1. they didn't ask me to provide any document and/or proof of identity. Were I had been asked to do so, I would've complied with no problem. 2. they can literally check on my account's trade log to see if the "story" I'm telling is backed up by facts. 3. again, I'm literally willing to give up all my money, cars and modifications if that mean I can at least have the legendaries I've grinded for for years back. How would this "scam" be on my favour? 4. sorry but it's a bit funny at this point. If someone breaks into your social medias and starts posting shit, your friends are gonna notify you and/or you'll get weird things happening everytime you try looking at your phone. Me knowing about the new features is simply me periodically checking the "news feed" section of Discord's channel and knowing about the game's updates. 5. what you say about scammers does unfortunately make sense but it's very sad that actual issues like mine are less likely to be aknowledge as a result. At the end of the day I'm fine without APB, but both me and the game company lose from this and only 2 pieces of shit gain a benefit from the story.

First off, Your Time isn't worth a chickens cluck. You chose to waste your worthless time just by coming to this forum. Second off, the only peps who play that stupid event are rerolls or low ranks that haven't gotten the awards yet, and I do not see any proof to support your accusation. They have nothing worth exploiting for, and Kerry's been around a long time so he wouldn't need to exploit for some halloween hat or gun skin. Furthermore, He is Not a Hacker, He is Not an Exploiter, Period. APB will not see a Dime from Me nor a microgram of respect until Kerry's account is restored, nor will any firm using EAC get a dime from me. As far as I'm concerned EAC is Malware designed to accept and over look people with aimbots and teleports, and only targets Legit players who refuse to buy such hacks. Kerry was the only 'Other Legit' in Apb next to me, n U Dirty Crooks Banned Him. @MattScott Not a Dime not a penny until this mans account is restored. As far as I'm concerned its EAC Eazy Active Cheat. I will Boycott any Firm using EAC ie Warthunder or any other Firm.

Why a troll? Judging by the author’s message, support returned his account and weapons. Although the situation with weapons is not clear-cut.

There is no place on the EAC website for them to answer APB related bans. The game is not on their list of games supported. So there is no way for EAC to unban. No way for APB support to unban. Every EAC ban is designated by them and can't be undone. Just add in a function of your own to override EAC. By the time anyone looks at these unfair bans, the player is going to be gone. Every cheat is adding in macros, whatever to adjust the game. For someone that is running widely used antivirus software (avg), and no macros, etc., there should be some way to get rid of these false bans. In the webcast, secrets was saying there was some communication with EAC. There should be communication about their false bans and have them show the proof of third party tools. Quoting Matt - 90% of the bans were from other people playing other accounts. Is the other 10% false bans then? Why is there no help for a false ban?? Please follow up with EAC. My account was banned because of their mistake. I don't have any third party tool and I'm still waiting for my account to be fixed.

@MattScott So do to this person being false banned, and seeing known blatants still playing on my last visit to apb, I will not only not pay apb for anything, I will also not pay any game that uses EAC, including War Thunder. Regardless of If You do the Right thing and give Kerry his account back. Any Firm associating or consorting with EAC will not get a dime from me.

Got another email from support saying 'we can't help'. And too busy to help with other support issues going on. This is an easy fix, tell EAC they screwed up and unban my account. How hard is that?? Maybe Matt will address issue today with LO Q&A

Hey, everybody. I'm an old player and have been playing on my account for 12 years now, with long breaks. After a long pause, I decided to get back into the game and found that my NTEC Crimslayer has disappeared. I distinctly remember it having two slots and being permanent because when I returned to the game after a few years, it was still in my inventory. I can't recall how I acquired it, but I believe I won it in an event. If you can remember, please provide me with the details. I decided to contact support and explained my situation to them. Support asked me to link a new email and change my password to a new one after I provided them with all the necessary information, such as my birth year, account creation date, the characters I have on my account, my Steam ID, and recent transactions, in order to resolve my problem. I linked a new email and changed my password, but since then, I haven't been able to log into my account. Despite contacting support multiple times, they keep advising me to check my password, delete the cache, and try again. However, since yesterday evening, I've changed my password five times and still can't log in to my account. Support's responses are very slow, and since yesterday, I have had no access to the game. I am extremely disappointed that support is ignoring my problem, especially after I've done everything they asked. I believe it is the support's fault that I now have no access to my account. My account, as I mentioned, is 12 years old, and I don't want to lose it as it holds many memories for me. What do you advise me to do? I hope someone from support sees this post and helps me regain access to my account.

First things first, massive thanks for breaking the silence and coming forward with an AMA stream (though I do understand the reasons behind the silence as described in the recent blogpost; again, my condolences, and I wish the best for the future). As for the actual questions I would have, trying not to repeat the ones I've already seen here: For all of the love I have for the game as a whole, I'm also eager to point out that APB's first time user experience (FTUE) is absolutely abysmal. The tutorial system is clunky and uninviting; some time ago I'd managed to get a friend of mine to give the game a shot and he said he found my advice a lot more comprehensible than the tutorial menu. I remember that plans to improve FTUE were already brought up in the past, but approximately speaking: how much of a priority is improving FTUE? One of the things from APB's past which I would actually say was a good idea is the Refer-a-Friend system... on a conceptual level. Its implementation left a lot to be desired, owing largely to the fact that the actual invited players saw no profit from the system and the inviter got to reap the full benefits, including some really good items to get as account-bound. Would LO be willing to reintroduce the Refer-a-Friend system in some shape or form at some point? Otherwise, are there any plans to encourage or incentivize players to recommend the game to others? The interface of the game is honestly a bit dated in various ways. Besides having mechanical issues (the UI running on both Scaleform and Kismet being probably the biggest one, but there's also the reliance on non-descriptive bars instead of exact values) I think it's also showing its age visually and aesthetically. Are there any plans to modernize or otherwise update the game's user interface? I think that's it from me. Looking forward to the Q&A!

EVENT ENDED Event powered by Wave Lounge ! A new type of clan made to preserve citadel's community, and unite them ! learn more here. Hey, Ketog from Wave Lounge here, (yep we still exist), it's been a little while since we had some activity, and with the start of the new year i thought i'd add some spice to it myself but with a fun little twist, a contest, but for nerds, what do i mean by that ? Well you're the judge: The Hypermetrics Contest This event is pretty simple and straight forward, it's how we do it at Wave Lounge, the goal you might ask ? right, get the highest possible FPS in APB, that's it, that's the event, yup. All you have to do to win is reach the highest possible FPS in APB with a few rules: 1) You must provide a complete screenshot of your game with performance metrics (any overlay of your choice) 2) You must be in an online district (yes social and fightclub are districts), that means no login screen trickery The rules are subject to change if some player finds a loophole, so we take the right to change the contest's rules to keep it fair, and give the win to the player that actually deserves it. The event will run from the date of which this post is published, up to the 8th January 2024 What can i win and how do i participate ? This event is happening on Citadel, however feel free to participate if you are not on citadel, i just won't be able to provide a prize for you to win. The winner with the highest FPS score will get the following: 1) 1 000 069 APB$ 2) Showstopper 'Thunder' 3) box of Exfluencis© 4) a special Legendary Donut The prize might increase as we get sponsors from other clans and/or donations from players, If you wish to donate to the cash prize, please message me on this forum or on discord @Liarus If you wish to participate, you will have to either join our discord and submit your screenshot in the submissions channel or DM me said submission (@Liarus), for me to take it into account, your submission will then appear on the leaderboard, in case you win, but do not want the prize, you can decide to give it to the best score after you, and if that player also doesn't want it, it goes on until we find a player that wants it. As an extra little note, I'm planning on running this little contest every end of the year, it would be quite a fun way to gather performance metrics related to APB over time. Have fun tweaking, breaking, experimenting with APB, there is no other rules other than what's currently listed, however stay up to date with this post for the latest news!

Strictly personal? What is that?? Just admit someone screwed up and banned my account for no reason. For EAC/support/moderators to say I'm using some third party tool, not show any evidence, and then effectively tell me to shut up? Nobody from support, moderators, or Matt has done one thing to help me out. A player for years that has not hacked. Thanks for nothing. Absolutely pathetic.

Yo guys wassup, I'm old school member of games first, use to play war rock from 2009. Just seen they no longer host War rock. Is there away to transfer my account to Papaya??? Real g's know about MKSTARH/WHIISPERZ/MKAY09.

An update to the hacker issue. They have finally recovered my stolen weapons but I guess are not aloud to tell me who stole from my account and what actions have been taken apparently. But Im having issues with opening the the attachments they send me in my mail to restore lost items, Im getting error code 740009 everytime I try to open them and then the attachment disappears and no weapon in my inventory

I don't know what to do. I'm new here now, but I tried the game way back. Sorry if this isn't formatted correctly or something. I wanted certain cosmetics so I put a few bucks into g1c points or whatever. When I go to actually buy anything with them it just says "Your account is not active" with seemingly no way to actually spend the credits I payed money for. Even though I just added credits to my account. Even though I've been playing the game. I tried to validate my email in case that's the problem, but it never sends a validation email, even though they'll send me emails for other things. It's the correct email. When I try to contact support, when selecting APB at the support screen, all it does is refresh the page. Nothing happens. I can't contact support for some reason. I've tried on multiple computers and laptops now. I don't know what to do. I feel like they just stole my money.

Unfortunately that didn't help either, I even made a very simple password to eliminate the possibility of error, but the system still says my password or email is wrong. Support has been silent for 4 days, I've written three more emails to them but they don't reply. I think that I will not get access to my account anymore and it is very frustrating because I invested real money there and I have many memories with it. I will not create a new account because I don't want to go all the way back. I cared a lot about my character and I certainly won't be able to create the exact same one. It's a shame GamersFirst doesn't care about their players, the game is almost dead and they are making it even harder for old players to come back. Thank you for the tips!

Supports help is like getting rammed in the rear by a 2 ton bull. In all honesty it's more then likey screwed as support has a "who gives a shit" approach to handling everything around here, I'm shocked that they didn't out right threaten to ban you for account stealing

in this type of situation i will reset my password, But i use one finger and word and write down each letter as i go and make sure not to hit space afterwords. That way i can ensure the password is right If that does not work my only guess is they locked the account for what ever reason. Support is ran by a bunch of children who have a "high and mighty" attitude when approaching anything

Way too late. I had moved my account to Nexon, but then missed the date to move it to Papaya. I don't recommend playing it now. The netcode was switched from peer to peer, to peer to server. There's no more kill trading, and hit registration is god awful. I loved the p2p netcode because when you killed the other player and you didn't die, it meant you reacted first on both your screen and your opponents screen. They removed kill trading. Now close gunfights comes down to who the server decides to favor.

My weak opinion but really Dont get mad with Azuki, compared to a lot forums, academic included -.- , he/she(?) is a gem of a moderator with a lot of patience and common sense... the fact this post is still here and not fulminate removed togheter with your account and others complaining means something Noted what happened to others but also myself , The only times when my post or threads get cancelled happen when only casually when one or more SPCT get quite colorful riduculed while defending LO.. yep casually, we've already know LO doesnt care and doesnt read the forum as much they dont care and know the Client support sucks, so we can assume they go C R Y to Azuki for take actions, otherwise for real Azuki let them cook for well as much deserved/ right. YEA Indeed, the culpript call in cause himself ...

Taking as valid the point highlighted by Frosi, that good players who play frequently are unfairly accused of being cheaters just because they are good or because they are "in the right place at the right time": We need to think of a way to end this. After all, no one likes to be unfairly accused of being a cheater after spending so many hours of their life dedicating themselves to a game and improving their skills, right? Frosi himself, who admits he is not a cheater, is unfairly accused just for being good and getting into matches with players who are below his level and end up being humiliated for his skill and, as an escape valve, for not assuming that they are not as good as Frosi, they falsely accuse him and many others. We need to think of a way to put an end to this. After all, no one likes to be unfairly accused of being a cheater after spending so many hours of their life dedicating themselves to a game and improving their skills, right? Well, an interesting way to deal with this is to fix the matchmaking system where players who have the same level (Rank) will play against each other. Therefore, bronze plays with Bronze, Silver with Silver and so on. This will mitigate complaints from guys who accuse other players who are better than them of being cheaters. In the end, if you put players on the same level to play together, the accusation of being a cheater will have less value than putting a guy who has just created an account/character to face a guy who has been playing every day since 2011. But let's be honest, a guy who is very good and plays every day doesn't want to play against others at the same level as him. Well, it's easier for Gold to fall into a room full of bronze, wipe the floor with their faces, come out full of rewards and improve their K/D ratio. It is worth remembering that people with this mentality, combined with the constant number of cheaters as mentioned by Y2Venom: It has been causing exactly what Y2Venom himself said: In other words, because these players (I'm not saying this is your case, Frosi) are in a comfort zone, massacring noobs and earning lots of rewards, which is why they have made the game reach the levels it is at today: With high-level players dedicating most of their time to playing (there's nothing wrong with this), cheaters having to resort to various dishonest ways of grinding, and having fewer and fewer new players because all newbies realize that they will either need to stop living their lives to live in function of the game to become good or they will have to use suspicious programs to be able to have a minimum amount of fun. Therefore, speaking for myself, I don't want this great game to have only Cheaters, as said by Y2Venom, nor only with pro-players like Frosi. I'm a casual player, I don't have contidions to dedicate 8-12 hours a day playing to get to the point where I become so good to the point to be falsely accused of being a cheater, nor do I want to be forced to use a hack because the server it only has these two extremes. I understand the points highlighted by everyone, but in the end, a balancing system in the matches, which pits proplayers vs proplayers and noobs vs noobs (which is my case) will solve both things: Make it easier to detect Cheaters: After all, no cheater will stay in Bronze forever. Every cheater will have a completely artificial rank increase, apart from the other signs that can be monitored and have already been mentioned in this thread (Rate of fire with sidearms, hit rate, shooting accuracy, etc.). Make the game a little more friendly and attractive to novice players: Having newbies play against newbies will show noobs that they don't need to worry about facing a guy who is addicted to the game and therefore they will be able to play more calmly and enjoy the game more, thus reducing rage quits and the number of threads on forums claiming that the game is full of cheaters and totally unbalanced. I'm Brazilian, I remember that in 2013-2014 the game was popular here in Brazil, many people played it and there were several videos on YouTube talking about the game. However, currently, when searching for APB on YouTube in Brazil, more than half of the content will be YouTubers saying that it is not worth going back because the game is not friendly or balanced at all. The other part will be players who use cheats to gain an advantage. Despite being a casual player, I want to invest in the game by buying some cosmetics to "beautify" my character, but I feel unmotivated by the fact that I started playing again today and I've already fallen in about 4 matches against gold guys using bazookas and I couldn't fire a single shot while they have a hit rate of over 90%. Life is already too unfair, what's the point in keeping the game unfair? Isn’t the devs’ intention to bring fun and joy to users? I'm sorry for my English and if I extended too much. I end my text with the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi adapted for our scenario: It was said that you would destroy the cheaters, not strengthen them! Bring balance to the game, not leave it in darkness!

its all a big joke to pretend APB is not dead, to bait more players to spend real $$$ on armas marketplace. if they were serious about GMing they would get someone who actually knows how to do it, with experience and ability to make GM tools to totally BTFO the cheaters. but they aren't serious about it, mattscott's first action towards cheaters was to UNBAN THEIR ACCOUNTS THEY WERE CAUGHT CHEATING ON. the reason behind this was, there was a handful of silver players who got false-positived. instead of just unbanning those obviously legit players, he decided to let cheaters destroy the entire game for years. apb is a joke.

i have created twicth account, i sure follow it, speaked english i have not very good, but i wil like to speak directly with matt since we know game was not working as expected and i wish to help all posible to make this game addictive as it was created. sincerely i think version on "cd" would work very good. It was a game with rewards in 2009. In my opinion problem was insane and not asked to comunity updates than nobody wanted. I just want ask matt if played version cd to compare actual version. i mean this https://www.amazon.es/Pqube-Fallen-Earth-PC-CD/dp/B004CYE4NE thanks in advance!! My questions: any approximate date for the remake of the game? (It is the star question that everyone asks) if the game is finally re-released, will it be this current version (giant) or are you planning to re-release it from an earlier point? Knowing that your Matt, have you experienced this game as a player, what did you think of the game itself? Did you try the previous and classic version of the game, to compare? In my opinion, Matt, I think you like the immersion of the player in the game, there is really nothing like this game on Steam or any other platform in my opinion, the fault in my opinion is the errors that the previous company left you, They never looked for the player in the updates, in fact you can look at the old forum and see their opinions. The game was very complete, addictive and easy to get to until it took the first turn with an update called gore, which the game could barely support, I tell you that there was a rifle from that expansion that did a single hit of 800 of damage (if you had a character build with maximum power among other things), from there they made modifications without stopping and continued expanding with more things that led the game to the disaster that it is now, a simpler, less addictive and less attractive game . Thanks for reading my opinion. Addding: Since it is a special occasion and Matt will read this, my suggestion is this: Since currently the problem of duplicates is not resolved, then put map 1 and perhaps map 2, both are works of art, they have their small pvp areas and it wouldn't really hurt the game in the future if the duplicate problem is not resolved, since the materials are worthless for high levels. In addition, the game with a map or two would only include people in a map and forces them to see each other (you see more people, which attracts more new players, the first impression is very important), in addition, this game is oriented towards manufacturing objects (weapons, clothing, medicine and so on) it would make it more fun for people to sell more in the audition by helping new players until they get the hang of the game, honestly when I played the game for the first time in 2011 I didn't even know how to make objects , I bought everything in audition and sold everything I got with the NPCs until I picked up the crafting thread, which is extremely addictive and fun. The game itself is about taking a mission, going to the point, doing the mission and collecting a reward, that is the basis. Then you realize, over time, that there are countless fun things like crafting, finding objects that fall on special enemies, missions that carry their story since some give new ones, hidden missions on the map and the most more, the pvp (here I talk about the areas on the map and bloodsports (the flag game was the most fun and the only one I played) playing gave special points to buy special equipment for pvp.) In summary, my opinion is that by putting one or two maps and a level cap of 20 or 35 depending on the case of one or two maps, surrounding them with lethal radiation or launching the game as it is on the CD (you will see, Matt, that there are even abilities that change from what there is now to the CD version and they did this in the past because the new thing they added destroyed the game and its playability). All this is a personal opinion, and I have to tell you that I did all the missions in the game, I did all the crafting, I found all the mysterious objects and I did PvP to a large extent, I was always involved in almost all the battles, making PvP active with my friends, who by the way I have met in the game. nothing more to say, thank you very much for reading this bible if you have read it and greetings from someone who really always loves the game and is always willing to help.

Like I said in the previous test thread. I can run this test with a single workstation. Run as many VMs as you want. Run them all in linux. We're not testing cross district matchmaking, we're not testing game performance, so no need to test with real players. Also, most people's test accounts are going to have the wrong threat applied. No one is going to play enough missions on the test server to equalize their threat. Even then, there's no way for players to compare the existing system to this new one, because we can't see the real threat value, only a solid color. And your forum editor is still broken. It decided to randomly post my comment while I was in the middle of typing. Maybe I accidentally hit Enter, but I doubt it since this keyboard requires 70g of force to press a key. Game runs like crap since the 11/8/23 EAC update. I have a W3680. Friends have between 7th Gen i7 to 13th gen i5. All of us experience the same low fps during missions. It's not nessessarily just low fps, it's choppy. 80fps feels like 30 or lower when the fps drop happens. For my PC, I don't know if it's Epic Online Services or Windows 10 causing the issue, but for my friends they had 10 prior and didn't have as many fps drops before the update. I couldn't stay connected to EU Financial but EU Waterfrontran fine. One friend kept DC'ing on US servers, depsite having 10ms to US West and less than 90ms to US East. I've had multiple people complain about hitreg in /w and on discord. The one guy was screaming about his shots not hitting me, then all of a sudden I see him peak the corner and min ttk me, as if the server was running seconds behind.

No fun allowed. Enjoy having no counter play when someone decides to run in the final segment. And if your response is "better designed missions" you missed that window by 10+ years. I don't care how jank it looks, I enjoyed nuking babies with a DMR that think they're safe in their sports cars. You can hardly do anything fun in game anymore since its been neutered to hell and back. We can't even launch ourselves onto roof tops any more outside of missions because they implemented the out of bounds function.

Well, I did a support 2 months ago but like you said you did not see any problem. I'll try to explain what happened. One day I logged into my account and my weapon was gone, as I had bought for account, every time I create a new char, it goes to the email. After playing for inventory, the weapon simply disappears. Sorry for my english, I dont speak very well. I don't know when they come back, but I hope soon because I want my oca nano back.

There's probably some weird thing that the account of all those that should have gotten it, but didn't, have in common. Now it's just a matter of waiting until they find what that is.
