    i have a corsair scimitar with push2talk, change weapon, grenade, shoulder swap, walk, and probably something else i’m forgetting 

    I have the same but with my Roccat mouse. As with simular AC systems they'll detect macros and not hotkeys.

    We're going to be making a change to the anti-cheat soon, and I want to walk the community through it instead of brushing it under the rug.

    Matt, this is music to my ears! I'm looking forward to see those closets drop skill massively on day 1 the new anti-cheat is implemented. That reminds me, I need to go to the shop and buy me some popcorn 🙂

    If there are punishments as severe as jailtime, I'm confident they'll make sure they have it right

    There's been lawsuits already about this and if I remember correctly one of the main issues was memory control and who decides what is allowed to load into the pc-owners memory. Tricky stuff...

    Don't get me wrong, I do agree with you that cheaters should be punished somehow apart from their gameban but realising this will be very hard I guess. Besides that, not all cheats need to be injected into APB in order to work properly so a direct connection between APB and the cheat will be hard to prove since not all cheats are just software these days.

    When you say things without backing them up, it just makes you look dishonest.

     

    So... if not BattlEye and if not Easy Anti Cheat... if not Fairfight and if not Punkbuster... what anticheat do you want?

     

    Come play Jericho... if you still think you see cheaters you can rest easy because it means you cannot spot a cheater anyways.

    1. Not taking the bait, nice try tho.
    2. BE, EAC or PB would be just fine for filtering out the unexperienced cheat developers. Experienced cheat detecting GM's in districts based on reported players. It's not rocket science.
    3. I do have a Jericho account but the ping is just to high. Besides that, it's not my job to avoid the cheaters, it's LO's job prevent them from playing against me or any other legit player.

    and how would we afford to have that many gms for each match for each district who can ban like you imply you would want from this old argument?

    Even large games do not do that and you think that could be done here?

    Read point 2 please. I know for a fact that larger games operate in a simular way and it actually works. I'm not saying that all GM's can ban all APB cheaters in a short period of time but with it's current slow (or none) ban speed is pretty ridiculous.

    Imho you'll need a basic AC to get rid of the wannabe cheatcreators combined with ingame GM's who actually know what to look for when it comes to cheaters. Cheats have become more sophisticated in any game, including in APB (no, I won't list them so don't get your hopes up) and for some APB cheat users still cheat very obvious with no intention to hide their cheat on a daily basis for 3 weeks and more. Support tickets take 7 days to 'come through' and still the rage cheaters will not be banned, I wonder why...

     

    All I'm saying that if we had more ingame GM's who know what to look for (and deal with it) then our beloved APB would be less toxic and more fun to play.

    The method valve decided to use in csgo would not fit apb because of low pop and how strongly players stay for no paid stuff.

    I already said that it won't work on a low populated game, my statement was based on an engine upgraded large populated game.

     

    Also, locking a phone to an apb account for 'cheat protection' will not work either, loads of uncharged simcards are free these days so it will defenately not stop cheaters. Besides that, I'm pretty sure lots of people in general will be uncomfortable with sharing their personal phonenumber with any smalltown gamepublisher. The 'CSGO method' has a better chance of succeeding with a $10 Armas spending. It will make cheaters think twice before they reroll and spend more $.

    Even gigantic companies which are running CS:GO, Overwatch, Apex Legends, PUBG and other games have exactly the same problem.

    That maybe so but what about copying the CSGO method? CSGO went f2p but paying for a csgo key would allow you to play on servers where only paying customers play. I know with the current APB population wouldn't be able to handle such system but if, for some miraculous reason, APB attracks a sh!tload of players after the engine update, inplementing the 'CSGO system' where special servers allow real big money Armas spenders to play vs eachother would defenately reduce the amount of cheaters. At least for the paying customers who are the reason that APB still exists as a game.

    afaik the tickets aren’t for failed payments they’re for trials (30 minute/3 hour 35% discount)

    The entire G1C purchase system wasn't working at all and it did not affect just discounted weapons, wich can be partial be refunded (discount) in a later stage (done that myself, that how I know), it affected everybody who wanted to buy something from Armas and had no G1C left. It's all about the Benjamins...

    A quote from RitualLO on APB's Steam forums:

     

    --------------------------------------------------

    Marketplace Issues from 09/27/2019

    Hello everyone,

    After getting information that there was a rather significant issue regarding payment in the Marketplace where people were not able to purchase G1Cs in time for trial discounts. The issue has now been fixed, and payment should again function as it should.

    Now regarding all of you that did your trial runs, and then were unable to purchase the weapon with a discount because of this issue, please submit the ticket to the support with your issue, preferably by Monday! Make sure the ticket has a proper title and that the issue in the ticket is properly and thoroughly explained with screenshots.     These tickets will be prioritized due to the specific nature of the issue. We will do our best to assist you, and you will help us a lot by properly filling in said ticket.

    Regards,
    Ritual

    --------------------------------------------------

     

    Since there's already a 30 day que on support it is kind of weird to see that people who are willing to spend cash on Armas are prioritized in the support que while people who actually already spend money have to wait their turn in the que.

     

    Fair? Your opinion?

     your post leaves out important details , like what the tickets were about.

    certain things can not be resolved by patting you on the head every time.

    you honestly sound bitter and bias from it so it leaves me confused.

    Like I said: missing 255 character, missing multiple items and more. My intention is not to hyjack the topic, only adding to the pile of negative LO support experiences AlishaAzure had.

    I am so tired about that, reminds me of G1, same story but with LO now.

    Since LO took over I opend 5 tickets regarding multiple issues, only 1 got solved properly. The rest of the tickets where copy/past messages with phrases that had nothing to do with my issues at all. I really get the feeling that a large chunk of tickets aren't even read properly and just replied to just to lower the total pile of tickets. Due to unsolved tickets I lost a 255 character, multiple items and some more stuff. It's due sh!t like this that makes people stop spending money on G1C, I know I did and I had 2 euryales and working on the 3rd one. LO's current support behaviour makes money spenders unappriciated imho.

    What are your thoughts on deactivating threat segregation during low population hours such as early mornings, when the system detects more people online it activates it again.

     

     

    The idea of a treat level is to keep the gold pro players away from the new and less skilled players. Allowing to compete will drive the less skilled players away from the game.
