Boba

So after recent (horrible) changes to IR3, the mod is rendered useless. Especially the last nerf to the mod (keeping -18% fire rate while decreasing its range). After the recent changes to IR3, I'd like to announce the funeral of the innocent victim, IR3. Rest in peace brother. May the premodded weapons equipped with IR3 rest in peace too. You screwed up LO, big time. Thanks.

Make APB smelly again!

No the bishada is not alright. Extremely low hp + very low starting acceleration + very light car + bugged = worst of everything.

So since LO's reviving back APB and fixing things wrong with the game. I wanted to bring up that the Bishada Rapier really really needs to be bumped up in terms of acceleration and HP. It's such a waste of a good-looking car due to being extremely fragile (it can't even handle small crashes) and the poor acceleration. It's supposed to be a race car but it barely pulls out before you're thrown at by a grenade, which is enough to explode the car instantly.. I hope LO considers major changes to the Rapier any time soon.

Well until golds find a place to hug them all together, they should respect the community they're with. Gold districts being empty is not an excuse to be a douchebag to other players.

All these "Golds" being salty because they're too scared to lose what feeds their ego and makes them feel somewhat better at something in life. Just let them keep saying silver and stuff. IK for a fact I'm a silver and I kick a lot of "Gold" asses on their district. To add, if Golds feel so superior and ashamed of Silvers' play-style, why not go play in your Gold district and never bother with Silvers again. If you're going to play with a community, respect it.

Oh ok gotcha Actually a lot of games utilize 2 and some utilize 3... So it's not a new thing.. Pretty much yeah. A lot of people are gating on PB cuz they never saw an updated PB (which busts punks pretty well)

LOL thankfully I was offline at the time. :'D

I never said it is "gold". But proper PB is good. Just facts. Anyways the BE update is coming tomorrow and I'm so excited about that don't disturb my peace :'D

Actually I did buy a Bloody mouse once to test if the game is macro-proof. Guess what, PB didn't even catch it. I kept shooting at double-b testing every macro scenario possible and didn't get banned. Also, my primary mouse if a Logitech G502 and never PB banned me, so idk for myself PB never gave me false bans so I can't be sure about the false ban stuff. And it is ofc true since a lot of people experienced it, what I'm saying is a proper PB configuration would never cause false bans, unlike old PB config in apb which was complete horseshit.

Would've been banned from BF4 a long time ago buddy..

Oh boy.. What's wrong with these replies? The dude just asked a freaking question? Why is there people always whining about every single thing someone says in the forums, then they ask why APB's community is poisonous? Wow man, kudos to u for your patience.. And to answer your question, I highly doubt that they will be able to get you your expired stuff, unless it's a really nice gesture of them, because it's relatively a new company and I don't think they can cover such expenses in their beginning of their career.

I'm 100% with you. Because you've never seen proper implementation of Punkbuster. APB's out-dated PB was shit. Look at games like BF4 were PB does a very good job when properly configured and kept up-to-date. Thanks guys for confirming the presence of FF alongside with BE. This makes me even more optimistic about the update. To add, I wish LO informs us beforehand to remove our advanced launchers so we don't get banned suddenly after the upgrade.

That's great! Thanks for the info.

Agreed. Thanks for the detailed logical reply. Indeed. Cheaters consider it a hobby which pleases their inner troll. Cheat-makers consider it a hobby to develop their OPP skills and make money out of it. Disgusting types of people which will always exist.

That's why fairfight is really is really important. Any person with C/C++ background would understand my point, which the importance of having both server sided and client sided protection to effectively eliminate suspicious/cheating actions. Problem is a lot of people replying either didn't understand my point properly or are just commenting with 0 knowledge of how cheat detection works. They're just delusional and are going through wishful thinking that battleye alone is sufficient. I totally agree about punkbuster. But proper implementation such as in BF4 makes PB a no-joke for cheaters. THANK YOU

I really hope that becomes the case with APB. Hope is finally back.. Yeah that's why I totally am excited about BE. It's just that BE lacks the memory scanning abilities of FF, but definitely better with analysing memory reading processes once they're caught and flagged.

For everyone who replied, it seems that people have misunderstood 2 things. First: that I am not thankful for LO's efforts and the implementation of Battleye. this is simply not true, if you just took one second to read the post and understand, you'd realize that this was not the subject of the post. Second: That I am expecting an Anti-cheat to be flawless. Again, not true. To clear things up, the subject of the post is people not getting their hopes so high. I often see people saying in-game "just wait for BE and there won't be any of you scumbags". I am simply pointing out that people should not be expecting APB to be free of cheats, unless 3 of those anti-cheat mechanisms are implemented together. And for the people acting like little whiny kids and being disrecpectful, just know APB community gets worse with your existence, please change your attitude or get some self respect. I won't be reading a line after I see some little kid whining as if I was unthankful for LO's efforts. Which is simply not true, what's true however is your inability to understand a post's context and rather whine about anything you read on the forum.

Actually proper implementation of PB and FF like Battlefield 4 kicks a lot of cheater patootie. If you play BF4 frequently you don't see this much of cheaters and it's also FF + PB. But I recall EA making some tweaks to them for improving their detection and analyzing abilities and accuracy. Well, I don't see where I complained? All I see here is someone who complains about everything and dissing the community whatever happens? If the community is so irritating to you, maybe you should get off then. Maybe it's just my bad luck w/ pubg and ark(couldn't handle playing ark). And yes ofc it's a major upgrade and I'm definitely happy about it!

I've seen more than than, but definitely I agree. Battleye is an improvement in every way possible. I mean, I am hoping for a cheat-free APB, especially that Battleye is having a hard time right now since hackers are experimenting more with its mechanisms and finding new loopholes day by day. You can even see Battleye talking about that. My point is that we shouldn't rely *only* on one cheat detection mechanism, especially when new cheats for it are currently being on the rise now.

Well I have certainly seen a lot. Also by digging for some time through the cheaters forums (mpgh and their sucker alternatives), I found that actually a lot of cheats are found there often related to games which have Battleye.

Since Battleye is coming to apb, I just wanna raise awareness to something. People who play PUBG know that Battleye alone is very far from a proper cheat detection mechanism. So, will Battleye be present with fairfight, or it's a case of either/or? I know for a fact that battleye alone is not sufficient and it will just be a matter of time before new cheats are made, and that would suck! I'm recommending Punkbuster + Battleye + Fairfight(if possible) since it would be really hard to bypass three layers, 2 of which are client-sided injection detectors. What are you guys' thoughts on this?
