Community: Why is Waterfront always empty?

[Memes 0]

Everyday I get on its typically 4-10 people total on Jericho. Why is this? 

Any plans to help this?

[vsb 6171]

theres usually one day a week where the community decides its time to level wf contacts

 

its so empty most of the time because its a frustratingly unbalanced map

[Thelnformer 63]

I always check districts for 1 free slot whenever available (when it's full) and level the damn wf contacts whenever possible 

[Seedy 324]

i prefer waterfront map

[Spheri 66]

That's because waterfront usually is a "defenders wins the round" map. 
Now that may sound common in Financial too, but Waterfront takes it to the next level where points can be seen the moment you respawn. That's not all either, usually the points you have to attack are horrible camp spots, and that with the HVR/Ntec meta going strong right now it's a pretty hellish map.
Clearly not everyone's cup of tea, nor is it mine.

Waterfront is horribly mapped spawns as stated above can be seen from the points themselves, there are no CQC fights whatsoever you can't even have a proper NHVR game-play without OCA people coming behind you from a random spot.

"Crossmap contacts pledge is bad"...

Performance tends to be shithouse on waterfront. Don't know about anyone else but i can go from a pretty smooth experience on financial or fightclub to constant packet loss & high pings as soon as i load up waterfront.

Waterfront

Did you mean the low fps hvr zone?

Community, why are the gold districts always empty?

'Because everyone wants to go to silver district to play against other golds'
Why is waterfront always empty
'Because financial is better'

[GhosT 1301]

I prefer waterfront because it's way more appealing to look at and to drive in, also feels like people have more variety in their weapons there.

For objectives.. yeah, a lot of them should be moved into cover so defenders wouldn't be able to defend most spots from everywhere.

 

But since most people are max ranks, or are on alternative chars they don't care about, they go to the more balanced district, which is financial.

Because the maps were designed around the original TTK/no weapon dropoff, so big open spaces and the HVR weren't the problem they are today.

Waterfront FTW. Best map. Too bad ya'll hate it. I have no problem playing o WF. But currently I'm struggling to Up Aletta to Level 20. It's getting hard on my nerves.

[Bornstellar 108]

Because its poorly optimized, unbalanced garbage.

[LilyV3 323]

I prefer waterfront too, more driving involved, generally a bit more beautiful. but some locations have their own issueswith beign too open and too snipereasy.

I got no premium so its hard af for me :') Waiting for the game to be fixed to start throwing money again

[Havi 2]

Waterfront is actually my favorite map. I can't wait to see new maps in the future of APB: Reloaded with this new awesome team!

[CookiePuss 5377]

I like WF if only cuz it makes me switch from OCA.

- no tier 6 contact there

- more cpu intensive, less average fps

- more camp spots from more distance make defense easier and attack a living hell.

- current hvr/ntec meta

- veterans/aimbotters have an edge on mid to long ranged fights.

 

Pros

 

- kewl highways (we need street races)

- kewl graffiti spots

- nice sea view

Tempelton is at the same level of devil dog, birth and tiptoe (tier 5). Only current tier 6 is aletta cadagan and gumball, both on financial.

ah ok, good to know.

 

does she also have a higher mission payout multiplier then?

[Samuwai 0]

As far as veteran players are concerned, Financial is a much more balanced map than Waterfront is.

 

Waterfront generally has a significant amount of bias mission points in the defender's favor, which is why a lot of folks don't care to play there if they don't have to.

Templeton and Devil Dog are Tier 5. Aletta is the Specialist. 

We have 2 contacts yet to be Introduced (The Redhead alongside Darryl Kent on the Tigers char selection screen and The Bodygaurd of Michael Simeone)
