Why not add useful criticism rather than just lol it isn't adding anything of substance to the discussion and is just wasting space. There that's my criticism to your post. If that's the case then why do people complain about always being lasered? They should still miss shots even with an aimbot, so it wouldn't be that bad. Anyways if i am wrong i apologize for being misinformed, but I've never seen a games code not be hackable when it comes to spread and countless other things like accuracy. Anyways now we are way off topic. I don't think anything's gonna be done about it honestly, they haven't made any significant changes to combat toxicity yet and they won't. If so, they would have to ban half the community if not more, every district i join it's always a fight between a bunch of out of control ego's, people complaining about hackers and the occasional troll that spouts the same regurgitated nonsense they all say. (Jericho btw.) I rarely see anything positive in the district chat.

There needs to be a spectator mode or something along those lines so we can watch and figure out whos cheating easier (It doesn't have to be anything crazy, in fact they sorta already have it, but you can't move the camera and it's so short you can't get any real info.) If we are spectating and the persons bullets have like no spread then it's a clear case... As for the griefers in open districts. My fix for them is something that should be fairly easy to implement since you should have some coding already there. You know how you can't use other peoples cars when not in a mission? Why not add a few more hooks to it the string. That makes any player in a vehicle, disable other players hit boxes and collisions only when they aren't in a mission with said person. This would make it so they can't run into or troll other people that are in missions. Eliminating this particular frustration and cutting back on having to ban trolls from this potential method, perhaps saving you a few players for the player-base in the process. Now the biggest and more controversial suggestion on how to fight cheaters. It's simple, really, besides anti-cheat this game is long overdue for a down-scaling of it's difficulty curve. What i mean by this is every gun has too much bloom. Hackers don't have any spread or recoil. Thus giving us zero chance of ever fighting back no matter the weapon since this game uses a bloom system that's overly aggressive and flawed. Trying to fight them with anti-cheat is useless and ultimately pointless. As they will just bypass it in a few days making all that time you spent effectively wasted(Not saying don't do it, but adding other ways they can't circumvent is better yah?). Lowering the bloom and making weapons more accurate helps even the playing field and lets reaction time player a bigger role. Which will give really good players a chance of beating hackers. And giving lesser skilled players a fighting chance against hackers and people that have played this game since release. I imagine lo is in a tough spot. They can't ban people because the playerbase is too small. Every potential player outweighs the current risk of banning them instead. My fix of making the games difficulty curve easier skirts around this issue, by trying to make the game easier for newer players thus potentially growing the base making those bad apples much less common, as there are more honest players. The toxicity will always remain, it's just limiting them from doing serious harm to the game. Them cussing and bullying someone with words isn't gonna make them quit. Having trolls interfering with their missions when not being apart of said mission will. As the playerbase grows you can start carelessly banning those toxic players again, because the finical risk isn't there anymore.

Eh imma just throw in some counter logic to your comment. If everything is perfect, then why isn't this game blooming and successful and totally not on the brink of dying each month as it sustains maybe 200 players at most per server? Just because the vast majority doesn't think something is broken, etc doesn't mean that it shouldn't be fixed or improved upon. I am not here to dispute if it's unbalanced, i am just here to dispute if it should even be in the game as is. Is it really better for the game? For example remote detonate such a useless perk 80% of the time and mainly only used for trolling. In other games this would be removed or balanced around accordingly, and surely they wouldn't add the option to destroy the vehicle when you are dead. I mean look at the out cry around other games that had the ability to kill someone when you are dead. Most of the time it's negative, so why is apb reloaded any different? I noticed a lack of apb players wanting the game to change, or having thing balanced generally. And in case ya haven't noticed, the games own community is killing the game, but also managing to keep it on a tiny lifeline but this is the last chance. Between dethreating, constant unfun mechanics, etc. It all really does drives away anyone that actually wants to play this game or would play it. Rather than saying the game is perfect blindly, cause lets be honest we both know this game is far from perfect, we instead try and better the game yah? And this game is faaaaaar from balanced, why do you think 90% of people use ntac? Because it is over all the best current assault rifle. Look at the yukon, (I have the yukon.) that thing is still bugged and broken af. Fasted ttk, only problem with it is it shoots too fast for it's mag size. There are a lot of balance problems plaguing this game. You just have to open your eyes. And one last balance problem the nhvr, that thing makes uses dmr's pointless as it does what dmr does but better in every way.

Meh, idk this seems better than the normal toxic stuff in chat tbh. Like all the your gay, and epeen contesting shit show that most people seem to have when playing this game. But yeah they should be doing this in a whisper. There is a /ignore command you have all the tools but didn't use them, so you are partially to blame for seeing so much of it...

Thank you very much, i wonder how much nicer i can make the game look. :3

I know that feel all to well, when there was the buy 1 get one free event, i opened i shit you not 20 or was it 25? I really don't remember, and i got joker tickets after joker tickets only out of each one in a row. I spent like 100 or 200$ during that event didn't get a medsua or anything. My recommendation wait till little orbit changes the market place before wasting more money on these loot boxes. They do plan to look at the market place and adjust prices/chances if needed. Which there is no reason you should be able to get open 20 boxes in a row and get tickets. And the 2k or so joker tickets really is jack shit and a slap in the face. I could see if it was like ya know 500 to 1k each box. As some things are absurd in how much they cost. So yeah i have a feeling they are gonna bring these scams down to a more competitive level to try and get more people to spend money. I have refused to spend any more money, cause of the like 100+ boxes i opened. I still have like 63ish timed weapons in my mail box. And that alone isn't really worth my mailbox being permently spammed, giving me a constant reminder i got screwed so damn hard with rng. According to most people's luck i should of gotten 3+ during that. The only suggestion i could give if they didn't want to change the rates. Add in a pity timer like just about any other game, that way after like lets say 100$ worth of boxes you are getting it no matter what. I mean 100$ for a life time weapon is on the extremely high end, but at least it would be better than nothing. And gives more players an incentive to drop 10$ here 20$ here and eventually get the weapon they want.

Hmm if i had to think long and hard about it, giggity. Hah just kidding yukon, ntec, hvr hands down all need adjustment. If my atac isn't a laser beam anymore and takes like 10 or 12 shots, no reason an ntec should take 5 and have about the same if not better accuracy and performance. :c But nah really tho yukon, feels extremely busted, i got the worst version of it for like 3k or whatever, and that thing feels busted. I can't imagine what the yukon is like, that has like half the ttk as it's brother variant. Most guns have a time to kill of like 1 second or so according to the wiki, so i was shocked to see this thing having a 0.45 and can go into full auto if needed. Although it's ttk goes up then, but i really do feel such a flexible secondary, should not have the best ttk or one of the best ttk's in the game. Also the things a damn laser beam in terms of accuracy, it has more accuracy than an atac or ntec with hunting sight 3, without even aiming down it's sights. lmao The thing is even better than it's obir rifle counterpart, as a secondary so it is a primary in it's own right lmao. Not to mention it has some serious range, i have no idea what the downsides are to it. If anyone has it please let me know, id love to have a counter to this melt machine. hvr just feels terrible to go up against and makes more dmr/semi's pointless for the most part, as it overshadows a vast majority of weapons. I think it should have a much longer swap time or delay between shots. I did try it and it had like a 1 or 2 second delay before i could swap, but i swear other people are able to swap it instantly, so idk i must be doing something wrong. *shrugs* Ntec, well it out beats just about any other rifle at just about any range, close, mid, long range. It's sheer damage it pumps out is just too much to compete with for any of the other rifles. And the accuracy isn't that bad on the thing, only thing you could say is wrong with it is the fire rate being a tad slow. But even then it still out performs most other rifles, maybe other rifles just need to be bumped up to the ntec's level, rather than nerfing the ntec the last good assault rifle. It's already damn close to being an smg or sniper only game barring the occasional pocket obir that destroys lives and ruins all that's balanced. In short, hvr limits what you can actually use as it's effectiveness is too strong. The yukon is legit the only choice ever worth taking if you have the 6+ million ingame currency, or like 200~300$ real world money to get it through loot boxes. Only reason not to use it is the enforcers P.I.G for going ltl. ntec beats out pretty much all other rifles and fills the gape between dmr's and normal assault rifles/carbines. And does the most damage/faster ttk on average. With very little downsides compared to it's competitors. Try using an atac and beating out an ntec, 9 times out of ten you lose because you just don't have the same kind of ttk and damage out put. Best suggestion? Delete yukon. /sarcasm, but no nerf the fuck out of that things accuracy or ttk it's way to absurd. Either you grind for months, or you shill out the cash so you have a competing secondary that doubles up as a primary.

I am going to have to vote yes, even if it isn't a big thing, you do get a direct 50% cool down reduction over other players that can impact the game and does give you an advantage. Even if it's a 1% by literal definition you are in fact paying for an advantage over your enemies if you bought the premium subscription. If you disagree with it you are fooling yourself and doing mental gymnastics in your head to justify the game. And at that point, when you have to do so many back flips to defend the game at what point do you say okay there's something wrong. If i have to do mental gymnastics just to justify the game giving you a 50% cdr. I am not gonna try and muddy the water, it's clear and simple, no need to try and overly complicate the game just to defend it, i like the game and i want it to be better. Just get rid of the 50% cdr or give it to everyone, and yes i have the premium and yes i am voting for it to be taken away from me.

As much as i agree with this post and how these lampost are made out of some mystical element that never budges an inch. I also think it would be funny if little orbit ends up adding like 50 lampost their blocking it off for a day just to spite/troll everyone. And then remove em along with the original lampost the next day. :insert smug face here:

Open conflict with no threat level seems really risky, as that opens up newbies to getting crushed more so now than ever. And they need all the help they can get atm, no new players = no growth, no growth = dead game. I feel going open conflict from what i can understand would be a terrible mistake as it cuts off the majority of growth. The reason games like counter strike can be hardcore is cause it has a good match making system that allows the game to have complex mechanic by matching people of similar skill. This game has nothing of the sort. A gold player is generally leagues above silvers or bronze. What i feel needs to be done is add in one or two more tiers, gold plat and then like diamond yes they could use work in naming. To further stop people from wanting to dethreat, end up giving people benefits or extra stuff for playing in their correct division. Like gold get 50% more money than silver. Plat gets 50% more than gold, diamond gets 100% more than plat. That way there is a benefit or a reason, you want to play in those divisions. And as a new player you have an incentive, you want to get to those levels so you can make more money. Of course this system needs a larger player base to work. But i feel the player base will come if they advertise it, and the newbies aren't getting crushed so hard. No newbie once to go up against some level 255 gold tier god that has been playing since the games inception. It can't be much fun for the level 255 to crush noobs all day long and never be tested. We need more tiers to better judge a players skill level, going from silver to gold is too much a difference, 3 tiers is nowhere near enough. Unfortunately the really good players will end up suffering if you go that route. But even then there's the towers and shipyard there's also open conflict, and the aforementioned extra money for being in that division and in a plat or diamond level lobby. So it will make up for the slower queues, so i really don't think they would suffer that much...
