R3ACT3M Posted December 6, 2020 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.
Bambola Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 It has been down since the last patch. Why, I do not know.
Nagletz Posted December 7, 2020 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
RCooper Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Maybe the testing in the engine upgrade has to do something with that
NotZombieBiscuit Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Because the game is finally shut down. 3

KyoukiDotExe Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Keep in mind this is a player project, not one run by LO themselves. 1

I do know that, I mean if LO were to block the site somehow, it is keeping me away rather than making me want to log on and see what the pop is

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

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.
MonkaS Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 I think ddos protection is on which in the past has broken it.

Darkzero3802 Posted December 9, 2020 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.

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.

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. Its saying something when a community like Fortnite is nominated for one of the best communities out there. 1

OK, I need to rephrase it, STILL going down hill since LO took over.

Zolerox Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 geez, It's up btw, I talk to the guy that manages the site daily it breaks pretty much each update.

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.
