Is cheating even the main issue here?

 

The broken matchmaking system that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work, starts unfair matches without backup, this is not fixable before the EU? 

 

Dethreaters who see cheaters everywhere and as an excuse go to stomp new players, so many of them quit after the first or few play sessions?

Matchmaking can only do so much with 40 players to choose from, most of whom will already be in a match.

At some point in the past when this wasn't a problem, this only happened if someone abandoned mission before opposition came, now it just starts opposed missions such as silver and gold vs gold and gold, even silver and silver vs gold and gold without backup.

 

I don't have an obsession to win every match, it's ok to lose a match when the teams are somewhat equally skilled.

I'm sorry, are you saying there was a point people didn't complain that matchmaking was broken?

Wierd flex but okey.

Off-topic, but felt like I should reply. Admittedly, I have a hard time to keep up with contemporary slang, especially online. If the term 'flex' means the same as it used to in the '90s, then you probably have used it in the wrong context, I was sarcastic, wasn't showing off in any way. Not something to worry about, anyway, just thinking out loud. 

[FakeBungo 248]

Is the population dropping due to that cheaters ain't getting banned?
yes, and because they unbanned cheaters

Is it dropping because we almost keep versing 24/7 the same peoples?

yes and no

Is it the communication between LO and the community?

yes, LO sucks and doesnt even play their own game(s)

..or just cause of that the "Eninge Upgrade" is not getting live.

no, no1 cares about engine upgrade its cringe bro. for example minecraft got updated and no1 even likes the new minecraft

Yeah it used to work much better years ago, back then it wasn't colorblind, it's been like this quite some time.

Well I just realized that this game is piece of garbage and stopped playing. I only check forums to see if anything has changed.

Someone should make a thread: "What would make you consider playing APB missions once again?"

For me :

- Player pop trending back up

- Effective anticheat

- New content

- Improving scoring, mission & loadout balance

- Good & reliable server performance

 

Are we there yet?

Just for a bit of perspective, while pop IS at an all time low, it is not much lower than before LO took over.

 

Here are the Steam numbers (which cover more than 90% of players)

Bottom arrow is the last month before LO took over, top arrow is last 30 days:

 

You can also see that pop has actually been INCREASING in recent weeks.

To make people analyze and compare the pop trend in a game with such small-scale base and fluctuations poses a pathetic situation for a gaming company.

You dont get the main point.

 

Pop analysis is common in every game, but that with players arguing over such small figures to discuss the future of a game poses a dreadful threat to the concerning company. This shows its inability to attract new players to come in and so that even a small fluctuations in population can raise concern and become a discussion topic among players

When you type differently than you speak it comes across very awkwardly.

Well I didnt say pop analysis itself is a wrong thing to do at first, which was argued by Glaciers:

so i clarify this at my latter post firstly:

Then I once again states my standpoint of this and further elaborate my idea:

Sorry for any misunderstandings, but there I dont see any contradictions in my point as well
