This is somewhat fascinating that kids today Value a pixel symbol like it is a Deity or False Idol over getting their first car or girl friend. I mean, threat colors dont pay more or less, you don't get anything for it. I figure if the games files are unlocked then they can just write in any color they want. I seen a dude with no head. Then i hop on a light post n get an out of bound warning yet the special people can run the roof tops.

IT's Rigged in a tilted way. It doesn't reflect the skill of the player. I have the same thing happen, I do good and i fall to bronze, I do badly, and i turn silver. Do all the objectives, win and get no change. I think they are hacking the threat symbols. So I just run naked n try to get xp. No reason to worry about threat till all characters are remaxed and the Fun can start again. Hopefully by then they have removed threats all together. Then they won't be able to hack the threat symbol and have little reason to hack with guns. I'm not seeing any action by LO, so we're suppose to wait, already been waiting 5 years

We need a thread for Feedback on the LRR mod. Discussing the pro's and con's of the mod on various weapons. And how the mod effects the 'Drop Off range.

That is about right, 1 in 10 matches are balanced. Only in NA they put bronze and silvers on same team with gold. Sometimes the gold is salty and makes trouble, but sometimes they are cool. I feel that there is a high influx of golds, who've come back to level up the contact. When this rush is over, when they max the contact. The pop will go down a bit, but the Match's will become more balanced. I think If you run in a group, a group is more likely to be matched against another group. If you run single, you can be added to the team of a group, and get a better chance of golds being on your team. Most golds don't like the lower threats being on their team, When I am in this position I will do whatever I can to protect the gold, by using my tagger, and patrolling the perimeter. Sure they will kill me, but I have marked them and my gold will come an kill them, or know what direction they are coming from. For Attack Mission, if the opp is Hard, I will try to distract them, be seen, and shoot a few rounds. While my teammate sneaks up behind them. We just have to wait and the numbers will change and things will get better.

Things are getting a lil better, compared to a couple weeks back. I'm getting some missions here and there that are balanced. Of course that now I'm fighting for xp it is a different game. So now I'm not so quick to rq if i see too many golds. Now moving up or down in threat or win or lose is not the object. It is the XP, as long as I get some xp I don't mind fighting golds. And I don't have allot of choice in the matter because rq means waiting half the day to get back in and no xp. For me its a Job, I have 5 max ranks-255, to get remaxed. So its a matter of timing, ya need to get in early to get in, but the earlier ya go in the less diverse the players are. Lot of em just play around for a while, till they get their coffee or red bull going. But if you wait till later on it is much harder to get in but once you do, it seems more balanced missions come.

I smell Wire Fraud WTB Soap on a Rope

I think He answered allot of questions, and each answer lead to an explosion of questions from the chat. I found it informing and I'm more confident about continuing to play. So I'm happy to support LO

I just want to agree and bump this post, Cops need more open world tasks Will the AMA Moderator put this on the List of Questions and Concerns

You do have a point. From what I've heard, The GM's aren't paid. They are volunteers. They should be Paid, and or well compensated for their time. I want to add in here that I think Maglo is doing a excellent job. This one is finishing allot of work the last dev did. They have laid off that one dev and Maglo is busy helping the dev team. And with the spike in pop I can see there are way too many people for any one GM to watch. and I might add that with such a large increase in work load, that; They are being spread very thin, and the reason I don't see them is because they are either busy elsewhere or staying invisible in district, so they can catch the bigger fish. They need more in game GM's and they need to PAY them.

Well its obvious they don't care, they sit in their tower and watch all the trolls and chat violations, watch the hackers hack. So they know whats going on, and Won't do anything about it. So I'm just gonna sit back and watch it burn.

There is no reason to be afraid of me. You need a chill pill, You're delusional and twisting your words around and a bit narcissistic I might say.

Swing? Ah You mean Helping or Hating. am I right, Well that's because I see certain people with in LO Doing good things, and some not so much. No I don't care enough anymore because of what's happened it no longer matters if there is a conspiresy. It is just accepted that, that's the way it is. Whether it is or isn't, it is what it is.

Why Thank You. You Kids just think I'm a big ol sniveler. Have Ya ever thought that Ol Mack is trying to help the community by being a loud voice toward LO. If I didn't complain, nothing would ever get done. However I ask my self Why? Why help your own haters. I might add Sir you look like Mr Matt Scott as a younger man.

Bad thing is the more money you spend the more patootie the trolls treat you. Every time I spend money something bad happens in apb. I'm not real interested in his ama, surprised he showed up twice in a year. And I would be willing to spend more, if the game was cleaned up. We have zero gm's in game. We have zero anticheat effectiveness, Lo let hundreds of hackers and trolls in. Lo put the new contacts in WF where trolls and hackers live. Lo allows 6 eastern servers to fill with hackers but won't force them to west. No I'm not buying anything now, If I buy they will find another 200 hackers to add to the 300 they added by unbanning, and the 300 more they added by adding contacts. I might be crazy but I'm not stupid. It is one for LO to control hackers, but controlling toxics seems real ez, just read the chat logs. Lost a mission yesterday because of a troll, crashing me and pushing me a good mile past the point. All of this is seen or able to be seen by gms, n ya never see em. So its been the wild west or in this case the wild far east. I believe sard is just another eac smoke screen. They should have given pre max ranks, max rank. Now we've lost fin so one less amenity, lost all the guns, cuz they don't work the way hacker guns do. in allot of cases you fight hackers and participate, fight hard and get Zero xp or cash because you're called into an attack mission and stopped at the A point by hax, or if defense, the hax speed hack from A thru D and have their friends crash into you and push your car away. No offense to U Cookie, sorry for the long rant.

Ya that would be a big help, and if done my way would reduce toxics. My List: The joker ammo voice. The distance and volume of npc yelling. Other peoples music Other peoples horns That sound thats like a police radio or ham radio. I have sound kits for all of my cars that can have them. I did not buy the kits, to hear other peoples designer made extra loud music sounds that travel for blocks. They use this to troll missions, or to simply troll others. Now I want to add that some people make good stuff in designer and not all of you are trolls. but the ones driving around with heavy bass. n dont peg me for some old dude that only likes Elvis. I like rap, country, motown, heavy metal, classic piano, Mexican serenade. So LO needs a sound control menu that would either allow for specific sound level setting for certain groups of sounds, or the option to mute certain groups of sounds just by clicking a box. The joker voice has always been way too loud, but you can mute out while spawning into dist, you can get away from the joker. You cannot get away from trolls. All the game is not is WF so Fin is not part of the game anymore, so its all wf and most missions require you to travel past a gas station used by toxics So when LO allows others to either sound troll my missions and or when I have purchased sound kits, and others can play sounds louder than mine to my ear, what you have is a loss of an amenity. Why you have a player setting for other people hearing your music from your car, and not a setting for Not hearing music from others cars

No, indeed you did, telling me be silent and have fun when its not allowed, No Sir, It is You who are spewing garbage and rubbish, and doing it in; Long Book Form. Now You're an obvious troll, and you smell. Go shower and then clean your room

You're probly one of them, no its the other way around, all they do is bash me. And that is totally allowed. And yes i would agree about 99% are either toxic or hacking. Also, I have Thanked Lo or the particular Dev staff and Magelo for the work done regarding new items and the fix for the mirage. There was one like u in district, all mad about me not trusting and refusing to use report. Well thats because when I used report last time for someone doing the exact thing you are doing, badgering me thru a mission to report someone. So I reported the person badgering me for chat harassment. I'm talking several minutes of continuous chat bashing and did it during a mission. the person was not in the mission. and this was before sard but after the unbanning. And the result was the gm attacked me. And I'm not in there All day as you say, the chat rulers are, i can barely get in to try a mission. So at this time its not just hackers and sard, its basic rules. So as long as those toxics are there that mean noone is watching or investigating any report, therefore if they can't control the small violation they certainly aren't going to be banning aimbots. Not to mention I am not paid to be a hack policeman by LO, they have a problem not me. Due to the above, I won't report anyone for anything. No I expect a gm to be in district. or by whatever means be it a gm ect, to control these people and provide a fun environment. If they chose not to, I simply find a Firm that will. If you think that some snot nosed 14 year old ranting a Book in forum is going to change me, ' You're sadly mistaking.

Yep cyber terrorists. Spend all day trying to make legits leave the game by hacking or being toxic. These fake anti cheats are just labels that do nothing. Nobody is trying to stop them, LO seems to like the toxics, maybe they are rich toxics. So we got literally an army of hackers trying to stop legits from playing. If they aren't hacking they are trash talking in chat, and getting away with it. I guess I should ask that for the ama, @MattScott Why do you prefer toxic hackers over legit paying customers, as customers. What is my money dirty or something, cuz theirs certainly isn't clean? And I don't wanna hear 'Report them. I REFUSE to use that function. because it won't do anything, but submit me to staff retaliation.

No, but just knowing all of them hundreds and hundreds of toxics and hackers can't play for 12hrs is very very satisfying. Now for those that are not hackers or toxic toward legit players, We are getting a half day off without pay. which is the same as doing missions for zero xp, except there is no work. We are also getting a half day away from the toxic abuse. I'm all for a day in Fin without grinding the new levels. It has become obvious that the game in NA is no longer for North Americans. Opening more and more east servers before filling the western. The new levels are in wf which has always been a bad hang out. They will probly close fin and the western servers just to cater to the far eastern players. Levels are too big or long, specially for the work involved in remaxing. 12 hrs that toxics that only boot in to be toxic to me and a couple others, can't be toxic in chat. Now for your average gamer the 12 hrs is a bummer but, for the narcissist sociopaths running the district chat it will be devastating. These people will need medical and psychiatric help from the mental withdraws that not being toxic to legit players will cause them. I mean I think a 12 hr down everyday would seriously help the community, it would have more effect on the toxics and cheaters than any anti cheat.

When will ToS be enforced again? n Don't give me that noise about sard has to 'Learn and Analyze'. I want the Date that the Button will get Pushed??? and I'm not just talking about hackers. That, is all I have to Say.

When will Lo start Using Sard. When you start banning again and move the contacts to financial let me know.

Water Front. WF has been full in NA for days.

should be an ms cap, If your ms is over 100 then you can't play that world. You should have to live in North America to play in NA. Specially if server rent is $2.00 a year that drops local players to make room for more sweatys from abroad. Not cool to spend an hour in a mission to get dropped at the end and get zero xp. Most of the missions are attack now so zero xp.

I agree, The star needs a buff, needs to be faster

Cheaters are coming out the wood work, but most of em kill ya with their primary. But again you are blaming the gun, nerfing the gun wont stop the macro hacker.
