Are you going to do something prevent DDOS issue?
vsb replied to dett2's topic in General Discussion Archive
this article is a great example of the difficulty involved it took the fbi 1 year to track down the ddoser, it took 6 years to extradite him to the US for charges, and it took 1 year for court proceedings if if we apply the same time schedule for apb, will the game even be alive by the time the ddoser is in court? -
Delaying the RIOT launch till next week
vsb replied to MattScott's topic in General Discussion Archive
what are you looking for we got the announcement last week “eac/riot patch is next week” -
thanks for bringing up another issue with riot it’s not really as simple as “if you don’t like riot don’t play it” because at this point we’ve moved on to “if you want access to 90% of the new content added to apb then play riot” ive spoken at length about chasing after new players while ignoring veterans/catering to veterans while ignoring new players so i won’t repeat myself too much, but riot’s been in development for about a year now and as of the last public test it was probably 60-70% finished as a mode - the basic mechanics are (mostly) all there but it’s an unpolished mess if riot continues to get a majority of focus and i choose not to play, how long will i have to wait before there’s a significant content addition to action districts? i guess we’ll have a rough estimate wednesday (assuming there isn’t another delay) when we see how much has been done to riot since the last public test

holy crap there’s a lot of misinformation in this brick of text

What 3 things would you like to bring back from RTW days?
vsb replied to Seedy's topic in General Discussion Archive
did rtw have a faster top speed? iirc we’re locked to the current top speed because of how the districts are built; going too much faster causes extreme loading issues -

taking your (hopelessly naive) statement to the logical extreme in order to highlight how ridiculous it is you don’t seem to understand how difficult, if not impossible, it is to “catch” a ddoser - it’s not like someone sending anthrax through the postal service, or making threatening phone calls, or sending spam emails about nigerian princes with cash flow problems trawling through the hundreds, if not thousands, if not millions of completely random ordinary computers (probably including yours seeing as how you know nothing) involved in a ddos attack takes a lot of time and resources and will probably just end up leading to some anonymous doofus who rents out botnets to other people (bonus difficulty points if the doofus or the botnet are located in another country), and the actual ddoser will just turn around and rent another from someone else -

undiluted cringe -
it’s very popular because a select few games made it big using the battle royale model and now everyone thinks it’s the new easy money guarantee this is like apb quitting it’s full time job to try and become a famous streamer

there is no “when it’s not” in the case of the tutorial, you boot up the game and the tutorial is there end of story so obviously in this case the general public is derisive towards someone who apparently hasn’t even bothered to look at the game they’re playing -

default key is T iirc, but since you had to have consciously turned it off you should probably know that -

“just put terrorists in jail and terrorism will stop” ok bud -
at this point deleting riot would be a bigger mistake than continuing with riot there's too much dev time and too much publicity involved with riot for orbit to just say "ok sry riot cancelled" without massive (relative to apb) bad pr

good thing that’s not who i quoted if i had to choose? yes i’d prefer to have toxic players that don’t justify and validate their toxicity by blaming others -

and yet once the mission ended the silvers stayed and some of the golds left you're free to amaze us all with your suggestions for magically making fight club "fair" for every threat, unless of course you don't have any and just want to whine -

vsb replied to I-Reaper-I's topic in General Discussion Archive
honestly, i’d rather not have players who get upset over “‘gg ez’ or ‘ROLLED AND SMOKED BOYS’ or ‘GG IZIPIZI’ or ‘GG trash OP’” because in my anecdotal experience said players are usually just as toxic, the only difference is they tend to frame themselves as the victims - afking against “hackers”, teamkilling because “no one is helping”, whining about “op” weapons that they’ve never used and don’t understand, etc actual harassment like extensive griefing/teamkilling or death threats/slurs in chat is a separate matter and while it would be nice if the ingame harassment /report function was a little closer to real-time GM contact, i don’t see any implementation of that not getting drowned in “x called me a ‘hvr camper fuzzy bunny’ pls ban” spam reports - and then we’ll be right back here with the mean-words-are-bad portion of the community mad because GMs aren’t doing anything even as they clog the system for actual harassment issues -

you are stupid all i’ve suggested is a way to ensure that any player - regardless of skill level - is basically guaranteed at least 400JT per week, and probably a better understanding of apb gameplay (without the “pressure” of missions) in the process fc is the closest thing apb has to free-for-all pvp and it’s very clearly described as such, i see no reason why it should have a “baby mode” option to coddle lower threat players - if they want to play against “fair” opp then they can go and do missions -

vsb replied to I-Reaper-I's topic in General Discussion Archive
this is an unsolvable issue that any pvp game with skill ranking has, while it would be nice to have more active GMs i'd rather they focus on actual problems instead of mean words i'd also disagree that apb is more toxic than csgo - there's generally only a few (if any) of these people per apb district, whereas in csgo you hop from match to match and there's almost always someone spazzing over voip -

im pretty sure the hvr is a 2slot too, seeing as its silenced edit: 2slot guns are just fine for anyone at any gameplay stage tbh, 3rd slots are almost always personal choice non-meta mods anyway -
