there are also people making a living by typing 30 second ai prompts, things are priced to what people will pay for them

start the timer boys, let’s see how long eac keeps the silvers from hackusating

it’s unplayable - the stutter happens no matter how short the timing is, decreasing the time between flatlining just makes fps completely unstable

damn bro that’s crazy, rtw is in the trailer too, i guess they didn’t go bankrupt 10 years ago after all

you should stop talking to whoever keeps telling you all this wrong information

smells like eac?

i get the mindset, but for perspective - can you tell me how many people from "back in the day" are still playing? And out of those old players still playing, how many are spending money? the casual players don't necessarily need to be listened to but they do need to be placated, because the game needs them to stick around long enough to open their wallets

i admire the confidence bro you wrong as hell, but the confidence is nice

fairfight was used to manually ban people for non-cheating offenses while claiming all fairfight bans were for cheating and there were false cheating detections due to fairfight not being properly maintained by g1 - these have been confirmed by orbit as reasons for lifting fairfight bans, altho we were never given any specific numbers or names afaik keep in mind that ffbans was a third party website that scraped the ban announcements off twitter, people could and would say whatever they wanted on the site

we’re at a point where no single anticheat is enough, the optimal setup imo is a client side anticheat to stop people downloading free shit from the first page of google, and a server side anticheat to catch those that bypass the client side anticheat - in apb’s case, eac and fairfight battleye is first and foremost an anticheat the reason you get a message from battleye is because it’s integrated into the login system orbit discontinued eac the first time over price, it wasn’t free eac has client side functions that scan files for changes

you can’t use the 45 good enough for this nerf to affect you anyway

damn

rage quit or mad

people still pay attention to chat?

it’s frustrating because it feels like little orbit has given up on weapon balance when it’s something that could be done right now to hold onto player engagement until the big issues are tackled there’s been dozens of detailed total weapon balance suggestions submitted by decent players, just pick one and spend an hour per week copy pasting stat values - there doesn’t seem to be a clear vision for combat at orbit, so yoink someone else’s, experiment now so that when (if) players come back for the big fixes the core gameplay feels different enough for them to stay

there’s already a disturbingly large group of people who harass the better apb players on a regular basis because they’re convinced anyone above silver is cheating same thing happens to certain streamers now imagine if those people could prevent players and streamers from playing apb without breaking the tos

most injectable cheats use client side data, which is only available up to ~100m for player models, because that’s all that’s needed to render characters TDM tags are serverside, and afaik they aren’t linked to character models; the server says “place tag here” and your client says “okay!” no matter what - it’s why TDM tags have such frequent desync issues

joker tickets were decoupled from the other mission rewards years ago

lets just get rid of you instead

you think ea or rockstar want this trash heap lol

imagining private apb servers gave me ptsd flashbacks to ffbans
