Hello Zanvan,

Welcome aboard. It's good to have another sociable and intelligent voice in the forums. I'd almost caution against displaying your game names here, but then very few people actually come here.

Thank you for your generous offer. I will have to look you up sometime provided my tolerance for the game lasts. Or maybe start a new account like you did--that's a good idea.

I hate to say it but I logged into APB Reloaded recently and I have to say this game is done for at least on my server it is quite empty compared to when ABR Reloaded first launched, and when RTW released the game.

APB Reloaded has so many hackers it isn't funny and that right there drives me away, but what is even worse is G1 customer service, and their management of both APB Reloaded, and Fallen Earth it is very bad.

** APB Reloaded could have been so much more, the only reason I like the game really is freedom to customize characters, but better missions, and Real Story would be great. I would love to see a company who could actually turn APB into something like Saints ROW.**

For example APB Reloaded feels Pay 2 Win, they removed the old way that RTW had people selling things for RTW points which was a mistake, restricted perm guns for everyone and seriously the game is dead now.

Fallen Earth pretty much the same thing Single Player or PVE it is okay, but once you get PVP people are Aimbotting, Exile Gamers the clan are harassing peeople, and pretty much it is two or three factions with the strongest clan dictators telling people how to play their game. G1 does nothing about any of it because they as a clan have al of members when these type of dictator clans their leaders should be suspended/punished for their clan constantly harassing people which is what goes on and btw the leader of Exile is one of the ones who did harassing, along with their officer they should be gone from the FE community because what they do political was not wanted.

I spent a total of over $200 in Fallen Earth, even still have a subscription which will expire in 2 months, but in its current state with the clan harassment, and politics which G1 will not remove friendly fire because these Troll clans want to be able to have dictatorship similar to Face OF Mankind, I will say it was a wasted subscription, and currently I have no plans of returning to APB, or Fallen Earth for that matter.

G1 seriously needs new management for both these games, not only because of the stalking issue, but because their recent patch with Fallen Earth nerfs F2P members so bad that a lot of people don't like the changes but did they revert or change it back yet, the answer is no.

G1 is just a very bad company whoever is in management of these games/services needs to be FIRED, or quit their JOB and give someone who knows how to actually run a company that responsibility, and that is really what I have to say because both these games are totally dead now in my eyes.

G1 just might go bankrupt or be forced to close down some of their games/services soon if people stop paying, or in the most stop development on a lot of their games aka they need to make profit, but are going all about it wrong and have probabily ruined themselves as a company...

Anyone have a report on how much income G1 has made this year compared to the other years?

i havent touched APB in a month or 2 i dont mind hackers or campers as i have enough skill to notice when they are cheating and how to deal with them (if im able to) but the game just makes me rage.. 1 hit kill rockets to the head or ones that miss completely and hit the wall on the other side of the street killing you. people 1 hitting you with a pistol or a stun gun from more then 20 feet away.. game has/had promise but frankly the blatant abuse ingame makes the enjoyment very low. while its fun to drive around blaring music and smashing junk.. actual battling is more of a miss and miss, while you can compete against anyone with anygun. people who RMT for bonuses will always pwn you

i thought of going back and playing it again.. but frankly id rather play war inc on steam which sucks more then apb at this point, until i know for a fact i wont run in to unwinnable matches or people blatantly cheating

first this dude says he have enough skill to deal with hackers and on same breath is raging about hacks. jesus.

i popped here to see if there would be a decent conversation going in about the state of game since im about to give it a go again but seems like its more of a same state where it was when i left last time.

conclusion until punkbuster is changed to something that actually works this game is unplayable, so i wish that server files would be released so one could run this whole game and play with non cheating friends only against computer police or criminals. 

cheers

I honestly seem to manage, I don't see your complaints really. G1 is banning often now.

APB is a great game. I have about 400 hours logged on my Enforcer. I'm a member of WASP inc. I'll tell you right now that guns you buy with real money are never better then guns you earn. Its about time VS money. Which one do you have more of? For instance, i bought a car and got a joker box with it that contained a 3 day whisper. I suck with the whisper, i couldnt hit anything. Normally i run around with an Obeya, Joker, JG1140 or a oca. The only gun i use with mods is the JG. The others are stock. I can say that i barely ever lose. Let me tell you why.... TEAM MEMBERS! Being in WASP inc. I have many possible team mates i can play with at any time. I know how they play, i know what they are going to do and we COMMUNICATE (TS3). The key to this game is to find your niche. CQB? Sniper? Figure out your role and master it! You really need to group with people you play well with too. I almost always lose if i group via the LFG function. When i play with clan mates, I win. This game is a lot of fun. yeah, there will always be players that are better then you. If you play the game long enough though, you might get just as good as them. Now, there are hackers. I see them every day. But you CAN beat them. They arent immortal in ANY WAY. And by the way, there are no headshots in this game. I feel as though APB is a really good game. It is fair aswell. You cant assume you're going up against a random selection of players. There are A LOT of clans in this game that are tight, play well, and communicate. Find a clan to play with, communicate, cordinate and DOMINATE!

Seriously, a GREAT game!

Just wanted to add my personal thoughts about the matchmaking system...

Even since RTW days it has always been a flawed system, its not that it doesnt work or that the numbers are wrong, the entire problem is that it is a system designed to work with a pool of many more players than it ever gets.

If you take 90 players (a full zone), chances are 20% will be 'non ready' or not participating in the system, another 50% will already be matched and thus not in the system so you end up with around 10-20 players who are looking for a match. Now take into consideration that many of these players are already grouped and the system suddenly has a tiny pool of players to match thus the only possible outcome is that your bronze/silver guys will be matched to a gold.

There have been alot of suggestions about how to fix this problem but considering the best G1 could do was add a overall threat rating to each district and add reward penalties on these, its unlikely the system will ever be fixed.

In addition the system does not take into account your 'Rating' (note not threat rating but overall time played rating.) This results in players who have been playing the game for months being pitched against players who have been playing a day, its brutal but when you take into account the already tiny pool of players above, it would only make the problem worse.

There are of course those special moments when your pitched against equal opponents, and have a mission that could go either way, but if you find yourself in a loop of facing the same 'insert obsessed clan' gold god players, your best bet is to either take a 5 min break (to allow that pool of players to move into the already matched) or swap districts so that your pool of potential matches is swapped entirely.

the most crippling for this game are the bad parts of its playerbase

hackers and griefers on every single map, who wants to pay for a game like that?

it seems, that they are taking steps in the right direction, though

lets see , if they keep it going
