R3ACT3M 488 Posted December 6, 2020 https://will.io/apb/ I've been checking every day now and it still hasn't shown me the populations. Just curious if it's just me or if anyone can shed light on why it might be down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bambola 379 Posted December 7, 2020 It has been down since the last patch. Why, I do not know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nagletz 212 Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) I guess they locked it somehow. There is a russian apb site,https://wiki.apb-r.ru/go/Online, showed population count before, it doesn't work as well. Edited December 7, 2020 by Nagletz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCooper 182 Posted December 7, 2020 Maybe the testing in the engine upgrade has to do something with that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they don't want players to see the low pop. Kinda like, "oh there's no one on guess I wont get on either". specifically for NA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda like, "oh there's no one on guess I wont get on either". specifically for NA I mean, if there's nobody on then what's the point of hopping on? There's plenty of other games to play, hopping on to an empty server in the hope that enough people might also hop on is... yea. The overwhelming majority of the time, nothing will happen and the time spent will be wasted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darkzero3802 600 Posted December 9, 2020 Numbers are down and have been going down for quite some time, but ever since they started doing these weapon rebalances ppl have been leaving at a faster pace. Steam charts still works and it is within the margin of error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if you look at steam charts for EU servers, yea it won't be off my much. But you won't know anything if you play NA like myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes steam charts is overall but it does say how poor the pop is on APB as a whole. Ive checked and of the 500 players on APB during NA peak hrs your barely above 100 on NA itself if 100 at all. LO NEEDS to do something now or there wont be a pop when the engine comes out if it comes out.

The point of playing is to have fun and enjoy the game. Its impossible to tho when the community is as poor as this one is.

Sure that populates a silver dist and or populates fc. That small group allows for variety of people to face instead of the same ones over and over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
