How is the patch doing for you?
DedGaem replied to Excalibur!'s topic in General Discussion Archive
You can argue all you like, when a person with a semi-auto only has to hold his aim while a program rapid fires (AHK, Mouse wheel bind, or mouse software), it becomes a full auto with extreme accuracy compared to the nerfed limitation of full auto guns in game to prevent their being OP with widening bloom to greatly nerf accuracy at the expense of extreme rapid fire. The limit on low recoil, high accuracy, low bloom semi-autos is the HUMAN SKILL and inconsistency of requiring to both aim and tap fire. Hence it is an exploit for a clear advantage to macro part of the process, simply aim and program the rapid full auto speed fire portion and over advantage the gun. Macroers should get at least temp bans and a flagged account so GMs can spectate players who've used macros in the past, as anticheats can't detect them. Not from range though, and it's clearly giving an exploited advantage to some weapons, for example the highly accurate, long range obeya... when macroed becomes a full auto sniper. -

Unbanning players before Battleye..WOW
Selali replied to Defibrillator's topic in General Discussion Archive
I just wanted to jump in here and comment about this. We are not doing unbanning for any account that was banned for cheating. We are reviewing accounts that were banned for other reasons so, yes, there are a few accounts that are being unbanned. Even if they say that they were banned for cheating and now have their account back, it is not true. We are still following this post: Selali -
The last couple of months has been pretty crazy for the APB community. So many old players are coming back from the unbans and so many new players are trying the game for the first time, we're hitting population levels higher than ever in the past two years. APB received it's first update in over a year and a half iirc. LO has people's attention and a great deal of hope is being placed in them. Things are changing at a way faster pace then it was a year ago, but for better or for worse has yet to be determined. Everything so far points towards progress so with that in mind what are some of the biggest changes that you guys are looking forward to seeing in APB with the coming months/years? Obviously an engine update is in need, so before they really decide to add anything major to the game it should most likely wait till post engine update. But personally I'm hoping that after the update we see at least a handful of new cars. Not super sport luxury or anything of the sort. Just maybe a bigger verity of civilian cars. More compacts, sedans, SUVs and trucks. Or even at least different kits/models for the existing ones. I feel a weapon rebalance should be a thing, not suggesting what should be rebalanced though. Maybe a wider array of weapons too? I know we have a lot right now but the majority of them are remeshes. Honestly, ask yourself, in your weapon lockers, from Loyalty rewards and the likes, how many damn remeshes do you have? Sword, PDW, C9 and PSR. Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. And two of them are the same thing! So definitely adding weapons just to bring something new to use into the game would be nice. Given they aren't ARMAs or Joker Distribution guns. Gotta make something new for the common man right? Something to get people to work towards. New cars from contacts would be nice. Unlike the Growl that was supposed to be for everyone turned out to be a half a mil sad mess that didn't have any other slot variants besides freebie 2 slot or premium 4 slot. (As far as I know, and I even bought Pack of Rev on launch for acc bound). Oh and the Coywolf is only available to free players though a massive grind and it's not even customize-able. And this is coming from someone who owns two of them for both his crim and enf. Again, just spit balling ideas. As always, curious to hear what you guys think. TL;DR Want new civ cars that are available to FTP and P2P gamers alike. Same with weapons, More unique weapons that aren't remeshes and a weapon balance.

Look, no one likes cheaters. But there is no possible way cheating can be stopped. Not in a FTP game where IP bans can be evaded, and new reroll accounts made endlessly and instantly. Just give up. You cannot punish them. You cannot ban them permanently. So stop trying and wasting resources and ensnaring the innocent players with settings that actually work. STOP. Permanent bans are a huge failure and have nearly destroyed this game and turned it into a vicious, ugly, hateful toxic community who can't wait to destroy more accounts. We just need a fair and instant solution. Temporary kicks for suspicious players who exceed the normal parameter settings for a district. And I don't mean someone who gets, what 15 kills or even 28 kills this one time. But someone BLATANT who far exceeds the norm repeatedly. Should get a kick because... either he's too good for school and needs to play in a higher skill district... or he's not human and is using some automation. Either way, the kicks would be that very day and not months later... so the average players get a break. And the above average players should still be beneath the radar... but those too brilliant amazing god-tier players... can get a few minutes time off. And if they are so excellent, they can create their own special platinum district or tone down their cheats, erhm... fantasticness.

Instant Temp Kicks for suspicious players for a brief cooling off is the solution!~ What LO NEEDS to do is for every suspicious player flagged... give them an immediate temp kick from game, and a 15-30 min cooling off time. if they are legit... they must be playing too good for the district average in which they entered. If they are not legit, everytime their program gets them kicked, which should be frequent enough to be comical, they might just turn the dam thing off. In any event, BANS have FAILED. Esp since they just rage reroll instantly... so immediate temp kicks are the solution. the account remains intact, so no reason to rage or even make a new account since... in a short time, you can log back in what's the point? Back in the day, where there were *disputed* a large number of closets... the game was actually good, because cheaters tried very hard to stay under the radar, and games were doable against them if you had some skill. Even if we can just return to that, we'll have our game back. It was this perma-ban witch hunt that destroyed the morale of the population, destroyed the clans, destroyed reputations of the streamers who actually were advertising the game, etc. Plus temp kicks free LO from the significant manpower and time investment of manual review process. Just bring on temp kicks for mischief. I'd much rather see someone with 17 kills in bronze get a temp kick out of mission for playing too good, and still able to log back in after a few minute, then wait months and months and perhaps a year for some blatant rager to get perma banned and reroll in 1 minute.

But you don't seem to get that banning cheaters doesn;t work when they can reroll, and steamroll the population making exorbitant cash to just buy the best legendaries and rinse repeat on new trainee accounts. Not only does banning FAIL to stop the hacking... it enrages the hacker population causing MORE hacking. And not only that, it greatly diminishes the population. The time I'm talking about... when APB had a &disputed* large amount of closet accounts... and big clans and talented streamers... they did not WANT to lose their hard-earned reputations or investments and thus played gently, and more often then not legit... to AVOID a ban. Well once mad bans happened, people didn't care about reputation and so it degenerated to what we have now. But in the closet days we had a game with 3 million active accounts so... yeah. We need 1. fairness, and immediate kicks force people to rethink... 1. turn off cheats (if cheating) or 2. play in a higher threat, greater skilled district (if legit but too good( and 3... it PRESERVES the population... which in APB has hemorrhaged into near extinction under G1. I don't mean *do better* as in play better. I mean *do better* as in not get KICKED. Why should golds be squashing bronzes in a bronze district? If they get kicked either they tone down their playstyle to be with friends, or they up their ante and play with equals.

Yeah so.... WHY ARE ALL OF MY LEGENDARIES MISSING????
Vipertechs replied to CookiePuss's topic in General Discussion Archive
They didn't find that you were innocent. They found that enough of the bans didn't have sufficient evidence to prove that they were for a good reason and they have done a blanket un-ban which does NOT equate to innocence of everyone being unbanned. Tiggs is still around working with LO, perhaps if they asked her, she might be able to tell them if (for example) people banned for scamming had all the legendaries removed from their account during the banning process. -

Are you sure your account didn't get compromised and your things emailed away to another player? -

PoshDoll replied to CookiePuss's topic in General Discussion Archive
i feel you. i really do. but being able to log back into an account you lost for doing things that are not allowed is a privilege for which we should be grateful. take losing your items and your currencies as a ticket to your old account. had they not given us this privilege, we would never see our old accounts back. that's how i see it at least. who says i wasn't affected?... -
Will Our Weapons That Were Scammed From Us Be Returned?
Letter replied to Javanick's topic in General Discussion Archive
Also LO should properly trace and remove all scammed weapons from scammers and strip their new accounts of everything they have traded. There is an infamous scammer on Citadel who stole at least 5 weapons *from G1's/LO's paying clients* (some of them quit as the result) - he just moved the weapons from throw-away scamming accounts to his main, then passed it further to newly unbanned cheater account. Then he traded a bit and now have full collection of legendary weapons. AFAIK there are multiple tickets against the guy and his accounts yet LO did nothing concrete so far, except for banning throw-away accounts. If anything this is an invitation to do the same for the rest of the player base. -
If Joker Box items become untradeable to comply with legislation, then Legendaries need to become account wide.

When you're trading off of CA3, no, because 9 times out of 10, they'll just rush you after that and since you're tagged, you're probably going to lose the fight. Also need to take into account how few people are running explosive weapons, excluding nades, flak is just too situational. You're not going to take it to counter that one guy with an osmaw. At least talking from a fight club perspective here. tl;dr, flak is good, just not good enough.

Transcript for the APB Q&A Session One
Nymphi-DoubleDee replied to SKay's topic in General Discussion Archive
Exactly. It'd be one thing if I was trying to purposefully commit fraud, or if it was done in a reasonable time frame. I am glad Matt stated that it was wrong. Not gonna ask for my original forum account to be unbanned, maybe... Cause, I will admit my last post (that got deleted, but Sadira quoted) was quite hostile. -
And that would be a computer from 2010. Which by most standards would be a turtle. So running windows 7 on that cutting edge Core2Duo with 4gb of ram and omg the latest directX 9.0c! Don't forget that video card with 256mb of ram! Devs don't account for everything and as long as it is not interfering with the gameplay why cry about it so much. Did the devs ever care to take into consideration color blind people? Nope! And that is really shit in a game where its is just Red vs Green.

I LIKE IT! I have got my original forum account back! BOOYA!

Hmmm, got more than that on my lil Xboner uno account and i'm not able to do it. (Nice lil notif sound btw )

BattlEye patch is Friday 4am Pacific / 11am UTC
Senpai replied to MattScott's topic in General Discussion Archive
I don't understand would you rather let them leave your accounts banned? You're getting unbanned be happy about it you have to pay a small price for it! If G1 was still in control you would still be shit out of luck on getting unbanned. -

Shui replied to MattScott's topic in General Discussion Archive
Nice that you unban all the poor KTTC boys ... But why on earth would you unban FFA exploiters as well ? Also I would have deleted all legendarys on every unbanned account too. -
Accounts banned by G1 staff trades/language etc..
Bornstellar replied to N0rbat's topic in General Discussion Archive
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Matt stated that all banned accounts will be unbanned when BE is out. -
Hello I'd like to change my ingame name as but when i add as friend the name i want (just to check if it's available or not) on Citadel it says the character doesn't exist but when i try to create a new character and name with said name it said it's already used. This is kinda frustrating honestly so i want to ask at LO Staff if they are thinking of a name purge in the future because also having lots of names unused could restrict also in new players joining while unable to find their name. Thank you.

Name purge of inactive/unmerged accounts?
YumiSakura replied to Vace's topic in General Discussion Archive
To be honest accounts that haven't yet merged probably never will. i say wipe em. the names that is. -
send out an email, give it two weeks, then force a name change on every account thats been inactive for more than 365 days
