  1. He acts as if it's an industry wide problem as to why his company is failing. I guess he's right in a way, since he repeats the same mistakes as some other companies in the industry. I don't think it's malice, I think he can't think for himself, and associates with similar like minded, or lack of a mind, people.
  2. Tinfoil hat theory: Most bans are not false, LO don't have the balls to ban streamers and long term players for blatantly cheating, so they're lifting bans since a few got caught. More realist theory: LO configured EAC wrong, because they're incompetent. It doesn't detect blatant cheaters, which looks like they're favoring cheaters, but they're really just too incompetent to do anything productive.
  3. There's nothing under "Known Issues" about players not being able to unlock primitives at a normal rate. Currently it's near impossible to unlock primitives if you win missions. This is due to the addition of Joker tickets and consumable rewards. The new matchmaking system makes it impossible to get unopposed missions, so now it's impossible to unlock primitives during low pop hours, which is 24/7 nowadays. Customization is the only thing APB has going for it, but new players can't access it.
  4. I get the infinite loading screen when trying to use my mobile phone for internet. I think it's a double NAT or CGNAT issue. One of my friends had the same issue when they would use their WiFi instead of a hardwire. I think it was because their WiFi access point was acting as a second router, or in other words causing the double NAT issue. Never got a confirmation from them since they moved a few times and changed ISPs.
  5. Thank you for the clarification. I still put blame on LO for using an unsupported version for so long. EAC shouldn't be handing out bans if the version is old either. I expect better fail safes from them.
  6. Little Orbit is getting rid of EAC. They can't even manage an anti-cheat that basically runs itself.
  7. More like injecting their own insecurities about customized content, claiming it's LO's position, even though no one from LO cares enough to comment.
  8. I'm a text guy, can't focus on long format talkshows. What else did I miss? 1. Is there going to be another anti-cheat? I feel like the EAC failure is not EAC's fault, but the way LO implemented it. For example, EAC blocks DXVK on Windows, but it works in Linux. That doesn't make sense. 2. From the customer perspective, the only issue I saw with the support portal is lack of clarity to what info is needed for the ticket. It was 1 giant form with every question customer support might need. The info text boxes should have been broken down, based on what type of support is needed. But, the layout wasn't an issue. If they added a tip stating "include relevant info", that would be good enough. No need to redesign it. 3. Revert to old system. There is no point in fine tuning matchmaking if the pop is too low to utilize it. 4. Which means new matchmaking will continue to produce poor results. I'm against removing factions, but there not enough players to refine the threat based matchmaking. 5. NO, DON'T PROMOTE THE GAME IN ITS CURRENT STATE. Ban cheaters who post on Youtube and Twitch. Disable super low resolution textures so the game doesn't look like poo on Youtube and Twitch. Fix the Mirage LOD model and textures, so the new content doesn't look like poo for returning players. Then maybe LO can focus on promotions. Don't use any streamers who play with stretched resolution, custom configs, or other modifications to the game's UI.
  9. Duh, this new matchmaking isn't going to work with a pop of 40. That's why it should have never been implemented. It takes longer to find missions, and the missions are less balanced since the teams' player count is even. What's the point of waiting longer? Just go with the matchmaking that Open Conflict used. Threat balance doesn't matter as much when you can instantly get a mission after mission.
  10. They seemed pretty confident that this new match making system was ready, despite it clearly not working.
  11. I wouldn't announce firing staff, out of respect for privacy. This should have happened years ago. It's obvious this developer doesn't test things before releasing. Then again, it's possible LO kept switching their job duties so they could never get anything 100% completed.
  12. I think Matt has been working as an electrician. https://old.reddit.com/r/electricians/comments/1bq1r9d/we_dont_like_matt/
  13. Just add 205.220.228.0/24 as the firewall rule. Don't bother with individual IPs. Disable the rule when not playing APB. For US servers, it's 205.220.229.0/24
  14. The 64-bit upgrade made it run better, but yes they don't care about fixing the bugs they added. SLR firing sound still crackles.
  15. Does that mean a cracked egg is someone who just hatched? Does it mean they hatched too early? Does it mean they were born with other issues? There's so many offensive insults. Time to call my friends cracked eggs!
  16. TBF towards Little Orbit, OP is just discussing a comment from a volunteer GM, not an official Little Orbit employee. If everything they say is to be taken seriously, using a keyboard and the mouse wheel is not allowed. For reference: https://i.imgur.com/OZjFd5U.png Here's some more fuel.
  17. PUBG doesn't do much more. You can click "No" on the Wellbia anti-cheat installer and PUBG runs without issues. The devs refuse to block high latency players, or even attempt to block VPNs. According to Battleye, 99% of the banned accounts are from China. That means those few permanent ban messages I get are only the 1%. Those are just blatant cheaters. I tried playing on the Asian servers. There were at least 2 squads blatantly cheating, like camping a tall hill and head shotting everyone in line of site 500+ meters away. At least they can't punch people out of the plane anymore.
  18. They have multiple websites. They should be posting all of their product updates on their websites. I just makes sense. Why pay for web hosting if they're not going to use it? Not everyone has discord, and not everyone wants to join a random server where they can be tracked. I'm not even talking about selling data, I mean other random discord users stalking people, being annoying.
  19. PUBG is a piss poor example. On average I spot 2 cheaters per match when looking at the replay. I get multiple temp ban notifications each time I sign in. Rarely do I see permanent bans. There's also plenty of cases of streamers getting temp banned for mass reports.
  20. In all seriousness, how many people even see other people's customization? I feel like I'm the only one who still plays at native resolution with maximum quality textures.
  21. And then when you get hard opp you'll be the one going afk.
  22. 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.
