Farbon Ciber 65 Posted February 22, 2020 So I thought I would provide my feedback on the new addition of East and West to the districts it appears that mostly East districts are being used. This puts west coasters at a slight performance disadvantage also districts have been more laggy than before this change what is the plan to keep the remaining population around? waterfront is not even available rather often sorry, I realize I veered away from feedback but this also needed to be mentioned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alani 475 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) welcome to apb in 2020. enjoy ur stay there is no plan to keep remaining population around. Edited February 22, 2020 by Alani 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PotatoeGirl 220 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) You just move to citadel and hoping that the population there doesn't die as well. Lets face it. There is no way out of this situation unless they merge the servers into one. Thread segregation or not, they can't just pick add more people to the game to make it playable if there aren't any.

NotZombieBiscuit 3146 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) At least West/Central servers were playable for me from Aus. But East kinda kills it. Edited February 22, 2020 by NotZombieBiscuit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5379 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I think the addition of East/West options is more for the future than the present. APB is a money sink right now. Unless the big changes happen the game is likely doomed. So everything is probably geared towards being able to do a sort of relaunch of the game. Current pop probably doesn't matter so much both because its too small to keep the game afloat, and because the game currently is not in a state in which it can attract enough pop to be profitable. tl;dr keeping 400 players happy is maybe a lower priority than making the game profitable for the future Edited February 22, 2020 by CookiePuss 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The new localised instances was the latest move in preparing for the future of APB with phasing being the new way matchmaking is going to be handled. Bare in mind the vision of Little Orbit is to not have coloured threat districts and rather localised districts and the game with match up players by threat automatically. As for population and waterfront, yeah nothing has changed there in the past 2 years. It may feel diluted with new instances but I believe Little Orbit will be putting out new content and effort in attracting new players after the Engine Upgrade Previous media and advertising campaigns have given a rather short burst of new players. But because APB is overall does looks old compared to other modern games, and gameplay experience has been a steep learning curve as well as uninviting, not a great number of new players have stayed. It has been a running chicken and egg debate of whether should effort be focused trying to up the population numbers and the issues surrounding them or fixing APB and finishing the Engine Upgrade.

ShaiShai 130 Posted February 23, 2020 I like the changes but whats bugging me and well it probably a bug too is that when you select a friend and click on "join district" if gives you a error message saying that the district is not found , you can however manually join them (going to the district list and clicking the one they are in and clicking join) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You dont have a NA pop left so its whatever dist gets populated is where ppl go wether it be east or west. More segregation was exactly what we needed to make fuller districts no? #sarcasm 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More segregation was exactly what we needed to make fuller districts no? #sarcasm Been trying to get my nephew to play with three of his friends. Whenever he does play, there is no population so he leaves. But we should just not do anything about it until after the Engine Upgrade #doubledeluxsarcasm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
