APB-Reloaded: End of Week 2 Update : A New Category of Players - the Premium Ones - 0 views

  • instead of limiting what you can customize as a free player, you will be allowed to customize almost anything, but you will not be able to store (and share) complex customizations above a certain complexity level unless you are a Premium player AT THE TIME OF CUSTOMIZATION.
    • Saxtus .
       
      So that means that if you're creative enough to offer something complex, you will be penalized to do so by obtaining premium membership. Sweet... O.o

APB-Reloaded: End of Week 3 Update : Patch 143 (Closed Beta) Status In other ... - 0 views

  • Therefore we are very likely to launch a closed beta version WITHOUT the original character data, and then wipe the databases at the end of Closed Beta after we have been able to determine the impact of the various game changes, and then look to restore some of the original character data for the Open Beta start.
  • our presumption is actually that players will upgrade to Premium accounts, NOT primarily because of the customization expansions, but rather because of all the other goodies that Premium Account holders will get
  • we are now seriously considering setting up a permanent UK studio with full-time staff in 2011 to work with our teams in Southern California, Bangalore, Istanbul and Sao Paulo. We might still consider Hamburg for a European presence since that’s where a lot of our PR and marketing work is being done, but Scotland (or possibly some other UK locations) now certainly look like interesting alternatives for sure on the studio side.

Realtime Worlds To Bring Car Racing Mode To APB? | IncGamers - 0 views

  • APB is "one of the first online games that has cars with physics and collisions for 100 players."
  • Do you want just a district dedicated to racing, or would you rather have a district with 250 players but no vehicles?

APB Will Not Be Released In Australia | Kotaku Australia - 0 views

  • EA told Kotaku that they will not be releasing APB in Australia. The reason is local servers. Or rather, the lack of them.

APB-Reloaded: End of Week 4 Update : UK Studio Strategy and "Hackers and Cheaters" - 1 views

  • So what can we do about Cheaters in APB? Well there are a ton of "cheat-busting"solutions out there such as NProtect, HackShield, PunkBuster, XTrap etc.
  • none of them are perfect
  • easily circumvented
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • interfere with normal gameplay
  • Will you be instating in-game moderators?
  • before APB was shut down most aim-bots were actually actively being detected. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the data was not being acted on for various reasons
  • That's generally the type of protection we are now moving toward.
  • One big flaw of RTWs APB was that if you did come across someone cheating, you had to leave the game, write an email, hope they read the email, and then hope that they did something about it.

APB-Reloaded: End of Week 7 Update : Two key "to do" items; CB Client Build and Network... - 0 views

  • CB will likely start sometime in February
  • the Closed Beta client will be a LITTLE bit smaller than the original shipping client, it will have a basic "premium" system built in, various balance fixes, and we MIGHT be able to turn on the chaos rule-set (!)
  • Next week marks the beginning of the detailed game client discussions, so stay tuned!

APB-Reloaded: End of Week 10 Update : Busting some Punks? - 0 views

  • Johann, who originally had worked on the PB integration for the original release, and is now responsible for the overall anti-hack/anti-cheat detection for the game as a whole
  • while it may be virtually impossible to ever win the war against cheaters completely, we certainly intend to give it our best shot
  • We originally integrated PunkBuster into APB in January 2009. After this was completed, it was disabled and essentially left untested until near the end of Closed Beta (~ April 2010), since it was not deemed an essential feature to enable before launch.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • So in a nutshell,  it was quite a mess.
  • We were forced to disable PunkBuster again straight away until we could fix it, and ended up launching the game with it turned off.
  • We also plan to have anti-cheating enabled on all servers from the very start of Closed Beta, allowing us to get as much testing done as possible.
  • If a player is positively identified as running a known aimbot, he/she will be immediately kicked from the district and a notification message will be sent to all other players in that district. The cheater’s account and PC will be immediately banned for a period of time, during which the person will not be able to play using that account on any computer. If an aimbot is detected a second time, the account and computer will immediately be permanently banned, all monies paid will be forfeited and any upgrades or customizations will be revoked.
  • At some point we want to introduce bullet-proof vests, and for that to work, we clearly need headshots also be something you can actually achieve.

APB-Reloaded: 150,763 requests for Closed Beta applications - 0 views

  • So - as of last night at the cut-off time we had received 150,763 unique Closed Beta application emails. Clearly this puts us WELL ABOVE the 8,000-10,000 people we had estimated were a good initial closed beta group.
  • Thus, in the next few days (and it hasn't happened yet), we will send out part two of the application, and after logging in with your G1 account, and filling everything in along with your unique Beta Application Key (which will be mailed to you), we then presume some percentage of the above number will be activated in the actual live closed beta.
