As a community manager i'm here to say "Hello and welcome to WASP"
Oops this is the G1 forum, Welcome to the Community, our new CM! -
from the wording of the post they have changed the stats back but not the way it front loads the damage, so they behave the same but now do the damage they used to do?

bronzes can join silver districts?
golds can join silver districts?-

that makes the game pay2win and the argument starts again, then they get put in the joker store and they make no money...

31 minutes ago, LilyV3 said:@MattScott make a fallen earth utilizing APB's char customization, that would be amazing. But I doubt that could be integrated into FE, so it would definitely require making a new game over implementing that.
couldn't see why not, if they redo FE in UE4 then the customisation thing already exists as a plugin, think it was made by the guys who did the original APB one (not 100% certain though, i just hear rumours)
if they did FE with 3.5 well they already have done the customisation, so it's perfectly logical that they could implement it in. -
18 minutes ago, Snubnose said:isn't it pretty obvious that both is needed to properly test things?...
yes, you have to field-test things and not just look at the stats, but field testing with knowing what exactly you got in your hands is so much better.
otherwise sometimes you just don't know what's going on in certain situations if you lack information...
both is critical to proper testing. theory and practice.when people KNOW the difference they behave differently and this community is full of folks who will just flat out refuse to do a test if they THINK the numbers don't work for THEM, this is a Blind test, companies do it all the time, its a legitimate research method.

this is why i've always had a smooth experience in APB, overclock the shit out of my CPU regardless of requirement, last build was a Intel Core i5 4690K Processor (3.5 GHz, 6 MB Cache, LGA1150 Socket) which i have overclocked to 4.5ghz (a quick google shows i could get it to 4.9ghz) couple with decent ram and an SSD, ive never had a single issue playing APB, even from RTW days i had a core duo overclocked to 4ghz...
so i've only been saying this for about 9 years ... -
15 hours ago, illgot said:You mean like temporary weapons used for holiday events? It is not impossible and we barely have enough people for 2 full districts on Joker.
i dont think they are temporary... like the snowball cannon and all that? they are just available at certain times, if its the ones with random mods, that's purely the mods that do it.
i'm not saying it's impossible, but i bet it's a lot more work than spinning up a district with a slightly different weapon set, since THAT already exists as a function in the server. -
43 minutes ago, illgot said:Would be better if they mailed everyone these test weapons to test in the actual districts. Splitting our all ready tiny population more is a bad idea
It's done like this because the district has the weapon information, its server based, so you'd have to make multiple variants of the same weapon to be able to mail them to everyone, which would cause a headache further down the line
-
Oh look a thread that says "we are putting these here to test, please test them" which is followed by people saying "these changes suck" despite not testing it ...
it's almost as if everyone wants things to change for the better but purely want to rely on incomplete information to perfectly balance everything ...
just test and give actual feedback back and then LO will adjust things again and eventually we will have a whole load of perfectly balance weapons that we can all enjoy or you could could all moan about everything that ever gets given to you, miserable sods.-

enfo rank 290 is kinda meh but the rest are okay
anyways nice job!
yeah i was unsure about the 280 and 290 icons.
but i like to think of it as an overall improvement, since the original icons get more stars or diamonds then one big one or something special, then Reloaded just made up a bunch of random icons, which actually could have suited for the base of at least the next 5-10 rank sets ... -
not that it matters, but i just felt like doing it...

1 hour ago, Lign said:I think they have to implement something similar to innova. On innova every month players with the highest score points in action districts get a big amount of jt. It would be a good feature to make players busy and working on something while we're waiting the new engine
system already exists ... its how they gave out prizes in RTW before G1 scrapped it.
Clans and Players have or at least HAD a score that was tracked, weekly and possibly monthly (i cant remember now) and you would get a mail with an item, better you did the better the prize pool your item came from, i tended to sell them on the market for premium currency.
SOOoooo logically, if the code is still there, re-enable it and the scoreboard, dump out the JT's as prizes. -
11 hours ago, VickyFox said:That is the idea, concept and intention.
...But this is Little Orbit which are a new company that is foolish to make the same mistakes repeatedly. And the engine upgrade to unreal engine 3.5, To some would describe using such words such as elusive, mythical or even a lie!
Call it as I see with with Little Orbit. If at all, It won't be tested enough to the point of glitches needing a patch and Matt Scott making a statement... again!
As for the phasing itself, Well Unreal Engine 3.5 is going to be tested, Phasing however is a completely new concept that would completely change matching making in a way that has never been done before in APB.
$5 says that servers will go down multiple times an hour, and not because of demand from high populations numbers or DDoS attacks.
Are you actually DarkZero? you seem very pessimistic about this.

24 minutes ago, Hexerin said:No. There is literally no valid argument for locking such a feature behind a paid service.
depends who you talk to, a financial director would argue that there is a very reasonable reason, probably something along the lines of "to pay for everything"
JT's for wins would be great, more JT's for wins if you had premium would be nice too.
not locked behind a paid service, but improved by it, because why shouldn't people who pay to play have an easier time getting what they want from the game, otherwise bin premium completely as its totally pointless when you max your rank, might as well just make everyone level up the same speed and get the same rewards.

1 hour ago, Hexerin said:They really need to just tack on a JT reward to individual missions. Doesn't need to be much, something like 5-10 JT per mission would probably be fine for the average user to have a reasonable income towards the Joker Store purchases.

5 hours ago, VickyFox said:Rank only portrays the progress made in action district which means little, Threat is a bit of a red herring and match making is a total sh!tstorm of a mess...
Again, you said it yourself that rerolling undermines matchmaking and threats. If people are willing to put constant continued effort into dethreating and staying bronze, a 5 minute job of making a new account must be like an investment!
OP seems to just swap 1 Fuster Cluck for another. I don't see how this simplifies, compensates, mitigates or really addressing of the underlying problems or the more surface level issues.
I'm well aware what rank and threat are and mean, dont need to pretend you are giving anything new away here, as it stands matchmaking doesnt work, wont work, cant work until the EU happens, upon which point a selection of technologies will be unleashed.
until that happens, we have broken APB to deal with, what we know is that you can spawn districts, we know you could in theory, limit who can join districts based on certain things...
maybe if they could limit districts based on Account play time it would work much easier, but again, people could just make a "smurf" ... nothing stopping them doing it now, or in the future even if match making did work, the people who want to beat noobs will always want to do that, i guess they find it rewarding to punch invalids too...
you are right about the Fuster Cluck though
can't side step that issue atm, Just trying to work the system we have to make things a little more organised?? new players vs veteran players (even if the same actual skill) is a big no for player retention, in a game that looks like you are more powerful with a higher rank (new players will associate rank with level and level with having more op stuff)

2 minutes ago, Pangolier said:Wrong? The game wasnt better for everyone back then but popoulated enough and funny.
You cant know how to make a game better for everyone with a pop like this?
at this point i dont even know what you are saying any more...
my OP is about how LO could make life easier for EVERYONE for matchmaking purposes, not make the game easier, as in, make it less of a cluster buck than it is right now. -
27 minutes ago, Pangolier said:Getting matched with people of your own skill wont make you advance either...
Appealing to low skilled people and changing the game for them wont bring people back, and barely new.
that's exactly how it works!?
Match against people your skill level, beat them enough, your skill level goes up, match against people who were higher than you before, try to beat them, beat them, keep going up, that's literally how matchmaking should and does work...
it's not appealing to low skilled people, its changing the game so EVERYONE fights who they are SUPPOSED to fight in an effort to make the game BETTER FOR EVERYONE.
you have a bit of an obsession with "low skill players" if anything, you sound a bit too salty about this whole thing and i cant see a reason why you should be. -
12 hours ago, Pangolier said:Mostly silvers? After changing the game to appeal to that population? maybe. The game was and is designed for skilled people, and enoyable.
Statistically, its mostly silver, that was stated at the point the threat system changed and it completely obvious when you look at the distribution of districts, it's neither here nor there as the make up of the skill spectrum has no bearing on my actual idea, as if there are in fact more gold players then there would be more gold districts to play in, easy.
i also don't disagree with you that the game is designed for people who enjoy a challenge and put forward a decent amount of skill, the Bronze and Silver ranks are (personally speaking) just the stepping stones to get you prepared for the actual game (Gold) but there are people who are not as skilled as some who find it a challenge to be silver, some even find bronze a challenge, being "soft" has nothing to do with skill, its their attitude, i've seen plenty of high ranked golds who are "soft" . -

1 hour ago, Fayeth said:Sure I know about that, as I come up with this term with the correlation to the renowned and historical Bank-standing in Runescape among the global MMO community. It just gets on my nerves in the case of APB because the population here is way smaller than many MMOs and they are becoming a significant part of the playerbase, while other districts cry for missions and fight club participation.
Asheron's Call had a similar thing in what was essentially it's market town, a whole servers population could be there at any given moment, lagged the server so much they introduced something called "portal storms" which would teleport you randomly away to a different cluster, usually into a pile of monsters... stopped people going afk, but they used bots, SO they blew the town up with a meteor and everyone moved to a nearby dungeon (as dungeons were not instanced, but they were on different clusters) eventually they actually added a Market place to the game... but it was more fun when it was player driven.
tl:dr - shit was standard in MMO's back in the day.

wanted to say more because i read the rest of the thread
only logged in to second this
actually i'll do an edit
everyone is salty AF in here, clearly says that the work they have done has enabled them to create the tools they were missing in the first place, which was the whole point of the upgrade, so now they can actually do something with the engine (current) that they were previously unable to do.
it might come to nothing, but the only way they truly fail is if they give up completely and walk away (looking at you Behaviour Eternal Crusade Dev Team)
so the very fact that they are still willing to put up with all this bullshoot from you people, would suggest that they are either really passionate about the game or just as stubborn as the rest of you...
