If you would for once read more than the title you would actually understand what is different between this and a traditional merge.

If you would pull your ego out of your patootie more than once you would actually understand what is different between shitposting and wasting time on giving a fuck about a community of shitlords.

São Paulo is a better city to host APB.

 

Apex legends, for example, has a server hosted there instead of RIO.

I'd say Rio rather than Sao Paulo to allow players from Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Perú and Bolivia get better ping, Sao Paulo data centers gives almost the same ping as U.S. around there.

I'm not sure about that, but i do agree that it need to works to every south american player, i believe the Hoplon servers were in São Paulo

Salvick is wrong. Rio is more northern than sao paulo, that's why RIO is actually a worse location to arg, uruguay, chile, etc.  Sao paulo is closer to all those countries..

 

Rio would be a better host for those in colombia, venezuela, even Mexico (ofc USA hosts are better for mexicans).

 

I had 50ms in Hoplon and salvick said sao paulo gives almost the same latency as a USA host?  I play NA with 180ms.

 

Sao Paulo current ms in apex legends: 48ms

My bad, you're right. I was mistaking Sao Paulo with somewhere else in Bahía, that's why my confusion. Thanks for clarifying it.

 

@Caio Sparkz just forget what I said @Uhtdred is right. So both, Rio and Sao Paulo are similar locations in regards of latency.

Merging names seems like a really, really fucking bad idea.

Finally, a good news about servers. I was already getting tired of having trouble driving in the game.

 

@MattScott, please consider a server in Sao Paulo. It will be better for the BR's and other Latin Americans players.

EDIT: This move is a prerequisite for Phasing, which eliminate the need to spam click in an effort to join a district with 79 players. Instead we will match across all online players in the same district type and move those players to the best server for them.

Will you remove manual district selection (i.e. the list view) in the process? I think you really need to get people out of the habit to try and join "the best server" by joining the fullest one (which might not even host players of similar threat). Even as an interim solution before phasing.

 

Also, do you already know how you will manage servers with phasing enabled? Given that large numbers of players were always a weak point in APB's server performance and hosting a lot of players in one single district won't be necessary anymore then.

Hopefully this will be the best of both worlds type solution

Although I can't help but take this merger as a sign the times are dire

For all intents and purposes this is how APB's server structure was originally intended. The times have been dire for several years, this is just a move back to the roots.

[Senodus 49]

What if I have a character with the same name on Citadel and Jericho and logged into both recently? How will this be handled? 

[WaIeed007 65]

If the merge happens i'ii actually start playing again.

[supermariobrothe 80]

Matt please tell me it wont be another lost mail/legendary weapon fiasco

We need to do this to fix the /report & mail issues and to prep the upcoming Jericho and Citadel consolidation.

Might as well switch to a font in which we could differentiate between "i" and "L" then.

If APB comes back with a SA server i'll play this game again, if not i'm not playing again and i think many more brazilian players think the same as me. I make part of 2 groups in facebook with around 200 members each, made for brazilian players, a good amount of people in those groups saw this new post and are looking foward for a APB server in Brazil. I think APB will have at least 100 players coming back to the game (being pessimistic) if a SA server is made. For me and my friends i can say for sure that we are not playing this game again until a SA server is made.

Hopefully, it won't mean i am not longer allowed join into districts my friends are, kinda like that new mode stopped us from doing.

I see in the chat here while you're setting up, the name release. So let's talk about that, we're switching gears a little bit the name release is still going to happen in a way. We are going to go through and clean out some of the old names we want to give people enough time to come and claim them. Specifically what we're going to do though is we're going to change the strategy of names so that we can allow for someone to have effectively conflicting names it's similar to what happens on Discord. I think as things have improved over time, servers and new systems have come up with better ways to handle naming in general so we're taking a little bit of a page from other systems to figure out a better way to handle naming.

I still wonder where the other things have been, clan names, world consolidation etc.

Matt should jsut update this topic instead of making milions of them.
