gordoIsMyName 69 Posted July 1, 2019 the game itself rewards cheating. 'top guy' is nearly always tied to the most kills. if you didn't get so many points for simply killing someone, but actually performing tasks or whatever, a lot of the rewards for cheating goes away. the rewards come in with team play and working with others. when you continue to reward "bad behavior", all it does it create more of it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vsb 6131 Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) it doesnt really matter how kills are rewarded as long as killing opp is the most effective way to complete objectives - people can't attack/defend if they're in the respawn screen its just basic pvp shooter logic Edited July 1, 2019 by Glaciers typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little Orbit did not make the matchmaking and threat mechanics. it is one of the many things MattScott had said that he would like to work on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VickyFox 352 Posted July 1, 2019 There are some players in APB who just feel Kill Death ratio is all that matters and makes them feel all warm and fuzzy in the pants but this isn't Call of Duty. Either attacking, defending or capture and hold a objective, there are some who rather just go out and just kill other players because they can and doesn't help the team. At times you do need a brazen person to just distract and delay opponents but not when time is critical and you're on the back foot. 3 hours ago, Yood said: the game can't change people . what you in game , such you and in real life . That came across as broken English but I do somewhat agree with Yood, and I do understand where the OP is coming from. Unfortunately I have to believe that the play style is reflecting on the kind of person they are to a degree, rather just do their own thing to make themselve look big with a big result despite not achieving the actual object. Whatever makes their peen feel good with bragging right, each into their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UubeNubeh DaWog 136 Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) There is so much wrong here. For starters, killing someone requires a lot more effort than pressing F on an object or driving to a drop off. So there is a reason scoring a kill rewards a player so much. Even being generous here, usually a team will be sitting on top of an objective, causing you to kill them before you even hit the objective, so its kind of a moot point. The "rewards" for missions currently are already based on team work, the outcome of a mission is not based on one persons performance but your team as a whole and is the reason why the whole team is rewarded at the end. Based on what your saying if the rewards only catered to the "top guy" you would never see any rewards below them. Which currently is not true. Also, currently, what is the reward for cheating? You get to see the "Your team won" banner more often? There is no k/d tracking, no mission tracking (unless you manually track your missions per day). roles even have a cap and dont go past Rank 16. You can get weekly recaps for your playtime but again you have to manually track any kind of kd, as it just gives raw numbers for the week. The only stat tracking of any kind we have is overall kills per character. What stat or object would you point to as a status symbol in APB? How would that translate into an incentive to be "the top" guy and cheat? Lastly, you're assigning "bad behavior" to the BASICS of an FPS game, there is nothing wrong about being the "top guy" by getting the most kills in a game that revolves around guns and shooting others. Saying it is an incentive to cheat is ridiculous. Cheating populations are ALWAYS the minority, and we should not be changing game mechanics so that the majority of the population and you, feel better about losing.
