Networking Update
Late October was a rough month for APB: Reloaded in terms of Networking, so starting November we’ve made the rough decision to swap providers (again) in an effort to stabilize the game so all of you could play without being affected by massive attacks on the old provider’s network unrelated to APB.
For the most part, the initial migration process went smoothly and didn’t come with all too many hiccups. But since November, we have had intermittent issues. As of mid December, we have resolved most of the issues. At this point, we are now just waiting for the last pieces to fall to optimize and improve the overall player experience. We are upgrading routing in some regions which should help with Players having packetloss, and we are bringing the NA East region back online.
In his last AMA, Matt promised to compensate players for all the downtime. We have been waiting for everything to stabilize enough to run a “Compensation Event”.
We’re finally there, and we’re going big. No messing around with Joker Tickets. Just straight extra G1C for you guys.
Running from the 18th of December until the 7th of January players can play up to 100 Missions or Minigames to rack up an extra 1500G1C which will be awarded in the weeks after the Event has ended. To help with tracking this we have added the “Mega Christmas” player role which tracks how many Missions or Minigames you have played during the period - For Maximum rewards players will need to max out this role on one of their characters!
Additionally, all accounts that have logged in during the period in which we were experiencing Networking issues will be awarded 500G1C shortly after the Event starts.
Christmas Mega Event
Christmas is just around the corner and we’ve been working hard on delivering this years Christmas Update for you all.
Similar to last year we’re going to be running Beacon Minigames - Play enough Minigames to max out the new “Eggnogging On Your Door” role which awards Six new Titles, 2400 Joker Tickets and at the highest level the unlock for a two open-slot COBR-A “Venom” allowing players to purchase it from contacts even after the Christmas Event ended.
But that’s not all!
This year will mark the grand return of the “Elf Inflicted Wounds” event - Featuring some of our staff as beefed up Elves that are going to be incredibly hard to kill but it’ll be worth it as players who kill one of the Elves will get to work with our Designer to create **a unique Title of their choosing** that will only be available to them across their account. So keep an eye out for announcements in our Discord, the Forums as well as in-game Broadcasts on when and where you may encounter one of those elusive Elves.
New Streamer Mode Features!
In addition to new Christmas changes, network upgrades, and Legends - we’ve been working on adding an official “Streamer” mode!
This is something we have wanted to add for a long time, and it needed to be complete prior to the release the Legends Patch. We’re going to release it with the Christmas Event, so we have time to get your feedback and make more tweaks.
These options will be available to all players via the regular Options menu and should provide them
