    Well also that game above is literrally dead... it's the community or its vets playing since long years mainly keeping it alive.. it's the same for APB Reloaded .. also the player have returned in APb are also mainly old APB players too!

     

    Both games situation have something in the core they make them more similar than we think... streamers/youtuber are the end sort of enterprauners hungry for visualizations from viewers and viewers are like a boungustatio gourmet at their prefered restaurant... they go for eating their preferred food but for dessert or second dish, they will try something else.... something like this video above is something different and creative, that's why that youtuber despite his stubborness commenting and playing a dead game, he is quite successful... and indirectly talking good or bad he is keeping alive that game.. so it's a WIN WIN situation for him and TF2...

     

    But that's not exactly what I wanted to talk about, if LO make a sort of more direct support to these youtubers or people making contenet, they may do softing about the shaming on presunt cheaters/ hacker with clearly evidence, it will be better.

    ANTICHEATs are sort of  bitter cheese filters with holes everywhere, some biggers and some smaller around there where exploit memory adress etc,  but  it's proved and the only way to work is with admins or GM servers/ a community supporting it, 

     

    We have jocker tickets sytem too.. why not further develop and take advantage further beyond?,,. it may use it for REWARD players in case of having reason to have reported a suspected cheater?

    For example they may integrate it or add NEW ARCHIEMENT COUNTER,  in case in 15 days  or one month you have reported 10+ people using cheats, you receive a reward of 50  joker tickets on your mail character.

     

    Then add a second counter, which count how many cheaters you have successfly reported which every I dont know every 25 cheaters warned/ banned thanks to you, you receive 100 jocker tickets or other rewards.

     

    I remind only a game used a system quite similar like this one above, and make it a good promotion for the game on the game industry,  and also more contenent youtuber or people may work around for make contenent.

     

    Hackers and cheaters are an infinite plague you are right @Mokoezh, the only way to block them is using an anticheat attached to the Kernel core, checking full time the PC and your privacy, or let the community do the work, rewarding them, while Developers have just to update regularly the anticheat... it's past two weeks sort of and  the servers slowly slowly are swarming again with cheaters again.

     

     

     

    to regularly update an anticheat, someone has to do it.

    For someone to do it, you have to pay him. To pay, you need money.

    To have money it takes an income.

    To have an income, it takes customers who buy or investors.

    The customers or investor, we are the community.

    So if we want this method we have to pay.

     

    The reason why I offered to put back premium paying in the past. If we send the message that paid for premium is used to invest in a better quality of anticheats and that we can see that several people invest with us. Inevitably it will be more interesting for everyone to also pay for premium. the more people there are, the more encouraging it will be for those who are not sure if they want to pay. The more efficient the anticheats. 

    Of course there will always be cheaters who will succeed, but I believe that it is possible to reduce the quantity of cheaters by a lot.

     

    Obviously, the developers have to do their part too and really use this money on anticheat.

     

    Otherwise, no matter all the ideas that can be thrown around, unless there is an exceptional miracle, I don't think it's possible that there is another way to have a great anticheat.

     

    Also my other idea was of a campaign of a 100th of small missions that takes at least 30 hours of play. Players will have to prove that they are active at the end of each mission with a small puzzle of the genre, choosing images with an airplane to prove that you are not a robot. or enter the google authenticator code to avoid campaign bots. Reinstate Fairfight with this campaign. which seemed to work, other than players kept coming back. But since they will have to do a long campaign for each new account, i'm sure many of them will get discouraged. or even better both ideas togjeter.

     

    Youtubers are not something really reliable, you never know when they're going to get into it, when they're going to stop or not even if they're going to cheat themselves.

     

    And for the reporting method proposed by mrlek, it's the same as the idea of updating the anticheat. it takes an employee who must be paid.

     

    We can't count on volunteers, the developers are not millionaires doing nothing. I feel like people think they are just lazy sitting on their chairs waiting for a reason to do anything. They need to make money too, if apb doesn't pay enough, they have to take their time to make money elsewhere.

    Need a petition for LO make a coinventure with some CREATIVE Youtuber for instituite an APB Hacker police with much of videos, analyze etc.. especially if the framed one is a youtuber/ streamer too and blunty cheating.

    IT WILL BE A SUCCESS!  (well if it will be something like below)

     

    Streamers/youtubera want view and to be famous, apb is dead. The odds to get more view and subs is to go on more popular games

     

    And even if one or many came. When we had fairfight, banned players just kept creating new accounts to come back.

     

    Maybe apb could make a long single player story mode before getting into the pvp to discourage hackers from getting banned and have to start it all over everytimes. But then, i guess that would be alot of work. But then i guess they will find bots to run thru that storymode. Add random kinds of easy puzzles that can only be solved by humans to avoid bots? But anyway i guess they will still find an other way.

     

    I dont think there really is a way to solve the problem of hackers in a such inactive game with such a low income

    How do I invest anything? 

    Well, to really invest you gotta contact them. But i doubt you would want to do that. Otherwise it is about how much the community spend on this game, but i doubt the income for the game is even the quarter of a person's salary. Imagine the income value is just enough to have 1 employee to work on this game a single day per week or maybe just 2 hours a day. It is never going to be enough to create everyone's suggestions and requests. It is barely enough to just keep the game running at its minimum

    This is wishful thinking, but in the future here are some things I would like to see:

     

    Weapon knockback/knockdown: It would be interesting to see some weapons push people and objects.

     

    Regeneration fields: A visible indicator that a player is healing, like floating green crosses. 

     

    Wounded animation/state: Holding arms, shoulders etc

     

    New door opening animations: Shoulder barge/ pushing with both hands etc

     

    Faction specific weaponry: Since some weapons are reskins, having one belong to one faction and one belong to another would be really interesting. For example: NTEC for Criminals and Joker CR-5 for Enforcers, with the option to switch with either.

     

    Smoke grenades. 

     

    Hostage missions. 

     

    Please let me know your thoughts. 

     

     

     

     

    You all have loads of ideas. Not that i dont like any of them. But there is a price for everything. How much are you willing to invest for your ideas? If the answer is nothing. Than this answer is also what you should expect them to do about it.
