    Hello.
    Cheaters were the biggest problem of that game for whole time.
    Maybe we should make some forum thread, where players could post proving vids or pics or links or whatever about other players cheating. Because non of those anticheats is good enough without support by admins. Here u need to wait for month or more for support answer.

    I doubt that /report command is alive. (how many /reports should i send for support to start work on it🤔)
    Imho, battleye was better, but not the best of course.
    And enable broadcasting banned players. We should know our 'heroes'. Players should get what they deserve.

    And we deserve to know that anticheat and support are actually working on that problem.
     

    so do you think that LO are doing nothing?

    If so what do you suggest? BTW I pretty much NEVER see cheaters - maybe 1 out of a thousands players I play against I think, there is something wrong with this guy. I have used report 1 time in my whole time playing APB. Now looking back on it though, I think I was probably wrong to do so and I should have maybe just played much harder as I played against the same people again a couple of rounds later and pissed on the guy who I had reported. I reported him as he seemed to be pre firing when I was getting to corners as if he knew i was there before I got there. I ended up putting it down to Lag in my opinion.

     

    Again what do you suggest?

    They took it down from 50vs50 several years ago. I get it. But do you rly think that increasing it back to 50vs50 will change something? I tell u what, yor game performance will drop by 10FPS.

    Server would handle this just fine

    If you think that yur matches suck and 50vs50 will change it, well u r wrong cuz what controlls the rocks is matchmaking.

     

    U can hate me for this, but honestly I dont even think that poor matchmaking is such a big issue becouse knowing your limits, and adaptation to current situation is part of the game for me.

    Sometimes I go 1 or 2 vs4 and its ok. I know I am goign to lose the mission so I play the different way. Sometimes I get OP backup just in the right time. This is the game for me. Winning the mission is not always the real victory.

    Frustrating part comes when unfair matches happens every match - that I may agree with

    hey if my game drops 10 fps no worries.. I get 100 fps consistently anyway.

    I think putting it back up to 50 v 50 will make the districts more dynamic and more alive. PLus there will of course be benefits to the amount of people in a instance.

    BTW I dont hate you 🙂

    considering g1 made a shitty excuse to decrease district size in a piss poor attempt to make the game seem more alive i dont see why theyre still at 40v40.

     

     

    server was completely fine shitting itself with 50v50 as much as it does now with 40v40.

    i think G1 did it to make it look like there were more sever instances to play on.. Which of course, if this is the case, was a stupid idea.

     

     

     

    50 v 50 were much more fun. I think anyone who has not experienced them is really missing out. I think if LO and @MattScottwere to put up a couple of 50 v 50 districts and see the impact they would never go back to the 40 v 40. 40 v 40 made no difference in performance and by the time they were implemented, GamersFirst were starting to stop caring about the game anyway. Probably a reason why they never put them back to 50 v 50.

     

    It is worth a try. All you need to do is up the limit and announce it. Will take what.. less than 5 minutes to set up?

    Another Chaos District but for what?
    Testing the server resilience would be give a bit of a counter productive till after the UE3.5 testing has been done, there have been a multitude of problems server side for a number of years but I was hazard a guess that it is for the same reasons on the client side.

    not chaos. APB used to have 50 v 50 as standard

    Hey @MattScott would it be possible to turn on a 50 v 50 district on a temporary basis? There are more than enough people on EU to fill and test this out (dont know about NA servers though). You have new servers etc and the performance of the servers when the game was changed to 40 v 40 didnt get any better so adding at least 1 server with 50 v 50 might be a good test. Just a thought.

    ...and they destroy the game more than cheaters do (because new players will be wtfpwnd, think that people they were killed by were cheating, leave the game to never come back and also tell others that everyone in APB is cheating).

     

    Dethreating should be a banishable offense. 

     

    Having said that, you can now use the new /report functionality. There is a whole category for "dethreating".  You might want to use it. Who knows, maybe LO will take action (hopefully).

    Character rank mean much less than you seem to think.

     

    A very skilled player with a R010 character will win 10 times out of 10 against an inexperienced player with a R255 character and access to all legendary items in the entire game.

    i didnt know you can report people specifically for dethreating, and you are right: It should be an offence that gets people completely removed from the game. New people will constantly be leaving because of this. They WILL think people are cheating and never return. Its obvious they will also tell people they were right to call apb a hacker infested game as this is the exact impression it gives new players.

     

    Merged.

    this will be sorted out when matchmaking will pick available players from all fin/water instances and gather them in matches. The way we have it now, due low pop, gold players can't even play the game in low hours, since in most of these hours, only a bronze instance is available.

    this happened in EU server at around 3pm saturday. There were around 6 full districts. No reason what so ever to be in bronze.

    Rank means nothing other than the fact that you've been playing for a long time it doen't automatically mean you're skilled at the game.

     

    I'm a 255 but I went bronze the other day and no I wasn't dethreating.

    i too am quite high rank (223 or something) but I am very low average skill player. I have been silver for months but spent most of the start of the year as a bronze.

    3 in a group - 2 gold 1 silver (this was one of the groups - it is the ranks of the players though that is concerning as the other players in my group were sub 60 ranked). You can see the group name but I will assume it isnt identifying anyone directly.

    I've encountered way less cheaters since  BE was implemented.  Blatants anyway.  I tend to give the benefit of the doubt when I think I see a closet because I know I'm not very good at the game.  Ever since BE was added we haven't had speed hackers zooming around the districts.  I ran into a few instances where I thought I saw speed hackers but they just turned out to be LO staff once I caught  up to them and saw their names.  There have been a handful of people that seemed fishy but I only ever saw those particular people like once or twice, then never again.  One thing I'll always miss about speed hackers is when they get P5 or N5 and run into the side of your car.  That thud is the most satisfying sound.

    That's undeniable lol.  Even with how shit I am, I still get hackusated a lot.  You know there's a lot of paranoia going around if someone as shit as me gets hackusated as a near max rank on a regular basis.

     

    some guy yesterday said he was reporting me. I was like to my self "shit im actually getting better now!"

    i took it as a compliment.

    There's so little of you that even cheaters don't find cheating there entertaining.

    you really stuck the knife in there man..

     

    Meanwhile on EU servers 6 full districts and 3 semi full. plus 150 in 1 social and 80 in the other. Also I very very rarely see anyone i think is cheating now. even if i do think so i can probably put it down to me not playing hard enough so i dismiss my own speculation.

    im sure I used to remove fog but I cant remember how I did it. this was many many years ago. My game runs smooth as butter 99% of the time on full right now though - I built my rig back in 2010 specifically to play APB. I did like the look of the no fog though but im sure it made everything too dark at night or in carparks under ground. I do think though that adjusting the configs to show outlines like borderlands, removing the smoke from grenades etc is cheating.

     

    Using the latest hacks though from those paid sites it fine though. I think someone should go buy it and let us see how they get on 🙂

     

    Disclaimer:

    Buying cheats will get you banned. I d not endorse the purchase of cheats. If you buy one after reading this recommendation, you my friend are and always will be, a muppet.

    where are the HD photos and 4K videos?

    In this modern day and age, we dont have shaky cameras, grainy film (ISO settings as such) so why isnt big foot in full view just looking and doing nothing. Why do we not see that UFO in all its glory?

    Come on alien species. There has to be more to you that a revolving set of lights!
