Thanks so much for the detailed answer, which cleared up to me the background to the questions you have to the community about this as well as give insight to the whole process, which made me even more impressed than I was, especially seeing how you didn't have any knowledge of 3D modeling software before this, meaning you've learned so much along the way as you stuck to it and just continued working on it. I love that. I'm not often impressed by people in this community, but this is something else. I hope that you'll be given all the recognition you deserve and the help/support you need.

I have a question for you actually. I'm curious what your initial motivation and goal was with making this impressive new district layout and if it has changed or been redirected along the way?

Some FC and putting themes on the marketplace. Almost completely out of habit, like brushing my teeth or something

Too much bull going on so I've informed about a few things they can add to the detection list. Happy sweats.

The reverse psychology worked - on me.

It's nice that some people here can explain some things. I'll just add the only thing I sort of agree on in the OP and that is: "More cheaters with BE" ... (or, easier to spot with this type of anti cheat system). Now, that part is not going away, however off mark the post is in general.

There was always something weird about how G1 made enough from APB.

Respect: 100/100 Insanely impressive!

It's low enough that they decided to sell the name rights for APB to get enough money to continue developing it. That means the population is low enough that if it'd continue in its current state (not even taking into account the continuous loss of players) there wouldn't be enough money to keep going with the engine upgrade. That is bad, unfortunately.

how low does the off-hours count have to be for it to be considered a low population regardless?

Don't say stuff like that because you'll be labeled "toxic" by those who feel you're insinuating they they are part of the problem and they'll freeze you out from having any say in anything You become the problem

1) You're not doing enough mental gymnastics to understand those numbers are actually not that bad, as the most experienced and long time, top players (and therefore the ones who knows best) will surely tell you. 2) The engine update is going to also replace all the people making bad decisions. 3) The engine update will also suddenly fix all the things that makes new players leave. Because nothing is how it actually is.

Concerned about the population of APB? Then you're just looking at it wrong, as the APB experts together with the masterminds behind RIOT can inform you. You're just wrong. See, 240 is an okay number for 5 am since at daytime it goes up to insane numbers.

Google is your friend buddy. It'd be cool if it was made a feature in some way or another. It fills so many typical APB checkmarks: Exploit? - Check Kinda secret? - Check People ask "can I get banned for this?" - Check Not allowed on paper since it's technically an exploit, but there's no way you'll really get in trouble for it? - Check

Hey it's not me, it's Yoda

I didn't say nobody complained and I didn't say it shouldn't be nerfed. That's why I said "players wasn't really" complaining and said it was "over-nerfed".

hey man!

If the DMR AV was actually worth equipping just to unequip 3 minutes later, I think the nerf would make much more sense. One or a couple of wrong buffs or nerfs that tips the scale too much and other things are therefore also nerfed or buffed to counter that. Result: 3 guns over-nerfed (varying degrees) that players wasn't really complaining about.

and one more thing.... The P5 in fightclub is equally useless in mission as in flightclub districts, so can you please remove that there as well? Merged. Do you remember when LO said they would remove Baylan? Enough people complained that they decided to keep it.

We don't even know what the actual reason for the kick is so you can't say it detected a legit nor non legit program-

I'm using synapse 3 for my Razer Basilisk. The macro module is installed but I haven't tried using it in APB. No kicks. I don't understand the dislikes on your post.

I don't know how to put this without anyone taking offense, because it isn't meant that way... But several of the same people dealing with balancing is the same with LO as with G1, since those are partly SPCT. What they should have done in terms of hard damage/vehicle HP was: - buff some of the car HP in the way they did. Good. - not lower any car HP of the other vehicles. - lower the ISSR-B hard damage a little bit. - lower explosion radius instead of damage on the Volcano (solves 2 problems with 1 stone). Because they decreased some car HP, they weighted the balancing scale too much on one side: - they then needed to extend the nerfs to include the SWARM. - 4x4 became too weak, resulting in Osmaw killing it in 1 hit. If the 4x4 has too good speed, handing etc, then deal with the problems where they come from and don't let it bleed over into a type of punishment nerf in an unrelated field (HP). - they lowered ISSR-A hard damage without improving any of its other features which made a bad gun even worse. That's what's wrong with the patch.

If someone gets mad at what weapons/mods/tactics you use, tell them to take it up with the ones in charge of balancing the game.

A decent dude will not feel the need to go all out against very easy opposition

I see what you mean. I wish the DMR was a much quicker equip so that it could be utilized better.
