GamersFirst has announced that the delayed open beta for APB-Reloaded is scheduled to begin at 6:00 a.m. PST today, Monday, May 23rd. The open beta was delayed for about a week due to disconnect issues encountered early last week. In a separate blog, devs also revealed that visual adjustment to threat levels is also slated to arrive today.
It's important to know that a player's REAL skill rating are going to be unaffected by this upcoming change, and this just alters the translation from the real system wide skill rating to the Threat Level display since the current translation skews too low to be practical (in other words, right now there is a VAST difference between people at the very start of TL-1/Bronze-1 and at the very end of TL-1/Bronze-1. In fact the difference between start of TL-1 and end of TL-1 is greater than the distance between TL-3 and TL-11, which clearly is not an appropriate alignment to communicate how "dangerous" or "skilled" a particular player is).
