Is that you on two accounts or something? .. Ok if you can't give a reasonable explanation to the quite contradicting statements you both make that's fine. Of course the current server needs to be restricted still, you could even hire a gm with the money you will be making with the new server.

So you have nothing to say on that? Are you implying having an unrestricted server will have no positive impact on the current server? How so? The problems there will get worse with a server dedicated to that stuff?

This is true but at the very start it wasn't enforced in a way you see today. If you claim otherwise I'd start doubting you being there... the key point to take is you do not have to play there if you don't want to, you might even see less of what you complain about on your "current" favorite server because people do not play at two servers at once. Still most of the population I'm talking about isn't currently in the 300 player pool. This idea makes the current server more "fun" for those people you want to protect, do you see the irony in the statement you make? Merged. Again, don't have to play there. The extra server will have people griefing and what not, which will include people you currently complain about having an impact on the current server and they will be able to go ham on this one so it's really a win/win with extra money for all. It's mostly about cheating now in this thread but I agree it's more than that, griefing, insulting, uncomfortable clothes and symbols, music. The works.

added server, extra, anyone with a complaint just stay on the current one just ignore the new and biggest server apb has ever seen (more or less like how it was on rtw start) when you say "cheat" on here it always becomes a battle between "closet don't talk" and "back to the old days" (and this is currently true for every game out there = name me one where that isn't true, one) Merged. nobody will play on the current server, we can discuss why but it's useless an unrestricted server will have every roach you can imagine on it Merged. You are insinuating since the first post and ignored everything else, and are still going, I'm not going to hammer on that it's useless we've seen 13 years of it. Let's just say a bad silver will always be a bad silver no matter what. The pop is so low because people are restricted in what they can do on a server that has people ignoring these same rules. And not just cheating, everything I listed. Unrestrict the game to what it made big in the first place, everything done after has declined it. (didn't even want to get into this, but sure whatever) And again, you can stay on your 15 pop district server and just ignore the biggest server apb has ever seen since release. No problem! This one is extra. And extra cash yes. Basically everything we all need. Curious how you could entangle that into the current problems, but again you can stay playing there even with this added. You might even see less of what you are complaining about on the currents server because usually roaches don't play on two servers at the same time.

No I want every longing creative old-school and new-school gamer, creator and developer to have a place to go in the endless sea of gated, linear, online mess they call gaming today. I want to play with the gloves off. All gloves. I want to show you a world forgotten. Maybe leashed is the better word in current times. This is the only game that has the only company and quite possibly the only dedicated community that can provide it at our current time. I want to open it up. I want to unleash this game and play it until the wheels fall off from the mess and money it makes everyone

make a whole lot of $$$ with a game, company and community that can do this

cherry picking and jumping on it; every game has cheaters. every single game bots, cheats, rmt, it's everywhere online there is not a single game without it.. apb has nothing to do with that, this topic is about unleashing what is apb in total and you can always play on the old server, you don't have to join ... nice quick jump on the oldest topic that is not going anywhere in any game, not now not in another 13 years no matter how many endless other online games release.. it is a non-topic but still has to be added in an unrestricted apb server. if you could just see beyond this one topic and what you are holding in your hand, apb is made to be unleashed the game is that good and it will deliver because it is more than this one little thing you want to hammer on. take off those blinders

this is crazy idea but this is stuff of history making ..... think before dismissing or white-knighting and even if you shut it down later the publicity and learning will be historical even in apb history you have the only game that can do this you have the only game that is ready for this: add one server, this server publicly unrestricted unrestricted chat unrestricted grief unrestricted cheat unrestricted icons unrestricted clothing unrestricted voip unrestricted market unrestricted all Premium only but unrestricted server (no free rides but no rerolls needed either). Fresh server all at start, no account transfer (keep what you have now 100% separate and available) this will grow be the biggest mess on the internet in no time this will be so big this server alone will cover your development costs the only thing you will do is update the code / game to completely-insane server-breaking goat-like hacks that make it impossible for anyone to do anything, nobody needs that but people will find ways if unleashed let it run for as long as it can, APB will make history once more you will be known everywhere and even if it has to be shut down in the future the publicity, profit, experience, fun, all will be priceless and we all will still have what we have now i know it's insane, but this is who we are.. use it and unleash it on the internet. this will be (temporary) bigger than 2.0 and will pay for 2.0 this will grow so fast nothing in gaming history was able to do this, apb, you and this community are the only ones who can make this happen there will be nothing else like it for a long time and it will make you the most until you have 2.0 ready, this will pay for everything, including new ceo cars

Let's call it a ddos for now.

About as hard as it is to have an admin in this game.

^So why all the nerfs? Two faced talk as always.

No, not even half of it. And just look at this thread, disgusting.

Because you might get close, lucky and shoot a ff'd vet in the face. ... basically.

Dumb nerfs because some fuzzybunny buttbuddy cheaters keep crying; "screeeee we are getting killed once in a blue moon". And all that while keeping talk about the elephant in the room a taboo. Having cheaters "support" your game development, giving them mod-alts on the forum. Yeah, this is a zombiefied version of gamersfirst, if that even was possible, but here we have it. Cheaters game 100%. Nothing changed. Nothing will. Attracking new players with this swamp? Funniest joke in 2019. The engine upgrade is a close second, copy pasting old content seems hard enough already. Hahahahahahahahaha. SKILLZ BRO, DEAD GAME!

Wasp, hands down. It's insane. Just stay inside.

As long as the teams that are starting are kind of balanced and we are not talking rage cheaters here, who cares really, it's game. Now if the teams are very unbalanced from the start THAT sure is an issue. Yes THAT is complete bullshoot. Sure you should care about cheating but be reasonable; (1) rage cheating should be an instant EAC catch, if it can't do that why even use anything. (2) NO bias with certain players, if buttbuddy can closet in your game so should erpweeaboo. People will cheat if they want, whatever LO does, whatever ANY game company does, Keep. Starting. Teams. Balanced. !!!!!!! And finally Matt did more for this game than you ever will, how about you go out and rescue a game in distress, have some guts!

Put contacts in Fight Club & RIOT. Make progression on them much slower in these modes, but put them there as well already, new(er) players need more ways to catch up. Just do it! Don't be so conservative with the main game, try stuff! Maybe you are going full speed on the engine update now, which would be amazing, but please after that, just try such stuff. It cannot hurt the game, people will play the modes they like anyway. Also it would add way more initiative to go Premium in these modes,etc, etc, etc. DO IT, try stuff! It's your game now!!

Talking about cheaters is toxic. Talking about fake skill is toxic. Talking about bad people is toxic. "Fucking silvers." Right? Talking about a clown and his shitshow.

Leveling contacts in Waterfront can be troublesome, even on peak hours, not even considering that some players have different times and schedules. Some important modifications, weapons, etc etc, are locked behind these contacts. Because you have to level both Financial and Waterfront contacts to even progress towards +195 modifications, weapons, etc etc, a lot of stuff from Waterfront and indirectly Financial is gated like this. Pre-making enforcer & criminal level boosting groups are currently a valid tactic for Waterfront, which isn't fun or possible for just all, or even in the spirit of the game, it's just a player made solution. To be quite honest even for Financial contacts or an APB with overflowing districts the suggestion following below wouldn't be an offensive or counter-productive thing to do; people will still have roles, achievements, farming, threat, designing, etc, as designations to play the game. Premium would still be preferred to progress what isn't skipped (XP), earn APB$ money, customization boosts and extras, activated abilities cooldown, the Armas discount and even Armas trials. In fact being able to skip some of the contacts might make people who want to spend money on your game play and spend more. Play how you like, make more alt re-roll characters, etc. And all of it would just be optional to purchase for customers. So here it is; Please consider adding contact level boosters / contact skippers to Armas. And duh you don't have to introduce these ridiculously cheap, I'd say just make them competitive with buying premium time. Heck, you could even limit the amount you can buy per account. It would be pay to progress contacts, not pay to win and could be a valid new source of income for Armas. Please consider adding something like this. Thanks.

Yes please let us level waterfront contacts in fight club or something. Or any contact in fight club as an alternative, for the sake of variation. Or put level boosters on Armas so we can skip contacts / levels. Anything, you have to get lucky to level in Waterfront.

More than half of the so called survey offers wanted your cellphone number and would charge you more than you'd ever get in g1c from those offers, Those that did not try to scam you, wanted a lot of private information from you, including real contact information. The people I knew that completed offers, filled them out with rubbish information to get the free g1c. It was for people who had xx89 g1c and needed xx99 g1c to buy something. (Which does suck let's agree with that )

Just remove all weapons except ntec. Who needs any viable counter-tactics in a game anyway? Nobody that's who. And hey if we could get aim-assist on that ntec the whole game will be balanced.

Feeling OP's post. @Kreedz People currently feel quite comfortable in showing off their stuff, for example if they have a speed-hack. No secret here, so to repeat the record once more; for a speed-hack to go undetected by a running battleye, is complete BS... so we can openly state here that there must a way to disable / bypass the battleye we have now. From there on we can explain why we see too much cheaters. Yes this is bad, but it also cannot go unnoticed. I dare to say we can be damn sure LO takes notice of this. Battleye probably knows as well. The game engine update might be needed to get the fully updated battleye (new version) and better battleye support. MattScott has also stated they are looking at additional approaches to keep the game more clean. But again the game engine update might be needed first. Keep reporting them though. I'll do the same.

The population of APB is now soooo low. The number of cheaters in this game, the continuing development of cheats for this game, the active rmt market, that's those players. Nobody else. As always, even our newest officials downplay this, prefer to closet it. Just like in the past, the same volunteers get 'elected' as community representatives. Toxic behavior, cheat denying, even verbally attacking people who talk about the community problems which always have been present here. The only constant this game has always seen is this rotten part of the community. They are still here. Cheating, cheat development, exploiting, selling, all still a problem. There is almost nobody else left. And the few which raise their voice? Well, as a stirred pack of dogs they get encountered on the forum or in the game. The pop is so low. The active people so limited. One could would almost become inclined to believe that the people who are still doing this are just allowed to do this, the past repeating with the old famously notorious g1 clans we had, which were leftovers of the old problematic clans RTW fought with. Still trying covert tactics which a minimal population. Absolutely genius.

Yeah man, P2W isn't found in Joker boxes, it's such a huge mistake these people keep making. Joker guns are always worse than similar white weapons, but, because they can be traded and are collectables, while sometimes perky or funny to play, they are worth in-game money. Collector items. People see them being sold for millions of APB$, those MUST be pay-2-win. Right? The only legendary that comes a bit close is the Vulcano, but, you'd always need to be a maximum distance from the target for that to count. Because of this. the Osmaw is absolutely still the stronger and better launcher. Again, a Vulcano could be considered more funny to play though... and that's it. We debunked all Joker legendaries. White guns are better. Let's just say it; "and some legendary guns are not just worse, they simply are utter crap". Is there no P2W though? Well, you see, we can buy all the meta guns, fully unlocked, pre-modded, from Armas. Is this pay-to-progress or pay-2-win? I think pay-2-progress is stretching it a bit with some of the 3-slot guns. Even though you can unlock them in-game, sure, but like because, with the current pop it it s going to take a bloody long while to unlock them all. You can just pay to have the best of the best stuff from the get-go, on all your alts. And then we have the more rare Armas guns like the LCR and what not. But hey almost nobody thinks this private non-tradable non-legendary market is pay-2-win. How do people even know you paid for them? Maybe if you are rank 1 with all 3 slots available. Or maybe people know that one weapon you are holding isn't always up for sale. No man, the under-powered Joker collectables .... people see them for millions of APB$, those MUST be pay-2-win. Right? It's almost as if these are a distraction of what could be considered P2W.
