Name purge of inactive/unmerged accounts?
Deku replied to Vace's topic in General Discussion Archive
Is it really so hard to take 2 minutes out of a whole year to login and logout to refresh your account? -
You all know that it costs money to maintain a online game and that it is eventually necessary to sell their products to the players to assure that the game can stay online and running with good Support?! Sure, it would be nice to get all stuff for free or for a price as low as possible.... but that is not possible all time. I only buy Account wide weapons, the other option make no sense for me because i have 14 chars on my main and i want to play with all chars this weapons. I have spend much money on my Acc but that is not the case. The case is that all the purchased stuff spams my ingame mail after new char creation with over 500 or more mails and it drives me crazy every time to accept them... xD But i understand what you mean....

Hi everybody! A week ago I asked a question on the social district ingame about the weapon account bound upgrade. Let me clear up the situation. I have 2 chars on my account, one is a crim, the other one is an enfo. I have a char bound weapon on the crim, and if i know it right, i should have the opportunity to upgrade this weapon from char bound to account bound. But i don't have this opportunity. On the social ingame they said that i know it right, and it should work. I tried everything, but i can't see the discounted price for the update on the Armas Marketplace. They told me that i should write a ticket to the support, and i did it. It was a week ago. I got no answer at all... Im so disappointed right now. I don't know its a bug or something on my account, or why i can't see the discount price to upgrade? Please help me to get a proper answer for this, cuz i don't know that its a bug or what. Thanks!

Still waiting on the official word though, something like this is pretty unheard of... If this is just implemented the way we are perceiving it, then it's going to cause a lot of unnecessary mix up of accounts based on some wild theory-crafted "identification" method that no forum-based place uses. Merge forum accounts but not game accounts? Again: Having multiple game accounts pretty much equals to, nearly by default, multiple forum accounts. If you decide to mix up one of those sides, forcefully, you are asking for problems in the long run (especially if the identity key that they are going to use and then be based on isn't truly unique). I understand making changes, but they still need to be discussed and really thought out. While these are just the forums, at what point does this unpracticed/undiscussed "implementation" process impact game decisions--which exactly the path that ruined G1. @Lixil

@Lixil- Care to explain the thought process on this (especially if this is forced)? In game, multiple accounts are not against the ToS (with the caution: if you break rules on one, all your accounts can get the hammer)--since coming to G1, this was told to us. Is this wild idea just to make sure the upcoming "Volunteer GMs" can't evade the rules they will have to agree to? You even said earlier that GMs have separate accounts themselves... On the forum rules, it states: Having multiple game accounts pretty much equals to, nearly by default, multiple forum accounts. Merging different accounts sounds ridiculous especially with those who share internet, VPN, or visit forums on free wifi/cell-service. I'm not saying there are not people who have multiple forum accounts with the sole purpose of violating those rules (which justice should be served)...but I rather not have random accounts merged with mine, lose this one, or some other stupid thing that usually happens with half-arsed merges. I have never heard of any forum-like service that merged accounts. Some people purposely separate their game account from their forum account...much like they should do on the internet. For example: If you are dumb enough to share one email to all services you use, you pretty much leave a single-point of entry to your internet life. tl;dr - What is the point of merging accounts? What does it solve? Who thought of this?
-
I just have two accounts which I use actively... And no. I really don't want them to be merged.
-
It doesn't solve anything. It is just a burden to anyone that actually uses multiple accounts for legit reasons and anyone that doesn't will just make new accounts anyway.
-
I'm just waiting for the list of my accounts that will obviously be missing a few and likely even include accounts that are not mine. Or something to go wrong with the merge.
-
I understand what they want to do, but if you have multiple accounts and you use a VPN for each different account, they will never be able to detect it so ...

So why is it that when check if a name is available by trying to add the name as a friend. Where it will say there is no one by that name. However, when I try to make a character with that name it says its already taken. I understand that they might be banned and the name is just lost forever, but damn LO should really clear the banned name pool if those people aren't going to take their account back. I want the name Polaroid so bad.

Mainly because the majority of us were relatively high ranks. The issue isn't with the players or the mission in the screenshot. The issue is with the high rank players being in a Bronze district. The higher the rank, the more experience they have playing the game. High and low ranks should be separated. For accounts with multiple characters, the highest ranking character should be used for balancing, so an experienced player cant just join a Bronze server and seal-club everyone else. -
Match making needs a major tweak in regards to how threat is calculated, or remove threat entirely. The current match making is based on how much you score rather than the amount of kills and deaths you have. Deaths do not factor in at all when it comes scoring and objectives make up a majority of the score you earn. It's normally lop sided for the team with the most objectives in the first place. So losing defense missions hurts your threat more than losing offensive missions. If match making took account for deaths and removed some score when players died, match making would be less of a problem than it is now. Match making is too easily skewed due to the amount of score you receive from objectives as compared to kills. You could become gold 10 without killing a single person if you tried. -
Mass farmed accounts is where the real money is at. Sell it before it gets banned for cheating, easy money and sucks to be the buyer. -
Also, as for making more cash working at McDonald's, whats the point? What do the DDoSers get out of borking the servers? These are just examples of how people push the envelope to break the game's intention. And so I addressed a variety of problems, like scammers, cheaters who move cash and legendaries thru several accounts and or game the system to make money by borking the game rather than playing fairly and investing in it... but for some people the denial runs deep. Ok, np. buy 60 legendaries and sell them from a third party company for irl cash. It's cool, making less cash than working at McDonald's... it's also a violation of the terms of service and hurts the game on so many levels... shame you can't see that. -
if you gift something and then chargeback whoever you gifted it to gets banned if they don’t do it like that, then everyone would just make throwaway accounts to gift free stuff to their mains catch 22

I had this idea floating around in my head for a while so I'm going to try to do my best to explain it. Essentially the threat system is at a point where it is very easy to get gold which also means that being Gold doesn't exactly mean that you're even half decent at the game. A way to fix this would be to simply add another threat as suggested many times before, this is a great idea but it won't work out if it is simply a threat like Gold that you'll eventually hit. I think that Little Orbit should look back at Leaderboards and see if they can be added back into the game so they can have a Threat that works in a similar way as the "Challenger rank" in League of Legends works. This Rank is awarded to the Top 200 players in the "Masters" Leaderboards. I think this could work very well in a game such as APB, taking the Gold threat and being able to gain and lose points depending on how you do in missions, factoring and valuing many things such as Objective Play, KDR, Winning or losing and converting these into points which can be checked via the leaderboards. The top 100-200 players would be given the Platinum or Diamond Rank but can lose it by either losing their points due to playing poorly or due to being pushed out of the leaderboards by better players. It would also be ideal to have a Seasonal reset for that particular Leaderboard. What would this require tho? Leaderboards being added back into the game. A solid formula that doesn't overvalue certain things such as it is now with doing Objectives. A system that removes banned players from the Leaderboard. (So it doesn't get cluttered with cheaters even after their accounts were banned) Active developers listening to community feedback based on point distribution in case things are broken, overvalued or are becoming stale. A patch dedicated to balancing missions. (And also one dedicated to Weapon balance but this has already confirmed to be in the works.) Matt mentioned something along the lines of making the game more competitive and I feel like giving players something to constantly grind and fight for would be a massive step in that direction. Let me know what you think, this is just a general concept I had in mind and would love to hear feedback or criticism.

Been having the issue like forever... In my old pc as well as this new one...... But using a clean account = 0 lags... Also if i made a new char n delete all the guns = 0 lag........ -
Will you guys wipe the unmerged names?
BlatMan replied to Swibby's topic in General Discussion Archive
When Reloaded did the merge, they went by which characters were active in the last month, not who created the character first or which character had the longest hours played. Most likely someone on another server used that name and signed in once during that time period. Even on my storage account I had two characters with the same name. The one that was created first and played the longest was the one that was required to get a name change. -
This is a good idea, but some accounts has been banned since the merge and are logging back in just about now as the first unban wave has been done and a second one is about to roll out too. There are truly unused character names though, registered incorrectly as "in use" by the system. Example: I made a name change which I regretted. Payed for another name change to change back to that name, system says name is taken. I'm pretty sure it isn't. I think there are plenty of names like this registered as taken which are not taken at all. I wrote a ticket to support to see if that name could be released. We'll see what they reply.
-
Yeah there's at least one name left in the void of merge limbo that I'd like. Be interesting if people unbanned actually did still have their money/JT. If so, I'm not sure why you'd want to bring attention to it. Of course people like me always want to see sweet justice done evenly and fairly. I imagine running batches to apply things to accounts has always been problematic at best, so unless they did it ALL manually, I can imagine people did slip through the cracks. How unfortunate if true.

All numbers you see of "estimated total APB owners" aren't actually owners, it's people who have booted up the game once. For a f2p game, there's no investment there, and so lots of people boot the game, immediately decide they don't like it, and never do so again. And the actual number for that stat is 5,874,946. Nice. But, I object to your assertion that there is a flaw in my previous statement. You said that these people have created 20 accounts, cheated on them, and been caught on them. These are people dedicated to playing this game. The likelihood that they're going to be part of the active population at the start of APB's revival is really high. Do I think that 10% of current users have cheated at this game? That sounds like a really high number, and I don't really want to believe it. I'd personally put it at ~5%. There's probably a couple cheaters for every full Fight Club instance. But to answer the question: the cheaters are in your games, if you're playing against high-rank golds. If you're a bronze, you probably don't run into them much.

Mine is about something else but account related, I'm #4884 and sent it almost a month ago, take a number and sit patiently like the rest of us @.@

I do my survey with my phone in the normal way like everyone else except that I've never closed the peanutlab page so I think it's still linked to my gamerfirst account in some way.

The Last Achievement Left...... is Car Thief..
TheJellyGoo replied to a topic in General Discussion Archive
I had a few that unlocked later in a random (still completed of course) mass unlock wave long time ago. What could also help is logging into another APB account that has those achievements unlocked. Think I did that for the "Kind of a Big Deal" one for example.
