Speaking of K:DRs not winning missions, what's more fun than going up against 3 blatant cheaters and winning? Having one of them kicked during the mission, of course.

They remembered they have a blog.

APB Blog posted:

UPDATE 1.18.0
Hi Gang,

I’m Ricardo Viana the Lead Designer on APB:Reloaded. This is the first of many updates I will be providing to you, so let me quickly tell you what has occurred since our last update.

Before I start, I wish to thank our players and volunteers for their commitment in providing regular feedback.

We will be releasing the 1.18.0 update that involves changes and improvements to our mechanics systems that are all under the hood, so to speak. The three key areas of focus for this update were missions, dynamic events and visual effects that will definitely be felt during gameplay.

1.18.0 Also includes changes to our TEAM LEADER system:

TEAM LEADERSHIP CHANGES & ADDITIONS

We now offer the players the opportunity to request leadership, for the team.
Added new messaging for when voting begins, when Leadership selection is successful or unsuccessful.
The TEAM LEADER can now only kick other players who have earned a demerit.
Included AFK to the present demerit system.

The team and I are striving to strengthen our core game mechanics on a daily basis. Our end goal is to provide to you the player, a more entertaining mission experience, streamlined matchmaking process, challenges for experienced players and a rewarding entry system for new. I do not wish to give away too much on what is in store for you, but as Lead I am excited and looking forward to the future direction of APB:Reloaded.

Stay tuned for more guys and gals.

Ricardo “MoK” Viana

The updates to team leadership sounds fantastic until you realise that the people who are tryhard enough to kick backup until they get a Gold 255 on their team are the same kind of people who would run in front of their teammates cars in order to give the person a teamkill demerit so they can kick them :v:

Yeah there's really only so much you can do to help a community like the APB one, to be honest. You can design the game around them and all but eventually you just have to accept that some people will always find a way to be a shitheel.

I've been playing around with this again and I seem to remember that there used to be a way to disable the melody that plays when someone kills you, can't find it though. Is that just not a thing anymore or am I bad at searching?

I believe it involved deleting all the sound files that custom themes use. I'm not sure if it still works.

I'm sure the new team feels the same way but it's good to see someone who was involved in the game acknowledging the MENSA meeting that is the APB community.

If I was a developer/publisher I'd lose so many customers for just finally breaking down and saying "You are all idiots, the forums are now closed, forever."

I had a collection of emails and posts in a folder called 'DO NOT POST.' They helped me keep sane. Only one of them slipped through the cracks.

The big patch tommorow brings the game to 1.18 and establishes some of the new coding framework that'll enable further work and actual tangible improvements on the game down the line. Exciting, eh?

Not if you're on the APB forums. If it's not a new contact and a bunch of stuff to pile on top of the poor, straining engine, then it's clearly not worth a drat and heralds the end days. Even though it's part of what you've been asking for, right there in front of you.


Jotun I'm sorry you've had to deal with this and I hope you didn't have to drink too much to cope :smith:

If you haven't run into that problem enough times to have at least one go-to name, then figure one out. Talk about a weight lifted off your shoulders! Also, a go-to look helps. My dudes tend to look like Seifer from FF8 or as much like Solid Snake as I possibly can.

I create a fleshed out backstory that follows the lore and commission an art piece from my ideas to help define the style.

Can confirm. I was asked to make sure it was lore appropriate on at least 2 separate occasions.

Eventually I just started reusing old D&D names or using a generator to get more when I'm making lots of characters in the same game. For some reason Drow names are never taken go figure.

HAHAHA!

Been playing a few other games using Nvidia Surround, so I've been leaving it on when I hop in APB. Sadly it disables shadowplay. I just wish games had a way to not distort the side screens and stretch everything so weirdly. There are no UI elements on the side screens and a few other UI glitches. Kind of fun, though, until my fps randomly tanks for reasons only APB knows.

I'm looking for a game to arse around in for a couple of hours every now and again with my housemates. Would a group of 3-4 casual players be able to have fun in this game (is the early game player population high enough?) or will we constantly be bowled over by hordes of experienced players with diamond plated sniper rifles?

Just don't take it seriously, do draw a bunch of dicks on your outfit and you'll be alright. If poo poo gets too real, everyone can just get in cars and grief the poo poo out of players who are actively on a mission :v:
