Because the population is not big enough.

Solo queue district is a very bad idea but they have to make the matchmaking WAY harsher for premades. Little Orbit has to find the balance between having a good matchmaking and a meager population. The matchmaking of apb they are working right now has to adapt to the current population of apb and also be able to cope with the increase of players in the case of apb becoming popular once again.

"5 minutes"(it is way more time) that are the most important ones becuase most people dont play beyond that. Small things like buffing this "unimportant" car could make a big difference for people during those "5 minutes".

Reading the full post before commenting can be very helpful btw,not just reading the title of the post.

Yeah the cosenza has a slightly better top speed but the calabria is AWD and the cosenza is FWD,also the biggest difference is the torque,look at the graphs of vehicule torque ,the cosenza has 6 peak torque and the calabria has 30. That is a 24 points of difference.For reference at its peak the vegas has 120 torque.The bigger top speed doesnt matter much because the cosenza takes two years to reach top speed,the accelaration of the macchina calabria is way more valuable. When it comes to free to spawn four seaters ,the han veo or the balkan ravan are way better options. The cosenza needs it torque increase so it can compete with the rest of free to spawn cars. The trial is a good option for armas,but for contacts,it is stupid,there is no point in trying something they cant get at that moment,they can trial a nulander pioneer for example but u cant not get one until u are rank 70-80 or something like that and it is 0 slot,it is garbage.A 50% off discount for the first contact vehicle they buy with in-game cash will only help veteran's alts because new players will waste that in a 0 slot cisco or something like that,but the veteran will not buy any cars until he can get a 4 slot pionner or espacio for half of the price. The mommy minivan like u said need to small buff to be level with the rest of the free cars,because unless u buy something from the auction or armas,unlocking the top cars with 1 slot takes a lot of time, u need to be around 150 rank I think for a car like the vegas,pioneer,espacio,etc.

All cars are free to spawn the first time you spawn them in a district. There are some cars that are always free to spawn like the Han veo, machina cosenza and calabria,etc. Others cost 25 like the dolton montane,the broadwing,etc. Other cost 50 like patriot t-25,dolton fresno,etc. And others 100 like the vegas,vegas 4x4,coywolf,etc. The amount of mods slots doesnt matter for the spawn price.A vegas with 0 mod slots costs the same to spawn as one that has 4 mods slots.

hahahaha true, still a buff wouldnt save them of that happening XD True but cars like the macchina cosenza arent mean to be anywhere near the meta.When it comes to the current meta ,there is only one car the coywolf. The other cars that are free to spawn are way much more better than it. I am not talking about it making it as good as a vegas or something like that,just level it up with the rest of free to spawn cars. Like I said the buff should be so it is as good as the han veo for example, another free to spawn car.

The Macchina Cosenza is arguably the worst car in the game,but it is given to new players as a gift.Due to being a gifted car,you would expect it to be better than the Macchina Calabria(the default car) ,but it is clearly a much worse car than the calabria. So yeah buff the macchina cosenza or remove it as a gifted car. I dont have a lot of idea about balancing in general but I think the biggest problem with this car is how little torque it has. The ideal point would be making it as good as the han veo. This will improve a little bit the experience for new players,and it will be helpful for the missions where this car appears.

It would be already quite the feat if they didn't ragequit

The short answer to that is not playing the game rn,it is not worth it, if you aren't a gold with a premade ,you are basically cannon fodder. If you are a "fake" gold,a silver or a bronze,golds want to play against you, not with you.

The day they sold the IP,everything was over for APB

no news is good news if APB had at least 1k players but in this state...

Slowly but steady we are reaching the stable population of 0

The reality of the game is that it sucks,so it is normal for people to complain when something is unfair.

i am sure that having 255 golds cop witness green and bronze players with less that 10 hours ingame is what the og devs inteded it to be

No one is saying APB has the best customization in 2022,it used the be the best customization but not anymore,now it is good but not the best

Wow what an useful criticism,thanks to you now i am a pro

It is not like I have problems with every shield user,but yeah i understand your point, they are not as OP as i thought they were (except epherine injection it takes 25% of ur health not 50%) but this is not a thread about epherine injection,but it can be resume on how versatile this consumable is.To be honest i have learn a lot thanks to this thread that is why i made it in the first place xd,becuase i knew that people countered the shield + medspray i was struggling with against people that are really good at using it.Still i think they are cheesy and annoying becuase consumables in my opinion are mean to be used in a pinch,not in every interaction i have with a person,i feel consumables are in a way how remote detonator users used to play when the mod had no cooldown basically spamming it ,with gets annoying real quick,just increasing the cooldown will be ok for me. The good thing about consumables is that are expensive so it force people to spend some money(veterans) but for newbies/less experienced players they are definitely too expensive but these players dont use them anyway so idk

Shield is not a consumable anymore it is an orange mod I play EU,sounds fun though lol Merged. Car spawner is broken but you can see the car spawner in the map,u can also use a car spawner ur enemies has as ur advantange because you know they are gonna try to spawn there. But consumables and the shield are just stupid mechanics to save your patootie when you should be dead.Ur enemy cant use consumables or shield to his advantange they dont have a flaw/penalty by using them like other cheesy strategies like remote car detonator,car spawner is already super broken to you .Now u can car spawn and in top of that use epherine injection,ur car spawner was in a bad position,car blew up but had high burn fuel,no worries u have a new cover called shield and if u are low in health just use med spray and u are full health and in cover in no time. Like glaciers already said here,u think u are a pmg god and push something u shouldn't have pushed,just pop a shield and medspray and u are ready for round 2 or pop a shield and and use epherine injector and you are out of the situation in no time. Add that to the fact that people love to put, thanks to the shield the suitcase in the final stage in inaccesible places. U can nade someone behind a shield,but they can use medspray and it was like u didn't hit him with nothing Personally for me shield + consumables is like a more refine car remote detonator with less downsides. They are just bandaids players use to fix bad decisions they made

Ik the problem relies more in the shield + med spray strategy,I just hate it because it is a cheesy strategy Yeah but sometimes there are more than one shield user in the op team,or I run out of grenades,also you can basically spam shield + medspray almost every time you use it.(30s and 45s cooldown)

To begin with shield and med spray weren't mean to be used together,they were both consumables but LO had to change it

We are not playing fortnite,we are playing apb,as an exconsumable(btw remove consumables from the game) the mechanics behind the shield are super dumb and paired with med spray which btw still as broken as always,it allows you to turn the situation around,a situation where you would get killed 100% of the times,now most of the times u make it alive and killing the guy that 85 you.

Just make it so if u havent played more than 1 hour in the last 6 months,u cant type in the forums,problem solved

That already happened and it wasn't a good idea
