    legitimately disagreeing with a suggestion is not being a jackass, or even negative at all - no one disagreeing with suggestions is how rtw ended up making apb into a giant mess in the first place 

     

    You didnt legitimately disagree with a suggestion. Legitimately means that you would provide legitimate en betterment of my suggestion which u did not. 

     


  2. Jericho is dead for like 2 years already. 

    It would be kinda pointless to merge the servers now unless you wanna deal with european latency, being the fact that all this mess lasted for 4 months and LO finally managed to host EU servers in EU, and americans in NY. 

    All that trouble for what? To merge jericho now...  idk.

    Transferring the char to citadel would be a nice option though, since nekrova users were allowed to, i dont c why jericho users wouldnt be allowed to. 👍

    why are you having so much trouble with this?

     

    i do not have a suggestion, my only input is that i disagree with your suggestion to expand /abandonmission to allow players to quit opposed missions because it will be bad for overall gameplay

     

    THAT IS THE POINT!!!  You literally just  confirmed what i have been saying about you and admitted, that your ONLY SOLE purpose of joining conversation is NOT to provide for the benefit of solving the problem discussion is about, or suggest better solution,  BUT solely  for the purpose to disagree with everything someone say.  *huge long facepalm*

    THAT IS THE EASIEST thing to do !!  Removed flaming.    - Azukii

     

    Obviously you are not familiar with most common world expression, when you are trying to be smartass with something what is widely known, then its said "you are not Columbus, you didnt discover America" by saying "your suggestion can and will be abused by players".   

    Yes mr. Sherlock Holmes...EVERY system is corrupted, and EVERY system can be cheated and abused, because its created by mankind, and EVERYTHING mankind created WAS, IS,  AND WILL BE corruptible.

    So your only counter to my suggestion "it can be abused"  didnt discover America. Hope its more clear to you now, what i meant. That doesnt mean we should leave status quo.  

     

    As for rest of the abandon system opp which I instantly said its imaginative and WILL NEVER happen in APB and its utopia, i said it WOULD be good there is a sort of escape from cheating hacker bullies opp. 

    But since we cant even get engine upgrade which is (like good ol G1 used to say soon tm) promised summer  holidays 2018  early spring  2019  summer 2019  autum 2019  and counting,  we certainly wont get an option to quit missions with opp any time soon.  So there is no need to discuss this anymore.

    CHANGES/FIXES

    • Added the 2020 Valentine's event
    • Added Leather and Lace Bundle to ARMAS
    • Added Renaissance Man Bundle to ARMAS
    • Added Skyline Bundle to ARMAS
    • Added Mayan Bundle to ARMAS

    I hope its some new fine nice looking shiny clothes to design and work with  😍

    Speaking of clothes, what happened with promised patch of aligning double barrel shotguns, in an angle of how double b contact have them ?  And maybe removal of useless knife on left side from katana back accessory?

  5. Most of armas weapons are reskins of f2p ingame ones. Difference is you dont have to pay for new one every 10th 20th or 30th day.

    Nerfing is necessary for the game experience, but my concern is that variety of players with direct contact to LO employees, who LO listens to and then decides fate of all rest of us, is compromised. 

    Since each time nerf comes, it comes for the section of weapons which are not meta for most well known cheaters and hackers. "Coincidence" much. 

    Now is time to nerf nfas shotguns ( i am definitely up for it) but its interesting how NOBODY mentions the power of the JG shotguns, and nobody even talks about JG!

    Yet JG is ridiculously spammed and undefeatable in close range.

    Fun fact, JG is also mostly used by those "pro" rank 20's who  go  50 - 2   k/d  ratio in cqc FC, and then they just vanish after a week, only for new JG hero to appear out of nowhere and go godlike.

    If you already nerf, nerf entire section of some weapons. Be objective not subjective.

    i'm sorry that your balance suggestion was so poor that it only took a single sentence to poke a giant hole in it, but that seems like it's more a you problem than a me problem

     

    My suggestion is still on point.  I am not programmer to know the best way for solution but i can give an idea.  

    Your one liners aside, provocation never poke anything, because you never provide any "smarter" solution or suggestion, you only know to spit over everybody's elses.  Thats only thing you are good at. 

    Aside of abandonmission there should be abandonmission with opp as well in some distant future, if there is one for APB.  You are obviously einstein so enlight us the better way to do it.

    there is no further elaboration or context necessary, i stated that the potential for easy abuse such a system would allow applied regardless of cheaters

     

    Every single system has potential abuse in it, and will be abused.  You didnt discover America with it.  If we look your way, everything should be cancelled then, since everything can be abused.

    Allow me to fix that for you.

    The logic goes both ways, which makes your point pointless.

    Allow me to explain it better for you.

    Gold player and dethreater is not a same thing, so it makes your comparison and point pointless.

    Dethreater is a high rank silver who cant match golds nor she/he was, is or ever will be a real gold. 

    If she/he was, she/he would not dethreat, desert, and run away from gold opposition all the way to the bronze districts.

    Dethreater "earned" her/his gold status on bronze, low silver, green and trainee players. 

    Gold earned her/his on silver districts from where everybody did everything to escape from fighting re roll hackers, closet cheaters, tryhard premade group clans of 4 men sitting on discord playing as if every mission is world championship for real money, etc.

    I carried already many low rank silvers, trainees in matches to victory, some of them even thanked me for it. I lost many too, because you cant be 1 girl army vs 4 255 golds, but that is the life.

    You win some you lose some, life goes on.

    that’s exactly how problems are solved irl, so i guess it’s just social interaction in general you don’t understand 

     

    Problems i have with type of people like you irl are solved by my standing up from the table and going away. That is a social demonstration of what i think about people whose sole purpose is not to give constructive counter argument but purposely defiantly give opposite opinions just to trigger people to talk back to them.  

    With people like you irl I would not waste a single 1 minute of my time to lead discussions. Because you never give a logical conclusion, you never give quality conversation, you always and only give entirely insane directly opposite conclusions with 1 liners, spamming your post numbers to 1 million, with a fact you never say anything. Which can mean only one thing. You know exactly what you are doing, you are deliberately a smartass, you know you troll, but you hide behind wannabe intelligent shallow constructions and conclusions which are seen through like a water.  That is if you even had courage to approach me (but that is petty thing to say, true but petty isn't it? - rhetorical question) 

    Being against /abandonmission can only be entirely ignorant person.  

    As someone already counted up, there are multiple valid reasons for it, and it should not be changed. The end.  Change rest of 1000000000 broken things in this game, stop distracting us with irrelevant things. 

    Number of people who would abuse that potential utopia system is irrelevant compared to what cheaters would face.  Because with your attitude EVERY single decision can be abused...and ? You didnt discover America with it.

    snip- 

    Yes democratic system could be abused , but with that approach every single rule on this world can be abused and IS abused, so you cant have such approach on the world, otherwise we would have to cancel every single governement, every single system, every single rule ever given out because ALL of them are corrupted. Yet we cant have stone age anarchy in 2020.

    you posted an opinion on a public forum that i disagree with so i felt like i should also post my opinion, in the hopes that our incompetent overlords will see that not everyone agrees with your opinion - are you aware of how balance discussions work? or maybe just social interaction in general?

     

    also you accused me of defending cheaters, which deserved at least a casual dismissal 

    Ok glad you disagreed with my opinion. In real life, people for whose opinions you dont care for, or you disagree with,  you dont initiate conversations with them. But yes..thsi is APB forums.

    I am still after giving an opportunity to people to decide for themselves  whether they like to play against someone or not. 

    Abandonmission stays either way! Regardless what your opinion is. 

    Smart for defending cheaters, I see what you did there.

    Recently I decided that since i got annual leave, maybe i should revisit and grind away on my criminal character that i've neglect. My crim just got to rank 38.

    For just under a decade I've played APB and despite that, I strugged to get 20 kills in a game unless it's in fightclub.

     

    There are pro players, there are veteran players and then there are hackers.

    I think you're exaggerating quite a bit.

     

    A balance is needed as so /AbandonMission isn't going to be abused, for you it's a get out from abusive opponents but those opponents are going to also use the same tool as you to leave evenly matched games to find and select easier opponents.

     

    I don't always agree with Solamente, I think his "utopia" idealism is along the lines of Les Brown: -“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars.”.

    Normally I would agree with it's principle however we're far from ready to aim for the stars or the moon.

     

    Lets just fix Matchmaking and Threats which is the core problem before addressing the other symptoms.

    I totally agree. However abandonmission is necessity, and always will be. If we were all normal people, and didnt abuse everything we are given, it would be nice community, but then again we know APB community.

    i’m not defending cheaters i’m defending literally anyone who might win against their opposition 

     

    we both know there’s a significant portion of the population who is only after the easiest missions possible, what do you think those players will do with a system that allows them to quit any mission as soon as they start losing?

    Why are you still insisting on prolongation of conversation about an utopia idea that will never happen?  You really like to talk with me dont you? 


  11. 4 minutes ago, Solamente said:

    this would just lead to a lot of people quitting missions against anyone better than them, regardless of if they’re cheating or not 

    Like i said utopia, and i KNEW, that someone will instantly say that.  Everything to defend hackers...everything. 

    That is why i said democratic vote! If there is 6 ppl in a team, 5 of us would have to choose quit.

    Either way none of this will ever happen so its pointless to discuss it.

    "i havent played in X many time because of no segregation"

     

     

    most of the people who have said that shit I have seen dethreat in silver and run to bronze.

     

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Lol this is on point.  Bringing back threat system, will simply bring back ability to all dethreaters to go back to good old harassing bronze districts. 

    This way at least all bronzes, trainees, silvers got same chance of getting gold player in their team, as its same chance to get them in opposition.

    We helped already plenty of low level bronzes and trainees, to win a mission, because we didnt abandon team. That will not be the case anymore when threats are back.

    You use /report for that. . . But that depends who is "toxic" imbecile to you.

    You are genius, how did I not think of that! 

    Topic is abandoning a mission.

    Report button wont save me from PLAYING a mission with a player who always bullied me, harassed me and was toxic to me with sabotaging my mission on purpose because he hates me for only his known reasons.  /ABANDONMISSION  however will save me from him! That is if i am quick enough before we got cop opponents. 

    That is why we do need /abandonmission! 

    Not only do we need that,  if I was LO i would even put a system similar to  requesting leadership of a team by democratic voting of abandoning mission with the opponents. 

    If we get "pro"  rank 20's  who go 30 kills 0 deaths, because kids are bored and they cheat in dead game without consequences or active admins with power of ban on sight, it would be nice in that case to abandon a mission and stop wasting our time. In my opinion it would even be a sort of counter measure for hackers / cheaters, because if every opposition would quit to them, they would pretty much either have to leave a game, or eventually stop cheating or hacking.  But that idea is just an utopia sadly.

    Yeah sure KEKW

    Not gonna argue with some noob queen, meaning provide me your in game name, not this one you are hiding behind, and i will tell you exactly why i whispered you.

    But you wont, because if you had any courage, you would not be using different ingame names, different forum names, probably different char names with 20 aliases, you are hiding behind, like all rest of toxic players. 

    Because its easy to seek refugee without consequences of your dumb toxic attacks and bullyings when you hide behind 20 renames, 20 different aliases, 20 different nicknames, while you attack person who never changed her nickname, nor in game, nor forums, because i got nothing to hide, because i am good person, and because i am adult enough to stand behind my spoken words and actions.

    You wont see one day some player noobqueen39658 addressing you  n calling you out publicly on forums for something, deliberately not saying entire context, acting like a martyr, while in fact its me hiding behind that nickname. 

    So if you got butthurted, you got butthurted for a reason, because you know it was your fault. If you got something to tell me, tell me in private message here, from your real nickname, or in game. 

    If you dont have nothing to tell me, stop crying then. 

    If only I made a public comment of every single harassing whisper i got in game, this forum would have 45000 pages of it.

    my point exaclt. Remove the abandonmission, make it compulsary to team with lower levels, stop golds being lazy and steam rolling the opposition.

    How do you know if the player is toxic if you have not teamed with him. I will create a new player today and start playing, i will screenshot every game and post it here. We will  see where the toxicity falls.

    meaning if your know those players from before encounters, and you know its toxic imbecile... then you need abandonmission option to get rid of him.  I wont play with jerk people.

  16. Its exactly what I said. There are too many pleasant fellow golds.  If you already get an "easier" mission with mixture of gold silver opponents, least you can do is not abandon low rank or new player on your side.

    I didnt abandon neither one single mission and I have been getting Trainees on my side plenty of times. 

    However i am not for removal of abandonmission because if you are grouped with toxic players you very well know, you should 've option to leave such group. That is if you are fast enough before getting opp, which is currently a fine option imo

    i hope this is just referring to the current state of the game, because otherwise new players are absolutely necessary - where do you think all the veterans come from?

    Its obviously referred to the current state of the game. Do we really have to think about basic stuff such as new players, as if each and every one of us weren't new at one time and didn't install apb and created first character?

    im concerned people think threat segregation is actually keeping people from playing.

     

    you wont see anyone really 'come back' when they finish the network stuff for the europeans. The population is the same as it has been for NA. lol

    Eeeexactly this is what I 've been thinking. Playerbase dropped when EU servers got hosted by NY ones "temporary" for 3+ months. Long enough for majority to quit the game, as they did.

    Normally that is the way to go. When you have small playerbase and it is split between servers, the most logical thing to do is put them together so they have others to play with.

     

    However, in APB's case, having all these different ranks in one place is probably just as damaging because, lets face it - it will just make people leave. Not just be isolated on other servers but leaving completely.  

     

    The game is probably losing players even when we speak right now. 

    During the weekend I started asking myself "Why I am even still here? is this even fun if trying makes no difference?" There is just nothing to do. Then I remembered the new servers are on its way so I guess that is something. It will be still bad but a bit more bearable. 

    Yip oky fair enough! I am in mostly for the designs anyway, but if there ll be no players, i wont ve nobody to sell it to anymore x.x

    The game needs a better system but putting everyone in one place is just wrong.

    Yes, veterans buy stuff but they won't be playing the game forever + they are the ones who already have bought most of the things they need. Even if they do playe forever they can burn out on the game and play something else for months before deciding to come back (and they won't do that all at the same time so the game will be lacking players).

    The game needs to appeal to new and returning players and by just putting everyone in one place it will have the opposite effect. 

    No I definitely agree with you. All together in one place, people with 12000 hrs gameplay and 1hr gameplay is simply not right, not fair,  BUT at this very moment (which should not be permanently) is necessary in my opinion.

    If you got small playerbase, dividing it further will just make you mathematically have even smaller playerbase. 

    I am not for this system to remain permanent, but i am up to keep this system until engine upgrade this year (as promised for 4th time by LO), which can be an ace in sleeve to attract new playerbase finally.

    Players need better experience otherwise they wont stay. Nobody would. 

    You can discuss players experience when you have players, but like this, there wont be any left. 😕

    And this current mm is not unfair only to silvers... i too get bronze players, low rank silvers in mm..and guess what? I dont abandon mission.  I play along, wait for opp, and we get 4 premade 255 gold cops, and I lost the match. You press k, you get new match.

    Its not really so bad for silvers at the moment either, because you guys get high rank golds as well on your side. 

    So imo we should all just cooperate together if we want to prevail.  Its not flowers and sunshine mm for any of us all the time, but at least you get missions, and you get opp.

    no thats not true.

    A lot of silvers play in silver and those full districts were proof of that.

    Half the players are not normally on right now because of no threat segregation and poor matchmaking from it

    once it is back the ones waiting will be playing regularly again.

     

    now if we just got more people to play apb after we have phasing done then we can really get things going more in the right direction.

    If this is correct, and playerbase is this low because 90% of players are waiting for threat system coming back, then i am definitely up for returning back threat system asap.

    But I think playerbase is low due to extended eu servers usage, and from what i know, 80% of ppl from EU and Russia quit because they couldnt play with 100000 ms lag and it took 3 months +  for LO to finally bring back EU servers (from which even social is still at NY atm). 

    If you are correct tho, then i am up for bringing threat back.

    And for how long? How long do you think the lower ranks will let you stomp them before they quit the game all together?

    Yes you will have people to play with for a while but you are also killing the remaining playerbase in the process even faster. 

    Well tbh i dont know. In my opinion vital population to keep are veterans, silvers and golds. High ranks, max ranks. They are the ones buying stuff from armas, which is supporting the game. 

    If you lose playerbase who is willing to finance APB with our real life salary, do you really think LO got any motivation to proceed with Engine upgrade or any motivation whatsoever to keep this game alive? 

    All of us, bronzes, greens, silvers, golds cant fill up 2 miserable districts via daytime when all people are home from work, college, or school. ALL OF US cant fill up 2 districts NOW!

    Imagine what will happen when you got playerbase of 200 players, and you consciously proceed to divide it even further with threat segregation.  You create further groups.  50  golds 50 silvers 50 bronzes 50 greens.  

    If 50 golds got nobody to play against, since 50 silvers will join bronze districts golds cant join...those 50 golds will quit. 

    If 50 silvers continue (and you will) play on bronze servers vs 50 bronzes...those 50 bronzes will quit.

    50 silvers cant join green threat servers, and even if they could...do u really have fun beating green who dont even know where is obj on the map?

    That is why i think, threat system will create domino effect of inevitable APB end.

    Its different because of population Hawtgirl! Its not about mm, its about the fact you wont PHYSICALLY have a player to play against when threat is back. Get it ?

    Sure you silvers will have your threats, you can go harass bronze districts like it has always been the case.  Golds will have your silver districts, like it has always been the case.  But problem is you ALL of you silvers will escape to bronze districts.  Golds will have no opposition anymore, aside the 1st type of example screenshot u provided .. re roll trash acc in most cases a cheater, grouped with max rank. Legit golds will therefore leave the game.  If we leave the game, nobody will finance armas anymore, or at least 70% less people will finance it since its always been done by golds mostly and silvers...never bronzes. 

    That is inevitable end of apb.

  22. Op its literally on point.  Bringing back threats will leave silver districts empty since majority of this remaining pop are dethreaters.

    At silver /gold districts you will have remaining of "pro" rank 40's who blatantly hack in a dead game tryharding to kill game even more by forcing legits to quit. Playing on trash account that ll take 2-3 months for eac to ban it, so that kid can in 2 min create new one with fake email and repeat process of harassment. 

    Nobody cares that bronzes will leave, since bronzes are newcomers and they dont keep this game alive nor they care to invest real life money for a game they dont care for.  Golds and silvers keep this game alive. Golds and veteran silvers buys any shit from armas just to support LO for that engine finally. And golds and silvers will leave the game because there wont be physically any district to join to.  

    Even now when there are no threats and everybody can play anywhere, entire population at weekends is barely 2 full financials and 1 half empty waterfront district. 

    Means all of us together, bronzes, silvers, greens, golds, cant fill up even 3 full districts during most attractive time such as weekends middle of the days. 

    Bringing back threat system will erase silver and gold districts. Its a fact. 

    What killed the game was incompetence of providing EU servers. It took you guys months for it, and literally population of 1200 players, from which 600 were nekrova players uninstalled the game thinking, game is permanently hosted at us servers. Rest of EU quit too because it was same reason... 1000000ms lag. 

    Only thing that can save this game, is to rush up with engine upgrade this year...if it wont be finally done this year...this is end of apb. And maybe for the best when one think about it.
