APB was built from day 1 to be enforcer vs crim. not just the lore but the whole thing. Once again don't put the cart before the horse - fix the spaghetti coding first or changes like this can easily break APB entirely. A major change like this can easily break any little coding on APB Also I never said anything about the lore ( the story ) to begin with. And furthermore a pool of 4 doubled to 8 does NOT fix APB matchmaking. Of anything it is a waste of time and money on a placebo that isnt even a bandaid. Even you say phasing would be an " ultimate solution " but then you call it limited ? uh what ? first off i was responding to that persons posts and not putting random stuff. Second putting out there what new people have said recently is not outdated information. plenty of threads on this as well as threads on what was put on youtube reviews. third i never said the engine upgrade will magically make anything happen i did say it would allow the opportunity to allow more content at once without having to rotate like before. fourth - you can be salty all you want but no one said or did anything to you to deserve your rudeness. - replying to you is pointless - enjoy trolling on your own

Back when that happened cheating was rampant and people dethreated to get away from golds who were cheating to win. Or did you forget about the goat and others. does nothing to fix the problems with the current engine with bugs , cheating , matchmaking etc. Its not even good as a placebo. APB is enforcers vs crims because it is a cop vs robbers type game. It is not a different game than that. while to you saying lets just let everyone switch seems like you get a large pool in reality current matchmaking has a handful not in a mission to choose from. all you did was at most say to double that playerbase that can be selected which does not fix matchmaking at all. Instead it gives more of the same problem and does nothing. guns cars and mods are more than numbers alone. There are formulas as well involved in them that make them work the way they work. New players have said how they wish they could shoot through the glass and that its odd how you cant. Personally I believe bullet resistant glass would be a good compromise to be realistic enough but still keep APB as APB , but that is just an opinion on how to please both opinions of others. ( allow a little damage to kill those already too weak who basically deserve it , but not free killing like some wanted ) That would take changing the car models however to make windows separate. With the current engine I would not want to do that or it would create a lot more bugs from how APB was coded. Also we have had the same content for years. APB can not survive on the same maps , and that will take the new engine to have more maps in time. I already said how the engine upgrade will be used to help clean up the spaghetti coding even more so. Who wouldn't ? Also , you admitted the upgrade is broken , so how much more do you think the even older engine we have is broken? TL;DR Nothing you said could even come close to fixing APB and wouldn't even extend its life either. Not only did you show you don't understand the coding at all , but that you also are terrible at business. Any company who ran itself the way you did would die out , which is what G1 did as well if you think about it. I'm sorry but you are completely wrong on this. The only real valid solutions that I have seen , has been from Little Orbit and their plans on this.

I remember Little Orbit being open and mentioning that they were not told the full truth on apb's state

Matchmaking has a pool of 40 people in its current state so tell me then how would YOU fix it without the engine upgrade since you just claimed it can be without it? How would YOU do gun balancing and fix the guns that have been broken and add in new maps and events to keep the game alive with the current engine only allowing so much before it breaks again? How would YOU change maps for new events and how to go about it when anything changed had to be rotated in and also tended to break APB in unexpected ways? And how would what YOU want be more important than new content that any gamer would want ( hundreds of games make new content for a reason - too keep and also bring in players ) And by all means say how YOU say it is better than the engine upgrade that will help with all of this in better ways ( like phasing for a massive pool for matchmaking ) Merged. And lets not forget the coding for APB is so old and unencrypted that people can make cheat programs easily but with the new engine can make that harder if not impossible for many ( it wont be all someone sooner or later can/will ) to make cheats with proper encrypting and other means Little Orbit mentioned in the past.

you are definitely confused. I did not say that in the way you took it.

Resine was not just talking about gun balancing in itself , but new content including maps , bug fixes , matchmaking , pretty much anything and everything else that comes after a new engine upgrade to be able to do all of that. you can not put the cart before the horse. As for Little Orbit's work and community opinions of gun balancing - there's a lot of opinions about how people want gun balancing but only Little Orbit knows what new guns in the future will be added. Matt Scott mentioned in the past there would be new content after the engine upgrade and it is quite possible the current gun balancing will be unbalanced in our eyes due to not all the content being added immediately ( only Little Orbit would know for sure on that as well - but it is possible so I keep an open mind to this )

Removed deleted content. - Azukii you forgot to include those of us who just blow the world up with any gun or car we can

The truth that you do not know programming does coincide with the majority of us so in this case it does because it is a part of the whole. Icing in itself is not part of the cake yet it makes a cake a cake as well. You tossed a lot of "facts" yet still fail to understand that it is not possible to fix what you complain about the way you are saying to do , because you are clueless to how programming works. You can toss around any opinion you want , but that will still not change the limitations of what the current engine is programmed to do and handle which is why we (Little Orbit , SPCT , and us community players ) are testing the new engine upgrade. How you believe the current fossil engine can be doing anything advanced that it was never made for without being upgraded to do so is beyond me. ( it is the very thing you keep saying to do )

We have had more than that on Jericho. not all players stay on APB all day long Many players also came back during the corona virus lockdown and showed we had 2 k people on APB ( not all Jericho of course ) and it showed we have many lurkers still interested in APB who are waiting for the engine upgrade and matchmaking to be worked on. Ive also been hearing it may be possible to play people overseas as well if the ping allows it to be a good match up The guns themselves needed to change since some were completely broken and unfair so it a work in progress. I am not sure of what else is going on at the moment but a lot of changes are happening

a gold who dethreats to be in bronze should NEVER be there. a 255 gold in bronze even more so. reflect upon yourself over someones valid concerns please. it is planned for phasing and matchmaking to be reworked after the engine upgrade to fix that very problem but we need the engine upgrade first to be able to do so since APB is on an outdated engine and can not handle that in its current condition. as for bigger population , I do not know what Little Orbit has planned but others may know . but either way we are not at that bridge yet and will probably not cross it until after matchmaking has been worked on , which will be after the engine upgrade

because spinning to goof off screams cheater

By all measures what you have said is fair enough. And yes 1000 hours really isn't much since many players have a lot more than that and know APB extremely well , which is why some criticize a 255 bronze in bronze district as unfair gameplay. As for gun balancing , matchmaking and such , I do not recall anything being set in stone , since in the future new guns , reworked vehicles etc can change APB in the blink of an eye.

waiting for someone to say " challenge accepted "

some people say prices should be less some should be more , but this time it is refreshing to see a call for fairness on the same item now if we could buy a paint scheme with tons of new colors for even more diversity then that would be awesome works for warframe

Please understand that a vast majority of us can tell you do not know anything about programming and how it works. Also please understand that a beta means it is not a finished product and will have problems ESPECIALLY when the community ( us players ) told Little Orbit to go ahead anyways with the testing even though we knew there WOULD DEFINITELY be problems And furthermore please understand that the community ( once again us players ) already explained more than enough times the past two years that WITHOUT AN ENGINE UPGRADE , APB PROBLEMS CAN NOT BE FIXED WHICH IS WHY IT IS A PRIORITY On a personal observation , you keep putting the cart before the horse in your arguments and in doing so your suggestions/opinions could not possibly be done.

are you playing with friends and/or new apb friends or only by yourself ? apb is much funner with friends

i do not know about your personal disconnecting however my steam overlay has existed since the ancient times so i can purchase through steam and has not disconnected me hope you can solve this good luck

How could you possibly ever see what someone is doing i their own home ? wth are you a peeping tom or something ?

its a god thing to assume that anything offsite used on apb files will get you banned its also a good thing to assume tampering with apb files will get you banned

i just heard people a few days ago though?

it down again?

Coding already proven for ten years that when you fix one thing two or more break and make things worse. "engine upgrade is bad just fix things" - thread keeps going on n on having to state the obvious that new games need new engines etc. me "............like seriously? what? this still? "

gaming mouse has macro

A macro is a cheat

The open beta that was announced is the engine upgrade that is needed to fix major problems with APB including a server side detection of cheating. I hope you do not give up just yet and stay with us , but if you do go I hope you return someday as well.
