11/20 PATCH ANNOUNCEMENT
VanilleKeks replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
I find the notion of "Assault Rifles that were designed to excel at close range" to be very off putting. This game allows you to hold angles while hidden behind cover (due to third person camera). Meaning these CQC rifles can beam you down at close and mid/early long range fights. SMGs will be made obsolete sooner or later if you keep doing this. -
SARD Anti-Cheat Update
VanilleKeks replied to MageLO's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
This post is pretty tone-deaf. The consequences of SARD implementation has been rampant cheating for months, and now you come with the "never ban anyone outright"? I can get behind your approach if this was a largely populated game, with a respectable ranked and e-sports scene, but I wouldn't say this is what the people wanna hear. With the size of the game you should have just slam-dunked these bozos with aggressive SARD settings. Even if 25% of the player base gets banned that's not even 200 cases which you could manually review over some weeks. As a step two I support this entire blogpost, but there is a missing step one which should be immediate and harsh action with a dash of cleanup afterwards. -

Blatant cheaters in FC farming 50 kills for 6 weeks now. Nice -
The "Check Back"
VanilleKeks replied to JustinCarter's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Ah yes, some people are suspected of cheating but for others you "know" they are cheating. You made this distinction based on what? Their horoscope? Unless you have actual evidence of what's running on their PC or we're talking speedhacking spinbotters, you don't know and you're more than likely griefing random missions for no reason. The difference between too good and just good enough is incredibly hard to spot. Even more so once you reach a high level. There is a reason high level cheaters in anything really can fly under the radar for years. By all means, if there's 30 seconds left on last stage go afk and get some water, but to sit there and grief for 15 minutes makes you a dingus. Just restart the game and go next. -
Mind turning on SARD?
VanilleKeks replied to VanilleKeks's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Lily can't think that far most of the time, so it's not use explaining. I was fine with this for a while, but a month with no anti-cheat is pushing it. -
Word in the community and (unconfirmed) information from known cheat providers is that client-side is either turned off or not working. EAC detected cheats can be used and server auto bans are off. There are actual r270s snapping in fightclub farming the entire lobby for hours. Not sure what genius idea it is to "test" your AC on the biggest patch in half a decade, but if you wanna get rid of the returners asap it's a good strat. High mmr missions are unplayable more often than normal, with people straight up running down spawn points. How much more data do you need before you start banning people?

Escalation is good step but done wrong.
VanilleKeks replied to Mitne's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Scaling missions is not so easy. Something like TDM is a no brainer but the second it gets to holding or capturing objectives it's very difficult. The biggest issue isn't the objectives, it's that the spawn system isn't made for such large missions. Combined with the fact that players naturally group around whatever objective there is and it becomes a total mess where you can't move a meter without getting shot. The only way to solve this would be totally new mission styles where the teams get split up in real time. For example, in team missions there's now four bases and half the team competes for two of them each. Maps and spawns aren't designed for anything more than four people. Another thought; as you scale missions to be bigger and longer to accommodate players, anyone that isn't already in a mission now needs to wait longer since large player amounts are locked in a 30min+ mission. -
If you're gonna screengrab my stuff at least make it not noticeable. I am experiencing massive stutters on regular intervals, which can only have something to do with this software. Before some goober says it's my PC; I am running a 7800x3d with a 4090. It's not normal APB stutter by any means and I even got a kernel bluescreen just now. I'm already signed on getting my data sold so at least have the courtesy to not worsen performance.

As I asked last time. What is the current situation on available resources for the game? What is the future investment going to look like? I work in this industry and without any information on what kind of investment we can expect, I can't really take any of your ideas to heart. -
I'm going to download this game exclusively so I can hump your character. and by your character I mean iRawwwN specifically.

It's for comfort. You can see it all times and never really need to put a thought (whether conscious or subconscious) on it. Being able to see it at all times also helps lining up shots in case you are flicking while looking at the edge of your FOV, or when a lot of stuff is on the screen. Since it's an exact marker always in your view. Not like APB usually has a lot going on onscreen but the concept still applies, it can make a different in regards to a more pixel perfect movement which might matter in some situations. Kind of like how you can just drive your car perfectly centered in your lane subconsciously, but still appreciate the markers on road in a comfy sort of way.
