ExpectoPatronum

Player mod which removes the clothes of all female player characters in the district and sure add the male variation as well for all you eternal **** here. About the car well it is past time for a motorcycle (2 seat, maybe even a 3 seat motorcycle with a sidecar that would also hold an item). But I am sure I lost you on that naked male mod.

If you look for it on the web.... There is a small group of people active on the site that's currently the main cheat-developer for little apb. They sell it, includes the bypass. There is a small group of people active on the site which rmt-sells armas guns for real money. Huge pile of guns is being offered though by a few people. There is a small group of people who are very active with cheating alt accounts. There is a small group of hardcore trolls that don't play here, it's what they do for a living. And finally we have a few suckers who buy their junk. We have around 300 concurrent people online. If you can't spot the weirdos you're a troll yourself.

Found a bad one: Le Edit: "The general skill will always be the largest group. The high and low will always be the smallest group." Oh well. Nobody will probably read it anyway? No edits. Gosh this forum is so weird.

Uhm. Mmh? Oh great, no edit option??? Right, sure, I hope I didn't make too much typing errors then. Typed this in one go and slammed submit. Really, no edits? Haha.

I don't agree with permanent bans at all as those never fixed anything. I'm not claiming to be an expert on all this but here's my view; - For blatant hackers I'd want something like a 24 hours block on first proof, 48 hours on second proof and then a repeating 120 hours of blocking for any new proof. Will this scare blatant hackers? Not at all and neither will permanent bans, hardware id bans, IP-address bans or any bans what so ever for that matter. They can and will circumvent any of these bans, not excluding my blocking suggestion. The only thing you want to do here is giving these people a strong message; your behavior is wrong and we will remove you from this game. Therefor this 24-120 hours of blocking 'system' has to decide swift and relentless - which you can do with blatant hackers. Nobody will ever be permanent banned, in fact, besides not being able to play the game without creating an alternative account, the worst that could happen would be something like; losing premium time, or, missing out on an event on the account in question for being blatant. This is a fine balance between punishment and losing items as long as the system decides swift and relentless. - Well that covers blatant hackers. What about players which try to hide their hacks? Now, I'm not condoning cheating. I do not like it I don't even understand the idea of fun behind it. However, if there are paying customers on your game which just love to hack and pretend, I'd let them. What? Yes. If people enjoy what they are doing they will be more willing to spend. No catch? There is one catch; your game will also have people, like me, who do not enjoy hacking. Consequently we do not like to play against hackers. Do I want to win every match? Heck no. What fun would that be and how could I ever improve? Do I never want to meet a hacker? Impossible. So what gives? The answer to this old question is simply looking at the bell curve skill rating of people and match them up against opponents which are compatible with their bell curve. What this means: the whole population is a bell curve of skill. The general skill will always be the largest group. The high and and low and will always be the lowest group. Match individuals while creating a group, or a preset group, against opponents compatible with their bell curve. For people who can't visualize this; yes, in an unfortunate match-up you, an average player, could still be playing against a hacker, but, a very skilled player would also on your side of the match. And yes, in a very fortunate macth-up for a hacker he / she could be playing against quite skilled opponents which do not hack at all. And in a very fortunate match-up these same quite skilled players which do not hack could be matched against very average normal players. This is about the bell curve of skill, all players, you as an individual and your pre-made group; you will get the full spectrum of matches, from hard to normal to easy. So what the heck does this do then anyway?!? Why have anything like this at all?!! We were talking about hackers. Even the hacker population has a bell curve if you look at their skill. Just like that group of actual new players, those new fresh players this game definitely needs. No not re-rolls, new fresh people. What this system does is the following: you are allowed to be new, you are allowed to be godlike, you are allowed to grow and drop in skill towards any point between these two extremes, like every normal person would be able to. But, looking at your whole history, this so called bell curve of skill you have, isn't the same as de-threating and exploiting the bronze/silver/gold ranking system now. If you play good, even a fraction of one match, on a fresh new account, this is known data and you will have a better rating (last time I'm going to say bell curve) than those actual new fresh people we all need. And they need to grow, become average, maybe even become good, heck let some even become godlike in the end, reaching the upper ends of our community. Basically, basically, it means you and everyone will have easy, hard and normal matches and the harder you push to be godlike the harder it will become to maintain that. I'd even favor (new / adjusted) visual skill-ranks for this, as it should be in any competitive game, sport or event you can think of. And yes to make everyone enjoy their progress I'd say - give the top 5% something as previously suggested, like the diamond skill rating, visually. Maybe on leader boards? And just as important; an exploiter would have to re-roll after every match if they wanted to harass this game out of new people, which will happen, but, not only they very obvious, they cannot push their instant re-roll harassment without getting a swift and relentless 24-120 hours block leaving them to create their next re-roll and their harassment even more useless. And remember the same applies to people trying to blatantly hack their way into a high skill rating. That's what we started with and based this whole idea on. - Oof, oh yes, normal players. Well we actually covered them already as nobody is getting a special treatment here; play your game, you will have a skill pattern (almost said the curve word again), and you will have the full experience as well; easy, hard and normal matches which will develop along with you and the harder you push to be godlike the harder it will become to maintain that. Visual rank skills, leader boards, same stakes, same game, but not this completely screwed fakegreen / bronzegold / silvergold / realgold "who cares about rank 1-XYZ" matchmaking anymore, which has been exploited for years now. This part is broken. Don't fix what isn't broken in this game.

I did like the BR styled events and I do like BR.

Why joke about something serious like this? LO is being attacked by real criminals. Get a grip.

Just made an account here, to post about the strange lag on Citadel, but my posts are being blocked. What do I do? Thanks.

This update sounds very interesting. Didn't even know about it. Maybe you guys should have a news link in-game or something. Or did I miss it? I barely visit the forums myself. Didn't even have an account to post (just made it because of the strange lag on Citadel).

Was about to ask about this just now so thank you for replying. Appreciate it, I can still play but at times it does lag some (even thought it was my internet). Alright.
