This kind of shit usually starts with small oh its ok its only a small ad dont worry. Dont be fooled its a test point and APB is an ideal game to start throwing up stupid billboards all over the place.

You can pay to disable them. So if you used to paying 15 dollars a month It be no problem for you.

What wrong with billboards? If they make enough profit from them = more content to keep the game going.

WTF..? You pay subscription to a game to hear ads? This is insane. Looks like P2P game models are getting polluted by external sources of income for the publisher more and more >:(

 

One thing is certain, I won't play ABP now for sure. I wouldn't since it's not my kind of game to start with, but with this new voice ads info...

It's F2P with P2P action district or you can use RTW for the action district gain from other players in the market.

I'll take ads over 25 dollar mounts in stores.

No

Will 2 factions work...

 

Yes

Will it be as fun as three factions?

No

If you can learn how to properly play the game in less then a month, then it wont be a problem for you. Eve isent wow where you can play it after five minuets. It takes time, both player and in game skills to win at Pvp. Rushing into it though, is 100% posible after a day of playing. But only if you know what your doing. There are plenty of Videos to prove this.

Lawl, maybe for  some ships it take skill but 90% of the pvp i encounter was just ganking. We were talking about the faction warfare not null sec or pirating.

We see a lot of MMORPG's out there that follow the linear formula aka lvl 1-100 and few talents or attributes you just put (dex/str). I personally love MMORPG that make you discover the "OP" way either through experience or in a way unlocking it through the game. How many MMORPG's we got with such system atm. I am honest at least and every vet knows that there is no such thing as "balance" in a multi class system. The balance though is more in "how far" you can go and do with one character against "others".

I know EVE has complex ship/chr development, any others MMORPG's out there where you can take at least 3 decently gear/skilled players by yourself with ease atm? I like to go far in a MMORPG and shape others gameplay experience in it.

When you consider EVE a complex character development confuses me. You train linear in a one way progress from the time waiting and you can train everything. This makes it the most simple character devolpment out there.

Anyway, DDO has complex character devolpment.

There really no newer mmos that allow such versity in character devolpment. If WOW didn't drop the titan level in it next expansion it would be on the top.

I guess I could rank DAoC up there but it so old everyone knows all the op stuff.

I'm also wondering this same thing as I've found somewhere to get a key for a reasonable price. Is the early access/preorder bonuses tied via a seperate key?

 

As it stands as of now, G2Play does not offer exclusive ingame items nor early access.

 

I sent them a mail asking for an order cancel/refund.

 

The only places I know of as of yet, which provide those services, are EA Store, Steam and D2D.

 

Unfortunately, I couldn't buy the game from any of those.

Why that? Did you try to go through paypal?

EVE has factional warfare, with more than 3 factions, and is a good game.

Problem solved.

If I remember right you need 5million sp. What like a 3month of waiting and yes it'll be waiting to join that war.

Not seeing anything like that requirement on the EVE website, I could be wrong though.  Or you could be.

I do know that the special edition box comes with a standings boost that allows a new character to instantly join a militia and do factional warfare.

So I think there are no large 3 month requirements like you speak of.

I'm sure there a requirment because I wanted to join one but ended up pirating and getting -5+ standing or somehting. This was like a year or more ago though.

Maybe the standings the requirment what still might be a month or more to get.

If you are willing to spend 30 doillars a month for a bot It still decent. but you might be spoiled by WoW or other newer mmos the feel of DAoC's engine/combat is old and clunky.

Aika is already out and alot of us left b/c they ban ip outside US

 Tera mmo coming out soon is FFA.

Why would you leave when they ban ip outside of US? Isnt that a good thing! There be less gold farmers and botters from asia.

Are there any 3 or more faction mmorpg browser or 2d games with pvp that we are overlooking?

Everyone mentions coming soon games. =(

Aika is a crappy f2p with 5 factions I believe.

Reqnum an old game is getting a grphic update this year.

Uh that all i know sadly.

Guild wars is the only one.

EVE you can start off doing some support(disabling, tackling, and maybe healing) roles in pvp. It mostly base on how many people you have vs them. Most guilds wont invite  you till you buy the game though.

Oh, the new game APB coming out next week. You start at a disadvantage but when fighting higher level players you get more members on your side. It an FPS with most of its content on the social side for now.

APB your best choice for PvP if you like FPS with very fast intro to PVP. If not try out EVE for more relax and uh lol.  I'm just reminded on how much camping or running about I did just to find a fight in EVE.

Also WARhammer has a unlimited 10 trial with instanced arena style BGS.

The game plays ok.. But paying $10 a month, I am not so sure about.  Not enough content.  You run, you shoot, you drive and you get some new weapons.

 

Beyond that, it is no different than Bad Company 2.

when did  bad company get character customization, car customization, theme or music making, graffite, clothing custimization with your own symbols. I found they have some unique character and car equipment with upgrades when you level up.

 it funny how there so many threads about it. Itsnt it the same in all mmos? every quest is go kill x or grab x. All classes cookie cutter dps/tank/healer

Most FPS are not as dynamic as APB with all its custimization.

You're paying 10bucks a month or less for CSR, servers, and continue development. This means there always more to be added.

Also, when you preorder you got 60hours of action distract gameplay, that 4x more the time it took me to beat mass effect 2 on hard.

I'm not regretting the short time I played.   All ready removed it from my HD in fact.   If any game should be free to play - this is one of them.  It is not worth a subscription.   Mount and Blade Warband has more replayability in multiplayer than this game does - it's more fun and the online game play is totally free!

It only $10 a month  what pays for server cost and csr.  I can't beelive people expect so much content done on launch expecially for AA mmo. Also you payed 30bucks for that multiplayer online in mount and blade. 3 month worth of apb action district.

 It shouldnt take longer then 4min(your first load might be longer). You got to remember you're loading a hole map on cache and memory.  Atleast it wasnt as bad as witcher for me.  There was a load every time you enter a house.

What kind of hard drive do you have? defragment would help with loading aswell.

To be able to actually play the game u need at least 3-4gb ram, and at least 512 Ram on Video Card.

wrong, I have win 7 and 2gb of ram(667hz i believe ddr2). It runs relativly smoothly.

I hope you're video card has atleast 512 of ram. Most have 1gb-2gb now adays.(I have 512mb)

I wouldn't worry about the whole PunkBuster thing. If APB ends up being a huge Triple-A Hit, then they'll likely make their own like Warden. If it ends up being a flop. Well, at least you can say you've used PunkBuster! Because that'll probably be the best it gets...

 

~Miles "Tails" Prower out! Catch me if you can!

I hope it does. It would make all newer mmos focus more on customization. It all APB has going for it. For an AA mmo It awesom. 

I've got my eyes on APB. I'm hoping it ends up being a success. The MMORPG market is a little dry right now while everyone sits around waiting for expansions. That's the best time to strike with something original.

 

~Miles "Tails" Prower out! Catch me if you can!

 

The model they setup up for it seems they can get tons of success out of a huge casual market. I'm hoping for more then this though. I'm hoping it hits in houndreds of millions. GTA Is one top 10 selling games. I aint dreaming to big now right?

err GTA now number 11. The darn wii toys knock it down.(wii play and wii fit)

Yes I am aware that most MMO games on the market use programs like.

GameGuard.

Punk Buster

VAC

Xtrap

And or other security.

 

However Most MMO games have an agreement that you have to accept, APB did not, that is what I am saying. Steam has an agreement which I had to accept to install Steam, Which gave them consent to run VAC on their games. APB Did not have a 3rd party agreement to do such on their installer, or anything after I downloaded and accepted the basic agreement with Steam.

 

Apb also did not give any other boxes other than the message on their client updater that said Installing APB, and I was actually allowed to Launch their game, without accepting any agreement, Therefore I could Pirate their game to anyone I please, and not get into trouble, Not saying that would do any good because it requires a key, but my point being, I accepted no agreement, Until I clicked Create New account where I was required to do such, Therefore anything before that point on was illegal for them to do, and could result in problems for them later if they don’t fix it, that is my whole point.

Most offline games have this aggrement because you have a choice to play single player. This is why you are confused/

As desp posted it was in the eula/tos.

Reno, I got bad news for you. Almost all triple A mmos have something like Punkbuster running in the background. Also all FPS that uses steam uses punk buster.
