I've heard these arguments before and I agree with them in principle. But I have to believe that Matt Scott and his team made the decision to release RIOT before the Engine Upgrade in a strategic move, it would boost player numbers and keep the game alive long enough till the Unreal Engine 3.5 is finished and can be released. We really are in minimal player population numbers right now and RIOT may just be what we need to keep APB afloat just a bit longer Despite bad first impressions, Once Unreal Engine 3.5 is released is when APB:Reloaded can really show what it is worth, get new content and have PR promotional events. But until then, we are scraping the under carriage on the runway before take off! Yeah... Battle Royale is not defined by team based gameplay nor is it defined by a collapsing map, these are only modern BR feature. If 2018 Slaybells was anything to go by then I think Matt Scott said "collapsing map" in a moment of having a lack of a better word, Again I don't think it's going to be a consistently a circle that shrinks inwards. But that all remains to be seen.

I would like to think Little Orbit is already aware, and yes tests were done by players and multiple forum posts were made... But how can Little Orbit prioritise fixing 1 gun over any other? You know what I'm going to say now too don't you. They're hard at work with other projects including the finishing touches to RIOT, mitigating the Nekrova and Citidel merge, UN3.5, ETC. I cannot believe staff at Little Orbit have slowed down the pace of work when their progress has been consistently quiet condensed. It may be a couple of minutes or hours job but with some other higher priority tasks that have been waiting longer and even neglected by Reloaded Productions, I don't think the community would react in a very positive to further delays.

Well the Institute website updated during the time I was at work yesterday. A new factory opens up in San Paro with more details to come but vaccine production is still on going. "Emergency override" giving approval to proceed on human trials being rushed. Also Redhill Institute was cleared in court after a 27 employees have reported injuries, but they were all conveniently failed drug tests in hospital... I find myself unable to rule out unable to also rule out that the new sewage system built may of contributed to these failed drug tests. 2 new job postings? "Litigation Attorney" and "First Officer - Pilot"

As much as it would make the feel more friendly, Sometimes the problem teammate IS the leader. Also this does not apply to fight club where most people go to grind LTL as it does not affect threat level, not reliant on instance population and also FC has very much more focused combat without as many or any distractions of objectives to complete. Also a valid point --- Uhhhhh... This is a habit I already do but it doesn't work all the time in open spaces. Just to be clear, There have been times when I have tried to give cover to an opponent that I am trying to arrest, and have been deliberately shot at none the less for a kill/arrest steal. --- I do realise that and do help educate new players as I go along but while what is done is done, those potential arrests are still a loss of time and effort in both the match and to the cop rank if working towards it. Regardless I shouldn't also need to explain to a new player DON'T SHOOT THROUGH ME WHEN I'M IN FRONT OF YOU! But while being eager isn't a bad thing, it can be too much of a good thing and being trigger happy doesn't help if not controlled. --- Also to make LTL feel less unfair, give an option to "respawn now" rather having to wait for the rescue opportunity cooldown before the respawn process starts. I hear frequently from criminal players that this time period is just frustrating, and that it is a delay to get back into a time critical mission. I will agree that is an unfair disadvantage in some mission context.

They added the number "32584" to the billboard as well now? The website doesn't seem to of been updated upon first glance.

So Enforcer A stunned and arrested Criminal 1. Criminal 2 comes along and shoots Enforcer A dead with a CSG before helping Criminal 1 escape, both criminals walk away. ...I don't see what's unfair about that... Sorry, it may seem cliche but it is regrettably true that if you think Less than Lethal is unfair then you'd going to have a less enjoyable time if that player was using lethal weapons. Once I've been shot dead by a teammate as I go to make the arrest before that same teammate actually arrests the criminal I stunned! (I did report them.) Again a few times I've been shot at while making an arrest become some new player doesn't realise what is going on. And sometimes they do kill me before I finish making the arrest and sometime they kill after making the arrest... before shooting dead the arrested criminal anyway! Countless times my stunned opponent will be shot dead before I get to even start making the arrest, or shot dead while making the arrest. Sometimes by accident or out of mercy by fellow criminals. Or again having my stunned opponent shot dead by another enforcer before being I get start/finish the arrests. Having arrests stolen by other enforcers who want the kill and cannot respect the fair play, is one of the most infuriating things. It does result at times to team killing or stunning in retaliation, but sometimes it is just a pure accident. There have been times when I've throw a grenade but then the criminal become stunned but I'm not sure from where/who, and then the grenade goes off killing the stunned criminal. Then the less than lethal enforcer stuns/kills me in retaliation out of what was just an unfortunate badly timed accident. It is infuriating none the less. You think it's not fair on criminals? It's not any better for the enforcers that put themselves in harms way to get an arrest on top of the stun. Please, I do encourage you try and get a few arrests on a enforcer character, say at least 20. You really have to see what it is like trying to get arrests, and then consider if it is unfair for criminals. It doesn't feel fair on anyone, despite the reality that it's not greatly unfair.

I highly doubt it will happen due to Little Orbit opening themselves up to potential legal action due to using Marshmello's likeness without his permission. If they did try and get his permission then some sort of legal document would needed to be written up to prove that both parties are in agreement with this use. Little Orbit is a business and are making profits off of APB:Reloaded. If there was content in game which they do not have permission to use then they can be taken to court as they could make money from it at someone else's loss. This is why cars in game have unique names like the Dolton Boardwing when we all know it is a Ford Crown Victoria but by design. It's not an exact detailed copy of the actual car. At the same time, Little Orbit would be giving advertisement in their game for other's content but also be at a loss when they could of have been paid for the advertisement. Tasty Burger has a mascot that is a clown, If Tasty Burger was changed to McDonald's without some notice to McDonalds then again highly doubtful that McDonald's would pay for advertisement that was originally free and didn't ask for! Again even if original brand holder did benefit, they can still demand for it to be stopped as permission wasn't asked for. Failure to adhere to the cease and desist order would lead back to court. Players in game can get away with because they are not making any money with their own copy of costumes, music and pictures and the original creator isn't making a loss so it can be considered for fair use. TL;DR A business cannot just use other people's work without some sort of permission. If they did make money off of other's work then they can be taken to court for the losses to the original creator. This doesn't rule out making a helmet that is just shaped like a cylinder and a generic top and pants, but it just can't be MarshMello. You can make it into it other clothing and a helmet into Marshmello but Little Orbit can't make it for you. It's not just a costume, that outfit is an image that he puts on so you can identify him as, it is part of his brand.

He's talking about clashing preset mods.

I agree with Zolerox that it seems a bit of a stretch to call it content but statistical break downs would be a pleasant addition none the less.

The vehicles chosen are cement trucks which are the biggest and heaviest in game, it seems like a deliberate move to disrupt player traffic because of this. If a player created and based event was going on then it would be advisable to just block the right half of the road to stop NPC traffic. NPC traffic be subject to a full road closure with staggered opposing right sided blockade, but there shouldn't ever been a need to obstruct the entire road at 1 single point

It doesn't look like a electrocardiograph, It could be a bloop pressure but I don't think it's intended to be any medical related visual representation. For what it's worth. there is clearly a positive correlation of red taking over the blue... In APB what is represented by the colours red that has been on the rise, and what is represented by the colour blue?

A single line of text from the game launcher/updater was the start and I think only source of speculations for the Red Hill Institute of Tech. vehicle... To be honest, I think it's just going to be a NPC vehicle that is redesigned to have RedHill markings and details

I don't think APB would be greatly popular on the Switch due to it being Nintendo, a family friendly company. And as others have pointed out that APB on a console like that would be a technical challenge to do.

The ntec 7 compact is somewhat of a concept item which was never released to the full game and I don't think it's in the Open Test Server either.

So any thought on having separate chat channels for different languages. General is was already becoming a bit of a mixed match mess before the merge.

Redhill is a name of a suburb in San Paro which I'm sure you know. I'm a Red Cross volunteer that live in the south of the UK and I know a few other members that are contracted Red Cross Ambulance crews that is based in a town by the same name of "Redhill" in Surrey England. The English town's name isn't two separate words forming a name, but that doesn't rule out Redhill being a double barrel name in San Paro. Because I know contacts in Redhill Surrey, I've used and will continue to use the English town's name format out of personal choice.

...And you want this with a unique animation? Do Little Orbit have animators yet, because Reloaded Productions didn't for a long time.

If someone wanted to break into your APB account, and they hacked into your email to do it. That is a very specific way to go about getting something very specific. This seems likely to be of been done by someone that knows you. As StarGazer said, 2 Factor Authentication is currently the best back up. It is good internet practice to change all passwords ever few months, each one should be unique and used on different accounts. Honestly APB is a game which is 18+ so I'd like to believe that a majority of people here are adults, and are wise enough to no need a Public Service Announcements.

To retain high textures and high frame rate? Not much can be done but wait for APB's new engine upgrade. The Ryzen 1600x has 6 cores but APB:Reloaded currently runs on Unreal Engine 3.0. Unreal Engine 3.0 has the flaw of only working with 1 core thread which is where main bottle neck is. Little Orbit are working on and refining Unreal Engine 3.5 but there is no confirmed estimated time of arrival. You can try downloading the APB Advanced Launcher to lower some of the more finer details in settings.

Which server is it that he is trying to connect to?

It seem rather evident that some changes are needed to combat and maybe driving to bring APB up to day gameplay wise. Not sure where to begin but I agree on the localised damage to limbs and head. I would suggest that car impacts should have damage that is proportionate to the vehicle's speed, not just being killed after jumping over a Macchina Calabria doing 8mph because that's just illogical except to a computer.

I think a lot of people fail to see what you are without a visual representation. Even with a few examples, I feel that a few rearranged obstacles is not going to be game changing enough to really act as an incentive for people to play any more than they are already. Sorry but while it may be fun for the 5 minutes, that is all it probably be.

Everyone just give him a bit a space, the OP just needs a bit of time to get used to the game.

Couldn't agree more with having focus being on getting the game up to standard. Having APB running in a way that is optimised to modern hardware can only be a positive to attract new players and maintain existing users.

The frustrating part of this is that this is a Autumn Assault and Valentines Day are both holidays... This was a opportunity to make new rare/exclusive rewards but Little Orbit use a gun skin and glasses that they thought was unused. In the politest possible way, one would hope that prompts from the community to make new content wouldn't be needed.
