Maybe Migrate all the Rus IP's from Citidel to Nekrova instead? I mean Russians dont want to team with non Russians, pretty much a win win for everybody.

I am pretty delighted hearing this. So lets be honest here. Its not just because you didn't want to play against golds, its because you continually griefed your own team mates who wanted to play against them. Essentially you made their difficult game impossible. I think you were lucky with 1 day.

I have seen it a few times, some players let slip after they kill you and you can see them following where your team mates are. Some times they are very blatant when they start going around long ways as they know you are going to ambush them, they do this over and over again. There is one guy i know of, he has a few videos up. Somebody pointed him out to me before. He will come on with a sniper rifle and just annihilate teams. I remember one time i managed to get shot through a building by him. This happened during BE's first day. I have not seen him since......

We are not talking about Hackusations, we are talking about stricter laws on banning cheaters. Hackusations is another topic completely. Good day to you sir ! You forgot the cheater deniers, they are like the flay earthers of APB.

Oh look Cookie trying to discredit a poster with out adding anything to the conversation again..... Personally i don't think there is a way of fully getting rid of cheaters, they will always come on as long as its free to play. If its not free to play, the game will die. I also think its a very tough job for LO and the only thing they can do right now is manage the situation. There is no real solution but this is the kind of problem and its not something that you should tackle head on. Instead tackle the reasons why people turn to cheating. Bad match making. Experienced players vs non Experienced players. Players looking to get into top clans and keep their place. Players trying to make a name for themselves. This needs to change right now as the game cant survive. Clans need to be actively recruiting new players and teaming with them. It also should be easier to join a clan.

Those figures make sense. 600 players 167 actually playing, 433 dethreating.

I completly understand your frustration about name and shame. I am very vocal about dethreating. ON the bronze server this weekend 80% of games had a dethreater. (and i am being kind with that figure) . I also noticed that if i make a new character, the dethreating will be higher then if i have my level 255.

Top Gold clans and their unwavering complaints about the game yet doing absolutely nothing to protect the community and new players. In the last 6 years Top gold clans have only stomped new players never team with them and systematically kill the community.

I have seen a few cheaters since BE. I know a few cheaters who are sharing an up to date config through another medium and they are still playing and will probably never be banned. One was banned in the past and the ban took about a year and a half to actually ban him. Another was banned but the ban was overturned but i know that he and his friend are also using this "config" and are well known and well liked. When it comes to mistrust, its not just cheating. When you cant rely on your own team to actually take part in the mission and the other clans who are closed to the general public are steamrolling you. You have 2 choices. Leave because its not fun or cheat to get into a good clan.

GM's actually came on, it was funny to see all the dethreaters try to buddy up to them. But damage was done by that stage. I dont think it has any long lasting effect. They will go back to dethreating tomorrow .

thats great, that happens once every week and has little impact to the game. Today i am now at 15 dethreaters thismorning.

Personally, they are more visible now then ever. But the problem is, Player 1 is dethreating all day, causing his team to lose. GM (How is everybody today) multiple questions on engine update. Player stops dethreating for 10 minutes, GM leaves (or so we think) Player 1 dethreats again.

I think LO have a lot of work to do and its very hard to police the game as well as do work behind the scene's. But i honestly feel that there is no in game moderation as i see the same players grief all the time. I quit the game for 2 months come back, they are still doing it. Reported numerous times. But as i said on another post, if i were to name them 3 times on the forum 3 times, i could be banned. Yet they can grief me 500 times over the space of a year and nothing will happen to them and this is the product i pay for. There is a huge huge imbalance there.

since we cant actually rely on any of the seasoned players in the game to protect new players. All self made teams should also be abolished. Have a server for clans to face each other, let the normall players to put the teams together.

How do you know its a bum kid that is making the post? You dont. How do you know it was not a cheater as you were not there. You dont. Its just a comment to make you feel big and to discredit the poster.

I love how people pretend that there are no cheaters . "there are no cheaters, your just bad" Another famous APB quote.

You are 100% correct. If you or me were to name and Shame dethreaters 3 times on the forums we would get banned. A dethreater can grief for 6 months 100s of games and absolutely nothing will happen to them. A bit of an imbalance there. I know this as i am tracking 2 for a future video. I think in 1 week they dethreated on me 20 times.

A game can survive cheating but its the high level clans in this game which ultimately killed the game due to their selfishness.

Its a hard job to moderate the servers. I popped on there today. Same dethreaters throwing games that were doing 6 months ago, they are still bronze, they just laugh at you for calling them out because they know nothing will be done. I would like to see the servers moderated like the forums to be honest. Saying that the forums moderation is not great either as every first response is always somebody trying to discredit the poster. I moderate other forums and this is a big NO NO and is an instant warning. (Note above) Hilarious, it happened as i was typing this. Give players a time out. Even if its for 48 house its gets the trouble makers off the servers for the weekend. But that wont be done because the population is not great. But the population is not great because of this problem. Its a vicious circle.

When you have a community that implodes on itself like Innova, then that community moves to Necrova and implodes on itself. Moving to Citadel will implode also. Good, social players will just drift off to another game. They wont feel like going back.

It would have been more entertaining to merge the Nekrova with Jericho.

I love Russians but Russians dont like me because i am not Russian. This is why you see RUSBoris of Clan RUS with a Russian flag tattooed on his forehead. If Innova dies and all the players move to Nekrova, then Nekrova dies. Players move to Citadel. Citadel will die, its inevitable. You can already see the decline and this is one of the reasons. You will see a bust of population once the engine update comes out but that will start to subside again due to lack of community. I personally think Nekrova should be locked. US should be locked and Europe should be locked. Each server should be moderated to suit the Geo.

No but at level 27 you haven't unlocked character mods, you are not able to drive certain vehicles. But you still have the experience to abandon mission until you get some more experienced team mates. The whole problem is not match making. Its experienced players unwillingness to team with new players.

It always goes a little like this ..... You get to the Break in Point, you get it to 95% . /T Team : Wait for cops please You see him getting closer. Team : Wait for cops please He is getting closer and he is on a mission. /Whisper NewGuy Wait for cops please He is getting closer again. He reaches the point. He stops looks at all of us . There is an awkward stare down. He then steps into the 1 foot space between you and the window and starts to break in. You give him a warning shot. He unleashes all hell on you. Grenades and every bullet he has got

It actually is if break it down mathematically it actually is. If the game is broken down into experienced and non experienced, 50/50 The Experienced players know how to abandonmission and to group up. Not only that but they know how to avoid groups of in-experienced players. This means that, the 50% of experienced players will group together. You have the other 50% which do what the computer tells them to do. They get grouped together, they then get rolled over, they quit and go and play fortnite. The game slowly bleeds out, which it has been doing. The only way to fix this is to have servers dedicated to clans, and clan competition. With the other servers purely computer match making. But experienced players dont want this as they want to be able to roll over other players and they would wine wine wine on how the game is ruined, if it were implemented.
