Ashn 40 Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Hi all, So basically, When ever people need a GM in APB they are nowhere to be seen but when we don't need them poof they appear so i am forced to open a support ticket also make this post as i really don't want to. WE ALL need active GM's in districts and not in social messing around teleporting people onto building etc yes its fun etc but there's no need. Also i do understand most if not all GM's are stuck with the updates but i am sure a few GM's can hop around districts to watch or help others within the game. The real reason why i am making this post is because i cannot report this player for cheating because i do not have a keyboard that can type Russian letters so therefore i have been forced to open a ticket that would take weeks to even get seen to..

gordIsMyName 104 Posted December 11, 2019 agree. if you are going to have them, the majority of their time should be in action districts. also, there is nothing wrong with them being in social to take a break from the gameplay. totally understandable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes exactly. I have not seen one GM in a active district for weeks maybe more. but then again i do understand they are probably busy with their own life.

Darkzero3802 611 Posted December 11, 2019 LO has slowly been reverting back to old G1 tactics when it comes to GMs. They have all but vanished and dont actively monitor districts to remove bad players and keep things on the up and up. If there arent enough GMs hire more as tbh there should be enough GMs to cover half of the avail districts to properly enforce the TOS. Lets say there are 12 districts on any given day, there should be 6 GMs online and active. Granted not all districts are populated but if this is the case you have multiple GMs in a highly populated dist to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What you have to do is clicking "Whisper" in the scoreboard and then you just edit the text erasing the /w to replace it for a /report. That's how you report someone when you are not sure about special symbols or fonts on their names. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5379 Posted December 12, 2019 As I understand it, GMs are almost always invisible when in game. This is likely to try and not be a disruption. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case then why doesn't LO make some sort of command you type and that some how triggeres a GM attention to come to the rescue or something along those lines that way a GM could speak to you through /w instead of making threads and support tickets that don't get seen till a few weeks down the line.

Also to hire more GM's then APB needs more profit , and that is not likely to be stable enough to hire GM's until the engine upgrade so that major problems can be fixed.

Ashn 40 Posted January 2, 2020 What's the point even having GM's? like none of them are even active we don't see any of them unless there's a crappy event. i have bumped into many cheaters who are speed hacking, aimbotting etc, the customer support is absolutely terrible like 35 days response time really? I do have high hopes for this game but the way it's going now sadly them hopes are fading away 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
