Why your game sucks right now
Yapopal replied to DouglasFalcon's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
I fully agree with you. It's very stupid to spend money and time on a complete redesign of the machemaking, and then throw it into the game and just forget about it. Unfortunately, this is a common practice for these "developers". They "develop" something for a long time, add it to the game and forget about it. No further configuration or modification. The budget has been mastered, the report has been submitted. No development goals have been achieved. Players got unnecessary downloads and an annoying interface. There is no free pool of players in the game, not because there are 300 people online. It's just that you need to create a pool of players, but no one thought about it. All players get stuck in useless, boring, unbalanced matches. For this reason, the players receive almost unlimited tasks. For this reason, the call for help practically does not work. I've written many times about these problems and how to solve them on this godforsaken forum. It's useless. The "developers" are busy with some useless thing again. I mean escalation or streamer mode (potatoes). And let's not forget about some idiotic kiosks that the Arab sheikhs probably asked for. I think this game would be much more popular if the "developers" really wanted to improve the game. I see a lot of bugs that are very harmful to the game and do not require much effort to fix. But the "developers" prefer a different way - to redo everything. However, they overestimated their capabilities many times. Every time. This is usually how fools behave - they repeat the same mistake many times and do not draw conclusions. -
I do not know who in your gang is adjusting the characteristics of the guns. But I can say for sure that he lives in a rainbow world with zero ping. For the second month in a row, I have to buy a subscription to the program optimizing routes for connecting to the server. Thanks to you, some more competent team has earned 10 bucks. The Legends patch is just a set of game mods from the second day. Ctrl+C, change characteristics, Ctrl+V - that's all your work. You continue to ignore the problems of the systems that you have added to the game. For example, matchmaking. Why am I being forcibly transferred to another copy of the area for an ending mission with a clear command imbalance? Why the hell did you spend time, money, and effort on machemaking and then just forget about the subsequent setup and finishing? You immediately change the characteristics of the SBSR rifle, seeing it as a threat to the metagans. But why don't you see a threat in the characteristics of the metagans? In this game, the word meta is synonymous with the word broken. I repeat, you live in a perfect rainbow world without ping and lags.

It would be fun if a shadow ban reduced health and weapon damage. These factors will turn everything upside down. The cheater takes the place of his victims and becomes a worthless laughingstock.

I sympathize with you. If what you wrote is true, then try contacting customer support. The chance of luck is very doubtful. I came to the conclusion that some of the players are using cheats because other players are exploiting vulnerabilities and breaking the game. Today, after restarting the servers, I got into a concentrated soup of veterans of this game. After a while, the game crashed. There is no desire to come back at all. The game has become a shadow.

Please fix the bug that turned this game into a wasteland... Just turn around and you will see that all your efforts are empty. The path you're on is almost over. He will lead you to disgrace and ruin. Who you've been listening to for years is your enemy. He only says what is beneficial to him. The game is dead, as is the studio that owns it. I've seen this sunset twice already. There is always one scenario. Always, at all times of the existence of this game, she was killed by her own owners, without realizing what they were doing. Keep up the good work. You have no place in game development. -

Oh yes, thank you very much for supporting the newbies. All these innovations are very useful... Not really.) Even the best weapons won't help a beginner against jumping level 255 dummies in black clothes. Matchmaking is exchanged by newcomers like a trifle in a store, creating the appearance of balanced matches. And your wonderful anti-cheat is useless as long as the cheater does not experience any obstacles when creating a new account. Little Orbit, as usual, is engaged in some nonsense satisfying the needs of a bunch of players who make this game a "competitive shooter". God, it sounds stupid when you play this game. -
APB:Reloaded Networking Update
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Is the game working? After selecting a character, I get to the main screen. There are 200 online players on Steam charts. Repair, removal and old methods of solving the problem do not help. And most importantly, there is no information about the status of the game anywhere. The forum, discord, and steam page do not provide any information. -

I described the general situation in the game. I explained the essence of the failure. Explained why this game has such a bad reputation. Explained why the population is declining. I don't understand why you're explaining the obvious to me. I don't strive for victories and I don't complain that someone is playing better. My goal is to develop the project, improve the quality of the game, eliminate a bunch of bugs, and restore the population. Evaluate the current situation: The developers have spent months of work on creating inter-district segregation, anti-cheat, fuc.. escalation, and streamer mode. Money and time have been spent, but nothing comes out. All these new developments were brought to the table by "professianal" players. They did not affect the attractiveness of the project in any way, they added a new batch of bugs. In most cases, the stream of this game will be anti-advertising. No one is interested in looking at a blockhead in blurred textures. Tell me, is it worth listening to professianal players after that? Anti-cheat has banned cheaters (silvers who think they are the smartest), but it has not eliminated the problem with a bad reputation. Because the new matchmaking continues to mix "professianals", and as you called them, casuals (who make up the majority of the gaming community). Inter-district matchmaking should aim to place players in different copies of districts, focusing on their skill level. Instead, the players got loading screensavers and the same unbalanced matches. I don't see a fix for the problem here, but rather the addition of new problems. One of them is escalation. It is beneficial only to "professianals". And it is a source of pharma. It breaks the structure of missions. Everything that has been added to the game lately does not make it better, on the contrary, the game is getting worse. Visually, this can be assessed by looking at the "new car" and taking a ride on it. A schoolboy-level job making a car mod in GTA SA on Saturday evening. Another problem is that after adding new features, they don't try to bring them to mind for many months. -

There is such a thing as common sense. There is a lack of common sense in many things in this game. If we describe the situation using the example of chess, the situation is approximately as follows: - The developer made a chessboard. -An ordinary player who wants to play this game places the pieces on the board and makes the first move with a pawn. -"ProfessiAnal" players sweep all the pieces off the board, grab the board and hit the skull of an ordinary player. The professionals won the game. The game is over. An ordinary player goes to the forum and writes about the problems of the game. Or he concludes that he was beaten by cheaters. installs cheats, log in to the game, and goes into a ban. ProfessiAnals, in between battles on the boards, go to the forum and start laughing and accusing an ordinary player in comments that he does not know how to play, he has problems with the network, and so on. And another problem is that developers listen specifically to "professiAnals". Literally, all the innovations added to the game recently are focused on "professiAnals". Developers create an environment that is beneficial to professionals. That's why the game has been forgotten for many years. A normal player with a sense of common sense and at least some respect for others will not play this toxic piece of an incomprehensible substance. -

Do you need specifics? Specifics: The general point of view is that the average player dies from gun five shots. The point of view of the average gambler: I was killed with a pistol using one shot. The killer's point of view: I put five bullets in him. Why do these two players describe the situation differently? Because this game is broken, rapid-fire pistol shooting breaks moving animations. The server does not provide information to the victim gradually, but in an instant. The health interface doesn't have time to work. All the players at the top of the leaderboard are essentially bug users. They exploit all kinds of vulnerabilities in the game, turning the gameplay into the contents of a cesspool. But the administration ignores this, they have more important things to do. They're busy shoveling another pile under their feet. They don't have the resources. All their efforts to improve the game are destroyed by the players themselves. A streamer mode has been added to the game. The developers spent time on this. To advertise and promote the game. Have you seen the streams of this game? It's just impossible to watch. This is anti-advertising! That's why this game has such a bad reputation. That's why the most popular reviews about this game contain complaints about cheaters. -

If the development team has such experienced people, then why have they ignored the gameplay issues for many years? Perhaps their opinion is not taken into account in any way? Or do 20,000 hours of gaming experience have no effect on competence? A simple example of a complete misunderstanding of the game: A common problem is that the opponent takes the briefcase away at the last stage of the mission. The obvious solution to the problem is to limit the task execution area. The developers are introducing a speed limit for loaded cars. That is, the problem of one system is solved by changing another system. Bottom line - all cars become useless, the Vegas car rules the ball. The original problem has not been solved, a stable system has been de-stabilized. A serious problem affecting the outcome of the mission has remained relevant for many years and has not been solved in any way. -

Another simplification of the gameplay will once again harm the game. The start-up capital and bonuses will not lead to anything good. This will not add interest to the gameplay. You're not interested in playing your old account, are you? That's why you created a new one. I agree with the fact that it's hard for beginners. It's not about a lack of resources. The point here is that all the game changes are directed at a bunch of jumping dummies with a machine gun, a rifle, and a fucking AP 45 pistol. I don't understand why we should interfere in the same fight between a chihuahua (bronze) and a bulldog (gold). It doesn't make sense. The lack of common sense has plagued this game for many years. The high dynamics of the gameplay is designed for a local server. Interdistrict matchmaking does not seek to organize players by skill level (then why is it needed at all?). The game doesn't work well on default graphics settings, and beginners don't give a shit about third-party applications that are completely unrelated to the developer company. APB is primarily attracted by the customization system, but its development has been completely ignored for 10 years. Matt Scott does not understand what he has in his hands at all. What the hell is a competitive shooter? APB is a competitive shooter to lick the minds of a bunch of bouncing dunces from the leaderboard! Chess will also make a great shooter, it's worth believing it. -

And so it will be. These developers don't have a goal to develop the project. This is evident from their actions. I can't imagine a beginner who might enjoy the game in its current form. And the gaming community cannot live without newcomers. Updating the Legend has no effect on the quality of the game. Just dust in the eyes. Copy, paste, tweak the settings, change the name - a typical content update of these "developers". The number of players will rise for a few weeks, and then fall back to the basement. The game is not capable of retaining players, it is not capable of providing a healthy competitive gameplay. The developers are not doing anything to improve the quality of the game. Well, who asked them to fix the bug with the car doors? Okay, they fixed the bug, but another one appeared. The character does not leave or get into the car if the door is half open. It is necessary to open the swing door as if it were the door of a limousine approaching the red carpet. Why not remove the cargo-carrying bug from the game? Just add a two-second delay before the sprint. Why was it necessary to slow down the speed of loaded cars? This did not improve the quality of the game. It just increased the number of Vegas cars on the road. Why did you add the "Autosprint" feature? It's not enough! Add the Auto-Aim feature It's awfully convenient! New players will enter the game in droves. I can name many more such holes. But who needs it? Matt Scott? Or Psydaka? Not funny. Do you know why the population has declined so much? I'll explain. There are about 50 players with NTEC and AP 45. These players set the pace. You can find them on the Leaderboard that Matt kindly suggested (it's not clear why you need it). There are roughly 300 players who can't make 100,500 kills, but they want to be important. That's why they use all sorts of crap for which they were banned by a great new anti-cheat. At this point in time, there are 50 Leaders left in the game, 50 twinkies, 50 idiots who continue to suffer for some reason, and 5 newcomers. -

This is provided for in the project development plan, but is not a priority. Unfortunately, the development team has to spend all their energy washing their pants. (It is noticeable that even the regulars of this forum have lost all interest in it.) -

Tell us about the progress of work to improve the quality of the network. I have trouble interacting with other players. I don't understand when they start shooting at me. The character's health decreases like this: ----_____ I have no problems with the network, latency is 60ms. There is no packet loss.
