Speaking like a true cheater who defends their own agenda. It's pretty obvious from the past that even perma bans couldn't teach most people to stop cheating. So why on earth LO should handle temp bans? Make them reroll and start all over again, make it as unpleasant as possible. Broadcasting bans is great. It's helps the legitimate playerbase to socially outcast the cheaters.

If this thread was made by someone else, I sure can imagine your kitten response you would have given + gif that it makes no sense. But anyway, it's time autoban to be on. I'm not sure what* are they waiting for. "Refining" it my a.. This game is going straight to where G1 left it at. (EU at least) Pretty sure they can see what is going on and now realize that APB is a lost cause when it comes to cheating and are too afraid to swing the banhammer and reduce the population once again. That's why I don't even buy the whole "we believe broadcasting bans is a toxic practice". It's more like adding negative reputation to the game. And they really don't want this.

Well, don't worry, they will get banned...temporary few times until perma banned. Because everyone deserves a chance. /s Including certain "streamer" banned 15 times but kept blaming Tiggs and the ban evasion. I'd be funny to see him smashed by BE at some point again, wonder what would be excuse this time. But it's going to take awhile til LO turns on auto-ban. Smooth aiming on day 2 btw.

Open the options menu, select a different graphics quality option, apply, restart the game, see if this makes any difference. If not, try what Tobiii said. I've tried MSI afterburned with OSD on after Battleye patch and there are no issues. I'd not go that far to reinstall Windows though.

//double post...without even clicking twice. Nice. Maybe a mod can delete it.

Have you tried to "reapply" the settings? It's definitely something on your end because I'm running it on 8700k@4.9GHz stable 101fps 1080p ...and old old mechanical drive.

Depends. I think they are prioritizing ban related tickets at the moment. I have submitted a ticket regarding armas purchase on 10th june and still no answer. Be patient I guess.

Exposed. It's my old main account before I got banned, so I had to make a new one because couldn't even use forums. It was misclick when was choosing login details :^)

Yeah, and would you like to move to North Korea also? CRISP today, tomorrow thought police. Use the ignore button if someone is trash talking you.

Asger gets a nipple rub. Thanks....

Is it? Because in your original post the problem seems to be T's(which are mostly stuck in spawn) facing max rank fake golds with ogres and volcanos. Which is NOT against the rules. Dethreating is. They are not exactly the same things although can be connected. In which case you should have avoided the part about max ranks, ogres, shreks, volcanos.

Maybe they have, maybe they have not. I'm not saying people don't do it:) But not everyone.

Maybe then people stop whining about fakesilvers and accusing them in dethreat. But how horrible it would be to play with your friend, get a higher threat at end of the mission and get kicked out. Yeah, no more fun with your friends. What the game really needs is cross-district matchmaking that was supposed to come out in summer 2015 btw lol. And it seems that it's hard for you to understand that being gold in bronze is not against the rules. Dethreating is against the rules. People bounce between the two threats all the time. Also you refuse to understand why there are silvers in bronze too. I can't do anything more. Instead, you replied to me with a gif I couldn't make any sense out of it. Use words to convey your message, you are old enough.

kek. Haven't said there are no new players at all. Just like when I say APB is dead doesn't mean it has ZERO players. You know what I mean.... But you cherry pick something and evade the rest like why do new players need help. Something something children. And for the last time - the problem lies in the system, not the players. LO could do an experiment now they population is up. Lock golds in gold, so silvers/fake golds can go in their natural habitat - silver district. Leave the bronze district for T's and bronzes. But I'm sure T's will get rekt by bronzes too. Then we will need another thread. /shrug

My bad. But you know you can't have new player retention if you don't have any new players. Graphics are outdated for most peoples taste, reviews are horrible, tutorial is horrible, auto ready is horrible, game is old, no advertisement, it's not in the news outlets. It's pretty normal for this game not to have any new players. Fix the matchmaking and make a better tutorial although I didn't need one because I wasn't 12 yo when started. Pretty sure everyone who is eligible of playing the game(aka 18+ of age) can do it just fine even with the horribad tutorial. Children should stay away from it like the rating suggest. I don't mean to sound elitist but people who are meant to play APB will stick with it and go through the pain to grow no matter what. If they can't - well..it's not a place for them. It's a frustrating experience even for vets. edit: and btw, retaining new players is pointless if you can't retain the old players. You need a solid base. Hence why the unbans.

Player retention doesn't mean only newcomers. It includes everyone. It's enough for someone to look at the reviews about APB and decide not to bother at all. Most T's I've seen get throw right into mission because auto ready feature and then they just sit in the spawn. And game is old, the graphics do not appeal to people these days. The problem is elsewhere not fake golds. And those fake golds most of the time get proper opposition because of the other silvers there. Like I said, T's get rekt in silver districts too. And why gold players are in silver? And pushing back silvers/fake golds to bronze? Oh, wait, don't answer.

It's been in steady decline because of G1, cheaters and everything. It has nothing to do with unlocked districts at all. this is happening in silver district too sometimes. What do we do? And who do we blame? When I started playing, I used to be kicked out of the team the moment I join the team because I was T or bronze still. You don't hear me bitching about it. Life's hard for everyone.

it struggles with retention for many other reasons, but fake golds is not one of them. For a start - a better tutorial will be nice. But like I said...in the edit... those in help are simply children who are barely able to think and process information. Sorry but nowhere it says that you can't be a fake gold in bronze. It says that you should not dethreat. So as long as you they have dropped to silver in a legit way, it's fine.

"gold". You mean players going silver<->gold all the time. If you want the problem to be fixed, fix the ranking system and the matchmatching. And as far as I know, LO never said that's against ToS, they merely acknowledged the problem and said that the solution lies in new system and matchmaking. And honestly I don't know what do you think you are achieving with "working" with new players....I didn't need special help and I did just fine. If someone is in help maybe this is not the right game for them. But have a cookie, pun maybe intended:). edit: those people who need help are most likely kids and the PC version is rated 18+. So I'd rather not have more children in my adult game and you should not encourage them.

Not a massive amount? Misery and Cobra would like to have a word with you.

You get the transparent background when you use some potato settings in Advanced Launcher. I used to have it until I switched to ultimate settings + lowered LODs. edit: Nevermind, someone said it's the bloom. I was sure I had the solid color background now but it was transparent.

Oh, nevermind then. People couldn't wait more than 2 days before injecting:) Same people, same clans. Nothing changes. I'll wait a few weeks until it gets detected and they get banned. Again.

Public bypasses get patched quickly. Most popular trash-tier paid cheats are not updated and I doubt they will be any time if ever. But if you know where to look at, for about 1000€ and 15-20€ per month for sub you can get a private one. Of course eventually will get detected and get you banned. ESEA privates cheat go even higher in price. There are some pretty desperate people in APB, I have no doubts they are stupid enough to pay so much to keep their inflated ego. It might take few months but at least there are far less cheaters.

Welp, I'm saying EU but I mean EU/NA generally, my bad for taking the shortcut way:) Just be happy you can login again, LO didn't have to unban anyone. And I really don't wanna believe in some conspiracy theories where G1 stole your legendaries. What for? They can generate them out of thin air if they wished to. So it's gotta be LO.

Like...lol. Come on, man. The entire EU knows about it. Anyway, my G1C balance sits at 0 which I found really odd, Can't remember how much I had left prior the ban but I find it impossible to be 0. If it was LO I have no problems though:) You should also be happy whether or not it was G1 or LO who removed the legendaries.
