not.
APB is good on a 4k tv. When I play on my smart tv it's a bit hard once it starts stuttering but I like the game man. Who cares how long its gonna take. It's gonna come to consoles. We have to have patience. I do. Other people don't. I like the game.
-
4 minutes ago, AlishaAzure said:No new content will be added.
Normal Server Maintenance means servers shutdown, then they start up again after some hours, they just clear up things behind the scenes, no more.
Also PC as you can see, no any patch notes, we are falling down slowly.
I meant the content to pc will come to console once pc gets the engine upgrade.

1 hour ago, Sakebee said:We do regular server maintenance that impacts console servers. Since there is an interruption of service at the specified time, we call it out each week so you guys are informed.
Oh ok. New content is coming to console its just that people are really hopeless due to g1c but now LO (you guys) we'll be updated soon.
I have patience. Other people don't may or may not have patience.

They transferred over.
I would say a best thing is since every console players spent money give them loyalty rewards behind it. Or atleast a special Xbox or Playstation skin to show loyalty.
Merged.
I wanna say. It takes a damn man like you to own up to that shit. I love how open you are with the progress. I did find it weird when the twitter acc didnt directly answer when a console update would happen. However I thank you for being open with us and being vocal. Some day console can make a return. If not? Than it is what it is.
Thank you matt. Keep going and keep doing the best you can. I like it when you the CEO can be vocal and speak to the players.
