DDos problems possible solution from steam?
neophobia replied to HardStyler3's topic in General Discussion Archive
i've edited my post (an hour ago, just before you posted - again now because it was still a bit vage), haven't read properly before (i've stopepd after new api tbh xd) and thought this was just about steams new platform-wide trustfactor measures actually seems very good! only point that still stands is that steam tends to go down at times too - but it's definitely better than than constantly laggy servers due to ddos https://twitter.com/SteamStatus has a good backlog -
DDos problems possible solution from steam?
neophobia replied to HardStyler3's topic in General Discussion Archive
except when it goes down for 4h every other week... guess not as dreadful as constantly ddosed servers but still edit: nvm was... wrong, the actual things they promise sound pretty good. i was under the impression that there'd still be an issue since steam still exposes the servers ip (that would be hosted externally either way and thus probably vulnerable) - which lead to ddoses of dota gameservers in the past - but... apparently not. seems great! -
i feel like an alien when trying to comprehend what he's saying, so arguably he's alienating me x^d but no, i'm arguably not even alienating him, arguably he is - by not even trying to mildly improve after people told him what's wrong enough already (i guess writing gibberish doesn't really breach any rules though so whatever) of course you could just ignore that - i chose to ignore it completely. (still read his posts (and regret doing so)) i haven't even blocked hexerin, todesklinge or ray back then (only todesklinge for a short amount when everything had to be about kevlar buffs) and the amounts of "wtf is going on here" reduced a lot since i actively gotta click to display his posts instead of just getting them thrown in my face when trying to read a thread and the times he actually asks something useful (that hasn't been asked before) don't really make up for the bunch of times he just spams random pictures, acts stubborn/ignores facts + other views or just repeats the same question... also, it was mostly a joke. he previously wrote in some thread "You've chosen to ignore content by XYZ. Options " when trying to "quote" someone by copying - and since quoting really isn't hard, i would've guessed he did that on purpose to show them that he blocked them xd - and what's super mature and funny? being like "no u" anyway

no it hasn't been. it was introduced to armas with the "rocker" bundle by g1 in 2013 before, they promised ingame exclusivity (JT store in this case) - same as for explosive weapons (contacts/JT), that should've never been on armas (but now we also have the aaepd) i'm pretty sure it was annual until they forgot about it in 2015 LO never promised such a thing, in opposition to G1 who broke all of those subsequently
-
the first fell when 4x4 (customizable) was introduced to armas lul this hat has been the reward for every year since 2012,- it was hardly exclusive (edit: okay, it was not - it was definitely more than jsut 2012 though) what do you think about not complaining? first it's an issue that others get an event, now the event that you get isn't enough. like, stop. also, how about not spamming giant pictures without a spoilertag i should take my own advice and ignore yood for good...
-
here is a quick tutorial, since there is virtually no reason to not have done this yet if it isn't for the option being somewhat hidden key to eternal happiness less of a headache: just for clarification: it is indeed the same reward as from 2012
-
plz no generic titles plz no threads with questions that have been already asked/answered yesterday where you decide to be stubborn and ignoring every answer we've had previews of riot already - the eventmode with the 3 territories/factions that capture barrels. and that was a far cry from normal battle royale. and while you might hate the craze (as much as i do) it still drives in huge amount of players. and obviously they are working on the engine upgrade and fixing the game. they said they'd release that on a not too far away date and already have tests with actual players - far more than g1 ever achieved. those already confirmed progress but also evident flaws that need to be attended.

LO's recipe for a sucessfull game
neophobia replied to sakafiskafnjak's topic in General Discussion Archive
actually, this is finnish and means "i love you" wait, how is this a "real" word https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=skafiskafnjak -
idk how this sounds but maybe they could do the transfer as currently planned but with some compensation. like e.g. 2 3-slot/preset weapon selectors, 1 secondary selector, 1 4-slot/preset car selectors, 1 clothing kit selector, 30 days of premium or like just 4000 g1c plain or something (issue here would be e.g. with joker boxes that would inflate yet again - especially with multiaccounting). (watch others become upset that russians get something free) (or watch players that bought a lot become upset that others get stuff free too) this definitely sounds better than the other 2 current alternatives of no merge/merge with no items. i don't feel like it's perfect in any way. i honestly have no idea if the current issue also is that they *couldn't* transfer the characters as-is because of data discrepancies that they can't fix easily or that innova had broken items etc that they can't easily filter and just don't want to allow (reasonable too) ideally they'd just get the data from innova.
-
ye it doesn't sound hard to me either - in theory in practice... i doubt the data in apb is saved very consequently and i guess filtering just isn't that easy - in this case. i honestly doubt that LO would otherwise go this way, they seem like a reasonable company. they obviously don't wanna lose players, which is why they merge the servers in the first place - and it's pretty obvious that players are not happy and will leave. i bet they are trying but if everything fails... playing with your weapons alone isn't gonna be much fun either.
-
ye he said that plenty of times idk issue probably is that innova had way lower prices to begin with and also shelled out a lot of stuff for free - and had some corrupt gms that exploited their positions and gave out items/took them ofc i think they should still keep most of their inventories - but those also include a bunch of weapons we never had. i'd imagine the database during a transfer might be hard to filter considering how the data might be saved. and it probably would way much more feasible to filter a list of purchases and grant those items to the players again - so they'd a) only have the items they actually rightfully got b) only have the items that are normally available

giving my friend a Christmas pressent
neophobia replied to Deedeedying's topic in General Discussion Archive
there were no bugs, the only exploit was using stolen creditcards or using chargeback to get others banned (which they probably had to do or it'd get exploited to get "free" weapons...) there's no real fix for this except only allowing safe payment methods that don't allow any kind of chargebacks... which unfortunately limits the possibilities severely. alternatively they could remove the gifted items from said account after a chargeback or ask for the accountowner to pay for what was charged back the former would still have issues since it increases the workload but also allows players to get weapons "free" temporarily without penalty. even a 3 strike rule wouldn't solve this longterm. maybe those players could somehow proof it wasn't them (close to impossible in age of vpns etc) but it would still create room for exploitation the latter would mean holding the account as hostage for something you might've not even wanted and would still leave the same room for exploitation - scamming people out of their money instead of the account a voluntary opt-in gift system where you agree to take responsibility in case of chargebacks seems another reasonable thing but watch people complain about the company anyway if they get fucked because they weren't careful enough removing the gift system was probably best quick solution that completely got rid of all problems - whilst sacrificing own sales. which is a quite fair move. but yes, gift them money on paypal or steam instead -

All hail MOVVOM the hidden message here is "CBA ATM" which are two very common abbreviations to say they didn't go further with the arg yet (jk sorry)

c9 is an oca reskin/mesh cbmp is a pmg reskin/mesh the shots to kill don't matter, it's the ttk - and while min ttk is a bad measurement, the aces definitely can compete on average too, it could just use some tweaking. i'd say... small range increase (small enough to not destroy actual midrange weapons) could be reasonable and mild reload speed increase seems very reasonable (the rifle is in an okay spot already - i wouldn't call it the op version though xd) mag size seems fine as it is though.
-
a weapon doesn't need "doblekill" to be viable however they could use a slight buff albeit being quite good in the right hands already might as well just buff the reloadspeed

no, the moirai is definitely more of a chrysler 300 (2005?) or maybe an audi a4 (2003) (looking at it again, it's closer to an a4 to me, i couldn't think of a close bmw tho) not like any of this matters tho also it maybe looking better to you wasn't really the point, the shape of the ravan is objectivly better fitting (especially rearwise) there are plenty of kits for the moirai and it isn't even a bad car to begin with too - and the (to me minor) issues should rather be fixed than just having a fixed version of it also ye the moirai is not much bigger than the ravan. i'd personally love to see kits for the "lower tier" cars/anything to make them viable again... but all of them probably wouldn't sell well. no matter if ravan or moirai. coywolf probably wasn't too bad considering it's probably the best "fast" 4seater out there (not having an accountbound version made it not a good purchass to me tho)

jeez, mind = blown

Nekrova Migration to Citadel (OLD)
neophobia replied to MattScott's topic in General Discussion Archive
"on all fronts" ye, the decision to move you to a populated server so you can continue playing with others is the worst smh -
can't delete those annoying @ mentions on mobile anyway this is probably the worst advice ever. using ip hops for bans is the equivalent of banning someone based on their isp. you'd end up banning whole neighborhoods - that might work in a small town but imagine doing that to a big city, lol hwid is probably the weakest ban system ever - it's better than none but even if you don't spoof it just for the client, spoofing it for the whole system is one of the easiest tasks for cheat providers/coders in general - i guess it would help against those with AHK crutches - but even then, they are not the biggest issue Removed quoted content. ~@mayii
-
it's definitely more than nothing - which we currently get but eh... i'd say... sounds good? but rather maybe JT (since JMBs give JT already) and they could tune them better since JT don't inflate the market - like: apb-prices 2-3x higher would certainly be more attractive but lead to apb$ being worth much less. that would mean you'd have spent 100$ for 50k ingame... which would be ridiculous, since that's less than a 2slot car. (right?) i for one wouldn't be really happy about that. but ye, as explained above...

Nekrova Migration to Citadel (OLD)
neophobia replied to MattScott's topic in General Discussion Archive
yes those (from *nekrova*) will be transferred (as in the one you made on LO Armas, not Innova Armas) - this has been said in OP those from *innova* will be not, since they offered e.g. osmaw 3slot and various imbalanced things and apparently that can't be filtered... kinda sad with symbols and ingame money (but as i remember, innova also had GMs that exploited their status and just gave out stuff?)
