Awful funny I seen him in district last night, or someone with the same name as above. Just my two cents. Seen him at Troll Gas in WF, and I remember him being a Silver in a Vegas. n I wont say anything more of what I saw because it would fall under the name shaming rules.

What in the nomenclature is this?? A re-roll isn't necessarily a cheater it's someone who max out the levels and start all over again so eg. You max out pick up a star556 and trashing everyone who you can and automatically you being called a cheater who low rank. I do it when I use to play this game often now I just mostly lurk on forum back when bloom was present because you learn something new everytime and you need to learn the game one account or character isn't going to cut it you need more than that. With that said hope it's more clear.

Make it a 3 slot for 2,999 G1C (account bound) and I'll actually buy it.

It's a one slot csg for close to 25$ for an account bound version and 20$ for a character version. Why would anyone want to buy this, most people are just going to put IR3 on it anyways? Seriously 1 open slot for 20$ when you can buy a version of the CSG that has the mods people will put on that gun for half that price. If it were a 3 slot csg for 20$ then maybe to someone it would be worth it. But for 90% of your player base 1 open slot does not justify 20$

Do you remember the experience of trying a video game for the first time: A wave of excitement and happiness as you traversed a pixelated world brought to you by unsung hero developers of your childhood? Go with us down memory lane as we celebrate this September week in honor of all game developers and their creations. From the 11th of September, 9 AM UTC, to the 20th of September, 9 AM UTC, we are hosting a special sale with discounts on select Account Lifetime weapons and Joker Tickets. The sale will also introduce a new variant of a beloved weapon. Musings from the waterfront… The CSA has repossessed a weapons storage garage - rumored to belong to the leader of the Blood Roses… The weapons were held for auction, and the ARMAS Marketplace was the highest bidder. One of the weapons found was that of a Colby CSG-20, which seemed to be altered in a way that allowed for a single modification. Through reverse engineering in coordination with Redhill, the ARMAS Marketplace was able to make a replica of the weapon - though the weapon is expensive to make, and their partnership with Redhill has stipulations on the contract’s length. For a limited time, you can reap the rewards of their efforts, and the “Colby CSG-20 Mk2” is now available for the duration of the sale! Additionally, the ARMAS Marketplace has also discounted select Account Lifetime weapons and purchases of Joker Tickets, so don't miss this amazing limited-time offer.

I felt silly so I tried to log in to FE using my old account from back before the original shutdown... it brings me to a different login screen, with an "offline" thing just below the password field. Trying to log in again results in a crash. No surprise that my old account won't work, but is there any way to reset/delete it so I can use that email account to create an account I can use today?

Well, because the GM's have 'Impeached the Credibility of their Honor' I too have seen people that are blatantly teleporting, while talking smack in chat about everything from LO to Bronze players, and nobody said nothing to him. I have also witnessed GM's talking 'smack' in chat or what you would call 'light banter or chiding Legit players like me, while joking around with the same people that spend their Day in chat insulting players, and or standing in a group with people with names like 'EACbyPass' or they will have the clan name cheater or hacker. But they come in as a GM group and all chase Mack around. So Mack likes to hacusate, I understand the rule and why. What I don't understand is how my hacusating is worse to general moral than the hacker or the guy with hacker written into his name, nor can i see justification in employing so many gms just to stop a couple hacusators, instead of using those resources toward catching toxics and hackers. And due to their demeanor towards Legit players and things they do to Legits with flare guns, and their conversing with known hackers and general chat toxics as if they were Buddy's; I pretty much consider them either the cheaters Alt's or Friends of the cheaters at worst, at best I consider it an effort to 'Cover-Up' the hacking problem by Cancel Culture, for reasons of New Player Retention, off-site reviews, ect. No it has become a personal vendetta to ban mack by the gm's, and it has become My personal agenda to bring them to Justice, knowing Matt is either missing and not controlling the gm's and or he is behind ordering them to find a way to ban me, I know No Justice will come of this. So I Don't report because I will get trolled by every hack in the city that lost his account not for hacking but for 'mouth running'. and if I do report the gm's all come out n follow you around and nitpick at every word said. So You see I see them as all the same evil entity, the hackers, Matt, GMs, Trolls ect. All the same people to me. So Whats Mack gonna do about it? Well Mack is going to Silence all of APB by chat filter, I'm not chasing tickets anymore and when I do come I'll do for the 'In-Game Kills of those I consider Evil' ( ya I have to say IN-Game now cuz the gm's said talking about kills could be used to ban me for making real life threats) Oh Its Like That Eh? OK its On then. You leave me no choice, I won't back down now, I'm in a corner n I'll Bite

From my interpretation, you can make a new account if you haven't been suspended. Many creators have multiple accounts for extra space to store music and symbols. You can also purchase character slots. G1 isn't stopping you. During the "overkill" server era, G1 gave out character slots when regional worlds were down. I got 7 or so character slots from that.

They don't enforce it. I know people who've traded accounts, then immediately had said account banned. Their mains were unaffected. There's lots of name trading too but people don't get banned for it.

I can only find that bit on suspended access. I don't see anything saying you can't have more than 1 account. However, I can see LO twisting their words to ban you for having multiple accounts, since they only say "account" and not "accounts" when referring to the end user's account.

I want to disagree with the nomenclature. A 'Re-Roll' is when someone pays for an extra character slot, or destroys the character they have, and starts over with a new name. Hence the term Re-roll, cuz they are Rolling up the levels again. Some of you may call this an 'ALT'. An Alt to me is an Alternate Account, which was legal at one time, as long as you didn't exploit or trade with yourself. I had an Alt account used to help with a beta test or something. Ive long forgotten the passwords. However back then I was temp banned by Matt like 3 days. and I used that extra account to mess around cuz i was bored, and someone who knew i was banned said they could then ban the second account if they knew. Again I forgot that account n only run one account with several slots. but this brings out a whole new can of worms. In the old days games would IP ban people, now with nordstrom or wtf ever ip roaming, this would be hard to do to a determined banned player. Then there is the concept that, well what if my brother, son, friend who lives in the same place wants to play, What if a whole family wants to play at once. So one breaks the rules n gets banned, now whats to stop that person from playing on say his Wife, or Son's account? p.s. thats if you believe anyone is getting banned anymore, my 2 cent's

It’s when a player gets banned and makes a new account in order to keep playing.

I say He's Hiding. Hasn't come to work since putting in the Super Excellent anticheat, that was bypassed by golds 12 hours later. They if there is a 'They' refuse to, can't or won't fix the joker voice. 'They won't fix MM or update about it. They won't upgrade the amount of joker tickets for jobs after letting Golds invade. You want me to 'Feed your 'Smooth Aim friends, You need to Pay. That said, I know full well They won't do a thing and have 0 expectations. Staff/GMs have Lost my respect. n I don't care if you ban me for hacusating, account don't matter cuz game don't matter, cuz full of hackers n foul mouthed punks.

sometimes it's just your bad luck, i have been banned before for a specific time at the Easter Bunny event, the reason was because i was blocking some people to reach roof to kill the cracker, which all done that xD and iam the only one who banned so try to request more tickets maybe your account will back

That's not true at all, cheats often use xbox gamebar, OBS, steam overlay, discord overlay, etc. for drawing on screen or if designed really poorly they can exploit there drivers for reading/writing to game memory. using any overlay will cause your account to receive a flag(EAC for instance flags ALL top-most overlays) and with enough flags the anti-cheat will ban you. Modern anti-cheats are a lot like anti-virus software using heuristic analysis which results in a lot of false positives.

give this man his account back

Overlays aren't inherently banable, I've been using HudSight as a crosshair overlay as the devs of the program specifically stated that its whitelisted by EAC, Matt has also stated in the past that THEY THEMSELVES as in Little Orbit will not stop you from using crosshair overlays aslong as you aren't editing gamefiles to get them as they know its a common feature request for the game and there's also nothing they can do to stop you from using monitor based crosshair overlays or even taping something on your screen. There's a russian overlay to design symbols that has been causing players to be banned by EAC and while those players are crying foul, the program itself lights up as malicious on like 40+ different antivirus scans on virustotal which would imply that the program does a lot more in the background than just draw an overlay on your screen which makes it shady as hell. Players are in charge of their own accounts, this also includes not running malicious software on your pc that hooks into the game and should therefore never run anything that isn't specifically stated to not cause conflicts with the Anti-cheat, also I am pretty sure the thing Matt said was not about overlays whatsoever and was also related to the reintroduction of BattlEye so it has NOTHING to do with EAC.

any sort of over lay is bannable with eac This seems to be the only thing it does is harass the designers. In a effort to stop crosshair overlays, but it still doesn't detect teleports, aimbots, or smooth aim. Which is why we wanted an anticheat, for combat hackers. Matt did tell us here on the forum to turn off our over lays, but not everyone reads the Forum. GIVE HIM HIS ACCOUNT BACK, THATS WRONG

I really don't get this delete account thing. Like, just don't play if you don't want to.

what a kind and trustworthy fellow i shall send you my banking info and all of my g1 accounts

like i always say. i'll come back and play FE and APB whne theres a real honest update. so by time i have kids a family and fully forgot about pc gaming i'll dust off my pc in 20xx log in here and see.... NOTHING CHANGED WOO and yes you can delete your account. support will be more then happy to help you with that as they have told me i should do just that

To be honest, as always, I'm surprised anything in this game is done at all ever. Games that have smaller playerbase and are over 10 years old rarely get significant updates, and APB code being APB code makes it far worse. But it has been case for APB for its whole lifetime about things being barely added and done. In last 5 or even up to 7-8 years, if i remember well, only things we've got were some important rebalances (which are essentially just value changes), 64 bit upgrade recently which granted was effective, 1 legendary weapon, few vanity clothes on armas not even the packs. Im not sure what anticheat has done, as i keep seeing cheaters, even blatant ones last night. I really wish FFbans was brought back so at least we know who got banned and got some relief... but devs looked at ffbans thing from different perspective. Thing about APB is there simply isn't a proper replacement game for it, nor there will ever be one thats attractive and playable similarly enough for APB veteran generation. Person who played the game for thousands of hours will always be attracted to APB one way or the other. You can't really do much at this point to change that, reshape the game in any way you want, and people will still come back once it gets significantly improved/changed. In my opinion, the value of APB is in the player's accounts, all the items and creations tied to them. You can mess around anything else, but if you can revert it, people will eventually come back. And it took years of not doing pretty much anything, and game's playerbase drops only by around 10 concurrent a month. If you take a look at player charts, lowest points were November / December 2022, and a game got x2 player boost after 64 bit update, so players will keep coming back regardless, as long as there is something new and improved. On other hand, gaming market for shooter games has been deeply stagnating in last 3-4 years as well, there hasnt been any groundbreaking game to take up the throne and set the new standards, everything was just trailblazing. Even though we've had few TPS releases, they are at this point competing to have the playerbase size of APB. Current trend is "extraction" shooters which is just an awful genre which only few games could theoretically pull off well and i cant understand why every dev is chasing towards it... anyhow i derailed too much As much as it gets you a few whiffs of hope as you read the roadmap lines, you have to accept is that its lucky even if 20% of it is done. I appreciate the criticism but it is just the way it has been for APB. And im sure that there is at least one dev putting his all into making the game work, but its not enough, and im not sure how to fix that? Make a kickstarter? Mass sales? Maybe in a few months, maybe a year, or who knows even 2 or 3, when EU reaches critically low playerbase they'll try their best to pull the last available strings, although FFA sale seemed like one last pull before matchmaking update, which is a big experiment. PS edit: Hypothetically speaking, game going open source is an interesting idea and experiment, as im not sure how it would work out. It could be a fun playground for a while if owners just let everyone have all the items instantly, but that would kind of get boring eventually. Biggest gripe with private servers especially for shooter game would be handling of cheaters, then the accounts, and keeping the game up to begin with. So while it might be a fun place to just play APB purely for APB and missions, considering you had enough players for that, progression would definitely suffer. I imagine it would look something like OTW currently, where there is everything available for free

Sense of rarity is definitely needed in games, its a goal for players to chase towards, if everything is readily available and easily accessible game loses an important element of progression and collecting. We could argue that there are multiplayer games without any rare items or progression, but those are few and irrelevant to this example, and APB wouldnt be standing here to this day if it were one. Every single game today runs off "artificial rarity". There are events and seasonal sales, in some games there are only few items available on sale everyday out of thousands skins in game, CSGO literally survived on lootboxes. All these 3 are false sense or rarity. There is no other reason to sell event only items only during events, . No one buys chirstmas outfit in middle of summer in real life sure, but in game why would you prevent others from doing that besides creating the sense of "rarity" and limited items. APB is the game that had lootboxes for over 10 years, now they just changed form to JT gambling, nothing has changed in practice. I guess by definition you would be renting an item with a chance to get a permanent version of weapon now, but it really is same. Reason why Ursus costs 5 million and Hazardous costs 500k is also artificial, based upon stats of guns which are controlled by devs. My point is, how do you create "real" rarity in a digital world where everything is just a variable. Every single game can just be adjusted by devs for all players to have all items. So every sense of rarity is false sense of rarity which is artificially created by developers. Them adding 5% chance for drop, gun stats, etc, all of it is artificially made. How do you create real sense of rarity in games? How would you reintroduce the FFA so it doesn't lose its value completely and ruin the value for owners already? FFA used to be the ultimate goal for money collecting, after 20ish million you kind of already have everything, especially if you dont care much about having custom items from other players, so the remaining thing to collect is FFA. Also, no one is forcing you to get FFA, if anything its easier to get now. What is getting exploited are people who love to gamble and people who owned FFAs prior for their items losing in value. For a person who genuinely wanted to get FFA to play with it, it costs around 10 million now, instead of 20-25, so its a positive change to them. This was an easy cashgrab, which reintroduced a famous weapon to be available to wider variety of players, and they went for it with minimal effort, and it worked out great in terms of earning money and getting the gun more widely available to players. I used to mind it at first because i got sold FFA because people had insider information about the event, but i think im over it now. What i wish is we got a new legendary instead (there are literally unused gun models still which could've been sold as fun and useful legendaries), big summer sale with 50% off items, or better summer event where we can actually earn some things, but i guess they needed money this time, since there havent been new things on sale for a while. Also, also, one of the examples of real predatory things in this game are faction locked packs, and no ability to buy account wide cars. Having to pay 20$ to get coywolf or vegas 4x4 per character instead of having like 25$ or 30$ account wide option is an example predatory practice.

Lmao I dont even have an account with the game anymore, so same as me. To remember the good times, and laugh at how stupid we were to believe in LO's fuckin savior-complex when they were just as predatory and greedy as G1, and how they're gonna go down the shitter just the same.
