The issue I see with this, and perhaps the only major issue, is that there does not seem to be any PvE. No INstanced PvE, or open world PvE.

So take the average gamer that likes to Solo online (Apparently there are a lot of people that play this way, see WoW for more info ;-) ). The suggestion is that as a High Level solo player, the game can match you with 4 low level players.

Now what happens with MMORPGs is that at some point they become top heavy, there's a lot of high level players but no so much low level players.

What happens to the player match making then?

And then what about Server populations? Your gameplay experience will be directly tied to the number of people and the overall level range on your server, since apparently PvP isn't really an option for advancement, its the primary focus for advancement.

It's like hunting for a Counter Strike game, or going through a Halo matchmaking engine to find a game. Works fine when there are several people at your skill level online, but when there aren't it sucks.

And for an MMORPG, persistent world type game, the player should be challenged and be able to find a suitable game always (especially for a monthly fee).

Is this potential issue addressed anywhere?

sounds like a good game on paper. must of missed where they mentioned not having a standard leveling system, but that sounds good too. im a little concerned about the balance between cops and robbers but im sure there are numerous things to be done about it. what kind of an endgame will this thing have? do you have to form a crime syndicate and be hunted by the fbi or something?

i think this game could appeal to the casual gamer. log on for a quick smash and grab kill some cops and then log out. and then you can appeal to the hardcore gamer by having a system set up to create a drug deal like in that new jack city movie. lol they could be like battlekeeps in AOC.

 


They said that there would be no leveling system, but you could see a character's progress in their appearance and weapons.  For example, we saw some "newbies" in blue jeans and white t-shirts, then a much more "gangsta" looking character who had been playing a long time.  David also mentioned that the newbies only had pistol, while the veteran had a variety of weapons.

I agree that APB sounds too good to be true. However, if everything the developer says comes to fruition, this game will revolutionize the genre. I think this game will be a hit if it includes everything the developer spoke about.


knowing this developer (webzen), the game might be as good as they say, they'll just never release it in America. They've been promising SUN and Wiki for years now. SUN has been out in Korea since 05, and was supposed to come out here in 06. Now, i'm not sure if I even want to play it anymore. Webzen is undoubtedly one of my least favorite companies.

 

When did developer webzen take over real time worlds developers?   Its real time worlds who is the developers of the game webzen is just going publish it.

I've been following APB since it was being thought up hearing rumors several years ago about dave wanting to make a gta like mmo. However after reading and listening to the movies I'm frustrated because it would appear the game isn't going to be much of an mmo but rather more of a hellgate london as far as MASSIVE goes. I will surely play apb but it pisses me off when amazing games like this shoot for instance based worlds and encounters rather than making one massive world.   My opinion is all speculation of course seeing as I have not played the game. But just take hellgate for instance how awesome would it be if it were just one big ass world instead of the piece of crap it turned out to be... I have followed apb longer than hellgate and I think APB is going to hold the same disappointment for me as hellgate did. I will however be spending 5 hrs making my character before this disappointment sets in :O

 

If any of you writers or people who work for mmorpg to get interviews are reading this and you ever interview the devs about APB talk to them and really get into whether or not it is a persistent world or 90% instanced.... with those graphics it is easy to assume the devs are going for instanced.. I r sad

Haven't heard heard of the game before. Seems to have much potential. Will keep my eyes peeled.

"Servers will hold 100 players maximum and are considered "districts" of the city. Half can be cops, half can be robbers, or depending on skill level, higher ranked players can fight in smaller numbers against greater hordes of opposition. Players can also design their own graffiti to put up around the district. Also, they will be able to trade custom designs with others." - Source


"While groups can hold up to 40 members, PvP action only allows for 8 of those members to take on 8 opposing players." - Source


FPS servers house 10x more players yet they consider this game to be a MMOG (Massive Multiplayer Online Game)? Not so much imo... Not to mention we will have to pay monthly for this? The game is pretty but this pisses me off.

APB needs to raise the bar... 25 to life Hosts 16 players are they a MMOG? they host double APB's numbers... When are game development companies going to learn genres? APB is hardly massive it is however a MOG (Multiplayer Online Game), yet it is being advertised as an MMOG and is perceived as an MMORPG... I guess it's all marketing schemes to attract more players but I see hellgate london fail written all over APB big disappointment for me as I expected more out of this game.

I should just get into game design but then again I don't think I would be able to work for some of the big named noobs behind all the current mmo's in development and already released. I could never stomach working for someone who had an idea for a mmo that I would never play. Also why is mmorpg.com starting to advertise games that aren't mmo's? I hate seeing hellgate on here...

This game is looking good.  It clearly has plenty of development time ahead.  No need to read into what little information is currently available.
