appearance UI news

shared by Saxtus . on 15 Jul 10 - Cached
  • Make the chat box opaque
  • Stop solo players getting into the back seat of a car (and be smarter for grouped players)
  • Fix the big 4x4 cars to stop being easily pushed over by the small cars (esp. the Pioneer)
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Spawning. The spawn system seems adept at placing players in the line of fire of opponents quite frequently or miles away from where the action is.
  • Escape missions. The proverbial hot potato. Great when it works and sucks when it doesn''t.
  • Zoning into a district while at Notoriety 3/4 and immediately being dispatched against. If we end up removing bounty missions as part of the matchmaking revamp, this issue will go away. If not, we'll add a 'safety' timer to prevent players being bountied against straight away (unless they commit further crimes).
  • No missions should be ‘farmable’ due to limitless time (e.g. Breadcrumbs)
  • Better death camera

  • Vehicles are largely more stable now too, as well as more maneuverable. A few of the vehicles we've left a little more challenging (but rewarding) for players who like the current system and enjoy handbrake cornerning and powersliding, but there's now enough of a choice to hopefully let everyone find something that suits their style.  The weights of several vehicles have been increased to make them behave much more in line with how they look (most notably the Pioneer).

Matchmaking is broken - 0 views

teaming news

shared by Saxtus . on 14 Jul 10 - Cached
  • we're seeing a much higher decline rate for Dispatches and Calls for Backup than we expected
  • prevent players being added to matches in the final stage with only seconds to go (that's a change we intend to make anyway), since no-one wants to be forced to join a mission where they have no chance to influence the outcome
  • When players enter the district, they're 'Off Duty' or 'unavailable' or however you want to think about it.  Once they're done with checking mail or sorting their inventory, they hit a key and switch to 'On Duty'.  From that point on, they are at the beck and call of their Organisation, and the matchmaking system decides who goes where and does what.  Participation in individual missions is no longer a choice.  Your Organisation is sending you to do a job, so get with the programme.  After the mission, if you need to get more ammo or respawn your vehicle, just flip back to 'Off Duty' and nobody will bother you until you're ready to go again.

      This is a new client (and will be the post-retail one too). The old one(s) won't work but you can copy the "APBGame" folder from them in case you have them, to speed up things.

shared by Saxtus . on 08 Jun 10 - Cached
  • 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?
