The way the threat system currently works is it does not count missions you are disconnected from or score below a certain threshold (100 points?). Those missions players choose to leave would end up not counting. Their threat would get inflated overtime due to them playing only missions that are easy wins. If quitting counted against your threat, you could exploit that by dethreating.

It can't just be coincidence that the legendary shotgun is better than all other shotguns in game.

These players will not ask to surrender, they will intentionally waste the other teams time. They'll brag about how easy a win was while fighting new players, then they'll go afk the moment they get experienced opposition. I don't see new players and low threats going afk, it's always max rank, max threat, veteran players. You want to screw up matching making even more? Allowing players to choose which missions they play is a great way to do that.

You should be charged in game cash and lose progression for doing so. Do it too many times and your account gets deleted. These people do more harm than good to keep the community active. They purposely throw missions when they get a new player on their team, and constantly spam support with false cheat reports. If name and shame was allowed I would have a 100 page thread of these players.

This area above the church in the Financial district is out of bounds. The out of bounds area extends too far over the stairs. Here's an example of a player getting teleported back to spawn.

My suggestion is to delete their accounts since they're just wasting server space, but I know LO would lose money since those types tend to be the whales of the community.

You mean the district where all the dethreaters are?

It forces new players to learn the guns by playing missions against max rank clans. It's fight club, where everyone is just there the shoot stuff, it shouldn't be restricted.

This shouldn't even exist.

I swear one year it was a permanent unlock from completing a role. I have it permanent on a somewhat recent character and I didn't buy it.

Everything is still stupid expensive. Ok, not everything. One particular item is cheaper and I'm going to take advantage of that. Otherwise, still too expensive. Not saying which item either.

Setting it 1s just means you stutter all the time. Not fun in a full district.

It's just not accurate enough to compete with the OSCAR and ARs. Give it a little better base accuracy or reduce the bloom per shot. I don't think the OSCAR needs a nerf.

It's a balancing setting. Default it's set to 60s. Lowering it reduces the length of the stutter but it happens more often, increasing it causes longer stutters but less often. At some point it has negative effects on both ends. 60 to 120 is what I would recommend. Any higher and you run into out of memory errors. Also, there's a max memory limit you can set. By default it's 9.9GB. Setting it lower than 4 will help prevent out of memory errors, but it will cause the game to freeze for 5-10s when the limit is reached. There's some other memory settings but idk if APB uses them or not.

What if we could spawn in enemy mobile spawners?

My research lead me to sticking to Windows 7 as long as drivers still exist, or worst case use LTSB/LTSC since it's the least bloated version of 10. Any other version of 10 you're under MS's mercy with it reinstalling the bloat every single update. Besides, APB itself stutters due to it's own memory leaks and laggy garbage collection system. The only way around that is to disable it which leads to out of memory errors after long playing sessions.

Install bloatware to disable bloatware. How about not installing bloatware to begin with? I'm bouncing off the 144fps limit without any of these snake oil PC fixes.

I'm sorry I killed you with the OSCAR OP. Next time I'll use the STAR 556.

It should also increase the minimum damage drop off range by +5, +10, and +15 meters. Reducing damage will completely negate the tighter spread with the stupid low range on the JG. An increase in minimum damage dropoff would make the damage curve less harsh. You still will require 3-4 hits at 15M, but at least it will be consistent, not all of a sudden jump to 5 hits because the player moved an inch. Automatic shotguns could be adjusted to require 4 hits to kill with the HB mod. They should have left shotguns alone. They weren't unbalanced to begin with. All this balancing really did was make the NFAS better than the other shotguns, but increased the reliable range of SMGs and ARs since shotguns are less of a threat. The 'True Orge' is a bit unbalanced in fight club, but it's fight club, where you're suppose to just beat the crap out of each other senselessly.

It already disables lower tier mission vehicles in 4 hits at 90M, disables all with a whole mag at slightly further range. How much more damage do you want it to have?

System Specs? Here's a list of things to check while in game. RAM usage. VRAM usage. CPU, GPU, and other system temperatures RAM usage can be found in Windows task manager. VRAM usage and temperatures can be found using HWMonitor, or HWiNFO. HWMonitor: https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html HWiNFO: https://www.hwinfo.com/

I cannot remember which district it was. I'll see if my other group members have any more info.

Not sure if this is much help. I wasn't in district, but my other 3 group members were. All of them had their HUD stop working at the same time. I do not remember which district it was. It's possible a server sided event is triggering it.

G1 actually banned dethreaters occasionally? One of the major offenders to dethreating was a mod on the old forums. Their hammer was all over the place. You're not going to get someone banned for taking a poop mid mission. If pooping is a constant issue for that player, they should exit the match so their teammates can call for backup. I would also recommend them moving the PC to the toilet, or the toilet to the PC, whichever is easier.

I'm all for additional language symbols and designs.
