    I totally agree with you, on my case i bought years ago my premodded OBIR “Vladivostok“ and now i get outgunned much more than before,  it was always not easy to play Obir in mid/close range before but now it is near impossible to do so with satisfaction. Without IR3 it is totally fine to play.

    You´re absolutely right. Our Obir "Vlidivostok" is garbage now and nobody would pay real money for it now. The should at least change that preset IR3.

    Then just play the goddamned game

    What do u think i am doing? You even reached max rank? I guess no and just to tell you this takes more than 3 hours.

    An enemy is stronger than you? Learn their weaknesses, surprise them, try to be unpredictable - there's lots of tactics,

    I know how to play the game but not the 2 low ranks you get for 1 max rank enemy

    Care to give us your background? Your example conveniently omits your own rank and threat level and I believe it could explain to us why you're holding these flawed beliefs.

    Im playing since 2010 best character is gold threat R130.

    But i had a max rank character until my account got hacked and the character deleted.

    anyone can make a new character who will be an R9 one to everyone around.

    Thats why i want to have something like an account Rank (not the threat its useless) which is used for matchmaking. So I would weight more in matchmaking.

    Please explain.

    Threat tells you nothing about a plyers skill. (dethreaters, only 1 game can make the difference between gold and silver...) So theres only the Rank left to tell anything about your opponents strenght which is harder to manipulate (you could pledge to a max contect but would not unlock new stuff but you cant decrease your rank).

    A high rank means high play time which is very important in this game so you know all the positions and how to engage enemies in that positions, you know which weapon to use in which situation, you have better weapon handling, access to more mods.....

     

    To say that rank is not the best option to base the matchmaking on. But its by far the best option which is already in the game right now to get a decent matchmaking.

     

    I often see a team of 2 or 3 max rank enemies versus my team with much lower guys (like me + R50 + R70 + R120 versus R255 + R255 + R220). It doesnt help us to have 1 more guy in the team and at the end the GOLDEN R120 will have max 1 or 2 kills because the max rank guys destroy the low ranks so hard. Or a match me + R255 versus 3x R60 none of this R60 guys had a kill.

     

    In my opinion this is the reason why newer players quit or stop playing the game. Because they want to win games and get some kills too but this matchmaking system higly favors high rank players.

    This is a flawed idea on so many fronts.

     

    First off, as CookiePuss has already stated in this thread, rank is not an indicator of skill. A gold R255 player can easily make a new character - and they will pose just as much of a threat to the enemy team as their main character.

     

    Secondly, strength indeed is grounded in playtime - but not on a single character. You learn the game the more you play it - but it's not like your knowledge instantly evaporates the moment you create a new character and have to start all over.

    Thats why i said this rank should be account wide.

    Thirdly, Athon's post seems to completely misunderstand the distinction between threat and rank. Your threat segregates you into districts (green, bronze, silver, gold) and your rank merely indicates how far you are into in-game progression. That post seems to want to merge the two concepts... which is just silly.

     

    The gold silver bronze threat should be removed and only rank based

    Hello,

     

     

    I have returned to the game after 2 years of inactivity. I decided to make a new account because I did not want to play against high-rank players. I enter the bronze district and there are like 5 people under rank 150...the rest are all around 255 with legendaries and mods. Please make a rank restriction instead of threat levels. For example, you cannot enter bronze if u are over rank 75.

     

    Thank you.

    THIS IS WHAT THE GAME NEEDS! 90% Agreed!

     

    In APB your strenght comes so hard from play time.

    And make the level account based so a max rank player will always be 255 no mather if he creates a new character

     

    I only would change the rank restrictions like:

    1-195 = bronze district

    196-254= silver district

    255= gold district
