Keyboard & Mouse, I assume.

But anyone with any modicum of common sense knows none of those things are on the table and aren't going to be. Why are gamers obsessed with considering themselves persecuted? Because we're not. We really aren't, like.

Car Spawner and Car Surfer were not in the game at launch. They were put in at least a couple of years after launch.

I know, we have this wonderful, unique customisation system and all people are concerned about is whether they can draw feminine features with it. Come on, guys. Could we elevate ourselves beyond the level of cavemen who've just found out how to draw by daubing their faeces on walls?

I actually recently thought to myself that there's probably too many weapons for a 100m draw distance and sub 1 second ttk for them to be perfectly balanced, but you can't really go removing stuff people have paid money for. And the most the best weapons are free at current anyway. And also, the explosive weapons? Really man? They're not broken. They have useful niches and can be occasionally annoying to play against, but most regular weapons are better in terms of practical mission to mission usage.

Is it impossible to weed the unjust from the just though? How were Matt and the new support guys able to tell there were unjust bans? There was obviously some level of record keeping that was able to tell them that, I doubt they just took players at face value when they emailed support with "I got unfair ban :(" as soon as they saw the new owners. I'd say they could theoretically go through the old bans and separate out the just from the unjust, but it would probably take an exceptionally long time, that, understandably, they don't have. It feels like a bit of a slap in the face that all these people who did cheat will get a second chance when there so many people who didn't blow their first chance despite very little incentive to play cleanly in the last 18 months or so. But ultimately, whether it screws the game or not will depend on the effectiveness of Battleye.

Okay so, if we take the logic of "if you haven't done something, you don't care about it and your opinion on it is valueless" that you're expressing here, then we all better stop talking about APB completely, because I'm fairly sure none of us have been involved in the production of an online TPS lately.

Maybe they just don't want that 'bad taste' you speak of plastered all over the game all the time? Maybe they it's crasse and might be potentially off-putting for some potential new players? There's more to this decision than "it's a 18+ / mature rated game, titties should be allowed everywhere". There are plenty of other places you can look at or draw feminine features.

This is pretty much exactly what is going to happen, imo. The only thing is if Battleye does its job they won't cheat for very long and won't have a leg to stand on if they try and claim they were one of the false bans.

Dev Package I assume is Devlar, which gave extra health, speed, Car Surfer before there was Car Surfer, and Air Control to Revoe and a couple of others for an event. Old Dev team said Air Control was shelved because you'd have to completely rebuild parts of the districts to account for the extra places you can get to with it. I think they may have pulled the code out of the game completely when Goat got into it. Don't see much else that isn't in the game in that list.

Rapid 99's rushed live transcript of it: MrChan's abridged version: It is worth watching the whole thing. Matt seems very clued in.

Matt gave a broad overview of what order they want to do things in the Q&A with Kempington, no dates atm: First part will be "infrastructure": - New Support & Forums - New anti-cheat - New two-factor account authentication Second part is "unification" - Bringing PC versions to Unreal 3.5 and unifying the PC & Console codebases. - Announcement on this in 1-2 weeks. - Unreal 4 is being worked on. No timescale was given on this. Third is dealing with critical mechanics. Examples mentioned during the Q&A: Weapon Balance Threat system & dethreating Prestige/Noteriety Fourth is 'minor' content patches. Clothing etc. Lastly 'major' content including a new map/district.

A practical turbodiesel wagon with shocks hard enough to give you permanent back problems. (It does make it fun to throw it around corners considering it weighs 1700kg though) "Appreciating classic" according to people who are into them. And they say this with a straight face whilst these things change hands for about 1000 euro... Reminds me how much I want a decent Sportwagon in APB

They'll just move it.

Actually, you said "More likely people with rather questionable bans or bans for something else than cheating" would be unbanned. I'm pretty certain that questionable and non-cheating bans do not compromise 'most' bans (especially when Matt was specific that most people who were banned for cheating will be unbanned). Unless he clarifies / rolls back a little, my interpretation is that a lot of people who were blatant are going to get their accounts back. Start picking names of the list lads, they're probably coming back: https://ffbans.org/search/R:200-255 HappyMandy Ashley Ccoca-Colaa Shall I keep going? Ray - sorry: TankBal will probably get his old accs back. I'm not complaining per se, it is what it is, but to say 'nah it'll only be questionable bans' is inaccurate in my opinion.

MattScott said in the Q&A that most players banned for cheating would be unbanned after Battleye is put in place.

A few caps: I like the tattoos I have, but I feel the arms are a bit unbalanced, left is waaay busier than the right. Might do something about it next time I feel like burning another Premium code. I also have a rib tattoo that need to make an outfit for, none of my existing ones show it.

Having a YouTube channel called "APB is Trash Trash" where you upload vids of yourself triggerbotting and /reporting every time you die is probably not going to help you.

You do realise where most of that -300 has come from, right?

Calling them stupid *snip* = a good way to get what you want.

Probs. I'd prefer to keep it, personally (Altais deserved his -400), but inevitably you just end up with tit for tat dislikes which the moderation team will get sick of removing. I know I did when I GMd Football Manager Live.

Any possibility of custom tagger symbols in the future? So if you shoot someone with a weapon that has the Tagger mod equipped, your own symbol appears over their head instead of the generic crosshair?

Zombie, are you trying to break Altais' record from the old forum for most dislikes?

Come on guys, let's not fall for the obvious sockpuppet account.
