i give him a week and a half tops!

been gold since 2013 with the occasional dethreats to silver due to inadequate randoms and me. but thats partly due to my fault for not finding a clan or community to play the game with for the longest time. but ive never been in a bronze district ever since CBT or the launch of the open beta testing. the problem youl find with the game is that gold districts offer no variety for competitive players. infact gold is stupidly easy to obtain while at the same time in 90% of situations youl be fighting the same 4-8 people ALWAYS. no matter if you wait 10 mins before readying up or if you ready up straight after a loss or win. you will start noticing strict patterns in the opposition youre playing with. and ofc youl get those competitive players that have the resolution stupidly low while the graphics looking like old 90's game. so ofc it makes sense that they would get sick and tired of fighting the same op. hence why de-threating is such a huge problem with the game. also because cheaters instantly get gold threat and thus fill silver districts thus they become majority of the opposition for alot of people. ive been playing the game on and off for a very long long time but after the whole no anti cheat for months after OBT launch. this problem has existed for years. it wasn't until maybe 4-5 years ago that the daily player pop dropped so low that it really cemented the issues that we see today.

forgot to come back and edit this topic. sorry for the long response. found out about 20 mins after posting this thread that its related to hardware changes or a protective system to stop account theft from stealing your in game items. i hadn't played since august of last year and logged on today and have a 4 day trade ban. asked in the discord and they clarified it to me! also i haven't made any adjustments regarding email or password / 2FA.. all still the same and 2FA is still in place

just wanting to confirm if anyone has the inability to purchase from the marketplace or is this issue only occurring with just me ???

i've played the game for 4k+ hours and have played since closed beta for months at a time on and off through out the years since the game went open. im very well aware whats wrong with the game.. don't sit there and say i don't know.. you're absolutely daft if you assume anything other than the engine upgrade is the real reason why the game is in your definition "shit" if you find it shit why you here. the engine upgrade needs to come ASAP otherwise coding for the game is going to get more hectic. scaling opportunity for the game wont improve. and more importantly easier debugging and engine tools will be available to use. you act like you've been waiting over a decade.. content isn't going to streamline or improve your performance on the PS4. or the xbox. did you play when APB came out of closed beta testing.. and it had absolutely 0 anti cheat software running for a good 6 months... your priorities are so wrong is baffling!

What you're saying doesn't make any sense, the engine update is the most critical stepping stone for the game to stay alive in the long run! no matter how much people suggest, Not only are you developing for a game thats over 8+ years old at this point. but the game is physically at its limit in what it can push for. bigger districts, more this or that etc etc and player numbers needs a better engine and server infrastructure improvements. its been left for so long that the games issues has spiraled into a plethora of critical issues. its a stepping stone process. and sadly with a small team. a dedicated community it will take time. hell most of us have waited years anyways whats it worth waiting another couple more!

APB finally coming out alpha and into beta.... its taken this long but gee golly its worth it... now beta for the next 2 decades before we get EU4 xD /s

description says it all!

New content... PepeHype!

dam straight also LO. LO never changed anything related to the description on the steam page. so you really expect G1 to know more about the games genre ? guess we gotta start calling some BR games MMO's just cause they allow 100 players to play together and interact.

one friend yes. but keep in mind that it varies alot from day to day. i had been on for 2 days playing for about 4 hours each asked in district multiple times while playing solo grouping if anyone wants to trade santa boxes. never got a response and this is with 30 odd each side for financial, and then the 3rd day for 2 and a half with a friend. i seen 1 request for a santa box be answered out of the 4 others that followed. i dunno if they got fulfilled. but i continued anyways to progress the achievement. others might have a worse time. as in barely might get any kills which further adds to time investment needed. which is fine as its a learning curve. yeah and its not a large number of people in the game or district hence why APB is not classified as a MMO. just a multiplayer game. so the point still stands! also i all somewhat answered your question indirectly above this.

are you seriously right now first and foremost. 1. this isnt a MMO. not even close to one. its a simple open world TPS multiplayer game. nothing more. i dunno where you are pulling MMO from. 2. why do you say "sorry you don't have any friends" as if thats a somewhat attempt to belittle someone or push aside the core fact that maybe people are forced to play solo. or the fact that maybe everyones friends have stopped playing same with clan members etc. server population will just keep getting worse and worse till the time that testing for the new engine update comes along and is nearing release. so remind me again why team based achievements should be a driving focus to get people to work together when most if not a good majority are just solo queuing for opposition.

neither do i but then barely anyone wanting to do it can do it because of population issues. you have to keep in mind the population has dipped back down to roughly what it used to be before the LO take over. meaning team based achievements for events such as this which requires santa boxes to be dropped from team mates or friendlies etc is getting all to rare to see if not ever. even if you ask nicely

awhh man now i feel like a pure pleb. dont you worry man you relax. and get some time to enjoy yourself. you are doing great i pwomise. you are hubby bubby! PS. where is slim ?

that sad feeling when youve been on TS for the past 2 days......

6/10 thought it was nice and relaxing but semi on the flip side of trying to enjoy the guys voice

so right now in game for the xmas event the "Ho Ho Ho achievement 2018" to put it simply is extremely difficulty if not impossible to do. not in the sense that santa boxes are not dropping or what have you. but the fact the game is just soo starved of population that most couldn't really give 2 F's about either partaking in the achievement or helping others progress the achievement. @MattScott this isnt me taking digs at bad design. i completely understand why its meant to be like this as it has been like ever other year with the santa boxes. but with such a low pop and barely any interest either because they have done it themselves or people are in the same situation i am which i feel is a very very small minority. they cant 100% complete the event. wouldn't it be more fitting to allow santa boxes to be opened by their owner ? because as it has standard played for 2 days and found 0 interest in people dropping santa boxes. its just food for thought for future events. regards -DiBBz

man i completely forgot about the retail boxes. dug through my closet and lo and behold i found 2 of my old cases xD

this is a good refresher for what we have had after all these years. but even tho the problems with constant district DC's there are 2 major problems with this 1. the games heavily toxic and grief inspired community. no denying it. there are a crap ton of griefers in all teams. they set out to destroy barrels. and while im glad friendly fire is off. why is friendly fire on vehicles still on. people just running around with volcano's and osmaws blowing friendly vehicles to the max. 2. even if the above problem was taken care of. there is no dedicated team based voice chat. because who the fuck uses vivox these days with the 6 district DC's ive had thus far and about 11 games played its as quite as ever. only means of talking is in chat and even then no one cares. it might just be food for thought but team based objectives like this doesnt work out all that well with considering what APB has become. its either pure deathmatch to advance a teams score or its more death-match to get event prices. i still applaud you LO tho for trying and being creative and trying to utilise the district space and player size

sound like the 80-90's music and i cant make out a word they are saying but il keep neutral 5/10 not to recently came to knowing a new band that im quite liking.

its good that you took the time to address this issue. i know people think that with new management dealing with the game that means they can get straight to user suggestions.. which might be the case if a game where left in such good condition that content was all it needed. but APB has been lacking and running poorly in many fields that its understandable why suggestions might not fit in correctly with whats being worked on right now or other priorities. but the acknowledgement that yous do read suggestions is enough for people to understand that their thoughts and ideas are being seen by devs. hopefully once the massive mess the game has been left in, is all cleared up. more content and additions either from the devs itself or suggestions on the forums can be put to priority in figuring out and implementing etc.

i think quite a few people here enjoy tripping on something while watch some of "These" music videos 5/10 pretty neutral. dont really enjoy it but dont really hate it

hmmm something like that typically isn't something that commonly happens. i agree with the people above you in that, professional help is probably the best way to go. talking about this issue with family or close friends might also help understand why. for me for example i get anxiety for some odd reason just heading to the town centre or going to an appointment but as soon as i head out the door im all good and dont have the uneasiness in my stomach. however something like this isn't commonly reported by people with anxiety. and thus thats why i agree with statements above. book an appointment either online via a free course or somewhere in/near your city. i lost a cousin due to severe anxiety issues that causes mental instability with her and she ended up hanging herself. now every person is completely different especially in mental states but im only providing you a picture of how some minor things you say to people might spiral out of control for them. its reasons why this i dont want to interfere with someones state of mind that could spiral them into severe issues like depression etc. having satisfactory comfort and assurances from online forums like here or reddit might help for the short period of time but professional help will help understand the root cause of the random behaviour. for example. just to give you a rough idea. "behaviour where you feel like you are alone but not" thats fear / doubt of something / someone that would cause you to feel lonely. pretty common for a good majority of people in the world. "Stressing myself out with no reason" & "To emotional everytime someone says something about me" its these two combinations however that i dont want to trend on. if you want to take CBD extract / oil thats personally up to you as i have no knowledge on the subject. however given past research CBD has been known to help with anxiety overall. please dont take this as me giving you the go ahead tho. do research and make your own judgement. because it could either help or like zombie said it could drastically make it worse.
