Honestly, I'm ready to try to make AI for APB Reloaded for "thanks". This is the game of my childhood and giving the game a new life would not be so difficult for me. Unfortunately, the developers do not listen to that percentage of players who want to play the game for fun and immersion, the developers listen only to those players who have configs that turn off smoke, explosions, shots, objects on the map, ragdolls and even parts of the map, which gives an advantage in the game compared to ordinary players whose goal is to enjoy the game as it is, and not a game with graphics in the style of Potato Mode. Players with configs play for dominance, for self-affirmation, and players who play this game for the entourage and immersion suffer and leave the game FOREVER. Now average online dropped to 700 players.

It still depends on how much the player hides the fact that he uses cheats. Most of the cheaters always played on the silver district)

>Nope. But usually trade lock is about for a 3 days or so. LO Support ignoring every single ticket, i guess i can buy Jocker Tickets and cancel transaction in my bank app so they will finally respond me. (I can do it, lol, cuz we have a policy that saves u from scammers, and LO looks like a scammers when selling u something but its not working how i should) Cuz it's crazy, they ignoring every ticket about any question even Armas problems. So if they receive 200$ but transaction will be canceled after they will finally do something, and they will not respond, they will just block account without any response to previous tickets LOL

I completely agree with you! But before Inova closed, they were all on Inova and honestly, APB was better before the merger of servers with Inova and Nekrova. I once played on Inova to compare the differences and I left there because of the too high level of toxicity of the local fauna, I felt sorry for the adequate players there. It would be good to somehow separate all these aggressive children from the European servers, but it seems to me that the game administration does not care about this at all. By the way, speaking of cheaters, I conducted an investigation and found where players buy cheats, some cheats use AI that analyzes the image in the game using CUDA cores in GPU. (In fact, AI can work on the CPU, but slower) It works on the principle: - Human \ Not human. - Color on crosshair \ Red text above the head. I have worked and am working with artificial intelligence to recognize weapons, people, vehicles and animals irl. It is not that difficult to make such a cheat, which makes blocking such players impossible. Conventionally speaking, the cheat can be launched on another machine and receive an image from the screen where the game is running. Then throw in a special input driver and you're done. But as far as I have seen, these players launch the cheat locally on the same machine where the game is, which allows the cheat to interact with the game more easily using a special driver that imitates the player's mouse. (So if a player plays too suspiciously, it's better to send a report) So when I am killed too suspiciously often and quickly by players, I begin to increasingly doubt that these players are such pros, but of course this game is full of tryhards))

I don't write or tell them anything. The fact that I cosplay as US or Ukrainian soldiers doesn't mean that I'm doing some kind of propaganda. But yes, I suffered from a Russian attack on my city and was left disabled for life because of it, and no, I didn't fight against Russia, I was an ordinary civilian. My neighbors died that day, those I knew are no longer with us. I have every right to use the flag of my country in cosplay in the game. The most important thing is that Russians hate me just as much for cosplaying as US soldiers or Ukrainian. And yes, I defend the independence of my country(irl in my way), since it's a matter of survival. In the game, I don't impose anything on anyone, I never write anything to Russians first, they write me insults about my nationality.

Fair enough. I took screenshots of those players but because of lags when changing weapons and modifications on weapons I decided that I needed to completely delete the game and reinstall everything again (and i still have 3-5 fps on weapon change on RTX370 LOL, reinstall not helping). Unfortunately I deleted the screenshots along with the game, but yes, I reported such statements and sent screenshots to support. For example, the player who blocked my mission, he simply pushed me with a car when I was trying to complete the mission, then he parked a truck at the point of my mission and sat in this truck. I asked him to stop many times before, but he did not understand and I wrote him "Reported". To which he immediately replied to me: (there are many toxic words in the Russian language, he used everything he could). There is nothing here that I wrote above like "calling for the murder of Ukrainians" and so on, but this player blocked my mission and pushed me with a car when I was on a mission against very strong opponents. The very fact that he did this, as it turned out, was solely due to his nationality. He bullied me until I simply quit the game. Here is the next example of such toxic behavior in the game, most likely this player found another Ukrainian's vehicle with a Ukrainian flag. To which the player actively began to write texts in a very rude form only because there was a flag of a country (Ukraine) that all Russians hate and wish death to all Ukrainians. The usual bullying with notes of Nazism-fascism. He wrote in the most rude form: I guess reports not working since same players i see everyday playing this game. sad.

They literally deny the existence of Ukrainians and call for genocide, they repeatedly write me various nasty things. (Denying the existence of a people and a country but at the same time wishing them all death is typical pro-russian Nazi-fascists, LOL) I do not despise Russians, I am against toxicity and Nazi-fascist statements in the general chat, such as mockery of the fact that in my country people are dying under shelling from the Russian side. There are certainly normal players, but those who behave openly hostile solely because of nationality - this is disgusting. They literally wish death on me and my entire family just because I am Ukrainian, is this not fascismo-Nazism?

When will the balance be fixed and will they stop throwing newbies against tryhards who don't know about the existence of the world outside the game? Bring back the old division of districts! Every f*cking mission it gives me enemies with macros or fucking cheats! All my friends quit this piece of s*it, in which the entire balance is broken. I haven't won a single f*cking mission today, every time it gives me enemies where the entire fucking enemy team is a clan of gold players, while my team is made up of newbies who quit this game after a few days. In the best case, it will give me players who play well on my team, but then what's the point of me playing this broken crap where 90% of people run around with macros and with smoke from explosions and even bushes turned off. Previously, all these "super" players with potato graphics played against each other and noobs could easily play against the same noobs. I'm not that good at playing, and after my arm injury I can't play normally against players who kill you from 80 meters with a pistol while you're trying to kill them with a sniper rifle. The game has absolutely no moderation, Russian players write tons of Nazi statements with a call for genocide of Americans and Europeans along with Ukrainians in the general chat and to my teammates in private messages. Every game I come across at least one Russian player calling for genocide and justifying the war in Ukraine, they write to me in private messages or in the general chat wishes for death and for me to be killed by a Russian missile, thanks, but I barely survived. I spent over 2-4 thousand dollars in this game and it saddens me that the developers are putting so much effort into killing this game completely. I want to buy more items in Armas, but I don't see the point in it, since there is simply no room in this game for those who do not play it 24/7 and literally know every bug and glitch using it to their advantage. It's disgusting to see how the developers killed the balance. (It will be very funny if the moderation deletes this post, since no one has responded to me in the game support where I've been waiting for an answer for more than 34+ days, and there is no moderation of the chat in the game at all.)

Yep, here how it goes 90% of the time: How many players do you think who just started playing this game will decide to stay when I'm already tired of losing?)

Separation to "green", "bronze", "silver", "gold" districts After the system of dividing districts into "green", "bronze", "silver", "gold" was broken, the online began to fall every day. If you look at the statistics in Steam, then after the division of districts into "green", "bronze", "silver", "gold" was broken, we can notice a significant drop in the number of players. After the release of the New Horizon update, the number of players increased, but newcomers were faced with the fact that they are forced to play against players who play APB constantly and have much better game skills. Everyone says "play better, noob", well, here is the result, from 1200 players online after the update today there are already a maximum of 800, although yesterday there were 900+. None of my friends want to go to this trash heap anymore, I don't see buying JockerTickets in Armas to try to knock out some legendaries in the store, since this game has become sharply difficult for me. Moreover, when Inova and Gamersfirst merged, the ability to write in Ukrainian was removed. Before the merger, Ukrainian letters could be used without problems, but now there is no such option. (Some kind of discrimination based on nationality) Another problem is players whose nicknames are written in Cyrillic. Players whose nicknames are written in Cyrillic regularly block missions or simply do not allow me to reach the mission by ramming my car or the car of my teammates. They especially like to block mission objects if their "comrade" plays against us on the mission. It is simply impossible to send a complaint about such players with Cyrillic in their nicknames if you do not have a Russian keyboard layout. Thus, players who use Cyrillic in their nicknames receive complete immunity to reports from European players. This is not to mention the fact that I regularly receive a ton of xenophobic statements from players from Russia just because I have UA in my nickname (since my other character already had this nickname without UA). I've gotten used to getting tons of toxic comments and wishes for me to die as soon as possible from a Russian missile. I liked the idea when Inova players were on their server and didn't bring their toxicity to European servers. (I already want to transfer my character to the US region). Cheaters and tryhards It's also no secret that there are cheats on APB now and they are free and paid to access on the Internet. In addition to cheaters, there are also just players who play as if they were playing with cheats and you don't know if you were killed from 80 meters with a Colby .45 cheat or skill. I talked to newcomers to the game and not only newcomers, everyone as one says that they are tired of Gold players who don't give them a chance to take a step. Just yesterday, in my presence, several players simply didn't want to go on a mission because there were Gold players with cheats or a very cool skill, in my presence, players quit this game forever. Here are some graphs from Steam DB: Here are some graphs from will.io: In conclusion, I can only advise, at least for now, to return the division of districts into "green", "bronze", "silver", "gold" so that new players play against new players, and players who play poorly play against those who play poorly, and to prohibit "green" players from getting into missions where there is at least one "gold" player.

Typical APB moment in 90% of time:

I invited my cousin to this game, I invited 8-10 friends to this game in these 1-2 months and they all quit this game. 10/10 Friends quit this game because it does not welcome newbies at all, and not only newbies. Moreover, not all my friends want to play against cheaters or those who do not give them a chance to win in the mission at all. I remember the times when the game had some semblance of balance and everyone had a chance, then I played with friends and we even had chances to kill other players as players killed us, the skills were equal, now I regularly encounter the fact that my score in the game is 0-5 kills 4-10 assists, 11-20 deaths. Yes, I began to play worse over time due to a hand injury, but my friends rarely play better. I constantly die and press the respawn button)) Devs could have already added PVE tasks for beginners or for those who want to relax. It is not that difficult to write simple AI for bots that would identify walls, stairs, covers. In the end, you can add the same tasks where bots would storm some of the task points in crowds. In this way, players who are looking for PVE content could stay in the game and also invest money in cosmetics or weapons. 7/10 of my friends would return to APB, for example, if there was some kind of PVE mode in the open world designed for team play or solo. But for now I'm just afraid to invest my money in this game, there is a chance that it will not change and I will just waste my money.

It's terrible to hear... I understand how hard it is to lose so many legendary guns. I invested more than a thousand dollars in this game a long time ago, but after the developers broke the balance, it became uninteresting to play, and investing money in something that only causes you frustration is stupid. I have more than one account with weapons and cars from Armas, I was even banned by mistake and I still donated, until they broke whole game. As for cheaters - every time I return to this game I check if there are new cheats for it, to understand the chances of meeting cheaters. And yes, there are plenty of cheats for APB that can be found on trusted sites absolutely free. Just yesterday I played against players whose N-Teck outshoots any sniper rifle at 80m, and when you run behind him, the player in aiming mode spins almost 180 degrees, there was a clan that did not miss a single shot. Players from my team complained that it was a clan of cheaters. But again, they were cheaters or people without a personal life who take a shower approximately... NEVER. It's just that these people are so good that there is no place for people like us (ordinary players playing for fun) in this game. Previously, at least there was a division into "green", "bronze", "silver", "gold" and I didn't play against T's, but now my team is full of T's or bronze who are forced to play against gold clans who play either with cheats or as cheaters.
