Why your game sucks right now

[DouglasFalcon 125]

Hi all, I'll keep it short.

It's the matchmaking. Your absolutely terrible joke of a matchmaking, pathetic excuse of algorithm to generate """"fair"""" matches is the number one reason why this game is currently going to shit.

Not the cheaters. Not the NTEC and 44 meta running rampant without you ever addressing it. Not the lack of new content. Not the game being terribly punishing towards new players.

It's how it's literally impissoble, in the span of a normal 2 to 3 hours long session, to find a remotely balanced mission.

I will not play your game until I will see in one of the patches "new matchmaking system is in place".

 

Goodbye.

Yes.

But whether or not you keep playing, there's always gonna be ppl who will stay to suffer from this, this is just how APB mindset is, we have no other game which is exactly like this one, sadly (INzoi is forgotten by now and life-sim so nah lol, idk abt any others atp)

I'd also like to point the objective balancing, 60% of the time, attacking side is being put at losing position in advance, simply because obj is wide open or too op for defending side to camp on. Defending in random is much easier than attacking from what i've experienced, simply because random ppl can't team up properly in a lifespan of 5-7 minutes. And imagine the friend\comm group defending instead. Add the current state mm is in rn... well it's something that current world leaders should be punished with.

What kind of matchmaking do you expect with 300 players? Of course it's going to be bad!

Need more people but you can't grow and foster a playerbase  with the issues this game is plagued with, such as objective locations and spawns.

But instead of working on the above mentioned issues, they just add useless contacts, buff range weapons, add M9 pistol and make smg obsolete.

One of the devs is long-time APB player. Surely he didn't think this is a good idea?!

 

Last but not least - cheaters and toxicity. I don't expect anything from that inhouse anti-cheat "solution" they made but at least they can put effort to make people behave.

Half the time the matches are so imbalanced it isn't funny

I have seen so much it's hard to make a full list, but it includes

Matches that have player ranks and threat levels so far apart it isn't funny. i have and been against matches that will be along the lines of 2 bronzes less then rank 50 me at rank 200. vs 3 golds who are rank 290

Objectives blatantly favoring one side. This one is most noticeable in water front Several missions will have a team drop off. the enfos seem to always get a nice easy to defend spot thats tightly enclosed and impossible to pull the item out of, Vs crims who get an open field that they can not cover no matter how they try

People who refuse to esctale. People will refuse to call back up in an unfair match to ensure they will win. making the match fully one sided and not fun for anyone to play

I would say guns, but honestly? the gun balance in this game is so FUBARed it isn't funny. you got some guns that kill in 3 some that do it in 8 others you question why anyone would use them and some that are so broken everyone uses them.

To many tryhards. without threat based servers you end up running into so many try hards you can't ever have a fun match. someone is always cheating using BS like configs and reses and whatever else you can think of because they HAVE TO WIN. WE really need those servers back. i miss being able to just use stupid meme load outs vs other stupid meme load outs. like high mag HB 3 JG

Greifers too. Trying to play a mission always someone in a dump truck/vegas who needs to ram into you or push you into a wall, or there friends who your playing against and there doing it to make sure there buddy wins. they also do this so there friends will state where your at.

spawn points. People claim " i do not hack i just have X years here" a lot, but when you know my EXACT spawn point every single time and get killed the second i move it gets old. they need to be fixed, or your anti cheat does it's gotten very old and it also prevents people from even playing

Hit reg. I'm not sure what you did LO but it seems like every time i log in the hitreg has somehow someway gotten worse. i can have zero bloom fire at someone and miss, or go through them. infact i have had and seen several rockets just phase through people and cars like it's nothing. Other times you fire 60 rounds into a person knowing dam well you hit them 20 times. when you ask them? turns out you landed 2-3? if you lucky. i have before survived a point blank NFA due to this and it's annoying

 

What would be nice is if you take what someone has suggest. which is a K/D counter. if i kill X player 100 times and they kill me 1 time. we will not be match and vice versa. it would make balancing sense due to the fact no matter who you are they will always be someone you can not face and someone who can not face you, but most stay in even grounds. But what i bet you will do is have FE go down again then nerf a random gun again because you have no sense of how APB or FE runs

I fully agree with you. It's very stupid to spend money and time on a complete redesign of the machemaking, and then throw it into the game and just forget about it. Unfortunately, this is a common practice for these "developers". They "develop" something for a long time, add it to the game and forget about it. No further configuration or modification. The budget has been mastered, the report has been submitted. No development goals have been achieved. Players got unnecessary downloads and an annoying interface. 
There is no free pool of players in the game, not because there are 300 people online. It's just that you need to create a pool of players, but no one thought about it. All players get stuck in useless, boring, unbalanced matches. For this reason, the players receive almost unlimited tasks. For this reason, the call for help practically does not work. 
I've written many times about these problems and how to solve them on this godforsaken forum. It's useless. The "developers" are busy with some useless thing again. I mean escalation or streamer mode (potatoes). And let's not forget about some idiotic kiosks that the Arab sheikhs probably asked for. 
I think this game would be much more popular if the "developers" really wanted to improve the game. I see a lot of bugs that are very harmful to the game and do not require much effort to fix. But the "developers" prefer a different way - to redo everything. However, they overestimated their capabilities many times. Every time. This is usually how fools behave - they repeat the same mistake many times and do not draw conclusions.
