    Sadly rhetorical questions don't always make out over forums. I couldn't even get a reply from the community manager after quoting them. Their silence is harrowing, but I can see from the consistent drop in /pop that they aren't equipped to handle such a "large" game!

    Nope they arent and they really dont know how to properly run the game. All of their choices to date has had a more negative impact then positive and any game dev knows they need to release enough content, fixes and qol to keep the pop around till the next content drop. Matt hasnt done any of these. I dont count events as they arent perm (they also only ran once before reverting to the old reuse events with 0 new content for vets) Now its too late for an out of date engine upgrade as the pops just too low and too many have moved on.

    Since you posted this in August 2020 the population has continued to decline. How much discussion do you need from the community? (you let this "discussion" continue for 11 pages.... 11 pages of drivel LOL) From the discussion of the community, which I believe you read each post, have you decided what you're gonna do?

    They already decided. There guna do what theve been doing this whole time, nothing. If they were srs about this and had any intentions to do anything it would have been done by the end of the yr or in Jan the latest. 3 months was more then enough to discuss and decide a course of action.

    Rally behind LO? Yea weve all done that from day 1. We want to see the engine upgrade SoonTM but we dont want to see all these bad ideas LO has brought in. Autumn Assault was a giant stain and is now the worst event in APB history. Any form of weapon balance changes has only made things worse and LO keeps listening to the wrong crowd. Q1 2014. That was when this engine was supposed to come out, add on the yr 1/2 - 2 yrs G1 put into it behind the scenes and its been almost a decade since this began and its still nowhere near ready.

    not to be rude or anything but...

     

    when was the last time you didn't complain about something ? I swear everytime I see you in a post it's about something to complain about XD

    2 yrs ago when LO took over. I was the one telling everyone to give em a chance. Well its been 2 yrs and they blew it.

    You need to retain enough old payers while getting new players to make the money being spent to keep the game running viable. With nothing being done to retain the current playerbase and the new engine more then likely a year or 2 away the money being spent isn't worth it. Everyone can complain all they want that doing anything to the old engine is pointless but at the end of the day they NEED to do just enough until release to make all this time and money spent on the new engine worth it. All those ppl who stopped playing 2, 3, 4, 5 yrs ago to wait on the new engine, do you honestly think they will come back after all this time has passed? The longer you stay away and the more ppl leave the more likely it is that they will never return. The further delayed this engine is the more likely it is that ppl with give up entirely on the game.

    Kinda-sorta agree. I think the way they've chosen to address balance problems didn't properly encompass player behavior and actual usage of items in the game. This isn't the first time they balanced based on some arbitrary numbers without looking into the broader picture on why something is the way it is within the title. Let alone the first or even second team to work on APB that has done this.

     

    Long as they manage to learn some important information from the screwup then whatever I say. Quite clear that at this point they've seen the divide between players on it. More a matter of what they do after this. Besides everyone makes mistakes.

     

    I'm more annoyed with the seemingly glacial development of this title.

    Lets see. Autumn Assault, geared towards tryhards 110%, 2 prior weapon rebalances reversed due to how unpopular they were, 2 more weapon rebalances now that are even worse then before. Yea Matt has learned from his mistakes over the last 2 yrs.

    Did they change the weapons so bad that medspray is actually viable now?

     

    Or did they actually change the consumable itself? Because I have never heard of it being 'meta' at all. What happened in the last year? lmao

    Shields are no longer a consumable and timeout after x amount of time so you cant cockblock stairs and doors anymore. Ammo boxes also timeout now and no longer resupply explosives of any kind including nades. Medspray got a buff and with the other 2 nerfed 6ft under its now strictly meta. Whatever it takes to be a toxic tryhard in APB to stroke your own ego.

    yes shift to the current engine that has already caused everyone to leave the game, great idea

     

    idk if you cant or wont understand this, but the last 9 years of apb have been "salvaging" whats left of the current engine, and look where its gotten us

    So after 2014 weve had new content? Wheres a new map? New missions? Proper balancing? New game mode? Since 2014 its been strictly milking the cow for all its worth without putting anything into it. No duh everyones leaving when theres nothing new to keep you playing. LO needs to keep ppl playing in the current engine while they finish the "new" engine. That wont happen unless they make some changes and add some stuff now to keep enough ppl playing. Otherwise you wont make it to see the new engine and no amount of new engine advertising will help.

    If by now none of you have seen how bad the pop is your blind. All of the recent decisions by Matt and the lack of addressing anything in the current engine have left everyone flocking away. Unless you shift focus to the current engine to try to salvage what's left your engine work will be pointless as nobody will be playing the game. APB pop has been dying at a faster rate then anytime in its past, and this last yr is during a pandemic where everyone is home all the time and everyone else (other games) saw increases. Wake up LO, wake up Matt time to come back to reality.

    you would have a point if med spray wasnt buffed, but it was, and thats whats causing the imbalance

    The imbalance is also the prior mentioned stuff that was nerfed into the ground. Ammo boxes didnt need to become as useless as they are and med spray didnt need a buff.

    Beautiful argument but it is out of place, just like the execution of recent changes to APB.

     

    - The previous Med Spray was already the best consumable, simply because it only competes with epinephrine that takes twice as long to cooldown (45s vs 90s).

    - We already asked for buffs but the 'Experts' ended up buffing OCA and nerfing non-meta, amusing isn't it?

    ---------------------------------------------

     

    There is simply no amount of sugar-coating nor beautifully-written dialogues that excuse out of place, sub-elementary execution.

    That happens when you have closet try hards wanting to try harder and a company that is listening to the wrong ppl about game direction

    So first it started with shields till that was nerfed, then ammo boxes till that was made useless and now were onto med spray. Everyone wants to complain about that now since the other stuff was made useless? News flash there will always be a metta in a game, you change something and something else will take its place. We keep this up were guna complain about how everything is underpowered and...... oh wait, we already do that. How bout we stop asking for nerfs and instead ask for buffs and proper balancing before everything acts like water balloons.

    Well we are not witnessing the same thing.

    I see GMs and TGMs quite often in the chat and they are being active regarding the griefers imo.

     

    By the way, you do know that if you are being griefed and that a GM is not present you can always /report them ? Also you can probably try sending a GMs a pm in discord if they are online 

    And lets be honest. Does /report actually do anything?

    I think you forgot to read what Eviltara sent so here you go : 

     

     

    Oh I read that, but its alot of hot air. Griefing has been unacceptable for many yrs and LO hasnt done anything to curb it in the 2 yrs they have owned APB. Actions speak louder then words and the actions by LO staff to date has been big whoop to enforcing the TOS. Weve all been here long enough to know that words are 99.99% of the time just that, words and nothing more.

    Can we actually have a GM's in a districts? There is a few Insults removed ~@mayii who just keep grief streamers, so its making game unplayable for them

    GMs and LO staff are completely lazy and incompetent. Gl getting anybody to actually do anything and enforce the TOS.

    Hello everyone,

     

    A new patch is going up onto the Live servers for PC. This patch will be happening on Wednesday 3/24/2021. The patch is scheduled to start at 9 AM UTC and will last up to 6 hours. Console will have its normal maintenance starting at 9 AM UTC as well.

     

    OVERVIEW

    This update brings a few sweet things your way! First, we are bringing back Easter Classics to the client (with all new titles to discover) and Easter costumes back into the store. You can read all about this on our website. Second, we've updated our download page with an approved config section. Moving forward, the download page is where we will put any approved 3rd party items like the Advanced Launcher so players can have one location to check out for accepted APB customizations. Finally third, we have a letter regarding community griefing that we encourage you all to check out. We will be taking a much harder stance regarding this kind of behavior in the future, so please inform yourselves and act kindly towards each other. 

     

    PC CHANGES/FIXES

    • New Role and Titles added to the client
    • Easter Egg Hunt event enabled
    • Easter bundles are back in ARMAS

     

    This post is cross-referenced in Game Updates for your convenience.

    Griefing has been a problem since forever in APB and the reason there has been a sharp increase in it is because the playerbase knows that LO doesnt enforce its TOS and they can get away with it, much like dethreating. Nothing is going to change unless LO actually polices the community and the LO staff does their jobs. Ive been playing since 2011 and LO is doing the same exact thing G1 did and expecting different results. If it hasnt worked for a decade why are we still doing it let alone expecting anything but the community problems we have.

    Also gj on updating the easter event to give us vets a reason to play for new stuff #sarcasm. I have a reason to log on and play now.

    GMs used to be visible (literally) but Matt decided they were too much of a distraction so now they spend their time invisible (again literally). 

     

    Long story short,  if GMs are doing their job correctly, you wont necessarily be seeing them. 

    Correction, if GMs are doing their job correctly you wont see as much toxicity, trolling/griefing, hacking, cheating and dethreating. Cause the community would know to follow the rules if they wanted to keep their accounts and stuff.

    Soooooo covid was here in 2019? 18? 17, 16, 15.... This stuff has been out many years before a pandemic happened in 2020, not to mention there hasnt been anything new well before said pandemic.

    Thats a bit harsh. I see the gm spending allot of time answering questions. And one time someone was Truck Raging n the GM removed the player, even Silenced my reroll Lenny for hacusating. N guess who quiets down when a gm is present. Ol Mack likes to 'Dry Hacusaate' , Mack likes to call people politically oriented names. I no longer do this because of convos with the GM.

     GMs are doing the Job they were asked to do, this may not be the the job certain players think the GM should be doing, which to my knowledge is primarily keeping the toxicity out of chat. As far as trolling, it is the GM being trolled by repetitive stupid questions 

    Harsh but true, ive seen an influx of griefers over the last few months and if they were doing their job this wouldnt be the case. Dethreating also wouldnt be a problem if they were enforcing the TOS as its against the TOS to dethreat. GMs need and should be doing more then they are doing now.

    i dunno, they come to protect events in apb whenever people do some

    can't help but respect that, most game moderators in other games dont bother with that from my experience

    How often are they around? Once in a blue moon? I never saw a GM during valentines in Jericho and when LO 1st took over you saw the GMs everywhere, 2 yrs later and they are as scarce as a legit player is.
