    Matt Scott, and his company Little Orbit, have allowed the game to get to an almost unplayable state, so much is common talk amongst the frustrated playerbase of APB.

    Moreover he is placing so much of his attention on trying to deliver even a slither of that promise to "upgrade" APB, which has been almost comical in the way the promise keeps getting downsized.

    All this is part of his failure to do his due diligence before acquiring APB: Reloaded, he failed not only to know the game and its deep rooted issues, but he also failed in knowing his team and their capabilities.

     

    Currently a new player entering the game will be faced with players who — as they gained experience in APB over the course of thousands upon thousands of hours — also lost their basic decency and sportsmanship in the process. That is what APB does; it is a toxic wasteland, it grinds down a person's humanity if they aren't careful to preserve it.

    The new player will get stomped out by pre-made teams of highly experienced veterans of APB, and if they should be so lucky that a highly skilled veteran should end up on their side, that veteran is likely to refuse to play in a team with a newbie, will not make an effort, in order to preserve their ego, or outright restart the game to get out of the team of the new or low-skilled player. You should be aware how highly developed the sense of fairness is in human beings, and none of this feels fair.

     

    No technological breakthrough will make this better, LO could figure out how to make APB run on a quantum computer for all I care, and still the community would be defeating any possibility of the game's recovery.

    If Matt Scott wishes, I can outline for him all of the toxic behaviours that I see in the game, I'll be a wasteland tour-guide if he needs me to, just so that he gets a grasp on the reality.

     

    If you can not make the game feel fair, perhaps you should give players an escape. Those players who would outright quit APB because of how unfair PvP feels, might be kept in by further PvE options, if PvE were viable to avoid PvP, and to progress contacts.

    I do not know what percentage of the APB community would be "pacifists" just looking to customise their characters and vehicles and do co-op activities, but I would say that already at least 10% of a district will have these wallflowers hanging out, who only occasionally will play missions, and not for long, as they are not able to be competitive. These wallflowers could be another source of cash-flow for this cash-starved game, perhaps a PvE district is in order, wherein you would flesh out these cooperative rather than competitive activities.

     

    This would not negatively impact the players available to missions, since these "wallflowers" rarely actually participate in missions, and take up district slots. You could incentivise them to spend time, and money, and clear them out of mission districts with a PvE district.

     

    I just can not stand the sense that so much hope is placed on a performance upgrade.

    Then again, perhaps Matt Scott knows these deep-rooted issues, and he doesn't actually think he can get this game up to a viable orbit again, he just keeps it around as a training environment for his devs, as he claimed that R.I.O.T mode was, in the end.

    Thank you , You have spoke my mind

    Story by a friend 

    Maye Fahmi

     

     

     

    You never appreciate it when you've got it all. Maye Fahmi was unlucky to learn this bitter lesson through her own experience. A former model and a rising movie star from Egypt, beautiful, popular, and wealthy, she lost everything when at the age of 22 she caught a rare disease that made her skin gradually change pigmentation and eventually turn silver. While some thought this made her even more spicy, the majority turned their backs to the wannabe Marilyn Monroe. She stopped getting casting calls, disappeared from tabloids, her friends abandoned her. Even her family were not happy having her around anymore. Indeed, it could understood, she looked evil. Not only her skin, her eyes changed dramatically. The pupils, iris and cornea all turned silver of almost identical tint, so that her eyes looked hollow even close-up. She tried every possible medication but nothing helped and she lost hope to recover. 

    The only thing she hasn’t lost yet was her money and she decided to fill the rest of her life with all the joy she could buy for what she had left. She started travelling and visited many countries, always in eyeglasses and a mask, and always in the pursue of the dirtiest aspects of life. Night clubs, drugs, orgies... she tried them all. And they entertained her a lot, but only for a while. After about a year of living this epicurean life she noticed that every next country she visited and every next city she stayed in started giving her less joy. Boredom and loneliness became her frequent company. She still had money to drive her careless life to its obvious end but she just had no more fuel in the tank. It is in this foggy state of mind that she arrived to San Paro.

    The city was unlike any other she visited. Unstoppable fighting at streets, raids, pain, and trouble, this seemed like one of the movies she starred in years ago came to life. That was exciting. But it didn't last long. Very soon she dived into the deep of boredom again and started to booze. It is just this honorable occupation she was dedicating herself at Rimbaud when she got noticed by Gumball.

    "Hey, honey, I'm Gumball. What is your name? Show me your pretty face." Maye didn't feel like dating. "Fuck off shit ball." Gumball liked the answer. He sat down next to her and took the eyeglasses off her face. 
    "Omg, girl, what happened to your eyes? And skin?"
    "Fuck off!"
    Gumball had a taste for special girls. And Maye was exceptional.
    "Come with me. I'll show you something."
    "What is it?"
    "A heist. You'll be part of it."
    That sounded interesting. After all, even if he just wanted to no her, she didn't care for herself anymore.
    "Ok" -- this word changed her life. 

    It was a real heist, of a large bank. Nicely planned and smoothly performed. They were four heroes, and they defeated it all: sophisticated video surveillance, face and eye identification, coded locks, sneaky security guards. Seven million gain, not a drop of blood lost. This night Maye Fahmi died and Tatt0o was born.

    Tatt0o became Gumball's secret right hand and woman. "My little alien" as he calls her, but on heist she is more like a robot: precise, fearless, unstoppable. One day she also became his ears. "I need someone in the Joker Store to sniff stuff. They are looking for a sales rep. Wanna try?" Of course she did. After all, she is an actress and that was a completely new role she got offered. So, either you are a cop or criminal, beware when talking shit near this girl when you are in the Joker.

    Liliana Adams

     

    Lilliana Adams is one of San Paros Criminal Parkour Runners. She was undetected for 5 Years, until now.
    She was in the need of Money when she made the biggest Mistake in her life, usually she was accepting contracts for illegal substances getting delivered quickly.
    But today she was robbing a Gas Station located in the Finacial District at The Needles Beacon.
    Today she forgot to take her Medication, helping her to keep calm in stressful situation.
    As she held her Pistol at the cashiers head, she was 4 seconds after shot, the bullet hit her right Arm. The Police Man that just came in from his Break getting a snack 
    reacted fast. She dropped the Gun and quickly felt the Pain, and as always she had one Joker with her.
    Her lovely Flashbang, which she defused with her teeth, throwing it in the Air, running into cover and away.
    She was gone again, Untraceable. A few Blind and Deaf seconds later, the Police Man investigated the Gun.
    It was something unusual, it had a Battery installed as a Magazine, a Copper Coil inside and outside the barrel equipped wihout a Trigger.
    He Picked up the Gun and aimed it at the Ground. As he Aimed it looking trough the sight, it shot an inormous loud shot ,Deafing the Police Man
    so as the cashier for the Rest of there lifes.
    After further inspection in the Gun Lab, they couldnt believe what they found. A modular Weapon using no cartridges.
    Lilliana Adams is in Big trouble now, where her story began as a Criminal.
    What only Lilliana knew was, that the pistol Should be used with 3 other High-Tech pieces combined into a Sniper-Rifle, ending San-Paros War.
    Now she is accepting contracts Including blood and Murder, making her one of the Biggest threads San Paro has to offer.
