engine update is done, go look at 2023 roadmap. iirc they should be in progress of updating their backend to allow for their game to be hosted on Epic Games Store. And if not that then the first part of phasing

Phasing will ruin matchmaking. No one wants waiting times in a game that's basically team deathmatch.

It's just another platform for the game to be seen by player eyes, I don't imagine they think it's going to save the game. But if they probably will do a bunch of updating on the backend to allow for the game to be hosted on Epic as well as future updates to the netcode.

It's also delusional to think that the current matchmaking is amazing

The threat system as a whole is garbage. Phasing won't fix this. The lowest threat, green, is impossible to hold onto without intentionally dethreating. Your teammates completing objectives gives you enough score to reach bronze. Mid silver to low gold there's a small difference in skill. Mid gold to max is where you see the player skill drastically increase, and where you see distinct play styles.

 

I don't know how to fix it, I just know adding on loading times will not help keep the mission districts alive.

but we already have waiting times, what do you think the 20 minutes of unopposed missions before every match against silvers is?

idk where you are getting the loading times aspect, if anything phasing should reduce waiting times as matchmaking will be able to look at a LARGER pool of players to better MATCH THREAT levels. Threat isn't garbage. It's the lack of player base and the matchmaking is doing it's best with what it's able to see. It's not the matchmaking or threat's fault that you're a gold enforcer in a lobby against bronze and silver criminals. That's just who's on right now, But when phasing is a thing it can look at players across districts to better match players according to their current skill level aka their threat.

funny because apb likes to kick people out when joining a district, add that with the HUD bug whenever you get logged out and you have a disaster. stupid system

I never had that issue

I've gotten that bug before where the HUD elements disappear but i'm not convinced it's an easily replicated issue.

Alright give everybody a better idea. Because adding more players to a district is a bad idea as well. Otherwise if you don't have any constructive criticism why even bother typing anything at all?

a better idea would be to keep the current system, because phasing is so bad its literally worse than what we have now, and if you can't understand my points are valid critiscm, why even bother replying?

I didn't say I didn't understand your criticism; I said it wasn't constructive. I could have just replied to what you said with "stupid post" . But alas, that's not constructive.

A: Why are you logging out so much?
B: Phasing shouldn't log you out of your account, unless you mean it happens when you disconnect from a district too many times. I'm sure phasing will change how that works under the hood anyway. If they are properly testing, it should become clear that the disappearing HUD elements bug will need to be fixed.

 

 

To be clear, your whole argument is right. not (to me) is that you want the game to be stuck in the past and that the game shouldn't receive fundamental fixes.

So far, since you have not actually given any constructive criticism, I feel you should re-read what the end goal of phasing is. As it will be a multi-step process until it is fully realized (that is, if they succeed with it)

dont get me wrong i want apb to suceed, very much so. but with LO having stupid ideas like phasing, and them taking 5 years just to do 64 bit, i really dont have much faith in them
