You should also try to be more objective. A lot of things that they added was already mostly done be the RTW team (just like the fight club you mentioned). Even after they reworked the matchmaking several times it was still in a lot of cases really bad. Adding new contacts was a nice thing, but things like car spawners, low-yield fragmentation grenades, blowtorch, remote detonator were so poorly planned out, i don't understand what were they thinking... Why are you talking about events that happen only couple days a year, what about the other 300+ days? They are also really boring, because of too much grinding. If you have more than one character you had to do it multiple times (how fun). Also players always found a way to abuse glitches, use op spots to camp... Console port is so bad i'm surprised it even got any players. The f2p with p2w weapons concept might sound better than paying a monthly subscription, but let's talk about facts. You cheat for a long time in a f2p game and get banned, after making a new account 5 minutes later you can already be back in the game. Having p2w weapons make the game extremely unbalanced!

RTW made the game, even though it was not perfect it had great potential. What did G1 do? Add P2W weapons, Joker boxes (we want more money so we made a lottery) and later on add even more overpowered weapons to the marketplace. It's clear they didn't want to invest in the game, they just wanted to get money from it!

Considering that you need a good processor and not a good graphic card if you want to have decent fps in this game, most people would not benefit from implementing AMD FidelityFX

There's no point in doing another Q&A if they have no news and i'm sure their roadmap is staying the same, except that everything is indefinitely delayed

Matchmaking never worked good in this game, nowadays when population is low it's even more unbalanced as before. In my opinion it's never a good idea in a game where teamwork is so important to put premade groups against solo players. The fact that premade groups in most cases have experienced good players, while solo's can be low tier silvers, brozes...even trainees is mind-blowing. But even when premade groups are faced against new players they for some reason play competitively. I'm not saying you should lose the mission, but cut them some slack, it's not going to be the end of the world if you are going to have 10 kills instead of 20! Good players also don't like playing solo because they find random players not good enough for their liking, they often even try to kick bad players so they have a bigger chance of winning. It's not that solo's want to play alone, it's just hard to find people in a dead game. A lot of people who still play are veteran players. They only group up with people they know, even if you are a decent player they don't give you a chance. In general people who play this game are too much competitive. I came to a conclusion life is too short to be stressed out because of some silly game, so it's better to not play and uninstall. I still sometimes check the forum, but even the forum is as boring as the game. When players constantly make new threads about the things that have been discussed 100x times before. In the end i'm going to mention Dirty Bomb. In this game you could group up with your friends only if you played ranked. In casual matchmaking it often happened that your friends were on the other team. Sure if the teams didn't have the same amount of players you could change team and join your friends or vice versa. But if this happened you could really see how much unbalanced the teams got. Without grouping up with friends it really killed the fun sometimes, but if the teams were unbalanced the game was even more boring.

You probably mean EOL (Deep Impact, The Hammer, Kickback)?

You have been playing the game for over 8 years, play in bronze districts and complain about it. No problemo we will remove everybody who is max rank out of there, you included

If the game would run decent on most computers, players wouldn't have to use configs. I wouldn't say the fps is a big problem, but the annoying stuttering is. You are in the middle of a fight, all of a sudden you have a millisecond stutter and are instantly dead. It's impossible to enjoy playing a game if you have constant problems like this.

I completely agree that weapons in APB should have more recoil and less bloom. When playing the game it just feels like killing another player is mostly based on rng, which i'm strongly against. But leave Tommy gun out of this, even now when the recoil was reduced the weapon still lags behind OCA and other smgs and has the highest recoil in the game! I also agree LO should take a look at the weapons that never get used. Meta weapons always get all the attention, while some weapons never get noticed and i don't even understand why they are in the game

I'm surprised they still did nothing about dethreating, this should have been their first priority. There would be a lot more players playing this game if new players had a server where they could learn to play. Also new players that stick around tend to buy stuff so they bring money to the company which is essential for the game to survive

The game could be a lot more enjoyable if LO made more little changes. Matchmaking was always broken so i understand why this can't be fixed so fast or never, but things like car spawners and spawn points could be adjusted, some parts of the map also. I never noticed how annoying grenades are, i guess because players didn't get good at using them overnight. Since at that time i played this game all the time it was normal to me, but now when i occasionally play it i'm just bothered by all this nade spam. Would also prefer if missions had attack and defend stages for both teams

It has happened to me multiple times when i wanted to play that i spend over 10 minutes trying to get into a district but then gave up and played a different game. I don't think a queue would even be a good thing anymore. It could still take a long time to get into district, imagine being like 30 on the list. Except if they would make it like this, when there would be a lot of players in the queue they would put them in a new district. They could have also made possible that players from different district could played against each other We can dream but i'm sure nothing is going to change/happen

Let's be honest, you would be a shit friend if you would recommend a game like APB:Reloaded to your friends

You are forgetting one thing! When LO acquired this game they stated the engine upgrade is almost done and should be live in couple months. This was more than two and a half years ago and people are still waiting. In the meantime on the live version nothing big has really changed

Removing smoke and fire also has a disadvantage which nobody ever talks about. The vehicle might seem normal on the outside, but if you remove fire you might not notice that it's actually on fire. It can explode when you are near it or inside it. If you remove smoke you will have a lot harder time seeing O-PGL, OSMAW projectiles and grenades. Sadly it seems explosions, smoke and fire are the ones that give the worst fps drops in the game so i understand why some use it, but at the same time i agree that it should all be bannable. LO stated that Advanced Launcher is ok, but other things are bannable. Strangely players keep using custom configs on stream and are not getting banned, so i don't understand why they even said it's bannable in the first place
