  1. Really not at all. Just uninstalled because I realized that I'm not gonna play anymore and I probably won't miss this game when it will shut down. I let the memories die a while ago and it went easy to embrace the reality. Everyone I've met in this game was a big and toxic waste of time. For a while I thought that I've made a good friend for lyfe but...I've met him in APB so there's that KEKW.

    its actually more effective to either complete or abandon the mission in order to get thrown back in the matchmaking pool as a solo player, rather than whatever random team the system has already decided is hard to matchmake for

    That too but if I level some alt I can gamble and wait 3min

    Alternatively, do the simpler thing of just removing unopposed missions entirely. They serve no purpose (you can't get any rewards or progress), but cause so many problems.

    Or remove friendly fire on unopposed. Some people are willing to wait every stage and TK anyone who do the obj. Sometimes that might take even 20 minutes of wasted time lol.

    It's more effective to wait on the drop and have less stages till the end but some will go as far as 99 4 objectives and patrol them like a maniac

    How should players adress actual problems if devs don't give a fu about them.

    Just saying... i'm also often pissed from things in APB and thats okay.

     

    We should be happy that actual devs care about problems! 

    It's just a matter of giving a fuck and using a bit of brain. Not like I expect it...

    if its possible to 'farm bronzes' then people will do it... thats just how life works.. whatever can be abused will be always. The devs need to create a system that doesnt allow for this type of abuse... and thats what we call 'balancing'....

    Yup that's exactly what I've said

    inb4 excuses for Bronze farming:

     

    "Matchmaking is broken anyway."

    "All Golds cheat."

    "I just wanna fool around while high/drunk and not play seriously."

    I can play in bronze to chill but still let bronzes/new players kill me and win. But yeah inb4 "there's no way to prove someone is new and this thread is the example"


  7. I was curious if anything has changed. I created a new character and started playing in bronze pretending that I'm new. I didn't sprint at all, couldn't aim. To make everyone take the bait but I quickly realized that even with this low population no one really cares about this game's future. I played around 15 missions and there was literally not one time where I was not getting farmed. If I was a new player you can bet I would be long gone. Like most.

    Now did I expect different outcome? Lol no. This is 2020 mentality on pair with crying how predatory or bad some studio is but giving them $100 on the next ocasion. There's no such thing (mostly) as responsible gamers.

    I really hope that the new matchmaking will take care of the new blood because without it this game won't grow and without a bigger /pop you can bet the plug will be pulled fast.

     

    TLDR: if you farm bronzes don't cry that this game is where it is.

    In todays day and age NO multiplayers game has even the tiniest chance of surviving without being free 2 play. The only multiplayer games that can still allow themselves to be buy 2 play are COD, Battlefield and GTA. Every other newer multiplayer game that tries to be buy 2 play dies, so I don't see APB breaking that pattern.

    DBD and ESO would like to have a word with you...

    reminder apb costed a 100 Million to make 💰

    They didn't get all the money for just this project and they were also mismanaging it a lot. On top of it the UE was pretty primitive at that time. APB isn't even an open world like in other games. They had to find a way to "stitch" together few arenas and let us traverse it. There was no time cycle and many things included. Nowdays they could utilize everything that UE4 (or something else) has to offer and reduce the amount of custom code, work and people.


  10. It's not only the newbie perspective. APB is very comptetive and it's not casual friendly. This could be both it's good selling point but also one of it's coffin nails. I've 8k hours and I'd play to chill sometimes but you can't really do that in APB. I always see that opposition playing like there was $20k irl prize for each kill and I'm just memeing around because sadly there's nothing to motivate me to play that good anymore.

    I think it has to do with file types. Ill use skyrim as an example since ive become quite good at modding it. Both skyrim, fallout, and skyrim se use .nif files these are object files (meshes) so you would think you could just drag and Drop nifs between games since all 3 use nif files. But even though they are nif. They all aren't created equal. So Skyrim to Skyrim SE simply require the nif to be optimized for se but might still work. But skyrim to fallout might be a bigger pain to try and do.

     

    so i bet the jump from 3 to 3.5 is the easiest. Plus 3.5 was already started. I bet you a million bucks, LO wouldn't have bought reloaded productions/gamersfirst/apb if the engine upgrade wasn't already in progress.
     

    p.s. i think anyone could half patootie take apb and put it into unreal 5 but it just wouldn’t look good or run good.

    That might be the point but I think that G1 still had original .max files from RTW

    I bet if they wanted, they could just take the engine and half patootie place stuff into Unreal 3.5 even 4 and everything will generally look the same even maybe play the same.

    If you go back to previous tracking the engine upgrade posts, they show how vertices aren't "welded" together and how indirect lighting needed to be contained within cells or how shadows don't display right.

    Although I bet most of that has been ironed out since, and now they are trying their best to get the game looking better and performing better or as good as apb 1.20 (Live)

    I always wondered why can't they just port the maps, create new customization system and for everything else use what UE 4 has to offer. We would lose our customizations but no pain no gain.
