Hope they do shut it down. Its All hackers now and LO doesn't care. Rules only apply to the single legit player left. Me. Stop rewarding hackers with gold. DEVEST and Resegregate golds. They aren't fixing the MM they are trying to turn it into a gold feeding match. They arent trying to fix MM so that golds arent involved in legit players missions, and or that golds can have match's without legit bronzes mucking up their team. Let golds fight golds only. Staff should be fixing the car and dealing with the non anticheat than trying to rewrite the game into a gold feeding sandbox so they can just sit by the point and the aimbot just mows the opp down, oh yea sure they gonna want to escalate so they can mow down more players just running into the scene. This is not fixing MM this is some woke rewrite of the games functions to suit hackers.

On paper, Yes. However I think is has very little difference than live. Yes the missions are happening faster, and there is a chance of diversity in threat and skill level. But diversity means nothing compared to live. It simply means that the mostly original gold team can farm lesser threats. While the lesser threat will never make it to the point to make any progression progress. And with that lower threat, lower rank mostly being involved in back up missions. As a player will never rise in rank level. He will get capped before he/she is close enough to the point to get def points, let alone offensive by doing an objective. So he gonna spend the day racing from one back up mission to another, getting wasted before they get there n the mission be over too fast for that many people to score enough to get the min score required to get the min pay out of xp. And in the end this MM will not change Golds running the servers they stole from Bronzes. When all LO has to do to fix MM is resegregate. Considering the type of people in game and in otw. This game isn't worth saving. You're all hackers and fakes, don't bother finishing the lights and renderings of the mirage. I won't buy anything till Golds and Hackers are segregated from Legit Players. Hax don't like me in game, keep telling to die already. I won't buy their hax or buy from LO. and Ya won't see me helping otw again. not after the bad scheduling thru the week and then to show up to a bunch of hackers smooth aiming and they gonna run it from Moscow at 180 ms. The only hope for LO is if the hackers spend as much on armas as they do on hacks. Seems LO's position on hacks is very subdued. As if it's simply a small annoyance and nothing can be done so it is what it is, yet at the same time you want to fix MM. I give up, its not even worth trying to explain, if I have to explain it to Executives We have a bigger problem.

So would I, and even though now since the AMA, hacking is Way out of control now, thats not why I won't spend. I'm not buying anything that comes Half-patootie. Put cop lights on the Mirage. I would buy at least 3 more and any kits made available, but I won't buy patootie until that happens. As far as hackers go, My way of Coping is Attacking said hackers in game. If I think they're hacking I wont try for the objective, I'll find them and try to kill them. So I'm not changing anything by attacking, I'm still gonna lose and they will still get kills which have no value as stat's. But I'm going to inhibit there Flo. If they crash me, I'll crash them, if they tk me ill tk them. write their name down so I know who to tk next time. I'll make them change their name

Possibly an employee but more likely a disgruntled player, specifically a former player. Who saw the sale earlier in the month, and wanted to stir the pot to dissuade people from spending. Of course I am speculating but without any evidence of this Rumor that I've not heard, nor any source, We are left to speculation and stirring the pot ourselves to see what comes up. I call BS on this post. First off if it was true the Mods would have taken it down or buried it in off topic. Secondly I did listen to the Pod cast by Matt, I don't think he would have said all he said, if a shut down was coming. I don't think Staff would be doing MM testing on otw. If the game was bankrupt to the point of knowing they would shut down on a specific date. You wouldn't see Matt he'd be long gone, this site would go down. That would mean the Bank owned the company and would be looking to dissolve it. Armas would be inaccessible. And it wouldn't be some 5 months into the future, it'd be less than 30 days

so thats 11am pac time, do my best. I have an 1140 phone appt. with doctor n they alway call early or late. Ill check in to make sure im on the NA world, looks like you've already made names for me. So at some point i will have to go afk for a few minutes. I will try to play on mute while on the phone.

This type of thing, I might have considered helping but I had only a few hours notice. I didn't see the Notice Posted until that morning, leaving me but a few hour to set up an otw account. These things need to be set up in advance, as in you already have a group of players who have set up otw and are sorta in a club to be ready for otw tests. If it it still available i will go set one up for the next time. Meaning I'll have to pick an Email, make a password, go thru email verification, then come back n make a name and character set up. Then I'll have to write it all down n hope i don't lose it. Last time I tried to help I got almost banned for bringing the character into the regular game so I could have some cloths. Anyone even looks at me funny n I'll quit otw Ah cant find the DL on the browser, i tried, so screw it.

Just a loose opinion, seems like some missions where both sides keep calling back up. Problem with such is that the responding back up player without further instruction will try to get to the point from across town ending up running into the other teams back up or respawning players. Now I do see the Fun element of an FC style mission in district, but half the people called for back up won't make it to the point before the mission is won or lost. This will be a problem for those seeking to grind or level up, cause they won't get enough def points, or offensive points by doing objective. They won't qualify for the minimal losing pay out. They will end up getting zero progression of contacts, and if say the players whole day is spent responding to back up calls, as opposed to being part of the team from the beginning. They have wasted the day an made little to no progression of contacts. This already happens to some extent. They call back up on a almost lost mission, which is over or lost by the time you make it across town, and you get Zero for your efforts, not even gas money for the drive. Now if you devs fixed it so anyone responding to back up gets the minimum score automatically or as soon as they come into the vicinity or area (to prevent afk abuse).

Zero. They can't make enough to break even let alone profit, which brings us to the answer of the question, Why are using such crap servers, why so much lag, ect. And as usual I felt contempt when seeing a sale, when they haven't fixed the car, put lights on it. Matt said the software modules are just sitting there waiting to be put in. Now had they put them in, and any body kits ect, I would've bought at least 3 more new cars and the kits, I already have one, n wont spend till i have cop lights. Which triggers another question, How in the world are they still in business

Meh, Hax will get all the wins, n ya know i aint buying patootie till that car has lights, and at this point i may not spend another dime. Place is like a tourist trap, I've just been here too long. Not spending until you legalize and provide the same aiming hax everyone else has.

To my knowledge EAC has only banned a handful of people and not for cheating with combat hax, for other reasons. From my observation Yes a small number of the blatants are not there under the names they were under before. As Matt said If you ban them they just come right back in the front door. None of the people in NA are people I knew from bronze district years ago, they dont even try to make names anymore. My take on it is that the game is brimming full of perfect aim hackers and there is not diddly that can be done. If there is an anticheat out there that could catch them, it is too expensive. This really applies to all video games. War thunder uses a paid version of EAC and does nothing. I don't care anymore, they ruined the game by desegregating. Now I just meddle with them.

Lets get into what I got out of listening to the video. The long and short of it is, We know about all the issues and plan to fix them but we are short staffed, we haven't figured out how to fix most issues, and there is no time table for the issues we can fix. For instance' We know the police lights and rendering of the new car is not finished, the finished work is just sitting there, we just havent gotten to it yet. We asked for an anti cheat that caught aim botters, teleporters, we din't give a hoot about people using layering programs to make symbols, people going out of bounds was never a biggie, kick em from the server then, So they give us a patootie named anti cheat, that was completely ineffective towards aim bots and teleports, but banned a few honest players who never used combat cheats. So now we gonna have an Unbanning with some exceptions. Gonna throw out the patootie named EAC, put a new one. When,, soon. This is what I got out of it was that We'll get to it when we get to it. Which riled me a bit because if the police lights and kits are just sitting there, Then Please put them in IMMEDIATLY. Additionally I told you people EAC wasn't working, and instead of throwing good money after bad, why not just Resegregate so all the hax will turn gold n can bot n corner pop themselves, while the legit players can play in peace like before. But NOOOOO We can't because pop is too low. Why is this? Because even the hackers are leaving because of lack of interest, like game development. They are leaving because less and less legits play, and between that and MM everyone is waiting forever for a mission. So if I have to wait to get hacked for a miniscule amount of tickets and chump change for game cash, I'm probly gonna go play another game or take a nap ect. I did however like his idea of small worlds. Otherwise my mindset is that the hackers have taken over and nothing can be done, and so if I'm bored enough to come in and do joker job dailys, I may find some fun in trolling said hackers. I have very little confidence that anything significant will happen 'soon. It is Sad.

Appreciate you posting in the forum. What would be helpful to player moral would be estimated time to fix these 'Issues'. When can we expect a better anti cheat? Right now its open season. EAC deterred hacking for about 12 hours when it was installed, hasn't banned anyone for combat hacks, and now with the knowledge that they are pulling eac every hack in the world is coming in. EAC was bad but now its worse, because of this and the notion that, at least for now hacking is not punished, detected, just swept under the rug, really not much reason to play. Unless its to kill time and harrass hackers which is gonna be 90% of the pop, reporting never worked and as matt said they'll just make a new account n be back in 10 minutes. So in effect you have a Hacks only game.

So, You came to apb to escape depressing work. Thats like cementing yourself into a box, to escape going to jail. apb cannot be less depressing than your job. I will take your job, if you will take my doctor appt's and loud adult children roming about the house clicking doors n banging on things if I K up at all hours. Tries to leave n goto pharmacy, (my only out) But Noooo the extra Doctor needs to turn a phone appt. into a video call, so now i gotta clean up n be seen, meet a completely new doctor I don't need cuz Im not in pain anymore, which delays me from going to the pharmacy for pills I do need, keeping me in the Dust Bowl town living in a pool of snot unable to leave, n once they are done, then I can go, n it'll be 3pm by the time im home. n the loud boy gets home at 5, leaving me barely two hours to get a mission, n it takes an hour of waiting K to get a mission. I think I will build a box in my living room/bed room, and cement myself inside

I was sick and did not attend, can anyone tell me if there was any feedback on putting cop lights on the new mirage? was it recorded, is there a link to watch it? Also I think that removing factions is really bad idea, people have spent years developing their characters, cars, and clothing. Some mimicking paint and decals of particular law enforcement agencies down to minuet details. When new players come they see these personal designs and want them. Therefore spending money for the cloths and or vehicles. If you take that away, you're putting a big dent in what is known to be the best feature of the game; the personal designing of cloths, cars, and character look.

1. Is this 'Secrets' the Developer? Is He/She responsible for making the new car? Is there then no developer to work on 'the new car'? When can expect a developer to put police lights on the New Car? I believe there is considerable revenue to be made by putting police lights, Audio/Wheel transmission/Exhaust and Body kits for the New Car. Is this in The Plan? When can we expect these changes? 2. The MM is not working well. The wait is too much, Putting low threats on a team with golds is bad. The gold/s have to carry the team, and the low threat will never rise in threat because the gold will out perform and score highest. What can be done with the MM to fix this, and or is restructuring the way threat is scored an option?, When can we expect change? 3. Why are NA servers crashing and or laggy, What is the issue?, when can we expect a fix? 4. Why is there an abundance of false ban claims and yet I am still running into players with perfect aim, speed runners without boost, teleporters. To be blunt, you banned Kerry who never hacked, yet we have hackers not being banned? What is being done to Tune EAC?

No cop lights on the new car Golds still in missions No coffee 24hrs Servers are Instacrash cracker jack box NO pay 25+ joker tickets for any mission with golds No updates on said cop lights DoJ trying to distract with Eclipse Matt endorsing 3M Solar goggles Musk n Matt watchin without goggles I could have black coffee last time, this time No. Don't Look at it, its a Trap

I resemble that comment, Salt. May I gift you an epiphany, a center dot, a monitor crosshair, hack overlay, ect. All still require the user to put the dot on the target, I gaf if you tie yellow string to your monitor, ya still gotta aim it. ps. I do recommend Yellow string, white string blends into back ground. The aiming issue can be dealt with by adding new guns of significant size. The ammo would need to be HE Frag's, Hi penetration, and some Willie Petes, the ammo loadout would come as a mod. The calibers being 20 mm up to 4 inch. You could just come in hosing 20mm. For the bigger guns like the 88, you would wear the gun like a back pack n have to crouch to aim n fire. Why you could sear a dump truck in half!!!

We appreciate you updating us, Thank You

You can't convert this game, n if ya could nobody in LO would be smart enough to do it. They can't even put cop lights on a reskin car. I used to play and old pve game on ps4 or so, it was called 'Black'. the authenticity of the guns was right on, similar to MoHonor. I'm guessing that certain games have acquired copy rights, unlike apb. Or that in todays world of mass government shootings, the gun companies don't want to be fingered as the cause of said shootings via video gaming. People making law suits against gun companies because children allegedly act out games and or movies. Ya a few are real psycho kids, but the majority are the DoJ doing false flag shootings to take America's guns. Returning to the point and subject. The hard sites on these guns and the method of hold/stance/firing are all wrong with a few exceptions. All of your recoil is mimicked by bloom and barrel rise and the weight of the gun having zero effect on bloom and rise, but it make you run slow or fast. Looking down the site is what attracts me to these types of games, The job of the cop even back when this game was written up, is not authentic. There should be peps standing around on the Zombie dope or leaning, prostitutes, gang bangers, domestic disputing. Some or all on a pve, so cops could gain xp as easy as the criminal can stealing.

I Volunteer to sit in said 'Chair' as a Director, I will sit and point

LMAO

Lol, Well Somebody needs to come address some of these issues. As you can see civil order is breaking down, people are throwing bar stools and table candles. Aside from My Police Lights, people want updates on the MM and Server stability. If nothing else simply an acknowledgement. We don't even know if the dev knows no police lights can be put on the car, or if they were aware of the server issues. If the server issues were caused by hackers or the provider? If coding lights for the car is in the works. Ya know issues are issues, but when you add that lack of communication, people begin to speculate and rage, n if one gets started the rest jump on the wagon.

WHY does this alleged Dev Hide on Discord, and not come to this forum and address the issues with the new car not having police lights??? WHY does Matt Hide and not address Hacking, MM, Server Crash's, ect. Why is there not even Maintenance announcements and Why does the launcher indicate that Easter Events started on March 13-20/Via web site, yet the last announcement by forum gm's says St. Patricks day started on March 13, Yet according to Google, Easter is on March 31. They are conspiring to X out Western Religious Holidays by tricking us into believing that Easter had already past before St. Patricks Day cuz it says so on the Launcher, n they always leave the last " Event" on the launcher for months. You go back to Ditch-Wire/discord n You tell that alleged Dev that Mack is gonna Fire all of LO if I don't get Police lights on My new car, n Ya either rent a decent server or you close NA n Merge to EU. How I am 60 miles from the West server at 1 ms n it runs more patootie than if I goto EU at 170ms

Two weeks now without any comment from Staff or volunteers regarding; Maintenance, MM, Hackers, Police Lights/Kits for new car, Server shutdowns and instability. I Vow to put forth as much effort in missions as staff do (when they show up for work)

I am proof that does not happen, most all of the sweaties hate me, either because I hacusate or i don't hack. I don't run any questionable programs, so there is nothing for EAC to detect. This was a thing back in the FF days but not anymore. Occasionally we have had spammers come in, and players calling out for everyone to report the offender. When this happens it is generally a GM that comes in and Silences the offender, but doesn't ban them. GM's can't ban U alone, they would report the issue up the chain of command, as an 'In-House' report. not the same type of report a player can make. The only way to avoid suspicion of a Player/GM is to not hire a Player. Now I don't have any suspicions of our GM's, but if there is any Merit to what you have said; The only way to do this is to Hire a Non-Player, with real Money. Someone with good knowledge of gaming and hacking but having never played APB. Such a person would have zero motive to false ban or harass, they would have no friends that played, they would get no player benefits.
