9 hours ago, MattScott said:2) What is cheating?
Some players might describe cheating as "gaining an unfair advantage over another player", and while that may be technically true, it's not an enforceable definition for me. In my opinion, there is no true way to level the playing field between players without one or the other having an advantage. One player will always have a faster computer or less latency. I would argue that is not a cheating topic, that's a match making topic.
For me, cheating is consciously tampering with a game to gain extra information or advantages which make it easier to win. That includes (but is not limited to) aimbotting, triggerbotting, wall hacking, and other forms of scripting.
While I appreciate the effort, your post does not address any of the hotly debated cheating topics, and only addresses the obvious, traditional ways of cheating ie. aimbot, esp etc.
For example, what is your opinion on client side file editing, like people changing the mission files to know the next stage and the next objective.
What is your opinion on using 3rd party software putting a crosshair overlay on the game so it's easier to aim certain guns?
What is your opinion on editing certain files to make players etc. easier to see in game?
Those are all topics that have been generating very heated exchanges from the playerbase for many many years and you should REALLY draw a line in them already.

That's ironic and kinda funny because the overwhelming majority of your game's player base is exactly that, underaged kids. lol

I do feel that it is enough problems with the servers at the moment.

My friends (from the US) that play on EU on a frequent basis (due to NA being so bad) tell me EU is better. My ping on EU is too high so I don't really enjoy playing there but the limited few times I did play on EU, i experienced the same kind of wrapping and then district crash as on NA. So I think it's similar and I don't think it's ddos... But then again maybe I'm just that unlucky. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -

Unbanned everyone even blatants and still only peak /pop of 400 rofl.
LO is not better. and this game is still dying.
Well, aren't you a bit overly pessimistic? I guess you haven't been gaped properly by G1st yet. I've played many of their games in the past, and had to draw the conclussion that they are just too shitty and too greedy of a company to reach a nice balance of anything. Surely fanboism is a thing, but so is a lack of patience in your case. You want to be constructive? Start logging the issues you receive on your end properly and send them over to LO as feedback, that my friend, they can use. Your needless bickering with more hopefull and perhaps from time to time overly excited people, is not. Neither appreciated.
It's like having one kid in the house walking around like a broken record about the OJ being gone. What are you bringing to the table I ask, other than the periodic: OMGROLFZERS you in denial about shit being shit! You uneducated much plox#fexdigamu
Not that I want to defend @Fortune Runner with his, well uneducated guess about networking issues being related to groceries and hardware on a philosophical level. But still, attitude dude... attidude
There's a fine line between being pessimistic and realistic tbh. but that's up to each person i guess.
There is nothing to send in this case though. This is not an isolated case for any one particular player. Them asking for /latencytest is really dumb and useless but I guess the CSR all copy paste from a script. The problem happens frequently enough all they have to do is have their "IT team" monitor it for a few hours at most and they can see it first hand themselves, which the CEO himself finally did so. After years of g1, we really don't ask for much tbh. It's not like we are asking for 128tic Faceit servers, all we ask is for the server to not act like this.
But you are right, trying to argue with someone who blatantly ignore facts and also doesn't seem to quite understand the word "inexcusable" is fruitless. -
cobra buff wow. hope that works out.

waterfront and financial were full so no idea why you said you couldn't play when we were on.
I've already said i was here back then sigh
ONCE AGAIN this is not G1 it is Little Orbit and you are projecting your malice to others unfairly which is your responsibility and yours alone.
don't like that i wont lie for you being a yes man? too bad. a few of us posted on this thread but you seem fixated on me because i wont lie for you.
little Orbit has not done anything to deserve such treatment from you and you know it. even today there is a sale for 50% off armas along with a g1c adjustment to 100 g1c instead of 80 plus 6 days free premium
THEY WERE NEVER OBLIGATED FOR THIS - they did it out of kindness and loyalty toward us
anyone can look at the dev stream and notice they care
I've never seen anyone this deep in denial about anything. "lie for me being a yes man" what?? lol what?? 0 sense again. Pls get glasses. Lie for me? about what? lol You are actually literally lying outta your teeth yourself , saying you "play everyday" yet somehow does not see the constant server problems which the ceo himself ADMITTED, and that server only lagged that ONE DAY the ceo was on. You obv does not play "everyday" and if you then wow, see a doctor about this extreme case of denial or something? I mean, see the forums and maybe /d chat and see how many people have this problem and not "just me"?
QuoteI've been on daily if you can't play in this i recommend upgrading from a potato.... like now ....seriously upgrade from a potato...it sucks to use it
only one day was unplayable in that lag and Matt already posted about it
That's literally what you said. You suggested I upgrade my potato AFTER the ceo himself admitted their server is performing like garbage and there is no excuse for it. "inexcusable", was his word. You obv read that thread he posted since you quoted it. So let me put this in a way you can understand, you suggested I should upgrade MY computer, in order to get THEIR server to perform properly. lol do you even read what you post. should prob start doing that.
also, upgrade my potato's cpu/gpu etc. to solve network issues? wat are u gonna suggest next, download some RAM from the internet to get 0ms ping? lol
On 7/3/2018 at 11:52 PM, BXNNXD said:gonna nitpick, but most internet providers have a clause stating they arent responsible, financially or legally, for any service interruptions - beyond sending out a truck if a line is down somewhere
true. usually they say something like "99% uptime". But if it goes down too frequently and/or for too long you can def request some credits back for your next statement. they usually oblige.

but from what i can make out wow you are seriously deluded.... it was never the way you described it.
there was packet loss back then and there is now. and back then the servers went down a lot in some cases overnight and a large amount of the next day
scammed? uh no its not a scam to buy an OFFICIAL PRODUCT .... it supports the game and pays the bills so it stays here.
and I've been on daily if you can't play in this i recommend upgrading from a potato.... like now ....seriously upgrade from a potato...it sucks to use it
only one day was unplayable in that lag and Matt already posted about it
also take the hint from all of us...... THIS ISN'T G1 so stop blaming Little Orbit for stuff that happened from G1's devs
as for saying what seems to be an attempted quote from Matt unbanning an individual player i have seen no evidence to support what you claim
as for the mass unbannings of possible unfair bans G1 did not have it set up right to where legit people were banned and some they couldn't tell properly so Little Orbit was fair and unbanned
to give some a second chance and others a fair chance since there were many flags that were not legit against players just as Little orbit already stated
Little Orbit has been open while you are seriously coming off as toxic troll
perhaps you should get a new pair of glasses.
if you had packet loss before it's ur isp's routing. packet loss is almost always isp's routing unless the ENTIRE district get it, like it happened since lo took over. and did u play in 2012? didn't answer the question. so I assume u still have no idea how bad it was so you have no comparison.
ROFL. Let's buy a service/product we can't use/enjoy. Do you pay bills irl at all? when you pay ISP for internet and it goes down multiple times daily for month do you not ask for credits back. when you buy a tv and it's DOA do u not ask for refund/return. "only ONE DAY unplayable" Are you for real? like, completely blind to what's been happening right in front of you..... and u call ME "deluded" LOL.
maybe go thru his post history and look for urself. or ask around.
"open" im not sure is the correct word, tho i will say they've been doing good in communication department. also I thought u were trolling since ur first post in this thread. but ok,

you are either forgetting or were not playing the past few years under g1 where the servers were either major lag or were down for in some cases HOURS at a time
no it wasn't better before
LOL wat. how does something like "we banned 50 ppl for cheating this past week" is "giving keys to your house and car" wat is this logic holysh1t. You can go to steam profiles and see who's VAC-banned, does that mean Valve gave away all the secrets to their AC. lolwat
Have you ever played this game in 2012? I guess not. district-wide wraps were happening about every 10-15 min. It was impressive if you could finish 1 mission without everyone rubberbanding. The districts also went down pretty much on a hourly basis. g1 did something which at least solved those problems to a somewhat workable extend. What we have right now though is pretty much the same, but with the added bonus of also having packet loss.
On 6/30/2018 at 1:55 AM, Fortune Runner said:more than g1 did in years....
and this is why we think you guys believe to be entitled ungrateful toxic trolls that need to be burned with fire
if you want things to speed up heres an idea.... get a job and support armas so it supports development....
you know... the p2w you type of guys complain about daily that supports apb? yeah that stuff
money makes things happen in the real world so contribute or shut up in the backseat so they can drive properly
do you know why they had to add the AC. Because they needed one so they can unban all the players without incurring too much wrath from the playerbase. Why unban all the players? Because they NEED the numbers back. Everyone knows the game has been bleeding players for the past number of years and they really need a bandaid solution to carry them over until they can maybe get something done with the mythical engine update. It really is not about "providing a fair playing environment for all players", that can be considered a side-effect. This is painfully obvious from Matt's handling of a certain player. He repeatedly said the ban was "well-documented" and should never be reversed, then he went ahead and unbanned the player. How is that any different from Tiggs' handling of many of the previous bans.
Also why are you recommending people to get scammed. They sell premium and guns yet you can not actually use any of them since the servers are so terrible and go down frequently. What they are doing selling premium while servers are in their current state is basically scam/fraud. They do not refund or compensate for downtimes obv, coz they will always use the excuse "factors outside of our control coz it's ddos" as excuse. Players like you are actually part of the reason why game devs get away with many of the bs things they do these days. You are like those ppl on Steam forums saying Devuno DRM doesn't affect performance and buying blindly into every game with it while ignoring there are countless proofs that it does affect the games in a very negative way. But please by all means, you go ahead and buy all their stuff on Armas. Looking at the numbers even after their mass unban, they are prob eating into their savings accounts these days.

1 hour ago, MattScott said:You'll have to excuse my ignorance, but I had not actually experienced rubberbanding. Until yesterday.
thx for your communication but how is this even possible. It's been happening maybe like 2 weeks since you guys took over. and it's been happening pretty much EVERYDAY. And according to the other thread your CM has been in-game and apparently she had "fun". None of your team reported this issue to you that warrantied some kind of investigation either on your part or your engineer's part? I play maybe like 1 or 2 times in a week and it doesn't matter when I'm on, it lags, and often the district ends up crashing. And I've seen this in early morning with no /pop, afternoon with some /pop , and evening with some decent /pop. Also it happens everywhere including fight club.
and what can you say about packet loss? how come never had packet loss literally since G1 revived this game 2012 until you guys took over?

the only thing LO is doing better is communication.

lol all the disklikes OP get. all the fanbois is unreal.
The servers are the WORST they've EVER been. they are actually worse than G1's time, and somehow worse than 2012 when we had server-wide wraps every few minutes. Constantly wrapping, d/cing, lagging, crashing and 10%-20% packet loss. G1's terrible mitigation never gave me packet loss btw.

16 hours ago, MattScott said:We will not name and shame banned players, and we will not provide numbers on how many people we have banned.
Thanks,
MattCan you provide a logical explanation to this. I'm still confused as to why this is called "name and shame". If you do not have any evidence and accuse someone of cheating that is "name and shame". But in this case the player is already convicted and banned for CHEATING. How is that still "name and shame"? doesn't even make any sense.
Also how are you handling other forms of abusive behavior. like excessive trolling, griefing, harassing, bullying w/e.
9 hours ago, MrChan said:How quickly their detected is more important anyway. A guy hacking for 30 minutes, then getting a 24 hour ban from BattlEye, and then hacking for another 30 minutes, followed by a 1 week ban and so on until his ban is so long that he rerolls, is better than a guy hacking for 10 hours before being FFd and then rerolling for another 10 hours of hacking before he's FFd again.
How is that "better". it's not like he has any downtime since you can just reroll in 5 min.

What is the current state of the game? Has it changed significantly or remained stagnant? Any players from Joker East still playing? I will probably wait for the game to get back into the swing of things before I start playing against but I am getting the itch to play again.
Anyway, just wanted a reason to post in the forums again.
servers back in 2012 - wraps. lags. but no packet loss.
servers today - sometimes wraps. constantly lags. 10 packet loss ALL THE TIME.
no, it's not worth coming back. not yet at least.
APB 2022 Roadmap Discussion
in General Discussion Archive

lol. this is hilariously sad. When LO took over, I said these people must be completely insane to buy a dead game like APBR. Then after they posted their direction of the game, I said it's a joke and they are no better than G1. I was downvoted to hell and people told me to STFU because "LO already doing more than G1 ever did" and that "LO will save APB". KEKW. Then over the years sometimes I browse this forum briefly and see the same people are now posting negative comments about APB and LO in general, which makes me lol and smh. Hate to say it but "I told you so".
My gosh that sounds very smug of me. and I do feel very smug. I apologize.
Now the EU is finally dead, the question is "what is even the point now?" Seriously, what is even the point of fixing a game no one plays? I see a lot of posters with registration years from 2013-2014, I bet none of you have this game installed atm. I certainly don't, haven't in years, and none of my friends do either.
When you maintain a game, you need to have a way to keep the old player base, while attract new players. But what does APBR even have that can keep the old players and get new players in? Literally nothing. I bet a lot of people are going to say "the customization". True, APBR is unique in that aspect. But how many players play for that? Most people just wanna hop on and kill some sh1tz.
The game needs a complete rebrand, relaunch, on a new, modern engine that runs well on modern hardware. None of this will happen, so again, what is even the point of fixing something no one uses?
TBH, in the years they wasted on trying to port it to new engine, a competent dev team could probably have developed APB 2 from scratch. But I honestly do not believe LO's dev team is competent enough in order to pull that off.
^ this post is really spot on.
^ I genuinely want to know the answer to this question too.
