APB - All Points Bulletin v3 - You killed me you hacker!!! - Games

[QUOTE=Taggart;29906441]was it APB retail or just APB Beta[/QUOTE] Beta. When I think about it, they most likely removed Beta characters when they went retail, that's why there are no characters on my old account. I've read somewhere that you can log in into new Beta with your old Beta account but I've got no luck with that.

Hmm, just got the first disconnect ever, hopefully that means they're starting OB [editline]18th May 2011[/editline] Nope, shit just got fucked up

Any ideas as to when OB starts?

[QUOTE=HappyCompy;29908056]Any ideas as to when OB starts?[/QUOTE] Tomorrow, after the maintenance they'll have today.

Damn, I was so pumped to play today too :(

I can't wait to play APB again. I wanna see if it's still buggy and laggy as fuck.

Bugs and lag aren't nearly as annoying as, well, everything else.

matchmaking is so fucking horrible now 5 Bronze Level 1s (me included because it won't raise my fucking level when I DO win) against 7, 2 Bronze Levels 1s, one Silver 1, and the rest Silver 4-8

Seeing how a lot of people here come from those creepy countires most idiots in this game come from I get scared. Taggart, hold me.

Well apparently it's a bug, I've been in a match with 6 bronze 1s against 4 bronze 1s, the six could call for backup. :wtc:

Thats no bug, it's balancing for the poor crims!

I was in a match yesterday. 2 v 9. It was actually pretty close but they won.

This game f2p yet?

Its been f2p lololol. Its not Open Beta if thats what you're asking.

Great, they put OB on hold until they've fixed the disconnect issue. They couldn't have told us earlier than OB release date. Been sitting and waiting for them to give access to everyone, checked updates, news and forums every hour or so. Ah gawd.

This game manages to get me pissed off every time I actually play in the action districts. This is why 90% of my game time is spent in Social, mainly in the music editor, and is why I still suck terribly at this game (or, at least I think I do, but I can't really tell, since I never get a fair match). I just joined a group that was all under rank 50, all 1 or 2 bronze bullet threat or whatever. We get matched against a team that is all rank 140 or higher. There is one opponent in particular that never misses, seems to always know where we are, and is able to take out three of us coming from all different directions in a split second. I'm not saying he's hacking, but if he isn't, he's seriously good. I'm fine with this... its just a mismatch, whatever. They destroy us, and I'm happy to move on. But then we get matched against this same team THREE MORE TIMES, and somehow the player that is either extremely good or is hacking, and is a really high rank, stays at the LOWEST threat level. How is that possible? Him, and his teammates, are still threat 1 after beating us 3 times in a row, yet they are all rank 140+, have all character and weapon mods, and are destroying us over and over. I do not understand this new ranking system and this new matchmaking system. I know its been said over and over already. But man, no game has ever succeeded in repeatedly getting me as pissed off as this one. I honestly wonder if the matchmaking is purposely messed up to a certain extent in order to make you want to purchase better weapons.

how come people complain about crims being too hard to play, i'm an enforcer and i'm losing practically every single one of my matches because i'm being teamed up with people my level against people that are like 5 levels ahead of us with weapon mods and 1 shot snipers.

Crims are seriously Easy Mode. Enforcers have to WORK for all their shit, Crims can level up and make money by driving vans into storefronts all day.

Should have played Crim back in RTW APB, which got rid of the witness system 2 weeks in because of whining. I was making 30k per hour easy and transfering the money to my enforcer. Part of the reason inflation was so bad.

Not only is it intensely obvious, but the developers said it themselves, multiple times.

I want the open beta so bad.

Having more money doesn't do a thing for you in actual PvP. Cool you have more money you can buy a car. Oh gawd OP to da max?! everyone can afford the guns which are what needed.

sigh, is there aNYONE on joker that is decent and will play as a team and use voip/mumble/whatever, im tired of all these silent, bad faggots as teammates

And the servers just disconnected [U][b]everyone[/b][/U].

Great, another 3 days of waiting unless someone immediately finds the problem.

I wanna play now.

So when is the free version coming out again?

It IS free.

TBA. Probably soon though.
