    So, I see the roadmap. I see the things said.. Plans hit.. Plans to come.. May we know how come Matt hasn't logged into the forums since April? For a while, there, he was quite active on here. It was nice to see, and brought about some extra hope and confidence in the future of the game. 

    Sorry to tell you this, but this game probably shut down next year for real this time. There's no roadmap, no new districts/maps are coming, the new graphic engine visuals looks worse than RTW, should have sold this game years ago back to EA or some other major company, this game is dead. Sadly there isn't any other game similar to APB, other than Crimecraft which is also shut down sadly and Defiance Original which again another game shut down, sadly. People think GTA 5 is a great online game lol, i think there's more cheaters in GTA5 than APB haha.

     

    I don't play alot of mmos anymore, due to the fact that i know that the fate of them won't last long due to devs making changes for their games which eventually ends up destroying the playerbase and killings the game, so what's the point. Only mmo game i play the most is Destiny 2. 

     

    Matt probably left the company if he hasn't logged on since April lol

    nah

    yes. Its already a known fact that pretty much everyone missed the old graphics/visuals/bloom/tracer colors/textures/old shaders, and alot of us enjoyed the old threat system and old gun sounds. There's no doubt in my mind that more people will play the RTW version.  And at this rate, they better do something.

    Bring back the game that went bankrupt in under 3 months... brilliant.

    MUHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAH LMFAOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, but seriously (that made me chuckle hard), um RTW is the better version, the majority of us know this and I am 100% positive if they bought it back, barely nobody would be playing the current version now. Trust me.

    I use to be like you OP. I use to hang around at the gas station and just sit in my car listening to music watching the "hackers" drive by or come into the gas station. Then i say to myself, this game never changes. I also say , man i missed Colby west and GM Blackbeard, then i say i missed the old graphics, gun sounds, blue tracers, old threat system, HQ bloom. I try to play a few missions, its fun for about 2-3 missions, then i end up uninstalling the game.

     

    I use to repeat this pattern , until i found other games that are similar but are way better. Hellgate London, Saints row 3 and 4, Defiance ( i stop playing defiance though ), etc. Just play other games, eventually you will flee from APB and realized that the game that we use to love in the past is never coming back. The new company team IMO is worse than Gamerfirst. No offense, but i don't think they are listening to any of our feedback.

     

    APB use to be at its best when Blackbeard, was around, G1Aleeia, Neume, G1Zieu, Dave Jones, i wish they just bought the RTW version, its way better than this crap they now. I'm sure if they did bring back the RTW version, they will have at least 3000 players in the game instead of what barely 600 online.

    These pictures are from the project that G1 worked on, and even back then they said the upgrade won't change anything visually.

     

    No one precisely knows if LO is going to revert these aesthetic changes, or if they continue with it.

    Sounds like nothing good is ever going to change with this game. Just my opinion.

    I was just reading the blog about the engine upgrade, there were pictures of the PC engine upgrade release already, many of them along with some video. So i am a little confused about this: "As it has been mentioned before, I don't think this is going to be a massive upgrade visually. Some players may not even notice"

    ?????????????????

    The PC engine upgrade photos clearly shows that they look a million times better than the crap version we have now.  So I'm starting to wondering did the new company start over and didn't want to use what Gamer's first was using, thus why they pushed it back to Spring of 2019. Reading the blog, it sounds like they have no idea what they are doing now or don't know which direction to go anymore.

    I see nothing wrong with the new images and visuals, the bloom looks like the RTW and early versions of APB. Just confused on why its taking so long and now pushed back to spring of 2019, which i am not shocked because i could of sworn i said that in the game many times , at this rate it might be spring of 2019 lol. I would rather they just give us back what was removed from , what's that guy name "Monte"? who removed the old textures and shaders i think, and also give us back the Bloom quality settings, do that for now until you have the engine upgrade release. I haven't played apb in almost a year now, but the game looks like crap and washed out, and then there's no old threat system available, not sure how anyone is enjoying this game. I just don't see a future with this game anymore, same 2 maps from 2010, now its 2018 and things isn't getting any better as for new content , new maps, and new visuals are concern. If people don't know, it takes about 12-18 months just to create a new map district.

     

    Where is this game headed too?

    yea the servers were a messed, but the lag doesn't bother me, i think its funny and i always laugh when it happens. But i believe that once they upgrade the engine or whatever maybe the game won't lag/have server issues. This sort of stuff has been happening since 2011, it never ends. So that's why it doesn't bother me anymore.

    Hi there,

     

    Epidemic started late, but as others have mentioned, it will go for two weeks through the 13th. The current plan is to start Gun Game next, and then roll into Christmas.

     

    I’ll be posting the exact dates as we get closer and finished testing new pieces.

     

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Playing the game today, i think the majority of the players want the engine upgrade and the old threat system back.  You probably have about 4000 players in the game right about now if you release both features and promote it/advertised it on steam and elsewhere.

     

    The new event though is interesting, but didn't hold my interest because the game feels the same. The engine upgrade and a new district with this event will make it more fun. hope to see and play the event in a new map one day.

    Well, why don't you read some of the post around here buddy?

     

    LO has already:

    Added Battleye

    Implemented A trading system

    Updated the Joker store

    Reduced the Armas Prices

    Added an auto renewal system for Premium

    Balanced weapons (Good/Bad)

    Fixed a few bugs

    Added a weapon renewal system in your inventory

    Added 2 new weapons and released a few previously unobtainable weapons

    Increased Communications/transparency

    Increased weekly update quality

    Increased FPS limit

    Improved server performance (IMO)

    Improved Hitreg (IMO)

     

    Just off the top of my head.

    I'm fully aware of what LO has added, even though i haven't played in about 2 years, i lurked the forums a bit and read around.

     

    BattleEye Pointless, and judging by the all the posts here, there's still massive cheaters roaming.

    Trading System: Nothing special or exciting.

    Updated Joker Store: lol

    Armas Prices cheaper um ok

    Added an auto renewal system for Premium um ok

    Balanced Weapons The weapons were fine before LO got on board, but um.

    Fixed a few bugs without explaining what those bugs are, great job reporting

    Added a weapon renewal system in your inventory um ok

    Added 2 new weapons Pointless

    Increased Communications Yes i agree the Communication is better, but actually listening to what the players actually want, nope, still the same. And that's one of the reasons why the player-base is at all time low now. But you guys can keep being in denial and think everything is fine.

    Increased weekly update quality um ok

    Increased FPS limit um ok

     

    None of that is going to help the game survived, if anything none of that stuff is that important, unless you count the cheaper prices in arams, and trading system if people want to trade.

    Those two go hand in hand. The best course of action is not for them to update graphics or work on them now, but to finish the engine unification, upgrade the engine on all platforms, and then update the graphics, and settings. If they were to update the graphics now, they would have to rework it again with the newer engine, thus doing the same thing multiple times. Which... if you're a software developer, is a waste of time.

    You're not everyone, and my above statement addresses this.

    No

    The old threat system would still have just as many issues as the current threat system. Removing visual threat of others or even yourself, would actually address the issues of dethreating.

    If you can't see your threat, or you can't see others, then you won't be able to 'dethreat' (easily that is)

     

    I'd recommend spending more time either on the forums, or playing the game to get up to date with information, instead of posting aimless threads.

    I have been playing APB since RTW, i am up to date to what is happening with this game. I have seen it at its best times and worse times and i know for a fact when the game started to go down hill. Firing Certain GM's , removing the old threat system which basically put a huge dent in the game player-base and i was a witness to it when it happen. You can sit up here and play stupid all you want, removing the threat system would be the worse idea and probably will killed the game for real. I don't speak for every player who has been playing since RTW, but i know what i am talking about. Bringing back the old threat system and promoting it everywhere, including on steam will bring back over 2000 players to the game. Now if you don't care about the threat system, that's one thing, but facts are facts, all the stuff which Gamerfirst was doing by removing the threat system, firing certain GM's who helped build the game and the community, removing the old graphics which were better, removing the old gun sounds, etc killed the game over time.

     

    Yea blah blah i know things take time, I'm merely only stating that the engine upgrade is their saving grace, so i hope its done right. I have notice alot of devs/ companies tend to do "what they want to do, or what they think is the best idea * that didn't work out too well with those shotgun changes, eh"? *  , better stop doing that and listen to the community.

     

    Open up your eyes and look at the steam charts, lmfao.

    I don't use youtube, so can someone tell me where the original video is that from ?
    lmfao he me rolling.   Also the only time i got kinda pissed like that, is when they removed the old threat system and when i saw that they had no intention on putting it back. yea i was kinda pissed, so upset i had to stop playing the game for about 3 months, because i was also addicted to the game.

    Remove one of the few reasons people have for buying premium?

    ... great idea


    I clearly said: "And just add an even higher payout for premium players."

    Am I reading this right?
    You want to remove a premium benefit because you can't hoard in game cash as much with non premium?
     

    Assuming I am reading this right :
    Greed over in game money that is only used for ammo and renting guns  ,strife against those who have more of what does not matter to begin with , and  jealousy over numbers in this case cash from missions (which is also gluttony in this case) are not valid reasons to remove premium benefits for those who support APB and  Little Orbit.
    I completely refuse to do so. I will support the game and Little Orbit
    I never said to removed premium. If they make premium as the normal for non premium players, all they have to is increase the premium payout even higher. it works both ways.

    Hey guys, i think the payout for non premium players should change. I think the devs need to make the premium payout as the normal for non premium players. And just add an even higher payout for premium players. I am not sure if anyone else has thought about this or realized that the payout / rewards for non premium players is really really bad. Even to the point where myself wouldn't recommend anyone play APB unless they have premium.

    Would love to hear the devs opinion about this or if they plan on changing it.

    Well let's be real, i would say and guess that 95% of the player-base want the old threat system back, engine upgrade to be release , new maps and new content.
    me personally i could care less about any weapons, guns or weapon changes lol. But then again, i stop playing APB about 8 months ago, only came back to the forums to see if anything new as happen. Same boring game months later.

    Would be nice if the dev can give us a possible month and date when it might show up, knowing something is better than nothing.
    so you guys can complain when they dont release it on that month / date?
    I was asking a question, not complaining. All i said it would be nice if they give a bit more details about it, what's your problem? nobody is complaining.
