  1. can break the whole game, imagine you're attacking the point inside a building and someone spamming the molotov and resupply it by ammo box or joker vending

    Yeah, and it helped ruin it, lol. Would be great for APB though until its numbers aren't so low.

    Even with the current pop it will be much better than sticking to 40v40 instances. New players don’t know at all about advanced tab, so there’s high chance they will be moved in a silver district full of high end golds. It’s terrible for both sides. Golds will not get a proper match or keep sitting on missions without opponents and new players will get stomped hardly if the system decides to match them with vets. Phasing should be a top priority after engine upgrade

    yea ill believe when i see that

    I don't think that it's a difficult technology to implement, many open world games have it for over 10 years. For example World Of Warcraft has it since Cataclysm as I remember correctly. You can meet players from different servers in outdoor, also invite them in your group without any loading

    soo..our current threat/matchmaking will have anything to do with phasing?or phasing is just for gettin player to populated district..

    edit: oh ok "matchmake across distances" so our current matchmake will be changed ok got it.Actually i knew that but got confused here(english not my native: d)

    phasing is for better matchmaking. For example. You're in financial en1, there're no any equal skill level players to match with you in your district, but, in financial en2 there're players with the same skill level. Depends on districts population you or your opponents will be moved in your or their district without any loading

    I have ideas but they ain't realistic for LO.

     

    minor changes to the game is what they could only do.

     

    No event or weapon balance will make people to re download and play again. New players seem to be non-existence they are highly going to uninstall due to population not allowing them to progress any further or simple not having fun due to them being farm by existing veterans.

     

    A new player starting this year will not be able to hit max rank on NA the grind is so hideous they won't even bother.

    I agree there’re tones of minor changes or QoL changes LO can do on the current engine but I do believe it won’t change a lot and population won’t comeback. 

    Instead of repeating the same words on forums again and again, I would just wait until they release a new engine or when the game dies completely. Nothing really we can do here

    NA population was going to die in the future anyways it was going to happen, whereas EU will probably last for a while, they don't care as long as there's players playing. How many servers the population had died already? Colby NA west, HAN (asia + Oceania) , Hoplon (brazilian server) all merge to create Jericho.  If you want to play on a populated server, you need to create a new character for that server again. Which most of these players did in the past before the merge. 

     

    The truth is EU will be the only server that is going to be populated regardless if they do a world merge. they just feed existing players onto that server which only benefits the EU players to increase it's population more. Just like how HAN and hoplon was feed into NA , so they could play on high latency with better population though it was unplayable against Americans and most of them uninstalled.


    dead game with no future growth on other region, even if they add in region distinct servers. 

     

    you won't be seeing those 700+ asia player or at least 100 Oceania players base or those old NA players coming back. 

     

     

    Would you like LO to release the last build from the open beta with the all its flaws. Or would you like them to move some development resources to dance with the current crutches in the code to make another clunky event or a new weapon that will be op af that eventually will get nerfed into hell. 

    Also, do you have any suggestions how to bring players to NA right now?

    Nope. It's a company problem, not a community problem. The community is in no way responsible for the extreme low amount of cheaters getting banned. If a company is not willing to handle any proper anti cheat measurements then a large chunk of the community walks away from the game and that's exactely what is (and was) happening in APB. When people walk away less money will be spent, it's not rocket science but for some reason some developers and/or publishers (uhm...) don't get that.

    There’re very low amount of closets in all games, companies can’t get rid of cheating completely unless OS will be restricted to work with memory like on consoles. It’s not really a big problem, either in apb, I don’t see closets for long time, but it’s probably due to low pop. But cheating is still a problem in apb. If they can’t ban a player who plays full hvh mode for weeks, imagine what would be if the game had high pop

    We used to say that we're okay with ragehackers because they got caught relatively quickly but now it seems that even they can get away with anything as long as they don't stream and their injection doesn't get detected by the anti-cheat. APB is lucky to still have any players at all in the past few years and rampant cheaters among the last few players that play is only making matters tenfold worse. If they can't catch a ragehacker then they'll never be able to catch a semi-experienced closet of any description. This is unacceptable.

    Exactly, that Russian streamer with rage hack stopped streaming and already 140+ rank playing for two weeks. It’s just a disaster 

     

    Merged.

    I stopped reading after 'I’m okay with closets or macro users living forever'.

    I mean, Every game has a problem with closets. It’s just a thing we have to deal with. But when rage hackers get banned in 5 hours of one session only if they stream, it’s stupid, especially with the current pop in game. Without stream that Russian guy playing on one acc for two weeks already, using everything except speedhack

    • Thanks 1

  9. I’m okay with closets or macro users living forever but when a guy with full package 360 degrees aimbot and minttk at every effective range of the weapon he’s using playing for weeks it’s dumb. There’s no any game where ragebot can play longer than one day

    I personally like higher overall TTK with accurate weapons but I made the sheet about the current balance/meta anyway:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MmOqZR9A_nK-tOITFZIhoW1OV0xID-tGjA7BBrIMGkM/edit?usp=sharing

     

    Left some weapons empty because I never bothered with them or haven't used it after last changes.

     

    Opinions about secondaries and some shotguns are probably unpopular but whatever 😎

     

    Also can't be bothered to write in-depth statistical changes because I think this is for Little Orbit to do. Community has no way to test the stats to make sure the proposed changes make sense and do what it is supposed to do. Opinions should be enough for Little Orbit to do their job.

    Shotguns indeed need to have slower ttk than smg but 0.8 is too much, 0.73-0.75 is good if oca will be 0.7. CSG should have the same ttk as jg but lower dmg with more accuracy and longer range


  11. I just remember the similar topics where ppl were saying to rework balance in 2018. Also, I don’t understand why you’re talking about bloom except if you’re mainly playing ntec, but again ntec is still the strongest metA

    Keep buffing underpowered guns like the Norsemen series, similar to what you did to the Tommy Gun not long ago. The Tommy Gun had suffered for years, and now it's finally seeing some proper use due to the insane recoil being cut in half.

     

    Keep releasing new legendaries, cars or JT guns. They don't even have to be completely new guns, maybe just reskins or new gun/mod combinations

    You want them somehow to balance useless weapons the game already has and also add a new one. That’s insanity. We can’t even get a proper balance among meta weapons due to the game being overfilled with weapons. At this point adding a new weapon is like reinventing the wheel 


  13. Due to the fact that the vehicle speed is so low, it will be so easily to track and kill enemy in the car. It will just cause a lot of unbalance especially on missions where you have to deliver a car. RTW could easily add that feature during developing but they didn't due to balance issues. In my opinion the best way either deal with it as a game feature like bhopping in source games or if the car entrance is blocked instead of instantly getting in the car it will wait for the same time as you normally gets in

    the biggest issue with fairfight is that it doesn't actually stop anyone from cheating - statistics are cool and they might work really well but you can't get statistics without letting people play, unfortunately that includes cheaters too

     

     

    The problem with it was that there was no client side anticheat, you could go in any cheat forum to download free injectable cheat and move on till you get banned. If apb was a bit more popular, it would accumulate the amount of cheat coding scene with some crazy functions like hvh scene in csgo. The only one that had some crazy things was epicgoat. Speedhack, hitting any shot without even aiming at the target, changing the size of the character to make it bigger than the building in financial(it was client side but still fun) and many other things. The last funny thing was a fake ff ban. He used that to kick you out from the district and your name would appear in the chat in fairfight notification.

    that was lo biggest mistake to release all cheaters!!!!!!

     

    they called it 2nd chance.

    There was a lot of fake bans, although nowadays there're much less closets and ragebots than it was during ff, read my post above

    Personally, the many cheaters have become irrelevant.

     

    But if lo wants to do something about it .

     

    Go back to Fairfight this anticheat bans according to statistics.

     

    Will always have been the best anti cheat for me.

    Matt confirmed that huge amount of bans by fairfight were false. One guy got ff by typing in social district something about Tiggs, one 255r silver got banned while logging in the game just to make some symbols. Also showing in public the names of banned people accumulated a huge toxicity among already toxic apb community

    true.. cracked cheats makes them publick

    bro, it seems you don't understand what I'm saying, you're not very got into that situation. On your picture is a site where you can buy private cheat, look at the first post on that site and click on the menu of cheat to buy it. 

    Just now, EMilika said:

    Omg no way how do you know? are you the user?

    I just found out it the same way as you by googling

    just google apb cheats. and inspect them and block theyrs files or script .... devs come on.

    It seems you're not very aware of the current state of cheats in the game, you can't just google and download free cheats. Free cheats in apb don't work since BE was introduced and there're no any one except free ahk triggerbot scripts that usually makes you banned in 5mins. I'm talking about private cheats.
