    @DarIeenko

     

    Just give it time! Be patient. 

     

    A hater might of caught up a violation here and there overtime and made a compilation to make the case harder to solve. Who knows!

     

    There is multiple possibilities to why the nature of this ban.

     

    They can't possibly explain fully publicly but hope that they'll give you an answer that you comprehend!

     

    Hope the best comes out of it!

    Keep hope!

    Hi APB Community & Administration,

     

    The suggestion is simple and was probably asked many times before ... 

     

    Since population has arise at a substantial level!

    Please for the love of god add a queue system with sound notification when you are tabbed out of the game so we can be notified that we are entering a district of any sort.

     

    Hope it was clear! 😄

    Thank you for your assistance on this matter!

     Have a good day!

     

    AND  may i say I DO LOVE APB RELOADED A LOT!

    Love the changes can't wait to see how its going to affect some peoples.

     

    Next patch : 

     

    Stabba - PIG nerf. Stamina Damage 950 ???

     

    Remote Detonator  : Detonates your Deployed Vehicle after 2s + 0.05s per meter ???

     

    Colby PMG 28 & any variant similar to it ex: CBMP-45 'Dart' :

     

    Either drop the health damage  200>150 or rise up the fire interval a little...? PMG and its variant models are the only one in the sub-machine guns category that are doing 200 health damage.. the distance in health damage with the others is quite significant.

     

    Just those 3 are massively abused in different encounters.

     

    Thanks

    FYI I don't know why its relevant to have HUD notification of an Heat 5 in every districts in general when you've disabled the possibility to interact outside of mission with it while those Heat 5 are being within a mission(Financial/Waterfront). Minimize the irritation of the HUD by minimizing anything awfully too big. I wish there was an option to just simply resize anything in the HUD to our liking. Take Black Desert Online by default not the same type of game but yeah you get the point..

    Hi all,

     

    I have updated Lixil's original post with more details. These are large databases, so they are taking quite a bit of time to backup, copy, and then restore.

     

    We have XB1 North America up. Logging in is very slow for some reason, and we're troubleshooting that. There are also only 5 districts with no threat limitations in Financial and Waterfront because the XB1 population is so small. I think PS4 North America will be next up. We are waiting on the database to finish restoring. All EU environments had to be recreated from scratch, so those are taking a bit longer than expected. PC databases are being restored right now.


    Thanks,
    Matt

    I would just wish that the threat limitation wouldn't even be a thing on PC as well were not in a state where we have the luxury to have a threat limitation in the moment being. 

     

    Why not testify it for a week and see for yourself if its gonna be a burden or a revelation.

     

    Regards,

    Back to the topic: This thread's subject is a moot point from the beginning.

     

    At first I thought it would be ok to joke about it and lighten up the mood, but unfortunately, people took this forum thread too seriously, and even moderators had to step in.

    We are a small community that is getting smaller every day. Stop bickering to each other, become friends and coexist.

     

    The poll's question is about kicking those that are loitering action districts:

    1. What exactly defines loitering?
      Racing?
      Smashing stores and stealing from pedestrians?
      Hunting bounties?
      Working towards daily Joker ticket objectives that require you to deliver cars or run over a high amount of pedestrians?
      RPing?
    2. How will the game be able to detect them automatically?
    3. What guarantees, even if such a mechanism is built in the game, that the space that will be made to the district by kicking them, will be filled by people that will be entered in the next mission with them?

    Either the original poster didn't think it through, either his intentions are different, and his goal is not such a mechanism to be implemented, but to masquerade his displease about the actions of specific individuals that he doesn't approve.

     

     

    I'm glad finnaly someone as brought this up because from that i can realise a little too late that i haven't elaborated my opinion on the matter and just made it look really drastic. If i would of elaborated by the same opponent time my opinion..this topic would of probably then be moved to " Suggestions & Ideas " which would of broken the spirit of having a discussion. I'm glad and not at the same time of what i've seen in this topic but as i mention you can't please everyone and you never will be capable of... 

     

    I've been reading every posts that were valuables.. i was just hoping someone would of just ask these specific questions earlier.

     

    1. A : What i define as loitering is someone that is not having any apparent purpose.

     

    By the contrary racing as Kempington does once in a while is an event with a purpose. I've seen multiple events with cars and i'm not against them. Its actually an event that promote a certain type of activity that entertain an audience.

     

    Smashing stores and stealing from pedestrians is a purpose since its a mechanism that was introduced by the developers.

     

    Hunting bounties sure is too but yet it isn't as frequent as it can be so.. is it valuable to standby and do nothing while you could probably catch a bounty while being on a mission since of the frequency of it?

     

    Your next point, one of them is an achievement so yes obviously its not considering loitering since you are reaching for a specific goal. If the other one would exist then yes obviously since your GOAL is to GAIN a specific kind of currency in game to ACQUIRE something you're wishing to possess.

     

    2.A : I certainly don't want any automated mechanism to be involved with this because i doubt that such a thing could judge in a fair way what isn't considered loitering and what is. I think that reporting is quite enough and that it will be investigated by a person with common sense.

     

    3.A : There is no guarantees obviously and only time and statistic could tell but i doubt that we have that luxury. 

     

    I'm really thankful for your post honestly, 

     

    Hopefully this clarify even further my opinion once again,

     

    Regards,

    From the first post i made it sure did sound selfish to ruins everyone fun for my own opinion upon a certain situation.

     

    We all have different opinions and not everyone will be happy over it. You can't satisfy everyone.

     

    I'm just trying to find an alternative to a problem that could possibly have a sudden impact due to the fact that our playerbase isn't what it was back when the game was released. 

     

    As some of you said " i don't know why its a problem now when it wasn't a few years ago "  We just aren't in the same timeframe and need to realize that. Since we aren't probably having the same luxury with our population. You might not see it now but it might be inevitable & then what will it be.. what will we do..?

     

    Finding a solution now instead of when it will be too late is better isn't?

     

    Have a nice day

    Great - now the "only" thing that's needed is the removal of the front-facing District Select with panel display and making Advanced District Selection the standard interface! - because when you press the images, you have no control over which instance you are sorted into, as the game will pick any available instance for you.

     

    It could simply be revamped and enlarge to be capable of selecting a Non-PVP instance from a PVP instance ... I doubt that there would be a struggle here..

    if this issue does steadily grow over the months, doesnt that mean more and more of the playerbase feels that "loitering" is the more enjoyable activity? 

    So be it if it has to be so. I doubt that the game by itself was made for this specific type of entertainment tho..

    Your Poll

    A. Pick my choice cuz its the right choice

    B. Everyone else who doesnt see my point is the problem so lets insult them

     

    Now I remember why I willingly vanished from this community for so long....

    I've been addressing the matter in a neutral way. You're the one judging this as an insult. Sorry to hear it.

    First and foremost, I'd like to say that it's honestly pathetic how the choices available in the poll are blatantly shaming those who disagree and painting their disagreement as coming from only one position. OP, you could have at least tried to act like you don't have personal bias here. If we're at that level of maturity, you might as well set the options to "Yes" and "No because I'm a stupid doodoo-head".

     

    "Playing casually in another instance" - you're not proposing that to be an option though. You did not propose a bottom limit after which the "10 minutes to get opposed" would kick in. It's clear that the proposed "solution" of kicking players out to other districts would be applied to all instances regardless of their playercount - effectively killing any possibility of freely exploring the districts on one's own.
     

    Additionally, kicking out "loitering" players would serve as an active impediment to any community-organised events.

    This would kill driving time trials. This would kill any car-related events. This would kill any fighting events (for example, WitchQueen's Snubnose fighting sessions). These are already not officially supported by the game's mechanics - and adding a time limit to playing in an instance when unopposed would only make this even harder to execute than it already is.

     

    The truth of the situation is that there is no single correct way to play a game. (And before anyone tries to be silly here - no, cheating is not a valid way of playing.) This is why players and communities create self-imposed challenges, tournaments, and other alternate ways of deriving fun from a virtual world. This basic idea is why speedrunning exists as a whole - gameplay focused on an alternate goal, in a different manner of gameplay.

    This thread is advocating for the implementation of a system which kicks out players who do not match OP's definition of "playing the game".

     

    To this attitude I would like to give advice: stop policing the entertainment of other people. Kicking them out for not adhering to your idea of playing is essentially as if you were playing with other kids in a sandbox, only to rip their toys out of their hands and scream "THIS IS NOT HOW YOU MAKE A SAND CASTLE! GO AWAY! I DON'T WANT YOU HERE!".

     

    (Plus, the issue of them "filling up slots in an instance" 1) implies that their presence is worthless to you [what a wholesome approach, isn't it?], 2) will stop being a problem when district phasing gets introduced in the future.)

    You're clearly not in favor & it's ok i'm not trying to dictate how it must be.. ense why it is a poll and why this is a discussion to elaborate on a possible solution to reduce the inevitable that will probably happens if someone induce this to a specific district. You can decide to not vote and to establish your approval or unapproval by commenting like you just did.. sorry if the way i created the poll is bothering you.

     

     

    "would be applied to all instances regardless of their playercount " 

      

    Obviously it would be unless they would clearly decide to generate one instance of each as a Non-pvp session.  By the same opponent time this would solve your inquiries about the community-organised events & ect. 

     

    " stop policing the entertainment of other people."

     

    I'm just trying to establish " THE " perfect solution for the playerbase that were having in the moment. You might not see it at the moment but if this is something that grows over the months you won't be able to enjoy the other half of what the district is meant to be made for.. #PVP.

     

    Think about the bigger picture...

     

    Hope this clarify my point of view a little more.

    No. Some people enjoy player hosted events. Some people enjoy derping around in districts. Some people enjoyED Vegas jumping to hard to reach places, before OOB was implemented.

    APB is an open-world'ish game - and one of the most alluring aspects of an open world game is the open world. And this is for many people best enjoyed by not being in missions.

     

    As long as we don't have any districts designed for non-mission activities, auto-kicking to Social for not missioning chase more people away than it will attract.

    Dividing a low populated game will be chasing more people away either way so what will it be..?

    Hi, @MattScott @Lixil

     

    I've noticed something that has been happening quite frequently and i'm concerned about it. I wanted the public opinion about that matter. 

    FYI : Keep Name & Shaming out of this discussion.

     

    Is it legitimate as a twitch streamer to take upon a casual playstyle in Action District and loiter for hours without engaging into a mission and ruining the capacity of that instance to produce a decent amount of missions against opponents?

     

    In my opinion : I think we need people to understand that if you do so you're automatically going to be moved to Social District after a certain amount of time of not queiung for missions.

     

    What would be the greatest amount to make them realize that? Using my method stated above  

     

    IMO. : 10 minutes of loitering without engaging into a mission against opponents is a good enough time, because our matchmaking isn't made for this low population.

     

    *Note* Whenever the instance is filled another instance need to emerge so those that are willing to just casually play can do so in another instance without having a penalty.

     

    The game is barely populated at the moment the last thing we need is players taking slots without engaging into the experience that APB Reloaded is meant to be.

    It might have been ok, if they can't drive the car up to your position. It's not like grenades wich have a fuse time of 3-5 seconds and can be dodged or survived. If you are doing a point or are at any place there's a wall or fence you'de have to climb to flee into the other direction you are simply dead. Also wehn you see the warning flash you are dead already and the audio doesn't work many times you die from it so...

    There's many situations and you're correct. I assume that raising the detonation a little would be adequate.

    It's a disgustingly effective way to cheese kills so I am all for increasing the Cooldown to something like 2 minutes with Premium. Also as a friendly reminder, the cooldown reduction that comes with premium should still be made baseline and available to all players.

    I'm not sure where you're going there but it seems really simple to understand... You want to basically get rid of the cooldown without premium that certain items are affected by to generalize it with one single cooldown?

    Even more important, they should increase the time it takes to explode the car. Most of the time you notice it's activated and you can't do a damn about it anymore because it's an Espacio with Explosives 3...

    - Detonates your Deployed Vehicle after 2s + 0.05s per meter.

     

    The audio warning and the lights flashing and the fact that you are anticipating the car of this specific person from looking at the scoreboard before attempting to engage in a fight next to his car.. i think that 2sec are quite enough as a warning tho but its my opinion. 

  22. Posted · Edited by jarko

    I've always wondered why remote detonator is given a cooldown of 1sec but the firebomb is given a cooldown of... 90sec with premium 180sec without premium.

     

    Its being abused quite a lot lately and it just is unconquerable to dodge this modification in certain situations.

     

    Thoughts?

    The illusion that something is bannable makes you think that you're more likely to be banned for such a sin but if you don't try you won't know. I'm not saying to take a risk but...yeah 

     

    Been seeing many peoples using it with no suspension or what so ever. 

     

    Whenever they will be encrypting the game's folder they won't have a necessity to worry about those things. They won't lose their playerbase and they won't be asked such a question on the forums anymore. 

     

    Simply.
