Uhtdred 240 Posted August 28, 2019 São Paulo is a better city to host APB. Apex legends, for example, has a server hosted there instead of RIO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Edited August 28, 2019 by Uhtdred 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inquitoria 108 Posted August 30, 2019 Merging names seems like a really, really fucking bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DouglaSAS 1 Posted August 30, 2019 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revoluzzer 274 Posted August 31, 2019 On 8/24/2019 at 3:06 PM, MattScott said: 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. On 8/24/2019 at 3:26 PM, Nitronik said: 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Costaluke 0 Posted September 5, 2019 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. source: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmilyFace 300 Posted May 2, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
