This is nice and all but why remove the funny reaction too? I had a bunch of funny hahas that are now gone.

Give this guy some slack. First he lost his pioneer and now his PMG. That must be like losing your own kid, twice. Even a certified APB Virgin can feel that

I think any change to the staleness of the game is great even if I disagree with some of these. I don't play "meta" much anyway so apart from the carbine buff I don't really care that much. I hope to rejoin the game with the reworks of my non meta guns some day. I expect there to be tweaks and I hope it gives a breath of fresh air to people that still play.

pmg nerf ?? = ))

BE is always universally dislikes in all parts of the community (that i know of). Even SPCT doesn't like the switch to BE. It sucks but that is the way it is. Allthough BE being bad doesn't mean we have to accept garbage like this thread.

We NEED some weapon balance changes. The meta is record amounts of stale.

With a playerbase of two, it could be you

I use an equalizer which has a GUI that uses AutoIT. I get kicked for it which is a good thing for all of us and an inconvenience for me, but its manageable. I don't understand how your mouse would be "next to useless" without its software? It's not required and merely allows for some customisation most of the time. I very rarely even change anything in my own software and I'm someone with many profiles. I can just switch profiles on the go without having the program open. If closing the software doesn't help either then you might have to uninstall it. Sucks I guess.

I used that service for some months when I only had my laptop and while it was great, a pvp shooter would be the last thing I'd play on that. Not to mention I'd assume that most geforce now users would be casual players so I'd doubt that we would gain any worthwhile population.

When I play against new players I don't excessively push them and instead keep to the objective more. I do however not gimmick or cripple myself on purpose, as that often achieves the total opposite of ones intention by coming across as an insult.

You learn the game by playing against people on your skill level or someone more experienced teaching you. Contrary to popular belief, getting stomped by more skilled people won't teach you much of anything. This is also the reason my martial arts trainer didn't beat me to a pulp on day one. Does that mean we should hold each others hands? No.

That seems fair to me considering any braindead player can sit in their car and abuse the missing hitbox (when entering) and the car TP. A braindead thing to counter a braindead thing.

Imagine new players paying 10 bucks to get steamrolled by max ranks. Then again we can't have any cheaters if no one plays the gamer = )

These numbers are something to be looked at with a good pinch of salt. There are a lot of factors missing here. Without knowing what type of accounts get banned it seems unclear to how effective it really is. You could argue that the swap back to BE has encouraged more active development on cheats again and therefore many throwaways are getting banned. Even if we say BE is the better software, the problem we really have is that there are no other levels of security. The stuff that does get through stays undectected for ages. Other games use seperate mechanisms that work together, such as server side solutions. Even Systems like CSGOs Overwatch are helpful. No System is going to be perfect but we certainly need something else. I hate to formulate it like this, but playing within the top threats has been awful since BE. Sure, everyone faces cheaters but this is the level where the closets stay at. There are also several twitch clips of blatant triggerbot display and these people are still playing daily. Certainly it shouldn't be your job to go through twitch clips, but this shows the state we are in. Relying on player reports to catch cheaters after they bypass BE is not going to give great results. We need another system.

Putting my internet issues aside, the game is just really unrewarding to me right now. If I stack with anyone I go up against the same 24/7 gamers with a combined weapon pool of 4 (Obeya, JG, OBIR and PMG). Do that 15 times in a row and oh well time to get to bed for work. Even putting the increasing closetting issue aside, I can either play what is essentially the same mission 15 times in a row or I can play solo to get some variety atleast. Still, I then have to play solo which is even more unappealing. I'd rather keep watching streams for now.

I have this forbidden knowledge. What am I gonna do with it? Nothing good of course. i suck at themes

Stepping outside its range sure is a valid tactic, but it it sounds better on paper than it is. Many spots are within the range of the PMG and a lot of areas are 40 meter or below inbetween walls/cover etc. Not to mention that cargaming is still possible simply because many spots reward sitting in a car. Allthough this isn't a PMG issue, it's still indirectly relevant. More often than not, getting outside of PMG range is impossible due to map layout and even if possible will put you at a downside, because you now have to play a specific way, while the PMG user is rewarded for simply existing. There is a reason that swapping to PMG is the best way to counter a PMG.

BattleEye is a thorn in many players' eyes for many different reasons. Cheaters, crashes, bugs or kicks for random stuff. I don't want to discuss how good or how bad BattleEye is more than I have to, but I want to inquire about any future plans. Be their reasons justified or not, we are losing players fast. This is unfornutate because you just released an amazing patch that finally gave us a breath of fresh air. I suppose some very dedicated pioneer users decided to take a break, but it's clear to anyone active in the communities around this game that there is severe dislike towards BattleEye. BattleEye seems to struggle. While it does kick for macro programs like AutoIT and probably bans free clients, the amount of cheaters is rising. Even within higher skill communities there seems to be pretty wide spread acknowledgement of the problem (similar to late stage FairFight). Surely I can't speak for everyone but I have not heard anyone praise BattleEye. Yesterday we barely managed to keep two silver districts alive on a friday night. A pop of 133 was online at around 1AM. Sure that's late but the drop in players even around prime time just confirms the fact that we are sinking. What I also dislike is that there doesn't seem to be any solution. I don't have one and from my research there isn't that much more that would be worth it for such a small game. Bundle that together with the overall "meh" reception of the beta test and I think we got some tough times ahead.

Cloud based password management yikes. Rather use a file based manager and keep spare copies on USBs.

Imagine blaming LO for decisions that the previous company implemented while also completely ignoring the solutions that LO has made/plans to correct the bad decisions of the previous company.

What a useful cheat. I'm including that in my new release of Cl0wncoreprogram

How do you not recognize that footage instantly? That is APB Culture

Making the game more RNG to "counter" Macros and Cheaters is probably the worst idea. There will always be bad apples so making the game a casino is just hurting everyone else. I don't need recoil which is exact like in Counter Strike, but I also don't want every gun to be a Carbine. There is certainly a balance to achieve. Make guns with simimar accuracies to OSCAR (little RNG) and PMG (manageable RNG) and we're gucci.

I'm fashionably late to this party. Thanks for thinking about me. Good patch. My mission is completed ... for now.
