Hello everyone,

 

as we're nearing the 8 Hour mark of the maintenance we have decided to extend the maintenance to give our Team more time to finish their remaining tasks. 

 

Thank you for your patience and keep an eye our for more news as we get closer to unlocking the servers.

Thanks for the update Magelo.

 The Jackals will be mad, they have paid for tools of evil, yet the person who they paid ddos them, 

in the name of revenge against LO. In effect Frauding his own fraudsters. 

Only a handful of legits are collateral damage as he attacks his own customers. 

I also think LO should shut down the forum for a couple weeks, halting the trolls from 

spewing their hate. Gee What'll they do for self satisfaction of spewing salt upon the few. 

Mack Smiles.

@MageLO if there is anything most annoying its the silence. 
I can accept event and patch being announced and then postponed... thats perfectly okay.

But what is not okay is that you dont say a deadline.
In every normal civilized grown up company in 2025 and last 20 years of management and marketing and administration of every serious company works with deadlines. 
We dont need from you to say event and patch were postponed for 15th of july and then nothing... we dont need from you to say event and patch have been postponed until 1st of august...and then we will wait to that day just to hear it has been postponed again. 
We understand everything lasts on one two persons in your company and its physically demanding and very hard to do anything. But it is what it is. 
What we dont understand is that you guys cant give us at least an aproximate date of everything. 
 

Its insane that we all have to pretend Matt hype us all for event/patch and then out of one single "it has been postponed" ...we got nothing again next entire month.
Now its already 24rd...meaning 1 month has passed in complete silence.

I remind you guys that not all members of this community can be on discord or want to be on discord and camp there 24/7 like some nolifers can.
This is official forum of APB...meaning forum should be first source of information!

Is it so hard to write or say that patch /event have been postponed until xmas event? Just tell us. So we dont wait like donkeys every single week and have to ask every Wednesday maintenance day...is this the day of event or patch!! 

Just speak to us! Say it! Patch and event wont happen before september...give us at least correct month! 

Because this waiting and silence is torture and its not fair for us dedicated veterans and rest of community who is left in this game. Thanks in advance.

Funny part is, he is supposed to be the Community Manager... Even GamersFirst were more communicative than this

Rockstar have same habit tho, however most of the time its done to increase the hype... As an Online player however, it annoys very much.

Don't Shoot The Messenger'

The reason the GM hasn't given an update on when the update is coming, is because the GM has not been directed to do so,

or provided with the Official Date to release to us.

 Really The Question should be Directed at Matt Scott.

Definitely not shooting the messenger, but it is good to remind that staff is not gm. 
Since each time i seen MageLO inside apb he did not have <GM> in front of his name he had <STAFF> title in front of his name and staff members are only ones with actual powers of banning on sight and having actual powers whatsoever to do anything. Something what Tiggs used to be. That level. 
You won't ask Frosi who is GM..or other GM's. 
GM's are merely players, who got only mute option and teleport option and thats about it....they got one command more than useless SPCT's who have absolutely no powers inside the game nor pretty much anywhere else. It is known. 
So basically only one who can know anything about update/event status is MageLO and he is only connection with actual knowledge and power between us and Matt who obviously wont ever chat with us at forums...he does one two AMA's per year and thats it. And its okay in some sense since Matt is owner so you dont talk with everybody if you are boss. Thats why you got staff you pay, to do it for you.
Hence why expect every info from only MageLO and i am 100% sure he is the only one who can give such info and should 've already given that info. 

I repeat we dont need date and milisecond...we merely want to know is that gonna be in august or should we simply shut down apb and come back 1st of november for halloween event because this silence and constant weekly check-ups are pretty stressful. If population drops more than it already is, soon you will have literally 2 people left standing in social and staring at each other and then you might just make it official already and declare bankruptcy and shut this whole thing up, because what is too much is too much. 

I can handle failed promises, i can handle entire lack of anti-cheat (not because i support or like cheaters but because at this moment of game decay i really couldn't care less anymore), i can handle everything... but i can't handle nor i can comprehend that after all this years of this community and this company...that we still didn't surpass basics of human civilized communication...such as goddamn news and updates regarding big deals such as new ac and new content but instead we get....silence.

You just cant announce something that would bring up liveness to APB such as new content and deeefinitely finally an anti cheat, then you postpone it next friday and not saying to which date you are postponing it to, then go entirely deaf and blind next 30 days of entire month and pretend we are all just mummies and that we have to ask every damn week maintenance "is this patch day?..is this event day at least?...is this is this?" and so every week.
Just say a bloody date mate or say we wont do it this year...but say it!! Is that so much to ask for?!?
There i dont know how "gentler" i could express my frustration and i am sure rest of us 7-9 people who i see on this forums caring for this game share same frustration.

I have to agree that Matt shouldn't have given or released a date before testing and or what ever has set them back. 

Regardless of Magelo's rank or position, it still falls within a chain of command. Anything released to us must be approved 

by Matt. It would look really bad if they released a second date and failed again. 

 Believe it or not, it is not the AC that I am interested in, it is the content. 

This whole thing has bungled my routine and interest in the game itself. 

I like to do side jobs for joker tickets, my current goal is a mini nade launcher for my main cop.

Which those launchers are not really game changers, but in a niche can be useful, I have mini launchers 

on all my other max ranks. Crim's can rent the big opg and afford it. Now my cop is not completely broke, 

but under 1 million game cash is broke to me. You need a padding, and for me it is 1 mil. 

Then news of the update comes and possibly an armas version of the big opgl (rumored).

But what other content will be maybe added to the joker store or armas, makes me put my rent to own 

plans on hold, because now i want to save up JT's not knowing what they will have when we get the update. 

 Then at the back of my mind I'm thinking I may not be around to use that million dollars or need it, and might 

as well rent the big opgl off the contact. Which is not a game changer either for me but I want it in my locker for 

when missiles which i have are not the best tool for the mission. That said, the MM is not nice to Mack.

And even with an opgl I'll lose anyway to stacked golds, which means a dethreat if I dont rq, if I rq I don't get paid. 

As a cop I have keep an LtL of some sort ready in my locker, in the case my team or mate is playing for arrests. 

So keeping my game cash moving up is an issue. In the end it means less interest in joker jobs and total time in game. 

 I don't know what is in store, and at times I simply don't care anymore. I know a new weapon won't change the tide, and 

I have very little faith in any anticheat, and don't see things changing.
