Maybe if we get some players there could be some ranked . In the end apb does have some tactical game play. Like switching to weapons which suits the environment better, push or not, how you defend/complete the objective, etc. Or one guy with a sniper and the other with the fwb secondary ftw. Think only real issue with ranked atm is.. You'll face the same over and over again. Maybe if you turn off crim v enfo in ranked it would give a higher variation. (and some more ranked friendly missions?)

Even with a low population the matchmaking could be a lot better if it takes more things in account and prioritize different groups above other groups. Like if you call for back-up it doesn't spawn a team of 2 gold players, but instead prioritize other groups first during a certain duration before inviting that group. Search from narrow to wide instead of just adding whatever pressed 'K'. Average % of k/d and w/l which gives you a number would also filter out low gold and high gold. "you'll fight the same players" you'll do that anyway. I prefer to fight the same around my skill level over unfair matches.

Guess it could be done if you count k/d and w/l together and this gives you a certain rank point. Now if it matches you up against people who are around your rank level. If it would searches from narrow to wide (in case of few people online) and it would matches you against someone with a high rank it should prioritize a high rank once you call for back-up. Visa-versa of course. And maybe prioritize other players before selectings a premade team.

Hm.. you could check if you can change the route which your data is send to the server. With a little google I think you'll find a guide. Otherwise no clue what the issue could be besides shitty internet.

It's not just the weapon,true. But the 'meta weapons' do certainly help in killing faster.. if in the right hands of course.

Can be a combination of 5k hours playtime and the use of a dot, certain shaders which allow you to see more, lije thru smoke. Mastered the time to shoot (or use the mouse wheel to shoot) and the use of meta weapons. And team play, advanced launcher and blabla. You can go on.

As the title says. It's easier to find and keep track of updates notes and (important) news. Also, it makes the announcement tab not as useless as it's at the moment. (and looks more professional I guess?)

Somehow I got the feeling people want 12 deaths of xmas back. It's just a feeling, tho.

I wonder how they keep up messing things like this. One should think that especially in the current state of the game they at least try to do the events right. The old engine can't be the excuse for everything.. or blaming other things.

Issue with more threat levels is the low player base. Now you'll have often 2 full districts and maybe one half full.. If you make more threat levels you'll have a bigger spread between servers and thus less people to play against. BUT I do have a suggestion myself: -Keep the no threat segregation. "why?" servers are more full and often you'll have more variation in fights. HOWEVER.. In order to make this work; fix that matchmaking. Then no threat segregation should be fine. -"but what about that good ol' gold on green?" make a proper working tutorial district. Where you keep the new people untill a certain level/skill level. Unless they go to the advanced tab of course. -ranked? I mean in most games ranked matches attract people. Like in many games max a group of 2 can join, so you wont get full pre-made teams. Get some different threat tiers.. To sort the so called "pro gold" and the "lucky silver player whom got gold by chance." (and visa versa for the other threats.) and get some rewards depending where you ranked at the end of the season. Also, if you don't play matches you should lose your rank.

The thing about aces rifle is.. It's not close nor mid range. It's not a sub machine gun, so it's logical the sub machine guns out perform this weapon. Still it's a very strong rifle with some decent accuracy. Played right it can be very strong. But..it can use some tweaking. Like a faster reload time, 40 bullets in a mag or something like this.

Don't you worry guys. It will be back up in 2 weeks. So, you can get your yearly shower

You forgot the testing. A week should do

Funny how people defend the use of a macro. It does give you the perfect interval between shots to tap fire perfectly or to shoot a bit faster. All you need to do is aim. And if that's not a decent argument.. You use a program to help you in the game, which is sort or cheating and takes away human mistakes.

It does greatly improve the weapon. Makes it feel like a different weapon type. And the downside is more bloom.. which has almost no effect as you tap fire with pretty much every gun anyway. And up close it doesnt matter because you only full auto when you hug.

I feel like weapons would be so much more balanced without ir3. It gives weapons a decent range buff with almost no downside. As you tap fire with most weapons, which neglect the bloom debuff. Personally I feel it gives certain weapons the extra range needed, which makes them a 'different' weapon type which they aren't supposed to be. Ps. Not saying it should be removed, but it should be changed.

I'm 1.86 and often feel small. Where to life to show my superiority and be the alpha male by being tall?

Sst, ssst. Let the forum die like the game

Oke, maybe no npcs. But some dynamic events could give players a bit more to do and it is a nice little break between missions

I understand the auto reply on bug reports and hacker reports. They acknowledge it's received and most likely send it to the right person or ignore (if it's not worth their time). However character or payment issues, or things alike, shouldn't get an auto reply.

Don't nerf the ntec as its a fine weapon. Just buff the other 'weaker' weapons.

I think world bosses for special rewards for (maybe buff crafting??) Could be something cool

It should be a mod. With some re-balancing. Would be a great extra addition to the loadout

Do the missions in the starter towns, they usually learn you the basics! Also, try region chat or whatever to find some people. Global 1/2 (like a whole server chat) becomes available after your first purchase. Which can be free if you do a few surveys, it's an easy way to get in contact with people.

I think FE can get back up it's feet. It is an easy game to get into and it has a wider range of potentional players, because it feels like a "shooter". Graphic wise it looks okish, I don't think that it will bother a lot of people. Just needs some attractive content and some good marketing. And of course some stable servers and a bit more optimized gameplay.
