Yourwelcome "force every character to have the same hitbox dimensions for fair play" Your wording was weird so I assumed you didn't know that they were already the same size. red crosshair isnt even indicative of whether you actually hit the enemy or not. Use a sniper for example, sometimes you have to fire off the red hitbox to score a hit on an enemy corner hugging, because the shot somehow "magnets" to the center of the character model and into a wall in front of it, rather than the 2-3 inches off of it. So sometimes firing with no red crosshair actually scores a hit 6-8inches off the wall, where aiming won't change the crosshair color but still hit. (Not that many people know this...)

APB hitboxes are already 1 single box that never changes, character size does, that's about it.

To be fair, I didn't see a single GM during the event while I was on. That's not to say they aren't on, it's just rare for me to see any to begin with. I'd almost say 1x in 7 years have I seen them on during an event aside from Christmas.

they said they're waiting to do adds once the EU occurs or matchmaking fixed and things sorted out.

My original gmail which i used APB on, has been part of like 12 hacks, from Chegg, armor games, Edmodo, to unverified batch 1. So I mean... stranger things have happened?

You literally argued with me saying that this nonsense and couldn't be applied. "2. Player may not engage in any conduct or communication... which restricts or inhibits any other Player from using or enjoying these Services." I know that glitches and loopholes are against the rules, which is also why I try to avoid doing the item movement speed loophole and other glitches, especially during events. Remember "just because it's possible, doesn't mean it should be done". That "group" exists, though it's more of a culmination of like-minded individuals who I clump together as group, since they have the same mindset, than an actual clan of players. It's not my fault you don't like being lumped in with people who think the same. Big oof, that'd explain a lot actually.

I doubt half the people were being effected by input lag, as much as they were FPS lag and server lag and mistaking the two. Vehicles definitely handled funny in the beta, and there seemed to be a definite lag for vehicle turning. But i noticed no such thing for any firing/sprinting/movement, unless the server had me warp like i did a few times.

Rules are just invisible social constructs, you must've missed the part where I confront the people, ask why, and they respond "it's possible so it's okay". The crowd exists they use the same "it's possible so it's okay" argument. BTW why are you even mentioning "rules"? People play this game to do whatever they want remember? Pretty much, these people know that LO and G1 haven't been punishing rulebreakers so they get away with it. I've seen the same people who glitched previous events that I've reported still running around for these ones.

If you play everything fine on 144fps then it there wouldn't be any different "feel" fps wise. The only difference is that you like seeing through smoke and adjusting the screen ratio to break recoil lol.

I legit didn't notice any input lag or delay except possibly while driving. /shrugs. Everything from movement to firing felt fine if not better imo. It's just the FPS was dipping a bit until you adjusted the settings and possibly restarted the game to apply em.

to be fair, a lot of people run potato configs without needing them at all. A lot of streamers with good computers seem to only use em to see through smoke and explosions.

Mostly unless in silver, but correct Correct, dethreating is already bannable, the reasons for it "aside", so there wasn't any focus on it. As that was more or less part of the "CoC rule 2 discussion" ^^^ Something we agree on for once. I don't ask players to lose if i've gotten a team of newbies. I have once in a while asked enemies to take it slightly easier on them but feel free to take me out as normal. I don't expect people to lose for newbies to win, nor do i expect them to "take it easy" on them either, though it is nice sometimes to know that people do take it a little easier for the sake of trying to keep a population going. I simply find extending missions to farm them rather... scrubby. ^

You guys have friends???

Not at all what i'm claiming, i probably was mid gold at the time, but the system back then counted roughly the past 25-30 matches for threat. I didn't go negative, i only stopped at "100" when i tried (probably also a huge factor other than the next part), though i had a few wins and decent matches in between some of them, so it didn't want to dethreat me. To be fair, i also had like... sub 30 fps, and was for some reason still going 15+ kills a match against golds.... wasn't fun

That bug was fixed like 2015/2016, but yeah it used to be common af, you don't have to worry about glitched items into walls anymore (unless someone did it recently), just nonsense like VIP being where they shouldn't or items ramped to unfixed "no timer" locations (which have slowly been fixed), that is aside from the movement speed bypasses. I did end up reporting some guy today for being on a building he shouldn't be. Pretty sure he did the same thing last event as well, but I haven't seen the hammer on anyone for doing so which is a shame.

Indeed, it's been rather entertaining at the least.

To be fair, it's probably the "it's possible so it must be okay" crowd again who blames GMs for not fixing the locations, rather than blame themselves for being trashy players who don't like following the CoC. Every time I see someone doing something glitchy/loophole/exploity they always use that explanation.

You're right, live looks way better

Probably because you saw my name on the side and decided to ignore it. (though let's be honest, i'm sure i'm popcorn worthy at times) Didn't mean to turn it into a dethreat thread if I did.... oops?

Funny how you consider "destroying" and "farming" synonymous, and can't figure out the difference between playing normally and farming. If you're going to farm, go ahead as you've said. Can't wait til you get forced out of bronze and have to face decent players when the new matchmaking system comes into play. Farming new players has destroyed this game population, at least you've admitted to being part of that problem, it's a shame you're proud of it. I don't have pity for bullies and those who helped create today's problems in APB. Me deciding the rules? Imagine thinking I'm deciding the rules when I literally "quote" them.

There's a stark difference between farming players, and destroying them in a fair match. No-one is saying you can't be a "skilled" player, nor that you can't win. Only that you don't FARM new players. You've been playing for at least 7 years, learn the difference.

my ryzen 7 seems to do well, at this point i think it's just my video card that hates me

Customization is great. 3rd person feel, i guess is as well. Everything else on that list i'd probably call mediocre. TTK isnt even fast, most games kill faster. Now now, we all know Cookie is the best character around here.

No, my point was simply to make you look like a prick who gladly chases away new blood for their own benefit, and you gladly walked into it. A) They say they have and will ban players griefing, dethreating, mission afking. Don't pretend that "farming new players" can't easily be placed on the list. B) It'd be dumb by your standards C) Trash humans deserve to be pissed off No, the socially acceptable point was to show what kind of playerbase you and others are. If for example the game is to succeed with new blood, then players like you will have to suffer. Social standards in games exist for a reason, you can complain about people pointing out how trashy you are all you want.

You've proven nothing honestly. All you've said is that you believe it's stupid to not be allowed to farm newbies intentionally. I consider "newbs" players under rank 50 or so. I also clearly defined what farming was, the total kills doesn't matter, if the objective is to extend the mission as long as possible to farm another player to level roles. New players don't generally even know how to /g or /t let alone /d chat, so i don't think you even have a point there about "they never complain. I've had a number of R50's that I had to inform how to reply to /w, /t, and /g, so again "no-one complains" because newbs have no bloody clue how to even say shit. You also falsely assume that it's based on kills, or that you should intentionally lose. In which case you're strawmanning, so allow me to explain. Extending the mission when you could win that round, to intentionally get more kills/arrests, aka level roles on new players, is farming. Playing normally, and trying to win, and actually failing to protect the obj, or w/e is fine. Key difference there. If you can't figure out which one is which, I suggest learning how to play APB reloaded after 7 years of game time. So, I want you to very clearly, explain "why" intentionally farming new players for roles, is acceptable. Without saying "it's possible via mechanics so it must be okay". Why should it be socially acceptable to do so, when the population is low enough as is due to chasing away newbs by doing such tactics? Do you believe that doing so "is in the spirit of the game"? Can you give me an honest reason as to why the APB playerbase should simply "accept and encourage" farming of new players? Without first ignoring the negative repurcussions of doing so? I highly doubt you can give me honest answers to any of these questions without first looking like a prick.
