Every argument of yours is a false equivalence. There are also white people in the A-Team and it isn't a political slogan or symbol rooted in hate, it's a fictional TV show. Inb4 "so is The Dukes of Hazzard" but the confederate symbol has long existed before it and holds a completely different meaning. Your long form whining isn't going to change anything. So you're either wilfully stupid or too ignorant to know any better.
2 hours ago, CrackSmack said:I find your avatar slightly offensive, since it holds a letter K as in KKK. ban plz
Another false equivalence. By that logic the A-Team shouldn't be allowed either because the letter A can represent any historical atrocity. Maybe instead of making absurd arguments and trying to grasp at straws you could just stop talking?

IF THE EULA SAYS THE COMPANY CAN BARGE THROUGH MY DOOR AND BANG MY WIFE THEN SO IT SHALL BE! THEMS THE RULES NOW AFTERALL..
tell me, how does that corporate boot taste?
I knew you'd made some stupid fucking remark. Where is the comparison between agreeing to follow the rules and whatever the hell you just said? You're not obligated to be here. This is not as complicated as you're making it.
Anything that you own is bound by a contract. That doesn't make what I am saying licking the boot. Like I said, If you don't want to follow the rules you AGREED to when you signed then just leave.

And then it actually holds up in some cases purely because you unwittingly accepted the EULA which changes at whim, expecting the company to have any shred of morals
You just know LO would up to the same shenanigans if they'd be as successful lol
What you are describing here and what is actually happening is not a digital extreme. You don't HAVE to put a confederate flag or any symbol for that matter on your in game character or clothing to play this game. Many people do not. That has nothing to do with tricking players or taking things by deception. You're not following your own logic here.

4 hours ago, BlatMan said:How about they list specifically what is and isn't allowed. I mean an exact list of what they deem offensive. Every flag, every symbol, every word, etc. Without that, no one knows what is and isn't allowed. For me, I'm not offended by anything, so disallowing generic offensive content means nothing to me. If we have to apply that rule to every possible scenario, we'd have to delete cars from the game. I have a friend who freaks out when trying to drive on highways because they nearly died in a car crash as a kid. Cars are the #1 killer of children, at least in the US.
Brain dead fucking take. You're playing on a privately owned game with established rules and guidelines. If they say you can't do something, you just don't do it.
They aren't going to make a list for your personal convenience because they don't owe you a thing. Accept the answer you've been given and stop trying to appeal to vagueness and pretend that there must be something unclear or hypocritical about what they're doing. What about XYZ? What about such and such? What about it lmfao
The confederate flag isn't allowed and it isn't necessary to play here, so if you don't like it, make your own game or go elsewhere.
Also comparing a fear of cars to an established historical atrocity? Come the hell on dude, think clearly.
On 2/21/2024 at 10:48 AM, Gro said:What were you expecting honestly?
LO openly donated to blm rioters. Of course they consider it "offensive".
Cringe. Lots of symbols are banned from the game, there was a player who made a German uniform from WW2 and got his patootie handed to him then threw a tantrum like you are expecting the world to bend in his favour. Again, not anyone's problem.

This isn't cancel culture, are you kidding? You're not being deplatformed, you're being asked not to use a symbol on SOMEONE ELSE'S GAME. What don't you get about the EULA you agreed to before playing?

All you ever do is complain about the game, the mechanics, the staff, the updates and everything about this game.
Why are you even here if you hate it so much?

On 5/27/2023 at 1:24 AM, BlatMan said:It seems like they don't ban people for being toxic. They ban for very specific nonsense. Like that one person who's account was broken due to support trying to remove an offensive symbol. That person seemed to get in an argument every time they signed in. That was fine according to support, but one symbol is where they draw the line.
Support never tell you the outcome of the players you report. That person in question had a long history of being toxic and confrontational and if you see are now permabanned for telling a user to *self harm*.
Merged.
On 5/24/2023 at 2:49 AM, Deadliest said:The thing about customer support it deterrent players to submit a ticket, like why do we need to provide IP address, transaction ID, account registration date, region of registration and characters involve?
For example if I have someone team killing me consistently and have it all on video I should be able to submit ticket select category grief / team killing, add a title write the player’s name and what happen and upload video submit.
not filling in these unnecessary information. LO customer support is not simple
Those fields aren't compulsory. They are there in case your issue is related to a change of location or the ARMAS Marketplace. I was confused when I first saw it until I had realised there was no asterisk.
On 5/25/2023 at 1:48 PM, Shui said:Perm banning players for being toxic is ridiculous and straight up bullshoot.
At the beginning of this thread I posted the Terms of Service and User Agreement. It is pretty clear about the type of behaviour that is tolerated.
On 5/25/2023 at 9:34 PM, Aka2k said:Being toxic or whatever should warrant a chat ban or, at the worst, a temporary ban. I hardly see any hacker getting banned, why someone needs to suffer a perma ban just being an pleasant fellow while way worse people run free in the game? It's a stupid logic.
No, because APB is a business and a negative reputation can deter new players and force current players to flee. Mitigating any legal issues is the baseline of any company that provides a service.
On 5/27/2023 at 12:04 AM, Aka2k said:No, it's not. It's only the start of a spiral of silence where a LO employee decide what's allowed to say and what's not. Chat ban like any other normal game if that's a must. Besides, dealing with a toxic person is easy: use ignore on him if you don't like whatever he's saying. It's even builtin in the game - heck, make the option even more visible.
It often is not just chatting. Toxic players intentionally AFK, mission block, teamkill and disrupt games. Why should anybody who refuses to play the game the way they agree to be allowed to punish others for their own personal upset? You signed the contract, it is legally binding. Just follow the rules.
QuoteLet people say whatever they want, but do punish griefers, scammers, team killers and ban obvious hackers. For years, we all know who the heck is hacking and they don't really do much of an effort to hide themselves - with some very small exceptions. Most of the hackers like to brag and even stream their games, trying to get some dimwit to simp them.
It is not one or the other. Two things can be true at once. Hackers should be banned. Griefers should be banned. Players who are toxic and disrespectful in chat should be banned.
QuoteBanning someone from saying whatever LO consider toxic is the real dangerous behavior here. A LO employee decide what's toxic and just flat out ban someone legit that didn't do anything serious to ruin other people's gaming experience.
Again, no. The user agreement is written in plain text and carefully details what type of language is and isn't acceptable. You have the option of NOT saying things which intend to upset and belittle others, the same way Little Orbit has the option to remove your account if they deem your behaviour a problem.
QuoteIt's ridiculous how talking something "not allowed" is a bigger offense than griefing, team killing and cheating.
Who is claiming this? Little Orbit have been candid about the cheater problem and EAC into the game. I wish people would stop arguing that they are allowing in place of catching easy bans.
QuoteEven World of Tanks, which has a strict chat code, only chat bans people for running their mouth - and, believe it or not, WoT has a way worse community than APB.
This doesn't help your argument about allowing people to say what they want it just shows that more needs to be done.
On 5/27/2023 at 8:29 PM, Aka2k said:Ban people who teabags too. It's toxic as well.
This is a false equivalence. The entire district does not see when you teabag, or even the team or group chat. Often times, the toxicity takes place in the District or Team chat. Everyone participating in your game is now a party to that type of behaviour. Teabagging is just competitive bragging. It doesn't broach into personal insults or griefing.
QuoteStop trying to pretend LO is not overreacting and picking what's right/wrong to say.
It is their game, their company and their property. You signed the contract agreeing to follow their guidelines at the risk of losing your account and access to its features. How could they be wrong about how to license a product they are in control of, when it's to stop misbehaviour?
QuoteBeside, this is not even the point, the point is how exaggerated is to ban someone for running their mouths like it's the worst offense in a game filled with hackers and griefers. Chat ban people like any other normal game, stop this snowflake behavior of banning people because opinions and words.
Your language is your responsibility. It is not the job of others to carry the burden of what you say. This idea that "others need to stop being snowflakes/offended about everything" comes across as you not wanting to take personal responsibility for what you say, or even the consequences of such thing. Be accountable.
QuoteAlso, before you get any ideas, I hardly say anything in the game. And I do use a lot of the ignore function because every type of a-hole that run their mouths - from liberals to brats bragging. I'm fine with the ignore function. Let the big mouths talking to themselves, I don't care as long they are not hacking or running trucks over people playing missions.
That is perfect, but not everyone feels that way. Which is why the admins issue bans to players who cross the line and decide to be unkind. It is nobody's fault but your own if you make the active choice to be rude online to strangers. In turn, it is not Little Orbit's fault if they fulfill a contractual obligation you decided to breach.

5 hours ago, Divait said:I will have to disagree with that sentence because usually I've seen the price of 2 slot weapons was about in 6500 thousand JT while any of 3 slot costs 10000 thousand of JT currency.
ARMAS has weapons for sale where two slots weapons are the same price as three slots.
QuoteAs for compromise - they may leave the actual reskins (Vas, Joker CR5 for example and so on) in the Joker Store and add all new 0 mod weapons to contacts for $ currency.
Since they are reskins would it not be better to put them under the list of skins in weapons?

12 hours ago, Mokoezh said: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.
How do I invest anything?
-
I think they need to adjust the crosshairs to make it clearer when you're on or off target.
-
It's too expensive to acquire legendaries or even good quality weapons.
Put all weapons in the JT Store or weaker variants in contacts.
There's no reason why reskins don't belong in the contact store. Joker CR5, Vas, LCR, FAR. All of these weapons could be in contact store without slots and it would make perfect sense. It at least incentivises a player to spend their cash on new weapons until they can afford a permanent one and bulks out the neverending grind.
The price of things in ARMAS is pretty high too, some things with two slots cost exactly the same as three slots.
Maybe a new premium package is in order?

On 5/20/2023 at 2:34 PM, PingOVER9000 said:exceptional?
Honestly I dont see a lot of difference and find both of them sort of incostitent... not telling they are bad with any red mods installed, just I find both them sort of RNG weapon, one day perform pretty good, the next day, they become a sort of ghost of the day before.
Stat wise, there arent particular difference:
Anyway, STAR 556 is the starter weapon... I think it's sort of right it's just an OK free gun, without nothing exceptional or distinctive...
Making a comparing, what you are asking is like playing an fantasy RPG and tell to the Devs, "" EHI ! it's not right my wooden sticky after levelling up become useless! Make the wooden stick able to upgrade and strong as the legendary sword of the end game""... everybody in the room spent days concepting and designing the sword/ story, I bet they'll have at least the slighty itching to know your house address... and not for good intentions.
The FAR is amazing when tap fired. You can also full auto at close range, but it doesn't solve all of your problems, you still need to hit your opponent and watch your bloom.
The STAR is amazing at close to medium range. You can tap fire at longer distances but it has weaker damage, and up close you can full auto in marksmanship mode to get a consistent kill provided you follow your target well.
However, this is where it starts and stops. When you put mods on a STAR, it becomes ineffective. IR3 makes it bloom to high heaven. HS3 makes it so you have to crouch fire to win battles.
I think a revamp where level 1 and 2 mods make a comeback would be welcome.

10 hours ago, TheMessiah said:i can kill more players with alig than with medusa actually..but dats cause im bad probably
You're not taking on an NTEC at 40m. You're not taking on a Whisper at 20m
You're not taking on a Colby at 10m.
Youre not taking on a NHVR at 60m.
The second you strafe while aiming, you get full bloom. The second you fire more than two bullets at once, you get full bloom. Your recoil knocks your aim off kilter and the fire rate is too slow to manage.
The ALIG is a vehicle killer. There's a reason the SHAW was the hacker favourite for quite some time. It blew up vehicles but it definitely knew how to handle pedestrians.
Buff the strafe modifier, decrease the recoil and make it tap fire friendly. It doesn't have to be a magical weapon. Just make it useful at medium to long range and absolutely useless up close, like most of its contemporaries.
Also, the Medusa is an amazing weapon. You're a sitting duck but at least the weapon has enough damage output for it not to matter.
-
8 hours ago, Hexerin said:How to break the game in one easy step. ALIG absolutely does not need any buffs, it's insanely strong.
It's broken as hell. You just need to give it better accuracy for tap fire and make full auto viable for vehicles at close range. It is very bad at combat.

The ACT 44 is exceptional.
RFP still needs some love accuracy wise.
Buff the ALIG.
Nerf the Colby 45. Fire rate.

1 hour ago, PingOVER9000 said:if you want its upgrade, just get a FAR
The FAR is exceptional and it has an identity. This is the problem with the STAR, that it doesn't improve with modifications and has a ridiculous bloom.
-
It's the perfect gun but it really is outshined by most other weapons and mods break it.
The STAR needs some adjustments to fit the current meta. Its damage and cyclic rate is great but it needs more range and especially needs work to fit the mods without it getting bloomed to hell or wildly inaccurate while hip firing at close range.
-
1 hour ago, SkittyM said:M-1922 is largely fine other than it needs its original recoil back.
It has terrible range and accuracy. The description says you have to fire it from a braced position but that is largely ineffective for what should be an SMG. The only weapons you do that with are the LMGs. It should be something you can hip fire on the move like the rest of the SMGs.
QuoteWhat mods. Its an SMG and has always been considered an SMG.
Why do you have to put such awkward mods on it? Does it use HS3 or RS1? Does it use IR3? It is largely unclear. The weapon design for it is awful. It's a troll weapon.
-
4 hours ago, mojical said:Really liking this patch so far, especially the fact that the ACT doesn't lose accuracy from strafing anymore. While I'd rather have the high FPS sliding bug solved completely at least this makes it have no effect on ACT marksmanship accuracy. I also like that the RFP Talon is finally decent without being overshadowed by the Fang or just bad all around.
Hopefully for the next patch some of the less used primaries will get buffs too. I think the Curse and Tommygun (M-1922) deserve a look. The Curse is overshadowed by the also underused ACES rifle in both range and TTK so I believe they should be at least equal on range, and the Tommygun could get a fire rate increase to get its TTK in line with the VAS-C2/Trouble Maker. The Trouble Maker is much easier to handle than the Tommygun so it makes no sense for it to have more killing power, yet I don't feel like a nerf to the Trouble Maker is justified with the PMG in its current state.
They really need to decide if the Tommy Gun is an SMG or a rifle. The mods for it make little sense.

48 minutes ago, Aka2k said:Why not make it a FBW upgrade? What's the sin on it? I mean, it costs time to grind the JTs to buy it. It would only be fair to make it worth the time spent.
Frog should be what the colby is and colby should be what the RSA is.
-
1 hour ago, SkittyM said:The current state of the fr0g puts it at 15m, that's sorta what the damage buff and range buff were about. The biggest issue with the fr0g is that its literally a better FBW but minus the range/mag size. We tested a flat 20m upgrade and it was basically an FBW replacement. The current version is better but obviously not what people (or some of us in SPCT) want but, we can't also make the gun an FBW upgrade.
I'd actually like a more properly versatile FR0G that's somewhere with the FBW and 45 AP but that requires doing more with the gun than a simple range buff. Changing the FBW is sort of an option but its a perfectly fine gun, so why change it really.
The Colby is still too powerful for what it is. Range isn't an issue so much as the rate of fire and quick reload.

2 hours ago, glaciers said:preset guns should never be sold for real money, primary or secondary
presets are kind of a trap for new players (lets pretend they exist for a second) or inexperienced players looking to spend money - the lower price and access to level 3 mods are pretty good lures but presets usually do not have optimal mods, and modification and/or weapon balance is subject to change and render presets worthless
presets also lead to stupid situations like the rfp, where people whining about "paying real money" for a preset stopped orbit from doing the easy balance move of removing ir3 and instead they ended up nuking the rfp as a whole, over a single preset variant
this has been happening for years, all the way back to g1, and it’s probably not going to stop anytime soon seeing as how weapon balance changes are getting more frequent lately
This makes much more sense. I rescind my comment.

What flag does LO consider political?

Posted
"A lot of black people (that I just made up) liked the Dukes of Hazzard so the Confederate Flag doesn't matter anymore," Is historical revisionism.
Nice touch on the use of the word "woke". Pro-tip, if you're criticising something about black people, calling the people who dislike it "the woke" is probably a good way to unmask yourself.
