    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the most successful online multiplayer shooter ever. Why not copy its matchmaking mechanism?

    in which regard?

    the ranks do get distributed similarly.

    it just works better since there are way more players. (plus, while apb uses hidden subranks, they don't matched strictly - which is rather impossible in the current state)

    and even then, people still complain about it and rather use faceit than official.

    matchmaking(partially due to mm, partially due to better servers)

    rank-ups seem random at times.

    deathreating - downranking - is also a thing in csgo. there are sites dedicated to match people who want to downrank together as one team, lul. it might take longer than apb but it IS a thing. i'd love to see it prevented more in apb though.

    5vs5 would suck in most missions imo - though i rather would have larger missions than the occasional 1vs1...

    i know, backup and the likes are not too great (although they sometimes work out), however it could be good for later "balancing" during the mission (something impossible in csgo) and kinda compensated the low playercount per district and this flawed matching - if it would work well.

    there is no "open world scrimmage" either in csgo, you just sit in main menu if you'd prefer that... uh... i suppose it's better to have a bigger matching pool since no one is split in districts - but i guess it could be about the same with phasing though.

     

    that all being said, apb is way less competitive than csgo imo - and that's good.

    i'd love better matchmaking but it doesn't seem as easy as "just use csgos mm"

    i think the current could work okay with tweaks and phasing to increase the available playerpool.

    Mmh is mostly about removing unecessary negativity makign the game more. 1 Timeproof and replayable 2 Open 3 stylish and less crowded. A lot of M rated games fit the parents say 12 + category (ie battlefield 1) on a lot of sites so is mostly a perception thing more than actually getting a T rank, in fact I all in for stylish cartoon blood~

    < I mean this looks so bad a$$ and ezee on ur pc at the same time, is so waterfont on shaders looking and the shadows contrast is ♥

    This graphic style just favors this game so much, it makes it IN again just think

     

    about it ><

     

    Original APB was made by cartooon looking crackdown developers

    i can't see what's stylish about the first image

     

    aaaand guess what, crackdown 1-3 were all M rated.

    Oh, yes! And they could replace lamp posts with huge candy canes, add more fluffy bluish and pinkish clouds, and rainbows. Like, rainbows everywhere.

    And glitter, of course. Lots of it. 

    i'd play that. however, you forgot the unicorns instead of cars (of course the horn would be topped with cotton candy so it stabs no one)

    (i hope this isn't enough to summon queen of love)

     

    idk what op is on.

    do you want a different game? zombies instead of pedestrians? what? i'd understand if you wanted them to look a bit more rough or something - the city is supposed to be at war - or more aggressive or whatnot but... how would zombies fit into that game

    idk how T rating would also help this game that much - no one really cares about that rating - if anything, teens wanna play the more "bad" stuff.

    i get that league, wow and fortnite have T ratings. equally popular games - csgo, cod, gta have higher ratings. i think there's more to being popular than having a low age rating.

    (well i did, back then)

     

    surprisingly PUBG only has a T rating too though?

    as far as i know limiting fps is only achievable through config editing (which is not allowed and a bannable offense - sadly, to a degree - especially cause of stuff like this) -

    except enabling vsync and/or smooth framerate

     

    but

    yikes what an edgelord skin, really

    In my opinion a very annoying problem becuase not everyone have FBW-SD

    game clearly is p2w at this point :^)))

     

    didn't even know about this, haven't seen a thread about this before either (or recently enough to remember) albeit being on the forums every day (yes, i am 😢)

    so... maybe they weren't aware of this problem either? they fixed similar stuff quite fast in the past iirc

    I prefer the 'Ursus'

    why does this get downvoted, it's just someones own opinion stated as such lmao

    On 9/6/2019 at 10:34 PM, Hexerin said:

    Ursus is significantly better in most situations.

    i get it here since it's wrong and posted like a fact

     

    ursus is slightly better for longer ranges, ntec is slightly better and maybe a bit easier for mid range.

    in the end, it rather comes down to personal preference and the scenario - i prefer the 5 in most situations. not saying you would.

     

    i wish there were trial options, like a shooting stand - i get it, you can't just try for yourself right now - but that's how you can only find out which ones better to you.

    i bet their sweaty stack just steamrolled them and had a laugh at how bad they were. oh well.

    can we close the gold in the gold district ? can be a Tlv it is necessary to close in the green area ?

     

    in this situation, the players do not fall or rise to one level . they jump through two levels .

    no. g1 has done this and it already severely hurt the game and population, they reverted it within months (which was quick for them ;))))

    Isn't this something you have to clarify with the steam support?

    huh? your steam account will have no sign of being linked to a g1 account. (or at least which account. they might now you authentificated at g1 via steam)

     

    g1 saves some sort of steam id that they will get once you login over steam and authorize authentification for the g1 website.

    why would steam have databases for g1 account info? they would have to have that for every single site you can login with steam on.

    you can add logging in with steam to any forum or whatever - skin trading services use that.

     

    the only reasonable solution is that those that use authentification via steam:

    1. ask steam for a token or some identifying information
    2. have you login at steam and allow this authentification
    3. steam now sends your account specific info to that site
    4. the site looks if they have matching info, if so, the account with the matching info gets logged in for your session

     

    steam has basically no say where the account specific info gets stored for matching or how the actual login process is on the side of that website - or in this case, g1/lo.

    they just give the info and it's upon g1/lo to link it.

    Is that all the community games are capable of? Hat, trolling, provocation and no real sensible thought? Do you care so much about the future of the game?

    we have sensible thoughts, you just dismiss all of them because you think you are right.

    or actually - you say people are trolls because they disagree.

     

    most of your points have even been addressed in the past, idk what you are trying to do here.

     

    on a side note, "petition"-culture is toxic af to begin with and reading the title already... ah well. i don't see a real "petition" here though anyway.

    what

    i think he's either using a (very) bad translator or uhhh... has some trouble with the language.

     

    what i've learned from this thread: don't try to argue with someone with a "Disturbed" avatar (not sure if that's actually it but seems fair enough)

    It needs to be made available in all the channels PlayDek originally advertised.

    although it's very probably not as popular as metro exodus, have you thought of doing it like them?

    people who preordered it on one channel, will get it there -

    but for the open public it will only be available on EGS on PC

     

    i'm not a fan of any of this buuut... yeah. guess any extra funding is good for smaller titles.

    (not gonna rant about gearbox here.)

    The way he comes out on his own stream by treating players in a bad manner on top of not looking like he enjoys the game most of the time is not someone I would want to advertise if I owned a game. I don't feel like he represents the APB community as a single person and the company should do stuff like this on their own and interact with the community directly rather than a 3rd person. But like I said nothing against Kempington I just feel that Little Orbit should do stuff on their own and communicate with us direct rather than an unofficial discord and 3rd party people.

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if we have another Sovereign situation with the way things are going.

    sorry, never watched any of his streams apart from the q&a, only read the forums and there has barely been any criticism - if any - here and you yourself said "great guy" lul. guess that changes stuff.

     

    the feedback was pretty good regarding the q&a though. of course, as you said, he does not represent the whole community. idk i guess they could just collect the questions and immediately answer them themselves... i do think this seems a bit more personal though. and he is/was the biggest apb streamer lately.

     

    i think LO is taking action if any of their volunteers steps out of line though - i've only seen 2 cases of that though (in which LO both acted appropriately)

     

    if he is that toxic though... hmm.

    Having multi accounts was fine then and is now. The Tiggs Box fiasco was players just being goofy. Some created hundreds and hundreds of new accounts that day.

     

    As for ban evasion... old G1, just like LO now, reserved the right to prevent anyone banned from ever playing again. Though for the most part, you are free to reroll and play legit. 

    fair enough

    but ye rerolling definitely wasn't endorsed xd they did have a rule about ban evasion, i just wasn't sure about LO

    Special treatment, Nothing against Kempington great guy but it's all it is. Same as how they are more active on the unofficial discord compared to the forums and a lot of the people from there seemed to be in SPCT and GM positions.

    they mostly took active old players that seem reasonable enough. should they have taken more random people?

    also kemp didn't do anything wrong, prove as a bad person or whatever (edit: i guess he wasn't too nice in some of his streams. nvm.) so it makes sense they stick to him since the first q&a was quite successful, even now that he quit (for now).

    doesn't seem like special treatment to me.

    IIRC you can send mails to whatever you enter, doesn't matter if the character exists or not.

    Creating a new character... now how do I do that with all my slots being used.

    is multiaccounting allowed? xd

    under g1 it wasn't because of exploited redeem codes and ban evasion buuut...

    or you just ask a friend who still has slots left :)))

    13 minutes ago, Snubnose said:

    well... there' still the option to create a new account for that... don't know if that's allowed or like a grey area..
    or ask a trusted friend with an open slot to try out names...

    anyway, I wish they'd bring back gifting... would solve your problem and be benefitial for the community overall...

    whoops, you were faster, didnt see.

    Will there be any way to check if a desired name is free or taken? You used to be able to do that via armas gifting, but that feature is long gone.

    My alt needs a new name and I don't feel like wasting money on a name change that I eventually won't be able to use.

    what about sending them a message at the mailbox? sorry if you already tried that

     

    or just... creating a new character

    It always amuses me that these are called "cases" when they don't encase the phone. They're skins, nothing more.

     

    You want a case? Here's a proper case:

    ok boomer

     

    btt: actually like the cases, sadly none for the OP6 - which i totally get. hm. tbf, they ARE a bit too edgy for me too xd

     

    pretty expensive cases though... you can get these kinda printed (completely customizable) elsewhere a fair bit cheaper 😕

    yea I know by @KyoukiDotExe has a i7 2600k @5GHz and gets much better fps than me, if I had the benchmarks he sent me from his PC I would post them but his 0.1% lows where significantly higher around 60-90fps

    lol? this should be wayyy worse than yours.

    it's an i7 - but that should not matter in the slightest since single core matters here - and you both have a 5ghz oc and his is 5 years/gens older.

     

    unless it's for his config he must've gotten super lucky with the lows too during his bench - or it was way too short

    Hi there,

     

    If someone wants to contact apb-r.ru and let them know to take down the link, they are usually very helpful. I just don't speak Russian.

     

    Thanks,
    Matt

    lmao that site posts a real money trading VK page as "news" http://apb-r.ru/news-2143-black-armas.html

    As a 'non-Advanced Launcher created config' player, this is a bummer for me. 

     

    Obviously LO has no choice with the program in question, I'm just curious if players who manually create a config have to worry?

     

    Also, I don't suppose we could finally get an official response on what is or isn't allowed config-wise?

     

     

    PS for anyone curious my specs and benchmarks for APB are:

    Bro just paste all audio files together, put some Apb (or at least cod/minecraft/fortnite) gameplay in the background and upload it to Youtube.

    or just write it, like... i'm not listening to voice recordings

     

    he even put a wall of text upfront as the op like it can't be that hard for him to just type it out... and if he just put it as all bullet points (heh... eh...)

    Well then how can I check it if I play by steam ?

     

    Merged.

     

    I'll try to validate with the same email that my steam has 

     

    Merged.

     

    The validation code from gamersfirst is not coming to my email what to do ???

     

    Merged.

     

    Now I can enter by the same email as my steam account is made by and I enter to the same account as in steam 
    But Your account is not active is still there cuz I need to validate but BUT THE VALIDATION IS NOT COMING TO MY EMAIL I ALREADY PRESSED IT LIKE 5 TIMES :DDD

    when you first started this game you had to create an account that got linked to steam automatically.

     

    you can check the address here (if you are signed in, like you are right now):

    https://forums.gamersfirst.com/settings/

    and see if it actually is the one you are checking the whole time. have you checked your spam folder?

     

    which mailprovider are you using if i may ask?
