This Saturday! December 17th! Game Night!

 

At 9PM GMT this Saturday, come join us in the official APB server for some good fun! Tell your friends, spread the word, and climb up the leaderboards! Follow the countdown @ http://www.w3dhub.com/#events

 

Stay tuned for more updates!

I'm not sure if Siege will be done yet by then, fingers crossed Pushwall can make that happen, but do not count on it since a patch needs to also be deployed.

[moonsense715]

I can deploy ready patches quite fast.

[NodGuy]

Looks like I'll be missing this one too. Hopefully game-play is recorded and shared like last time.

[AZ-Stalker]

Whoever joins the event on Facebook - try and invite some more people to spread a bit of news around.

[VERTi60]

I'll stream it most likely

[ChopBam]

I'd try streaming if I was available to attend. Unfortunately I am not. Have fun!

[Raap]

I can deploy ready patches quite fast.

 

Good to know. Pushwall is currently hard at work integrating Siege into APB Delta, which involves essentially re-checking every little detail on the map to ensure it all functions correctly. The problem with my maps is that they feature non-standard gameplay, so things can always break when moved around from one work environment to another.

 

He's making solid progress, and I think he is getting close to completing it.

 

I'll try to be present the 17th.

I'll try my best to arrive at this one

[akhero47]

[devilslayersbane]

Dammit. I literally go into work at that time.

[Mojoman]

Annnd have to go to the in-laws 1h before game start >.>

[NodFan]

I will be there

[Cain Marder]

I just finished with my chores as the game night was over That was unlucky)

[moonsense715]

So how was the GN for those that made it?

[Testament]

it was thumbs down, small time. Like saddler.

[moonsense715]

The stats system recorded 31 people playing during the event:

To be fair, a lot of testers were missing yesterday.

 

(Blame me for that one.)

[JigglyJie]

Was a little boring, not many people were on and were constantly on and off and by the time the event started, only 8-10 people were there. Was really hoping for a large game, especially for Siege! Bugs also kind of dampened the Allied team on HostileWaters.

 

Though I did have a fantastic game on Siege, managed to turn in what was becoming a hopeless Soviet loss into a Soviet win thanks to that cannon. (Sammyd was actually helpful there!)

[Jeod]

An important testing event was scheduled at the same time as this event, unfortunately.

[moonsense715]

An important testing event was scheduled at the same time as this event, unfortunately.

Testers barely make up 5% of the playerbase, so that's not really a reason.

Maybe most of the people were preparing for holidays, exams? Or we didn't announce it on enough platforms?

 

Alternatively, why were some regulars missing? Bad start time for the event? Gameplay not liked enough?

I'd be interested in what everyone has to say.

 

I personally was at a birthday party.

[VERTi60]

I was asleep, due to too much drinking during parties. I'm not a regular for a couple of years anyway, but wanted to join big events/tests.

[JigglyJie]

 

I'd be interested in what everyone has to say.

Probably what you mentioned I'm guessing. Not to mention releases of Mental Omega and Rise of the Reds 1.87 Open Beta for those who like the Generals scene, would've also taken up other people's times. (if you have an SWR account, feel free to download it!)

 

Me personally I haven't been active in APB as much due to testing commitments of ROTR 1.87 though I do check this forum frequently and participate wherever possible. (we do actually have an APB topic on our forums!)

 

Perhaps a newish one could be arranged early 2017 time?

[Raap]

These events can be late for the EU timezones. I personally couldn't make it at the event time, but I played a few hours before with a decent number of people!

 

But no, having a substantial internal QA session happen at the same time doesn't help. Nothing being posted at CNCNZ is another thing as well (which AFAIK is literally the last remaining C&C 'news' fansite).

 

Better luck next time!
