    So... i spent a few years making a Symbol and everyone else is allowed to profit off that.. ok then, not making anything ever again for sale.  Guess this thread is case closed.

    oh and, fuck off.

    public will tend to support the original creators.

    just stay cool as a cucumber and keep making the same symbols flooding the market and he has nothing to gain.

    mass produce them and laugh that if he keeps doing it he loses money and you gain it

    Well, shit: new players don't know many things, not just tutorial or how to throw nades.

    It's only means they have to learn it, not that we gotta make the game the way they can play it without learning how to.

    It's a tps shooter, not rocket science, you gotta be like 12 or older to get how things work here. If you aren't intelligent enough to learn basics of a game, go back to your homework, might work out in the end.

    once again there is a steep learning curve for apb and they are making adjustments accordingly.

    if you dont like it too bad  because we want players to stay

     

    Merged.

    Actually it would. Imagine new players playing new players and being able to take any curve at a slower pace. With the addition of so many weapons in the JT store thats already knocked down the curve quite abit, adding the Pio to the JT store would also make it easier for new players to obtain. Regardless of this or what they are doing the pio is in the game and eventually these new players will come across it.

    you can argue about detrheating all you want but it doesn't change that it is publicly known how APB is not new player friendly and they are making changes to make it more so.

    being gold or not is only a small part of why these adjustments are being made to make the learning curve less hostile for new players.

    you would think you two would like APB to be more friendly towards anyone new to get more players instead of arguing against it

    Wouldnt that balance issue be resolved if they kept golds and dethreaters out of the lower districts? Maby its just me here but id think that would resolve alot more issues then differences between cars, not to mention you still have car surfer available which newbies dont.

    that would not change the steep learning curve and how new players do not know anything.

    dethreaters are only part of a big equation

    Well, new players may read the tutorial.

    and do they know where it is? many have said in the past and recently that the tutorial sucks in different ways

    Alig + frag nade(s)

    New players who can talk to people in chat ( language barriers ) can ask how to get frags while some have no clue

    And have you ever tried to use a frag while using an alig on a pioneer running you over?

    It does not go well for most players unless of course youre a gold / veteran. not a new player tactic to try at all

    new players are proven to not play enough to get that every week nor know about it to begin with.

    players who have been here a while or can speak the language to communicate with people can ask but not everyone can do that because of multiple countries that play.

     

    and contrary to some peoples belief alig doesn't kill fast enough if there's armor 3 and no clear path to shoot the target vehicle in question.

    for a new player it is a balance issue so they are making adjustments to see what they  would like for apb.

    I really dont agree with the HP drop on the pio and espacio. These are the only 2 cars that can actually take team fire with any chance of survival. Lets not start with OSMAW shots. I see the volcano nerf but I dont see an OSMAW nerf here and that would be ideal for survival not only in cars but on foot. ALIG will still tear a car up like paper as well and if you have more then one of any of these no car will survive even with the increased hp on most of them.

    most new players cant cope with how defensively strong those two cars are compared to the players who either unlocked those or bought them , who by then have  weapons unlocked that can kill those vehicles while  new players cant.

    its a balance issue so they are adjusting to see if this works out or not.

    If a game is nothing but skill , and the learning curve is too high ( such as how apb's already is ), then not only do you not get new players , but you can also lose the ones you do have from too far of a gap.

    those gaps can include 15,000 dollar comps for some gaming freaks and most people dont have that. No thank you I dont want it all skill it wouldn't be good for us. ( framerates  matter after all )

    That's not what phasing is.

    That's not phasing, that's connecting to regional servers or cross-regional matchmaking.

     

    Phasing or instancing is when a zone/district/map/etc. has different "shards" or "layers" to it that players are divided up into depending on desire.

    This is a technique commonly employed by MMOs.

     

    For example, the Financial-NA West 2 server could have 200 players on it, but with phasing it might only render 40 of them per shard, but still be able to maximize matchmaking accuracy by still allowing you to draw opponents from the entire 200 player population. When matched, it would then put you and your opponents into the same shard or layer.

    Or another example, Financial-NA West 2's city could look as it does today by default, but maybe the devs want the city to look grungy or war-torn for max level players or those who reach certain milestones in the story and so they use a modified shard for those players. This could allow immersive changes without compromising the experience of everyone else who isn't on the same page or progression in the story.

     

    But yeah, sorry if I over explained it, that's the general gist of it.

    with ping phasing allows matchmaking through districts , and Matt Scott said before he has intentions of seeing about servers as well with ping allowing ( one of the  Q&A )

    So yeah if it goes as well as hoped for , then it is.

    Let me play my NA account on EU and let EU accounts play on NA... just open up all the servers and let people from all around the world join whatever server they want. I know this is going to be a thing in the future, just wish it was already a thing since NA server is really dead.

    Thats called phasing

    As you can see, there are a few changes coming in this next patch. There were things that were bound to slip through the cracks and Remote Det is one of those things. After talking to the team we will be adding and testing a cooldown for that before this patch goes live on Wednesday. More details on specifics as the patch gets closer.

    Requesting that getting a new car have a check as well.

    Some people spam cars and brick drive them at noobs who have no way to counter.

    When are the Eastern European servers coming?

     

    7 hours ago, Sakebee said:

    Hey @HelloPie, this is a good question. Thanks for checking in, and we apologize for the delays so far. Long story short, covid has been interrupting supply chains and making everything take longer than it might otherwise. We paid for the servers in April, but the service we are using has had multiple issues with their vendors preventing things from coming online. I don't feel comfortable giving an ETA at this time given the state of things, but we are working as hard as we can to get these up as soon as possible. 

     

    shouldnt we get a higher population first?

    Say little orbit took you on a tour of the company building and said you could make 1 change to apb, 1 and only 1.


    What would it be?

    Kekw. This shows how absolutely incompetent some of LO's employees at this point. Not gonna blame the whole company itself but damn.. 

     

     

    I'm assuming you either do not know or have forgotten that the community asked for this since some can buy a piece at a time but have trouble buying the whole packs at once.

    many different packs are being broken up like this for those of us who can not get what we want otherwise.

    Plus who is to say if other gear will be made for items to go with in the future ?

    the item juggler is botting,  Read the Dev post on it:   "a bot is the use of a macro or anything that mimics a macro"

    so no you can not jump and grab the item and not be cheating, that is the point.  How do you know if you are grouped with a cheater
    ?  If you see your team mate as you say item juggle the you  know they are cheating. Cheaters are very easy to spot, just look at them and watch what they are doing.  Also and this is the part that everyone overlooks, until they are banned for it, 

     

    If you see an item juggler  on your team and do not report them  or quit the mission then you are cheating. Read the rules under exploiting "using a cheaters cheats to give your self advantage is exploiting"

    So to answer your question, if you see the item juggler and  the rest of the team accepts it then every one you are looking at on your team is cheating (period).

    .....what? since when?

    Allowing something isn't the same as being built for it . RTW days was early early alpha when they allowed it and  it was decided against it to move to the current APB.

     

    The engine upgrade allows better opportunities for fixing core problems with APB , yet you wanted to put the cart before the horse and not fix the real problems first with a proper engine. 

    Instead it was suggested to use any placebo you can and say it is better while even saying its not better. Who in their right mind wants to settle for second best , and your ideas weren't even that.

     

    ANY OF YOU have yet to give any solution BETTER than what Little Orbit has planned.

    Doubling a player pool is no where near better compared to infinity player pool possibilities. 

     

    So far no real solutions were given by any of you that would be any where near good enough for making APB better than what it is now so it can succeed , which is exactly what Little Orbit has as a goal.

     

    You dont win a race by giving up , you win by giving your all to the bitter end. Whether APB can do that , only the future would know ,

    but not doing whats right to the best of our ability out of laziness will absolutely fail APB.
