    So am I to understand that the main initiative behind RIOT wasn’t to offset the steep learning curve of APB, and to attract new players, which it so desperately needs…it was to create a playpen for your dev team to make mistakes in, and to use as a learning tool?

     

    You then released this playpen…

    -          In a beta stage…

    -          On this archaic and broken engine, when the upgrade is allegedly around the corner…

    -          With underperforming servers that get constantly DDOS’ed …

    -          While your customer support after a year, still takes over a month to respond to a ticket…

    -          With a large amount of unwarranted hype to the community…

    -          (And here’s the fun one) Followed by “marketing efforts” and “press releases”.

     

    Does this honestly sound like a sound business strategy @MattScott?

    Those player volunteer GM's should be busy programming 3.5!!!

    And the artists making the symbols should be improving the netcode!!!

    If Little Orbit is thinking of releasing the new game mode before EU3.5 then I'm sorry to say that will be a mistake.

    Not only will it give people first impressions based on the old engine (with Jericho being DDoSed and Citidel harassed by speed hacks) but the Engine Upgrade may throw up some glitches and bugs for the new game mode when it is released.

     

    It takes as little as 7 seconds to form first impressions and they can last a life time, One would of thought these potentially vastly sub par experience is not what Little Orbit would want for people who come to return or joining APB for the first time.

    I could not agree with you more Vicky. You don't invite people over, until you clean your house. This is a terrible business move.

    Hi everyone,

     

    Little Orbit has now been running the game for nearly 2 months, and during that time I've gotten two common questions:

    • When are we getting a sale?
    • When will I adjust the prices in ARMAS?

     

    Honestly, it's taken a while for us to learn how all the systems work. As much as I would have liked to run something sooner, we just weren't ready. I also feel that only running a sale sends the wrong message, because you have to spend money to benefit. Instead for the upcoming holiday, I wanted to show our appreciation for players and give away something that wouldn't require them to spend money to enjoy.

     

    I am pleased to announce that starting at 12pm PDT on Tuesday the 3rd and running through 12pm PDT on Monday the 9th, we will be implementing 6 Days of Free Premium as a way to show our appreciation for the players of APB: Reloaded. It doesn't matter what platform you're on or what region you play in. All you need to do is log in and enjoy it. If you already have Premium, don't worry. We'll be giving you an additional 6 days, so everyone gets a little something.

     

    Here is what Premium gets you:

    • Up to a 90% bonus to all Contact Standing (XP) gains!
    • 125% bonus to all APB$ (in-game currency) gains!
    • 50% reduced cooldown on activated abilities!
    • Advanced access to customization suites (up to 100 layers)!
    • Extended duration for free Armas trials!

     

    We're prepping our new squad of GMs to get in-game and run some special events on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Lixil will be announcing details in the next couple days.

     

    For those of you that have been eyeballing that next weapon or looking at some new gear, we will also be running a 30% off sale on ARMAS.

    Since everyone will have Premium, during these 6 days you can get up to 50% off.

     

    Lastly, during the Q&A I mentioned that I wanted to adjust the pricing in ARMAS.

    So this event is just the beginning, and I want to be 100% transparent about what is going to happen once it is over.

     

    Effective 12pm PDT on Monday the 9th, we will be adjusting the amount of G1C that you get for each $1. Right now $1 gets you 80 G1C. I don't like that. It makes ARMAS pricing confusing and hard to figure out. Moving forward $1 will get you 100 G1C. Not only does that make the pricing much easier to understand, but it lowers the cost of all ARMAS items by 20%. Permanently.

     

    I hope you guys enjoy the holiday.

    See you in-game.


    Thanks,
    Matt

    You honestly feel good about taking money from people, when this game is at the most unplayable state, it's ever been?

    I can't believe we're having dialogue about game modes, when APB is practically unplayable right now…

     

    From a business standpoint, "Battle Royale" IMO is the best, if not only game mode that should be implemented.  Like it, or hate it, (I'm not a huge fan myself), it's popular right now, and will attract people to this game, which will be needed after the excessive fail that has been going on since the LO purchase. If you incentivize it for "BR" players to do missions, (unlock skins, clothes, etc..), you will  have a chance at strengthening the population long term.

     

    Why get rid of Open Conflicts?...just make all the servers OC. This whole match making nonsense is played out. Get back to basics...you K' up...you play.

    This game needs to be shut down, and relaunched, when the issues across the board, have been resolved. This game cannot function in this state, and expecting the community to play, and support it in this state, is beyond insulting. Shut it down...fix it...relaunch it.
