sunk cost fallacy. people have put time and probably some money into game and it would be a waste to not continue playing when they spent so much time playing it

your cpu is the issue

pretty sure all u miss is the population and i dont blame u fighting the same 4 people anytime you play is really boring

idk i tried playing the other nite and fought against someone who had bad ping so its either read about people bitching about shit here or playing a game where you die behind walls because high ping boi's shots register after youre behind cover xd

no it wasnt population hasnt increased at all either so threat segregation or not nothing has changed xd

sure sure let me know when apb has fancy sponsored pro teams or whatever

im meaning competitive by the mean of it being used for tournaments and shit, not whether or not people think its a competitive game. game wasnt developed to be competitive at all. it was developed as a cooly cops vs robbers game with a similar style to gta. do not belive the delevopers even thought about a competitive scene at all considering the time it was developed such comeptitive shit was relegated to league of legends and csgo. if little obit wanna change the game i dont care, however if they want to push for so much change they might as well just develop a new game lmao because everyone will see apb as a failed game and then see this weird new version and go 'what the fuck lol' and move on to look for a game with a different name.

lol people think apb is a competitive shooter let me know who is in the top 'apb teams' and then tell me its a competitive shooter competitive shooter in games implies people can compete for winnings or actual tournaments lmao apb is no where near competitive. the fucking missions arent even asymmetrical lmao

dont expect phasing to work as it does in other games. this is apb we are talking about. plus the population wont even handle such phasing unless it ignores the NA/EU servers and then you will just end up fighting people of your skill level from different regions which means higher ping opposition or team mates. and apb servers are shit

If they fixed matchmaking instead of separating districts by threat and decreasing the playerbase there wouldnt be any problems other than those people who roll over bronze players and hit gold and then pretend to be shit just to dethreat. you either play in waterfront or fin with no choice unless you are silver lol

that implies people actually have schedules in europe ive been to europe there is no schedule

more like people bitching about no population lol

could use the population. not like anything will be that different other than playing with people of similar ping, BRs and europeans can fight with similar difference in ping. plus we dont have a real cheater issue as bad as european considering jericho is so dead no one bothers to 'cheat.' pls come we need population ok? you come play yes

dont think i actually play the game long enough to dethreat into bronze dunno what this pyschology thing is but if that is true then when you respond does that mean you feel attacked? :^)

"i havent played in X many time because of no segregation" most of the people who have said that shit I have seen dethreat in silver and run to bronze. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

these are the same people who demanded people remove the 'remove from team' function. and look at it now, people bitching about afk people in their missions or complaining that people abandon missions because they dont wanna carry shitties ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

im concerned people think threat segregation is actually keeping people from playing. you wont see anyone really 'come back' when they finish the network stuff for the europeans. The population is the same as it has been for NA. lol

im amazed there are people against tracers. i mean fuck dude. radar only shows so much of the area when an opponent is trying to snipe you. easier when you can see where he shooting from. would also make more sense as to why people use silenced weapons in the first place. silencer otherwise is completely useless

Fuck, just returning drug mule and other ambient events but allowing people to be forced into missions would decrease people leaving just because of wait times.

I normally keep mine full because certain player's themes aggravate my tinnitus and I don't like the loud ringing in my ear. Plus the amount of people who have annoying themes is too high. Report system is shit, so you can't really report people for having ear no themes anymore.

You're 8 years too late. APB has been toxic since forever. There are even game suggestions for you to belittle your opposition. The idea is to make them upset and throw off their game. Yes, it appears to be mean or whatever, but unless you have a weak constitution it wont bother you. Especially when its obvious the person insulting you cant even use english properly. It's quite obvious the person OP is crying about does not use english on the norm based on the coherency of their words. When the company decides to ban people for insulting other people then they would have to start logging every chat and begin banning people for every mean word they say. Might as well force everyone into social and call it 'Club APB.' APB is not advertised for children, so it isn't that much of an issue with people insulting others. Just don't be a baby about it and make a thread crying about how someone was mean to you. The 18+/M rating is mostly there due to language and the fact this game is similar style of GTA when it comes to violence and running citizens over. So expecting the moderation to police people insulting others makes sense if they're being overly offensive with racial slurs or something. Simply calling someone trash is not enough to cry over. and fuck you zombie my ignore list is full as fuck!

This is for the people who pretend not to play apb while threat segregation is disabled and the guy who places their hope on the 'cross instance' thing. Matchmaking isn't as shit as people make it out too be. It only appears to be shit because the longer a person waits, the larger the gap between threat levels becomes. Player A will begin queuing for a mission and the longer he waits the larger the gap becomes as matchmaking lessens the threat restrictions for the opposition. If player B logs in and he is bronze, and Player A's matchmaking has been ongoing for some time, there is a chance Player B will end up as opposition as matchmaking detected B is within the level matchmaking is looking for. This 'cross instance' matchmaking will not fix any problems for North American server. It will only fix some issues for the Europeans. Unless they change matchmaking completely you will still end up fighting against players of higher or lower threat the longer you wait. You also have to think, when NA had threat segregation you had a choice between Waterfront or Financial. You never were able to join both because the population simply was too low to support both districts. Cross Instance will only matter if they're in the same district. As you can see with threat segregation disabled, cross instance or not. You will be playing the same as before the cross thing. Now if the company decides to be extra stupid, they will remove the server restrictions and increase the amount of population by creating one whole server. Cross instance would work well then if you like playing against opposition who have ping doubled of yours. Since the beginning of APB:R the servers have always been shit when it comes to registering shots between players who have high ping separation. So unless they are going to fix their servers and not just change where they're located cross instance will just cause more people to stop playing as it will appear the game is on the last leg and desperate to get people matches without caring for their location. If they were to simply prevent matchmaking from widening the threat level gap as the player waited, it will just increase the time it takes to get a mission but lower the chances of players fighting against others whose threat levels are too low or too high than them.

idk why people think the 'network changes' will fix anything not like NA has the population for holding districts placed in different areas.

u are legit talking about playing with current apb time to kill with this thread and u wanna complain about someone being negative? xd apb is not battefield or call of dooty the current gameplay is slow or fast dependent on the mission and loadout of both teams. nerfing or buffing weapons will do nothing but change the meta. no one is going to use a cobr even if the ntec gets nerfed unless they wanna be edgy like me. when they started talking about nerfing the ntec everyone went from ntec to fucking obeya because the majority of the people who play do not give a shit about what you do. they will find out what weapon is the best to use in most situations and use it. there are so few peopel who actually give a shit about weapon balance unless its something stupid like shotguns balancing shotguns will never end because of how the game is played, theyre too fucking situational and no one plays apb by changing load outs. they want one single loadout to get them through their mission. and its mostly because of how fucking short the mission times are when you want to discuss changing weapons, you also need to look at the mission times, the objective times, the distance to a to b, and so on. you cant simply adjust weapon damages and call it done. and of course anyone who thinks about weapon changes will assume 'BUT IF U NERF THIS WEAPON PEOPLE WILL USE THT ONE' and yes that will happen. did u not see everyone using the fucking obeya when they announced ntec changes? obeya was the next best thing to use in most situations like the ntec no one seems to wanna look at gameplay they only wanna look at stats and values. it happen to all games

that poll question implies u feel thats what is in apb currently
