Same here. I think you need to really love PvP just for PvP's sake to like APB. Otherwise, it just seems to take repetitive to a whole new level in the world of MMOs. I don't know how anyone could stand to play it for 250 hours, nevermind only then complain that it gets boring.
Agree completely. Was wishing it would be something more, but... Still as another poster commented I likewise hope it does well as this "genre" is in desperate need of something different to stir things up! I really think anything truly new is going to have to come from indie developers.
you need to really love PvP just for PvP's sake to like APB
Whole Hearted agreement here mate.
This is team based PvP only game , so you need to like PvP team based games to like it.....
To further enlight ppl here this is computer game so you need love computer games to like it (for computer games sake).And you need internet connection
So ye if play PvP games becouse you enjoy them not becouse some secret agenda like global domination or fighting poverty you will enjoy APB
to take repetitive to a whole new level in the world of MMOs
and now this....In standard MMORPG you do fedex quests or hunt for X stupid predictable rats/ NPC (you know whole agro system). In APB you hunt real players with real players .Humans=unpredictable. I though that fun from MMO rpg comes with playing with others. If not ,there is no MMOrpg that compares to kotor ,dragon age, or FF on any level

Problem is, i can have the same experience about pvp team base on games that i buy and become free right after like battlefield. I dont need APB if i have battlefield and GTA4. Yes, i do play GTA 4 online on free roam and its great. You have full freedom unlike APB and it is less repetitive since its a sandbox where you can use your imagination to do more stuff.
You are suppose to pay monthly for APB. So they better come out with something more then what we saw in other team base fps games.
We say APB is repetitive because we dont have the freedom to use our imagination to make it seem less repetitive. We have to do repetitive missions after repetitive missions. If i decline a mission, there is no one to kill or nothing to do at all. This is not what mmo stand for. If In GTA, all we could do is missions and not being able to kill innocent when we are not in a mission, GTA would had never be that popular.
2.BBC2 great game as well but right now its f2p with shop, Mw will go p2p
3.There is nothing that could stop you from using your imagination
4.In beta if you dont want to do mission you can - as criminal mug ppl for cash and glory , kill them for notoriety, steal cars , free rom, race friends ,graffiti and more.
5.I also wonder why ppl pay for wow and gta is free
They though about microtransaction and definitly for me and APB pay for game time model is better
I get that for someone playing hard core team based shooters ,and expecting apb to be shooter thinks its shallow.But team based games on that level are hard work and you need lots of pratice and cordination to have fun. APB offers far more casual exp.
I don get that MMORPG fan can say that its Boring Repetive and not Massive compared to others MMORPG.Especialy if that person declares Grid HAte
You see more shooter fans more shooters content More Rpg fans more rpg content..At least devs hear us (zombie mod) thats why iam disc this game here.
But in response to OP, yes this game is sorta repetative and also suck to play alone/groupless
note: oh and btw if your FF (furious fighters) then you gotta have played the game to trash since I havent even had half of that play time, I think Im around 40-50h(3 different chars) and yes Ive been playing since I got the key..
It took me 3 hours to come to the same conclusion, OP. I figured the game would open up...but it really doesn't. It is amazingly repetitive.

I totally agree, I'm just glad I love PvP for PvP's sake.
I'm sorry you guys didn't have fun playing APB. Unfortunately, APB requires you to have friends to play and have fun with it. Myself along with my 3 friends had a BLAST for over 30hrs of play in a 3day span, and that had the mediocrity of continuously remaking new toons (annoying not to save your progress, stupid 5hr demo).
Game was the funnest we've played in awhile (granted the MMO market is shite right now, so that's like saying the last bomb that hit my house was the weakest of all the other BOMBS that hit my house this year).
The Theory of Conservative Conservation of Ignorant Stupidity: Having a different opinion must mean you're a troll.
Beta for me was playing casually against bunny hopping, 3 slotted shotgun spamming jerkoffs with ADD who were 3 times my level. There wasn't much to do besides that. Smashing the same 5-6 store front windows and looting the same 10 items gets old after a while. Mugging citizens is a total bore after a dozen or so times.
Not only is progression limited to simply unlocking new weapons/cars/ other assorted eye candy, but skill is hardly a factor that comes into play. A few lucky shotty or taser shots and it's all over.
If you like the curomization feature, give it a shot. You'll be spending most of your time in Social, believe me. Chaos districts are the only thing that could possibly save this grindfest.

.... ? The part in white... please explain? I found APB to be the exact opposite of a grind fest. You long in and play rather than grinding towards some goal.

How is APB a grindfest to you? Honestly asking.
Maybe its simply because I wasn't at all captivated by their reward system, or any sense of accomplishment this game had to offer. Playing with my avatar's appearance did not provide me any entertainment value at all. Tweaking my car was somewhat fun, but it didn't warrant all the frustrations of a very limited action district.
For what this gaenm is the game can last alot longer if they used the original business model from Guild Wars, buy the box and thats it because I don't see many payiing a monthly fee or even pay for for time even being successful here.
Saying that, because i spend 250 hours in-game i have no right to complain about it being boring, is ignorant.
I was beta testing the game mostly, in very short windows of time.
When They finally opened up the servers full time for Closed Beta testers, I played the hell out of it, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that theres nothing to do in the game.
Putting your fingers in your ears, and closing your eyes, does not change this.
I wish all the best for APB, and I do hope it get's more depth to it later on.. Might even consider to buy the game if it does, no way im going to pay for what it is now though, reminds me of Global Agenda, another game who demands money for a game with no content, and no freedom.
I see some ppl argueing about this as if the OP did something wrong, which is a useless thing to do. It doesnt matter what you will say, it wont make this game less boring for the OP. Thats why its a personal opinion
He also gives a clear reason for his boredom. Lack of features resulting into repetitive gameplay. Not all players are affected by that. There are probably players out there who would enjoy a game with even less features. Each to their own.

Hey he started with "APB is boring". I understand that some one have diffrent taste then me , Most ppl have, iam sad and lonly Doom Metal fan in country ruled by James Blunt wannabe
but from OP post -Boring = Lack of content -and according to his "What is the content in APB." there is more or at least as much as in any MMO on a market today ... so i wonder if He maybe does not Like MMo and find them boring or he has some other agenda.
btw
Exploiters and auto aim bots in BETA? mate,its a Strange World we live in
seems to be that apb is the same like global agenda but with factions and quests ?
no its not, you have open world districts (like instances) where you play.You can join mission (you dont need to go to npc for reword couse they have mobile phones) or do somthing else
As far as i know Global Agenda is "Lets give them Reason to play ,10-vs.-10 PvP Shooter "
I do wonder if APB will get boring, its not happened to me yet and I've spent a similar amount of time in beta and PTW.
My real trouble is that its made all my other beloved MMO's seem boring, the only other mmo i get such a rush of adrenaline on is Eve, and even then the rush only occurs in epic pvp battles that dont happen all that often. It happens every 5 minutes in APB.
There is one thing I'd like to point out though, at the moment i've been playing with 2/3 other friends.. which has both its advantages and disadvantages so I forced myself to mix it up between them and other players.
Now, when it goes live I have about 10 friends who will be playing... so its going to get pretty crazy, esp considering we're british and love to drink lots of beer and talk about shit, its going to get pretty insane and cant see myself getting bored for a long while. The game itself, yea, might get boring when it does thats when we start trying to do mad stuff. ie; player generated content.
i respect and understand anyone who gets bored of APB, especially if they dont have a large friend base.
Yep this game is just really very boring, kill people or be killed, that is it really.
Yea, its the same principle as Doom, Quake, Counter strike, Team fortress... all those kinda games which over the history of gaming have been extremly unpopular that noone ever plays.

Your sarcasm fails, since all the games you just mentioned have no subscription.

Please to look up server rential fees, then find one that hosts 100 players + All the streamed customization, progression, music and runns over 3000 NPC's and sports maps with 40 city blocks.
Thoes titles do have fees, you just are not the one paying them.
Thanks.
