Separation to "green", "bronze", "silver", "gold" districts After the system of dividing districts into "green", "bronze", "silver", "gold" was broken, the online began to fall every day. If you look at the statistics in Steam, then after the division of districts into "green", "bronze", "silver", "gold" was broken, we can notice a significant drop in the number of players. After the release of the New Horizon update, the number of players increased, but newcomers were faced with the fact that they are forced to play against players who play APB constantly and have much better game skills. Everyone says "play better, noob", well, here is the result, from 1200 players online after the update today there are already a maximum of 800, although yesterday there were 900+. None of my friends want to go to this trash heap anymore, I don't see buying JockerTickets in Armas to try to knock out some legendaries in the store, since this game has become sharply difficult for me. Moreover, when Inova and Gamersfirst merged, the ability to write in Ukrainian was removed. Before the merger, Ukrainian letters could be used without problems, but now there is no such option. (Some kind of discrimination based on nationality) Another problem is players whose nicknames are written in Cyrillic. Players whose nicknames are written in Cyrillic regularly block missions or simply do not allow me to reach the mission by ramming my car or the car of my teammates. They especially like to block mission objects if their "comrade" plays against us on the mission. It is simply impossible to send a complaint about such players with Cyrillic in their nicknames if you do not have a Russian keyboard layout. Thus, players who use Cyrillic in their nicknames receive complete immunity to reports from European players. This is not to mention the fact that I regularly receive a ton of xenophobic statements from players from Russia just because I have UA in my nickname (since my other character already had this nickname without UA). I've gotten used to getting tons of toxic comments and wishes for me to die as soon as possible from a Russian missile. I liked the idea when Inova players were on their server and didn't bring their toxicity to European servers. (I already want to transfer my character to the US region). Cheaters and tryhards It's also no secret that there are cheats on APB now and they are free and paid to access on the Internet. In addition to cheaters, there are also just players who play as if they were playing with cheats and you don't know if you were killed from 80 meters with a Colby .45 cheat or skill. I talked to newcomers to the game and not only newcomers, everyone as one says that they are tired of Gold players who don't give them a chance to take a step. Just yesterday, in my presence, several players simply didn't want to go on a mission because there were Gold players with cheats or a very cool skill, in my presence, players quit this game forever. Here are some graphs from Steam DB: Here are some graphs from will.io: In conclusion, I can only advise, at least for now, to return the division of districts into "green", "bronze", "silver", "gold" so that new players play against new players, and players who play poorly play against those who play poorly, and to prohibit "green" players from getting into missions where there is at least one "gold" player.

Baylan and open conflict waterfront is not available

Hello! Before and today I want to play in waterfront district (because I have progression contact only in waterfront), after 20-30 min. waiting - enemy's absent. I thought why? And I saw it. I have gold threat... My next actions: Exit from the game... :( I understand, these limits made for a long time ago, for those who all time cry on the forum... It's true and everyone knows it. But if this is a game with an anarchist meaning, then why are these artificial restrictions made for all players? I do not want to do like others players - to lower the threat (to silver) of deliberate mission losses. Sorry! English is not my native language.

When we get kicked for inactivity or the client gets disconnected due to any network issues, its only natural we return to same district we were before and this will cause the game to stop displaying HUD markers like objectives, teammates, mission items and sometimes even the enemies on Deathmatch events. IMO, we could just be moved to a Social District or even the character selection screen instead of disloging entirely. Maybe this would help until you can fix the HUD bug and if players could be moved to a Social District wouldnt lose any group and/or messages and some session settings like Contact Pledge and Daily Activities, etc. Unless the event is triggered by geting removed from and return. Then the only way is to make a diferent district type just for this, an empty district would load fast and maybe you can put a Joker Vending Machine but not much else, and this would be good as first district to load and for players to be moved to when inactive. (ofc this could force the bug to occur in case the client get disconnected before the player chose any district so having 2 of these would be required to prevent it by making clients to alternate between them) Thanks for your work on improving APB, it actualy seems a little better and I'm just hoping the engine update will bring fix on a lot of bugs and problems the game does still have. Hoping it will take it to a new era of APB playing. (in any case, sorry for my english but i have it set to portuguese so i see it all underlined)
