neophobia

good

this. op has been playing for ages and isn't even bad when i encountered him. he's part of the issue. also, there are no "illegal"/"legal" macros, there are no laws. and the programs being blocked are totally up to LO so... they make the rules and ban the programs that are against the rules. if some aren't getting blocked, it's probably because they are not known to BE yet. This is however out of LOs reach. They implemented a better anticheat than what has ever been in APB.

imagine playing in bronze and still hackusating everyone btt: they already have monitoring and reporting active. however, obviously the reaction time is limited by the count of mods - we have roughly 500 players active at all times and judging from the amount i've been hackusated... you'd probably need 100 gms at any time to deal with the flood of reports, if they were to immediately react to them. obviously not feasible. even 10 gms per server and 8 hour shifts would be a lot to employ and monitor - since they are also only human then the monitoring times: since they can't outright ban unless it is a shawcopter or speedhacker, they might have to watch for 5, 10, 15 or even more minutes, when it's just slightly fishy. they can't also do multiple reports at once etc also: the connection times. unless you have like 3 gms per district, they'd have to jump between districts a lot. which means quite some periods of inactivity, since they load quite slow... and so on. this is also linked to number of mods etc. i doubt apb is profitable rn - and even in profitable games you barely see gms, as good ones are quite expensive and rare. they are also not even chatting anymore (much), as atleast lixil said that they were invisible for now

same happened in dota currently after you've played the event gamemode. they must've stolen code. the indie devs at valve obviously. nah, weird. hasm't happened to me either. didn't see that in the bug report forum either ah fuck i betted my posts would merge so i didnt have to deal with the new quote bs on phone... but... yeah. nack to op - no, it shouldn't be. nfas is basically in the same state as it was for the last few years, it is just not ridden with hitreg issues anymore though. and even then, it is a strong gun in very very close range, but... letting an enemy get that close is on you. ifit only happens to you on attack - try prenading corners close to the objective - even if it wasn't for nfas or shotguns, cornercamping is an issue with many weapons. (and tps games in general, just saying)

you do know that you can/were able to also just shoot them (? not sure if they broke that too, didn't even know it was broken)

imagine being such a true game industry guy that you'd just don't read his pinned posts and start complaining as well as https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/2018/11/21/updates-on-apb-development-progress being able to read makes me feel quite good to be "pcmr" :^)

i had the same issue with two of my mice as they were getting older, none with new ones.

.. thanks ! lel

they didn't run a single promotion campaign yet - no big update steam announcements etc - no press material/releases, no nothing. my best guess is that they want to get the game in a good shape first. and with the ue 3.5 update, there might be some positive articles about apb coming.

cant be that bad if it kept you playing for 8 yrs

we have ntec compact yes? we have devlar??? we haz throw telephone!! (just because the database mentions it, doesn't mean the game actually uses it)

shaw, s1-series, sbsr, stac and far-series are indeed all made by somatic, just checked in case... (the others start with s - while far doesn't but it still is made by them: https://db.apbvault.net/items/Weapon_AssaultRifle_FAR-FoldedStock_Slot3 )

does the g1 preorder include a steam-key upon release or do you need to preorder it on steam to get that? (once that's up again (if that is ever intended))

if you wanted to preorder for pc - last thing i heard was that it was pulled from steam for now - i reckon they will relist it there for preorder when it is time. https://steamcommunity.com/games/360950/announcements/detail/1492238800024274472 oh. i never saw the gamersfirst preorder website for it. well since the preorder bonuses are all pc - i guess the preorder will be for pc only for now. beta/ea is also especially hard to do on consoles with the limits/barriers sony/ms/nintendo set up for normal updates already. so i guess most of those bonuses probably won't ever happen for console - obviously just a guess, just putting that out there.

comic sans XDXDXD

what i've learnt from this thread: don't let grandpa use the pc again

no, pretty sure it's the notebook.

nope, he is not. he's been here for a few years, i've been here for a few years. he's just like that. well, unless he's been going at it for 9 years already. his videos prior to apb weren't exactly better. if he's that invested into trolling... i might salute to him - but it'd also make me think that there is still something wrong.

no, this is just ray. he is being completely serious although you can't take him as that. imagine being this bad at the game and then hackusating everyone who is not

there's already atleast one bigger and older group that serves the same purpose https://www.facebook.com/groups/213378398696263 also, these are the english forums - so please use english

with there being armas kits that cover the windows - no, that would be a bad idea. but yeah... it probably should be possible (as there also are hitboxes of the players inside the cars iirc), although i think AV weapons are a good way to bypass this issue and simultaneously bring more variety to the weaponpool also, i think balance wise it is fair that you can lean outside the windows and be shot then - and that people can carsurf (although that should be made more accessible to newer players (i know, it already is, with jt...))

years ago.

it was a nerf after a buff though because that buff was too strong? is it worse than g1 state? edit: as far as i see: no it is not. while the dropoff starts earlier, it does more damage and i guess it also has those first hit pellet damage multiplier (if that wasn't removed) so it is just as g1 but more consistent (read: easier) also, it costing "real money" is no argument. nano has been nerfed, troublemaker has been nerfed, csg has been nerfed... all for rebalance. just because you say/think it's bad, doesn't mean it is. it was overpowered after the buff, thus it had to be nerfed

wink wink

well congrats, you were obnoxious yourself then? that was literally the entire point of my response anyway. sorry, let's not derail this (too much)
