  1. I changed my wording a bit, but it is the most likely scenario. At some point the cheats being tuned to be less-obvious and top 1% skill are going to overlap in some parts of the statistics.
  2. With population numbers being restored to what they used to be some time ago, it has naturally brought in some of the bottom feeders who like to watch their computer play the game for them. You can either ride out the storm or wait for the battleye patch. And despite what some people claim, fairfight and their in-house anticheat are most likely (99%) running. Fairfight just isn't on full-auto at the moment, because of some issues with false positives that have likely caused some collateral damage in form of legit players being banned for being too good in the game. (Combine someone with very good reaction times and spot-on eye-hand coordination with something like 5000 to 10000+h in APB and he/she is bound to be quite special in terms of stats that get gathered by a tool like fairfight.)
  3. But person I quoted said players should be able to spectate. I didn't say GMs shouldn't be able, but I agree that finding the right people is critical.
  4. In the past I have had some encounters with some devs / staff ingame, mostly during first live runs of new events. It's always interesting to see how your overlords solve the everyday ingame challenges.
  5. Some people have already used outside of mission friends to "ghost" opposing team pretty much since APB's launch. Being able to spectate specific player freely would be missused. Something along those lines.
  6. I don't think there is any issue when gifting when used as intended. I'd quess it's due to outside of marketplace trades involving armas gifts and credit card fraud. It is the most likely scenario. If that indeed is the case, I'd imagine that gifting could make return "Soon(tm)" with just some delay added somewhere in the process to limit damage from chargebacks.
  7. The way logic is applied in this thread is frightening. Do people really see it as permission to cheat untill next patch because "lol, unbans coming"??? If anyone thinks it's ok to cheat for any reason, you have lost your way. Please be kind and unplug yourself from the internet.
  8. You are to report all of those things to support through https://support.gamersfirst.com , not post them on the forum. You are not to share anything that support has emailed to you. It is for your eyes only.
  9. Some of you really going to pull clans into this debacle now too?
  10. Doing 90% of the code takes 90% of the time originally allocated for the task. The last 10% will use the remaining 90% of time. Also after the integration is done, it needs to be turned into a patch, which is tested and then we'll propably know the day it comes out. It'll propably happen pretty quickly after they announce it. Now we just need to figure out how soon is soon from now, using the written history as reference.
  11. We have entered the tin foil hat zone. There is no return.
  12. I'd say that context you use it with matters. Put it on a car roof to make pretend General Lee Charger clone? I don't see any problem here. Put it on your billy-bob character's hunting vest? Mabye. Just keep your mouth in check. Use it anywhere while you act like a moron (hate speech, masked hate speech, wordplay of racistical term, glorification of slavery, anything which can be linked to racism really...)? Get out of my internet.
  13. I do not want to really even talk about N-HVR, but something needs to be done. I'm just kinda lost with it and wishing it wouldn't exist, but that's as much due to some silly mechanics (QS) in APB as it is about the gun itself. It's a fine sniper rifle if you use it only for sniping from a far, but it shouldn't be able to be used in CQC to the degree it is being used at the moment while still getting away with using it in such way. I mean QSing with it you can challenge ALL CQC WEAPONS in the game and get away with it?!?
  14. It isn't really that much of an issue and mostly pretty harmless except when they block mission objectives. That however requires that they know what your target is and the person to blame is either a friend of someone in opposing team or live stream viewer of someone in the match. It's something having active GMs can really help with though. However you can easily make yourself a target for griefing if you go crazy on the district chat or start whispering to the griefers. If you don't give them any reaction they'll get bored very quickly and move on.
  15. Some people think everything they personally can't replicate with 100% success rate is always cheatning and never just luck and/or skill. Given how much lag sometimes breaks things from clientside point of view, I don't put much credibility on video evidence unless it's goat level stuff. Better just stop wasting your time, let alone waste support's time at time like this with a lot of genuine tickets to handle about login issues like password reset mails going to defunct adresses, etc... Play the game, make love to /report as much as you like and move on.

    APB:RR?

    APB:REROADED ...I'll get me coat.
  17. I find it's accuracy being on the edge of being bad at least for the distance it still does 100% of it's damage at. You are going to miss a lot of shots from extreme distances unless enemy is entirely exposed (I have PR2 and the Old Glory) out in the open. If only half of their body is visible, you will miss a shot or two to RNG. And from any closer than the absolute edge of it's range, Obeya CR762 has you had in just over two thirds of the time it takes you to spit out enough bullets to kill a person. It's only advantages are that people don't think it as a threat and you literally just need to hold mouse1 and track them.
  18. I disagree. I think it's still on the edge of being too much of an obvious choice because it's a beast. I've been looking at all the weapons in APB and specially the both ends of "grand scheme of things" I see few anomalies. There's few guns at the top end that may require being looked at, but there is a ton more stuff that's sitting neglected thrown in the trash bin because they are utterly useless. Taking small surgical snips out of few of the top kek weapons and giving more focused roles to some of that unused garbage will even out the grand scheme of things nicely. I'd just take the extra 2 bullets away from N-TEC (more kalashnikov-ish) and maybe think about reload time (maybe make it same as on STAR). I'd allow it to stay as a very good weapon, but it needs a bit of a handicap somewhere. Not by much though, oh no. I'm talking like a change of 2 bullets and a 0,4 seconds here... NHVR I do not want to really even talk about, but something needs to be done. I'm just kinda lost with it and wishing it wouldn't exist, but that's as much due to some silly mechanics in APB as it is about the gun itself. It's a fine sniper rifle if you use it only for sniping from a far, but it shouldn't be able to be used in CQC to the degree it is being used at the moment while still getting away with using it in such way. I mean QSing with it you can challenge ALL CQC WEAPONS in the game and get away with it?!? On the other end, we have things like the norseman series which is like going into a fight without primary weapon at all... They are somewhat fun to use, but utterly garbage if your enemy is even near to your level (of skill) and full on suicide if the enemy is above your level.
  19. Since BE is a CLIENTSIDE anti-cheat, people would have noticed that. I mean, it's propably going to be the first real patch the game has seen in like 9 months (the patches we've had within that timeframe have just been in and out phasing of recycled holiday events).
  20. I would pay for a name change on US server, if there just weren't an unsettled dispute between still un-merged R9 and R10 characters over it...
  21. I don't like to be completely naked, leather seats and couch do become a bit uncomfortable if I am.
  22. I've sometimes wondered if APB is the prime target in the first place, as there is nothing to be gained from DDoSing it, but without knowledge on what else is hosted by same datacenters you can't really tell. Also the power of haterd and lengths people are willing to go when fueled by it must not be overlooked.
  23. Judging by what people usually wear when they are standing on a red carpet, we aren't far from that...
  24. There are more not-golds than golds in the playerbase. If there were to be a vote that was arranged democraticly, golds would lose most of these elections unless they get support from silvers. Pretty much. There are currently some gold players who have way more power over the game than the random silver due to their heards of followers and whatnot. I'm just a hermit living in a cave near the village, rarely seen by anyone.
