Who's going to play?
And under what faction?
We should get some Dojo peoples together and take San Paro by storm. XD

[Tashigi]

If only we knew what you're talking about? lol

[Lawlcano]

Everyone knows All Points Bulletin, those that don't know it, don't count. ;P

C'mon man, how could you not know about this game??

[Tashigi]

Nope, didn't. But looks interesting. Will check it out when I get home.

[Zyrusticae]

Some very nice stuff in the pipe.

I'll be playing my old character, Muale. Criminally insane. Fun times.

The fastest game to run itself to the ground in gaming history! lol.

[Nene]

I heard a lot of bad stuff from APB.

From it being literally broken to no end; to the game itself not really being a FPS and just some cracked out version of GTA.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Decorating my Post and stuff ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


No I won't be playing it. Doesn't seem my style in all honesty.

Well, out of all MMO-styled games this was the game that worked itself to the ground the fastest ^___^
(either that, or 'Tabula rasa' =___=; )

But yeah, I do plan to pick it up with my old team.

I currently got beta-access (lucky me)
And there have been some proper adjustments,
and come OB new stuff will be added, I think it'll be a good revamp :]

I HOPE that I can get my char back, that is: I played the beta-phases,
but not the retail version, I don't know if they wiped after the beta (I'm quite sure they did)
If that's the case, I'll have to restart from scratch (quite a lot of designing hours down the drain there ;_____; )

So I take it this game crashed and burned then it was sent back to beta stages?

yes, but mostly due to a large outbreak in hackers which led the company to go bankrupt, but from what Ive seen it has become drastically better .

when is the open beta?

Plus, people didn't seem to like the P2P model either (Or was it B2P?)
Now they've fixed alot of bugs and they're going for F2P

AFAIK it was B2P but that was still enough to NOT buy it.
Cause many, myself included, thought the game was FAR from finished
at the time RTW threw the game on the shelves.
The whole community gave feedback with pointers that HAD to be changed before
APB hit retail, but RTW didn't fix it. As such many made the rational decision of not paying for a broken game.

Only things that bugged me was the RAM and localization issue (You had to be on English (USA).. or something like that).

Other than that, I found it very playable.

Not sure but I think someone said OBT was immediately after this CBT, so hopefully in the next few weeks or month.

Considering 'Wave 2' of the CB goes live around March 15th,
I reckon the OB might still be about 2 - 3 months off.
(cause after Wave 2 there's 3 and 4, which will also take it's leisury time to roll-out I reckon)

So there you have it :]

There's only three waves, not four. Wave 1 is USWest (current wave), Wave 2 is EU/rest of the world, Wave 3 is USEast.

Chances are OBT will start mid-late April or early May, at the rate they're going. Considering the game is essentially complete and all they're doing is a bunch of crazy tweaks and minor additions (weapons and vehicles), chances are the CB period will not last longer than a month past the start of Wave 3, if that.

Gonna try it out (Open beta) ... then decide from there.
