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.

Sounds good to me. I always enjoyed district devolving into pretty much fight club. Make it less more problematic if cheaters are playing and win/loss is way more less predictable. Although that can be damning for win spree activity... still...

So, when it comes to FFA R&D3... ain't that a rare gem in game right now? Almost nobody owns it and almost nobody is able to afford one even if they wanted (prices are ridiciolous because whoever has it, can dictate prices pretty much unchallenged...). But I don't see anyone having problem with that. And when they do, they are silenced for being silver and wanting to take only worth thing away from people blah, blah. So here it is. I'm owner of FFA R&D3. I could afford maybe two more if I really wanted (with such prices...). They are unscoped OBIRs with 3 mods slots, agreed. But question is why they aren't at Anne yet? I think since we want all legendaries to lose they unavaliability status, that's only way to do it. Put it on Anne. Maybe make it so each lease is 10k JT so people don't whine. I don't care. For me it can be 2,5k JT. Nothing justifes fact that this weapon is somewhere in shadows and only owned by few. I don't even use it. For me it's symbol status. So make it avaliable.

How I never saw it? This is comedy gold.

I remember back then when people were shitting on me for cheating when I never did cheated. It was like that back then with FairFight. I did glitch on other account (which was mysteriously not banned unlike my main) into one spot during Halloween but without context it's idiotic (entire team tried to get to glitcher to kill him - And suprisingly glitcher DIDN'T get banned for that) and then I was banned for cheating on my main few days later (I assume that was reason? Although it's shady.). So yeah, I just decided to shut it after unban, complete what I had... now I'm just here more like shadow. Lurking between, soaking misery of others and hoping maybe there's gonna be wind of change. Noooooope.

We just arrived to this conclusion now? If this is how they want to "develop" this game, might as well shut it down before buying it. Seems my fears about LO being repainted G1 were justifed.

Entirely no. But playerbase is just part of all of this mess.

Yeah so... if I will be banned in-game. I know how. There are already reports of not only bans in other EAC games but also virus injections. And I know LO will do absolutely nothing with that. And they will assume it's correct ban. Am I suprised? No. Maybe this game deserves this death. Toxic playerbase is at it's core and developer which refuses to do anything meaningful with it. Wish I knew that would be end of this game, I wouldn't join in first place. At least early APB:R was good times...

Every single year you guys erupt into the same argument over politics, flags, symbolism which boils pretty much to "I feel offended over this symbol". That's why term "snowflake" was invented in first place for people solely focused on "what offends them most". You know how much I care that all negative, totalitarian or "evil" symbolism is in virtual video game? You know how much people care about it? Better question is how many don't. The only problem is when you put this "for real" in real life.

Multiple other topics suggest that deletion of account which is linked is only way to link other one without contacting (dead) support. If there is nothing worth of value on it, why not?

Then only support can help you.

I'm not gonna even tell you how familiar this sight of APB is to me. ...and people talk about next gen graphics here... PFF...

About archive... The only thing which anger me is that there's nothing indexed to the fullest. Tried to look there for threads I made or wrote in but archive don't reach that far. Can't blame people tho. since I'm suprised SOMEBODY did index this forum.

Ah, here we go again. Why people can't just not give a f. about what others do? "OH I'M NOT BOTHERED." "But yeah, can you implement way so I can fully block people?" Somehow people humping me didn't trigger aggresive reaction from me. Despite me being male character and said "relationships" being gay. But if we talk about me putting my head between people crotches... I'm sorry. I always found it extremely funny in this game for some reason.

So I guess Mirage issues were not addresed other than "icon"? Broken distance low-res image of it, lack of support for police sirens (game-changer for me... you saying pseudo Dodge Charger can't be cop car? LAME), zero customization (3 types of wheels as "customization feature" are joke, not a customization)? Also why it's suddenly city car? And had to replace Morai to that?

I changed my password twice for Gamersfirst account and never had error, only prompt to type new password when I tried to login through Steam. This is bizzare. If you have time to kill, I would recommend clean reinstall of APB first. Doesn't hurt to try.

2 better silvers vs 2 worse silvers and 1 gold. There's much more behind threat than just four colors my man. It goes back to old threats where you had 15 ranks instead. And fact that it's still broken beyond belief in 2024 is well-known here.

I still have problem ever since F2A broken that I can't save F2A authorization to not be forced later to do it. Basically "Remember me" choice is broken and it ask me for F2A code each time I log in. Cool but it's hassle to use phone for codes every time I got disconnected to lobby. It's still active issue or just something "on my end" again?
