My entire rant about this is here: So I guess nothing really to add. Just freaking do your shit.

Buy 10 wins for 2000 G1C now! There are OPGLs and OSMAWs dropped around map as primary weapons, the fact that they possesed them is probably because they found them. Even I used OPGL and OSMAW few times there. ^ Can you blame me? You win game but game said "no".

Should I be concerned? Don't want FairFight round 2.

Oh btw. I'm gonna add few new complaints and fix to my complaint after playing today: What is wrong with RIOT: Bribing stage. You killed every enemy team? TOUGH LUCK. This who bribed most auto-win! (The fuck was this shit? I won for FIRST time since 3 days. But game said I didn't. Why? Because they bribed driver HIGHER. How does it even make sense?! Corpses gonna drive out from zone?! And who gonna carry them?! Team which lost?! Lore-wise, function-wise and fairness-wise this is idiotic as hell.) 16 people TO START (Yeah, good luck keeping this gamemode alive after month. FC dies because there are only 2-3 people always missing to start it and you want to keep regulars at RIOT? Ha. Good joke. Quick glance at will.io/apb and they will resign.) Three easy achievements and one impossible (You all though wins gonna be easy to achieve, right? Ten fucking wins. Are you mad? And all of it JUST for 100 JTs.) ~ (Sidenote: I'm gonna farm this achievement so badly by rigging RIOT and I dare you to ban me. Credibility is lost. I see people rigging up this thing already for wins. Congratulations.) Clarification to one of complaints: Bribing at the end (Excuse me... why we even collect that cash... if "bribing" means bribing with non-existent cash in king-of-the-hill style? - encourage camping at finale zone as well) - after investigating it longer, it turns out bribes come from team account.

What's up with developers not listening to customers in this years? Developer: "Hey, we listen to customer feedback" Customer: "Alright, well honestly you need to fix this and this and I think you gonna have twice population" Developer: "Battle Royale" Customer: "What? No. It wo-" Developer: "Too late. Released it now" *Customer leaves*

That's pretty good bait title I would say. But preview feature betrayed you.

That explains why it felt like AA... IF <- I start to distrust LO honestly on that one. This looks very similiar. I feel sorry for you NA players. Not like we saw it coming though. Population won't come back after leaving, just to play dubious BR (and most likely all people who left us in past, don't bother to look APB up at all) I tested it on 2 laptops and 2 stationary PCs. Stationary PCs are generally way more stable. Laptops for some reason are more likely to crash (probably something with power limits (if you turn off power limits etc. your laptop still uses at best 80% of stationary power due to fact that laptop would overheat badly at bigger power.)). Even ignoring RIOT. Just look at this blatant population. Just look at it. That's all proper suggestions. Some I covered. It's hard to not see future when everything goes so predictable - you spend years in this community and you see this shit on total repeat. Yep. Fight club expansion would make more sense. RIOT actually should've been incorporated into FC (instead of replacing FC with RIOT). BR in Asylum with RIOT devices and huge teams would be more fun. Random rewards instead of fixed ones. Do some pool of random items or JTs. And if I get one more consumable mail I'm gonna explode. I got 200 pages of mail of consumables! 200 PAGES!

You announced BR - despite nobody even asking for it. You tested BR - and decided to ignore most of suggestions. You released BR... and it turned out exactly as "pessimists" like me expected. Awful. Badly done. Unfinished. Done against will of community. What is so bad in it?: Big clans groups dominating, solo players. (For me personally, biggest offense. It was risen as possible issue by me back then. You said your team gonna fix it @MattScott. My proposition was to randomize team despite groups. You didn't make sure that will be thing in the end. Now being solo in this game is punishment.) Cheaters teams which prevent you from winning. (Above issue + EAC at work ladies and gentlemen) Small population essentialy kill chances of winning ever (If I run in the same groups six times despite changing matches... something ain't right in that BR, right?) Boredom between fights. (Finding loot zzz...) Boredom between matches. (Waiting for team to die, loading, eventually crashing, waiting for it to verify files and joining game again ._. ... I can't even make that up...) Crashes (the weaker the PC, the bigger the chance - users of low-end and medium-end PCs be aware). Bad spawn system (Near border of non-contaminated zone is fine but way too often I spawn in gas half-way across map, with no possible chance to even reach desitination - even then borders usually are camped by other team. + Separation from teams while spawning + If I pay for respawn... why I don't have choice WHERE to respawn?) Bribing at the end (Excuse me... why we even collect that cash... if "bribing" means bribing with non-existent cash in king-of-the-hill style? - encourage camping at finale zone as well) - after investigating it longer, it turns out bribes come from team account. Locked finale zone (The fact that you can localize finale zone (just look for zone which have no RIOT device) - means that teams are bound to camp on it, while others who do RIOT devices can do shit) Legging it across map (Boring. Boring. BOOOORING. Stray cars on the street. Too much to ask? Why even put OSMAW or LMGs, if you don't plan to put in usable vehicles?) The fact that all RIOT devices don't self-activate over some time. (Self-explanatory. That moment when all teams are in finale zone but one of RIOT devices isn't activated somewhere between 3 zones near finale one - if RIOT devices would self-activate randomly after some time... this wouldn't be a problem.) Lack of any background sounds or music + Sounds from normal APB like in action which don't fit in deserted San Paro environment (adds to boredom and kills mood of this BR) Incomplete tutorial (Sure. 4 steps... what about more? Like bribing stage is not explained...) Respawns on it's own (with connection of bad spawn system - honestly? I would prefer permadeath. At least it would be more fair to me and others... and would let me search other game instead of dying few times in row because I can't find any serious weapon in finale stage.) Strange lore (This is first time where lore made little sense to me. Lead me to believe that this was even more rushed that you want us to believe.) Very repetitive gameplay. (Honestly after 10 matches... I felt pretty much bored. Even FC is less repetitive in feel - and that's achievement taking FC is usually TDM or capture the point in huge group of people) Weapon roles don't count in RIOT (Honestly... just why? Makes little sense in this BR.) Bribing stage. You killed every enemy team? TOUGH LUCK. This who bribed most auto-win! (The fuck was this shit? I won for FIRST time since 3 days. But game said I didn't. Why? Because they bribed driver HIGHER. How does it even make sense?! Corpses gonna drive out from zone?! And who gonna carry them?! Team which lost?! Lore-wise, function-wise and fairness-wise this is idiotic as hell.) 16 people TO START (Yeah, good luck keeping this gamemode alive after month. FC dies because there are only 2-3 people always missing to start it and you want to keep regulars at RIOT? Ha. Good joke. Quick glance at will.io/apb and they will resign.) Three easy achievements and one impossible (You all though wins gonna be easy to achieve, right? Ten fucking wins. Are you mad? And all of it JUST for 100 JTs.) ~ (Sidenote: I'm gonna farm this achievement so badly by rigging RIOT and I dare you to ban me. Credibility is lost. I see people rigging up this thing already for wins. Congratulations.) What is so good in it?: ...I guess pretty much nothing... Oh wait. JTs and Yakuza skin (Looks very good). What this gamemode remind you of?: ...Autumn Assault... Seriously. Start to work on it and addressing at least SOME of this issues. This gamemode is already on it's path to death. Just as expected by me. Hope you take it to heart and fix it. Because honestly? After all this rant I think it got potential... but this issues must be addressed and I mean ASAP.

That does sound like very functional BR, yes. /s Dunno why this devices don't activate on their own after some time...

I want to play RIOT tomorrow. Does it drop JTs? If yeah... then I don't care. If it don't. Then... But honestly... I don't think RIOT gonna be ever alive if requirements to even start game are so high in it. FC should stay, despite it's cancer. (I just showed my own self-interest and focus - which is JT tickets. I agree about "FC remaining" points tho. - FC got more sense than RIOT. Out of blue some company does battle royale with APB factions. Yeah. No.)

Shhh don't give them ideas or we gonna be back in OBT.

I hope so. Since 2017 I had to tamper with priority in task manager and disabling Vivox to get decent 60 FPS. Funny fact: Back in 2013 (hardware didn't even changed from what I have) - I had 100 FPS on high.

That doesn't sound like it's intended as it didn't happen before patch... Of course i'm against it.

You mean in task manager? Great. That really won't help FPS in my case. 30-40 FPS, here we go again.

I try it casually on some different character. Might drop in next week if it's more fun than FC at it current state.

Just to clarify before I vote. We talk about legendary boxes which you drop as consumables or some unintended bug I'm not aware of yet?

It's still better than what was happening in Christmas and snowstorms respawns.

I guess idea for hazmat suits is to give chance of getting out from contaminated zone and that alone. In Christmas event at the end you often spawned in zones with no possible way to get out, I remember back then earning several free deaths. And that was with cars. Where in RIOT unless you find car you are on foot. Second idea why would be possibility of abusing hazmat suits. I already imagine some players would stay in contaminated zone with a lot of hazmat suits, wait it up until finale, drop into zone and claim win on weakened remaining team. In APB if you give players finger, they bite whole hand. I guess LO figured out this two things might be the case (or maybe it was unintentional side-effect since hazmat suits occupy deployables spot).

No That's not how threat system works. Noticed we get points for a while? They count the most in whatever you are gold or bronze. Pretty known fact for all dethreaters out there. Threat system needs rework and adding additional "colors" further problems left by old G1. They had chance back in few years. What changed? I leave it to imagination but I always pointed this problems out... cheaters, furthering gap between F2P and paying players, try-hard population + toxic, dethreaters. Oh also. If gold premades really want, they can mess up with silver and "lower tier golds" anyway by just dethreating... Bah if they really want they can even mess with greens and still be on "even terms". What's stopping them? Oh great. So reward for being in diamond is... punishment! That won't push dethreating problem further, isn't it? Let's not talk about trash streamers because honestly. My blood boils since many of them clearly dethreats before hand, gets back into gold and then streams with their friends. I mean no other way to have that many silvers in one matches if you aren't in bronze server.

I foresee it's either become as populated as FC (5 hour high pop, rest of day empty) or become total flop (empty, dead, occasional players... maybe) aka. second Open Conflict.

At least LO is DelayTM company, unlike G1 with it SoonTM.

Most of unbans were related to FairFight bans. Neverthless, good luck. And either don't do that stupidity again... or quit lying.

You didn't really read what I wrote, did you? I praise the old times which gave me opportunity to learn. But people hated being teamed up with anyone weaker than them. So we got threat segregation. And what this high-threat pissers do now? Dethreat, because they can't stand heat in their own class and make miserable live of people who are in their own threat. That's what I despise - it makes this game insufferable for anyone new. And "skill" - nobody start with understanding of game which learning curve is pretty high and not very well explained in tutorial plus you don't start with peak performance playing some random patootie games. Most of newbies approach are "for fun", not "for grind".

Some "high-skill" players dethreat to chase after low-level low-skill ones. How are you supposed to learn in that conditions? Also not all of them will become "good" but does it really matter? Every game got policy of welcome doors for people of all kind of skills but in APB it's like taboo - you either need to be good or quit game. You guys are lunatics. I remember when we got total scramble back in 2013 if you gone solo. It was awesome - you could really learn game and even if some guy gave you trouble, you focused on others... most likely team will have him covered. We got mix of good and bad - how it supposed to be. But no. People moaned over it. So they put threat restrictions. And there was a lot of warnings from everyone that people will just dethreat. Nobody listened. Now it's 2019. You are good enough to be in gold and hold it? Dethreat. Join bronze and stomp this newbies to ground! Then verbally abuse them! Let them feel salt!!! Been with reroll in January on bronze district. Gap is way too great for newbies and honestly I don't want APB as elitist game cause this "elites" leave one by one each day. Also newbies bring some sanity into game.

Funny enough a lot of this issues were mentioned by me even before OTW Public when we tested connection. I smell flop all around.
