I would agree that loyalty rewards needs work, along with new cars, trucks, weapons cloths, ect Giving me a temporary gun, that I already have several copies of just clutters my locker. That said, I know they are working hard on the AC, and that is needed to justify any purchase, or just playing in general without purchase. I see the AC working, I am seeing names of knowns missing and others that are expressing anger in the waiting time for missions, and or acts of trollism that indicate anger/retaliation on the part of said knowns. This trolling is par for the course and has only encouraged me to buy into premium. Misery loves company, and the hax become miserable, they want everyone to be miserable. Even if I lose I still make enough to cover ammo and car spawns, however i do despise the car spawn fee. I think that the results we want with the AC will take time, the more they hack the more it learns. When they get toxic and car troll or chat troll, it opens them up to behavior reports that are just as effective if not more than the AC. So slowly the hax will start to disappear, they will become tired of rerolling new hack accounts, end up blaming the game for their own lack of interest saying its Boring, or no decent opp, no content, ect. They'll run off to some other game. I had very little faith in the AC, but I think LO has found something that works.

They won't stop it. Thats what they want, to compete with other combat games is a Squad based play. I think the golden groups help bring up low threats into gold more than a lone wolf teamed with equal amount as the group. I feel its unfair to the non-groupie. I don't like groups because I have my own agenda, which almost never the same as the agenda of the group leader. So it may be a cop group that wants to LtL and I dont want to, I want sub machine gun kills for instance. Not to mention I don't like you kid's current version of electronic noise, just as U kids don't like my pre 80s music.

08/28 MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
MACKxBOLAN replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
I know. But the grieving went on for like 40 min, and i went thru 3 vehicles. started soon as i spawned in. totaled my first car, then i switched to pioneer cuz they had one, and they followed me and kept pinning me and holding me. she had help with other golds piling cars up in a line behind her pioneer so i could not push my way out. The whole time she was doing it, she was complaining that she had been waiting 20+ minutes for a mish. So its basically a hacker who got punished, and they figure they gonna tax mack in retaliation for the shadow ban. So the report was a last ditch action, even continued to block me as my team mates started spawning in my vehicle. So it was obvious i was inna mission. and even if not. there is no reason to bother the old guy, just because i wont buy hax. So it wasn't direct mission blocking at the mission obj, but they pinned me for several minutes and my mission came during this third time of pinning me, and she had a helper gold. Then whilst this went on, a bunch of other golds came n stood on my truck. ya know first thing in the morning. trying to get my coffee. I think i know who she is, due to the time of morning. That I haven't seen her alts in district for a few weeks. and I do believe that if she has cheat points and is restricted from missions, that further behavior report will get more points on her if LO takes action on it. I might add that I made no further reports yesterday toward others that i knew were hacking. Even though the entire rest of my team including two golds were calling them hax, they were lag switching and botting. Their response was to say that I myself was hacking, n i dint even hacusate em. I said it must be my village cable n moved on. So there is evidence that the AC is working to Matts idealism. just not mine. I want em banned and gold removed. The result of the shadow ban is that the hacker attacks known legits and prevent them from doing mission. See I don't want their gold, gold just means your a tryhard or hacker in a casual game. But if matt wants to be paid, the threat system has to be redone. Games a joke, NA is full of hackers, and his ideal is to give them gold and let them stay in a mission district even with cheat points. So they can mission block and harrass in retaliation. @MattScott -

WAR IS DECLARED! Reason: Group of Golds pinned my truck and wouldn't let me respond to mission. Not once in some fun, 3x followed me around kept pinning me. Ofcourse LO will find my report. Group lead by known hacker, complaining about waiting in cue 20min. So someone who was shadow banned. I don't know what U hacker think, but I aint the one who reported you. but NOW, imma report everything I see or even think. -
Golds kicks new players from mission
MACKxBOLAN replied to PonuryZniwiarz's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Without disagreeing on the hardness of getting gold, Silver should be harder to get for the bronze. The trip thru silver to gold should be comparable to the trip from thru bronze to silver. I can be bronze and do one obj or make one or two kills and be silver, and still lose. I can be silver an win and get a few kills and no gold. The Sweat/Hacker comes in, new name in district, and low rank, and goes gold in two missions. I think the algorithm penalizes older accounts for every L they ever took. It doesn't consider all the actions of the player as team contributing, unless you're talking kills. For instance; I can cut off the opp, hold them off a minute, and they kill me but I've delayed them while my team rolls to the next point. I can use tagger and patrol perimeter, tag em alert the team to the enemy presence and direction, be killed but maybe only get an assist, otherwise zero credit for my contribution. You put me in a 2v2 with a gold tm, im gonna dethreat because its the two top scores, n if there are only two of us, then im gonna dethreat. They come in and hack or exploit to gold in 2 missions, maybe get caught and or punished but they keep the gold. Now I know Matt isn't going to just Give me gold, or make a 'Gold Premium' I've asked numerous times for LO to spell out and post the perimeters of upthreat and dethreat, They wont. The only thing LO has done regarding threat levels is desegregate and screw all the legits out of earning gold. They have never attempted to rewrite it, alter it ect. Simple I'm not going to pay him as long as not being gold is so frowned upon by the sweats, and a clear written path to gold is written out, and or the threat system is revised. -
Golds kicks new players from mission
MACKxBOLAN replied to PonuryZniwiarz's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Because Matt and LO have catered to golds for 7 years since desegregation. Golds sat in this forum 7yrs ago and cried daily to be let into bronze district. They claim such low pop in Silver/Gold district made their game unplayable. So LO decided to desegregate claiming low pop. Effectively ruining the game for anyone not gold or not using hax, special cofigs, exploiting off secondary accounts, ect. So your average joe could no longer compete. I mean they put T-ranks vs Gold Max ranks. Then claim its again the low pop that mm puts these together. When they wouldn't have low pop if they had an effective AC, if they would put in more content, contacts, new vehicles ect. The pop increased slightly per district after desegregation but its all one sided wins for the golds. which stomping on bronze and low silvers keeps the gold Gold. Now I dont wanna turn this into a Rant, But I'm here and feel LO is due a Rant. The path to gold is ez for those cheating, The golds try to make the threat level a Social Class, and berate anyone not holding gold, as if it is the medium average, and any fool should be able to gain gold within two missions and go 50-2. Secondly I wouldn't be caught dead with Your new Gold 10 title, why i want to identify with the bullys and try hards and hackers? Why Golds can't accept they cried their way into bronze district n scream foul when they see a bronze or silver. Then they got this new leader board, another catering to golds act. Then they have the audacity to want paid premium that doesn't include Gold for the duration of the premium. @MattScott I won't give you a penny till I am gold and the path to gold is listed and described in a forever pinned post. I feel that 90% of golds got to gold by cheating, that being exploiting with multiple accounts or friends willing to throw, or straight hacking with aimers, getting to the astronomical score of 50--2, you don't ban anyone now, and ya dont tell anyone if they got hack points so how are we legits and or the hacker to know they been Jailed or Shadow Banned just because they waiting on a mission for too long, when that could just be mm. You have no way of signaling the legit that it is safe to k up. You don't even bring me numbers without names as to how many players detected cheating/punishment issued. The first thing of penalty should be taking their gold! -
Golds kicks new players from mission
MACKxBOLAN replied to PonuryZniwiarz's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Not always golds, however it's common with a certain clan or two, they want u out so they can get back up from one of their mates who will be waiting k, Common method is to Car Ride and make u drive, then jump off in front of you to cause a tk. If Lo could remove the demerit from tk's caused by running over with a car, it may help. You're right there should be a ban or cheat points whatever given to a player that does that, that said, you would have to film or record it, then send the recording via CS Ticket. Then in the end if they decided to punish them, it would be a hand slap. My advice is watch out for them doing that, if they shoot ya few times, dont shoot back, if they car ride, dont drive em, and when you see em trying, probly best to just reboot/relog -
Escalation in my opinion, is only good for sweats. Now it may effect the outcome of the mission itself, win or lose. But it plays to these sweats who are more into a kill count than the mission. It also helps to dethreat the original team. It brings in golds or more golds, who regardless of win or loss will sweat out a higher score just as a back up man, than the original team, so either way you're gonna de threat. Its easier to do a mission and use tactical moves to win when its just 2v2 thru 4v4. When U have loads of back up coming, rollin in from all directions normal tactics are not possible. Then some of those back up guys will end up fighting each other miles away from the objective, cause they crossed paths or were in site of each other when they entered the mission. Meh, you kids can keep it, I just mug or impound beings the average player goes 50-2.

15th Anniversary Was A Letdown
MACKxBOLAN replied to Darkzero3802's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
I would agree there should have been much more. And not just the event but as a normal bit, they should be coming up with large amounts of new items, like a full sized pick up truck, like a medium revolver, like new hair styles fitting the newer age. Now these are things I would want but not necessarily everyone. But anything more than titles. This would be common in other business models to have significant additions over time. I suppose I can be hard to satisfy beings I own most of the stuff, but I can't be alone in that most of the long time players have almost everything. My point being that Events and Joker/Armas Sales aren't much help unless you have something new to buy. No reason to do missions to grind tickets or buy them if ya have nothing to buy, no new contact, further reason for no missions, n thats not just me. Remember how it was after the last contact dropped, we were packed. Now I do appreciate that most of LO's work recently has gone into the new AC -
Kevlar 3 Needs Buff
MACKxBOLAN replied to EC2Jonathan's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Hate to say it, but I totally agree with the 'clown'. I think K3 makes you run way too slow for what it is, its not a Bomb suit. None of the K 1,2,3 are worth wearing, n if ya have 3 on, you get maybe one extra shot or two if its a smaller gun, but mostly one more shot till you're dead, i have no clue how or if you heal after the fact if wearing kev. Kevlar doesn't work that way in real life, unless you hit the same spot more than once. The kevlar will continue to take rounds in other areas without harm, more than a bruise, and it could knock ya down, knock the wind out of ya. but u wont be dead. It should be both buffed and the run speed penalty reduced. In comparison to running fragile which puts at about 85% of health, meaning one good sniper takes you out. but smaller guns you get again one shot and you'll live, to compare with kev 3 where u would get the same one extra shot taken from a small gun or a sniper. I mean your kev models should give much more to k 1,2 to be worth anything, and k3 should be very sturdy. It should stop 2 or more high power rounds, 3,4 rounds of smaller guns, it should also stop an equal amount of damage taken by frag type nades. And you need to rebuff or unnerf the perc's effect on stamina. Just my 2 cent. -

Sure, I'll go for now. But you have been subjected to a bit of psych warfare. In your case I appealed to your obsessive Vanity. The Lesson I spoke of was to let you and your cronies know, I can play forum troll too. I can even make that long trip over to EU where I have a Mack character n roast ya all over the pond where you all must live/play. I'll come in here and quote/read the newspaper, all I have to do is touch on the subject of the thread, and of course not the political page of the paper. Truth be told I don't find either of your pics suitable for my taste, I just wanted to phyc you n your bro, or is it bruh koney. With him I used reverse pych. -

Let That be a Lesson to ya both. Not like I haven't learned a few things from watching trolls troll for 10 yr. Very Young pic of Mr. Rogers, Do ya know they had to special make that mask, cuz they only made them in the child size then, which were discontinued due to the nose being a choking hazard for kids in later years. The nose being made of plush or stuffed animal material. -

I saw a dif picture of you in discord, unless there are two Ardita's in discord. I thought she was attractive. Idk it seems you and koney and some others have trouble reading, or have trouble understanding the jest of written text. And I assume that would be due a young age or possibly developmental issues. That said, I would appreciate you using the other picture if you're going to have it all over the social forum. This one is plenty cute but I like the other one more. -

I feel the same way about most people's posts here. You have to understand that at my age I don't give a tinkers damn what others players think of me or what I post. Second, You need to understand that I view and perceive them for the most part as adolescent trolls. I see zero value from gaining likes or agreement from such people. You kids that think that streaming your game battle and or streaming with cheats is an act valued by the masses, Kids that think that their gaming success ( in an ancient run down game) means something irl. As if a gold threat or how much trash you can talk in game chat or your streams and steams are of some value and an endorsement of your social intelligence, and that those without such endorsements have zero right to use chat or forum. I too rarely read what any of you have to say, i only check the social menu for posts from staff. Then I only post if its a subject that interests me which is rare compared to some of you, or if I am tagged in a post. Then It doesn't matter if I rant and rage or if I have a simple one line to say about MM or nerfs ect. You trolls will find the post out of all of them and raze me for it. Then when you do, I simply consider you as 'One of Them' as in haters, hackers, trolls, ect. I think you kids don't like me cause I wont buy your hacks, don't agree with your 'Youngster Main Stream Bullying" I mean first off, if i was willing to hack, the game as it sets would not be worth hacking, this would devalue the game more. Beings it would clutter the screen and further the unauthenticness of this pretendland we call APB. See You kids see it as just another shooter, I see it as a fantasy Adam-12 cops and robbers game, more recently I see it as a Good vs Evil platform taken over via desegregation by the Evil Bad People. Another thing, see You kids lack what was a standard in upbringing back in the day. That being Class and Morals. -

Funny, we play the same world, n all I see are the known hax, same stuff dif day. Only there are less legits, n if ya k up n do a mission its gonna be me vs golds. I went back to war thunder. Missions don't pay, very little cash compared to what i can steal as crim and about equal to what i can farm stolen cars as a cop, in about the same amount of time as a cop with stolen impounds as ya get in a mission. That would include the cash boost from prem, still not enough to be worth the time and effort of a mission. With such a low pop in NA giving the hax hacker points is simply useless. You will be brought in by MM to those very missions those with hackers points are involved in. Course they're chatting openly about their hax in game chat and discord. Then I really don't need money or tickets, they have nothing worth buying or that I don't have, so why mission or even steal. You kids have fun hacking each other. -
The MM has been rigged to favor golds for some 7 yrs since desegregation. The Car enter delay should only be present during missions not during idle time, and it's too long, They could half the time of the delay and still accomplish their goal. They don't have any new weapons, certainly not worth the JT, nor additions to the joker weapon store. So no real motivation to buy tickets or get em from side jobs. No new contacts or content, really making missions obsolete. I did purchase a 1 month prem as 'good Faith' for the new AC. However that is a failure as they all have been, so I won't be renewing the prem. Not just that the ac is a failure but they have zero reason to mission without a new contact, a need for game cash or a need for JT's. Unless you're a glutton for gold punishment, there's really no reason to k up or mission. FC can be fun but only if fully popped. Ah, Same shit dif day.

Threat level has zero to do with my suggestion/opinion. To me its a matter of realism or realistic guns that do realistic damage. What makes you think my experience is miserable? I set goals and follow them in my grind of tickets, weapons, ect. What are referring to my hatred of hackers and due to their sociopathic nature are to me, the epidemy of Evil. Or is it my distaste for Golds as opp or tm's in a world NA, of being low pop but high in gold players, and an MM that feeds bronze and low silver to stacked golds?? You're grasping at straws coming in here trollin and then ya throw salt, have zero to say about subject, but feel gratified you threw salt and implied I have a miserable gaming exp. Funny I spend most of my idle time in district watching D chat and watching all u gold punks whining and sniveling about everything from hackers and if they spam rockets whilst running, to if they have mini sub secondary and a pmg. half of ya running multiple char's on separate pc's, n start talking to yourselves, then arguing with each other.

@MageLO I have been waiting for prem to be available, and did a 1 month. I already had extra g1c and used it, not using a cc for this purchase. I recieved the 1500jt yet my clan title cannot be used or is grey, and on armas it says Subscribe, after the purchase i checked it n it still says im not subscribed, and that a cc is needed. Is this for recurring billing? and why is my clan title not usable as a title?
