Defibrillator 132 Posted July 25, 2018 I thank Puck ( the customer support) guy for his steadfast dedication in replying tickets. He replies tickets swiftly, professionally and at unbelievable speeds. Despite of G1 running at a bad state and players werent happy with game owners, he did his work at the best way he could as a customer support guy. Even many say that he was more like a bot and get mad at him for not being helpful. I never had such a time. My memorable incidents with puck. - I got scammed twice in my acct. - A frnd of mine sent me a bishada on my enf character thru ingame mail by mistake. i mailed cs regarding this and he sent me a kisakki kit, stating that he couldnt help with retrieval but i could use this instead. - I got a couple days premium cuz i couldnt spend money on g1c. (Couldnt afford with my currency) cuz my frnd made this tattoo from prison break. - A couple of joker boxes. If he could be such a sportive person during a crisis, i think he shd be provided with an employment under the new management. If u're reading this, thanks for what you did. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was only a matter of time before someone came along and took the reigns. G1 was the guy that applied the CPR only for the chance that they would get a reward after the revival.. I hope the reward was slight. LO IS our new overlords and I am going to pile money (infact ive already started, new guns baby! perm across my account!) APB FTW. The servers are running very well, I dont see hackers, the Hack Sites are even saying they are not selling hacks now. This never happened when G1 was on the go. EVER. LO FTW.

mpuone 4 Posted July 25, 2018 G1 made the game Free to Play... -they added new vehicles and vehicle variants, plus adjusted vehicle behavior -Added gun drop off range, among other balance changes -They tried to balance the maps by limiting roof access and adding openings (mostly in Waterfront) -Added end game contacts. -Added Fight Club mode, with Beacon, Asylum and Baylan maps. ...I'm probably missing a few things. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PitterPatter 139 Posted July 25, 2018 When you're tired as fuck and read this as "what would you give g1 credit for" as what do you want to see in armas that you would pay for with G1C then have no idea what the fuck people are talking about in the thread... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stateofthegame 23 Posted July 25, 2018 I commend them for their constant stream of events themed around the different ways they could sell JMBs. Real dedication to the cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nite 261 Posted July 25, 2018 One thing the old G1 team added that was an unquestionable improvement:WEAPON SKINS. With a game so focused on visual customization, more aspects of it can never be a bad thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V2050 31 Posted July 25, 2018 Not nuking the game, I guess. It's not easy to answer the question: all the promises they left unattended make it really difficult to see the bright side of that. But yeah, I'd say not nuking the game after all this time. I would have missed completely disregarding my safety during missions so that the enemy can get a lot of kills and still lose.

Fortune Runner 796 Posted July 25, 2018 Keeping the game on life support or we wouldn't be here shooting at each other today Easter event and mugging for eggs event Halloween pumpkin events The new cars clothing guns etc they added which made things much more lively Various fight club as people already mentioned That insane physics when they tried fixing it which makes my 4x4 even more fun to make airborne rofl I'm sure there's other stuff 40 minutes ago, AsgerLund said: Tiggs is/was hot.

NotZombieBiscuit 3145 Posted July 26, 2018 I've been waiting for a thread like this for a while. Note I am not a fan of how G1 handled the game they at least did quite a bit more than people give them credit for. Buying the game and keeping it alive. Revamping the game away from that terrible RTW payment model. Changing the TTK for the better (though this is a little subjective) Revamping some vehicles for the better. Adjusting player movement and jump speeds for the better. Adjusting the player and vehicle cameras for the better. Revamping mods for the better. Changes to witnessing and ram raid mechanics. Reworking the game progression. Bringing back Asylum and continuing work on it (even if still unfinished). Reworking missions. Reworking the spawn system. Adding score system and reworking threat calculations. Glicko system. A huge number of fixes over the life span of the game. Adding 'bounce physics' to deter griefing. Added meshes/props/district adjustements. Uniform interacts, such as vehicle spawners. Added further lore and story elements. Reduced speed on vehicles for items and vip. A large number of new weapons, clothing, vehicles, etc. Threat level overhaul. Threat 'bell curve' revisions. Added new contacts. New mods. Weapon skins. Fight club. Joker tickets, challeneges and other mechanics surrounding them, and the Joker store. Numerous seasonal events. Numerous daily events. Reworking/overhauling/adding numerous areas in districts. Retail Box. Further store content. Marketing and that 'lovely' live action trailer. Chaos District. Anarchy District. Open Conflict District. Shader/graphical rework. Effective range rework. Hitbox adjustments. Optimization (though this come with some graphical downsides). Titles. Open test world. SPCM. SPCT. Reopening of the artist programme. Overhaul of the spawn system. HUD/UI/Menu Adjustments. Scaleform implementation (though this may have been worse in some areas). Daily activites. Steam release. The APB Vendetta meme. Implementation of a new Tutorial. Implementation Fairfight. Shotgun spread rework. A number of weapon reworks. Team leadership requesting. Team kick based on demerits. Fixing and adding Achievements. Fixing and adding Merits. Console Launch. Loyalty Rewards. I am sure I have missed a ton and can already think of more. Not to mention the numerous changes behind the scenes that we would not know about. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Changes to witnessing and ram raid mechanics. i feel like the witness/ramraid changes were intended more to stop than to fix Reworking the game progression. Bringing back Asylum and continuing work on it (even if still unfinished). Reworking missions. pretty sure they just deleted "bad" missions instead of balancing them Reworking the spawn system. Adding score system and reworking threat calculations. score is awarded too liberally and threat was dumbed down far too much Glicko system. A huge number of fixes over the life span of the game. a large number of bug fixes and a large number of bug creations Adding 'bounce physics' to deter griefing. Added meshes/props/district adjustements. too much deleting rather than balancing Uniform interacts, such as vehicle spawners. probably a minority, but i liked faction locked spawners/ammo machines Added further lore and story elements. Reduced speed on vehicles for items and vip. A large number of new weapons, clothing, vehicles, etc. Threat level overhaul. threat was dumbed down too much Threat 'bell curve' revisions. these were only done twice iirc, and were largely useless since threat is not dynamic Added new contacts.

Scaleform implementation (though this may have been worse in some areas). never finished Daily activites. Steam release. The APB Vendetta meme. nah Implementation of a new Tutorial. the tutorial is more comprehensive but less practical and is missing info on some important gameplay systems Implementation Fairfight. Shotgun spread rework. A number of weapon reworks. Team leadership requesting. Team kick based on demerits. should have been a vote kick Fixing and adding Achievements. Fixing and adding Merits. Console Launch. the fact that we had a console launch is good but the actual game, not so much Loyalty Rewards. I am sure I have missed a ton and can already think of more.

BrandonBranderson 670 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Despite all the truly awful shit they've done to this game, they have also made a whole lot of improvements. Weapon skins, Asylum (even though it's still not finished), Tiptoe Birth Gumball and Lynette though they existed since RTW, just weren't in the actual game, increased jump height to what it is now, added a sweet Halloween event, etc. A lot of cool things happened while Mok was the creative director actually. He'd be the reason we got that Halloween event and the Growl. Hell in 2011 they even made the game look prettier than it already was before they swiftly destroyed it in 2013 and made it look worse than it did in 2010. And lastly, they kept the game running this long. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't be able to play APB anymore. I strongly disagree with a LOT of their choices, but they did a lot of good things for the game. I still feel like the amount of bad things that happened outweighed the good though.
