I've only heard one person in /d say they were dethreating, and so far no hackers I've encountered...

I'm all out of reactions again... what's with that >.> I wish I had more to give. Great speechs Salvick. I hope that the toxicity of the game at least subsides if not permanently, but temporarily while the returning players prove everyone who doubted them wrong. I've never been banned, and have myself been toxic with players who I suspected of cheating. Whether or not those players were banned doesn't matter. The community should be welcoming a return to higher populations. The new anticheat is doing it's best to prevent any players who want to ruin the fun. Can't wait to see old faces again.

1. They're not only U.S. Servers. That's like saying Microsoft is a U.S. only company, they don't do business anywhere else... 2. The North American Server is predominantly English Speaking because the main audience is predominantly English Speaking (Canada and U.S.) 3. Just as they can join the EU server, they can join the NA server. Which, if I remember, a Russian player can join to troll as well... should he/she be banned from the server just for wanting to play on it? (hint: the answer's no) As much as you might not like to have a teammate that might not speak your language, and that certainly does suck, because this game is team based. However, they have just as much a right to pick the server that is closest to them to play on. Like it or not. Now, as for "STFU, LEAVE" chats, anyone speaking English, German, whatever can say that, and harassing is against the ToS, so they would be digging their own hole. Yes these servers are in the U.S., but can you guess why? Because the U.S. is geographically, and population wise, in the middle of the region for all the players.

So, you, or if someone was playing on your account, broke a/some rule(s) from the ToS. Now, they don't specify what rule you broke, which in lieu of the unbanning, you might just need to send a support ticket, and find out.

Sweet, looks like we can see this finally becoming a thing again!

IIRC, FairFight is still running in the background, while BattlEye has taken primary use as the anti-cheat.

This. The best time to ask will be after the Engine v. 3.5 rolls out for the game.

Before the update, Vivox never worked for me. I never used it, and I don't want to use it. If I need a voice chat to play, Discord.gg is the most useful, and lightweight on my system. Better than Teamspeak, and Skype. Not to mention, I don't really enjoy using VoIP with randoms...

The "lag" in the servers doesn't work like that. Stereotyping the whole citizenry of a nation isn't helping your case.

I'm pretty sure the NA server is the only one close enough for people in South American to play with a somewhat steady latency, (compared to EU and Han). However, to address the ethics of your topic. No, they shouldn't get blocked from joining any server, just you, an American, can play on the EU server. Jericho is for North America, so Canada and Mexico, and I guess any Caribbean Island can too. (San Juan is a US Territory, and they predominantly speak Spanish). I'm pretty sure G1 didn't block the entire country of Brazil from playing. I was playing earlier, and out of the entire EN2 Waterfront, there was 1 or 2 people in /d speaking Portuguese. In my 7-8 missions, only 1 teammate was Brazilian. And guess what, he actually worked with our team... Live and let it be. They're not hurting you playing on the server.

Holy crap, nice to see you posting again. And they certainly do look similar. I think you can try experimenting with GIMP and get somewhat similar results... Not exact, but close. I hope to see it too!

I know that it's been said the server is in Dallas, although I wish it was in Kansas City, would certainly be helpful to have the server in the city you live. I hope maybe a subsidiary of the server can be placed near the east coast for some Han players that would like to migrate over for a higher population. I'd also like to see how Little Orbit wishes to expand the playerbase in all the servers for a population boost after this patch.

I'm not to experienced with web hosting, and domains, but sites.google.com is free afaik.

Being a Computer Science student helps with situations like these. If you create a program (game) that takes in input from the user, you only want a specific type of input, so you only allow the user to enter in what you give them, or what you want to give them. If they enter in something you don't want, you have to account for that, and prevent them from doing it. Hence: int input; cin >> input; while(true){ if(input <= 0) cout << "Please enter a value greater than zero" << endl; else { cout << "Thank you for entering a value" << endl; break; } } If the programmer doesn't want an integer less than or equal to zero, account for it, and prevent it. If Little Orbit doesn't want a user to edit ini files, have default values set, and overridden when the game starts. Oh wait, it already does that. Now, I'm not saying to and edit everything to be fine tuned to your heart's desire. EULA states you can't edit the game's files. Don't edit the files, if you get caught and banned for editing them, don't say you weren't warned. If that's not an adequate comparison. Apple Inc. doesn't want you to reverse engineer their operating system, MacOS. However, there's a big community that do that, they make PC's run MacOS, and they're called Hackintoshes. You can't go and publicize telling people to do it, Apple will sue you, but you can say that it can be done. If you do it, you're not going to get arrested or sued, Apple has bigger fish to fry. You'll be fine if you do it. Worst thing that can happen is Apple will disable your computer from connecting to their services. (Also, Apple says in their ToS and EULA to not use their computers for any sort of nuclear arms development or launch systems... soooo...?) *in case anyone gets upset, last statement was sarcastic*

I'd like your post if I could, but I'm all out for today. Also, conversation has seem to run it's course. If a GM or staff wish to reply, but lock afterwards.

I posted a thread on the signature generator. Link: Upload the image it downloads to imgur (or your preferred site) and then right click it, copy image location, and then paste it into your signature on your edit account page. Sorry for being off topic. I voted to keep it, game needs a money sink, it's what keeps the inflation down, and prevents our game from having any legendary cost 500 million +, or any symbol costing 1 billion

As a Computer Science student, Software does not work 100% of the time. If you fix an error in your code, two more appear, blah blah blah. What I'm saying is, a large endeavor like this takes time. Patience is a virtue, and if you don't want to play the game until there's an update, go ahead. All your stuff will still be here. Take a break from the game. If you don't want to take a break, then keep playing. I have a friend that can't play missions, his internet disconnects him every time he plays in a missions district. He spends time in social making themes. (search him up: iry. )(shameless friend promotion). On top of complaining about hacking. Sure broadcasts are still disabled, and will forever be. However, with the communication they [Little Orbit] have brought forth, I trust them for the time being, hopefully the future, and that they have FairFight enabled. It's going to be tough for an untuned system (over a year mind you) to catch cheaters efficiently. There are still cheating bans likely being handed out, and rules being enforced by the new team. However, it's not automatic, and it's not fast. I'm not going to tell you what to do, other than simply asking that you wait for a bit. Let them give us the first new update to the game. They have told us that the next patch/update will be with BattlEye. It's their priority right now. Once that is set, and everything has become stone, then if you have issues with their management, criticize them. Petition and debate, whilst being respectful (because some of the community can't even do that)

I just pulled an image off of google searching 'APB Reloaded Memes"

It's not dead yet!... yet... we'll see how L.O. fixes it. How about this meme?

I'm not going to really debate it here, but here's a link and a quote to another forum post discussing it. it's not because it's there that it serves a purpose , any devlopper could disable it , ifyou watch other config files , there's options for freecam modes and all that stuff that isn't enabled in the game , there's also XBox bindings with half of them working correctly . also there's a texture file for the convertible in the game files , yet it's outdated and has no reason to be there . there's just so much stuff in apb that's there and doesn't serve a purpose , and this "mouse fix" is one of them , it was effective before , but now it does nothing AND supposedly puts you at a risk . so be honest with yourself , would you rather keep your placebo and have a chance to be banned , or just not use it and play exactly the same without the ban chance Quote taken from this thread:

Might I add that the title of this thread is a bit misleading... just a bit? Hold to crouch is a reasonable request. Toggle sprint is a reasonable request (although sprintshooting needs fixing) *mouse fix* What are you talking about? Are you asking about the .ini files that change the mouse settings and such? Because there's already a thread on the new forums asking for this... and on top of that... the mouse "fix" doesn't work or do anything. Custom crosshairs would be nice in game, I'd rather not have a third party software edit the game's files to have your own cross hairs.

I kinda wanna know what they thought about the gun play, and whether or not the tutorial was well explained or descriptive. I've been playing long enough, that the tutorial didn't really affect me. This past week though, I got my girlfriend to sign up, and try playing. She didn't like it, albeit the tutorial wasn't really detailed enough, and she felt like she had no real direction that explained the game for her. Probably better to post this in another thread about the tutorial, but I'd like to hear something back from the devs on their opinion of the tutorial.

In the same boat as you.

I personally have mained the 762 for years. (up until I stopped playing a year ago) And, I can barely still quick switch, or let alone play well with the gun. I think the best way to "balance" the gun would take it's damage from 850 to 750 or 800. However, the HVR isn't the only problem, and everyone seems to be aware that other guns have issues. But, ignoring the N-Tec, so many guns in the game aren't being used as much. Everyone REEEE'd about the PMG for a long time. And, when Quick Switching was easier, everyone REEE'd about that. As long as people don't like a particular gun, people will complain about it being "out of balance". I have certainly seen quick switching, and issues with some guns. But, there's also a lack of diversity with weapons, many guns, like the PMG, the SHAW, ALIG, and any secondary weapon except for the ACT .44, FBW, or Nano not being used. They're not in the meta. Rather than bring a handful of guns down, bring some back to meta.
