Stop pressing K. They can't shoot you if they're not opposition.

Due to server lag it makes the HVR deal 23 damage even when the crosshair is fully closed. That shotgun change was stupid af. If they wanted them to deal closer to their max damage, tighten the spread and increase the minimum damage range for less drastic damage dropoff.

Have you tried stepping away from your burning vehicle?

I remember Little Orbit adding the trade system. That alone put LO ahead of G1. Seeing all the weird bugs pop up when a new feature gets added, I understand why LO don't want to make too many changes. I still don't get the weapon balance changes. They're too drastic. I guess due to the lack of in game experience they're not able to make rational changes. It doesn't help that the majority of players are below gold threat. They have a lot of data that doesn't show the weapons real potential, like when G1 compared average ttk and added the stupid bloom curve to the N-TEC.

Another issue with the matchmaking is groups can disable alliance for open missions. This splits players into multiple 2v2/3v3 instead of mixing and matching. Gold threat doesn't mean anything. You can be a new player with a couple of lucky wins and get gold. That won't fix anything. Matchmaking doesn't use the color system. It uses a hidden value that your color is based on. Adding another color won't change that.

Lets remove it, then we watch as players vehicles get stuck in each other when the mission ends.

That makes me wonder. Does APB have limited login attempts? If not it could be people brute forcing passwords.

The majority of the SPCT are silver/bronze players. There's one who may have cheated years ago, but their skill level is so low they can't tell the difference between cheaters and average golds.

Call me Blat Man because I've been gold since 2011. In fact, lets change it.

Don't worry Meaty. One day you'll be a real gold.

I can't confirm if it's allowed, but I have used NinjaRipper recently without issues. The latest version of NinjaRipper does not work. You need version 1.5 or older. These can be found through Archive.org. All the old mediafire links listed in Archive.org should still work. If not, I can upload them if need be. Here's the links from Archive.org https://web.archive.org/web/20150216014041/https://cgig.ru/ninjaripper/ 1.1.5: http://www.mediafire.com/download/vo623opawbv0ta3/ninjaripper1.1.5.zip 1.2.7b: http://www.mediafire.com/download/dfv1lbtgko2eejg/ninjaripper1.2.7b.7z 1.3.1b: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1u197fs5zaxeazq/ninjaripper1.3.1b.7z 1.5.0: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6q7lk1zmglys88v/ninjaripper1.5.0.7z 1.5.2: http://www.mediafire.com/download/zkbcm0r2r3tbmxc/ninjaripper1.5.2.7z

A rapid fire macro can fix ghost shots if you tap fire semi-auto weapons. It sends multiple clicks so if you ghost shot, the next few rapid shots will fire the real shot. Rather than banning macros, they need to reduce the need for them. The servers need to run at a stable tickrate, and there needs to be action queuing for shooting. It only needs to be 10ms or so, just enough to fix the desync between client and server. These anticheat companies block you from playing if you have a Bloody mouse, but they allow every other gaming mouse with hardware level macro support. I don't want them blocking any mice, because it's stupid easy to get around with a custom driver. They're only blocking legit players who won't use such a workaround.

Tagger is stupid OP. Change it to display when your nametag is displayed. Then it functions as a call out rather than a wallhack.

For competitive gameplay, I would limit your fps to 121. This will prevent the character sliding bug. When APB drops to 50fps, it's not a smooth 50. It's more like 50 frames, freeze, 50, freeze, etc. It also happens when the garbage collection kicks in. Limiting your fps won't fix that. MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision, and many other branded software is built on Rivatuner. You won't get banned using it. It's used by a lot of content creators to add overlays in games.

There are 3 or 4 blatant cheaters on NA, although I'm not sure if all of them cheat or if they share accounts. LO don't care, or more likely, their support staff ignore all reports due to the lower skill players reporting everyone. It's near impossible to get evidence of someone cheating without recording the cheaters perspective, but when they live stream on twitch with an aimbot and nothing happens for years I doubt LO give a damn.

I see you still can't read.

I know of 2 on NA, only because they're dumb enough to post clips of themselves aimbotting.

Clarification. It was 2 veteran golds who have been around as long as I have. None of us have Kind of a big deal unlocked due to being gold for so long. Maybe their threat dropped low enough to not trigger it, but I'm leaning on it being broken, at least for that mission.

Was backup disabled? There's no backup option in a 2v2, 2 veteran golds vs 1 gold 1 silver.

TLDR, GDDR6 doesn't work properly with 32bit applications. APB is 32bit. Engine upgrade is 64bit. Everything after this is my opinion. GPU manufacturers should be responsible for fixing the problem. They created it. If car manufacturers sold a car that can't drive on normal roads, they would be held accountable for releasing a lemon. Same should apply to all technology.

The N-TEC 5 always had a low skill ceiling. Back in beta you just had to tap fire for range, or spray up close. You didn't need good timing either because there was no bloom curve. Current N-TEC5 requires shooting it in 3-4 round bursts at range, or spray up close. If you chose to rely on randomness to win a fight, it's your fault if you lose.

The OCA and PMG fully recover bloom between shots. There's no reason to tap fire them, unless you can't aim while shooting.

I don't get why they bothered with rayscaling. I guess they needed to use their stupid curve algorithm again. I would tighten spread and reduced damage slightly. If that wasn't consistent enough, increase minimum damage percentage or increased minimum damage range. Good aim up close would always be a 2 shot kill, while bad aim and mid range will require more.

It's the servers, not their internet. With 20ms on NA east I see the same thing from the time to time. Running /latencytest in game shows the server's tickrate constantly spiking over 200ms, with many smaller spikes over 50ms.

They reduced the NFAS damage so if a few pellets miss it becomes 4 shots instead of 3. They also reverted the damage scaling buff, which made the nfas more consistent. You can check out all the differences between old.apbdb.com and apbdb.com. JG - Increased damage, Increased spread, Increased rate of fire, Decreased range. CSG - Increased damage, Decreased range. NFAS - Decreased damage. Increased rate of fire. http://old.apbdb.com/items/Weapon_Shotgun_JG/ http://old.apbdb.com/items/Weapon_Shotgun_CSG_Joker/ http://old.apbdb.com/items/Weapon_Shotgun_NFAS/ https://apbdb.com/items/Weapon_Shotgun_JG https://apbdb.com/items/Weapon_Shotgun_CSG_Joker https://apbdb.com/items/Weapon_Shotgun_NFAS
