no this game has "Top Tier" players who continuesly hide behind their few questionable players. Who go out of the way to take on ungrouped teams.

Where has it been proven. Also if you do have this proof, i would like to see it proven on a consistent basis.

anything to add other then your repeated attempts to discredit somebodies character when they call out cheating within the game. Why do you feel the need to attack somebody who says that there is cheating ? ? Why have you taken it so personally that you have called out multiple people who have adressed cheating........

This is the server right now. So many blatant cheaters, people are not even playing missions and standing around.

Anybody remember when, teams used to stand around chatting whilst waiting for opponents...

I am playing 10 + years, i have competed at top levels in first person shooters in the past ( with sponsorship ) I know what a cheater looks like. Especially when they are in my own team.... Secondly, i know my own capabilities within the game (you dont) I know how i would fair in any scenario, guns involved etc.. as well as predicting my percentage of success. If another player continuously bests me over and over again in these scenarios in which i have 90% predicted success, questions need to be asked of that player. There is a lot of that now. At this stage, you can almost predict a cheater by the gun he is using before you even engage him. You can observe how he plays, how he drives, how he throws a grenade. Its really not that hard to do.

Obviously EAC Only works to a certain extent when it comes to cheaters, there are groups of cheaters out there, who work the system so they can remain undetected. I am not talking about the closet closet players but players who comepletely obvious. They end up then selling those cheats for profit and start flooding the servers with more cheaters. The one system they cannot work is being observed and a decision made. Its done in professional sports, why not in APB ? In the last AMA, it was mentioned that the game was being left open as a Homage to the original game anyway, so whats it going to hurt. I have full trust it can be done properly. Again anybody who would be against this idea, have something to hide. I think a lot of players would be happy with this.

It sounds a little far fetched considering there are some well known cheaters still cheating. You dont need BE to find them. Just go to TWITCH or join their discord server and they openly talk about it.

The only people who would be against this are the people who have something to lose. Essentially the cancerous elements of the game and it ultimately kills the population. The main servers should be FFA when it comes to matchmaking. Then dedicated servers for clans or pre-mades who are complaining about not having "good competition" Its a win win, yet they will still say no. Because the truth is, the good players just want to stomp players who are new or un-prepared, over and over again. Seasoned players should be teaming with new players. Its how the world works. After all these years LO's refusal to do something about astounds me.

Saying it for years. Kill pre-made teams on main servers. Have servers dedicated to clan play. Protect the new players / new customers / potential revenue ...

Thats APB for you.... We need to patch patch the hole in the ship before we sink..... it wont work, we need that water to wash our feet terrible idea, a lot of people like to swim stupid idea, who would run the ship while the hole is being patched there is no hole, you are just bad

It was like that for a while. But then people were asking why the forums were moderated better then the game.

I know one instance it banned a player that was later re-instated a lot of people piped up to say that he was legit and there was no way he was cheating. I know for a fact that he was cheating, i know what player he got the cheats from. I would say FF was 100% correct, but some people got away with in on a technicality.

Maxpayne used a system in which there was automatic server transfer. It would automatically put all the cheaters on the same server as well as the suspects. But if you think APB is bad for cheating, GTAO and RDO are 1000 times worse. Cheaters have completely taken over and control the servers. If you report them, you automatically get kicked and they get your IP address. People have been targeted outside of the game for reporting them. Cheaters have the ability to kick you from the game, not to mention god mode, fly around the server. Rockstar wont do a thing.

I have to say, huge change today after the update. Really didnt come across any blatents. Not only that but GM's were killing it in district. Thats the most fun i have had for a while.

I was playing against a level 255 clan last night. During the mission, i was caught in the open by one of their players who started unloading his hand gun from the top of the bridge. I knew i was gone. Suddenly he snapped in another direction and was firing at my team mate 400m away. He stopped and took aim at me again, but again snapped in the other direction again. He just couldnt lock on me. It was actually hillarious.

matchmaking is fine. Its the current population thats broken.

#15 implemention of sonic pulse device for levels 240+ to prevent lesser teams car's from working and getting to destination first.

Thats like feeding breadcrumbs to the starving or putting a bandaid on severed limb with little or no impact to the casual players. Also a lot of this was done pre threat segrigation and yet with everything in place people still wanted to avoid the Gold Servers, because they " dont work" Just avoidance measures about what really needs to be done.

I dropped my resolution which helped a bit. Its a bit more playable now. Although, somebody comes at me with NFAS, i am gone :D

None of these changes are for the casual players .... Threat calculation has been the worst its ever been. But it can only do so much when players stick together. Threat segrigation removed = protect the golds, who killed their own servers (because they wont play with others) Anti-dethreating measures = there were none. Sprint shooting = never a big issue bounty = protect the golds No weapon mods were for casual players. We all know the top kabal of players exist and there are a few different groups. They only stick together to stomp PUGS. Some of them have alts in different clans. They have multiple accounts should they lose one. Some of them identify through their profile picture and not a clan name. When an update is done, some of them use their alts to test it, so they can make some changes to their "configs" to share amongst each other. If too many of them are banned, they throw a hissy fit. (wont go into detail there) If you were going to look after the game as a whole. You remove pre-made teams from the servers. Servers are all PUGS Vs PUGS. Have servers purley for clan warfair, let clans compete there. Have purgitory servers for suspected cheaters who have new accounts as well other players who have been bold for what ever reason....... If people are continually losing on purpose in order to enter a server or stay in a server. That server is doing something right. Now its gone.

I am having terrible trouble with the game as soon as i engage with somebody. Some players its really really bad, others not so much. As soon as my aim is on a player and it goes red,i completely lag out. I manage some shots but ultimately i completely lag, then ragdoll. The rest of the game is smooth as a cucumber. I have my graphic settings right down but still having this issue. Its now become unplayable. Sniper is impossible to use, again nice and smooth but as soon as i land on target, stutter and i jump off the target.

Just because you use a service it doesnt make you an expert. It makes you an expert in what suits you and all big changes that have been made were to suit a small powerful demographic in the game. This has come as a detrement to the wider community. In terms of the changes that can be made to the game, from the suggestion forum. I really think the game is limited in what can actually be done. I remember TW adding 1 clothing piece and breaking the whole game. Huge updates had to be done.

Ah the obligitary first response to a thread. To completly ignore the thread and to immediately discredit the poster in any way possible whilst adding nothing in value to the conversation or community.
