RuiFilipe 5 Posted November 3, 2020 You have a new matchmaking system planned for APB 2.1 (that my computer wouldnt run...) and its more needed RN more than after it turns a top line computers only game. You are thinking for top line pc newbies than for people who already knows the game but just cant find a match for 5FPS computers... (BTW, we dont know how its going to workout for them on APB 2.1 as they probably will have to wait long before some highend newbie gets matched). And no, going to empty green districts is not solution for that as they are... EMPTY 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMessiah 430 Posted November 3, 2020 After 2.1 is live the matchmaking gonna improve by itself cause many players will come back and all threat dist will start filin again.So no rush with the new matchmaking.First we must see if this game gonna be able to get once again thousands of players.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KnifuWaifu 499 Posted November 3, 2020 I'd love matchmaking to take ping/fps into account, but I was pretty sure that the Threat System did a pretty good job of sorting those things out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RuiFilipe 5 Posted November 3, 2020 Lol now I can join but cant have a break just geting instakilled and lose over and over while with APB 2.1 I wouldnt even be able to join as it failed to launch during Beta test so it will keep me out for good. Now the 1k player base wet dreams: Imagine new players with top line computers eventualy installing APB 2.1 and then -> option 1: geting matched asap but geting stomped by vets. -> option 2: having to wait forever before other low shows up and gets matched. One of these can lead to: new players with top line computers can just try some of other 2590 shooting games and end up forgeting this wonderfull game they cant understand or accomplish any of the proposed objectives. Is not my job to understand why I get good and bad match on other games but on APB I only get bad match. Is just my opinion or suggestions. If it calculates by rank = newbies geting stomped by low rank veterans, calculating by rating = it gets pretty much the same... Note: you dont see me teling they should match on ping or fps, I just dont say why not. What i meant is, if there is some new matchmaking system for APB 2.1 maybe it wouldnt be a bad idea to try it out on Live version before release of 2.1 version. Merged. Or dont... Wichever is just greatits fine Cross districts doesnt seems possible with current engine and they look too confident about it but.. puting all players on the same pool where we know there will ALWAYS be veterans downthreating hard and wild no matter it calculates ping fps and what not so...

RuiFilipe 5 Posted November 4, 2020 It dindt worked on my computer but it is low end, its natural it dindt worked. Theres a lot of games I cant play on it and APB is turning into one of them. Is natural, its evolution and hopefuly a good sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Green and gold districts NEVER filled. Not then, not now not after the new engine comes out. You have too many ppl abusing the threat system and too low a playerbase.

Not then, not now not after the new engine comes out I doubt about that.I remember when Asylum become permanent map(was 6-7 years ago?)and there was big influx of players on obeya EU server back then.Was for kinda short period but /pop on peak daily hour from 1700-1800 increase to 2500 players and gold districts(dont remember green)both financial and waterfront-was full.So i guess we will see..

We might be different servers as im Jericho NA. Aside from that failed period where golds were forced into gold dist which brought on the wrath of dethreating green and gold have never been populated in NA. Matter of fact green threat in its entirety has never really seen enough ppl to warent green districts to begin with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darkzero3802 611 Posted November 5, 2020 23 hours ago, TheMessiah said: that time wasnt forced was like now anyway It was. There was a small time period where the old G1 made it so that if you were gold threat you couldnt be in any other dist besides a gold dist, if you went gold while playing you were kicked out and forced into gold dist. Since golds didnt want to face others of similar skill lvl they came up with dethreating and this forced move backfired so horribly that G1 was forced to change it to what it is today. However dethreating hasnt stopped cause ppl want to stomp all over newbies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kommaranda 44 Posted November 6, 2020 I see the tags matchmaking, abusers and assholes and am thrilled, rightaway burning to join the discussion about dethreating. What do i have to suffer? Some random third worlder wants fps based mm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
