Manual review requires manual effort by a person. With LO being comprised of only a few people, it's obviously not feasible to manually review the probably thousands of banned accounts to find the handful that were actually falsely banned. It's much more reasonable to just globally unban all banned accounts, and then review new bans as they happen. Not a complicated thing to understand.

Will never be a thing, because such a feature would primarily impact (negatively) the segment of the playerbase that LO primarily panders to. Those of us who such a feature would benefit are expected to just suffer without recourse so that that segment gets to have a fun time.

That is one of the philosophical questions of video game bans, and one that has no definite answer. You do realize that it is possible for people to change, right? Granted, not everyone will, and it's debatable whether those that possess the capacity to change are the majority or minority. However, the fact remains that some people do, and it's morally acceptable to give those people redemption.

Gotta love blatant lies on the internet. This is why I haven't hopped back on yet. They claim they'll hear out appeals, but they just leave you on read and ghost the support ticket. There are no appeals, doesn't matter if your ban was legit or not. If it wasn't for this unban wave, my account would still be banned due to a false flag triggered by using Flaws's config. MattScott explicitly stated that choosing not to play missions where you suspect the opposing team is cheating is acceptable, and will incur no penalties. Source: I directly asked him when LO took over, and he responded with that statement.

FFA is a similar case to OCA Whisper. It's based on an existing weapon, but it's not functionally identical. Where the Whisper has 20m increased range, the FFA has reduced zoom angle when ADS. The increased range on Whisper is mostly a meme, but the reduced zoom angle on FFA is actually quite useful. I hesitate to say it's "strong", but it's definitely a noticeable advantage.

Considering EAC was handing out automated false bans to people, what exactly did you expect them to do?

Notice the posting dates, that thread didn't exist when I posted this one. Was posted ~10 minutes after mine, amusingly.

They've only ever done a mass unbanning once, when they obtained the game from the previous team, though? Within DefaultInput.ini: +Bindings=(Name="",Command="abandonmission",bAllowInScaleformUI=True,Group="UI") Within Options.int: GameAction_abandonmission=Abandon Mission Was curious about binding /abandonmission, so that's the only part(s) I took.

10+ years playing entirely with the vanilla client, no issues. Less than 24 hours after putting in one part of your configs: It was the config edit. I don't generally discount coincidences, but in a case like this, there's really no room for misinterpretation.

It doesn't matter if they're vetted. False positives are false positives literally because it's unintended behavior/results. It's the unfortunate side effect of automating things that absolutely should never be automated, you sometimes have a situation where the system goes rogue and causes problems. Additionally, it is absolutely important to spread this info, so that all involved (ie, the users of your config) can continue to make educated decisions with the most updated information available. People are using your config on the basis that nobody's been banned for it, so despite being grey area it's effectively "safe" to use. However, there has now been a ban explicitly caused by your configs, and that must be made known. Whether it becomes an ongoing issue, or is just an unfortunate one-off hiccup.

Considering its false positive bans, it likely isn't consistently happening to everyone instantly. One of those "not at matter of if, but when" kind of things.

Just a heads up.

It's a 4 shot kill out past 50m, with pixel accuracy on the first couple shots while full auto. Plus, it still deals decent hard damage despite the nerf. Are there better options? Of course. Far from worthless though.

Artemis is already available on ARMAS. However, the significantly more attractive Bendis and Diana are not available for players to obtain AFAIK. Personally, I would buy the Diana (despite already owning the Artemis, as I own at least one copy of every functional weapon in the game). I dislike the lack of any stock on the Artemis, and I also dislike wire stocks like the Bendis has. However, the full stock of the Diana... yes, please. According to APB:Db, they are already statted out correctly (identical to Artemis) and already exist in the game (just aren't listed on ARMAS yet). The only thing that is up in the air is if they have models, but even if they don't, I doubt that would take much work to complete considering the Artemis already exists. Then you'd get people buying "the new thing" as you can always reliably expect, making that work worth it. Easy funds for the game, cool new toys for the players to mess around with. Win/win, as they say. EDIT: Just make sure to leave them as full 3 slot open slot, like the Artemis. Putting preset mods in would be a fatal mistake, and make them worthless.

Thanks boss.

Speak of the devil. No worries, was just wondering. It's a good resource, would suck to lose it.

Temporary outage, or did Speedz drop it after all these years?

There's plenty they could do to monetize the game at next to zero cost for themselves, but they are apparently terrified to do so.

So you have zero capacity for empathy with other people. Good to know that you're a trashy person. It became LO's mess when they bought the game. Literal basic common sense.

Give all console characters a voucher that can be turned in at Anne for a single legendary of choice (skips the chance mechanic, just outright pays out the full permanent legendary). Or if that's too much effort to implement, give them all an FFA 5.56 R&D III. It's the single most desirable legendary in the game, and would be the perfect payout for the console peeps. Even if an individual player doesn't personally like the gun, due to its value they could easily trade it for another legendary of their choice (or multiple legendaries, depending).

Now compare that to the couple hundred bucks it takes to keep the servers running. If you don't understand how much of a profit that is, you're beyond help.

That would first require them to acknowledge other accounts as belonging to you, which they adamantly refuse to do. I've tried getting them to release my CBT account back to me, but nothing but crickets in return.

Game is on maintenance mode, it costs nothing to keep everything running. LO probably made a fuckton of profit off this release, because people are idiots.
