    I find it EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE that the Mask OF the President of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA has been removed.

    He IS YOUR President, IT IS A FACT!

    I am soo tired of this BS of kissing patootie to the apparently Social construct, which is ALSO FALSE!

    This Company is putting themselves in a liability situation, by taking sides.

    We are to here to play a game.

     

    Merged.

     

    This Game SHOULD NOT BE POLTICAL but YOU made it that way!

    Get  BACKBone AND  stop this insanity, You are wrong on ALL accounts.

    There is NO discussion  that needs to follow, YOU are wrong for doing this.

    And , it shows your weakness.

    i find it EXTREMELY BASED that the Mask OF the CLOWN IN CHIEF has been removed

    He IS YOUR CLOWN IN CHIEF, IT IS NOT RELEVANT PERTAINING TO WHETHER YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE THE MASK OR NOT, BUT IT IS A FACT!

    I am soo tired of righties getting triggered over other peoples expression of freedom of speech, while constantly crying on social media platforms about how they are "too big & should be regulated even more by the government" even though they have the right to delete fake news and pro-trump/white-supremacist propaganda, all of which are SUPER CRINGE!

    This Company is making a good call, by removing content which could make the user feel like they're supporting a game company that supports a xenophobic manchild, throwing tantrums on twitter.

    We are here to play a game.

     

    This Game SHOULD NOT BE POLITICAL and @MattScott removed the POLITICAL CONTENT added by G1!

    triggered conservative bros should Get BACKBone AND stop finding reasons to be triggered, You guys are cringe on ALL accounts.

    There IS a discussion that has followed, NICE EXAMPLE of closed-mindedness typically shown by ignorant conservatives, YOU are wrong for being upset over this.

    And, it shows your weakness.

    Where were you when Obama didn't get his mask? I certainly did not see you complaining about a lack of his mask during his presidency. Surely if you want POTUS representation in customization, you should be equally rooting for all options.

    STOP BRO HE CANT ANSWER THAT QUESTION HERE! HES GONNA SAY SOMETHING RACIST BRO!!! U KNOW THE ANSWER!!!!

    Hi all.

    This will be a very long TL:DR topic, so if you are one of those annoying childrens go away, im only interested in seeing what peoples think about the current state of the game and its future.

     

    So, let's begin.

    In the last month the game keep losing population, interest, less streamers cover it, less youtube channels do the same etc.

    Th advertising part is obviously dead, or never been a thing in the lasts... 6/7 years, and even if there was something, wasn't really made too popular or really visible.

     

    Argoments i wish to get an update on are these:

    - Names of chars and clans releases;

    - APB Brand Expanding in Asia and other details about that situation, which aren't at all clear;

    - EMP Granade;

    - New Vehicle;

     

    I can say for sure that if we don't have any news there aren't really thigns to talk about those argo, but the hype, the expectations, the waiting, everything is actually dead, totally.

    Isn't very cool honestly, because as of many of the playerbase left forever and many are waiting were hoping at least for something, after years of broken promises and no communications from G1.

    Everything past the Engine, the Customer Support (which is ended now), is totally silent, except few things said in the last blogposts, nobody from the talks about something, nobody announces new plans, new details, idk, anything new or not yet seen.

     

    The new vehicle for example, we don't even know how it is, how is gonna be called, which type of car is, how will impact the current gameplay choices, we don't know nothing about it, and is hilarious.

    Maybe the only thing we know is the name? "The Mirage"? Im not sure about that.

     

    The EMP Granade at least got a detailed description of it, how it works, how it will affect the gameplay choices, the envoirments, the characters, the vehicles etc.

     

    Talking about something other, why Little orbit really seems to not putting any efforts into publishing Legendaries and in general new items into the game?

    Well.. i wonder that also.

    STS Films always, or almost always, released trailers, teasers, and even very funny videos or series, episodes about apb, incredibly detailed descriptions of upcoming guns, showing how are used, what you can do and how that specific item will help you out, will make you decide to choose that.

    Little orbit, if im not wrong, never put out 1 video about their Legendaries, never put any effort into these things and i really can't understand why.

    Im not one of those peoples who buy something only based on images or from random youtube videos where they don't even talk about the details but just playing with that thing.

    A player could also skip one item, just because there isn't an official trailer, or something, to really listen, to really understand how That object is going to help you and how it is made.

    Few examples:

    https://youtu.be/F_T3McI5J0U

    https://youtu.be/DoZV43vmjVg

    https://youtu.be/E6GoUeJVbdg

     

     

    Alright, alright, calm down.

    STS Films isn't G1 and G1 isn't STS Films, but at least we could see, we could get excited, we could laugh, and in general was also a very cool thing to do together the community.

    None of that is now present.

     

    Even if STS Films is not at all connected to G1, things remain the same, nobody do videos like that for apb anymore, nobody.

    Also G1 published couple trailers about events, GM minigames, kill the dev etc, when LO doesn't.

    I really don't want to mark the different between the two companies but LO while being "not like G1", "not silent", is taking similar paths, which i don't like at all honestly.

     

    The only youtuber i really watch is Hei, and is the only one that i would suggest to who want to see real and uncut, clear, APB gameplay.

     

    Little Orbit don't even upload teasers for new events, maybe the only one was RIOT, which was that funny mode that needed to be permanent with full fledged Season Pass, different type of unique items, rewards, stylish visuals, effects, and a changed district map, customized for that same mode + much other.

    After that Matt came up saying "Oh but was just an experiment".

    An experiment with all that behind? Aight.. and then i do believe that Santa Clause exist, because he does 😗.

    Will blame whoever try to tell is not true.

     

    Well, apart from that, could we see maybe an early look at Halloween and Christmas events?

    The game is literally dying, suffering form its orrible state, and nothing is really happening, could we get some hype? could we get some good news also about the new engine apart from the classic weekly update?

     

    At the end, to finish, what are the plans for the next years?

    What LO have in their secret pockets?

    What are the multi-year improvements and/or updates?

    Are we Ever going to know about them, if any?

     

     

    Let me know what you think and what you "expect".

    Would be cool if someone from the team or from SPCT to comment under here also, to give.. some "extra" details on things i talked about, if allowed obviously.

     

    Lastly, peace and love, stay safe, Inside and Outside, use the mask to protect yourself and the ones around you.

    ❤️

     

    happy reading,

    Alisha.

     

    LO has been adding legendaries and other weapons into the game via JT shop & revamping weapon unlocks through the JT shop to create a grind beyond 255.

     

    this entire wall of text is just complaining about the lack of trailers and legendary weapon showcases from LO directly. I dont know why anyone would want them to spend any time on something as redundant as a legendary showcase video, or an event trailer. you have the community making these vids for them, who cares?

    3. comes out when new contacts are released. new contacts will come out when engine upgrade is finished.

    In normal working games with dynamic populations - meeting cheater is rarity, mainly due high population of overall players, to that there is big rotation of them causing cheaters to be mostly flushed out by sheer numbers of all other players.

    yeah but how many active cheaters do you really think there are in apb? it works both ways... if the game is dead, less people play it = less people cheat on it.

     

    games pop is prob avg 350-450, and you might see maybe... 4 or 5 cheaters every now and then? (probably the same people rerolling) so only 1-2% of the pop is consistently cheating?

    1. Flatten skill curve - which is impossible as each player is unique on it's own and skilled less or more.

    2. Lock people in corresponding sections of knowledge and skill curves - newbie for greens, basic for bronze, seasoned for silver, veteran for gold - quick solution which might create problem of creating new characters just to dethreat and kill off veteran population (due to insanely high skill in group which some might not meet). In positive (but unlikely case) it can create it's own curves within each population (newbies, basic, seasoned, veterans) and prevent intermixing in battles newbies and veterans so the first group can really learn and have fun and other have proper challenge matching their knowledge.

    3. Flatten knowledge curve - while you can't make newbie posses veteran knowledge, you can make them posses at least basic one. Proper and interactive tutorial (not current wall of text) - something like we had in past during first years of G1 reign - just learning you to do everything you need to know about APB. That way we at least lift up newbies to basic status - which would help them already a lot. PVE interactivity can also help less skilled players (or this who look for other activities than constant PvP) to enjoy themselves despite PvP competiveness and toxicity - although I imagine brining such action to reality would need total redesign of game.

    4. Open discussion? - Democracy is not bad but we as community really need to think of action, not just leave it as it is and say "it's alright" - it ain't.

     

    I see LO doing something in regard to players being pushed away by veterans (actions like bringing ARMAs to Joker Distribution are great) but it seems that this actions are not enough.

    they've talked about making a better tutorial and changing how matchmaking works, they need to push the engine upgrade out before touching anything like that.

     

    rather have threat be disabled than have any threat system at all honestly, game is so much more enjoyable when there's a variety of different players and playstyles to play against. i feel like there's not even a point in playing the game if im playing against the same 3 or 4 people every mission.

    Right now your best choice is just to grab Clotting Agent and be good.

    But what if we gave Kevlar users a chance and buff the mod a bit so it will be used more.

     

    If so in which way would you change this modification?

    Personally I think Kevlar users should be a tiny bit faster.

    The health buff that the mod provides doesn't guarantee that you will dodge the second/third shot that was supposed to be absorbed and instead you are just like a sitting duck.

     

    Please discuss....

    or just change clotting to make the other mods appealing.

     

    idk why we love making balancing suggestions around clotting, and the last thing I'd want to do is change kevlar just so that it can be on-par or competitive with clotting. lowering the movement speed penalty from where it is right now will just make it too good, and if you choose to buff kev 3s damage reduction, you're just gonna fuck with a ton of weapons TTKs. also, dont feel like playing on offense against people defending objectives (where they dont really have to move at all) who have a mod equipped that pretty much guarantees my death as long as they dont suck.

    Kevlar need to have about +40 - 60% HP to have a chance against Clotting Agent.

    I think it definitely could work, give it a same kind of windup as true ogre.

    Something along the lines of 0,4 second wind-up, 0,5 kill time, with recoil and accuracy that is punishing enough to not be able to hit all shots beyond 20-30m meters.

    Depending on the fire rate, lets say a kill requires 10 bullets, then a suitable magazine size would be 40-50.

    god no. wtf?

    No, it doesn't work because they develop singleplayer games, because cyberpunk is also multiplayer.

    It does work because CD Proejct Red is CD Project Red, and they grown an extremely good trust behind them.

    Is one of the favorite companies for me, if not the first.

     

    I would have prefered a radio silence instead of dates thrown around like all the times.

    so CD projekt delays a game for years & its ok cus theyre cd projekt, but LO, a company that bought a dying game that you care about, has been finishing off what G1 couldnt finish, who have improved the QoL of said game in more ways than G1 ever did, cant give rough timeframes in which they *hope* the engine upgrade will be finished?

     

    at least u've been able to actually play APB for the past decade, cyberpunk has been in development for probably the same amount of time apb has been made F2P.

    This was a nerf to JG Snubbing which achieved a .1 ttk which was absolutely broken if played properly, the snub is a bad gun but that was aknowledged plenty of times throughout the past weeks.

     

    lazy nerf, should just add a bolt timer to shotguns to prevent quickswitching. problem solved, now the snub isnt useless for literally every other gun except the JG.

     

    bolt timer/pump timer mechanic isn't used enough in this game, there are weapons that are naturally more powerful when quickswitching, you cant just nerf a sidearm that is only powerful when using these specific weapons, when the sidearm itself isn't that remarkable to begin with.

    How are we different from Reddit lets say ? are the moderators here think we are some kind of superiority in the internet that we dont have downvote any longer ? all the big sites have downvote option of some kind and here we have our "superior" APB: Reloaded forum where we cant downvote, downvote is crucial for a healthy forum, people need to know when their stuff is disliked by the community and the forum members.

    What do you think, how are we different ?

    Would like an "official" answer from the staff here if they have one.

    if u dont like something, use ur words to express why u dislike it

     

    if u dislike it for an irrational or illogical reason, u will be cringed at and u prob should clean up ur act or just leave the forums. apb prob has a subreddit, if u wanna flame and disagree with people but not vocally cus u cba to form an argument or u just hate the person posting, go there, prob good for that cus they have a downvote button.

    You will get people going 'no your opinion is stupid and you should stop spouting stupid crap'

     

    Thus creating more toxicity. Removing negative reaction is literally just a piss poor attempt to make the forums appear less salty and toxic. Instead its just going to make it more toxic.

     

    Again. If you were even somewhat aware of what the forums were like 3 years ago, you would probably rather have negative reactions than having 900 people quoting you to tell you 'haha you're a fucking idiot'

     if someone is gonna flame me but not prove me wrong, idc, flame away, they're wrong and they're mad lmao

     

    not like it matters anyway, toxicity is moderated now. if you disagree with someone, you have to do so somewhat civilly.

    right before the nerf i mained CSG + Pig on my enf and alot of people disliked it.... it was literally like hvr quick switching only with an added 60 second respawn timer. 

     

    thank god the pig was nerfed 

    except the pig is hardcapped at 10m, the CSG is good up to 20/25m

     

    quickswitching to pig with shotgun is pointless when you can just do it with a dog ear, or any other gun with long range capabilities and high enough stam damage to make the combo work.

     

    so they pretty much just nerfed quickswitching to the pig as a whole, while pig percing (the reason why they're even nerfing the pig at all) is still cringe.

    LMFAO everything makes sense, and those nerfs was looked at by people with thousands and thousands of gameplay hours as everything has purpose to it LMFAO

    games a decade old, a lot of people who are bronze have thousands of hours in the game.

     

    people hated pig/perc combo, it's one of the fastest ways to stun someone in the game, so what do they do? they nerf the pig so that it combos even worse with the other LTL weapons, while the same pig/perc combo that everyone hates is still in the game.

     

    idk how closed-minded you'd have to be to disregard questionable balance changes just because "they did it for a reason." remember the ir3 changes? remember the shredder minttking you from 50 meters? how about that one time they rolled out an oca nerf but completely forgot about the whisper for months?

    That is a big claim. Kindly elaborate as to why reducing stamina damage on Percussion Grenades is not viable.

     

    funny thing is, they could just butcher the percs stam damage and touch up the CCG and keep this pig change in the game, and it would work out fine

    R-2 Harbinger - Recovery time is too high - recomended 0.450 -> 0.380(or 0.4) (allow to use this weapon more often ... cause now its trash at longer distance then 5m) - also will advice to change Damage from 25% up to 30% it will still be 4 shoots but will remove that aspect of clothing agent 3 healed up which adds 1 up to 2 shoots if you wait long enough
    Obeya CR762 - Per Shot Modifier - recomended 0.44 -> 0.5 (or 0.48), Recovery Delay 0.1 -> 0.12 - just to nerf that macro type of playstyle
    SG-21 'Strife' - Fire Interval - recomended 1.25 -> 1 (or 1.1) - noone uses that cause it has longest ttk ever as for cqc weapon
    JG - Fire interval 0.65 -> 0.7(or 0.75) - or something between - removes Overpowerness from JG
    CSG/TAS - Fire Interval 0.7 -> 0.75(or 0.72) - still good at longer distances but give up on few weapons on close cqc
    Scout's - Damage 60% -> 57% - still allows to 2 taps but removes overpower aspect out of it
    Joker SR15 - now its sniper rifle i'm not sure reducing crosshair size increase was a good idea (it was good as it was now its macro weapon

    AMG-556 - need increased horizontal recoil by 10% up to 15%
    N-SSW + VAS SW2 - Fire Interval 0.155 -> 1.6
    Concussion Grenade - Ghost damage if you drop a nade incorectly (somehow damage is better below grenade then it going around the grenade)
    OCA-EW 626 - why buffing already good weapon ??
    N-TEC 5 - useless buff. like why ...
    should i remember ppl there is a gun named Temptress ? which also need a some kind of nerf ...
    more maybe later on...
    PS. tell what you think about those changes?

    AMG needs a harder nerf

    the recent scout changes should be reverted entirely

    CSG shouldnt be nerfed because the JG is just better/easier to use, even after your proposed changes to the JG/CSG.

    I feel like the strife just shouldnt be touched, it's not a bad weapon, just fills a niche ig.

    I agree the harbinger needs to be changed but I hate how we're choosing to balance everything around clotting 3.

     

    clotting 3 meta is what needed to be addressed the most, an entire games weapon balance shouldn't be heavily influenced on a single mod that almost everyone uses. it's time for a change, whether it's a nerf/rework or whether it's buffing the default regen rate to match clotting 3

    Boo Hoo, they nerfed my go to secondary so i have to whine on the forums, grow up, everything has a reason to it.

    so, why are you here lmfao

    I assume they wanted to add a high risk, high reward to the combo. You only are aware of its lethality when you are on the other hand of it.

    The point wasn't really nerfing quickswitching but rather embracing it. But then again, I am just playing devils advocate here.

     

    Maybe they can buff the nonlethals afterwards to make up for this. Or god forbid, add new ones.

    idk, I feel like the only one that needs love is the TG8. NL9 is underrated, if only people used it more.

     

    nerfing the pigs damage just destroys lethal/pig quickswitching. now the fastest way to stun is to pig/perc, period. i dont think landing a perc is really difficult or risky at all, aim it at their feet and as long as they're within 3m of the impact, the perc will stun.


  15. 26 minutes ago, Bellenettiel said:

    So you mean to say, that the problem wasn't pig being nerfed but the rest being mediocre? 

    tbh i just dont understand the logic behind the recent pig nerf. pig/percing is, afaik, still really good after a change like this... and most people who use the pig are pig/percing. 

     

    if they wanted to nerf it's quickswitching capabilities, then why not nerf the pigs equip time?

     

    they said something about how the change will make people be more accurate with their percs, which is sorta stupid because it isnt hard to land a perc within it's 100% damage radius.

    it makes complete sense. if someone agrees with me, I dont need or want them to reply to me "yooo brooo! thats sooo basedd!! i agree!!!" they can express that through a like reaction.

    Yes, that's what I denounced the change for since you could move on by leaving a "dislike" without having to engage into a pointless discussion.

    There is to differentiate between a discussion of value where it is a matter of opinion (both parties have a valid perspective) and then the "discussion" where one party is simply wrong. 

    The latter is the one which got usually shot down by dislikes and perceived as harassment by the creator when they could simply not handle their own ego.

    That is not an abuse of the system but just people growing tired talking to a wall.

    so this is where we disagree, I dont think you should come to a forum where discussions are meant to be taken place, just to come in and press a button that says "disagree" and then walk out. if someone wanted a yes/no answer, they would just make a poll. if the thing you're disliking is braindead, it shouldn't take long to whip up a reply calling them out. If someone consistently posts braindead garbage and gets flamed for it, or just gets mass-disliked, they're either baiting & it's obvious, or they're so misinformed and closed minded it's not even worth discussing with them in the first place.

    Completely missed the point. I said it doesn't matter how fundamentally correct your reply is and how supportive your arguments are when they are simply being ignored.

    I know what you're getting at and and I generally agree with you under the pretext that both parties can hold a discussion while being open to reason.

    e.g. how do you handle someone that always thinks they are right?

    If someone always thinks they're right, even after proving them wrong completely or they fail to address counterarguments, there's nothing you can really do about it, and I feel as though their ignorance would sorta show how unimportant their input is in the first place if they're unwilling to address counterarguments, no matter how stupid they are. If people choose to be narrow-minded, they will eventually out themselves by their own narrow-mindedness.

    Could be that you're right, maybe there won't be a change but I think that individuals that see themselves approved by only receiving "likes" when all the "dislikes" cease tend to escalate things because there was just no one there to put an end to it. I'm closing in on a decade of surfing these forums and there comes a point where I prefer to click that dislike button instead of typing the same thing for the hundredths time, especially when it is towards the same person. Someone who doesn't accept the result from their last discussion which was to their displeasure and then start anew are not interested in a discussion. Do that often enough and the only people left are the ones that agree. Not because they are right but because they won through attrition.

    i see your point, but i feel as though these repetitive complaints and bad takes have names attached to them. the same people complaining about (x) have the same people putting them in their place.

    Where did i say ban? Simply revoke the rights. It's pretty easy to tell when someone intentionally goes on a "dislike-spree" in someones past comments.

    it would be easy to see if someone is being bombarded by dislikes by a particular user, but how enforceable could a rule like that really be? if someone disagrees with a lot of things you said, they should be allowed to express that they disagree. if they manually go through and reply, you would be able to gauge whether they're disagreeing in bad faith, or if they genuinely just don't agree. you can't really tell what their intentions are when the disagreement is just expressed through a single reaction.

    Pretty much full circle, what if you do all that?

    You come well prepared, your arguments are sound, your sources are valid and scientifically proven, you disassemble their point and show them their flaws.

    But instead of progress they repeat the same thing and you're left running circles. That's not a discussion. So, yes, pretty please, a dislike button so one can see at one glimpse that the
    overall opinion is that the idea is rubbish.

    It could also be that someone else already shot down the argument with points I agree with. So adding a dislike to the main post to support/oppose ads the same relevant input as repeating the same argument in an extra post below. Remove the dislikes and you have no idea about the actual census until fully dissecting the thread.

    I feel like it would ultimately depend on who's running who around circles. if someone regurgitates the same garbage over and over again that has already been dissected and debunked by another person, they're just making an patootie of themselves, and to express that, people could then like the reply of the user who owned the dumb guy. 

     

    dumb guy loses because dumb guy wont address counterarguments and keeps blathering on and on, while counterargument guys win because they get likes on their replies in which they own the dumb guy blathering on and on about something stupid.

    people who disagree with your opinions can no longer do so with just a press of a button, which forces people to engage in discussions.

    if the person says something dumb like "everyone i play against is cheating, waaah" then they'll get roasted. if someone has a hot take and you disagree with it, you have to engage with the person who disagrees with you, unless you don't care enough to reply to them, then you just move on.

    We know words will be met with deaf ears, or per see blind eyes, and "dislikes" were an easy to understand medium for these individuals. 

    if you disagree with someone and you aren't willing or able to whip up a reply that supports your thoughts against their opinion, you should really question how confident you really are about your position.

    Can't wait to see what happens to the forums when these topics keep spreading and people grow tired of pointlessly replying to those stupid suggestions.

    i dont think the removal of a dislike button will change the frequency at which someone accuses half of the playerbase of cheating, accuses LO of banning (name) for "no reason," accusing LO of not knowing wtf they're doing, accusing LO of running the game into the ground, or claims that APB is *OFFICIALLY* dead because <steamcharts link>.

    What's left will be all the idiots enforcing each other in their bogus since no sane person will be left over.

    it's simple... if you disagree with someone, tell them why, and if the reason you gave them isn't supported by anything beyond anecdotal evidence that seems sorta cringe, then you're probably wrong and they're probably right. the people that relied on a dislike button to express a disagreement with someone will leave, while the people who actually want to discuss apb stuff will stay.

    Instead of regulating the bad apples and taking away the crayons from the abusers we are left with a doomed carebear system.

    so you hate the idea of a dislike button being removed, but you'd prefer to have a dislike button and just banning people who abuse it? how can you tell whether someone is disliking in bad faith? you cant.

    Not sure what's healthy about someone saying the earth is flat then ignoring all reason brought forth leading to a pointless back and forth.

    Just dropping a "dislike" and moving on seems like a lot less friction. I am just not sure you will be happy with the "community interaction" to come.

    debating a flat earther is the biggest waste of time ever, so what do you do? you ignore it. unless you want to engage in such a stupid conversation, then do it, but if a flat earther comes more prepared to the discussion than you have, then they WILL prove you wrong. there are people who spend an insane amount of time in learning about flat earth theories/conspiracies, which is why they're confident enough to discuss it. if you say to them "lol but what about gravity" they're just gonna own you with some insanely cringe in-depth tinfoil hatter logic that you don't know anything about, so you can't actually prove them wrong without studying it yourself.

     

    if you cant ignore people who are super wrong about something, and you have to express how much you disagree with them, you should be able to back up why you disagree with them. if you need to rely on a button for that, you shouldn't be engaging in discussions at all because your input isn't relevant.

    Why are you playing on bronze district, stomping new players and dethreating on purpose before leaving the game, then repeating the same action over and over? This was SURELY addressed countless times but honestly, I didn't read that much into it, but if there are people on this forum who are like this, tell me, what is the purpose of doing this? Because the bonus exp and cash for killing is what, 5% more than normal if you get 20 more kills on bronze and green players? What is the problem of playing on silver districts when you've already mastered APB to it's core, stomping people on the same level as you rather than new comers that might even stay with the game, if they wouldn't get their patootie kicked all the time by people with incredible skills that are supposed to be shown on SILVER districts (or gold, that is always a ghost town).

     

    I also have cranked that 3k hours mark but i'm bad at shooters, so I stick with bronze, I just love the idea of APB and i'm playing it with friends from time to time. I like grouping up with new players that can somewhat grasp english and show them how exactly this game works, some ropes, advices, etc. and say "hey, it can be bad at the start, but later on it gets better when YOU get better" (and then everybody clapped). 

     

    I honestly wish for these old 2012-2014 APB times to comeback, with old main menu login screen, where everyone was usually bronze and silvers weren't fake golds.

    because there are some people who think cheaters run rampant in APB, and these same people dethreat and ruin the game for gold players who are just trying to play normal matches, just so they can stomp on newer players or lower threat players.

     

    dethreaters kill the game for new players more than cheaters ever have.

    Botters, Not just the triggerbots or the Bobfirebots or the fasthandswapfirebots or even the fastcasewepswapbots you will see 70% of the time, the worst are the graprunjumpfiregrabcarryitembots.  The fact that this was a problem back in RTW closed beta, that still not been fixed is wrong. I do know it was on the list to be fixed by RTW, but as the company was dying it was put on the back burner. This is an easy fix, but RTW did not do it because they had digger issues like the jumpfire with the hvrs that was being debated.

     

     

     

    this is the most based thing ive ever read on the internet, ever. graprunjumpfiregrabcarryitembots might single-handedly kill off APB Reloaded as we know it. If graprunjumpfiregrabcarryitembots weren't awful enough, we also gotta deal with those pesky good-for-nothing fastcasewepswapbots, who usually team up with their friends who use fasthandswapfirebots. the only way we can save APB is if we combine our triggerbots, Bobfirebots, & the almighty fasthandswapfirebots of our own if we're desperate enough.

    Duh. But they can do better then they already are. Tell me after years of the same acc ban only has it really done much besides have new accounts made to bypass the ban? Im well aware not everyone is cheating but those that are need to be caught.

    maybe you need to face the reality that you're playing a free to play game owned by a company that can't afford to develop an inhouse kernel-based AC that forces the same 5-10 people off the game, just to have them reformat their PC, swap around some hardware, and be back cheating again. BE does what it's supposed to do, and can only do so much. 

     

    the hackerwave has been dead for years, put the arc to rest. I would find it highly unlikely you've played against a single cheater within the past couple of weeks.
