perhaps not the compliment you think it is, considering dave jones played a not insignificant role in rtw apb self-destructing in the first place

it actually didn’t even have that, i think open conflict would have been better received if there was at least an equal number of bodies on each team

eu more like ew haha owned

we already have more than 4 threat levels having to change districts to get a mission is poor game design

im pretty sure he thinks the animation bug where your character stays in the jogging animation while firing is evidence of cheating, so he deserved it

fortnite and minecraft are still active and actively growing in part because the underlying games are pretty solid (as well as multi-billion dollar company backers, but we can pretend that doesn't matter), CoD releases a new game every year and is primarily a console ip asking for massive content additions while the fundamentals of apb remain broken is putting the cart way before the horse, as a beta veteran myself i have no interest in coming back for a new district or extra contacts if the same old problems of game performance, balance, moderation, poor monetization, etc are still around - just look at how badly Riot crashed and burned if you want an example of how fast the shiny new coat of content paint wears off

i really don’t think you do lol

feels like your reading comprehension could use some work my guy, everything you quoted was written by the “community”, not matt

thanks for your input

lol

the problem with this is you are punishing players for playing well and rewarding them for playing poorly, which is the opposite of what should happen it also seems very exploitable at first glance, what stops players from intentionally playing poorly for the entire mission so that they get extra buffs, and then playing well in the final stage while abusing those buffs?

because the more the matchmaking system is forced to follow the rules, the less matches it creates the alternative is no unopposed matches and no unfair matches, but 30/60/90 minutes waiting for a mission instead

25% sale on district population

team on mission has to be /dnd, out of mission player readies up at the same time as backup is called

just stop paying attention to it?????

you've never seen someone win a mission but dethreat or vice versa? thats because the player failed to achieve the performance that the matchmaking system predicted, regardless of where they place on the scoreboard - if the system thinks you'll obliterate 2 bronzes and you only end up barely breaking even scorewise, you'll lose threat even as the top scorer edge cases aside, from a practical perspective you're right that the finer details and exact percentages don't matter for the large majority of players, especially without much more granular threat representation

tracers returning wont make silencers viable, they aren’t really a gameplay factor above a certain skill level

all the guns that dont have tracers disagree that tracers are ugly?

speed is certainly down to game feel, but i think the trailer is pretty close to actual old apb tracers hang around way longer than the trailer anyway, its part of why i don't think they look good

they look more like smoke trails than tracers to me for comparison an rtw trailer had more realistic tracers that i think look way better source:

anyone who thinks this looked good deserves to be shamed

bro a name change is like 10 bucks, how many cheaters do you think there are to make that profitable???

tracers are ugly af tho, keep them off

it’s easier to upthreat than dethreat due to poorly balanced score awards and anti dethreater mechanics g1 implemented, and threat percentages are not dynamic so there’s no limit on how many players can be gold

spct work for orbit the same way volunteering at a homeless shelter makes you work for the homeless lol
