    Haven't played properly since 2014-ish, been doing somewhat poorly now, especially coupled with unstable fps I have.Came back a couple of weeks ago myself to play while I still have a chance to do so.

     

    Tried scout for old times sake that I used to enjoy and been doing quite poorly missing shots left and right so decided to shelve it for now. Then I started noticing I'm missing aimed shots with other guns like obeya rifle too although missed shots can be followed up quickly. Tried scout again and started paying more attention to my shots. Fair enough I miss quite a few but then there's shots where I perfectly aim and click on where enemy on my screen is and i still get a miss. Sometimes if I pay attention I notice blood splatter and no hitmarker. Sometimes nothing at all. Then other times I fail to track my enemy properly and click in front or behind him and get a hit there. Idk, don't remember hits being so inconsistent in the past... Super frustrating to get a miss on a well aimed shot

    Haha yeah. They are making it for Unreal 3.5 I think, which is already old now.

    Been "waiting" for so long now, I don't expect it anymore, I haven't for years. I still occasionally come by to look at the forums though.

    From what I understood from 2022 roadmap engine upgrade is cancelled lol.

     

    We'll get console version instead and they'll add on top whatever they managed to get working from failed engine upgrade. 

     

    Can't say I didn't see this coming from g1, LO gave me hope but alas Icarus reached too high and wax from his wings melted...

    I can go a week without unlocking anything then get 2 in 1 day and another the day after. I'm only doing a few missions a day though, Im back to looting cash for my cop character to buy a growl, 80,000 to go, should take 2 days unless thieving twat gets in the way. It's far more irritating now to spend an hour looting when max rank with 10 million and the other fuzzy bunny in the room goes gets his cop and comes and witnesses me, shoots me dead in 1/10th of a second as quick as I can blink with his OP gun. It never used to bother me because I didn't need the money, was just levelling up. Really pissed me off last night

    Are you the guy who was raging in chat that you lost 2 hrs worth or ram raiding few days ago? 😄

     

     

    My friend wanted to try and ram raid for half an hour to see what kind of $ you can make but got witnessed himself after 10 min lol

    Jumpshot scout was cancer, it was an even worse version of the CSG.

    Low TTK, I dont quite remember if it was the same as the CSG, but like the CSG you could hide 99% of the time so you always have the upper hand, no matter the distance.

    Not sure what APB is like now tho cause I quit in 2015, however when all those gimmicky fortnite-like things that were added by the previous Gamersfirst, like seeing enemies through walls with shit made me lose interest to try again, as much as Ive loved the game since 2009.

    Also tiggs was a horrible CM.

     

    Also RIP Vuh.

     

    Tho I dont blame LittleOrbit for taking so long, a former RTW dev told me back then that the code is a mess with absolutely 0 documentation, if anything this is old GamersFirsts fault. Announcing Engine upgrade before anyone properly looked into it, infact it came as a surprise for the devs.

    What was that guys name Björn somethingsomething?

    If it isn't emiko lurking in the forum. 

     

    Yeah there were a few sore thumbs mostly in armas category.

     

    I think you meant Scout quick switching as I don't think jump shooting did anything to ttk other than letting you shoot people behind fences. As a scout owner I was happy when quick switching was removed. It's G1 fault for making such unique weapons paid only.

     

    I was mainly talking about f2p weapons. N-kek dominating?  Melt him with joker carbine or out laser them both with obeya cr. Challenge the obeya with obir. Or scumbag with broken Nhvr (glad for this nerf tbh). Obeya pistol too good - outsprint it with joker rfp.  There were viable options.

     

    Then they nerfed some weapons -  resulted in others dominating the nerfed guns.  Solution nerf more. One by one. Untill all are crap. Then add some broken armas guns and nerf them after we sold enough.

     

    I'm not saying weapon balance was perfect, there were a few things that needed looking at but it was way better and more dynamic than it is now. I quit myself in 2014-ish mainly due to performance issues that appeared after late 2012 and irregularly logged on for some events and what not here and there. Now I decided to play a bit while I still have the chance to play it as things are not looking good. Right now there are like 3 guns being used and that's it. And probably the solution (if there still will be one) to nerf those 3 guns

    Coming from someone who loved SR2, thought SR3 and 4 were pretty meh at best (the only good thing was customisation).

     

    This game will be no threat. Their games were going down the hill with each new release. And from all I've seen since it's announcement SR reboot will be woke garbage. The game will fail miserably.

     

    Also at 0:55 they censored MALE nipples. What a friggin joke of a game. Woke Row at it's best

    I remember thinking engine upgrade was not going to happen way back in 2015 after all the delays and quiet. LO gave me some hope after moneyfirst milked and ran the game into the ground but sad to see after all these years that I along with many other non believers were right. Apb dead but not forgotten.

     

    I'd kill for a 2011 version of the game. 2011-2012 was the gold age for apb IMO. End of 2012 is when they started messing with stuff and performance went to shite from what I remember. Also all guns were viable and fun. There were so many op guns that they all countered each other. Bring back Old School APB!

    Nice words let's just hope they will be backed up by actions. Sorry if I sound pessimistic but at this point it's hard to get excited for anything said regarding APB after being let down so many times by the other company who shall not be named. Still remember being excited after reading about the engine upgrade back in 2013. Damn time flies...

    I have never played WoT, too slow paced game in my opinion.

     

    Well you have to be into tanking to play something like that and it's in tanks by nature are slow. And when it comes to tanking it's one of the most arcady/fast/unrealistic game out there. If you think WoT is slow you should see something like War Thunder on realistic or simulator game mode lol 🙂

    Am I the only one who doesn't experience this? If you're noticing massive amounts of teleporting (packet loss) then your connection could be the culprit. I really don't have this problem.

     

    The only issue I have performance-wise was the stutters. Those little micro freezes that lock your game up for a second and get you killed. Rust has had them for ages, but it's slowly getting better. It's why I stopped playing Rust a while ago, this game is no different. I hope they fix it with the EU.

    Naw my connection is fine. It's what you call stutters/freezes or whatever, locks the game up for maybe a second and if before the freeze I was moving I will do a small teleport of a few meters and stop. If I was trying to hide behind cover then I will be moved away from it and get killed. I hear a way to reduce this is to get a ssd and put APB in it.

    If you put everything on super low it looks almost like the normal APB with similar FPS as the live version with heavy config mods. I do see the protentional but the game also felt more unsmooth then the live version even if you had the same FPS.

    That is worrying

    Can anyone name any other games where the community is killing the game?

    World of Tanks. I don't like the game too much but from my ovservations population is way more toxic than that of APB. The devs even removed ability to chat with the enemy team due to toxicity. You can optionally even block all communications from your team aswell as disable PM and annonymise your nickname.

     

    The devs keep making changes to low tier battles so somebody with thousands of hours and heap of coin has less chance to roflstomp newbies (very popular to do in that game btw, the call it "seal clubbing").

     

    On topic I do think it's time to at least temporarily remove threat locked districts so people still playing the game have a chance to get matches. People who played in 2010-2012 managed to survive without this. This reminds me of Han situation (anybody still remember that district lol)

    Performance, aka fps, was 10-15% slower than Live for me, but they're not near done with performance fixes, this most recent beta was a stress test to make sure everything worked with hundreds of players on concurrently, so it's not something to gauge the final product off of.

     

    Fps was my main complaint because getting low fps can make FC engagements feel crappy, but there were improvements; no obnoxious stutters, much faster load times etc

     

    Fps was even lower? Didn't think that's even possible. That's very worrying and the reason why a lot of people quit APB in the first place as the low fps in engagements often means certain death. Couple that with the ocasional teleports and you've got a recipe for disaster. For the sake of this game I really hope LO devs manage to fix the mess that G1 created...

     

    Merged.

    Agreed. I wasn't able to get in on the beta test which was a huge bummer so I'm going to wait till it goes live and be as patient as possible in the meantime. If the performance doesn't improve in any meaningful way, I'm gonna probably lose all hope and move on. Been playing since rtw so its sad to think I might have to say goodbye to apb.

    That's what I thought initally and the reason I quit APB in late 2013 - early 2014 when I saw it going down the hill with no hopes of recovery. Was planning to return after the promised engine upgrade arrives but it never did. I did log in here and there due to nostalgia and my love for the game but always got reminded fast why I quit and that the game was not the  same as it used to be.

     

    But now after logging in and checking /pop of what used to be two most popular servers now being combined into one I noticed a ~500 player count on peak hours and 100 of those are afk social type. I start thinking it's time I need to accept the state of APB as it is and play a few matches here and there as later on it might be too late no matter how much I wanted to play. I need to accept that it's impossible to play APB competitively and I need to enjoy this laggy mess for what it is and hope that my enemy will lag and teleport more than I do...

     

    If I could go back in time to 2011 when I discovered the game the first thing I'd do is sit down for a good APB session 🙂 Recently stumbled across some messages on my old phone and found conversations dating back to 2014 of one of my friends I played most inviting me to play APB and me declining him multiple times due to laggyness of the game. He quit gaming in 2015 and I will never play APB with him ever again. That fills my heart with sadness. I do plan to sit down and play a few games. I do feel the end time is nigh and all will be left are youtube videos screenshots and memories and that will be even more sad as we only realise the true worth of something only when we lose it.

     

    I do hope LO manages to pull a mirracle and save this game as I have not played anything quite like it.

    But they picked up where g1 left so stuff worked on by g1 staff should be there

    Ever got annoyed by waiting around 2 seconds to wear a SINGLE piece of clothing in your wardrobe?

     

    That's no longer there, swapping clothing is instant

    Small improvement but improvement none the less

    better hitreg.

     

     

    worse input lag.

     

    In the beta it was easier to kill guys using assault rifles, snipers, etc (slow movement guns) but was harder to kill enemies with carbine, oca, pmg (faster movement guns), at least in my opinion.

    That's odd

    yes lots of improvement over live for me

     

    there are still some issues left, but overall i feel pretty hopeful for 2.1

    Than there is still hope for this game. Checked /pop of the combined EU server and it was 400-500 in the peak hours, engine upgrade is the last hope this game has.

    Lol happened today after many years. Dreamt of new engine being tested. In the dream there were new weapons and vehicles too even a motorcycle (I know it's not happening). I guess it's the hype of new devs actually doing something and informing us of progress, let's hope it does not end up like it did with g1...

     

    Odd night tho, like I don't dream often but this night I had 3 dreams all of them interesting. 1st about apb, 2nd and 3rd about a friend of mine who I go lifting together, in 2nd one he was a girl. I told him that and he was like "dafuq did u smoke last night" I swear I didnt smoke anything that night tho lol
