error message then it deletes your lease, if it works the same way the consumable stacks used to No you liar, it creates black hole in your computer.

I guess this thread can be locked now. I wasn't aware this feature was put in-game. Also it's obviously confirmed. Any lease can be extended from locker view to max 30 days.

Why would you even dethreat when it's a ranked mode? I'm pretty sure my post lacked information but what I'm really taking about is a "new" mode, with ranked threats making you able to grind from bronze to masters. I'm not talking about the grind we have atm, I'm talking about points. MMR-based matchmaking, the kind of stuff that almost every new game has. If you're a casual player and don't want to play ranked mode, the open-district would be your solution, that's all. I'm giving some ideas based on what I've seen on other games, I'm just a player that wanted to see new stuff on this game. Anyway, to make my idea possible they would have create a lot of stuff and I don't think it would be possible even with the new engine. I'm sorry if I didn't add anything useful to this thread, I was just dreaming without considerating our current situation. So... CS:GO? It won't work.

Wait... so I'm not actual? Oh shit, I though leases were like before.

I had idea... not uber sure if good - surely will be blessed by some but I see what problems it might bring: Stackable leases of weapons. You know how leases work now, right? You rent weapon for cash for 10 days, period. If you rent that weapon again, you will extended that time again to ONLY max 10 days. What if that would be stackable? You lease weapon for 10 days. Then for 20 days. 30, 40 etc. etc. - limit is just budget. Now. I see problem - free weapons are supposed to be struggle, it's in some way well-though process to force player to eventually give up and buy weapon he wants instead of (in some cases) farming money for lease. On counterweight - He still need to have this money and he just purchase this weapon lease in advance... it become less annoyance. I can imagine some would love that. This especially should be extended to Joker Distribution too. What do you all think?

And today new Master among 100 is our (insert dictionary word) thanks to his triggerbot/aimbot/wallhack/all of above (choose), joining the elite of cheating elite!1! But in all honesty, how you imagine that master being given? On what basis? Just because you killed silver team based on current matchmaking, you can be gold. So... how do you want to solve it? Master championships? And gold threat already punishes golds... now let's punish the best by matching them up with cheaters? Will be fun... Eherm... also this will make dethreating problem even worse.

Well then it's clear. Reinstall graphic card drivers and retry.

Is it still a thing or...?

It's not "edgy" game. Never was. Whole theme of APB is punk. And being "edgy" doesn't mean being toxic. Just overall dramatic.

The funniest idea of mine yet: Removing district threat might actually work against dethreating. First of all why dethreat if all districts are open. Second of all even if guy threw few matches, move to other district - he still will meet the same player along line - not just at max silvers. I still remember before district threat was put that district population was evenly distributed between gold, silvers, bronzes and greens creating interesting balance which somehow lasted. The only reason for district threat was matchmaking which is still pretty poor. Fix that, you can remove district threat - and with it dethreaters.

Yeah, moving them for symbolic "1$" is more effective honestly.

I really feel you, there's just something paranoia inducing to being to conservative to your equipment.. That's why i have my yellow mods unequipped.

There many factors in which they might damaged themselves - even jumping from somewhere and taking light damage then taking frag in face is enough.

Taking how positive comments are upvoted and negative are downvoted I just take this "discussion" is "you either agree with me or have no saying". Also believe me. I give you month max, you all will be crying for Asylum to be back.

I beg to differ. I still remember January 2018 G1 account password leak. Of course I understand problem but then again it's some kind of protection if you lose suddenly access to account.

I agree with StunStick. Every single damn thing (cheating, dethreating, "black outside market") is reaction to playerbase toxicity - simple psychology. If playerbase would be normal I guarantee that cheating would be minor problem, dethreating wouldn't be worth it and black outside market would be in huge minority (it would exist, people always sell in-game items for real money).

Good we have democracy right guys? ...Guys? Also spawns are horrible in Asylum already and it's big map... imagine way smaller Beacon. No. Next shotgun-or-nothing map...

Currently APB suffer from low population syndrome - where there is no population swap (population swap happens when regular and veteran population is replaced by newbies). That of course causes that you are forcibly put against veterans or players who play regular. Sadly population is not what we as players can much influence (expect maybe if some scums would stop dethreating...). We just need to hope that APB in few years will be like phoenix rising from it ashes, where population is big enough to support population swaps. I don't discourage you from playing that said. I think that you should just try to group up with such veterans if game forces you against others, usually you can get such people from missions you gonna play solo (as matchmaking try to balance game to be even according to threat). Also don't let yourself be (at least verbally) trashed by this players, ignore them - some people here have ego up in roof. If somebody uses cheap tactics, I don't see why you shouldn't use them yourself. Also bulletproof starter strategy. I make up my lack of skill with tactics - Instead of rushing something like rambo always try putting yourself with upper hand. I give few examples of tactical thinking: 1. You see enemy spawning and crossing street but see he got various option to cover and uses distance weapon. Instead of engaging with him you should track his movement and try to prepare trap. Hide behind some corner where you think he gonna go (good bet would be objective he gonna defend/attack), be wary of surrounding during that to not find yourself trapped of course! Jump on him with any weapon better up close than his, if you got friends you can talk with them so you can work out such trap in way that even max rank golds will have hard nut to bite. 2. You find yourself suddenly attacked from behind, evade shots by shifting movement, hide behind cover and then retreat if possible. No shame in hiding and using car, avoid potential gunfire and grenades... try different approach and make sure you don't generate "noise" on radar. Even non-radar noise (including silenced weapons) can give you out, especially to veterans. 3. If you are at objective, check surrounding for cars (if you are criminal, check for commandered cars - if enforcer, check for stolen ones - also enemy cars are dead giveaway that at least one or more enemy is nearby, possibly waiting with trap on you), open doors (giveaway that there was some kind of player activity), destroyed items of map like fire hydrants etc. If you find proofs of enemy activity, good idea if you are at least for the time being alone would be to scout around objective, especially with car (might giveaway locations of enemies, at least for mental note). Be ready that enemy might attack from locations you don't expect him to be... and always when doing objective, keep checking your surrounding and be on alert. Red alert to stop should be sight of enemy alone. 4. No shame in running if you clearly losing fight, if you got possibility to regroup - do it. You can also use car as kind of shield/getaway option when engaging enemies - this is of course especially powerful on open street with no other cars nearby. 5. Always try to put yourself in favorable distance of your weapon and try to put enemy at distance in which his weapon got disadvantage. EVERY weapon got some kind of disadvantage to exploit. Hope it will help and good luck in-game. Newbies like you are hope for me that this game will exist. I'm not joking.

Answer is easy - by just taking "regular price". Compare price of character bound SHAW "First Blood" with "regular price". It's more expensive than price outside that pack right? Oh but it fits prices of weapons if they are rented for 30 days. Meh. Rip-off, avoid.

Yeah cause i'm ohhh so cheater. Yeah. That's why my patootie is handed over by current questionable players playing in-game. That's why I was first to be unbanned from FairFight questionable activity. This who stay silent are this who are afraid of something.

Just because you can't find them doesn't mean they are unavaliable. I would post link to one active forum i'm constantly observing (to know what to expect) which is responsible for many of public hacks for APB. And I heard there is at least one locked cheating community which is specialized in APB. Sadly didn't found it yet... wish I would expose them to LO.

Yeah... that's the whole problem. They make it illegal in USA, Germany, Poland, Russia or even China... so they move to Thailand, India, Australia, Egypt and still will take cash for that while maintaining "legality" status.

Honestly I though about releasing some hacks (read all of it first to not get me wrong), put worm or some marker in it (like line of code hidden in OS) - then suddenly make it detectable and add as red flag that worm or marker on BE. Make that list public like G1 early on do. Fuck name & shame policy if you got clear evidence this guys cheated. But of course nobody have guts yet... And I don't have that much time on my hand. Oh and before you say how "illegal" is that... this guys basically break ToS and cross grey sphere of law non-stop, you just refuse to say it was your job and there.

I see someone got inspired. I think it's perfect as total start. @Flaws can I link mine, for newbies most frequent questions?
