1. Run anti-cheat in normal mode, with constant updates. --- Already done. (Easy Anti Cheat) 2. Every week to show the results of anti-cheat. Banned list. --- Why would we bring back name and shame? 3. Work on complaints to support. Without standard formal replies. --- Support has been getting faster over the last few months as they work through backlog. ( I believe it takes 2 weeks now) 4. to realize the normal operation of the report. -- what? 5. Regularly check for cheats and cheaters. --- EAC was already added and has shown to be effective we don't have an exact idea of the GM side of things but EAC is regularly checking and has banned people. 6. Issue compensation for cooperation with the administration and assistance in identifying cheaters. Failure to comply with the above requests will result in a boycott. --- "give me free stuff cause out of the 50 people i called a cheater today one was a cheater" To assume no one is getting banned is literally ignoring the facts multiple people have posted to the forums and community discord about getting banned for using banned clients and other rule breaks. I don't know who you are but your English is terrible and you seem to generally have a lack of understanding as to what is going on with APB, I get it you and your 5 friends circle jerk all your shitty theories about whats going on but the fact you didn't even realize a new anti cheat was added to the game and has been shown to have results from the cheaters themselves bitching about getting banned is astounding. Name and shame is a system that Little orbit doesn't want if you have a problem with that tough shit. It is genuinely amazing how stupid some people are, its not hard to follow public knowledge about the game and see whats going on in the community, all the energy you used to make this post could have been spent reading up on all the shit you got wrong. Also while you may think you and a few friends not spending money on the game will change anything it wont, the games player base may be small but a minority of people not spending money isn't going to change anything your better off moving to a new game or keeping yourself informed with whats going on and not asking for shit that is already added.

New JMB legendary drop rate and disclosure
Explosion replied to MattScott's topic in General Discussion Archive
The issue is they have to work on a system that allows people to obtain legendary guns while not pissing anyone off as well as making it fair and balanced, its not something they can just jump at and a slow transition towards it makes sense. -
I completely agree with you, I was a bit aprehensive of making it a part of social as I thought some people may find that annoying i guess part of breakwater galleria could be changed though seeing as most of it is unused.

The Clan Update Hey guys! I wanted to just throw this idea out there because when I think about APB beyond 3.5 I realize we don’t know much about actual expansions to the current content and gameplay elements of the game. With that in mind I decided to fully think out an expansions to clans in the game. Right now in game clans are glorified chat rooms that people jump into with friends and have no real effect on the game. This update would try to add the ability to gain some benefits from being with a clan, and encouraging people to invest and work together. Below I list requirements to access certain aspects that includes APB$ costs this is to try to make sure that people investing into this content will be active clans so there isn’t unnecessary storage being wasted on the games databases as well as giving people a goal to work towards. So when a clan wants to expand into this new content they must invest into a clan base, this would be a new social area primarily for the members of the clan. The requirements for this could be at least 10 members and 100’000 APB$ this gives you access to the core social area a basic space to hang out with clan members change loadouts and access the market. The style of these bases are decided by the faction the clan is apart of and possibly multiple styles could be chosen from, example: An Enforcer clan could decide between a more military like space or a more traditional police station look and a Criminal clan could decide between a nightclub or criminal safe house look. After purchasing the basic social space a clan can expand to unlock additional features for the social area and various clan benefits. An idea for some is listed below: The Barracks/Living Quarters - This space would give players the option to create symbols and change their outfits, along with this it would unlock an additional clothing slot on a players loadout screen for the clans uniform. This uniform would be set by either the leader of the clan or a member with permission to change it, these uniforms could be different by rank or can be altered slightly with certain pieces locked that a member cannot change. The garage - This space gives the players access to create symbols and modify their cars as well as giving the clan access to a clan car, like the outfit it is primarily designed by a higher level member of the clan and provides the ability for a clan to have a uniformed look when playing together. With the car I believe it should possibly have a weekly or monthly cost of APB$ for the upkeep of the vehicle this could be expanded to a choice of 3 cars each increasing the upkeep cost of providing this upgrade. To balance this cost i believe the vehicles should have mods set up on them. The armory (this is just an extra idea i wanna put out there) - The armory would provide a means to buying weapons and gear from the joker store and contacts, along with this it gives them full access to clan wars. Clan Wars would be a way to do organized pvp between clans, this would be divided into big team pvp (fights in Baylan/Asylum) and then small team 5v5 missions. Both modes would have a leader board with categories for each mode showing the clan with the most wins, kills and more. This could be tied in with rewards for the top clans every month possibly with large sums of Joker Tickets and APB$ for the top clans members. From a story standpoint this could be seen as a leader of a clan establishing their own group within their respective faction like the Praetorian or Blood Roses. I have other ideas regarding clans but this is the stuff that I have personally thought out any questions and criticism is appreciated. -Explosion Edit: Somehow someone thought I wanted to remove things from social district, this is not the case it is just an idea for a private space for clan members to hang out and get some cool bonus stuff for working together.

RIOT Stress Test 4/24 Feedback Thread
Explosion replied to MattScott's topic in General Discussion Archive
Quick things Respawns more messed up than normal apb spawns (i spawned in the middle of a group of enemies). presume they are getting changed but the ui elements that have been added are not great especially the contact symbol not following the same layout as every other contact symbol, ex: green circle with white version of logo inside the circle. I dont know if it was just me but actually running into other players was kind of rare didn't see people till the late stages of matches changing districts broke for me multiple time and i couldn't enter the riot district without resetting my game. edit didnt realise there was questions oops How does RIOT compare to other APB game modes? I found the mode more interesting in concept than fight club but overall didn't have the best time and was bored. Would you encourage your friends to play RIOT? In it's current state no I found it too dull personally and I wouldn't encourage anyone to play something I didn't enjoy. How would you explain RIOT to someone who has never seen it? This is gonna sound harsh but I would say "An attempt to cash in on Battle Royale while at the same time trying to appeal to people who don't like battle royale and getting neither bit right". What ONE THING would you change about RIOT if you could? I would probably do something to increase the chances of fights, fix the respawns and probably just commit to it being a battle royale. What is your favorite aspect of RIOT? It's the first piece of real new content in five or more years. What about RIOT do you like the least? Respawns probably Edit 2: just gonna add that i will properly comment on gameplay stuff more in dept during the EU tests this is more my first impressions. -
That is why I suggested doing it after some time lets be real we have a massive back log of weapons that have been sitting on armas for quite a long time and if they were to even add one gun to each new contact it would take quite a while to get to anything new. Either way releasing them will make people mad (cause lets be honest people like getting mad) I can understand liking the idea of having something exclusive but I just personally like seeing everyone having the option to play the way they want. I do agree though that the people that are almost zealous about not paying money for free to play games are kind of mental but I also don't see them more then a handful of times till they just disappear.

With plans to add new contacts there is going to be guns added for them would you rather have LO spend time working on guns exclusively for these new contacts or pull from the massive pool of guns we have that are only on Armas? I think its more reasonable to use guns we already have available to us to be placed on these contacts instead of using precious development time on making new guns. I'm fine with Armas exclusive weapons when it comes to reskins eg: the vas , but when it's a completely unique gun i personally believe it should be obtainable in game. Is it hard to believe that someone wouldn't still buy a permanent from Armas if they enjoy a gun Also to pin all Armas revenue just on loot boxes and weapons is unrealistic while many of us players who have played for longer own most of the clothing content, a pack with a outfit and a gun is usually the first thing most players tend to purchase (one with a car as well if they have the cash) and that is pretty obvious when you see mid level players wearing a full pack with some basic colour changes. I personally don't believe locking features behind premium is a good way to go about it as the only free to play games that do this successfully are games such as runescape that get away with doing it more because of the games age. Personally I would prefer if LO held APB to the standard of warframe allowing players to gain anything in the game from just playing and keeping the cash store elements as more of a pay for convenience sort of system. It has been shown to be one of the most successful models to follow in recent years in the western F2P market. Side note cause I know someone will think it yes warframe is a hugely popular game and realistically APB is unlikely to ever reach the current popularity of the game however this business model has been the basis of warframe since its early inception and proves to be effective.

This post wasn't about getting permanent guns most of us buy perms on armas, however i just think it would be fair to bring some of the armas guns in the joker store to future contacts. As well it can encourage people to buy a permanent version of the gun off of armas because personally my first armas perm purchases were from guns i used in game that i didn't want to keep leasing. Also while yes there are guns that are reskins their are a lot that are not as well.
-
Lots of people own permenant versions of guns you can lease from contacts already I don't think it would change that really, Like I usually want a perm gun because i use it a lot and dont want to have to continually buy leases.
-
So I'm gonna start this off with a quick response to people who think about using the "you can just buy it response" I do buy stuff on Armas i own multiple account perm guns and loads of other stuff. Now lets get started So currently when it comes to ways for people who cannot afford to buy guns on Armas is through Joker and the grind just to keep one of them weapons is really tough, along with this there are guns on Armas that you still cannot get on the Joker store or even obtain without buying a pack (looking at you revelations). So with this I would like to propose a way to handle introducing Armas weapons into game and making them easier to obtain. So my suggestion is that an attempt is made to eventually move all guns to be available through contacts on leases with Armas being mainly used to permanent buys and the joker store as a holding ground. So for example when a new gun releases on Armas it is at the same time released on the joker store, when it comes around to release a new contact LO can look at the guns in the Joker store and select the guns that have been there the longest and use them with new contacts. Doing it this way means that the guns are able to be accessed by almost every player on release and in time giving access to literally any player if someone enjoys the gun they are still going to go to Armas and purchase a permanent version but a player who wants to try it out can eventually go to a contact and purchase it without having to use their joker tickets or real money. APB needs more content and restricting guns to just Armas or just the Joker store can limit some players ability to use a gun they like, this could start with bringing some guns that are currently on the joker store now to the new contacts that are coming after 3.5. I personally believe giving players access to as much of the games content as possible is beneficial for APB looking into the future and I hope you agree. I'm not the best at putting these posts together so if you have any questions feel free to ask away -Explosion Edit: When i refer to the revelations pack i meant as a perm buy the only way to get the guns from it is through the pack which like come on we should be able to buy them guns separately!

I'm just gonna drop a list here of stuff I'd like to see that i don't think would be too intense to make really Skater Skirts Oversized hoodie and sweater fishnets Overall shorts Also just some more accessories in general to mix and match would personally pay for a pack of just different accessories and little things like that
-
To add to this there is animations in some really earlier trailers of the original RTW release I can't find it right now but its a couple of frames of a dude swinging at the camera with what looks like a bat! There is old animations in the files that show melee was planned along with some snips from a trailer if i recall. I can't find the trailer but here is the animations

The Compact was on innova/nekrova I'm pretty sure so if they do anything with it it will probably be after the nekrova merge. A legendary would be cool but I doubt they would do that tbh.

Hi guys, so I have been thinking about this for a bit and I believe and hope that LO could possibly increase their community interaction. At the very least I think along with Matt's dev blog it would be helpful to run a monthly Devstream similar to what is seen by other games like digital extremes do with their game warframe. In these stream they can gather basic community feed back as developers questions and have upcoming developments presented in a more fun and relaxed format. Along with this I think it would be nice to do in game events involving the various dev's/gm's outside of holiday events possibly events where staff squad up to play against other players or something similar to this. I personally believe that properly interacting and being one with the community is one of the best ways forward as it can allow for a healthier community to grow! If you have never seen any type of devstream here is a link to a recent one from the warframe devs

Premium cooldown reduction is blatantly Pay-to-Win
Explosion replied to Nitronik's topic in General Discussion Archive
This is a straight up unfair advantage it may not seem big to some people but when you put it into practice there is so many situations where it really messed up the flow of gameplay. -
Not saying he's weak at all since he used to leave bodies of blood roses and all at his previous locations when he moved Even further back in my day we had a thing called RTW Points you young whipper snapper

Think its important to see what it says on the website with these bits here in their description (sorry about twitter link but I'm not home right now).

So back in my day Devil Dog used to regularly be moved around the map(and left a mess and sometimes bodies behind) as a way to play into his character, it would be great to see this come back as in general little things like this were nice and gave more life to the games world!
