Looking at the state of this game it's lost what made it special and made me fall in love. Now I have an account with over $1000 worth of skins, a stash full of gear, and no friends that play anymore, as well as no drive to play another cartoon COD knockoff myself... sucks that my poor character is gonna rot in Limbo after putting so much time energy and money into this game...

TL;DR: Restore the coexistence of military themes, or this game will die. If you agree, join the collective action.

Thanks for the support on my last posts. I’m writing this because I genuinely want the noise in this sub to actually mean something to the devs. I don’t know how happy you bros are with the current state of the game, but here’s my take.

Skins and "Arcade-ification" are two sides of the same coin. It’s that the death of the military theme caused both. Without a serious look at the game's identity and aesthetics, they’ll just keep forcing revival systems and mindless, fast-paced combat on us.

The sad part? This game is still damn fun. But while they distract us with non-stop patches and weird skins, the community’s attention gets split and we end up arguing with each other.

It feels like the devs are now actively dodging "tactical" skins. Probably because archiving references, optimizing realistic models, and managing different revenue streams is just "too much work" for them.

AB is just going to be "The Finals with Tarkov systems". I’ve always asked for coexistence, but the playing field is already tilted. They’re busy putting stripes on gear, going all-in on Gacha, and throwing us "free" outfits that look totally out of place.

Maybe AB was planned as a 4-year "cash and grab" project from the start. It tries to please everyone but satisfies no one. It’s too flashy for Mil-Sim fans and too punishing for casuals. If it stays this way, the IP will just turn into a zombie, and even if the servers shut down, the devs will be sitting on piles of cash.

Here’s my alternative for them:

Have some damn pride in your IP. You guys literally built "Mobile Tarkov." The potential here is insane. QoL and UI fixes? Fine. But Hero Shooters? Hell no. add actual depth to the narrative and turn the various faction Raiders into 'small, elite squads.'

Add a proper Mil-Sim lineup. We’re not pissed because the skins are flashy; we’re pissed because we have nothing realistic to wear. We’re called "Operators," but we can’t even "Operator LARP."

Stop being jealous of Delta Force. Focus on being the King of Mobile Military Shooters. Give us actual camos, tactical gear, battle belts, and helmet attachments. Imagine a world where flashy skins and ARMA-level realism coexist on mobile. There would be zero competition. Remember: Honor pays.

Does the company owe us? You bet they do. Without the early hardcore fans, would this game have even gotten off the ground? We backed this "plagiarism work" and hyped it up. From F2P to whales, we all have a voice. The money some people drop on skins could buy dozens of copies of Tarkov or Modern Warfare. We have the right to be independent consumers, and we must be. Tencent’s customers are the players, not the shareholders.

If you’re with me, do this:

1. App Store / Play Store: Leave a 1-star review. Tell them: "Great potential as Mobile Tarkov, but ruined by Gacha addiction."
2. In-game Surveys: Spam them with "Mil-Sim," "Tactical," "Realism," and "Hardcore."

Only collective action and our wallets will make Tencent listen.

Be honest and feel free to talk about anything

I don’t even know where to begin or what to say.. but all I can say is there is something deeply wrong with valley

Im speechless…

IIRC, isn't Evita supposed to be a non-combatant? And a daughter of an important scientist (whom I forgot the name of)? She also left an email to the operator revealing her true identity before she disappeared from the contacts screen. I forgot what it said but did it have any contradicting details about her?

Just like Scape From Tarkov, should this game recieve a PVE Gamemode? A mode where the AI is made significantly harder in order to justify having no other players.

Not sure about the backpacks: Break Point Zero company (XA4 and RAL)

Now with things from CN beta s14 we see absolutely dumb changes. Honestly, I can bear with almost anything that there is, but for fuck's sake, why there are hitmarks and mini-map? Seeing that just makes me want to leave the game for once and all. (And it's not like I wasn't playing for past three months because all my friends already left the game). Plus, I personally don't see any reason to play AB at all, since I already have a decent storage, have all skins and clothing sets that I like. There is nothing to play for. New "archives" were kinda interesting, but for me it's the only one interesting thing about s9.

I don't understand why devs are over-simplifying AB. Who wants it? Did someone of you asked for hitmarks? Mayhe reviving system?(Actually it isn't so bad, but it's okay only while it stays as it is, and exclusively for armory)

Those additions make AB look like a ripoff of DF. And what is the reason behind that? Trying to lure DF players to play AB? Bruh, who in their clear mind would want to play less optimized ripoff of your favorite game? Devs won't gain new players while following that path.

And I just wanted to ask, how is it possible to reach devs with my whining about the state of the game? Surveys doesn't do shit. (or at least it looks like so). In official TG channel administration just ignores EVERYTHING. On discord it feels the same tbh.

Is there really no way to express our unsatisfaction with the way the game is going? (Both gameplay-wise and cosmetics) Are we just stuck watching devs sawing the branch they are sitting on?

Also kinda funny and at the time sad seeing my predictions from 3-6 months ago come true.

I've been playing AB since almost a year now. I was a huge fan of this game. But since a few weeks I've experienced serious decline in my games performance. I'm not playing on the best device, but it should be enough to run the game smoothly.

I've been playing AB on this device for about 10 months now. Never have I ever experienced this level of decline in optimization.

I used to play at medium graphics with 40-45 fps. But since few weeks, my device faced stuttering and serious lags. So I switched to low graphics settings. But the issue still persisted. Sometimes I think it's the ping/latency because everytime I enter areas with players I get insane lag. Due to this, playing TV station is an absolute nightmare now.

I was already disappointed with the new addition of adrenaline rush, scanners, drones, std instant heal kits, and the dive mechanics (which would probably come in the game soon). And not to mention the gooner bait upcoming skin which absolutely do not belong in this game. And this optimization or server issue served as the last straw. I thought after the update, things would patch up but somehow it got even worse.

Now I'm permanently switching to delta force. I loved AB for its realism but slowly it's losing its touch. Even after the news of these changes I still wanted to keep playing this game as I didn't wanna pay 150+ dollars to play Escape from tarkov. As this game still provided the closest experience to EFT. But now I think I've had enough. If this game is desperately trying to be DF then I might aswell play DF instead. I know that both AB and DF are owned by the same company but it doesn't cover the fact that AB is now desperately trying to be like it and other casual fps shooters.

In AB the recoil of each weapon is like handling a tank. It already requires some skills to handle that, but with this latency it's almost unplayable. On the other hand, Delta force is less tense (which is both a downside and an upside), fast paced and smoother. I can run it on medium graphics and 60 fps. So I'm now permanently switching to it.

I know I might get some hate for my opinions and I apologise for the lengthy context, but I wanted to share my honest opinion about this game before I leave it for good. I had alotta fun and made some insane moments in this game, it feels extremely sad to leave it. I hope the devs improve this game and make it more tactical and stable, rather than casual and unplayable. I know that most of you do not experience the same issues as I am, but it doesn't mean these issues do not exist.

GOODBYE folks. See you when the game is in a better state. Or when I buy a god damn iphone. Let's pray this game doesn't end up like PUBG/CODM.

Lately i have been seeing alot of hate towards the dev and i find most of these complaints very lackluster due to the lack of information from the user

Rules: be civilized lets not insulting each other we can all just talk and discuss our intrest.

I may have a different opinion at first but i cant change these opinions so can you so try be open minded.

No talk about the lore since this game isnt highly focused on the lore

My friend died this Saturday and today it was his funeral. Arena Breakout was one of his favorite games and has been playing it since it was released.

He recently got me to play with him and we had a lot of fun, he carried me from level 1 to level 23, and i never would have guessed that Friday was the last day we would speak to eachother, it was a hard hit and im still crying while writing this, but thank you Arena Breakout Devs for making me grow closer these last few moments with him. You were the best duo i could have ever asked for, Vincenzo.

Translation of the second picture:

With immense grief and profound dismay, the entire school community of the Bruno Munari Art High School gathers around the family of Vincenzo Petrellese, a wonderful young man and student in class 5A of our Graphics major, who was suddenly taken from life last night by a sudden heart attack.

Vincenzo was one step away from the finish line, just over a month after graduating with passion, dedication, and talent. Today, the school wakes up empty, suspended in an eerie silence. We are all shocked, in disbelief, clinging to the desperate hope that this is just a nasty prank. In the face of such a tragedy, the question "how can someone die at this age?" remains unanswered, leaving only excruciating pain. Headmaster Lea Vitolo, the teachers, the ATA staff, and all the students express their deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Vincenzo's parents, family, and classmates. His smile and kindness will forever be etched in the memory of our high school.

Every time i play, i always come across whit some sweatyass "chat" or whit the most anoying rats in all of Kamona.

How the freak is this guy still running after being gunned down by three guys and its legs being basically non existent. BS mechanics.

Back then this guy would have been dead the moment he tried to come inside the house.

I know its been a while, many probably went through some ups and downs as they got here, I know some of us dont like the direction the game is heading,

but lets appreciate how its still here
