8 hours ago, Revoluzzer said:While this is technically correct, the threat-system should account for it by lowering its confidence in situations like this.
Just like you bounced right back to Gold after your ALIG-escapades because you had not only lowered your threat, but also the threat-systems confidence in your threat level.
So unless you keep getting matched against the same bronze players repeatedly, you wouldn't impact their threat-situation long-term.
Fair enough, and probably accurate.
For what it's worth, it's not like I fucking stomp the bastards. I'll often try less hard and use stupid weapons, but I'm not going to try to play like shit. -
You're not helping them get better. Unless you're actively taking them under your wing, they can only help themselves.

Your problem is you have a very polarised view, ie I destroy anyone with lower skill or I dont want to play with them. This is what makes you toxic.
2 hours ago, Rade said:But you do it anyway because its not your fault the matchmaking system is broken and you dont want to lose your gold threat. If threat didnt exist people like you may not be so try hard on newbies / not so good players because you would have nothing to lose. Equally if we had a working matchmaking, you would never be up against newbies / not so good players. I still maintain the concept of matchmaking in general doesnt help players get better it just divides the good from the not so good and we dress it up under the label of creating a fair playing environment.
I've come back from the grave, just to tell you this is one of the worst takes I've ever seen on the APB forums, and that's saying a lot.
I don't give a single fuck about my threat. I dethreated to Silver learning ALIG back in the day after doing awful for like, a hundred games in a row, and what did I do? I just. . . swapped to a gun that I knew how to play, and got Gold back in a couple games. Not particularly because I wanted Gold, but because I didn't want to be mean to Silvers by fucking them over.
Yes, I eventually learned to play ALIG well, I just really didn't understand the weapon at all at first.Because the honest truth is, I cannot conceive of how to play poorly enough that it would be fair to face Silvers on equal numbers, even as a low-gold, maybe gold 4, IDK. It's just not fun to fight Silvers unless it's a bunch of them, and that's not even talking about Bronzes. I play games to have fun and challenge myself while exploring creative gameplay, not to babysit and fill in coloring books while a bronze tries to land hits on me going full-auto with his N-Tec at 50m.
And, unpopular opinion: throwing matches when you fight bronzes is abusive behavior, because it gives them an artificially higher threat which makes them face opponents they shouldn't be facing.- 1

Yeah, so you get 85'd, hit medspray, and then get tapped for another 200 damage because you can't run back to cover.
Lmao.
If you want to use medspray, use it with flak jacket.

1 hour ago, Pwnimon said:Nope, you didn't, noone ever does.
People take breaks with up to 6 years, but you will come back, one day....
like everyone does
1. If you're out for 6 years, that definitely counts as quitting, even if you come back.
2. APB is most likely not going to be around for another 6 years. I know 6 years was (probably) kinda' just a number you pulled out of the hat, but honestly. . . I'd be surprised if APB lasted 3 years at this point.
3. This is a bit off topic.
I get what you're saying, and I know the meme, but ehh. . . it's a bit too semantic for me to care all that much, even if I do maybe come back eventually.

12 minutes ago, R3ACT3M said:why even come to the forums then if you quit 9+ months ago, who cares that you quit?
I~ what?
I came because I care about the game still and I knew not everyone knows the only way to get the 4-slot Fresno is through JMBs? I figured I would point it out since it's not entirely common knowledge. I am so sorry for trying to help the game.
I only mentioned that I quit because, as you might guess from my 8,800 posts, some people here know me, and I know people have a record of calling out people who quit coming back to the forums and lurking.
I'm trying to figure out what it is you're trying to figure out, lol.

47 minutes ago, R3ACT3M said:I thought you quit, why are you responding?
Yes, I quit APB around 9+ months ago.
If you actually thought from my post that I quit APB because of JMBs being removed or something. . . I don't even know what to say. . .

7 hours ago, Hexerin said:Cya soon. There is no leaving this game, only haitus.
To be clear, APB is my favorite game, I just have so little faith in Little Orbit that I had to quit for mental health reasons.
1 hour ago, Snubnose said:and also, I wouldn't want EVERYTHING to be obtainable... some items should stay super rare. relicts from the past...
Agreed, if something was exclusive, it should stay as such. That said, I want as few things to be released as exclusive as possible personally. XD

I actually do like seeing trading, it's nice. Trading is cool, I like trading, and it's nice to see trading.
I would like to see tradable fresno 4-slots.

Yes, I quit APB, but I just want to give a friendly reminder to the people throwing fuel on this dumpster fire.
The Dolton Fresno D 400 can only be unlocked through JMBs, so if you remove JMBs you're entirely removing the ability to obtain a 4-slot Fresno. You should probably throw it up on the Joker Store or something.
That is all. Peace.

I would have thought you'd have said the two were one and the same.

Apparently not, since I'm not on the list and I quit APB like. . . 9 months ago? IDK.
Some of us, like myself, are just too special fluffy bunnies who don't belong on the list.
2 hours ago, GhosT said:I'm disappointed that no one mentioned the old vegas sound and camera tilt while driving.
Also nitro not having any sound, just like the release whisper.
The camera tilt was patootie.
The rest I will agree was good (though I'm not upset per se about the current nitro sound.)

Honestly, the golden age of Scouts was the best period of APB. We can't have fun things though, so.
One of the first things I bought was a retail copy so I could get a Scout RT1, 'cause that shit was fire.

Let's not just gloss over that one.
I wish I could post another video, but almost every video Ray Tay has would get removed from the forums.

Excuse me, where is You're So Cool on that list?
Also, imagine not having ripped the old soundtrack from a retail copy and importing it back into the game.

It warms my heart that my name is still being mentioned despite me leaving APB months ago.
This is the post you were referring to I think:
P.S. there are some typos in that post that made me die inside, please, forgive me.

20 hours ago, NotZombieBiscuit said:Remember that one time LO bought APB and the Community Manager spent the next two weeks playing PUBG instead of learning APB, only to eventually boost their APB account to max rank.
Or that time VSB, Skitty and I had to tell her she should equip a primary weapon.
To be fair, that was a fun day.

Yes, that'd be great.
Varzuga Rally XD 'Newbie'

It costs 2k JT and is a unique vehicle, but somehow doesn't have mobile spawn point—making it needlessly unusable.
Give it a trunk mod please, and maybe give us a customizable rally too if you feel like it. This will take you five seconds to fix and has no downsides.
