    Hi everyone and hope you're all doing okay.

     

    It's kind of a weird question I guess, and I'm not posting from the character it happened on...however...

    On 15/09 I had an interaction with someone that could be seen as being sexually harrassed.  Who do I bring this to the attention of, and how do I do it?

    Thanks in advance,

    Averix

    I'd like to see you speak anything worth reading.

    LOOK AT ME I AM COMPLAINING LOL OH GUYS THIS ISNT THE WAY WHAT A TROLL OH NOES I STUBBED MY TOE

     

    How about you lay down the potato chips and actually speak some arguments like someone who is not trying to look like a troll.

    The Colby .45AP is a problem and you stand idle.

    No audience could love you

    Yes that's the point. But this one aims.

    THAT is the trade-off.

     

    You sound like someone who is suspiciously okay with people running around with an Overpowered secondary that shines in the hands of people who never miss their shots.

    Do you miraculously hit every single shot? Do you outplay the odds every single time by 'skill' that you are so defiant against a weapon like this being nerfed? Are you able to stand against the people who also use this weapon and also 'miraculously' hit every shot without fail?
    Are you one of them?

     

    Let's see if you understand what I am calling you here

    I agree with OP. Kevlar needs a desperate rework, it is not competitive in its current state. On EU most players use CA3 and occasionally fragile. 

     

    This would be a balanced yet effective version of a "Kevlar 4" I believe. Compare this to the stats of "Kevlar 3", where the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.

     

                                                                                                                                                                (P.S. sorry for widescreen shot i play in 4:3)

    +45% Player health

    -20% Reduces crouch speed

    +20% Time to climb ladders

    +20% Time to kick doors open

     

    Let me know your thoughts on this

    Anyone with half a brain jump kicks every door and crouch peeks from a standing start, so 2/3 negatives will never matter

    I 100% agree.

    Also about potentialy nerfing .45AP, I'd say give it a bigger magazine +2 and make it need +1 more shots to kill. I'm no statistics expert (I am, but I just cannot forsee how this would go) but I'd be curious to see how this would play out.

     

    You made an fbw with less bullets, congratulations on your “balance”

    Valzipram Tablets 

     

    • Effectiveness reduced from 100% to 75%.

     

    Dev note: Valzipram is the clear winner when it comes to the overall strength of Blue Character mods so we're applying a slight nerf to the overall effectiveness of the mod. This will make it so cars will now need a minimum speed of 15.75cm/s rather than 18cm/s to kill a player.

    “all the blue character mods suck except valzipram, so we nerfed valzipram and the other blue mods still suck”

    This is the same phenomenon that I always mention with cheating throughout the years (although right now that one is really off the scale). With the low pop per district and low pop overall, if you get stuck with a real downer of a person you're very likely run into them over and over for that session.

    that is apb being more toxic than other pvp games

     

    sure maybe there’s less assholes per capita than actually populated titles, but getting slurs shouted at you in valorant doesn’t hold a candle to being literally prevented from playing until you give up and leave the game

    But, due to the number of hax, who turn gold very quickly, the average score needed to turn gold 

    is raised higher and higher. Making it impossible to gain gold in a legit fashion. 

    So it's not a matter of winning X number of missions, it's a matter of out scoring those on your team, 

    and beating the average in the Pool, that pool being all of NA, or EU if thats the world you play. 

    Now this isn't just some hogwash I invented, its based on Maglo explaining why I had turned gold 

    in otw in 2 missions. He said because the Pool is so small there compared to Live. 

    no

     

    The matchmaking pool is the amount of players available to join a mission. The smaller the pool is, the less likely you are to be matched against equally skilled players. Since you are generally silver at best, you were likely put up against higher threat players - when the system does this, it expects you to gain a certain amount of score for the mission. If you outperform this (e.g. 1500 score instead of 500 score) then it’s likely you will still gain threat even if you end up losing the mission.

    Hello APB: Reloaded Community

    We've got an important update regarding our ongoing efforts to improve APB Reloaded, especially as we approach the 15-Year Anniversary.

    First, we want to reiterate our commitment to combating cheating. As part of the upcoming 15-Year Anniversary patch, we are on track to implement significant upgrades to APB's existing in-game protections. This is a major step to make it much more difficult for cheaters and hackers to disrupt your experience, and these enhancements will be part of the anniversary patch release.

    Regarding GFAC, our new, dedicated anti-cheat solution: we are continuing to pour resources into its development. When transitioning from our internal environment to our Testing environment we have encountered a couple of major blockers which delayed testing. We have since resolved those blockers and are making solid progress acting on the issues encountered by our Player Testing team. To honour our commitment to releasing a truly robust and effective anti-cheat, we've decided to further delay the release of GFAC itself. This decision allows our team the necessary time to refine it, address every identified issue, and ensure it meets our incredibly high standards before it's deployed.

    We believe this approach provides the best outcome: you'll receive crucial strengthened in-game security with the 15-Year Anniversary patch, while GFAC gets the dedicated development time it needs to be the comprehensive, powerful tool we all expect.

    We know the fight against cheating is paramount, and we're tackling it on multiple fronts. We genuinely appreciate your understanding as we strategically roll out these improvements.

    Stay tuned for more details on the 15-Year Anniversary patch as we get closer to its release!

    Thank you for making San Paro such a vibrant city.

    this was definitely written by chatgpt

     

    what exactly does this mean we’re getting for the 15th anniversary patch?

    Are you guys really sure that in this time and situation of APB, a leaderboard is the right thing to focus 90% of your work on?

     

    Because that's, and i'm sorry for saying it like that - probably the worst thing you could focus on right now. It seems so random with APBs current situation. And a few JTs won't make people like it. Add daily challenges like many other games do if you want to hook players with JT, but not a leaderboard that strictly requires turbo sweating and punishes people for playing casually or having fun.

     

    The game needs actual content, not a leaderboard that'll just harm the average mission flow and player behaviour.

    the man literally said it’s not strictly limited to turbo nerds 

     

    even if it was, a leaderboard with fight club challenges might actually get some sweaty players to switch off ntec/scout sometimes  

     

    and leaderboards are probably just dusty rtw code that matt had to spend a few hours vibe coding to update - minimal effort for large(ish) return is a good thing

    People are already saying the FR0G would be a fair thing to go up against...

    half the people in this thread have specifically said the .45 is too strong in cqc

     

    guess which gun has the exact same performance in cqc as the .45 

     

    i give it a week before the complainers realize they’re still getting outplayed by the same players except with a fr0g instead, and the nerf campaign begins again

    I uploaded a short video of a speedhacker I met in Waterfront yesterday, and sent it via discord to staff and they'll looking into it as he was blatant, I can't agree in your statement that they're allowing blatant cheaters to stick around, sorry. Why would they even think of doing that as it ruins their game...?!

    incompetence is easily mistaken for malice

     

    little orbit disabled the anticheat, and then announced that the anticheat was disabled to everyone

     

    worse, they’ve done this before, so they should have plenty of data on how damaging  this exact scenario is, and yet they did it anyway

     

    a speedhacker should be the easiest cheat to detect and ban even without an anticheat, and yet they frequently cheat for hours or days at a time without intervention

     

    when the company keeps repeating mistakes that they’ve already made is it any wonder that some people begin to think it’s intentional?

    Thats what happens after 2 shoulder surgeries, one of them being rotator cuff. I am by no means in my hayday and my arm isnt as steady as it used to be. I have to live with that both in game and irl, but I know for a fact that if you have an aimbot aka 100% accuracy the gun is very broken. A gun shouldnt have a 95% use rate in a game. That means there is nothing else that can compete.

    news flash - every gun is broken with an aimbot, that’s why it’s cheating 

     

    tanking a gun because of cheaters is the absolute dumbest way to go about balancing

    Any cheater with a bot and macro can easily take you out with a 45 before you can kill them with a shottie or OCA. The gun is primary powerful and thats why 95% of the remaining playerbase uses it. Then theres the fact that legits suffer from non existant hitreg making it harder to kill someone while a bot always has perfect hitreg. If LO could do something about hackers it would help geatly but for the 45, make it 6 shots to kill instead of 5 and it would be fine. You have an extra bullet and a fast reload so its a minor nerf that would balance it out.

    you’ve never hit 85% percent accuracy in your entire apb history bro, just say you want the gun dumpstered because it makes you mad

     

    anyone whining for a ttk nerf without any buffs in exchange just straight up doesn’t understand balance

    I was always perplexed as to why that occured.
    Was it complete lack of care from the management team or developers team in terms of new content & balancing? Was it the abysmal game performance at the time? Was it the supposed "ghost-shot" issues? (which were mostly RNG complaints) Was it the, supposed, rampant cheating & lack of a illusion that a anti-cheat solution exists? (lack of separate casual & comp queue exacerbated this even further, PB wasn't helping it, however)
    As a concept, APB did many things right... it just lacked support after it's release due to lack of, as we can now easily claim, good management.

    rtw was a very large, very public failures and gamersfirst really miscalculated the brand recognition (and so did little orbit)

     

    combined with poor advertising and slow, monetization focused development the game has been relegated to “shitty gta clone with cheaters” by just about every gamer i’ve ever met

    In my opinion this weapon ruins the game in its current state. The only thing that needs to be done is to lower its damage slightly so that it becomes a 6 shot kill to match the TTK of the Obeya FBW (1 second).

    if you increase the .45 ttk then it’s just a worse fbw with less bullets 

     

    the only acceptable .45 nerf is longer reload speed to punish mag dumping
