Damn this is the funniest thing i've read for a while, bravo!

You guys shoukld come join in for a few events. Or even make your own. There's so much that can be done using APB as a playground rather than doing missions.

Most of the people I play APB with don't do missions at all we just do Car Club on Wednesday nights and Pay2Grief on Friday nights with a few other events here and there. They really are good fun and keep us in touch with the game whilst we wait for updates.

I keep hearing about this "Pay2Grief" thing. What exactly is it?

I kind of feel like not being able to pay your employees without burning through whatever runway you have left is kind of important to talk about. But thats just me.
 

? is this some assumption or are there any facts that back that up? LO LLC had 5m annual sales prior to acquiring apb.
i kinda doubt they will have to rely on not paying their staff in near future and of course they might still be using budgets.
do you think they just acquired this game without any prior thought? they knew what they were in for, they most likely have seen the stats before too.
there has been no real campaigns to bring players in/back so far.

if it was looking supee dire, you'd see signs. there haven't sales every few weeks, there haven't been ads for other games etc and other things unlike from g1 yet.

they are working on it, as you can see.

it was abt the g1 launcher, not the apb launcher. Edited October 8, 2018 by neophobia

i know at least 10 ppl that arent even bothering to play apb on jericho because u cant rank up due to low pop, and im sure theres more being effected the same way.

other than that, people had way too high expectations. upon announcement of the engine upgrade I kept reading people hoping that the game would be upgraded to UE4 by the end of the year... lol

i dont even think a AAA development team could manage to get a game like apb upgraded to UE4 in a few months..

Told you nerds for months already. APB is a 9 year old game where even a miracle cannot save it. Its time has gone and past, LO was just a delay on the inevitable. 

Though as I have always said. It is quite impressive that APB has managed to hold a decent ratio of players for this long compared to how it started. Especially considering APB was never that big to begin with.

Sad truth

LO did like 4.5 mil in business annually yes. To put that into context, G1 did 2.7mil. And of course these numbers have nothing to do with profit.
My only point is LO's investment is likely not turning a profit at the moment. G1 hadn't turned a profit in over two years and had more players, while LO has more than twice the staff as G1 and less players.

And again, this concerns me. Im not gloating, Im not complaining... Im worried.

Well LO didn't do much for this game up to now so if the game doesn't drastically change this unfortunately is the trend.

Im sorry my guy, I just cant understand what you are trying to say.
Maybe try google translate?

Doesn't help that since the last update I've not been able to log in because  trying to launch APB now crashes my computer. Thinking of giving it up as a bad job.

Are you using Steam, because if you do that shouldn't be a problem to reinstal or verify integrity files.

LOL My computer struggles to run APB let alone steam at the same time. I am guessing that Little Orbit give as much of a flying fuck as G1 did about anyone still running 2010 hardware to play a 2010 game. Edited October 8, 2018 by Rogana

[Similarities 226]

Here's the real, hard truth.

The game being 9 years old means nothing, look at FFXI, WoW, and FFXIV, subscription model games which have improved and taken different forms with the releases of expansions over and over, is it the same core game? Yes, definitely. FFXIV 4.x still runs on FFXIV 1.x's broken codebase, but they can still produce content and change how the game functions on a fundamental level in 2 years, something APB hasn't had in the past 8 years. 

Until we get devs that don't break things every update and think they can use RPCs for everything, regardless of if it's something client/server exclusive or important data (e.g. FF & BE), this game won't get better. Figure out how RPCs work, figure out server and client replicated fields, put the devs through a UE game development course if you need to, this isn't rocket science. Is the codebase bad? Yes, that's a fair excuse, but I wouldn't say your code is any better, ex-Reloaded.

I guess you are typical of the people in game who tried to tell me that having a 32 bit system made no difference to APB's performance. They didn't have a clue that you needed to jury rig the computer to use more than 2GB of ram in order to avoid constant out of memory crashes with APB. I tried running APB through steam without success because prior to making the system changes to allow the computer to dedicate 3Gb of RAM to APB it made the memory crashes happen far quicker. So with all due respect, the empirical evidence is that your statement is absolute bollocks.

NO it's not. Its riddicious that people ask Developers of games that they should lower graphic or whatever so the people could play with shitty pc's
Why? why should i enjoy downgrading so peasants could play it 30fps in they're crapconsoles.

Look at how they ruined Warthunder with Old pc setings what didnt render gras tress ETC and people used this to theyre advantages!

It's still incredible that APB lives for almost 10 years now considering it only received updates for like one or two years.

Just shows how much potential the game has, yet none of the three developers were using it.
