Panicbutton

I knew were bound to slow down? I have had unresolved issues for weeks and more issues that I haven't submitted a ticket to because the other ones never get answered. I submitted a ticket about not being able to get access to items I bought through the marketplace over a month ago and got no answer. Communication is great but if nothing gets done it's just lip service. I was really hopeful that you could resurrect APB but now I'm certain you can't. Thanks for trying I suppose.

There's no cheaters left. Just gold guns and nade spam, same thing more or less.

Can't join districts because of threat level. Can't play with friends because of threat level. Can't pick my character name because it contains bad words. Panicbutton contains a bad word but FuckMyAssPlzDady works... Can't get a support ticket answered. Can't get my Armas cars on new characters. You guys have had this steaming pile of crap for 3 months and I still can't log on and play with a friend.

As a returning player who refused to buy gold guns, from a stance of personal pride, I have to say the gold gun business model is as dead as fried chicken. As a new/returning player I should be on the same playing field as every other player on the server. I shouldn't have to have certain mods or certain guns to make missions winnable. I'm not asking for you to get rid of mods or get rid of gold guns like the whisper, all I'm asking is make the stock guns less shit. Mods should have a 10/20/30% increase in certain stats. As it is now if you don't have certain weapons you can't compete. The forum fanbois will keep this game in the dumpster, stop listening to them.

There's a tip on a loading screen that encourages you to taunt nearby players over VOIP. I've never seen a game encourage trash talk especially not by giving tips during loading screens.

After reading the whole article I realize again how much work LO has to do and how long it's going to be before this game is in a playable state. Hopefully they don't get bogged down by the never ending stream of masochist fanboys on these forums. See you guys in a few months.

I have been amazed the last few days on the forums of people who are still avidly playing this game and been opposed to some of my suggestions to wipe everything clean and start fresh. Why on earth anyone would stick with this game this long is beyond me. The never ending stream of cheaters was enough to make me and my friends quit years ago. He does bring up one very interesting point in that article though and it really needs to be addressed: They respawn, and as the fight goes on I’m subjected to a seemingly endless barrage of rockets and grenades.

League has a system like that through some tribunal sh!t don't they? I thought it was pretty cool when I got that message.

As a side note... I have a deep seething hatred for EA. That is all.

So since you know the servers are on mitigation I'm assuming you read the plan to fix the lag sticky which means you are aware of the situation. They're working on it.

I understand where you are coming from and I'm sure a long day of policing these forums could test anyone's patience but this kind of seems like we're being punished for toxic people being idiots. When there is no game to play, more people sh!t up the forums and unfortunately there is pretty much no APB Reloaded right now during this rebuilding phase while we wait on you guys to sort out the mess you bought. Hang tough, once you guys deliver on all the stuff you have planned the forums will cease to exist for most players.

Tells company not to listen to us, gives multiple pieces of advice. Quality posting.

It's not a matter of how you rationalize the 2 actions, it's a matter of the legality of the 2 actions. Punishable by law. Not punishable by law. You picking up what I'm putting down?

So then we disagree about the manner in which this mass unbanning and APB Reloaded resurrection should be handled. Instead of taking the social justice warrior stance and being offended and irate and telling me to p!ss off, maybe calm down and realize it's possible for people to have a different viewpoint than you and not be talking hate speech. Snowflake.

Wipe the whole server except for the things we paid money for IMO, this game has been dead for years so who gives a sh!t.

In this situation they are unbanned every single banned account. Every cheater, every bullsh!tter, all of them. I would wager there were more righteous bans than unrighteous ones, by a large margin, and that leads me to that statement. If its 75% actual cheaters and 25% non cheaters it's still worth wiping IMO.

I understand it just fine. I would rather players that got falsely banned start over than give everyone who cheated their sh!t back. It's a bad situation but achievements mean nothing if they don't wipe the unbanned accounts.

My vote is that if an account got banned then it needs to be reset upon reinstatement. If you wanted to keep your progression maybe you shouldn't have cheated to get it. If you want a clean slate then you get one.

What stance will Little Orbit take against cheaters once BattlEye is implemented? Will there be a 3 strike system for wallhacks/aimbots/ESP or zero tolerance? I'm just trying to get a feel for how harshly you will be dealing with cheaters given the history of this game and your decision to give all cheaters amnesty.

I can't help but be a little pissed about Gamer's First being so bad for so long now that someone capable is in charge.

I'm sure the tickets are worked on in the order they are received.

You are probably right.

I submitted a ticket 22 hours ago and it's #1551 already. Mine was in regards to my enforcer's name being changed from Bacon to BaconEwCoFvEk or some sh!t like that.

Again... there were improper bans. Instead of going through years of Gamer's First garbage their going to get BattlEye and start fresh. You really can't blame them for that decision. Gamer's First screwed the pooch on bans, its why I quit playing all those years ago. They kept talking about an anti-cheat and hardware bans and it never happened. Very few companies can pull off their own anti-cheat and the wisdom of Little Orbit to realize this and come out of pocket for BattlEye says a lot. It is lame as hell to give cheaters a free pass and welcome them back, I agree. I despise cheating in multiplayer FPS games worse than any other kind of cheating. Its essentially saying 'my brain can't control my hand well enough so I'm going to cheat to make myself feel better about my brain's failure'. However when you are dealing with years of critical failures by a company you just bought and you are trying to get a viable product out to your customers so they can enjoy it, the quickest way to get there is to not dwell on the past and move forward with a solid plan to stop it from happening again.

As long as BattlEye is up and running BEFORE they unban everyone then it will be fine. P.S. Matt Scott covered this topic in the stream with Kempington. There were improper bans. So the dumpster fire that was Gamer's First banned legit players because their awful at their job. In order to right a wrong of that magnitude you have to wipe the slate clean AFTER putting a system in place to stop it from happening again. It's not feasible to go over all the stupid bullsh!t that Gamer's First did with their garbage anti-cheat, they have to just do a full wipe of the cheaters accounts and start over.
