  1. What is SWORD?

     

    SWORD - Special Weapons and Ordnance Response Division - is a new clan based on teamwork, fun and a non-competitive mindset. 

    The goal is to have a place for anyone to have someone to play with, regardless of ability.

     

    There is no RP but if individuals want to, then of course go ahead. 

     

     

    Leadership

     

    Leader: Elleanor

     

    Other leadership positions will be filled as of when.

     

     

    Looking to Join?

     

    Send a PM or ingame mail to Elleanor (Eileanor) and you'll be in ASAP.

    Once membership increases, a Discord server will be created to allow instant communication prior to joining as well as between members.

     

     

    I appreciate your time.

    Do other games crash? RTX 2080S is pretty common for crashing in APB. Some people are unlucky with the crashes.

     

    I would just not play the game until they upgrade to 64 bit.

    Nope, just APB. I just don't understand why it's all of a sudden, after months/years of being fine.

    But yeah, might just not play much if at all, depending on the next update my Matt Scott on their progress.


  3. R5 3600 & RTX 2080S

    3440x1440 monitor playing windowed 1920x1080.

    Not using Advanced Launcher.

     

    Multiple times a day, nearly always on a spawn screen the game crashes and opens up the crash report box. Audio bugs out, repeating the bleeping and the game window (frozen) will also stick around until manually closed.

    This only started happening since doing a fresh reinstall a few days ago, so not sure how it could be caused.

     Epinephrine is currently the #1 consumable, followed by Med Spray because Med Spray isn't effective when coupled with Clotting Agent.

    And here I am thinking Satchel is the best. Nothing beats blowing up a car full of people dead-set on running you over. Half-sarcastic, it's fun but Epinephrine is definitely the best.

    I'm not even sure if the engine update is worth the years of development they've put into it.

     

    If they ever do get it figured out, I feel like it might be too little too late, you know? Because the version of the Unreal Engine they're updating to is already way outdated too! Epics already got Unreal 5 going and APB is still trying to figure out Unreal 3.

     

    It would be interesting to know what the plan is beyond the engine upgrade,

    The other problem is that even after the engine update, they'll still have to add new content and start advertising to get rid of the negative reputation and draw old players back.

    All the engine update does it make it a lot easier to add new content, nothing much will actually change.

     


  6. Little Orbit. When people intentionally (or accidentally) drift there car and exit, they used to dsync for a second or two until everything caught up. You could shoot where you saw them and it would still translate to where they actually were, then you'd have to re-aim after it fixes.

    This was largely playable.

     

    However, recently it's been lasting upwards of 5 seconds, sometimes much longer. Having to hit something further away than it is, whilst your opponent has no such disadvantage, for that long is just wrong and unplayable when it happens. You can see them behind their own car, and think that you therefore can't hit them, when in fact you can, but you can't see their body, meanwhile they can see you perfectly because they're somewhere else.

     

    Are you aware of this issue? Do you have plans to fix it? Is it even easily fixed, or is this something that will plague the game for a long time?

     

    I sincerely hope you look into this as it isn't exactly a minor issue, or even a rare one.

  7. So I found this article: https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/descendent-studios-scores-big-win-in-descent-lawsuit

     

    It states that LO filed a lawsuit (in 2019) against another developer (Descendent Studios), which ended a few days ago, resulting in LO now having sole responsibility to develop the belated game...which they haven't done since November 2020.

    "The judge also pointed out that Little Orbit took several months [after November] to demand the game assets from Descendent Studios, a move that highlighted its apparent unwillingness to actually develop the game."

     

    However, whether they have the ability to develop another game at the same time as APB is not the question. "Finally, Descendent Studios raised a concern that Little Orbit lacked the necessary funds to actually pay them. The judge agreed with this assessment". They might not be able to afford it.

     

    Matt Scott. Why, when APB is already in the state its in, did you think you could develop another game alongside this? If you focused on APB from the start, and got it to a good state, then you could reasonably work on another project.

  8. 1) Servers are still pretty shit

    2) At least in Gold districts, there is enough population to get constant matches.

    3) I haven't tried it, but even before the buff/revert it was usable so I imagine it's perfectly usable for an average player.

    4) Yes, alongside the Pioneer.

    5) Ha.

     

    Re-install, play a few matches.

    You don't win nothing anyway being the first, so why would you be interested in knowing that?

    Kinda useless.

     

    Useless like those who say APB is competitive and play 3v3 in an empty gold action-district.

     

    Strange but i expect many dislikes, keep those coming haters and ch*lds. 😘

     

    P.S I tell you a secret

     

      Reveal hidden contents

     

    APB never been competitive

    I'm nether a "hater" or a child. I will however dislike purely because you just can't stand someone wanting to know something regardless of reason. It serves no purpose and so no one is allowed to ask? It's not about winning anything, it's mere curiosity.

    I love that this game doesn't have headshots so much. So, no thank you.

    Just this. With so many games that have guns that do varied damage depending which part of the body you hit, it's nice to have a game that focuses purely on hitting the target. No punish for hitting feet when getting shot in the head. It's non-meta and suits the game's style more than the suggested change. Especially with how so many bits of cover still reveal a small portion of your hitbox, namely the "head" area. If headshots were a thing, you'd get severely punished for choosing said cover. In the current system, the opponent would have to aim consistently and hit multiple times to kill you.

    I answered it as well. I was wondering if you could share the answers, I find some of the questions interesting.

    Has LO ever done such a questionnaire or poll to know what to work on next ?

    Nope, but it's something I've been hoping they'd do after the engine upgrade. I can't remember which game it was, but there's a company that does a poll for every patch, which they do often if just to fix a couple of bugs. It connects the playerbase to the developers and also lets the devs know what the company wants, and how well received changes were. Let's face it, the forums don't speak for the playerbase, and it tends to be the disgruntled that comment on posts. If they encourage said polls to be completed, for the benefit of the players, we might see better changes and things added/changed that LO had no idea about.
