If you were to get on Jericho right now ud find only 170 ppl on during peak hrs. Thats not only an alltime low for Jericho but it shows that Autumn Assault only drove ppl away from APB. Theres no FC running and you only have one bronze Fin and 1 silver WF populated so unless your silver or lower you cant swap between WF and Fin. @MattScott needs to pull a rabbit out of his hat at this point if he wants to save APB and prevent another server merge.

I had already brought all this up day 1 of the event in my thread. This event was epically flawed, the most out of any event in APB history. Bad spawns, bad boundaries and griefers that kept ***** blocking the skin each and every time. All this would be brought up to @MattScott @Lixil and the GM team yet they didnt do anything about most of it. Asking nicely doesnt work with the kind of community APB has and that was proven within 24hrs yet they still continued to ask instead of booting these griefers or restricting the event so that only ppl who hadent won could join. There were ppl who were blatently showboating how many times they had won the event yet the GMs wouldnt lift a finger to stop it so they kept on winning. Then you had ppl who were obv cheating in the event infront of the GMs and all they would do is tell you to send support a ticket with a video instead of dealing with it promptly. That just left a horrid taste in my mouth and it only proved that the GM staff doesnt really care (G1 all over again). These cheaters should have been dealt with on the spot, instead they now know they can cheat infront of GMs and get away with it so there will be more cheaters in the future (not to mention if anybody did send support a ticket the cheaters have at least 2 months on the acc before any action happens). This again goes to LO and Matt failing to deal with the problem let alone in a timely manor. Event zones were so flawed you could be dead center of the fight and the server wouldnt allow you into the gun games to kill anybody while others could be 150m away from the center and be considered in the zone. This was brought up by the community on day 1 and was never addressed by LO even in the fix. LO will REALLY need to work hard on this next event to make sure it goes off without any issues otherwise they might as well close down cause right now they are 0-2 and ppl are very unhappy.

And tonight we had a GM in Jericho WF that was basically afk the entire time. Games ran but thats abut it with all repeat winners so *shrugs* way to keep it goin.

Given Seiges history they test things? rofl. But on topic gota give kuddos to GM mist tonight as she did kick repeat winners from the event after they continued to ignore the friendly reminder not to repeat.

What im trying to say is that without enough gms to run each assault dist as it stands even if this was at a diff time the same issues would persist.

Actually I was unaware of that. I dont watch streams nor do I no life APB as im juggling work, school, my moms cancer and my own injury. If thats the case and GMs do wield the ban hammer then all they need to do is hire more ppl.

My comments were in regard to the GMs as a whole

They dont have the most needed power that makes a GM a GM, the power to ban. When LO took over Matt said the GM staff wouldnt be able to ban and they could only watch cheaters and foward the info to battle eye. Essentially put a program has more power then a GM which is quite pathetic as not only can they not ban cheaters but they cant suspend griefers either they dont have the authority to. Everything either goes through battle eye or a recording is submitted to support so they can eventually get to it after sev months (sound familiar to anyone? G1 high hacker tolerance in a nutshell) instead of a quick and prompt response that will keep disruptions to a minimum in both time having to deal with them and them being able to ruin play.

Nobody has a choice over time zones. While yes I know they dont have a dedicated server like we do at the end of the day its still a server for the US as harsh as it sounds. The time for the EU server is for the EU pop ppl from the US or Russia have to deal with that on there. Would it? Maby maby not as ud still find the no lives griefing the event to prevent ppl from getting the skin. But at the end of the day Matt didnt hire enough GMs to handle diff time slots and as is they are short GMs for the single hr its set up for. They should have made it top 5 scores get the skin and 6-10 get a weapon skin from armas. This allows sev ppl to get the event skin, prevent griefing cause winners cant block and gives others a chance at a skin that maby some cant get cause they cant buy it. As for the JT unless your a low lvl (and nobody in this event is) its worthless so ppl saying JT is worth is using it as an excuse (like Joe)

As much as id agree they are accessing a server made for the US and as such they gota go by the time the server is set for. If it was us accessing a server in Aus wed have to go by their time. Thats the breaks when accessing a server outside your country.

Those guys go and actual paid GMs come in. The current GM system wont work and were already seeing it in the lazy GMs and the inability to ban ppl.

Realtime worlds the orig dev of APB did have an CBT and OBT phase of the game back in the day. Just given the game has changed hands twice since then and the orig coders are long gone + a custom code nobody knows how to exactly work it so bugs happen freq. Once the new engine comes out with new code writing alot of things can be addressed.

Its never going to work with 100% of ppls sched. What LO should have done was run the sched for sev hrs lets say 6-9PM. That covers a good swath of time and allows ppl to get in at the event.

Matt disassociated the GMs the moment he announced they didnt have the authority to wield the ban hammer and only battle eye did. No matter what improvements are done unless GMs can ban they are completely useless. I to have an issue with the GMs as in the Autums Assault event the other day we had cheaters in the game, now they werent blatent but it was obv they werent legit. 1/3 of the dist was calling for the GM to remove said player and that they were cheating. The GM told everyone to record and send in support tickets. Essentially put the GM blew off the report and said the cheater could get away with it. Thats bullshoot and were calling it out cause we want action IMMEDIATELY, not in 2+ months after the events over and the cheater successfully ruined the game for days on end. Matt needs to srsly look at the GMs and hold them accountable as well as give them power to ban.

They have yet to understand that unless they show force and that they are in charge nobody in this community is going to take them srsly or listen. Matt also basically removed any credibility of threat by a GM when he didnt give them the ban hammer. And yes ppl are cheating in the event right under their noses and they said to use the support desk and send a ticket in. Ummm how exactly is that going resolve the issue NOW when support is taking 2+ months to respond to tickets? (my ticket just hit 3 months). Im sorry @MattScott and @Lixil but the GM staff you guys have is a complete joke. They wont take action against hackers and dont have the ban hammer to remove them right there on the spot. Instead these ppl ruin the event and get away with it cause the support desk cant act in a timely manor. Also them saying they wont do anything to contact support tells me they are lazy and dont want to act. For some reason the vets think JT is worth something and keep playing even though there worthless especially when you bought everything the game offers.

I didnt play that day lol but I do know that at least it wasnt as buggy and the rewards were for everyone unlike Autumn Assault where its bugged and flawed beyond reason and where only 1st place can get the reward. The events a griefers paradise as they can just keep winning and prevent others from getting the skin, while the GMs dont use any force to prevent it and just keep asking to stop to no avail.

Daily useless toxic shitpost. Add it to the pile.

To the person with the toxic attitude, we dont need that crap here take it elsewhere.

Quality should improve with the better engine so just hold on like everybody else.

I call it as it is, no matter if its right or wrong.

There are alot more then you think. I find ppl dethreating on a daily basis and im not even that heavily involved in the reg dist nowadays (been playing abot 4-5 rounds this past week while on vac) im 99.99% in FC and even I know of the problem that makes everything in APB worse from balanced matchmaking to the community itself. Not only does this event favor vets but it favors those who are botting more then anything else. Unless you got lucky 99% of the time you find the winner is a repeat who is a known player of questionable skill. Oh and not to mention try harding. An event should cater to everyone of all skill lvls from the newbies to the seasoned vets with a variety of unlockables, missions and limited rewards from easy all the way up to its so hard only afew ppl will get it. LO has released 2 events since taking over and in this regard they are 0-2 (not to mention 0-2 in releasing events without bugs). @MattScott @Lixil for xmas please take all of this into consideration when deciding on rewards and tiers of rewards so everyone has something.

While yes that event was bad at least it wasn't so bugged and flawed. That WAS the worst event in APB history until Autumn Assault...

Lately ive been hearing and seeing alot of game crashes for players involved in the event. Its happened to me afew times as well and is yet another bug in this event. Im sorry LO but this event ranks as the worst one in APB's history. Thats how bad it is.

I think the logic behind that is if ppl join and servers fill

Might have been one without a name then cause that one is before streak.
