    I'm not a 100% sure, but I think if you go afk or purposely do not participate while in missions, and you lose,

    your threat level goes down.

     

    So @BoomLion, you may want to just quit out of game if you don't want to be in mission against certain players.

    I think what he's mainly trying to say is that he visited a cheat forum out of curiosity and was shocked at how many of these shit bags currently exist in the game, and how rotten their attitude is towards everything including other players..  That's what I got from it anyway.

    That's what I got out of reading the OP's post.

     

    I suppose we could try and derail the OP's topic into something completely different

    that is not relative to the subculture of APB cheaters that openly share their experiences.

    but of legitimate people who said they seen  a suspicious person/cheater , was to my knowledge only one other person on Jericho that I am aware of and that was CookiePuss's thread.

    Although we haven't seen any "empirical evidence" as to CookiePuss's claim, as is usually requested,

    your comments do provide some clarity.

    Thank you.

    N-SSW 74 DVAH with a High Mag Scope.

    Makes people cry.

     

     

    Umm, avoid close quarter combat.

    😎

     

    EDIT:

    For an all verse weapon, Id'e go with a Joker rifle or equivalent.

     

     

    Edit-2:

    I will add the following...

    Your question....

     

    best gun for asylum fc

     

    It depends on your preferred style of gameplay & your niche area.

     

    Abington Towers provides players with a unique challenge.

    • Close Quarter
    • Mid Range
    • Long Range
    • .... and anywhere in between

     

     

    What weapon should I chose ?

    It really depends on your play style.

     

    Myself, I like to play long-to-mid range.

    So I choose those weapons that fills that "bill"

     

    You... you might like close-quarters-to-mid-range, and so,

    there are weapons available to use in that range.

     

    etc...

     

    Identify your niche

    Test out that pool of weapons that fit your requirements..

    and go to town ........

     

    They're really is no "GO-TO-WEAPON" ...

    It doesn't exist ..

     

    We all just work with what we have,

    our skills, and the tools available to us.

    And here we all thought @NotZombieBiscuit was gonna "swoop" in and yet again save us from some "silver" dribble,

    and add it to da pile.

     

    So much for consistency.

    Sigh....

     

    Yeah, it can get a bit confusing.

    Working on an algorithm that we can all work with, so bear with me.

     

    if non-forum-warrior

       dismiss and add to da pile

    else

      rally support for alleged hacusations

    else

      "git gud"

    end wtf

    Jericho. I was able to login about an hour ago. The server population started dropping rapidly, so I decided to swap factions. I couldn't return to the lobby, and after restarting could not login. Same happened with my group members.

     

    It appears to be up and running again. Maybe they just restarted.

    Thanks for the update.

    The ''git gud'' can be interpreted in many ways. Mostly it's just becoming adaptable and finding fun in what you're currently doing what prevents bitching. 

     

    Or, you know, maybe you have to find something else to do, a breath of fresh air, a change of pace. This case just means the game is simply annoying, just play another one for a few days before coming back. Moving on can be a solid option too, but maybe too straight forward for some people.

    Oh. I'm fine.

    I wasn't angry or anything.

     

    In fact, I killed him 3 or 4 times in a row afterwards.

    (we were in FC)

     

    I whispered him after to thank him for the advice.

    He ignored me.

     

    Sometimes, even when you win, you still lose.

    Hi all,

     

    As of 8am we went live with the new Anti DDoS solution.

     

    The team has been monitoring all afternoon, and it’s looking good so far. Seeing some nice low latency just in time for the holiday weekend.

     

    For those US-based Jericho players who have been frustrated, I encourage you to give it a shot.

     

    This solution uses a combination of systems, many of which had to be installed at the edge network in front of our gateway and servers. It was originally scheduled to go live in April, but our provider kept delaying due to conflicts with some of the other tenants using the same network.

     

    Hopefully this is a good step in the right direction.

     

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Very much appreciate the effort.

    does this count as you trolling yourself?

    I don't know the definition of trolling yourself so I'm curious.

    Unfortunately no.....

     

    I have never been successful in that area, but I do try.

    No sir.

     

    This has been more of a revelation... as it were.

     

    Uhmmm,  carry on.

    As you were..

    why are you so angry

     

    its only game, why u have to be mad?

    I don't believe that it is extreme anger, per say.

    But rather frustrations.

     

    Let's look at the basics of why "any" of us play video games.

    For most, it is for the pure enjoyment and entertainment factor.

    Others, it might be for monetary reasons.

     

    Let's concentrate on the pleasure seekers.

    When neither enjoyment or a satisfying entertainment experience can be achieved, 

    this leads to extreme frustration.

     

    It can get tiresome.

     

    So.... what do we do ?

    We leave.... to do something else.

    Perhaps another game.

     

    Anyways.

    When was name and shame ever allowed?

     

    During FF name and shame wasnt allowed here.

     

    FFbans was not an offical apb platform.

     

     

    The only time that I remember when Name & Shame was allowed by G1,

    was about 3 or 4 years ago.

     

    They had a massive Ban List as a sticky, and said they would keep it open for a while.

    That thread was about 50+ pages before G1 locked it after a year.

     

    This was before FF if I remember correctly.

     

    Yep... good times.

    Rather than creating a workaround (figuring out how to prevent gold players from starting missions while they are in a bronze district) they should perhaps instead focus on the root cause of the problem (people that deliberately screw with the threat system on purpose by artificially deflating their threat rating).

    I agree that understanding the root cause for players dethreating should be a focal point,

    but that effort, in my opinion should be a part of the matchmaking/phasing overhaul.

     

    My suggestion, which echos many others in the last two years, as a "quick fix".

    Not perfect.

    Does not require a lengthy design/development or testing phase.

    (The logic/code already exists to check player threat)

     

    A quick fix to plug a finger in the dam that would probably help alleviate/minimize one huge issue that plagues new player retention.

    Without over simplifying the development effort, as many have mentioned quite a few times over the past year or two,

    it would seem that either disabling a Gold player to join a mission or kicking them back to lobby when in a Bronze district,

    might provide the biggest bang for the buck for an intermediate solution until a matchmaking/phasing overhaul is provided.

     

    I mean, the code already exist that checks a players threat level before entering a district.

    Ergo, Gold players cannot join Bronze districts.

     

    All they would need to do in Bronze districts is after each mission, check the threat level of all mission participants,

    and if they're Gold, either kick them to the lobby, or disable the ability to join any other missions.

     

    There has been no mention that I have seen, of a timeline/roadmap regarding a matchmaking/phasing overhaul.

    A significant effort I'll guess, considering the design, development and testing involved.

    But I would conservatively guess that we won't see this for at least a year or more.

     

    I realize that their development team is probably stretched pretty thin,

    but @MattScott should consider this interim solution to alleviate/minimize issues with new player retention.

     

    Matt Scott, thoughts ?

    Appearing to be gold and being gold are two completely different things. One won't find a gold player in a bronze district, whoever you are facing in those districts is just a mediocre silver at best, regardless of their threat color. 

    I think what you are trying to say, is that no self respecting True Gold(™) would ever dethreat.

    It's kind of like a code of honor thing with True Golds(™).    lol

    My apologies.

     

    My experience with Online Translators has been a mixed bag.

    idk if thats true or not but you could run the same scripts with various built in mouse software, so idk if that counts or not lol

    As a former developer myself, I have looked at some AHK & Autoit scripts.

    Pretty damn impressive what you can do.

     

    I messed around a bit with Logitech scripts in the past, not sure if the scripting software that comes bundled with Gaming Mice today,

    are on par with AHK & Autoit.

     

    But yes...

    You make a great point with regards to other "Scripting" utilities.

     

    Should it be allowed ?

    How does a Gaming Co. restrict 3rd party applications (scripting utilities) in usage of their software ?

    (Edit: 3rd party applications is too broad)

     

    Many of us are still waiting for an answer.

     

  23. Posted · Edited by Westford

    Well, the word is out, on some unknown public cheat website, that this iteration of EAC implementation does not kick (detect ?) AHK.

    Given that news, it would be fair to assume that any "Auto-click", "Trigger-Bot", "Reduced-Recoil", etc ,,, would be fully functional.

     

    Good news for some.

    Not so good news for others.

     

    But why ?

    In a 10 year old game ?

    Seriously... ?

     

    Oh well.

    finally got around to making a semi-proper write up unnecessarily detailed list about riot, altho i probably could have just reposted my otw test feedback and it would still be 95% relevant 

    -some images taken from streams, because i was too lazy to get my own footage and now jericho riot is a ghost town

     

    this is going to be long and boring tbh, you've been warned

    /snip

    I thought this was a great write up.

    Very detailed..., walked us through the whole process.

     

    I have not played RIOT yet, but your synopsis gave me a detailed view into this gameplay.

    The RIOT mechanics, as I understand it, is a bit confusing, not intuitive.

    I think @SilverCrow had made a similar analogy.

     

     

    Appreciate the time and effort you put into this,
