Darkzero3802 611 Posted April 11, 2020 We all know pop is an issue and we all complain about it yet ppl still sit in social all day instead of actually playing and populating an action district. Either log on to play and help keep the game going or dont, but do realize your not helping fix the problem your causing it.

If it was wed all get our exp by sitting afk in there all day. except social districts have consistently bypassed the population caps that have been enforced on action districts over the years, nah totally unintended for social to hold more people haha between the customization and the social mmo aspects of apb, social district is like 50% of what makes this game - if you force these people (most of whom very likely do play "as intended" from time to time) into action districts all you're going to do is lose another chunk of players its also kind of dumb to pretend that the people sitting in social are the same people who complain about low action district pop, by your own words they don't play in action districts so why would they care if action districts are empty? 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haganu 104 Posted April 11, 2020 Can't blame the people for getting bored of stale, repetitive gameplay, often against people you already know and know to (dis)like over and over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NotZombieBiscuit 3146 Posted April 11, 2020 Social district is playing the game though. Customizing, talking, trading/selling, etc. These are all just as important as missions. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why should they not log in at all? You high? Edited April 11, 2020 by CookiePuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ezmegaz68 168 Posted April 11, 2020 no, what this says is a quarter of the playerbase inculding me couldn't care less about pvp forcing people to play pvp would be a great way to lose even more players 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sadira 292 Posted April 11, 2020 You want more AFKers in your missions? Because that's how you get more AFKers in your missions. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fenton 210 Posted April 11, 2020 Title did not say it all. IMHO - Social district is the main place for customisation; which is one of the things that keeps me coming back to the game. It's also the main place to trade and just hang out for a bit and be, you know, sociable. Populations thrive on community. If you don't give people a place to be sociable, you isolate them. Lacking space for downtime and AFKing leads to longer log-out times and subsequently, fewer people willing to boot the game up and hit the action and fight club districts.

Mitne 724 Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) This is first time I saw somebody complain about existence of social district. Are we having group of people actively trying to kill in-game population or what? And if you boot this people in action you think what gonna happen? At best they gonna just drive around and don't do missions. At worst, they simply don't turn on APB since what's the point if they wanted to do stuff in social...

GhosT 1301 Posted April 13, 2020 Social is part of the game too, like it or not. I've spent countless hours there designing various things and speaking to people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fortune Runner 796 Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) In all honesty , with so many people online lately from the stay at home order , I'd think instead of complaining of social district that you would just go play missions n stuff.

Yeah you will tell me or to anyone else which district will I or they play at. Funneh Aside that, social is vital part of APB. All trading, meeting people, hanging out, customization happens there. There will be more players, when EAC actually gets updated, because meeting constantly same cheating trolls in repetitive missions gets people to afk every 2nd match and its quite tiring up.

Tell me again how thats not helping? Cheating has always been an issue and for some reason this game has always had inadequate anti cheat. If GMs actually had ban power and were constantly in game correcting issues this wouldnt be such a big issue. If this community wasnt so highly toxic it would help as well.

Tell me again how thats not helping? you’ve convinced me, social district is unnecessary our next move should be to petition little orbit to remove the district entirely, to stop advertising customization for apb, and to remove all existing customization (no refunds) i bet there will be literally tens of people who are just waiting to jump into a subpar shooter with absolutely no customization whatsoever and the only thing holding them back has been the existence of social we’re going to save this game bro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
