more like what APB is doing wrong: non existent marketing(wich causes people to see this as a budget GTA instead of something completely diferent), bad reputation (this is the game thats "overrun by hackers" at the eyes of the general population) caused by horrible matchmaking and threat system, that also causes horrible player retention (newbie person with shooter experience gets to silver, faces teams of max rank golds 5 times in a row, decides that everyone is cheating, leaves).
also, here
have fun in that thread, it highlights lots of stuff thats really wrong and annoying in the game, and that makes it dificult to hold even experienced players.

14 minutes ago, Provocate said:I agree with everyone but we all know the most important thing that's needed in this game right now is GUN BALANCE and EVENTS.
i disagree with gun balance. they are not that unbalanced. they are by far not as problematic than any other problem we talked about in this thread. i maintain a neutral position at events.

oh oh oh, can i use your thread to rant a little?
Missions
now that we're talking about timers, tigers-on-parade... do i need to say anything else?, the idea is great for a single player game, but for a competitive multiplayer... yeah, no, unless the attacking team is a lot better than the defending one, it gives the defending team way too much of an advantage. for those who dont know, tigers on parade is a mission where,after completeing an objective, the timer gets added a couple of minutes, to the point where, if you finished the objective with just a a couple of seconds left in the clock, you'll have like 1 minute 30 to do the next objective,
another thing i personally hate are the places in the map that have only 1 way in. total pain to attack those places, specially when you need to climb a ladder to acces, and there are no places to snipe that place from,
Vehicles
or to be more presice, vehicles-objectives. "is the objective a car? ok everyone, grab your pioneers and espacios, because this is now APB: CAR SOCCER EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEME! SO EXTREME THAT EVEN THE BALL IS A CAR!. on top of that, lets not forget the forever rules of car objectives in apb. as attacker: did the defenders arrive first? yes? blow up the car and get to the next location. as a defender: do you like where the car is? no? tow truck it to your favorite defensive spot, and dont forget to block the all doors.
on top of that (and this is just my opinion, i feel it might be pretty unpopular): vegas. sepcially 4x4 vegas. who thought making a sports car, with aceleration so high it allows you to run with VIP/package, with more than enough strenght to push other cars EVEN IF THEY HAVE THE ITEM/VIP INSIDE, and with VERY high hp, was a good idea?
Obvious
matchmaking system (2 golds in a premade team = a pug with 1 gold and 1 bronze. no option for backup ; 3 obviously not-close-to-silver golds = 1 gold, 2 silvers, no option for backup.), threat system, spawns, needs fixing but we all know that.
note: i'd also like a "surrender" option, for those times where you're stuck in a hopeless battle. just sayin'

What bugs me is that having 30 m range (50 at minimum damage) the crosshair is quite big even crouching, so hitting from 15 m+ is kinda impossible.
Shouldn't it have a smaller crosshair so you can use those 30 m properly?the way i see it, the SNR is intended to be used as a finisher weapon. you run out of ammo on your OCA? bum, SNR, thats why it drains 25% of your health on every shot. so... i dont think it was intended to be used as a standalone weapon.
2 hours ago, Leefekyn said:I don't use them, so I can't confirm or deny, but if that's the issue wouldn't the solution be to fix those instead of trying to get another gun to fill their role?
As far as buffing it goes, I'd like to see a very slight accuracy buff, but nothing more. I personally want the gun to keep meme status. If they made it any good, they'd have to change gun game events, as well as daily missions that require kills with it, as it would no longer be challenging.
yeah sure, just let me learn how to program at a level where i can work in a videogame really fast, then i just need to get a job in LO and fix the thing and i can come back to my game. it should take me just a couple of years.

26 minutes ago, Lily Rain said:The standard is that even Admins do NOT know your password, simply because they do not need it to make changes to accounts if needed. This is true everywhere, not just with APB. This keeps people safe from things like: "Hey, I am an Admin, please give me your password to check on your account and stuff". The common lies you hear from generic-Scum..
With that said, I can only see three reasons as to why this thread exists:
1 » OP made the mistake of sharing his information.
2 » OP gave his weapons to an alt-account and he forgot that he did, keeping him/her puzzled.
3 » OP is trying to be a smart cry-baby to have LO give some legendary-weapons to silence him/her.
All in all, any damage is obviously OP's fault unless valid proof is shown.
Rest in peace
actually, the chance of him getting hacked are there, we just have no reason to believe its g1 or LO's fault.
for example: lets suppose OP has been using the same password for years, and its the same password for all his accounts.
now, lets suppose he used to play neopets. neopets had their database leaked and... surprice surprice, the password was not encripted.
other options are trying to do X thing with his computer and ending up with a keylogger in his system.
would someone who has access to that database / install a keylogger in a random's computer, be interested in APB? unlikely.
there is a chance OP tryed to download a hack / the advanced launcher from some... obscure, not trusted webpage too, wich is an easy way to get usernames and passwords, targeted to APB players.
anyway, as you said, OP's fault unless valid proof is shown.

Just now, Rayleigh said:It is not very difficult to understand, if you want to steal me because you only steal my weapons for a value of 5 million if I have 50 million in money and other objects? the answer is that they have more accounts to steal and it is very slow to empty an account and then sell those items 1 for 1 so they go only for weapons, you just have to think a bit is not that complicated
or they just didnt bothered with your money because they didnt cared.
im still waiting for you to answer my questions btw.
-
2 minutes ago, Rayleigh said:the way to steal suggests a large-scale theft, if you get information of 5000 thousand inactive accounts completely empty one by one? no.lo faster and easier is to steal only the weapons and this is my case. Surely if they reviewed the information of the sale of weapons of the year 2017 that was when they happened to see an increase in sales and could follow those suspicious sales easily
so, you're saying they stole your stuff during 2017?

the PIA (polar intelligence agency) got into your hacker's comp, eat his mayo, activated his webcam and took a photo of him. im reciving the file right now, aaaaaaand... here you go:
12 minutes ago, Rayleigh said:It was a quick 1 minute thing to take the weapons and left everything else like 50 million in game money and objects so it is logical to think that it is not just me and that they wanted to do it fast with many accounts, if someone finds out my password and He wants to rob me, he does not leave everything and he takes only weapons, besides they did not delete the mail that they send you in auction when receiving the payment of 10 dollars for the sale of weapon and you can see who bought them the name appears, I doubt that someone enters me steal only weapons buy them and do not even erase evidence of the crime
that doesnt really proves anything. but you said you got the mails, then tell me when did they got into your account?

i find this video highly.... meh
it starts telling you about the story of apb
then some of the flaws
then it says it "failed"
then it finishes
i would say its more of a video about the story of APB more than why it failed (MOST of the time, it spends talking about the story of the game, the talk about the flaws feels like a footnote, and the analysis feels like a footnote for the footnote) but overall, the video feels absolutely incomplete, both as a "why it failed" and a "story of"

I don’t mind that people are better than me. That’s life.. why do golds play in bronze district though. Then once the man ch is over they slag you up for being not as good as them..
i play lay alone all the time and I am pretty rap at apb so I’m bronze just now. Just played against a team of golds.. it’s a mess
sorry, but that mess is apb ^^u guess you'll have to wait till LO fixes the matchmaking and ranking systems.
4 hours ago, Sayori said:You mean "fake golds". Just high-tier silvers.
A good band-aid solution would be to add 1-2 tiers between silver and gold to place those players.
2 hours ago, ShaiShai said:you mean high silvers, when we play in silver district we get our patootie handed to us , say your green /high green that randomly hits bronze now and then, and you play in green district, and make bronze, how would you feel if your told to play in bronze when you know for a fact you cant handle that district, thats how us high silvers feel atm, we cant handle silver district cuz of all the golds there, so unless they fix the threat system (which i hear they want to do) or make districts locked, we all suffer
sorry, no "fake-golds" nor "high silvers". in any case, "bronze-district golds" or "silver district silvers", ready to kick patootie in the bronze district. i've already talked about how part of the problem is both districts using diferent standards to say who is gold and who is silver (gold district bronze = silver district silver). that still means they ARE golds, by the bronze district standards, in a place crafted for less-skilled players. it sucks, but for players as shaishai, there is no place where they belong (too good for bronze, too bad for silver) you eather git gud or play long enough to beacome a dethreater i guess?.

4 hours ago, ch0c_ said:either way its annoying and helps push away new and returning players.
almost needs a rank limit on districts.
eg. if rank is over 150 you cannot join a bronze server.
rank doesnt equals skills. i've met a player that played CSGO for almost a year and was still stuck in silver ranks.
4 hours ago, Sayori said:And then you will throw r255 bronzies to silver district and make it even worse.
Fake golds aren't the problem. The threat system and the matchmaking are the problem. You can't solve it if you don't go for the culprit.
And then people dethreat to escape from the cheatfest in silver because battleye is doing nothing atm.
I was on jericho today, no people in silver financial. What do you do? Go in silver WF and dethreat so you can rank up in finacial.
i do have to agree Sayori for the most part on this post. it points at problems that needs to be addressed.
only part i disagree is the "cheatfest" (last time i played there wasnt that many cheaters but i havent played for a week or so) where i have no opinion about.
1 hour ago, Obvious Lesbian said:if they fix the threat system, people will still abuse how each district is separated by threat level because of this same reasoning of 'high silvers' being so bad at the game they feel the need to go into a district with players of a much lower skill level than them.
segregation was never a good idea. it created different standards for whats a silver and whats a gold. its something we need to eliminate.

53 minutes ago, JimmyMalone said:A fun, fair, and competitive method.
It can completely eliminate the scourge of the phenomenon called "dethreating".
We give the possibility of choosing between Three levels of Threat.
I create a character I am green. (Reached a rank limit I then have the obligation to decide a new threat level).
However from the beginning I have the possibility of choosing between Bronze, Silver and Gold.
For example, if I choose Silver I'm stuck for a period with this level. I will only play in those specific districts for my Threat level.
What does this involve?
It means that only competitive players will choose to show themselves as "Gold" while those who have uncertainties will play as Silver. The others, the users who instead in Silver districs will be in difficulty, will choose the Bronze level.Simple, no?
(You can also block the decision on the downside once you reach an acceptable rank level.
Example: level (?) can not select bronze anymore. )Responses to users:
Hello Nite,
I do not think they should lose their Threat level if that was chosen to characterize them.
Ex1: I want to play with Silver friends without being forced to do so in competitive districts. Or without me having to lose my Threat level along an unfortunate path for everyone.
Ex2: I want to always be competitive, I do not care about "noobs". I want to compare myself with the best ones. The Silvers in my district ruin the matches.
that would only increase the problem of dethreaters. threat ranks should never be used to create a causal/competitive gamemodes. thats what UI buttons are for.
lets say you, player with 5000+ hours in the game, and your friend, with 3000+ hours in the game decides to choose silver and get paired vs a silver with 200 hours in the game and another silver with 30 hours in the game. would that be fair? no. all you've done is to erase the whole porpuse of the ranking system (match players with people of arround-equal levels) and re-porpuse it for a way to choose between "casual" and "ranked" (wich, normally, would be a IU button).
and guess whats going to happend when you do so? yup. tryhards will choose bronze/silver. cuack! enjoy keep fighting tryhards.
i already did a post about the "non-belonginess" of apb, and multiple posts about how the whole matchmaking and ranking system needs to be reworked.

they already did, as sadira pointed out. and if you're too lazy to scroll your mouse, i'll just quote sadira's post.
no need for low ranking, botton feeder, feable "admins" to come say anything, as much as they would like, they cant contradict the head of heads, boss moncho bombocho, CEO Matt "MattyLove<3" Scott, and he already addressed the situation.
like really? do you guys really need an admin to come post a link to the thread where they already addressed this? for what reason? its not a 2012 post, its not "old" by any means, they already adressed the situation, you will be informed if there is any new information you need to know.
do you really want to pressure them into saying something they are not 100% sure? do i need to remember you what kind of stuff that kind of pressure brings? does "engine upgrade for 2014" rings a bell?

it does however instil the fact that i do not want to play in silver districts as i should. people moan about high silvers/gold plated's being in bronze but get the fucking high golds out of where i should be playing. in the silver district where i should be.
high golds go home, fuck off and get out of the silver district. you all caused this problem and it's had a knock on effect right through. rant over even if it's not relevant to this thread. i dont care im sorry but ive had shit from all angles for playing in bronze districts this past week.
many silvers like me just want to go back home (to the silver district they belong in).
flame me go on im past caring.
getting shit from all angles is part of the APB experience. enjoy it!
On 6/19/2018 at 10:10 PM, iTzHaze said:I'm sorry for the rant i just had but i just had to vent. however what i said i meant, apologies for the language though but that is how it is getting me. this whole system is messed up right from the top. gold districts empty? there all in the silver. unfortunately this has a trickle down effect.
i bet the same ones who want segregation fully removed are those same high golds that just want to be able to roll everyone in any given district.
git gud etc... whatever ive heard it all before from the minecraft style graphics using keyboard warriors enough already.
*and again apologies for my bad language in my last post* but that's how i feel.
not all of us.
i want segregation off because:
>> heavy segregation (golds in gold district, silvers in silver district, bronze in bronze district) almost killed the game
>> soft segregation (what we have now) causes the problems you are describing
>> so, segregation is not the answer and is causing problems, thus, remove it.
and just for the record:
-i started playing when segregation was not a thing, the OCA whisper was the only paid-unique weapon in the game, joker tickets did not exists back then. and i worked my way from bronze to gold in that enviroment. it was a lot of fun.
-i believe the final answer to the matchmaking problem will be cross-district matchmaking with a re-worked ranked system and matchmaking system.

yea i feel like matchmaking is really bad and needs to be reworked to separate solo people and groups into different queues.
but the majority will cry about how it will separate the playerbase because they rely on grouping up and fighting solo players in order to inflate their egos and make them feel better.
or it should let a group of randoms get +1 / +2 players against the guys grouping up. you know, just in case there are only 3-4 4 player premades in the whole district
57 minutes ago, Obvious Lesbian said:I don't think server wide matchmaking will fix it.
Doing such thing as that will probably mess with people wanting to be in a specific district, and loading between districts if you're not using the advanced launcher is a pain.
Now if they removed threat districts and just had matchmaking reworked completely, that would probalby work out much better than forcing people to load into the district for one match and load to another for the second.
now, im no profesional -read: i havent worked in any AAA title- but, talking without knowing much, you might be able to "phase" players without loading screens if you do a "server-district wide" matchmaking, that means, for example, all players in all financials share matchmaking. so, when it needs to change a player from a financial to another, the map is already loaded in the memory, and it can just load the information(position, movement, actions) of all players in the new distirct(pretty fast thing, if im not completely wrong, you do it at least 20 times every second) and show them with pre-loaded placeholders (just like when you just join a distirct that you see everybody as a guy with a backwards cap) until it loadsthe actual characters.
20 minutes ago, SelttikS said:Remove the separation of threat while fixing how players are actually rated MMR wise and toss in some sorta of handicap for the higher MMR side and boom then we can have instanced matchmaking across all of whatever district people are in. Sorta like wow only well not exactly.
a "baised rank" for every posible mission spot would be pretty cool. like, "this place is 3 points baised for attackers" means its easier to attack than defend, thus it gives the defensive position to the stronger team.

oh, btw guys, did you know that if you make a lixil symbol and paint it in the secret graffity spot below double B you get a free, unique lixil vulcano? the graffity spot is only accesible by one pixel under double B's feet so you have to look for it,its kinda hard to find, oh, and it'll only show up if you're not on a mission, while another player in your group is in the enforcer side of tigers parade, going through stage 2 while having between 1:10 and 1:00 time left.
