     Unless it’s performing an action at variable intervals, it’s not too difficult to pick up on. 

    As I stated it depends on the action.
    CS:GO was an example already used, what if it's jump throwing for grenades? 
    How can you tell someone's using a macro to get it at the maximum height? What if they just know the height to throw it at?
    Obviously there's spots where it's too difficult to be consistent but it simple cases like grenades and the like it's very difficult to say with 100% certainty.

    I read from the roadmap that pc is getting a new trading system but it said pc only after the first critical updates that are planned for xbox one will we xbox players recieve the new trading system too? Or is it just for pc only?

    Essentially it's as follows:

    -Short term: All updates are focused on catching the PC up 
    -Long term: The PC and Xbox will be unified in terms of updates

    at it from a business standpoint that kind of move (not broadcasting) means one thing: Something to hide. Either everyone is being banned, or almost nobody is.

    No..That's not at all what it means.

    Battle Eye is running. One of the best current Anti Cheat systems.

    Lots of people agree there are still hackers running rampant

    People agreeing and there being *actual* hackers are two different things.

    Or banning them would mean the death of the game because they are so many that make up for most of the APB playerbase.

    The game currently has it's most amount of players in years.

     

     

    LO has stated multiple times why they're removed the ban broadcasting element, instead of making things up your self with this dangerous and toxic thought process I suggest actually looking into what LO is saying instead of trying to make the situation worse.



    See Matt Scott's post for a summarised reference

    The problem is dat theres not enough people in da game right now and without new content i dont see how they gonna come.

    There's plenty of people in the game right now.

    It's just a low gold can easily drop into silver and start stomping the bronze district as what's essentially a gold player (Tagged as Silver since their elo is too low) is vsing Bronze and *actual* silver players.
    The MM issue is because players try and exploit it (And to be honest it's not that hard).

    I personally am happy to play the game as is, I just agree MM needs some improvements.

    Wouldn’t they see the consistency that a macro may have vs a normal hand movement. Example: if I were to set one to shoot every 215 Milliseconds. Instead of me just shooting normally? 

    Well, it'd be possible.
    It depends on what the macro is accomplishing as to how obvious it is, but even then unless it's completely obvious I doubt anything would happen since LO don't want false bans (Which is entirely understandable).

    I'd suggest contacting a moderator through PM for better details in regards to how this works ect.

    You really can't get banned for using macros as it's near impossible (If even possible) for anything to pick it up without the program it's self being blocked by an anti-cheat.

    Players may call you mean names for using macros, but you really can't get banned for it.
    Even if it's against ToS it's too hard to distinguish between a real player or a macro.

    Honestly most of the UI is fine as is. The only issue is inventory causing 20 fps decrease. Also inventory filters and sorting but that's about it

    Oh, I'm not complaining about the UI. Personally I like it. 
    I just wanted to know if LO plans on doing a sort of "rebranding" of how APB looks.

    (Though I do agree the Inventory does need a bit of work)

    I'm in silver district and looking at all the blatant hackers still cheating/toggling cheats, wallhacking, trigger botting, aim botting, u name it. When will you serve up all these bans?

    I swap between Silver and Bronze district depending on what character I'm playing and I don't see any of this.

    I get the odd person that I think *might* have some sort of walls but I tend to just blame it on them seeing me from lag or sound whoring since it's so few and far between.

    I've noticed players are still hackusating, and even me when I'm just spamming my opgl I get accused of walling.

    UI system is still supported

    Are there any plans (Near or far) to change the UI to a design more suiting where LO wants to take APB? Or are you guys happy with it and only feel if needed minor touch ups will be applied? 

    And in the Q/A you mentioned the P/N 5 system needed work, are there any current ideas to rework it or is this a more down the line thing?

    Seems pretty intuitive to be aware that district chat, forums and the internet in general exist!

    For experienced gamers, yes.
    But not always for new people to APB or even in general.


    I mean the website name isn't even the same as the publishing company now.
    It also helps to have someone experienced showing you about, if you don't want the help don't take it. But some people like to be shown how the game works.

    Want to learn sth.? Put in the effort! Read the forums, watch streams/vids or just ask away thats how I learned about new games when I wanted to improve.

    Yes but they need to know these things exist, or even how to use them.

    I think some form of "mentor" program would be nice. Players needing to ask for help is obvious, but a lot of the time they will get flamed for asking, and if they don't ask then no one knows they need help.
    It's a tricky situation but if you look at how TF2 did it that worked pretty well.

    Its anyway bullshoot to make random scrubs GMs.

    These  are not neutral, they are probably some pathetic bad players who were hackusating everyone in the past or even cheated themselves.

    95% in this forum think they are good players, but they are not.

    Being a GM is more then skill, but unfortunately we can't assume every good player will be a good moderator (and vice versa)
    That's why there's application and Lixil is going through them thoroughly, picking the right people shouldn't be an issue.

    There should be either an "Delete all expired" button or a way to check multiple weapons so you don't have to go through the confirm prompt for each one.

    I've always wondered this, is there any benefit to actually keeping expired weapons?
    I've never found a use besides for when I rebuy it it'll be in the same place.

    Even if they drop them from ARMAs and puts them in as contact rewards, they should still balance them or bring certain ones back to their former glory

    LO already mentioned they were doing balances.

    So, given that within two patches they'll be tinkering with the servers. Can't help but ask for something that we once had. That we should have, that we don't have.

    That's fair enough.
    But you have the yukon in your signature so you're arguments invalid

     

    As much as I'd hope the server patch will "fix" the servers, I feel like it's only going to be a small fix to stop the major lag issues, not exactly making the servers good but making them acceptable, adding the extra 20 players may not be a good idea until we're certain the servers will be up to scratch for it.

    If they do that, I wouldn't mind restoring 50v50.

      

     

    The population is also slowly getting back to the old numbers, so we can easily have 2-3 silver districts and like 5 bronze districts.

     

     

    Making plans like this may be kind of pointless.
    LO has stated they want to redo the threat system and the servers, so I think they might even change the player pop cap to fit with whatever new system they come up with for threat.
    And at the current point in time I don't mind 40 v 40, the streets can get a bit chaotic/troll filled with so many people running around in the district (Which iirc Matt Scott said was an issue as well [Though far off])

    We also looked at under performing weapons to try and figure out how to make them more attractive.

    Is there any word or current thoughts on Less Than Lethal or is this balancing focused on lethal weapons for the moment?

    1. when are hackers gona be dealt with 

    As LO have already said they're working on the anticheat issue now. With the implementation of BE and the removal of ban broadcasts things are certainly moving.

    2.how will we know if battleye is banning people to make sure it works 

    As LO have stated they won't be broadcasting bans for how toxic it is, however I do believe they may push a feature for us to find out (E.G: "Person you reported has been banned) however nothing's concrete, but there won't be broadcasting how there was with fairfight.

    3.when will the russian server be fixed so that the russians have their own server because currently they spamming chat 

    Unfortunately there's not much I think LO can do in their current state, fixing this is a long way away. What you can do as a player is just ignore them.

    4.when will fairfight be adressed as we havent seen any progress 

    Fairfight's still working in the background while BE is collecting data, but the main anti cheat tool will be BE once it's up and running

    5.will dethreaters be banned as in my opinion was illegal before u took over but wasnt (ENFORCED)

    It's still against the rules and people have been threatened with bans if they do it. I don't know LOs current stance on it in detail.
    However Matt Scott has stated the team will be reworking the threat system, so we can assume dethreatening won't be as bad of an issue (And once there's active GMs that should help it too

    6. o and one last thing that i was asked to ask is this is a 18+ game saying bad words can get u banned or silenced yet ingame contacts use harsher words ?

    The forums are 18+, the game it's self is rated as M, so it's not 18+. 
    However you don't get muted for using "bad" words, you get muted for using them in a bad way. (I.E Being mean)

    7. we dont want a BATTLE ROYALE mode in apb as this can destroy new players from entering 

    Some people like Battle Royale, and at the end of the day it's content so I personally don't mind, even though I'm not personally a fan of BR modes.
    But each to their own in regards to this. 

     



    I hope that helps clear up a few things.

    Actually tried it last night. It was hell to use. And I refuse to try the PIG/Perc combo.

    I know, I use LTL myself.
    It's just not really fun, I only use it against silvers. It's just not viable against people who can stand toe to toe with you.
