I'm just letting you know what's happening now in the bronze district's. I am sure as hell NOT taking your original question out of context. And I would love 2 see a complete overhaul of the match maker system so you and others can level up your contacts.. By the current system does allow what I posted earlier.. By your own admittance your a solid Gold.. meaning you have a great skill set... currently theirs 2 many people who are abusing the threat system in there, if they would play in the Silver or even the Gold districts, for you there would be no shortage of opponents.

@Havana Your plan sucks. I st of all there is a good healthy BRONZE population in Jericho now.. We don't come out to be slaughtered too often. Why do we "bronzies" need 2 move districts??? All it'll do is get the Gold/Silver threat players a VERY GREAT Freakin excuse to DT to Bronze threat so they can go to the Green Districts.. I've ALL FUC-KING ready lived through that NIGHTMARE once... Why are you asking me to do that again..???

you really need 2 read the post there.. I've already put my 3 pence in. for me I really don't give a rats patootie as to WHAT your current "R" is.... In his post states this means to low skilled players like myself (who are in-fact Bronze) " I'm using you to level my contacts so "FUCK YOU"I'm a grab 100 kills a mission and you can't stop me" That's what it means...

On Jericho we have a well known way for players to literally kill others without being N/P5 nor in missions... I call it the suicide bug.. When player 1 is driving a car player 2 rams his vehicle into either a tree or bldg the car explodes. Player 1 dies.. and it's recorded as a suicide... They do this 2 help their friends win missions, by mission blocking at it's best.

Ok now I'm a take your entire argument and destroy it... I've literally tried this method a dozen times...Doesn't work...No solo missions in empty districts. I've sat in Waterfront for almost 2 hours without anybody else there "Ked" up and got nothing I'm litterly the worst shot in this game. so i do waste a ton of ammo that cannot be replaced that easy.and gettting the kill....doesn't happpen for me that easy...I'm constantly getting sniped out by no less then 3 people every time I die. which causes the game to crash...it doesn't know who to give the cred to for killing me nor who to give the assist 2. This is my current method of gameplay...doesn't work,I still only get about 20-50 creds for the kill... nothing more I decided to take these 2 points as a whole... You have more hours in the game then i do, and i can almost bet the farm you have more then 15k kills under your belt. I currently have right at 1150 hours in this game with a kill count of only 3856, along with 6800 Joker tickets... u have never seen me in the game then to say this... when their on(which is rarley now) i do team-up w/ a few people that do try and help me getting a few kills (or in my case arrest) in during the normal missions... you can do that in 30 hours??? with premium??? i had a week of premium time and couldn't get no more then 100k to the positive side... thats playing 5+ hours a day for them 7 days. and as far as spending that 10 bucks on the ARMAS marketplace...for me it would be a waste of good money....I'd rather go to Mcdonald's and buy the Big-Mac meal then give LO my cash... thats it for now...but please lets continue this discussion.... i find it very amusing

it took me a few months debating with VICKY to come to the same conclusion as she shares here.. the Golds/De-threaters are there in the 1st place cause its easier for em to collect points/cash and mission rewards. A strait out right HARD-LOCK will cause em to De-threat back 2 Bronze and thus making that in-effective.. most of the players will only need 2 missions to go back gold again and this time their stuck in with the newbees/low skilled players... shes right on this issue...we need a new system in place to prevent the farming of the Bronze districts in all... the current threat system allows for 1 threat level below your current 1, and you can enter that district unmolested by the games ADMINS. but in reverse you can be a TRAINEE and bounce all the way to the GOLD districts unmolested by the same system. nice quotes...you must've read some of my arguments in the old Forums from 2 years ago. and @VickyFox can tell you, when I 1st started i stayed Green, I played in the greens for quit some time,these same weapons you are describing here was the cause of my start in the Forums. I was seeking a shit load of guidance and trying to understand why these people w/ these weapons need 2 come to the Green Districts and abuse us to the point people litterly uninstalled just within minutes of char. creation.. I watched in a years time a games healthy population decrease from well over (daily log ins now) from 850 to less then 100 now...the 850 was on all threat level districts, now we can barley fill 1 set of districts on the weekends much less weekday play... Currently RIOT is sooooo bugged i can't even get a map to load up...but yet the normal Districts load just fine. and @Yood, Matt Scott is soooooooooo full of crap that's why he wears a scarf in the summertime..to prevent you from smelling him....when it comes 2 his plan on MATCH MAKING...it still allows for DTers to be able 2 FARM the low skilled and true rookies of this game un-molested... Name & Shame removed. -Mina_ his plan is going on 8 months now and nothings changed. That was to keep the low-skilled players still interested while they were getting brutality raped in every mission from quiting the game. I along with many others agree with you.. when G1 ALLOWED the cry-babies to be-able 2 DT, they essentially killed the game. before the threat was unlocked 2 the anarchy it is now we did have a healthy and true player base that was on a steady growth.now..."shrugs" its like this...the DTers went where they litterly can keep a huge plus on their k/d ratio...along with the HUGE cash fall they get for doing 10+ kills in every mission.. a lot of peple were getting shut out on missions, so they left for other games that they can be giving a little reward for.

just another GOLD player looking for the community to give him their collective blessing to De-threat so he can become another terror in the noob district by default. I find this thread funny as shit...hes looking for permission in the 1st place... at least hes got integrity

I do agree we DO need a new action district in this game... Lets try a REAL HOME NEIGHBORHOOD say Model it after BEVERLY HILLS, or even the suburbs of Chicago or even New York City... I'll even be glad 2 see the Subs of Atlanta in here as well.. Anything that has a TRUE Residential FEEL towards it...Lets face it, Financial feels like we're always in a Downtown office complex area.or even the True INNER-CITY feel... Waterfront has the super sized Industrial feel towards that 1. I'd like 2 see one of them Million Dollar NEIGHBORHOODS that have their own private Docks and a river behind the homes... for contacts we can make the local mom and pop corner store the Crims Spawn in point. Lets face it....all the known drug dealers and hookers hang out at em anyways... For the Enf's we can use the local Block Captains house or even the local gas station as their Spawn in points or even the local recycle/junk yard... Or LO can take ANY small town that has less then 15,000 residents and transform that landscape into an Action District...I've seen hundreds if not thousands of small towns that would be perfect for an action district in my years of travelling

Needs to be REMOVED from the game RIGHT FREAKIN NOW...... My Character with the keyboard and mouse UNPLUGGED continues to move on his own and look skyward. he moves in a RIGHT CIRCLE pattern I NEVER had this problem until the update 2 days ago. With repeated LAUNCHER REPAIRS these actions are starting to stress me out.. the ANTI-CHEAT still keeps kicking me alot... But with PERSISTENT log in attempts I'm able to log in... Now do I have to go on the bandwagon just to get an LO appointed "individual" to even look at these problems and respond accordingly???? The Launcher is FUCKED...my character doesn't have keyboard or mouse commands and goes ballistic on his own...even EMPTYING clips of ammo BY HIS FREAKIN SELF.. WHAT GIVES????????? Merged. no worries...I just LOST a FREE Premium weekend on the update issue... I've already uninstalled and will install AFTER the bugs get worked out.. good luck getting the buggy shit 2 wor

Thanks... After reading your reply I've sent in the support tickets.. now I'll be outa week or so due to their back log of tickets from other games... That really sucks, cause now I'm out of the free premium weekend time

yes i have for the past 6+ hours now... I wouldn't be here in this thread asking for help if the websites check list did the trick...along with the trouble shooting from the APB forums.

@VickyFox Rival and here i thought we was barbershop buds but i'm glad your doin well...as for me I was working doing OTR stuff the last year.. now i come home 2 new anti-cheat software thats bugged so bad it makes the inner city roads smooth by comparison. in Jan. i'm looking to go back otring for a bit.. and you already know how i still feel about topics like this...but i'm learning that as players we reach a point that is our own personal plateau of skills. and for others who have transcend our personal heights does feel like we're constantly on the loosing end of every in-game match.. now I personally have been shut-out of sooooooooooooooo many matches its unbelievable.... 0 points and cash... now i pick and choose my matches that look like it might be fair to me...and yes i do get reported a lot for this attitude..but the current state of the MM, is broke in favor of all these nice long standing players that do deliberately abuse the current threat system. sometimes by the TAB mission screen it looks like i'm the only Bronze left in an all GOLD district. And yet I only play in the Bronze Districts...And on a daily basis i watch soooooooo many people De-threat just to be able 2 re-log back in..and its ALWAYS the same 1s. By the current system in place on Jericho the game is still un-playable at best. i really haven't seen any true new players that last more then 2 hours, the rest are just re-rolls. These re-rolls are becoming a problem.. IN order to get the "T" they need to start a brand-new account.. thats multi-accounting and thus bannable. when you buy a char slot from ARMAS you will start at char. level 9 along with your current threat level...

The ANTI-Cheat is FULL OF FRACKIN BUGS.... i keep getting ERROR CODE 10022 and 0xC0030004 during on-line loading process... off-line it loads just fine until i go on-line to select a district..then this crap comes up..."EAC SANDBOX NOT ACTIVE(DUMMY CLIENT)" now LO your dummies alright 4 forcing that crap on us before the ENGINE upgrade. this has been going on for 5+ hrs now...I did the checklist in the forums and on the ANTI-CREEP website. now im unable 2 get in the game.

ANTI-CHEAT ERROR CODE 10022 and 0xC0030004 Will not let me in the game.. My Computer software is up 2 date along with my HARDWARE I've already ran all my clean-up programs, UN-INSTALLED the game...RE-INSTALLED the game 3 times...along with going to the ANTI-CHEAT website and doing the websites check-list... HELP ME. this is going on for almost 5 hours now.... Game Does load in the off-line settings....then when i get to CHARACTER SELECTION does just fine... but when i try and ENTER a district this error code comes up. "EAC SANDBOX NOT ACTIVE (DUMMY CLIENT)"

I'll relate to what happened to me along with a nice handful of other Enforcers 2 years ago.. I ONLY play an ENF... I don't have a crim rolled yet...until they change the policy on NO shared CASH between char. on the same acct. then ill stay ENF. NOW PAY ATTENTION AND READ EVERY LINE BEFORE you tell me 2 "GET GUD" I'm so sick of reading that 1 line from all you "Experts" that have little to 0 skills yourselves. I started with a nice size group of ENF only players, about 20 of us in all. Their's maybe about 5 of us left from that group. We stayed T's for about a month in the game. Always using the Green Districts. Now you would think we had a little help??? HELL NO.. We ALL worked the Tort like mad 2 improve our skills. But we had our drawbacks and didn't know or had players willing to help us threw em. IN THE GREEN DIST. we started getting these mass DETHREATERS in there hard.. People DELIBERATELY lowered their threat level to BRONZE just to get in there. Now for about 6 Months i stayed green... only playing in the green dist. These"skilled idiots" came in and used us to "test" their new toys on us. these toys are as follows and more......EXPLOSIVE WEAPS....MEDUSAS.....OGRES.....any and all ARMAS GUNS... I was polite when they all started racking up MAJOR kills in EVERY FREAKIN MISSION. when we saw these weaps we knew they 'individual" was gonna rack up a kill streak of 25-30 before they went down 1 time. on the cash side they made about 10k per mission.If not more.Not bad for about 10 minutes worth of work on true noobs. Back then it wasn't uncommon to see a player go from Bronze to Gold status in the matter of minutes in the greens doing this method. After all this, I personally watched a HEALTHY Decline of players in the greens. At the time i didn't know that they actually QUIT the game in favor of 1 that allows some protection for newbees. Now after 6 months my personal threat changed from Green to Bronze.... And that's where its been ever sense....Not silver...DEFINITELY NEVER BEEN GOLD....I don't have the "Big Deal" Achievement.... When I finally made it to the Bronze Dist. low and behold I see the same freakin individuals doing the same things there...But this time their maintaining their threat of Silver and Gold status. But yet even 2 this day they Dethreat to re-log back in the bronze districts on a daily basis... and in this thread ZOMBIE looks like 2 me 1 of them "individuals" that are of a low skilled Gold that needs the low skilled bronzies 2 torment and harass for his pay-check. Now i personally do missions that i feel are playable 2 my skill level.. Do I get reported daily for Griefing??? Yea I do... no less then 30 times a day...by the same people who want/need 2 stay in the bronze districts harassing people like me.. Is it frustrating?? Sure as hell is... Fight Club you asked about.... Don't have the skills necessary to compete there...last time i was there i personally went 0/0/25.. guess what??? 0 freakin cash or points... so that's out of the question... Grouping with others you might ask next to help me with my skills???? I did that at 1 point and time only to be on the receiving end of being TEAMKILLED a FREAKIN LOT... by the same individuals that needed 2 log out and relog back in the next day to the same dist. Now I don't team with any 1.,.... Do I get a ton of Grief from players on this??? yes I do...they even use the "Suicide" bug to keep me dead... not to mention when i get in missions majority of the District purposefully MISSION BLOCK me by repeatedly raming what ever car I'm using to "Suicide" me. But im a die hard fan of this game... After 2 years 1 would think i have a nice fat bank acct. No I don't...my in-game creds stay below 100k.. I might get credit and creds for maybe 3 missions out of every 50 I play. All my current opponents love this...cause they walk out of these same missions with about 5k each...not bad for 5 minutes worth of game time. I don't even have a GROWL because of this....The very 1st 4 slot car any 1 above rank 20 can buy. I really would love 2 buy 1 and mod it myself, instead of some 1 giving me 1... That's it for me and why I and others like me Support a PVE environment to APB... I only want the cash, no standing at all...

no cash??? well i know this much playing an ENF a lot.. there are times when as an ENFORCER to get cash you have NO CHOICE but to do missions, or wait for a crim to collect a substantial amount from his daily criminal non-mission life. then witness him not many do the ram raiding nor muggins. so you really have no choice but to do missions. my biggest thing is this...more often then i care to speak about i and other ENFORCERS get shut out on missions. which means we get 0 cash, 0 points and 0 standings. in back 2 back 2 back 2 back 2 back 2 back missions. A FREAKING LOT this had its draw backs... alot of ENF. only players have quit the game. i started another thread on PVE for cash only. unfortunately that had very little reads and 1 commit from an idiot that wants to keep the pop low

For the last week or so, I have been waiting on average, right at an hour to log back in MY CORRECT threat district. I don't know how to post photos here but can show that my Character is IN FACT BRONZE. i don't click off the white box in the ADVANCE LAUNCHER. I know from experience the Silver District (skill set) is way 2 advanced for me. I play a cop character...now i have another tiresome recommendation. When a character of the SAME threat district tries 2 log in.. the people that are 2 THREAT LEVELS above THAT district, the 1's that have been their the longest should be in-fact REMOVED to make way for the CORRECT threat PLAYER. now lets hear the whining about that.

i just ran across a perm-gold at rank 15 that was using a VOLCANO for crying out loud.. my guess is he bought the weapon for his cop character and is using the weapon of mass destruction as a FAST WAY to level up his contacts IN the Bronze Districts on Jericho. the 3 missions I played against him he had 22 kills each.Might have died at max 5 times.Players like him are un-playable against... You see these LEGANDARY WEAPS. don't have a Minimual rank to equip. @ rank 1 you can equip the VOLCANO,MEDUSA,and the TRUE OGRE SHOTGUN with an effective kill range of 100+ meters. Volcano-2 shot missile weapon MEDUSA- 1 Killing fast Light Machine Gun (no other gun is faster in this game that I have seen) TRUE-OGRE- the baddest/fastest SHOTGUN in this game that has an effective range of 100+ meters. any thing close your OBLITERATED before you can pull your own trigger.

You must be new here, You see I AM 1 OF THEM LOW SKILLED PLAYERS. that constantly YELL at these same players in-game for doing these same things. my current CONTACT rank is 225...THREAT RANK is PERMINANTE BRONZE. and like I've said and others the numbers are ONLY an inducator of 1s DETERMINATION to stay and build in this game....I'm sitting on right @1100 hours in and barely can kill 1 player every 3 hours. vs. 1s that do get a kill count PER-MISSION of 15+ and too me BY YOUR OWN PIC'S you look 2 be one of these HIGH SILVER'S that you speak of...that's here trying your hardest to kill BRONZIES UNMOLESTED by these same GOLDS.. To me they are a BIG-PAIN-IN-MY-FRACK-HOLE. So change???? Yea I would LOVE 2 see em banned from the game PERMINANTLY. but that's unfair 2 em.. Restrictions??? That would be ideal...make it HARDER for em to achieve their goals in that 1 district and they would be in-game forced to move on.. Your giving em REASONS 2 STAY. Take that away and you will see a gradual mentality change. plus i would love too see @VickyFox would say about this thread now... Dear Vicky, I didn't start it this time but would love to read your opinion on this again...Give us your wisdom and insite, I personally have given my 3 pence worth... Your TURN...and yea I threw you under this bus. Cyral

This Thread reminds me of the old forums when Vicky Fox and I went round and round for months on this same topic. Honestly, I would love 2 read her reaction to this post. She's still a dear in-game friend. Both of y'all ignored not just mine but others who have given in site on how the removal process can take place.. Because of the bickering, I'm gonna ask a mod to permanently close this thread... it will save on the hurt feelings and finger pointing.

Think about this. Without the pedestrians present in the game, who would crims mug,? Essentially you would kill a basic form of cash income for the crime. Not to mention that on the Enforcement side, there would be no witnessing, so this topic is designed to further kill the game.

Most of the people here doing their best 2 be haters ARE these de-threat golds you speak of. Do they WANT to give up their only means 2 stay well ahead on the k/d ratio? No they don't. Cause most of these individuals would have their hides ripped off their bones if they would have 2 face any 1 other then the low skilled players that you speak of staying in the Bronze Districts. For them it's an extremely easy way to make cash. Now take away the cash bonuses for killing a bronze player while being GOLD and you will have an empty district of GOLDs pretty damn fast.. You see as it stands they get more cash for killing then they do for muggings and ram-raiding. So yea these individuals would rather ruin some 1 else's fun time in order to get that MEDUSA & VOLCANO. After they acquire these weaps. It's always the excuse I need 2 train with it.that keeps em going. At 1 point we had the OPEN CONFLICT DISTRICTS. These same individuals had L.O. remove them because they wouldn't use em. And these DISTRICTS were usually very well populated back in the day. That was our Mission Battle Royal. But the true rookies STAYED AWAY from there. So these individuals had to go where the rookies were. Like I said before" they used every dirty trick they could think of to be able 2 farm in the bronze district unmolested by the admins of the game." As it stands LO is down right SCARED 2 do anything about it, cause the gammer population is so low in the NA Server. You see they need to make back that 50 million or so that it took 2 buy APB. If the population drops 2 far they have no choice but to shut the game down. That saying is this.... Those same individuals that harass new/low skilled players had caused this effect. As it stands they are literally IMMUNE 2 most if not every rule in the game. Gripe all we want.... nothing will happen 2 em. Until LO takes away the cash incentive for farming the bronze districts. This will continue. I have witnessed players for 5 minutes of game time make around 2 grand. Ram-raiding will not get you that kinda cash that fast. Again reduce the cash to 0 for golds killing bronzies and reduce it by 1/2 for High level Silvers to do the same. For these individuals they need 2 make demerits non-existent while in the bronze district. So teamkilling and suicide will not reduce your threat rank. This will have a sever backlash by those same individuals because it will put 1 hell've dent in their steady cash flow. Then the normal I will quit threat comes out. No they will not quit. Cause this game is their daily get out of my life excuse card.

How about this. It will kill the current population on the Bronze Districts. When a player obtains "Kind of a big deal" Achievement, they are Auto-Banned from the Noob Districts of the game. "Green and Bronze Districts" That achievement means your a super try hard in the game. I know other games out here that states, "once you achieve the highest honor of the game you are considered a threat to our games growth. " APB can follow along in that same philosophy. Now with that said, their can be a few exceptions. 1 example is this. You can apply for "Teacher status" and still have access to these areas. A teacher is some 1 ( I personally know a few now) that does help new and less skilled players out. But can this be abused? Yes it can Once you abuse it the game ban-hammer comes down.

You obviously didn't read my statement correctly enough. My understanding is this. When a player has a cop and criminal, they still are unable to transfer funds back and forth, only items. Like cars and bought guns. That's if you only have 1 account. By the rules that's all your allowed to have. I like to buy bullets from the ammo boxes when I run out.. Not to mention g-nades.. Or even might get a decent car out of the car spawners. So will ram_raiding do this for my cop char?

How about this... once you have the "I'm a big deal" achievement, you get auto-banned from EVERY entering anything below Silver District? That would solve a whole lot of crap that goes on in the Bronze Districts now.
