I wasn't asking for GM's to post more. I was just making a reply to the person i quoted and telling him that to combat the hacker issue, have GMs in the game to get rid of them. That's really the only real solution to the problem to make things more at ease. But if you know how to deal with the cheaters, they shouldn't bother you as me much. Me personally, i think its funny , that a player sucks so bad at a game that he has to use cheats to win, doesn't solved anything in the long run, just making that person look like a fool.

Well, i was referring to online GM's in the game watching, tracking and banning hackers. But good to know there's more GM's around. On a personal note, the cheaters in the game isn't the problem for me, i can deal with them, I'm just ready for the engine upgrade, mostly for better graphics, bloom back in the game, etc. Sorry but the graphics/visuals in the current game look muddy and at night there's no bloom , its hard to enjoy the game lol.

I guess you weren't here years ago when G1 had Good GM's who were let go and fired from the company , some of them fired for doing their jobs for banning cheaters, one of them was suspended or my guess punished lol because as a request by me and other GM's from other companies / one GM who work for me in my Clan follow these cheaters for weeks to get proof, and submitted proof to him about 4 cheaters and he gets called out on it for banning them. it was a whole video about it on youtube, but i think someone removed it. , one was fired for using dev tools(he was allowed too, he is allowed too) and he was reported by cheaters, the cheaters get to the stay but they fired that GM. LO GM's? who lol. I only see two staff employees posting.

This message isn't just for me, its for the entire community. So no need to send a private message. Also, are you talking about this https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news That's not a road map lol. Do you even know what a road map is for games?

Hey Matt and other staff members, can you guys release a Road map for APB , like what is the future plans for this game? I read months months ago, that G1 wanted to expand the two map districts , a new map, finish up Asylum and expand that, new engine upgrade with better graphics (that's on the roadmap). I was working on a video about 3 years ago going to show G1 an idea on how to expand the two main districts, actually there are stuff already in the two maps that can be expanded / open up for extra areas to explore, if you guys want me to finish up that video and show you to give you some ideas on basically "new enviroment changes" that can be added to the game without the engine upgrade being release first, i can. Its up to you. But i am curious what is the future for this game, can you tell us?

I do think they need to hurry up and release the engine upgrade or like i always say bring back the RTW / Steam version which is way better than the current version that is available now. That doesn't seem like its going to happen, but at this point what is the future, road map for this game? Game seems like its not going anywhere in terms of progress. Whenever they do release the engine upgrade, a new map district takes about 12-13 months to create, I'm just not sure where this game is headed too. Seems like nowhere right now. They could release more new videos of the engine upgrade to give people some hope, but they haven't even done that.

Quote: " where else would all the people who invest time and money in hacks and cheats be able to play? " Fortnite, Destiny 2, and every other mmo game like they always do. Quote: " bots everywhere. so many rerolled players who are just there to ruin it for everyone. " The bots aren't the problem honestly, yes they can be annoying sometimes, but it sounds like you just don't have the patience to deal with them. Not sure how long you have been playing, but after what 8 years or so, you get use to it lol. Usually what makes me feel better when i fight them is getting footage from them, not that sending in the footage will get them ban, but just the satisfaction of catching someone cheats always helps me deal with the nonsense. On another note, there was a GM name GMBlackbeard who was fired or left go from the company from doing his job, along with another GM name GMZieu. Basically G1 got rid of these people for putting a dent in the cheating problem and who listen and cared about the community. Back then the cheating was easy to dealt it. My guess they got fired because it was messing up G1 flow of money, because the fact is the majority of the money is coming from closet hackers anyway. Quote: " harassment in the chat " You know the ignore/block button actually works, might want to use it My advice, play other games. Destiny 2 is fun and so is the original Defiance ( not the 2050 version ). Those are the best MMOTPS/MMOFPS games out right now.

You guys do realized i also said in the title RTW/Early version. Early version, i am talking about the (steam release) better visuals, and older threat system was in place. They could revert back to that version as well and just bring back the old gun sounds and tracers, etc. So i wasn't just talking about the rtw version, when the game was release on steam it was better as well. But if you guys don't agree, that's cool. Peace

Numbers don't lie, laugh all you want, make jokes, talk sh** all you like, look at the current game and the numbers and how bad it looks. You guys are the ones who are delusional. But that's cool, carry on.

Sounds like you need to upgrade your computer, because i never had any performance framerate problems playing All points bulletin or APB Reloaded. The only issues were the lag which was really crazy slightly after the steam release on Colby West and Joker. I always find it to be funny honestly, had me in tears sometimes when the lag started to show up when everyone was moving in slow motion. But as for framerate issues, never had any issues. Nothing i said was insane, you just don't agree. I completely understand why the numbers are low , i warned them years ago it would happen after they removed the threat system and firing all the best GM's who were in the game around that time. And don't even get me started on monte removing / changing whatever he did to make the game look a million times worse. Those are just some of the issues that cause the numbers to drop. RTW was the better version, if you don't agree, that's your opinion. Like i said though, I'm pretty sure more people will be playing the RTW/early apb reloaded version over the current version if it was release, and that's a fact.

Not delusional at all. I told you guys what would happen after Blackbeard was fired, and i also said by removing the older more fun threat system what would happen and i kept telling them the old staff what to do and they didn't listen and look at where we are now. You can disagree all you want, i know what i am talking about. I'm sure that more players will be in the RTW version if it twas release and this is a fact. Sorry if you don't agree.

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION EVERYONE, IF YOU DON'T AGREE, THAT'S COOL. JUST VOICING MY VIEWS ON WHAT I THINK SHOULD HAPPEN. No offense, but the game population is low, especially on NA. EU isn't so bad. Let's be real ok, the RTW looks better, the textures are better, the skies look better, the bloom is better -----------> ( in the current version, night time looks muddy and you can barely see anything because there's no bloom/street lights ) <-------------continue...... The RTW version has a better threat system, the threat system is more fun, made the game more fun due to the fact that it felt like we are trying to achieve something, it made the game overall more fun to play. The sound effects are better especially on the guns. Blue tracers, etc. I guarantee you if you re-release this game/version on steam and elsewhere with a patch ( that only fixes certain performance issues ), you will have over 5000 players back in the game on NA. But you have to promote it a certain way with new features, but with the RTW version intact, 50% sales, 30 days of free premium. Just my opinion, but the current version of APB is not only boring, but the game looks ugly as hell. So ugly and muddy looking its hard to enjoy the game lol. Not only that, without that old threat system, game is pointless to play, its like we are playing it with no purpose.

I didn't think i use all the trial weapons, but thanks for the info. Fortune Runner: No i didn't quit. I take breaks, long breaks and i may show up every now and then play. But like most people, i stick around waiting for the engine upgrade and hopefully something more later. So I'm still around, but i barely play the game. I said this a long time ago and i stick to my word, if the old threat was still around and the old better graphics from RTW/early steam release, i would play this game every damn day. Sad how boring and ugly the game is now.

Can the team bring back that please, it was fun trying out new weapons , its important. Thank you

Y'all do realized that the game population is so low, that's the reason why things like this happen. Mostly on NA, because on EU servers you don't see that nonsense as much, Gold and silver districts are pretty much always fill up. The New company should release the old threat system from the pass and hurry up with the graphic engine if they want the NA servers and servers to have more players. I keep telling them this and i told the old team this, but clearly they are not listening. I wish they bought back the old threat system, it made the game more fun, worth while to play, felt like i was playing to win something to achieve something, now its just bored after a few rounds with no real rewards, even worse if you don't have premium. In fact the game is pointless to play without premium, because the payout is so damn low. I would spend 500 dollars right no arams/premium if they bought back the old threat system.

I think they need to go back to the old threat system from RTW/Past, it made the game more fun, but that's just my opinion. Second, can someone confirm that HQ bloom settings are in the engine upgrade? all i care about the most are the graphics haha , because the game is ugly as hell right now. The game is so ugly and dull and muddy looking, i don't even play it.

where do you see the new threat system,?

Matt, i just want to know one thing. Is there going to be HQ bloom settings in the engine upgrade? That's all i want to know.

LMAO OP.

I lurk around the forums, but i don't play the game. As for what i have been saying, yes every few months i will come in and read a post and say the same thing. I would however like them to post some video footage and "more" screenshots.

In other words, the engine upgrade isn't coming until 2020, maybe summber. lol man. Not sure why i keep trying to wait for this sh**, what is wrong with me?

no offense, but when's the engine upgrade coming? Seriously. All that other stuff, is not going to bring numbers up/players back.

If you ever seen me in the game, i always say i am taking a break or leaving again until something good happens. I never ever said i was officially quitting the game, i just take breaks from it. Even when i said a long time ago that i was retiring from APB, i also said i will check back 2 years later to see if anything new happens. obviously nothing is happening. So on that note, despite what i said, what i have been saying since G1Blackbeard was fired, and when the old threat system was removed, that they killed the game and looking now into the future, i was right. I am always right. If you don't believe it, so be it, but the numbers don't lie. They should have never removed the old G1 team, and they should have never removed the old threat system and beautiful graphics( monte) . Now in 2019, the new team, is releasing all this other nonsense instead of what we want. Wake up, geez. I know what i am talking about it, i said it years years ago what would happen and boom, its happening. meaning nothing. Its also 2020, nobody is getting any younger.

Maybe because the fact is, we want the engine upgrade and nothing else. IMO, i don't care about any of this stuff they are releasing, just release the engine upgrade, better graphics and a new map district already, geez.

Would be nice if Matt would answer my question's. If you can matt, can you, thanks. #1 are you guys still planning to expand the two main districts and add more environment changes? #2 Are you planning to add HQ bloom settings similar to RTW/early steam release, and make it optional in the visual/graphic menu? #3 what are the odds of bringing back the old threat system, which made the game more fun #4 any change of any rain and snow in the future/engine upgrade? #5 also, i have some ideas that would help with #1, i was planning to make a video about it, would you like me to do those videos and give you an idea/photos, etc thanks .
