    Cody "The Shadow" Blackburn

     

     Much of Cody previous life is buried in mystery, he himself is individual which isn't very talkactive and keeps to himself. There is no previous record on Cody - he never needed to be in rehab center, never needed any grant from goverment and paid his taxes. One thing from his past is known to everyone... civil war in San Paro changed his life. Cody seems of righteous type at first glance - he didn't joined criminals nor enforcers seeing them as just bad piece to each puzzle... but then one might ask question after that - why did he join Joker, company known mainly for it's guns and ammo distribution? But Cody never answered that, like always keeping everything to himself. But this time there are records on his activities as Joker employee - at begin, he started his career as salesman for company and took unique approach to promoting Joker products - by using them himself in fights - there are always unliked enforcers or criminals on rooster of most wanted which would nobody really care if they would disappear. His unique approach was obviously noticed by higher ups in Joker. They decided that Cody would be very relatable salesman at Joker Distribution for both criminals and enforcers. And here he is, from your average doors-to-doors, company-to-company salesman, up into one of prestigeous salesmans of Breakwater Marina.

     

    I tried to both keep him simple and wanted to make him look fine. Also as probably some noticed I had problems with em... clothing limit.

    Hope you guys like him.

    2014 was the peak of APB. Not 2011.

    2011 - we had 6 servers, two EU, two NA, one asian and one australian. Obeya alone had 10k players online on average. Change in threat system. G1 didn't insert their slick fingers in... yet.

    2014 - population starts to dwindle, cheaters start to show up and it is harder to avoid them, G1 makes dumb decisions, low population problems starts to show up.

     

    I think 2011-2012 was golden era of APB, then it just went downhill.

    Some of us might actually understand what the concept of a Beta test actually is, though.

    Oh really?

    I probably know more about it than you and I'm telling you they should still launch the Open Beta anyway.

    OH REALLY?

    You two might know it but what about rest of playerbase?

    Last thing we need is newbies giving negative press. Of course via Youtube videos, Reddit threads, Twitter shitposts and review bombing.

    From what I observed this can happen no matter what in districts bigger than 2 enforcers - 2 criminals, if you two are the only one looking for mission at the moment (it's not that rare as you think, taking 40 - 40 max size on district).

    I also don't like 1v1 matches as missions are greatly imbalanced on defensive side then (defender death basically means easy way to complete objective for attacker).

    Hard disagree on the super specific chat filter, unless if it's a toggle option. Every single game I've played with filters like that make just even trying to tell your team what's going on at "A" point, a massive pita if not impossible. **** ********** ***** *** A - Battlefield 5 with their cancer chat filter for example.

    Chat filters are cancer overall. Especially in adult targeted game.

    Like what the hell, I can violently with cold blood murderer people (even if soldiers) but saying bad word is greater evil? Nice morality.

    This would only make sense if... I dunno Disney released E-rated MMO. Otherwise it's nonsense, we all are adults and know all swear words.

    It would be nice if you could return the weapons you didn't like at the end of Joker Tickets and have the JTs returned because I bought secondary weapons that I didn't like, I don't use them and I would like to have the JT I spent on those weapons again

    Same goes for some of my ARMAs weapons. Even if it would be exchange for JTs I would get something better (no, I'm not joking. Interested in that Joker Distribution OCA with silencer exclusive).

    1. kicking out of team also counts as lose for that player so it decrease time of dethreating
    2. kicking out of mission with Win tag as you kill more than 4 times your team mate could do a better thing
    3. differenciate need for silver thread and gold thread to be increased slightly to remove that desinformation about goint to become gold and after 1 mission you become silver and after another mission you become gold again only by winning / losing missions without doing anything in them
    4. killing arrested players shouldnt be count as demerit
    5. limit players joining abilities bronze only for bronze silver only for silver and gold only for gold this will splitt players but will make it easier for matchmaking to find same level players (in my opinion)
     

    1 and 2 - simply treat it like mission never happened.

    3 - gold and silver are already seperated by 1-10 subranks.

    4 - it should count as demerit and it shouldn't count as kill.

    5 - will cause ruin, we got this in past (with G1) and lost half of active playerbase from that move alone - players also were overall not happy with it and it helped dethreaters a lot as they weren't challenged in silver/bronze against players of their own skill.

    Yeah but did the people banned and then unbanned for the FFA box scamming get to keep all the FFAs they scammed?

    From what I know, they didn't.

     

    Although it's of questionable morality... the best you could do back then was to invest every penny in every FFA on market. Too bad I had not enough to purchase even one but if I would had as much as now... damn... I would easily multiply my fortune by 5 times (buying them for 2-3 millions on marketplace alone, then when it calms down months later, selling them for 15-16 millions).

    At least I earned a lot on Corsair boom. 🙂

    they should put this on armas, they need money right?

    Taking their absolute no stance about it, other than shoving codes everytime I'm offline (at least in old thread), I assume, they not gonna put it anyway.

    But still new confused players shows up unaware that there even was giveaway.

    So they should finally decide what the fuck they gonna do about this mask so it won't be minority special thing nobody knew was given away.

    Most of my clan were silvers, it had 80 members with 20 active almost daily/weekend and the others played a few times a week/once a week. It litterally died to like 5 people on at any random time... tops. I played with all of them, and when gold lock occured I legit couldn't play with most, and because of how many cheaters, tryhards, exploiters, etc etc were in gold. No one but maybe 4 people wanted to play with me. You can say that "if they wanted to play they'd play with you. I mean, why would they if they legit only face the scummiest players in the district? People actually want to have fun with friends. Not get face stomped and go 0/13 while their buddy goes 12/10.

    I didn't said anything about threat lock if you would notice, which happened earlier. I talked about rewards reductions for being on wrong threat servers - something which in my opinion was proper way to punish dethreaters.

    Majority of the clan did end up all leaving within the 3 month span of gold lock as well. Not surprised though.

    If that was reason for them leaving permantely, then they wouldn't hang around for long either.

    Threat seg was a terrible idea, because there are FAR better ideas to protect new players.

    Rank segmentation. Also we see rank segmentation in all kind of shooters and in many of them it's succesful. Only this game got pathology that high rank gold can dethreat into green to stomp newbies and game sees it as alright.

    This should have been done years ago, but i doubt they will change this system, even such a small tweak, before the engine upgrade

    First we need to see EU until that we are bleeding players badly.

    All I have in mind is relief for all this newbies.

    Yes ranking up the contacts might feel extra grindy to people without premium subscription, to the dethreating problem, this was dealt with before when G1 decided that people who become gold in a silver/bronze district will have certain penalty like less money and standing from completing missions, and golds only could enter gold and ect.. it was good for the new commers untill it was cancled.

    I remember that crying.

    "WHY WE HAVE TO PLAY GOLDS VS GOLDS" "WHAT IF I HAVE FRIENDS IN DIFFERENT THREAT"

    In the end, this all was excuses.

    Excuses to abuse system. If you really care about your friend you would play despite losses. Hell, you would even play in gold (punishment for playing in higher threat was though smart bad (this censorship works bad) - despite being symbolical). But they played because it was easy grind and G1 spotted that.

    I would say to wait for EU where if phasing will kick in, issue hopefully will be limited... still as it is right now, we are bleeding new players. So temporary bandaid in my opinion should be applied.

    What I propose? Well...

    - Gold team or teams with golds will NEVER find opposition in mission on bronze district or lower. Silver team or teams with silvers will never find opposition in mission on green district and lower.

    - 2 demerits or more AUTOMATICALLY disable threat adjustment.

    - Team votekick don't need demerit (at least until EU) - so players playing normal will have tools to combat dethreaters in their teams who also harm their gameplay, would largely get rid of solo dethreaters.

    - Additional demerit for avoiding objectives.

     

    All changes within reach and non-radical. Should give some relief to overhelmed players in bronze (been there, situation is awful). Bandaid to ever open wound, hopefully to stop bleeding until EU comes.
