Q&A WITH GAMERSFIRST - SUBMIT QUESTIONS

2878 Views 32 Posts APB General
Hey Guys,

So next week we are having a short Q&A with the developer via email and I thought it would be great to get some questions from this awesome new community.

Looking for questions that have a little depth but nothing too crazy. So don't ask them the meaning of quantum mechanics within the game world, but ask something a little more complex than WHY IS THE DRIVING SO BAD? [Rage]

The guys are really flat out right now getting the 1.5.2 Update out and stress testing so it's great they can do this for us. We're going to catch up with them in a while for a Skype interview that should have some more in-depth analysis.

So get asking :)
Can you give us a time frame on when you expect the game to come out of Beta?

Are there plans to some of the animations in the game, particularly entering/exiting vehicles?

Are there any new goodies that we can look forward to on the Armas Market in the near future?

Some players found themselves a little lost after exiting the tutorial. Not knowing how or where to buy or unlock new weapons etc. And also not knowing how to change their appearance and clothing. Any plans to make the tutorial or post tutorial a little more noob friendly?

When can we expect the driving mechanics to updated?

Fix the driving ffs.

And how about area effictive damage, headshots would be nice, but only if they can fix hackers.

fixed.

How important will customisation be in future releases of the game, not just in skins but in the way the game is played?
Some awesome questions guys - keep them coming :)
1. The Blog states the Servers are being looked at in other parts of the world, such as here in Australia, any time frame on when the Australian server will be available?

2. In regards to the Australian server, it was said that it will be premium only, will we be able to transfer our existing characters to this server, and what happens if we can't afford a month of premium, will we have to re-create characters back on the Colby server, or will the character information be stored on both servers?

3. There seems to be an issue with "Ghost Shots" in the game. Is this due to the latency from playing from here in Australia, or is it a larger issue? Any news on this being fixed?

4. When the Asylum district is implemented, will there be more contacts to pledge to, and a higher rank implemented, possibly with new weapon, vehicle, clothes and modification unlocks?

5. Are there any plans to make the "Social" district more social, such as having mini games - shooting range, casino - where crims and Enforcers can take each other on for cash?

6. Is Threat Level going to be hidden in the future? I vote yes.

7. Are the rest of the car customisation parts only going to be unlocked through a racing district, or will they be available through contact progression? If through a racing district, I'd like to disagree with this plan, as I play the game as a shooter, not a racer. I would find it boring to race cars, as if I wanted to do that I'd play N4S or something similar.

8. Is there any vision for permanent weapons to be available other than through ARMAS?

9. Are there plans for any more new districts - Airport, Suburbia, Outskirts maybe - and new mission types like raids going inside buildings?

10. Bigger groups - 8 per group for instance, yes or no?

11. Lastly, will there be positions for GM's available on the Australian server, if so, where can I apply? :)
Are there going to be new styles of missions released in the near future?
Why are groups limited to 4 people? When I try to play with my friends it usually doesn't go so well since I am the 5th one.
Would they think about or have thought about making a port for consoles? ;)

And what type of difficulties & costs would the company go threw to make it available for console owners?
Is there any chance of raising the number of people that can be in a group at one time? (More than 4 people)

What was the process in getting the project started up again after APB and Realtime World's closure? I am curious as to how it got up and running again, and what challengers GamersFirst came across, if any, in creating a game that went from not to hot so quickly.
needs more unrelated questions ...
What is in my pocket?
and not least of all ..
Where did you put my wife?

you haz to ask nod.gif
1. Will there be bigger sized groups in the coming updates?

2. How will the turf wars work exactly?

3. Is it possible to get the music player to play the same music to other players if it matches up from last.fm? (Instead of fetching a song from a similar genre?)

4. Will there be any improvements to the ingame video capturing system.

5. Is it possible to implement a first person perspective? (for getting good screenshots/video, completely hud-less)

6. Where's my dinner? [Rage]

This.
Because they are streaming through last.fm couldn't they just stream the same song to all players?

Ask them if they liek mudkips. [MOG]
Why is your game broken for the kool kat vile?
Gotta add - What are your plans for getting rid of the Hacker population in the game?

There seems to be quite a number of people who are using 3rd party programs to "Help" their gameplay, and it seems that IF they are banned, they're back pretty much straight away on a new account. This is bad for the game, as G1 should well know.

Also, WHAT constitutes good video evidence of a hacker? Is firing an N-Tec full auto and killing with is good evidence? Most people seem to agree that if you fire an N-Tec full auto you'd be lucky to hit the broad side of a barn, yet there are 100's of people who can do just that.
So many good questions here but I couldn't include them all. The Q&A has been sent off so now we await their reply. Thanks for getting involved in this guys :)
Can we see the Questions you shot through?
I sent about 80% but they will probably only answer half of them at the moment - they are so under the pump we are lucky to be getting anything.

However we will be catching up with them a little later to discuss more things :)
And what of Wraith and My promotion to GM's?
Hey guys!

Just giving you an update, the Q&A will be here very soon. Here is the email I received from GamersFrist.

"Hey Steve, My apologies for taking so long but the Q&A is coming close to being completed. I must say though, they are pretty good questions, it’s good to see some fresh one’s come through. Just as hold tight while I hog tie these devs. And we’ll get it done."



I can't wait to hear back!
Bring it on!
Yeeeeeeeeeeee ;O
