neume , more or less it was the response time. I can get used to handling changes but it seemed when i'd turn right it would delay quite a bit before i turned right and left etc.
My only other real question. When we played before , after maxing contacts, and then roaming around raising hell as criminals we found ourselves out of stuff to do. Stealing cars wasnt to much fun. I havent kept up with updates the past month but our biggest problem was that our clan was all at max threat or close to it and we found the game lonely after maxing contacts.
what kind of changes are proposed?
edit: i mean i was proud of my high threat, i loved going against other high threat players. I hated purposefully losing games so that i could get to play against people which is what happened.
As someone who plays the game mainly for the LTL (actually acting like a cop), I'm fairly disappointed and a bit concerned that the developers are considering LTL a subject that they just refuse to talk about, despite it being INCREDIBLY obvious that it's so underpowered it isn't viable by any means.
So my question is this: Are you guys seriously going to release open beta (what's essentially commercial release for F2P games) while leaving LTL in a broken state?
And a second question: Do you think that LTL weapons should be worse at their own job (stunning) than lethal is at killing?
They DID fix the glitch spots, bad missions, and matchmaking.
And why do you think criminals need a method to arrest police? Be an enforcer if you want to arrest people, be a criminal if you want to just kill people. You have a choice.
Personaly I play pure criminal and I would love a stun especialy for 1v1s purely to stun and then grenade them. I suck at geting kills with nades id love an easy mode way to open conc gerandes liek cops who stun me have done I am jealous of this trick but honestly not a big deal if crims never get non lethal just neat

It is very difficult to make this happen. We want to do something like this, but there are a lot of hurdles we have to figure out before it can be done. I don't think this will be feasible in the short term (the next year or so). We'll see though.
Is that because you don't have enough resources to do the modeling and scripting for it? what if I can get someone to do the model of a motorcycle for ya? lol It is not an art issue at all, it is more of a back-end server issue. The game doesn't work in a way that would allow for motorcycles right now.
Originally posted by the420kid Neume patch 1.5 sounds really interesting cant wait to see how it goes, my question is. Will you still need to pledge to the same contacts in order to form a group with people when patch comes out for OB? I heard you guys plan to change this but is this with the matchmaking changes you plan to release later in OB or is this apart of the 1.5 build you guys are working on? I love big games as do most people who play Id love to see this change added to make getting groups easy.
We've made a few changes to pledging and mission standing to make getting groups easier. These will be announced shortly and are already in the OBT 1.5.0 build.

One of the changes we are working on right now is a skill rating system. One reason why so often you get put into situations where you are not getting missions or are put into a mission with uneven sides is because of threat issues. The skill rating system will allow you to play in a district where everyone is of similar skill and therefore more action will occur.
Also we're releasing Witnessing with this update which is a lot of fun and we're working on adding more things like that to the game (such as street racing and more).
Hey ide like to start by thanking you for your time to right all these replys ill be quick and simple, Ive never played this game before been longing to play for a good while now since its first release but couldnt due to deployment reasons i have the game fully installed but no key as of yet i was wondering.
.how long till i can start casualy playing ill pay a monthly fee if needs be will open beta give me that chance?
Not sure if this was asked before: at some point before the release of the defunct APB, devs mentioned the implementing of chaos servers ( I think they were called that ), meaning cops and robbers could kill each other on the spot. However, they canceled it, which was rather disappointing for me, was really looking forward to that.

Any support going for that idea ?
We've taken the "Chaos" ruleset idea and mixed it with Turf Wars. We are hoping to get that in-game by the time we go to commercial launch.

Too often players assume that if it is not in X, Y or Z patch it will never get dealt with. Right now we are focused on very specific things. LTL will have its day in the sun, though right now there are bigger fish to fry (matchmaking and missions for example). So we will definitely do an LTL pass again before we go into commercial release.
allrite mate thanks for the info look forward to playing, the character creation is what lured me in to be hounest hope to see you on the streets some time soon .. bless!
Alright... last question. Some F2P cash shop games tend to go into open beta and then open the cash shop, then just stay in open beta forever, is APB going to separate open beta and release, or is open beta going to be considered commercial release?
I'd like to ask a question. This thread is huge so forgive me if it's already been answered. Just give me a quote of the answer.
Motorcycles... Are they being considered at all? I know we probably won't see them for a long time. But are there any plans to implement them into the game in the future?
District Skill Segmentation: you need to make non-segmented districts to make up for offpeak times were segmented districted have to low pop to be playable
Modifiers: why are you guys so set on making it so people who like to play the most end up slower or with worse stats than people who just started the game? no way you can balance the lack of running speed (specially in this game) vs being able to take damage.. also if the players tought the old system (which was less complex) was broken, this is probally not gonna end well for the avarage player
oh one last thing i signed up to the news letter on http://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/ a while back but does that mean ill get an invite once it goes open beta? any response would be apprechiated
I have a good question. When will you guys offer an alternative download that doesn't require me to 1.) Download GamersFirst software and 2.) Pando Media Booster?
Pando Media Booster is notoriously sneaky software that uses a users bandwith even when the user isn't actively downloading anything. It also starts up with the computer (Having to be configured NOT to), isn't uninstalled with APB if you decide to remove APB, and doesn't provide any faster download speeds than a direct download.
GamersFirst Game manager is probably the most useless software ever, since it requires external programs just to download your software, making it pointless. Either have GamersFirst download the software WITHOUT PMB or have PMB do it without GamersFirst. *not both*
Can you PLEASE provide a torrent release or mirror to the full game? This PMB is really bad and I hate having unecessary software on my machine just to beta test something.
Also, uninstalling APB DOES NOT remove itself from the registry. In fact, it just deletes the folder and nothing else. I confirmed this by reinstalling APB later before I formatted and the only choices I had were to "repair" the game, even though the game was supposed to be long gone. Can we get a proper uninstaller that removes registry entries?
Thanks~

I like to think of open beta as the live test run. There will be a cash shop and it is not likley we'll wipe after open beta.

It has been but I'll answer it again.
Not likely, there are a lot of technical issues with making that happen.

i think the question he meant to ask is that, what are the plans for ltl? will criminals get their equivalent first?
my main question, is ltl more important that fixing glitch spots, bad missions and matchmaking?
They DID fix the glitch spots, bad missions, and matchmaking.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
We do have plans for SWAT gear for Enforcers (and potentially criminals). That will probably see a release sometime this fall.
