I think you redefined the definition of insanity.

I think a better question is, what could a player have done to warrant a 2 year trade ban, and not a permanent trade ban? It doesn't make sense to issue temporary bans for confirmed behavior. To be fair, I'm bias against the trade lock system due to it blocking me from trading. I rarely trade, but when I want to, I can't for multiple days. Ff anything about you changes, you're trade locked. Here's the list of things that have triggered trade locks for myself. - OS related updates - Addition RAM - Public IP Address change - Installed another internal storage device - Plugged in an external USB storage device - Logged in on a different PC Besides, it used to be non functional on the first time login. It still might be this way. I could trade, sign out and sign in later in the day, now I can't trade. If someone stole your account, they can send everything to another account as long as they don't switch characters or relog.

You can't blame people for editing the configs when Little Orbit tell you to modify them. These options should have been added in-game. Also, if you're only getting 60fps in fightclub, it's something else that's wrong, not APB. I've had my CPU and GPU clocks drop to their lower speeds because APB didn't put enough consistent load on them. This caused abnormally low fps. No-recoil config does not exist. Players that say that are stupid or trolling. I've seen people claim the 4:3, 1:1, or other aspect ratios reduce recoil, but all they do is distort the fov to make objects look further away, thus tricking you into moving closer. Crosshair size scales with resolution. High resolution has smaller crosshair, which can make you miss shots because you see the player's character touching both sides, but your shot misses because the bloom is bigger than the crosshair. There's a trench coat? Didn't know that, that's how few female characters wear it. The lack of hairstyles is weird. They're not doing realtime physics with it, so I don't see why they didn't add some more early on.

Wait, there's another inventory system on top of the existing ones? Can we at least re-retrieve purchased items from Armas? There's not enough inventory space to keep every weapon variant.

That sounds way over complicated. I'd add a title textbox to the character UI and have it unlocked for the winners. Then later on it can be added to Armas in some stupid high priced pack.

Ikr? If they're adding new HUD elements, they should include options to remove them. Then again, they refuse to add the fps limit in-game. They tell you to edit configs, then get mad when players edit configs.

I'm guessing it's upload packet loss or jitter. Not enough to affect switching shoulders, but enough to screw up the lag compensation. You can't really troubleshoot it. The in-game /fps diagnostic does not show upload packet loss, only download. Download is usually perfect when measured with wireshark, as in each packet is 33ms apart, the same as the server tickrate. I'm still leaning on it being DDoS protection messing up normal traffic. Another thing that makes me think it's the DDoS protection, is that the server usually crashes when my hitreg was too good. I haven't played recently, so idk if it's still the case but it sounds like it's still the same going by posts on here and on discord.

Can you math out the rest of the playerbase? I doubt they make enough from APB alone to pay their staff. I can't think of another reason to not ban cheaters, at least not one that makes sense business wise. Then again, this company threw away premium subscriptions to virtue signal, maybe they are that economically illiterate.

The cheaters out themselves by posting their gameplay on Youtube and Twitch. I guess these accounts are LO's main source of income, otherwise they would remove them from the game. Who would want their game to look like that when people search for it on Twitch and Youtube?

80 bare metal servers? For what?

GMs are just other players with a sliver of moderator power. The most they can do is kick the player, but then the player can immediately rejoin the district. They're useless at best.

I question how most people manage to download and install games unassisted.

Ratio wise, PUBG has more cheaters, yet it still holds onto it's playerbase. Few people play APB because they can't just hop in and play. There's too much grinding to get to a point to where you're able to play. Casuals can't customize because they can't unlock customization, because LO still haven't fixed the random mission rewards being blocked by joker tickets. They can purchase a $100+ bundle on Armas, but that doesn't unlock some clothing that's locked behind faction members. Competitive players can't reach their true potential without grinding 1000s of hours. Purchasing the weapons isn't enough. You need in-game cash to buy mods. Each balance patch is a gamble if your favorite weapon gets buffed or nerfed. Same is true with PUBG, but at least you can grab any weapon off the ground. You don't need to have it unlocked first. The above is true if there are even new players trying the game. Most streamers play at low resolution with modified files. Some openly cheat and pretend it's the aspect ratio. Who's going to see that and think it looks fun to play? Myself removes the color filtering just to make it bearable to look at. Everything has this weird blue tint. It's like whoever did the last shader changes has Tritanopes, a form of colorblindness that can't perceive blue. Or maybe they just never been outside, and think sunlight = orange, and night = blue.

I know you can't help it, but try not to get worked up about it. Play another game when the servers are randomly offline again, or do something else you enjoy.

The community discord server is anything but a community. I left within 30s of joining. You're not missing anything important.
