    Oh shit thank god... and here I was thinking APB was in some kind of trouble.

    Arbitrary selections aside, I'll guess I'll see you in 27.8 players!

    hey, if you'd just read, i did say i realize it is low

    and i did mention that it is a constant drop

    however, what you stated is factually wrong.

    you are definitely one month early and in that time stuff can happen.

    also albeit not bringing in new players the updates lo does rn are very important though.

    since only upgrading performance and graphics won't make people say that it's a good and polished experience/game that is worth playing, if it still has the same old flawed systems.
    however, while this might all help retain new people to some degree, bringing old players back will require new content - and the other updates should help retaining them. trading and matchmaking alone won't bring people in.

    sadly there is work to be done on every side.
    and mindlessly complaining - making a wild guess here - probably won't help

    Just looked at the steam charts... averaging less than a thousand players on all servers.
    Cant seem to find any point in the entire history of APB / APB: Reloaded in which the numbers have dipped this low.

    how is it so hard to just scroll down on the webpage you are just showing? it was actually lower than this 5/6 months ago, just before lo took over

    so no, your clickbait title is wrong
    and it is quite easy to find a point like that.

    it definitely is low though. idk, lo takeover can't stop the constant drop forever. also there isn't much content coming that would keep people playing. it's not like 90% quit because they got scammed on social through a fake trade or because g1 personally upset/banned them.

  3. presets are nice because you don't need to transfer mods between chars, are easier to obtain than lvl 3 mods for newer players - and there are also those with silencers.

    some presets are quite questionable though and ye, having some models exclusively for them isn't great.

    we had this topic couple of times already, please use the searchfunction of the forums

    I was excited about the new game... until I learned LO expected you to pre-order the game in order to beta test it. Now Im just like whatever, good luck. 

    Except that's normal practice.
    these years, ye. some companies still hand out invites for closed betas via raffles or on application basis or make... well... open betas.

    but all that doesn't make this less of a normal business practice.

  5. palmos > windows mobile > ubuntu touch > windows phone > ios > android

    seriously, if you actually want to hear an honest opinion
    "current" gen

    design
    p20 (pro) > op6 > s9(+) > iphone x(s,r,s max) > iphone 8(7,6,5,4,3,2,1)
    leaving out some vivo and xiaomi phones

    hardware
    iphone xs(r, max) > op6 > s9+ > p20 (pro) > iphone x

    price/performance
    op6 >>>>

    os
    android = ios
    using android mostly - although i see why ios is likable - and i am using it on my second device (mostly bc of imessage tho)

    i bet op is iphone 7 brokeass :^)

    Its right near the covered garages in the middle!(can't even have a good description, because they never made a pin point map description option. Its actually upper map, not exactly middle, you know where most ppl will hang out, near it at least...) That vending machine will spawn my car instead of giving me the ammo menu as it should!
    Do you ever test what you "fix?" Or your just break them, and wait for us idiots to post about it.
    I did noticed that only half of it(left side) will spawn my car, but how fair can that be? As i will take around 200+ to spawn my car every time.
    Minorities, who cares about them, right? Problems is, they were never there before, they just started popping up recently.

    1. you can get coordinates from the map
    2. you can just take a screenshot of the map
    3. this problem has been around for ages (e.g. in that one enfo garage in western financial)

    Wait... so I'm not actual?
    Oh shit, I though leases were like before.

    g1-esque.

    as minor as changes may be, they really need to be publicly documented...
    everything apart from the ui was already ingame before, leases could be stacked under g1

  8. pretty sure they are stackable right now already

    i do own most weapons permanent so i didn't test it out recently but i had a HoHoHoPGL or whatever it was called leased for 500+ days by stacking the duration (albeit only purchaseable once a day)

    take a look at the blogpost

    btt: did you also test how forgiving they are for bad aim? this was/is my biggest concern besides range, you didn't even have to hit enemies well and they still easily died
    Link.
    besides that you can always find the blog where it always was and has been for the past... 8 years

    bird's eye view - be even further away from your char? 
    nah really, i'm too limited to even think how that'd work out, like sure you could do rs3 but stronger but... that's also not how hms is (some absolute value) and it'd be quite... well tbf hms is also weird on most weapons that isnt made for.

    fun fact in the german translation
    hunting sight was called nearsighted
    and
    reflex sight was called eagles eye

    i guess they mixed that up?
    That's a carry-over from the Real Time World days. The joke is pretty much self explanatory - you can't see shit so you need a magnifying glass to aim down range
    well... if you see it like that - sure you'd use hs3 if you were nearsighted... but calling the mod nearsighted instead of "magnifying glass" or - well - hunting sight is a bit odd, especially when it's the other way around in english

    how come we dont have a reflex sight equivalent to hms?

    the apb discord is a good place to find people to play with - i'm on phone so no link but you can find it after a quick search in the forums.

    No it's not, they just ignore you while trashtalking about nonsense stuff.
    got em

    just speaking out of my experience. maybe yours was different.

    (didn't even downvote you lul)

    Premium players get 1/2 cooldown times. 
    Isn't it about time this was just the baseline?

    half the time for it to be the baseline by buying premium(tm)

    The Deadeye Sniper, Marksman, Semi-Auto, Rifleman, and Silencer packs all have "30 Day" written somewhere. But for some reason it's missing from the Machinegunner and CQC packs. 

    But the real issue is that the "Vital" Weapon Pack doesn't contain an LMG. WTF is this? Did the programmers not have access to a Dictionary when naming these packs? Literally UNPLAYABLE.
    you can get one from the weapon selector though
    i do feel like that bundle is/was a good idea
    and you only need an alig if any out of the lmgs

    @Androvald could we get an exact explanation on this added option? I'd be really interested to hear if it causes input lag such as triple buffering or v-sync.
    lmgtfy
    https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/triple-buffering-adds-or-reduces-input-lag.2380763/

    there has been arguments about this for years with no clear answer. (about both triple and double buffering)
    however, the second answer in this thread gives a quite sound response.
