Remove \abaondonmission. Its only used by players to abuse matchmaking.
Matchmake premades vs premades, if backup is needed they can dip into the Players ungrouped players.
Matchmake Players Ungrouped vs Players Ungrouped.

- Had it plenty of times, it should come back. Especially when i was stomping a team, it gave them the breather they needed and a way to balance up the game.
22 minutes ago, Thial said:Not only was the system highly abused by cheaters who were either driving around or speedhacking around the map and killing everyone from the opposing faction when they got a bounty.
- This was never big issue in the game.
22 minutes ago, Thial said:It was also a griefing tool used especially in very competitive matches where people were either calling their buddies or random people were coming to kill the bounty effectively killing the person who was for example defending team items / points effectively ruining the mission for everyone on that team.
- again this was a non-issue, nobody came onto the forums posting about it.
22 minutes ago, Thial said:Or non mission people were getting bounties themselves which allowed them to camp missions and grief effectively making you play vs 2 teams.
- again, this hardly ever happened and didnt impact matchmaking as much as /abandonmission
22 minutes ago, Thial said:There was nothing good about that system. All it was doing was either punishing you for being good or it was used by others to grief.
- was a very good addition to balance out the game, espectially a game with a lot of pre-made teams. Hardly ever used to grief, why ? because nobody ever posted about it as an issue.
22 minutes ago, Thial said:Get good and stop crying and asking for crutches like the bounty system to carry you.
- this is the cancerous attitude that plagues the game. If you truely like the game, you would carry and teach other players as much as possible. Instead of hiding behind your pre-made team and stomping new players. The more players that are carried, increases the population.

They are. But you can also just use your eyes. Its done in professional sports all the time ...
PLayed a guy today, level 255 with Obir and Colby .45. Got up close and his Colby fires like a machine gun and hits me with every shot. This continues, i look at his profile and he is advertising that he cheats.

I think its because LO is like having a wife in your 50s. We dont notice all the work she does behind the scenes and because of that she is too tired for some fooling around. Then once a year she wants to have "a talk"

I always tried to be optimistic when it came to LO, but a little burned out now. I know their heart is in the right place. I asked questions in the AMA 2 years ago about really really simple changes for quality of life, nothing happened. Right now if you look at the game and weapons, you can see the biggest Overpowered weapons are handguns for many top players. They are also a go to for cheaters and should have been nerfed 2 years ago. What was done ? Nerf explosive weapons.....
I know Matt is excited about the car EMP, but again this is at the detrement of newer players. This will be used by PMG's (Pre Made Golds) against PUG's (Players UnGrouped) to stop them from getting away. MAking the game go from Fish in a Barrell to Fish in a Bucket

LO seem to be very very lenient when it comes to cheating. So if you are banned there is good reason.

Fewer cheaters than you think tbh.
You just have to watch who is rocking the Obir and Colby . This time last year i was the only player using the Obir, now there are some amazing Obir players. Whos hand gun has been blessed with the accuracy and firepower of a Medusa.
-
If LO want to save this game, they really need to start talking to the casual players and playing with the casual players. The casual players best represent new players. Understand why they play and understand why they switch off. See what they go through when they go in game. Lets be honest every move Little Orbit has done has been at the detriment of Casual, new, players and their quality of life in game has just gotten worse and worse. Every big move/change has been to appease the little kabal of top players.

Had my first game in 4 or 5 months. I was up against a well known cheater. Somebody i really thought he would have been banned by now. You can even google his name and see videos of him cheating etc....
He is essentially low hanging fruit to be banned. When the low hanging fruit are not being banned, it kind of gives the impression nothing is being done. Saying that its no were near as bad as GTA Online

34 minutes ago, SK4LP said:fact is there is actually 2 population ingame, i m clearly for a segregation until we have enough population
sure separation can t be perfect, but it would be better than what we have...
You are correct, there are 2 populations within the game. One population was sustainable, it was random groups being pitted against each other. It was always fair, and allowed for learning etc... The other population was cancerous and essentially killed their own server. Despite little LO being told by "casual players", introducing this element to the servers will initially kill the servers. They did it anyway, without even any safeguards which just baffles me. Removing "\Abandonmission" is a safeguard. Removing pre-made teams is a safe-guard. Having a server for pre-mades vs pre-mades is a safeguard. Thats why the mind boggles and maybe they just want it to die so they can release a new version.....

He is super toxic, everytime I ignore him he creates a new char and keeps on ranting more in /w intill I ignore it untill I get fed up and whitch to no /w chat tab (can't believe we dont have basic things like option to not accept PMs from non friends). Every time I see him he is playing a different char, maybe switches every week IDK. I'm guessing his main is banned not sure, I have reported him to support with images and video clip one day when he was super toxic in chat and also griefed my team mission.
He's been harassing my two chars probably thinking it's two different people. It's funny because all of it started because I've outgunned his CCG in close combat with my Whisper and he got super mad after losing three missions in a row this way, while going afk and refusing to switch weapons lol. And he started harassing my 2nd char because he did not like my looks lol. Everytime he sees me he starts ranting in /w. Everytime he gets me as opp he rage quits. lol.
Surely I can't be the only person he likes so much?
havnt played in months and i know exactly who you are talking about.
-
for some reason i still see people playing APB when saints row 7 is out.
-
I dont think he is fighting. Pretty sure he is just moderating the bad language and offensive graffitti which is quite clearly ruining the war not to mention the hackusation.

Strange thing is, i think i know exactly who you are talking about. Did this happen in the construction area of the Finanacial District by any chance ?

13 hours ago, glaciers said:rose tinted glasses
ill always rag on orbit for not continuing to pay for eac when at the time it was the best anticheat apb had, but just the fact that they went through 3 (or 2, if you want to count both BE attempts as the same) different anticheats is more effort than g1 ever put in
I have rose tinted glasses for APB, this is true, i think i always will. I remember all the DDOSSing also. I always took the ddossing like it was a child going "wah wah wah", i would throw my fist in the air like it was the 80s, in celebration.
But i also agree with you, under EAC, was probably the best it ever was. You got the odd cheater at the weekends. Closets were still an issue.

14 hours ago, pesto said:like i said, it's the cheater's problem not weapon it self.
lets say, in team fortress 2, there is sniper cheaters that always headshot the people really fast. most of the people blame on cheaters and the game company try to block the cheaters
by improve the anti-cheat system or use the ip-ban or system-ban tactics like a fortnite
however your opinion is like nerf the sniper rifle by disable the headshot or can headshot it only fully charged, instead improve the anti-cheat system. because they'll keep coming back anyway.
maybe they can't headshot people anymore. but the cheaters still exist and they will find other weapons and another strategies to ruin other players gaming experiences.
same as this game. if they nerf the colby .45 for real, they'll find another weapons to grief the innocent players and they will complain again for nerf the other weapons. and they'll nerf the other weapons
and keep repeat these steps.
and later on. all the weapons are completely useless but they still gonna dominate you and ruin the players fun, and the end of the day, no one play this game anymore
conclusion is nerfing the weapons won't help for stop the cheaters. and they still gonna dominate you every single time.
There is no headshot in this game.....? There are snipers with macro.
What you are saying is fundimentally correct. But when it comes to guns, some guns respond better to cheats then others. The go to right now is Ursus and Colby .45, but the Colby .45 with cheats is way too powerful. Right now cheating is way out of control. If there were other hand guns that were as close to the .45 you would see it but there is not. It needs to be nerfed ASAP.

20 hours ago, glaciers said:it seems like you're letting the nostalgia talk, since all of those things existed under g1 to a much greater extent
g1 didnt fight fire with fire (that doesn't even make sense tbh) they did the bare minimum and lied about it, its cool if you preferred the lies but i think its silly to hold orbit to a fake standard
All those things did exist during g1 but not as bad as it is now. Right now there are almost cheaters in every game either in your team or against your team. But worst of all, there seems to be an acceptance of it.
-
7 minutes ago, glaciers said:its funny that people believe g1 even after all the shady shit they pulled, but won't believe orbit when they've been far more upfront and honest about things
makes me wonder if orbit would have been more successful if they'd just continued the radio silence and lies from g1 lolcheating was never this bad under G1. You can go onto twitch streams and find somebody cheating one way or another. If i want to buy cheats, i know who to whisper because their clan name is advertising that they are selling them. G1 fought fire with fire and cheaters were banned.

21 hours ago, iRawwwN said:in game moderation ecksdeeee
maybe if there was even an active community manager the game wouldn't feel so dead, and maybe people wouldn't be hesitant to put money into a game they enjoy playing. instead g1/lo have created a negative feedback loop that just causes the game to spiral downwards.
I agree, but there was never an emphasis put on protecting the in game community as well as protecting the forum community Although i do think, the intention was there. There is no emphasis put on protecting new players or the decent players coming into the game.
I think cheaters were protected the most out of the community by stopping the name and shame. I think LO was nothing but fair to the cheaters. They offered them an olive branch and let them all back by saying the bans were questionable. But lets be honest, we all know they were cheating or doing something against the terms of service. cheating has now comback with a vengeance. Unfortunately allowing cheaters anonymity to cheat over and over again, essentially created a cheating haven for them. It felt great seeing that fair fight banned somebody.

15 hours ago, pesto said:colby .45 have to shoot 5 rounds to kill the enemy not 4 rounds. also that gun only have 7 rounds.
so compare to fbw, those guns have their own pros and cons
fbw: high capacity and low recoil but less damage rather than colby .45 and slow bloom recovery
.45: batter damage and fast bloom recovery but poor capacity and high recoil
they should ban the cheaters. not nerf the weapons
you ban cheaters and within 5 minutes they come back on go to armas and buy the colby .45 again and will cheat for another few months. Pool their money with their other cheater friends stock up and legendarys and they are good for another few months before they do it all again. It needs to be nerfed ASAP, there is no risk and reward its all reward for cheaters and encourages more cheaters.

1 hour ago, EerieEric said:Now that i've kinda reread the APB 2022 Roadmap, I can assume some things about the game and why it's been in the kindest of terms, shitcanned. This more or less my speculation on the matter, the hell if I know what goes on at LO. Let's knock out the obvious reasons, from COVID to the ever growing craziness that is planet earth, 2019-2022 has been a shitshow. That being said I don't think these are the major reasons APB is dying and it's staying dead (still up for speculation, but results looking grim)
The best conclusion I can come up with? LO got tired of it. This IP has a terrible launch despite the diehard fans out there, while there was alot of good alot more bad overweighed it. That being said the concept isn't a bad one, its really easy to get invested in it and for the most part I even had
fun(pure lies, don't believe) when I was playing with during my reign in 2015-17 and then my return in 2019-2020.LO lost interest in APB, I mean they have another game they are working on while they work on the update and remake of APB. It's not hard to see that this might be the end of this game. I know I just posted a complete meme thread not but a few days ago, but I genuinely feel bad for people who've invested in APB with their time and money, only for the Dev's to get kinda tired of it and keep everyone in the dark about it. I can completely understand why some still kinda frequent the forums and the game, in hopes LO gives them a small nugget of hope. Games kinda fun in some aspects and it was hard to put down when I was invested in it.
That being said i'll end off with this. I hope that APB gets the comeback it desperately needs. I hope that LO keeps to their roadmap and you all get your super enhanced graphics and improvements. I really hope LO doesn't just flicks the switch on you lot, you direhard goons and I really hope they prove me wrong.
Here is hoping.
QuoteI think there are a mixture of things going on. The game in its current state can only support minimal expansion. The money and man power needed to make a dent in expanding the game doesnt make financial sense so best to go slowly and surely. The moderation of the game takes up a lot of time and money also. Some very passionate players out there react badly to any news at all, either good or bad. Some not so nice players out there also. If EA owned this game, they would pull it and you wouldnt be able to play it anymore. So i thank LO for keeping it going.

23 hours ago, Che1Battler said:Hi. Look at the game, Everyone are using Colby .45 pistol that makes more damage than any Main weapon. Don't you think it is overpowered?
4 shots with macro and enemy is dead.
Please nerf this weapon, this is really cheater pistol.
AKA the cheaters best friend. Its way too overpowered. I have seen people beat players with a Medusa players over and over again with this pistol. Way too many players hitting 100% of their shots over and over again.

People are giving reasons why abandonmission is good. The kick anybody was good also, you could kick griefers, or cheaters without a demerit, but it ended up being abused to kick the low levels off the team which ended up in one sided games. Abandonmission is used for the exact same reason and it leads to uneven games. Simply because the people who dont use it are lowlevels and dont know about it.

thats ok, thats just a cancerous player and is essentially the reason for the games population. So good riddance. We need to start looking at growing the playerbase and keeping a playerbase. Cancer needs to go in order to do so.
This is all new players get lumbered whith because of the /abandonmission.
