Project "Low on demand, High on donate" videos

[Goldexen 28]

Hello everyone
I know that forum is dead by now, but still i wanna post some videos about my project and how things are going
Here's the video with explanation what i wanna do: YT Video
And here's the spreadsheet with statistics, for example: KDA ratio, Winrate, earned money, etc. :Google Spreadsheet
This project is interesting for me, but also can be used in some way for new players that can theoritically start play 

Of course i don't need anything from LO, this is my own project that will be sponsored by my time and my money

And here's the first video of F2P way!
APB: Reloaded - F2P way - p.1.2: first games and facing the golds 2025 03 19 22 58

 

First of all: i was surprised by whooping 55.56% of winrate, which is insane for new player
The second thing: i don't know if role with just playing missions for JT will be left in the game, but right now it's one of the best way to boost new players' start, for example, you can buy some stuff for 2k JTs early in the game and that's cool

I wonder, if someday LO will merge G1C with JTs because right now, this system with IGC, donate and half-donate-half-IGC currencies is crap and creates a lot of confusion

INB4: yep, playing without mods or perks is pretty hard, especially after long break

Second video:

APB: Reloaded - F2P way - p.2: crap points - this is our everything 2025 03 20 22 40

Another bad thing with APB's balance is points system, map-design isn't passed the test of time and that's pretty terrible, how some points are just inacceble if you aren't fast enough to complete them(and that's the case with new character, because you can't finish targets fast, because you don't have any equipment)

Heh. I've been doing the same thing with my streams

Going F2P only is a great way to emphasise and show on how battles can most definitely be won with just the right strategy.

But on the other side, it also showcases its flaws a lot.

3rd video:

APB: Reloaded - F2P way - p.3: 11.11% winrate is 2025 03 21 22 21

Fun video, of course the situation isn't that bad, i just had a lot of missions that i had backuped right at the final minute and of course it's instalose, - that's another thing with APB, that's very bad: you can wait a good 3 minutes for mission, while guys in their mission can't receive any backup

I also got tilted in this video, but pulled my self together and last mission was fine

Good job!
I thought that somebody already done this, so that's why i wanted to make this with statistics, which will be very useful for players

Love it!

Another idea of mine was to review weaponry. I've got most weapons now but I need a video editor xD

Maybe a fun project for the future, eh? ^.^

Fourth video:

APB: Reloaded - F2P way - p.4: first time in waterfront! 2025 03 22 23 43

First time in the Waterfront, i didn't wanted to go there, because i hate this district's level design even more than anything in this game
Surprisingly, LO did a great job with some attempt to rebalance some points of the map by adding objects in which you can hide yourself

This district is still crap, but at least it's not that bad as it was in G1's primetime, still, there are a lot of work for this one, and if deleting and replacing it with new district isn't a thing, i'd deleted this Marina ship at the north of the map and also closed a lot of roofs, which are still the main pain of this map

As for the today's missions, well, it's not that bad, as in 11% winrate video

Good luck with that!
I also had mine about vehicles, sadly, it was not worth attention of people(no one cares about cars, but at least something changed with population of cars and we see a lot of compacts and other non-ordinary choices)

Day five:
 

APB: Reloaded - F2P way - p.5: Testing "Moving district" feature (it's shit) 2025 03 23 18 31

 

APB: Reloaded - F2P way - p.5.2: Obir & PMG surpemacy & half of the F2P way 2025 03 23 21 36

Today we have two things:
1)Testing mission migration thing
2)Testing OBIR and PMG

First one: Migration system - it's actually good thing, but i've noticed many problems:
a)once you entered this state, you can't leave, so you'll have to start a mission, even if you don't wanna migrate;

b)waiting time increased on a big amount, so you can wait for 5 minutes and receive 0 missions; 

c)once you entered other copy - you can't choose Contact, i even had one mission where i played "just cause", because game thought that it will be great to not choose any contact at all;

d)seems like this system prioritize other copies' players, so it's not a rare situation when you can wait for a whole mission with full 40/40 population and receive back up at the last minute before the end of mission;

e)guys with HDDs - there's your tombstone, this game even on NVME loads to other copy around 1 minute to whole 2 minutes, imagine your face when on HDD this time can be increased by x1.5

 

So, this system needs to be adjusted, because it's good, but has a lot of flaws

Second: OBIR & PMG:
Well, i tested them against their competitors - Obeya and OCA and came to conclussion that they're sucks, Obeya isn't that bad, but without mods it's one of the worst guns you can pick
While OCA overall feels really weak: you have to shoot more, than PMG and with it's ROF you can miss a lot of shots, while PMG has some time for maneuver

So i don't recommend OCA and Obeya if you don't have mods for them, you'll just waste your money on them

Part 6:

 

APB: Reloaded - F2P way - p.6: Rage cheaters 2025 03 24 20 50

Played like shit today XD

Still, there are a lot of cheaters, but at least my team could kill some of them
