    Who's here thinking all the banned cheaters are going to get unbanned yet again as it happened multiple times before. At this point they might as well remove the anti cheat entirely...

    They've only ever done a mass unbanning once, when they obtained the game from the previous team, though?

    Care to at least elaborate exactly which part of the config you put in your game? I bet I and many others have been using it for months with no issues.

    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.

    EAC has delivered at least a handful of questionable bans over the past 4-5 months among many bans that made perfect sense. How exactly did you come to the conclusion that it was a config that caused the ban and also why my config but not others' who distribute the exact same or similar files? Please provide at least a shred of evidence of this claim. As it currently stands, it is baseless.

    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.

    This is complete misinformation for several reasons but I'll address some of them here:

     

    1. If anyone bothered to read through the literal first two sentences in the config's github documentation, you would know that every single file in the config is vetted and approved by multiple LO staffers before it makes it to the public. If anything in it ever became bannable it would be removed immediately and I would address it on my discord and on the github page as well as on my stream.

     

    2. You cannot get banned for configs in APB, even for upk edits such as the black sky config which is "technically" not allowed and is something I am NOT distributing in my files publicly. Also, if my config were to become bannable then every other config would become bannable as well because it uses a lot of similar/same files as other config makers.

     

    3. Little Orbit has no reason to ban anyone for configs because they've already demonstrated multiple times that they are able to simply block files they don't want us to tamper with and even when you do, it simply gives you a client mismatch and a kick back to the login screen. It will never ban you for anything like that because they realise that configs are needed to play the game properly at this stage.

     

    And no, I'm not banned. I literally played last night. I've simply been short on time due to work and real life and haven't had time to stream in the past few days. Please fact-check before spreading blatant misinformation.

    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.

    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.

    But if you want me to be blunt, I don't think LO has any obligation to give anything to console players beyond account migration.

    So you have zero capacity for empathy with other people. Good to know that you're a trashy person.

    It's G1's mess. /shrug

    It became LO's mess when they bought the game. Literal basic common sense.

    This is an active conversation internally, and it's something I want to do. We just haven't come up with what the reward will be yet. Stay tuned.

    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).

    Imagine each seller listing 100 of the same item and there are 50 sellers. For example Nitro booster 3. Youd have to get through 500 listings for it.

    Sort by price, and then buy the lowest price option (because you have a brain, use it). There's no issue in your example, and this solution already works in the current game.

    I would say the restriction is fine. It prevents the market from being flooded with 500 copies of each thing being sold. Granted now in 2024 with how low the pop is that really isnt an issue but back in the day it did keep things somewhat in control.

    If someone putting up hundreds of listings is an issue, then the issue isn't availability of items to be sold. The issue in that case lies with the marketplace itself, generally a lack of user-indicated filters.

    This is already done as its common practice with every anti-cheat on the market, same goes for Hardware ID bans, these however are very easy to get around for just about any cheater as the cheats will provide you with the means to spoof your IP/HWID.

    No legitimate anti-cheat uses IP bans in this day and age, what're you smoking? Dynamic IP address assignment (the standard for internet service) means you can just cycle your router and get a new IP. For the same reason, IP bans result in banning completely innocent people, because ISPs just recycle the same addresses on a rotation.
