Halloween is a unique holiday as most rewards are exclusive and changed each year with new rewards. Valentines is recurring in rewards. I suppose the wings could be added to Armas but a lot of people would be displeased.

Because if my computer monitor works fine I'm cool with the refresh rate and resolution... Why the heck would I spend anything over $10 to have a cross hair overlay for a game????

I am not keen on consoles but honestly It's respect goes out more to the experience of the game and not the platform. Saying that, I was making a remark about their culture however. I didn't resort to swearing but I'll leave it at that before a riot starts as you say.

I'm going to say that there is an argument that APB Advanced Launcher gives an unfair advantage that wasn't the intended purpose for it's build, Lowering details of some overlays and can give the player a bit more of a clearer view of the overall scene than with more shading. With that said It does beg the question if Crosshair shaders should be banned if it is just a visual aid. I will say it is petty and rather sad if someone needs to use stabiliser wheels but most videos I've seen of cheats reducing settings to potato settings and I can't think of a reason why. Honestly I don't care if they banned or not, I don't see a need for me to use either and I understand the Advanced Launcher is meant to help lower spec computers but I find it a bit of a double standard.

VIP is already a Action district mission set although rare. Honestly it isn't very fun. Firework/Flare are different from Spotter and Tagger Spotter requires the person to aim for a small amount of time at the target for them to be spotted, they do not need to be hit by a gunshot for the spotter to work. Firework and flare need a direct line of sight from the actual firework / flare itself when it bursts. Tagger will only tag if the target is shot at and hit.

I'll save you the bad news, and give you some other bad news... You can't delete your own posts on the forum, only edit them.

*sigh* Xbox players...

Player created content is saved by the server if you save it manually or when prompted as you finish working on the piece and go back to the main menu. What would be the point of a back up?

Team leader can vote against it or not vote at all in a 2 person team.

Matt Scott already said that a new version of "Choas mode" is in the works with the placeholder name "Riot". Racing District was shelved years ago before even being finished... possibly before it even started but honestly what content would racing add?

After reviewing the Privacy Policy, I couldn't find any information about the forum in relation to privacy... While enquiries about privacy can be requested via email. I think it the forum side of the service provided should have something in writing. I feel this is a bit of a hollow privacy policy which just says in effect email us if you need anything.

Matt Scott is the CEO. He is a very busy man and CEO or not, he is human so I'm sure he would like to take it easy and do something interesting but as CEO, he is managing a business. Customer Support are delegated to this role for this reason, however they do not browse the forum. All staff are very busy with trying to upgrade the game engines, new content, analysing technical issues and dealing with the back log of customer support tickets. Your question has been answered 4 hours ago and this thread is just unnecessarily being bumped and turning into spam. Anyone that doesn't know where or how to deal with a issue with their account or an issue in game should probably start at support and work their way form there.

You may not know how things work with changes to the site, armas, and staff but please don't be rude to others. It would likely get you the attention you are wishing to get, but not in a way you intended with the threat being locked. And to the others, don't provoke something that isn't needed. Customer support who do no browse the forum, other staff may but even then it is extremely rare and not appropriate to address personal issues on the via the forum. Please submit a ticket with this form and wait patiently, Customer support will get back to you via email.

All vehicles, mods and guns have a purchase cooldown. I have also got 2 version of most of my vehicle on my main character, but that because my main character is an enforcer so I have a marked and unmarked version all vehicles. Honestly I could only hazard a guess that the cooldown is to prevent excessive spam and inflation of the marketplace, it's the only explanation I could think of but that wouldn't explain why there is no cooldown for player created symbols, theme and songs not having duplication cooldown.

Rank is not a good representation of player's skill level, and threat isn't a good representation of player's experience An account wide combination of both rank and threat is needed for a new threat algorithm I believe would be more accurate. A new threat system is need for match making which would factor in total account wide Action, Fight Club and Open Conflict hours spent, a running average performance during missions, as well as total account wide ranking (with consideration of how many hours old their respected characters are to offset new characters lowering ranks). The results would in theory make it harder to dethreat with more factors, and a more accurate representation of a player's performance overall when experience in Open Conflict and Fight Club are also considered when it is currently not for these districts. To compliment this threat system, removal of threat segregation would further remove any remaining incentive to dethreat with players mixed with implementation of a Open Conflict style Match making system: Low threat players are paired up with high threat players on both teams in an effort to try an encourage team work and to help improve newer players, Threats and ranks I think should still be visible though. In the event of players forming group, the opposing team will's match making will revert to default and find the best matching threat players. So there should not be a case of a single bronze threat player against a team of multi gold threat players. To reduce toxicity, accusations of cheating and to promote further self improvement of newer players: Death cams to review how opposing players came about their successful plays. Yes death cams have been suggested before but they are a priceless tool in becoming a better player in action games to see where mistakes were made, to verify first hand that a play was legitimate, and seeing other player's perspective may help players feel more connected. I won't go too deep into the psychology because I am not going to pretend that I have a degree in it... The view of an individual may devalue those who the individual are not as interactive (or connected) with, this is leads to toxic behaviour, speculation and second guessing. Death cams would eliminate most of the guess work. --- Other suggestion just for convenience: Contacts for all Fight Club districts including Bayland, Beacon and "Riot", these contacts can just be generic faction characters as seen in Chaos District/Anarchy Mode Removal of team leadership for 2 person teams, instead both players should be treated as equal partners and collectively can vote together to call for back up or not. Option to Veto should be allowed if a Team Leader is away form keyboard or displaying actions which are not contributing to the mission in any way shape or form, then a new team leader may be selected be selected. VIP vote for VIP mission would be a new UI which would allow for teams to vote on who they would like to have as the team's VIP, teams will have 25 seconds to quickly find someone that feels comfortable of taking such a role, of course neither team will be able to see the opposing team's votes numbers or nominations. If both teams are in agreement with their respected VIPs before the 25 seconds are up, then the timer will stop and the game will start automatically. This suggestion is mainly in consideration of players that are unprepared in weapons, vehicle or modification load outs and supplies, or newer players who may not be familiar to the role and mission type. This suggestion would also apply to VIP mission in normal action districts as well as Fight Club.

Well your suggestion doesn't address the fact the matchmaking system is broken, I said it earlier in another post that match making / threat needs to be fixed regardless what other supporting structure is in place. Honestly I can't really be f-cked to keep repeating myself for every single suggestion thread claiming to have the cure to this problem of high threat players in low threat districts, I'm going to make a new thread because I end up keep repeating myself.

I too have said make the game more like OC, while threats can be displayed, just don't give them a translatable value. It would remove the incentive to dethreat, and I'm sorry to the newer players but you got to learn how to deal with situations you don't like sometime if you want to get better at APB. I agree that OC is undermine the match making when people play in groups in the district.

And you don't think enforcers are not going to camp bank sites? There are multiple contacts, and honestly I think there being 2 money laundering sites is something that could be changed. If you are clever enough to not get caught then you can make over 20k easily in an hour in an empty district, Enforcers do not have an equivalent way to make money. Criminals regularly complain about Less than Lethal but the truth is that if another criminal doesn't kill you during a stun then a team mate will most likely shoot dead the stunned criminal, It is good for making money if you can make the arrest happen and there is no other way to get Cop Rank up. I know and realise criminal feel oppressed... funnily enough I think that was the intention with the lore of the game however it is harder to be an enforcer, with the exception of not having to worry about notoriety. Bank heists would be a fun challenge none the less and should be a thing

Headless horseman & Pumpkin Army is already a thing for Halloween.

A better match making is needed regardless of what is done to support and mitigate higher threats choosing to enter lower threat districts.

The moirai already has kits so why not show some love to the vehicle that don't already, like the T-25.

Is it fair to say we're all getting tired of arguing and repeating ourselves? A financial deterrent is not a bad idea but 100k is a bit too steep, I'd say 60k. Not a fan of the idea of financial deterrent but it would work, but as always the usual comment from me: This is not a fix to a broken match making system.

Sorry to say this but maybe you should make it a habit to just check for updates in the forum, because there was prior warning that there was going to be price changes to Armas. If you didn't know about the advanced notices by Matt then it is on you, because you know the Forum is here and this is the main platform for interactions between little Orbit and the community other than the Blog Posts (which will be announced of new blog posts on the forum as well).

I face palmed so hard that I think I might of broken my nose. It is the same gun but did someone forget about the preset Suppressor mod that is built into the Whisper?

I don't think you realise just how frustrating it is for veterans to listen new players whine in the forums and in game chats about wanting threats locked when more experienced players know that we can circumnavigate lock districts. I created a new character on Citidel and without doing anything, my gold threat went down to silver before even starting a mission! Your suggestion is only unique in the way that you keep the some mixed threat districts along side locked districts, I must of seen at least 60 threads this year suggesting locking districts. It doesn't matter how you prepare, cook and present a potato... because it's a potato! Try to take on board what the experienced players have to say and try and find a reasonable answer to this problem, or you can keep throwing everything at the wall and see what sticks without taking on board what potential flaws may arise as constructive criticisms, The suggestion isn't a complete failure but it doesn't fix the problem but only lesson the issue. However the way you have gone about this suggestion isn't coming across very positive. I don't mean to be rude but you have been quite condescending and not just Asparii. You may be a veteran too but you can't presume something like this would work or that it won't upset veterans. The general feeling with veterans is a mixture of unfairness in being restrict for the sake of new players, and also just overall irritation of having to listen to these complains... over and over. And then trying to explain why locking threats may not work... over and over again. I couldn't agree more, you a don't become an Olympic simmer by staying in the kiddy pool! It is harsh but now and then sometimes the best lessons are learnt the hard way, not all the time but sometimes it just more meaningful and potent to take away first hand experience from different situations. As per usual, I DO NOT dismiss this as being a non-issue like AceNinja did, but I have listened to a lot of complaints and I accept APB has changed since I was a noob (despite no one has said it). So it should be reviewed as to how we how proportionate the problem is and how can we best address it. But that is something that can be resolved as a community and playerbase and resolving it would be easier if we worked with each other and not taking disagreements personally. ...this feels like trying to bring people together to have a discussion about reducing mass shootings in America! Just talk to each other, it doesn't need to become personal if people don't agree with one another.
