12/10 MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
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. -
APB:Reloaded Networking Update
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
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.) -

Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
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. -
APB: Reloaded AMA with Matt!
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
I agree with you. LO is constantly trying to jump above the ceiling and it spoils all their efforts. They clearly lack the ability to assess the situation, their capabilities, and time limits. I am sincerely grateful for the anti-cheat. It functions really well. But at what cost has this been achieved? And what it led to. I can't call it a good result. Do you disagree with my opinion? Here are some examples for you: 1. the release of an unfinished car, ignoring the problem of light signals, poor quality of the 3D model, textures, and deranged characteristics. At the moment, the car is not of interest to players and developers. Why not refine the 3d model? Fix bad texturs? The players were just left with a piece of undercooked meat. It seems to be possible to eat, but somehow it doesn't chew well. 2. Inter-district matchmaking of players. They did what they promised. But have they made progress?. No. Are they doing anything to remedy the situation? Yes. They're just stomping around in an attempt to clear the pile under their feet. 3. The anti-cheat is developed based on previous solutions and experience working with them. Lack of strength and resources. Rush. The result is a blue screen, antivirus blocking, and loss of audience. One scenario in all endeavors is to jump over your head, shit yourself in flight, and shovel a pile. I'm grateful that I can play this game. But I am sure that further development of the project in the chosen development vector makes no sense and will eventually lead to a commercial collapse. -

10/15 HALLOWEEN PATCH ANNOUNCEMENT
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Yes, you're right, it's impossible to shoot weapons faster than the game provides. BUT why do sometimes the first three shots from the damn AP 45 merge together, I get a freeze frame and then I just see the death of the character? Perhaps fine-tuning or configuring Flavs will help me. But I always speak on behalf of a random player and a potential client who decided to download this miracle from Steam. A random player will simply delete this miracle and will not look into it. I don't understand why this bad shooter was given an upgraded customization system for the once great APB game. -
10/15 HALLOWEEN PATCH ANNOUNCEMENT
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Please tell me why three random crappy players are equal to three gold players from the same clan? What is the essence of your work with matchmaking if this nonsense has been going on for many years? After your last "painstaking work", I get completely unbalanced missions with a huge team imbalance. You've redone this damn matchmaking many times to no avail. It only causes problems every time. From what I've been observing for many years, I can draw a conclusion. That you don't see the ultimate goal and don't understand what exactly the goal is to improve something. You have been ignoring for many years the problems caused by the game's performance and the AP45 pistol. Many players don't use graphics configurations and fine-tuning of the client, they don't give a shit about it. There are most such players. Why do you keep listening to assholes for whom it is of great importance that something like this "Accuracy At Ten Meters decreased from 34 to 33"? All the weapon changes for this patch are just stomping on the spot. I'll add to that: The real reason for the complete failure of melee weapons such as the OCA or the JG shotgun is the current characteristics of secondary weapons. Carrying a suitcase or bag quickly is something that really needs to be fixed many years ago. -

10/10 MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Some suggestions for matchmaking: 1. Matchmaking should strive to sort players into copies of districts based on the player's abilities. 2. Full settlement of a copy of the area should not be a priority. 3. Prohibit the initial entry of single players into the district if the number of players of any faction exceeds 35. This will give the units a chance to move between areas. 4. If the mission timer is less than two minutes, block the possibility of calling for backup (escalation) from another copy of the district. 5. There should be no bronze and gold players in the same mission. The opponent selection system is based on the threat level of the player. But the threat level does not reflect the player's skill level at all. Picking up an opponent works very, VERY poorly. -

Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Thank you for promptly updating the information on the forum. -
You are not alone in your problem. You're just the only ones who are looking for a solution with such tenacity. The administration should roll back the client version to stable and then resolve the issue. I am surprised by the loyalty of the community to this company of fans of poles and bicycle wheels.

It was a revelation to me today. Crouch hold and auto sprint have been added to the control settings. I never understood the people who used it and equated them with cheaters. For example, Crouch hold is executed lightning fast. The animation is too fast. Auto sprint, makes it easier to move from side to side when shooting aimlessly. The opponent using this feature practically teleports from side to side. OSCAR, AP 45 hello. Stop turning chess into tic-tac-toe! It spoils the game, makes it not interesting.

Thank you. It helped. I wonder why the anti-cheat update that causes launch problems is not commented on by the developers.

Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
The anti-cheat update failed, the game does not allow you to go beyond the character selection menu. The problem with Kaspersky anti-virus has not been resolved. I still have to turn it off in order to update the game. -
Oh, I come across this a lot. My nickname is written in Cyrillic. This can be translated as I got into trouble, or I hit the target. That is, this phrase can be interpreted in different ways depending on the situation. Every game session, they write me the same type of jokes or ask me a question about where I got to, meaning something from behind. Due to the fact that my nickname is written in Cyrillic, I often get into meaningless conflicts. The attitude within a random team of players is also not the best. Never answer these fools, and don't prove anything to them. They are not interested in your point of view, they just want to assert themselves or your attention. I advise you to immediately add them to the blacklist and forget about them. Why do you even care about the words of a person you didn't know existed 10 seconds ago? Why are you wasting your time on it by posting a post on the admin's forgotten forum?

09/17 MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
They are aware of this problem, but they do not consider it a priority. Therefore, they do not provide any information on the forum. Soon they will be broadcasting online on Twitch at the same time as the cheaters' broadcasts. Matt Scott will answer Matt Scott's questions, but they won't discuss your question because they don't consider it a priority. They prioritize topics discussed in some kind of chat with a group of very important chickens (players). By popular demand (three important chickens and two bots), they consider disabling VIP missions or the number of rifle cartridges a priority. They do a very important job of recruiting players and fighting cheaters (they interrupt the game for months and ignore it). Thank you for your patience. This is rofl. -
09/10 MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
What do you think influences the players' interest in the game? New content? Not for ever. The new content is a beautiful glowing invitation banner. Newcomers come to this game thanks to a screaming banner about a unique customization system (which the developers have long given up on). The opportunity to express oneself through creativity, the opportunity to demonstrate this creativity to interested people is APB. Skirmishes, factional rivalry - all this is the background. I don't understand why developers put the background ahead of the main action. Perhaps a bunch of close "experts" can be blamed for this. The discussion on the number of rounds in the AP 45 and similar nonsense has been dragging on for years. APB is a very crappy online shooter. This worst part of the game has become the main one. An unoptimized, lagging piece of shit, the victory in which depends only on the degree of modification of the client, mouse settings and the conscience of the player. Developers openly support third-party applications that affect performance, and therefore advantage. This is the bottom of the swamp. Twitch is a good advertising platform. What kind of ads do viewers see for the game? Developing a new fashion or car design (self-expression)? Team clan work (social component)? No! Viewers see another jumping idiot with potato graphics and Nokia 3310 phone screen resolution. This is the bottom of the bottom of the swamp! New content, another anti-cheat will not keep players in a game where everything that can be broken has been broken. Adding a leaderboard and God forbid clan wars will destroy the game completely. It will begin with the harvest and end with self-devouring. -
09/10 MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
The popularity of the game has noticeably dropped recently. Perhaps this is due to the fact that developers are throwing dwarfs at the target in the office? The problems of the game are solved for a very long time, or they are not solved at all. Adding new content adds new challenges. The game is dying just like the Russian version of the game was dying. Exactly the same. -
The problem is that the NTEC and AP 45 players are aiming for maximum productivity. To do this, most of them use various tricks to gain an advantage. This is getting to the point of absurdity. Twitch streams are an example of this. The most popular reviews in the Steam contain approximately the same message.: There are a lot of scammers in the game, the game is lagging, the meta weapon dominates. I am one of the 300 regular players and I can dispute these claims. But who needs it? The new player draws conclusions based on common sense. There's not much common sense in this game. As an example, I can cite jumping snipers, pistol shooters moving at supersonic speed from side to side, and so on. Over the 15 years of the project's existence, the successful experience of the game has degraded and fallen to the very bottom. At the moment, it all comes down to exploiting various loopholes, use bugs, using third-party graphics configurations and management settings. No balancing of weapon characteristics, no anti-cheat will help here.

Golds kicks new players from mission
Yapopal replied to PonuryZniwiarz's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Why combine gold and bronze players in one mission at all? It's like playing with kittens. It's annoying when escalation is triggered automatically. Especially at the end of a mission. The reinforcements don't even have time to reach the battlefield. The commander has to answer angry messages after the mission about not calling for reinforcements. -
Observing the regression of the project's development, I can conclude that the main type of activity in the Litle Orbit office is dwarf throwing

Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Server crashes have become more frequent recently. This happens for various reasons. Maybe you should create a backup server in case of new changes on the primary server? Without transmitting player progress data during downtime from server to server.
