    I already explained in this very thread that APB was indeed created with it being more competitive than GTA in mind. Refer to my previous posts. It's only similar in setting and general concept, not even close in terms of actual gameplay and mechanics other than hijacking cars and it being open world in a city.

     

    sure sure

     

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

    APB is competitive at it's heart but it has many mechanics that were added for one reason or another that tend to derail that such as the massive amounts of RNG, bounties, collissions out of mission and so on. Which are also the reason this game barely sees any "tournaments", because it's not even close to being polished enough to be taken seriously to the point where money is put on the line. If the game had no competitive potential then no one would take it as a competitive game, play arranged, organise community tourneys and so on.

     

    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.

    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

    #bringbackgoldrush

     

    I don't think there will ever be an easy solution to threat and matchmaking but it won't stop me trying.

     

    I think most other games simply brute-force it with sheer population numbers so they don't have to resort to the "widen threat level gap"  in order to get players into actual missions. I remember the days before the extreme widening happened - it really was during off-peak periods up to a 30 minute wait for matches. AND I'm all for that returning IF WE HAD SOMETHING TO DO DURING THAT WAIT. But that aside I think the other option - if they can't stop the widening, is to increase the rewards for fighting in "unfair" missions. 

     

    Maybe a lesser version of the "gold rush" event - but this time permanent and not G1C (or maybe a little G1C pls?) - I know this could no doubt be exploited to all hecking full but let's pretend we're not all exploiting assholes and increase the rewards or adding in a little something special if the Threat Gap is beyond a certain level for a mission? Make all the pain and suffering of going 0-22 in a mission slightly worth it by giving an extra big pat on the back to the little guys. 

     

    Using some coding wizardry to define exact % values for % extra rewards on threat gap would be nice. IDK how you'd fix people dethreating to themselves in order to gain higher rewards but why are we talking like dethreating isn't already an issue that happens anyway? My only guess on how to deal with that is to just give the extra rewards in the form of existing rewards i.e. Contact Progression and $APB (and JTs?) but idk if that's enough to make it worth.

     

     

     

     

    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.

    for those saying  " my ignore list is full"

    An honest question : did you accuse someone then block them so they could not reply? I see that A LOT more often than any trash talking like posted in this thread.

    If so then that is your fault for your ignore list being full , not to mention hackusations then , but that is somewhat of a different topic.

     

    In the end it is your choice how you use your ignore list and if you filled your list up then you need to tone it back a bit on your behavior as a whole.

    I personally do not see a lot of what this thread is about , sure there is some , but to fill up a whole list ?

     

    I think I've blocked 3 people the past year or so and that's it.... so yes i have valid concerns about your behavior since i do not see it often.

    for those who have forgotten i played in bronze as well as silver , and I'm saying I do not see it often

    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.

    It is actually scary that people take this as the norm. 

     

    Yeah, I get it. People do that in games. The difference is, some communities does it more than others and gets the label of being toxic for that matter. 

     

    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.

    You are one of the most blatantly negative people I have seen on this forum and I am struggling to think of anything you have said recently on any post in any thread that was remotely constructive or added anything useful to the topic, you don't even make counter-suggestions when you try to cut the legs out from under someone as you are doing here.  If you don't like what was proposed here, make a counter-suggestion.  But I hve reason to believe you don't actually have anything to suggest, seeing as how you are crapping on these suggestions as well as PVE's, and in neither thread did you say anything that would lend to being a positive remark, as much as said derisive things that equate to you doing your best to derail the intended topic of conversation* without being able to be accused of outright flaming.

     

    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

    I literally only added that poll option in an effort to be unbiased.  There's no judgement attached to that poll option, it is a valid opinion and preference to have.  The reason I made votes anonymous instead of showing the names and publicizing who voted for what, was specifically to ensure that there was no judgement placed on someone's vote.

     

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