    No they will not, because LO is biased. As long as you spread your cheeks for Matt and tell him how much of a good job LO is doing you will be ok.

    that's exactly how it is. you got it. i became a toxic fuck ingame that does everything possible to ruin others games but since i say LO is great, they don't do anything. got my secret out there.

    Ruin others fun ?  You are ruinning his fun by getting him banned 🤦‍♂️

    sometimes you gotta see it from an utilitarian perspective

    is it worse if one guy ruins the game for plenty others or is it worse if the game is ruined for one single person so others don't get bothered?

     

    i'd go with my walmart analogy again but it seemed a bit lost on you

    And ? Where is the god damn problem ? Are you 9 , why perma ban someone who spent lot of money and time in the game for that 😂

    just because you spend some money you dont get to ruin others fun

     

    only because i frequent walmart and bought a shitton there, i dont get to shit on the conveyorbelts

     

    permanent as second ban seems a bit harsh but they wouldn't just ban you for blocking double bs garage once (would they?)

    Wait what ? It's the name of a game , like FOrTnITe ..

    Are you a joke ?

    well, dofus is pretty dreadful though (at least these days)

     

    it used to be fun like... 6 years ago when you didn't have to multibox every content and played with others instead...

    It is excel file indeed (I got one). You won't get any more that you already have on your account anyway so that seems fair to me. We are loosing event weapons/skins etc anyways so I guess that would be fair

    so the excel file would still be useless, since it does prove nothing - they would/could be ending up giving players everything that's on their accounts

     

    i think the issue mostly were people abusing their or their friends gm role as well as a bunch of free handouts and way cheaper prices to begin with... and while i wouldnt care too much (if it's not like broken stuff) it seems unfair to others and is bad for business.

     

    you could probably even go ahead and add all of these event weapons to that excel file unless there is a way to distinguish them... right? 

     

    plus imagine comparing thousands of excel files with player databases more or less manually since it would be on an one-to-one customer basis...

    Support agent checks the excel file, checks the backup character from Nekrova, compares results, gives what was bought? What could possibly be manipulated?

    you could add things that weren't bought to the excel file (but are on your char for any reason)...

    it's an excel file, lol

    (or a csv, who knows)

    I'm not strong on the forums. Hope it all worked out. 6,705 lines. I apologize for my words about. 7,000 ... mixed up. I checked through googl Chrome. Everything is working.

    Any chance people with that kind of data can get anything refunded while giving these files to support?

    those could easily be manipulated, so hopefully not

    i hate either - but ye nose is the wax to go i guess - after some time you become numb anyway.

    when i worked at a big company with big toilets with many many stalls (like 20 per floor and kitchen on that floor + near conference rooms - who needs this much!) with only slow aircon i just tried to avoid toilets during midday - especially lunchtime - you are mostly fine the other times

    the mornings are also bad since ppl drink their first coffee and coffee is laxative...

    but not as bad as post-lunch shits.

    in uni toilets are ok except after a party the day before - shit-smell is no issue anymore, vomit-smell is. kill me.

    I will say this, back in the day it was not 1/200 there were plenty of ppl including myself who went beyond 250 before getting a weapon. Having better rates is better but how about better rewards overall in the JMB? Premium time and Riot time would def be much more valuable then repeat timed weapons especially when you already own that weapon perm. Timed versions of the legendary gun would also be worthwhile till it was won perm.

    0.5%:

    100 boxes, 0 legendaries: 60.6% (99.5%^100)

    200 boxes, 0 legendaries: 36.7% (99.5%^200)

     

    1%:

    100 boxes, 0 legendaries: 36.6% (99%^100)

    200 boxes, 0 legendaries: 13.4% (99%^200)

     

    with 0.5% chance per box the probabilty to get 0 legendaries in 200 boxes is still I2jf8YX.png (bin dist - but since 200 over 0=1 and x^0=1 it's just 0.995^200 - - quite understandable because "what's the chance of losing 200 times?" 99.5%*99.5%*99,5%*... (200 times - so 99.5%^200))

     

    this is around 0.367 - so 36.7%

    with 1 percent chance you roughly get a third of that - if you buy 200, and the chance is 1% each, there's still a 13.4% chance to get not a single legendary, even with the changes they are making.

     

    only the average case is n*p so 200*0.5% = 1. but that's only for the average person. there is pretty high variance in this small amount.

    Cause not updating your anti cheat frequently and not actively patrolling your servers with GMs will really make an anti cherat effective. There are layers put in place to catch hackers and G1 never put the time into doing that, while LO hasnt done so either to date.

    i dont think it would've been g1s job to find signatures. (plus with ff that's not a thing)

    patrolling with GMs? which company exactly does that? which one of the size of g1/lo specifically?

    you can hardly employ 9 minimum wage guys and expect them to do a good job there either. less wouldn't work out even if you just get them in during peak hours.

     

    and as i said, you might be thinking of yourself as an ac expert but - even valve gets frequent complaints about cheaters. and none of their games is "ran by cheaters" and so isn't apb. goats cheat epidemic was a situation where it actually was pretty much ran but that's late g1 and i'd claim LO wouldnt let something like that happen.

    If G1 gave the slightest shit yes it could have easily been fixed.

    of course, because what a company with a 100m investment and oversized staff cant do, a small patootie company could do with an investment of "the slightest shit".

    yes yes.

     

    issues that even a multi million company can't fix to customer satisfaction - hint hint, it's producing two of the most successful games in the industry and just at this point in time got over 120million dollars for an ongoing tournament, banned millions of cheaters yet people still claim it is being "controlled" by them.

    it's not like g1 also tried 2 anticheats that were SotA - or considered that by the players, whined for and then claimed to be shit once they were implemented...

    APB could easily be mainstream if only things were fixed and hackers didn't control the game. G1 sure did a good job didnt they :^)

    and those could easily be fixed and hackers easily control the game right :^)

    I actually only see golds and havent played against silvers for months except FC. I'd also be interested in official numbers but I dont think that'll look like your sinus-wave. Maybe a few silvers more than golds, but tbh for me it feels like only the veterans are still playing the game. Every mission of mine is full tryhard and not a single one is a little chill.

    sinus wave? how would that ever work (and even if you just took the [0;Pi/2] interval it would be an odd "distribution" to go for

    did you mean normal/gauss distribution?

    i liked oc bc you didn't have to tryhard

    seeing any kind of mmr (even threat) makes me much more competitive

     

    but it was empty as hell bc it had its flaws e.g. certain people just went there for easier opp...

    The problem with the DMR is that range at which you can two-shot is way too small to be worthwhile to run the weapon. Also, the two-shot range is more of a "power boost" seeing as how three-shotting with the weapon is it's standard STK.

     

    What I would suggest for the HVR would be something a bit different. Remove the damage reduction while the crosshairs are expanded, and make the baseline damage 250. Have the drop-off start at say 40 meters with a minimum damage value of 300%. Have it hit "minimum" damage (750) at about 60 meters.

    you could've just said maximum there xd

    so min dmg 250,

    max dmg 750 starting at (min) 60m

     

    i guess that would've been fine but i'm also fine with the current way

     

    dmr is pretty garbage in comparison unless you go for LTL (or have the AV variant) - even after the nhvr fix

    i miss the old HVR..... Tbh I feel if are good enough to land shots and use a sniper cqc why be bottle necked for players that cry and can't adapt or just out shot you up close

    what's a bottleneck here? that word doesn't seem too sensical in this context.

     

    also, hitting shots up close doesn't require (much) skill, no matter what you believe.

    but even then this would've been fine - if you'd have two hit two shots with the nhvr up close - the issue that was mainly being addressed is qs'ing and nhvr + perc in cqc.

    Thank the insane SPCT Member(s) who said "damage isnt the problem" and came up with random stupid fancy ideas how to fix the HVR.
    And here we are now.
    HVR is more or less useless for good players and does still stupid amount of damage for bronze players.

    the current version of spct wasn't even formed back then iirc lmao

     

    are we? i don't feel like it is this situation at all. way less threads filled with complaints in opposition to before.

    1 hour ago, crusade said:

    They made it so the HVR only does 250 damage if your crosshairs are not completely closed.

     

    I still don't understand why they haven't just implemented a reverse damage drop-off for the HVR. It would fall in-line with how the rest of the weapons are balanced in regards to range, and we already know it's possible considering the DMR was given a two-shot range.

    because we already have the dmr (which is not getting utilized much so obviously it's the wrong way - unless you'd agree that snipers should indeed be niche weapons - which i'd totally agree with but then we'd get even more threads like this with a guy complaining his crutch is not viable everywhere anymore)

    You guys Broke snipers only because some people cry about? But with scout is Jump shots still able? what LO rlly try? some people cry about and is even not sure if this people play this game or not? 

    nothing is broken, you just can't use it in broken ways anymore. very skilled qs'ing and nhvr cqc (with percs lmao) needed a nerf and they got it.

    might as well nerf the damage additionally

    just make it delayed. give it like 100ms to turn red and poof, color triggerbot advantage gone.

    while normal players can still use it to determine whether or not whoever they are looking at is an enemy or not - which is an issue with the heavy customization apb has. cs and the likes have unambiguous playermodels, we dont. nametags dont always show up (getting blocked by objects, e.g. when shooting under cars)

    if they didnt do anything and you reported them falsely, nothing will happen. no consequences except your reports might be treated with less priority/weight.

     

    just be sure to use it not as much in future, despite it feeling satisfying to a degree.

     

    is retract the word you meant?
