Ketog

I mostly meant more clarity, like more screenshots of the issues your guys are dealing with, how far the overall progress is, as you know, even if it's not representative of what's actually happening, people like to see more than just text from you, they want to see the work, not read it, that's why the apb 2.1 screenshots had so much attention, because they could see the progress of you guys's work Anyhow thank you for giving a word matt, and yes, you're doing an awesome job as the voice of LO, just doesn't always feel right as what you do is pretty much what the community manager should be doing. Thanks again, really appreciated

But then why do the SPCT's exist, that's where it's conflicting, SPCT's are publicly known "special" people and can even have a fancy tag yet than can be themselves, but somehow GM's are not the same, im not saying it matters if we know their real identity or not, it's more that, they have to act so much different than a normal player, they can't do missions, they can't play, neither really be themselves, and always answer in a robotic way to questions almost.

Hey, im Ketog, a long time player of APB I've been playing apb for years just like a lot of you guys here, and some of the people i met early in the game still play today and also are friends i can count on today. To all the long time players, have you guys realized how everything about apb is always hidden, or secret ? From how teams are managed, to development, and roadmaps , how the community always asks for things and never get an answer, or where actions are taken and the reason behind them is always blurry. One of my APB friends told me yesterday "Ketog, do you know why GM's always have to hide who they are, while you have the spct kinda guys in open sight and their fancy tag?" For all the GM's that have been in citadel, and talked to me, you guys know how much people appreciate when you guys are just being yourselves. I've always wondered, what's the reason , anything APB related has to always be hidden, in my opinion people are so much happier when they're open about everything: Imagine if players knew exactly what Little Orbit was doing on the engine upgrade, what they were planning what they try and what fails/works, LO never gathers proper feedback from the community always because they hide so much, Gm's , or team members always appear and vanish all the time and somehow get replaced, we never have any true contact with our community manager, and no one ever properly represents the player base neither LO themselves as a whole The day LO talked about RIOT every single veteran of APB knew it was about to fail, and a huge waste of time and ressources, but guess what, LO was too far in the development to stop, and they kept going on What if they told the community their interests into trying new things, and asking for opinions before any movements. Players wouldn't expect so much from APB content if they knew everything they see on forums is always Experimental. APB is a small game and it has a hard time living when managed as if it was a huge Brand. What's the real reason behind APB being so closed from the outside ? What prevents LO from taking a more Open minded path with APB, im sure having a PR person sharing all the work LO does on a daily basis, would bring incredible positive support for the game, rather than daddy matt having to do all the work himself. Anyway, i know this is not true for everything, but in my case, me being completely open about what i am, made me much happier, rather than wearing a mask and hiding things that i am unhappy with Now people like me for what i am, instead of a mask i wear all the time.

Until today i still don't understand why people always ignore spread. As if an ogre with 100M range will kill at 100m...

While it's true that all Apo weapons are meh, Oblivion is by far the strongest of them, and im guessing you're not even aware of it's special mechanic.

not much more i can show here, not like that can't be done on live either Live:

Just talking about my old 2014 accounts here, as a joke, don't worry i am not banned.

I am already

true, didn't realise what i wrote there, or well, im gonna keep it this way

- Hate symbols, or obvious "this is not a hate symbol, but i totally hid one in there" - Every genitalia that's under the belt. - Technically real life brands

while that does sound crazy, i definetely see this as a possiblitty in the apb community, i know a couple of people that would go as far as doing this, just out of pure hatred

here's my take on it: When you play good, you're rewarded with death And when you play bad, you're rewarded with less rewards. Doesn't that seem a bit counter intuitive ?

I have been wondering, is this a strict rule, or do you guys choose to be private ?

jokes aside, as people said above, most people complain about doxxers and haters, but the said people doxxed themselves by sharing little bits of their info permanently, it's okay to be open about what you do and where you are, but you can then only blame yourself if problems arises due to that

he's probably either talking about one of the server merges OR the massive password change that G1 Forced last time Both of those made a couple of accounts disappear, or have no email attached to them at all

can't be doxxed if you dox yourself first

Kickback is the best for most users, it's just a nade spammer and will easely overwhelm your enemy, shoots 3 grenades that deal quite high damage, i love to play it in fight club (baylan) time to times. Deep impact is also very very good, due to it dealing extremely high damage in quite a wide area, but it has only a single shot, so it's quite a high learning curve, and you're very dependent on your secondary weapon, i've seen a couple of people playing it in fight clubs, and it can be very very good, but of course, you won't stand a chance against an NTEC in a close range fight, it's mostly a matter of technique and predicting where your enemy will run to. Hammer is supposed to be a percussion nade alternative, but it just sucks bad, avoid it at all costs, nades doesn't act at all like perc, other than they deal less damage, and you only have two. i know most people here will say "just go for opgl, eol sucks loooool " but in the end it's mostly player preference, i myself really dislike OPGL due to it's very high fuse time, EOL series just feel much more dynamic, and less click and wait. oh yeah ill take that opportunity to post this:

Since there isn't a patch discussion , when can we expect a fix for the FBW kills not counting on roles ?

My only feedback is: Please reverse the shotguns to what they were before, no one called them overpowered, no one asked for them to be balanced. Guns that were asked to be modified the most were NTEC-5, HVR, ATAC, not shotguns.

If you're using an RTX graphics card, put your settings on low, that's a known annoying bug seems like APB hates GDDR6 Memory, i have a 1660 Super, and APB has a 10-30% chance to crash when i spawn oh, and when i try to report the bug: s i c k

thanks for updating matt scott to update the update thread about the engine upgrade update

Can we expect a server in Germany again ? i live in France and i want my 8ms back

Finally, i can't wait to see how everything turns out!

just so it finally opens up the game to actually have modern features and physics and mechanics such as -Proper engine optimisations -No more heavely modded Engine = Better performance -Modern environement to work with, so content is just better quality, while easier to make -Just a good base for any kind of developpement. and even things like -Clothing physics -Movement revamp (imagine just being able to walk to a ladder and not have to press F) The engine upgrade itself isn't content, but it's foundation for content.

Oh well, hope lixil, is doing good ! i vote for Kevkof as community manager
