Wow dbl post. Sorry for that. Here's a warm fuzzy pic of a true ogre.

Might be coolio for you-lio to give a day or 2 of free premium so we could buy premium cheaper!~ And a fire sale would be great.

They just need to fine tune and rework the scoring, matchmaking and threat system. Does that sound hard? It's not. Go back to the original RTW system it wasn't perfect but compared to how it's degenerated it will seem like a miracle improvement... and they shouldn't need a rocket scientist to reinvent what already existed before G1 fubared what wasn't broken to create the most broken game ever.

It would have been easier if they just had a general amnesty and put flags on sketchy accounts after giving everyone a chance to start fresh,, and spend money!@~

It was a joke bro or didn't you read the part about the French Revolution.

liberté egalité fraternité the french revolution!~ Because eliminates the P2W elitest factor, plus requires tactics to figure out which gun is best and absolutely everyone is on the same footing. Haha yes I know, but it was sure fun on test!~ IN fact I tried out a few guns and hope to buy a couple when the Armas prices are normalized a bit cheaper... and/or sales! ;D

Do you have an AMD processor? I know the agesa motherboard drivers have conflict and you need to flash the bios to an earlier bridge bios and not the more recent ones.

Some people were not legit banned. I'm sure they got all their stuff back. those who were granted a merciful amnesty after being legit banned were stripped.

Download the APB test server... you get EVERY item, EVERY skin, EVERY pack, weapon, legendary for FREE to try on Test... and OMG was it a blast. I know it's not the same and prices should be more reasohnable and lowered, esp adjusted for pooer countries... but wow did I have fun trying stuff out on test server.

After downloading the test server and getting free everything... I want LO to give me it ALL... was like christmas opening those mails!~ Just imagine if everyone had access to everything, so long as they maintained premium. Almost everyone would buy premium ;D

Xenophobic... you do realize that America is a racial and cultural melting pot don't you? I mean we have Brazilian Americans, Cuban Americans, Mexican Americans, Puerto Rican Americans, Dominican Republic Americans, Greek Americans, Italian Americans, African Americans, etc. The point being however, that Americans who play from American which is the richest country in the world and whose server, Jericho at least is hosted in the USA should have better ping and better computers and better internet than players logging on from as far away as Brazil... and that simply in order to play competitively, there have been a lot of sketchy Br players. Yes I saw a few... very few Br players. They were playing very badly I might add.... nothing at all like the powerhouse that Br team was playing yesterday before Battleye. I would say that the district chat has changed dramatically, as in zero Portugese written, zero boasting against Americans... and as I say a precipitous decline in Brazilian presence... no doubt about that. In a perfect world, a computer program might be written to fairly compensate players from other continents on the planet to enable them to play without the bad ping and micro adjust their settings to equivalency... but that technology hasn't been developed yet.

They're mad cos their accounts were stripped of their ill-gotten gains. they waited in anticipation for accounts with millions of in-game cash and several legendaries... to find a banace of $0.00 and a stock star.

Uhm, first thing I noticed was no more Brazilians... if that's any standard of measure.

Just for the sake of argument... maybe he was stealing YOUR themes, and then accusing you of stealing HIS themes... to get you all hot and flustered... and well, posting a drama thread.

I was rather amazing, I must say, logging into Jericho server after the patch. First thing I noticed was how quiet and calm the district chat was. Then after a few missions, it struck me like a lightning bolt.... ... ... ... ... After the Battle Eye patch... almost all the Brazilian players... were gone. Wonder what they are doing today.

While the truth is quite a few Br (and Ru) players were sketchy and probably cheating, the new anticheat will fix that. This game needs players... and we CAN all just get along. APB's rainbow coalition.

^This. It's fair to strip recently unbanned accounts, which I assume will operate as already flagged and so keep the users clean... but to remove any in-game reward permanently destroys all incentive for playing the game, and constitutes a continual punishment and stigma. The purpose of unbanning accounts was to give players a new chance under a new anticheat system, not continually punish them. This way the very large banned population has a chance to be welcomed back to INVEST in the game... which no one will do with a "dud" account. Come on, either we trust the new anticheat and GM system or why bother? Who's going to buy premium or items on an account which can't fully play the game? Be business smart LO, yes the community hates cheaters, but truth be told thecommmunity often behaved WORSE than the cheaters by heaping abuse on them. WHY? Because the game was mismanaged for a very long time, there are no innocents here... Sadly cheaters made up a large portion of the population and if we don't welcome them back... under supervision... they WONT come back, and this game is a long ways from attracting any NEW players, unfortunately. I support a general AMNESTY.... because without it, your game population will die.

MikeHell is it really you? District chat after one of them rants...

Keep dumptrucks, the holy shyt revenge of bronze nerdlets!~

IMHO, the toxicity was caused by a few factors... 1. no clientside anticheat. 2. Very poor FF mgmt. 3. Ban announcements and twitter feed sent to a private website for horrible abuses of those banned. And last but most importantly, the toxicity was a long term outgrowth of the gaming mismanagement and abuses it fostered, and the poor quality anticheat which didn't even seem to ban except months later creating endemic problems. If LO stiicks to their game plan, hires a few in-game GMs, manages BE with intelligence and fairness... I don't think the factors causing the toxicity will be so bad. Basically the whole APB playerbase was depressed and in a bit of rage over the negligence and abandonment of the game. This is no longer the case and there's a lot of reason for optimism.

There has to be a district where golds can play. But when for example golds ONLY want to play against bronzes... the bronzes disappear and Dethreating becomes a thing. The game is broken already. You cannot stop the cheaters. You can't. In a perfect world, but not here. So whatcha gonna do? Ban everybody? G1 already tried. What did it accomplish? a vanishing population. If the threat level gets attuned to the cheats. HEY, we've got our purgatory district huh? Now... I don't have to play on that one do I. So if there are more cheaters driving up the "threat level" then ordinary weak players... it's just reflecting the state of the game isn't it. But you and I know that will never happen because there aren't that many cheaters relative to the average playerbase. So your point is? If 100 cheaters raise the threat, where do the 10 bronzes play? Well, I say create a new little bronze district. If it gets flooded with cheaters... then find a new game cos... really, there's no where else to go if everyone in APB is cheating huh? But should, for example, 10 bronzes throw out and perma ban 100 so-called cheaters? Economically it doesn't work either. truth is, most of those presumed illegits ARE legit. they just are congregated in a weaker zone, where they do not belong, unless they tone down their game to stop griefing the district.
