When you lose a couple of hours due to some discrepancies you start to throw up tantrums? Will u ask for pause in premium during the downtime for a new patch/maintenance?

Cr0 328 Posted January 7, 2019 What I find "interesting" is that no matter how much the playerbase has decreased over the years, the DDoSing hasn't exactly gone hand in hand with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. It's fascinating really. One day historians will puzzle over the mystery that is the DDoSing NEETs of APB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I highly doubt it's NEETs DDOSing APB with how long most APB DDOS attacks are. I.E. DDOSing a server nearly constantly for days, weeks, or months is far from free.

Hard to play the game when rubber-banding is so bad you transcend reality and shift through multiple universes. I've seen roughly 14,000,605 futures, and only one in which Matt Scott saves APB.
