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

08/21 MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
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. -
Why doesn't the third port district appear? The other two districts are completely filled. The inter-district selection of players is working. Why doesn't the game distribute players by skill level using the new player selection system? Let's say if the number of players is 80, the game tends to fill 2 districts. If there are 100 players, the game switches to the mode of distributing players by skill level, dividing them into 3, 4, 5 districts.

People don't like surprises. Kevlar is one of them. Something like: - Haha, I'm the great father of the game, now I'm going to kill this noob with my AP45 pistol. A noob kills the father of the game. The father of the game looks at the characteristics of the noob, trying to justify himself in losing. And here it is! Saving excuse - Kevlar 3. The father of the game is justified, the noob has heard many new words about his close relatives. Classic.

Players pay tax from the auction, buy ammunition and supplies so that the market is not oversupplied with currency. The price of a piece of clothing is most likely not determined by anything. This function is needed to withdraw money from the game. In fact, you are outraged by the difficulties that the game creates. But it doesn't get interesting to play without difficulties. I do not support the current policy of simplifying the gameplay. All the innovations that make the game more convenient and flat kill the interest in the game. Here are examples of such simplifications: Disabling VIP missions, reducing the speed of loaded vehicles, automatically replenishing ammunition, adding respawn points to vehicles, degrading the danger level system... All these innovations are designed for a limited circle of people who worship the cult of jumping snipers and AP 45 pistols. I would call them flat-earths, or rather flat-gamers.

15th Anniversary Launch Party
Yapopal replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Has the game improved after fixing the animation of boarding the car? I'm afraid not. This innovation is confusing because of the too large range. Why aren't developers addressing escalation issues? You created it yourself! Finish it at last! Why do we need these useless crossings to the area where the mission ended? Why do I need an automatic escalation call? Especially at the end of the mission? Why is the load transfer error ignored? This is disrupting the game! The number of interested players playing now is an indicator of the pointless efforts of the developers. STOP SPOILING THE GAME WITH YOUR DEVELOPMENTS! OR AT LEAST CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF!
