LO in few weeks: "All NA players get moved to Brazil server. Enjoy lags."

I gave my points to escalation before. In current form it's need serious rework. The problem is that it doesn't address problems properly. Escalation are also voluntarly which basically kills their intended intially purpose.

You got link to exact file. So I wanna see what that file is. Checksum included.

So far I don't see any of that coming. Maybe SARD really needs my point of view how many monkeys I meet to actually do something.

Argumentum ad ignorantiam

Oh and how I had it - put gold with silvers vs full team of golds. Oh he did bad? Go to silver. Put him still in silver teams, still against gold. Nice one, LO. Eh, I straight it up other day. Insane how much they fucked up.

With current matchmaking there's problem to even start one mission, yet alone segregate anything. Maybe they should fix whatever they screwed up first.

I know this trailer brought a lot of players back then.

Tbh. G1 did had track record for weird bans with no proper explanation. I wouldn't be suprised if LO had the same problem. Especially taking this banned person created their forum as back as 2013. I don't believe cheater would hold onto their account since 2013. And there were risen two other "reasoning" for bans - nudity (although clothing with symbols hardly counts as such in my honest opinion) and "payback fraud". So first one already in my opinion is unlikely and would most likely be meet with verbal warn first before any action is taken. I know LO doesn't like giving manual bans for such reasons as they are controversal. Second... well... that should be clearly stated in ban. If it is... I would just ask support to clear up situation. Mistakes happens and not always on our part. It's in my opinion idiotic if we still hold bans on people who clean up their mistakes in that area (even if voluntary caused). I hate fact that we give cheating players second chances... yet everyone else...? Yeah...

Where is RAM in this setup. Also loose SSD, yikes.

Quick answer. It doesn't. I dropped to silver, got lifted up to gold next day without playing single match. Then later dropped to silver again with good performance, then stuck in gold again. Oh and I get full teams of silvers solo. No clear reasoning for that as against me they keep putting golds. Makes sense? Yeah...

Yeah, I think also the problem is matchmaking still being what it is. It's roulette of "who gets handicap, who gets good player" but there's no easy fix for that with current population, locked additionally to single district. I wonder when they gonna implement phasing cause this seems to be good solution to that.

I think escalation is actually great thing you implemented which stop problem with one-sided matches you forced to sit on. I only got two problems: 1. This one is fairly obvious and I think universally noticed - mission weren't modifed for escalation... that problem is especially visible in finales which don't properly scale up and usually side more with defending sides, especially if we talk about point capture finale or VIP ones. 2. Here's problem is implementation of escalation itself - I don't think escalation should have approval of both team leaders - often it leads to pathological situations in matches where escalation is needed but enemy team leader will veto it because they win said match. In my opinion there's better non-autocratic alternative where escalation request is voted by one entire team requesting escalation and then if accepted by it, escalation happens. I know this proposition is controversal but problem is if we allow for escalation to be in current form then current situation with toxic playerbase will nullify it's impact to zero.

Well. Time for me to slowly resign from this game.

This issue been trickling like leaky water for year. I pointed it out, it got ignored. It gonna keep getting worse and worse until population will decide to leave this game for good. By now... there's no saving. You allowed this trash to exist, now they have breeding grounds here like xenomorphs. You gotta purge breeding grounds to remove pest. Reason why I'm not actively playing since 2021. Enjoy your experince in what I call "end stage" of game. APB is already grandpa on life support which is suprisingly still alive.
