This is all too apparent to anyone with basic observational skills who looks at the areas around objectives. The overwhelmingly vast majority of locations are setup in such a way that a group of four players would be perfectly suited to effectively defend it, without overpowering it. Yeah, playing in small groups is painfully obvious of this as you frantically rush between all the entrances.
Voerman Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 2v2 VIP/VIP in general was a major contributor to me refusing to play mission district with anything less than a 3-man group.
Mitne Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Oh boy. 2v2 VIPs - you can always expect for VIP running away.
Lord Cashpoint Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) VIP could be improved a great deal if the VIP marker (along with other similar markers) wasn't real time and always updating. Wouldn't feel like such a target as VIP if the marker only showed your location every 3 seconds or so. Edited July 6, 2018 by Lord Cashpoint 1

slot Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 just make it 1 VIP per team so there are 2 VIPs in total. problem solved 1 1

Ever. The 2015 installment was better than Payback, and that's saying something. if any of you wanna 1v1 race me I got that PS4. Otherwise, just really APB. Alright lets do.... *reads PS4* ... #feelsbadman

Majority of missions is unfun with just 1 mate. I always pray when I play with only one friend to get some more meat in the squad.

Sadly, it'll likely never actually happen. But, just in case it can... @Majiik
The Regulator Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 constant 2v2 vip is the only reason i hate playing apb with my wife.

Even 2v2 is borderline pointless in most circumstances/missions, where any advantage quickly unbalances the match, especially in VIP. They technically -are- disabled. They only occur now when there is an unopposed mission with 2 people in it and one leaves and the remaining person gets opposition afterwards. 1
Chinook Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) 2 random ideas I came up with 10 minutes of using tired brain: Whenever team size drops to one, the game could automatically send you backup. As with vip missions - you are a vip for crying out loud - your faction could dispatch some of it's members for your rescue. Whenever threat and matchmaking as result will be looked, there should be some thought given to yet untried solutions to inbalanced team sizes on missions that require more players by design. Also not forgetting the fact that we could have the districts split between "casual and competitive" instead of "OC and missions" and have the type of ruleset affect not only the matchmaking when mission launches, but also on rules for calling backup at some situations you can't currently call any.

Giving the other team free wallhack is dumb team death match falls under that as well the only things left then would be capture points and capturing the item possession as well as capturing the armored van we would all get bored extremely fast with a lot less content its a bad idea so no I disagree with removing them over a free " wall hack "

An easier fix might be this: If a player is the only person in the mission and that mission ends in VIP, end the mission before opposition occurs. (Basically if their teamate(s) leave before opposition, the mission ends immediately).
