vsb

the matchmaking isn’t the issue, it uses modified elo ratings to match players of similar skill just like pretty much every other pvp game the issue is is the extremely limited pool of people it has to match - there’s no way to increase that pool without either a)bumping the district pop cap up and melting the already shit servers, or b) adding a mechanic (like phasing) that allows the entire population to be used for matchmaking purposes without changing the district pop cap wow that’s really great info thanks for explaining your points so well to us non-IT folks, i really appreciate the well thought out response

obviously not as they’ve already told us that phasing is possible after the engine upgrade from my non “industry” knowledge, i assume the problem isn’t really the underlying engine but how much of a mess all the custom coding (open world districts, day/night cycles, customization systems, etc) piled on top of it is - to change something that affects so many other pieces would introduce so many unintended effects that it’s just not currently feasible if your “industry” experience can shed some light on this topic perhaps you should chime in, instead of being a passive aggressive monkey

seamless instance transfer is not possible on the current engine unless (assumption) added via excessive custom coding - the very same thing that causes many of apb’s current issues

you cannot possibly be a real person, this amount of willful ignorance is off the charts the difference here is that you aren’t saying “stop cheating” in district, you’re saying “player x stop cheating” - given your earlier statements i doubt you understand the difference so just trust me that there is one

the only way to truly solve matchmaking issues is with the phasing mechanic, which is off the table until 3.5

who to believe, thousands of negative reviews over several years or one nerd that still plays apb?

“i don’t have this problem so it doesn’t exist” good job bud

yeah its just not worth wasting 20 minutes of gameplay if you're going to risk it by fighting, especially on jericho where riot matches are so hard to start

have you seen riot? i don't want orbit anywhere near the rest of the UI lmao

as far as im aware you (or a member of your team) needs to survive until the match ends to receive full standing rewards

2FA disables trade locks, or at least that was the plan at one point

flareguns are massively annoying when used properly honorable mention to spotter mod even tho it’s not a weapon

ddos (or mitigation) probably

yeah i'd like to give the benefit of the doubt but the last time i saw someone use it they wanted to report a bronze i had seen go hard negative a few missions beforehand

because player A has claimed that player B is cheating, you quit a mission - if other players start quitting as well then player B will experience subpar gameplay, worst case scenario they just stop playing apb for x amount of time in this case griefing is not cheating, as no unfair advantage is being gained over the opponent btw if you're the moron who spams "team watch then /report player x" in district then you arent fit determine anyone but goat level silent aimers are cheating

congratulations on writing the dumbest sentence i've seen all day this is exactly why name and shame is frowned upon

espacio needs to be awd (and maybe add some weight), a “heavy” vehicle that can be pushed around by sportscars is ridiculous

lol nah

i get that we can speak any language on the forums, but why does yood’s incomprehensible gibberish count?

if hackusating was bannable ingame 90% of the population would have been banned from apb in 2011

available in the joker store

first choice says buff all cars to vegas level (which i disagree with), or at least that's how i read it

i personally think encouraging "stealth" gameplay makes matches pretty dumb

poll doesnt have an option for "complete rebalance" scuffed laughs in pioneer
