    Why are you playing on bronze district, stomping new players and dethreating on purpose before leaving the game, then repeating the same action over and over? This was SURELY addressed countless times but honestly, I didn't read that much into it, but if there are people on this forum who are like this, tell me, what is the purpose of doing this? Because the bonus exp and cash for killing is what, 5% more than normal if you get 20 more kills on bronze and green players? What is the problem of playing on silver districts when you've already mastered APB to it's core, stomping people on the same level as you rather than new comers that might even stay with the game, if they wouldn't get their patootie kicked all the time by people with incredible skills that are supposed to be shown on SILVER districts (or gold, that is always a ghost town).

     

    I also have cranked that 3k hours mark but i'm bad at shooters, so I stick with bronze, I just love the idea of APB and i'm playing it with friends from time to time. I like grouping up with new players that can somewhat grasp english and show them how exactly this game works, some ropes, advices, etc. and say "hey, it can be bad at the start, but later on it gets better when YOU get better" (and then everybody clapped). 

     

    I honestly wish for these old 2012-2014 APB times to comeback, with old main menu login screen, where everyone was usually bronze and silvers weren't fake golds.

    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.

    If you have made email/password or 2FA changes you automatically get a 7 day lock from each type of trade.

    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

    It's because people like you never see the real issues of the game. The game is shit because the current content we have is SHIT, weapons, cars, missions, players, map BALANCE is all clusterfuck.

    I am not talking about creating new content because what we currently have is fucking gismo !

    And don't tell me they couldn't fix few lines in code here and there without breaking something on the old engine to make the game more enjoyable.

    Instead of making the ENgine update top priority, and fucking us over with PS4 release, it would be much better and healthier for the game community and it's players, to address BALANCE issues of various kinds years ago.

    Like, here's what players are complaining about, lets delay entire engine for 6-12 months and put resources to fix what we can to keep players and salvage the game, giving us time to work on the engine. So even without the real new content that cannot be creating easily on the old engine, we would have a current content of the game in MUCH BETTER shape and maybe citadel would have more than one fucking district to play at.

     

    Have you seen yesterday beta? It was a fucking disaster, I don't even want to tell how much they fucked up with logging so players couldn't actually even try. I am talking about 60 FPS when there is more than 10 people in the map, and GLOBAL stutter drops to 20FPS when anyone joins district. It's outrageous. It will take months if not years to fix this shit, meaning we have old content that's not properly balanced in any way that will have to keep players in the game. And I don't mind myself, I played for years and I love the game and I am used to its shit, but if new players leave in two days, soon there won't be even one district to play.

    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!

    To be honest, engine update is what doomed APB, for couple of years now, there are bugs, issues, imbalances of various kinds, thousands of community ideas, propositions, expectations that are not fulfilled because of "team being busy working on the update", while the players pool diminishes each and every day.

    Say, you deliver it, the game will feel smoother and I will get few extra FPS, it doesn't look that much better than RTW looked like and the core of game mechanics won't change for years to come, since you will be busy fixing thousands of issues after the patch.

    Looking from times perspective, I would rather have current engine that is patched to community carefully filtered demands and expectations, with fluid patches that take care of bugs, issues, complaints and bring balance across the board, and some day switch to new Engine, rather than play this shit that hasn't seen major patch in AGES, while we wait for miraculous engine update for years to come.

    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!

    You right fam, I guess Wikipedia knows more than Little Orbit when it comes to APB.

    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.

    Bruh, you dont need a boosting team, you legit just need one friend. Thats all it takes.

    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.

    MMO

    noun

    noun: MMO; plural noun: MMOs

    an online video game which can be played by a very large number of people simultaneously.

     

     

    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.

    Im sorry you don't have any friends, but that's hardly LO's fault. It is after all an MMO, so working with others is gonna be a thing.

    As far as "achievements that cant even be attained anymore but are still there", I have no idea what you mean.

    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.

    I don't think being able to use weapons from your Santa boxes is the right thing to do .

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    👍

    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.

    I am experiencing a behavior where i feel like i am alone but i am not. I'm stressing myself with no reason, i over think with small things, i feel like im too emotional everytime someone says something about me.


    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.
