Reprimand 98 Posted April 21, 2021 because I'm exhausted and I'm tired of high level golds dethreating and coming to bronze to steamroll low level players. Yesterday another player and myself had to play against two less-than-lethal OGPL users players who bhopped in tandem and fired at us from over 80m away then shot us to death. Why are there no rank ceilings for servers? Why can a player who is rank 200 and above come to a beginner server and macro everybody to death? The FBW is a really balanced weapon, but when these guys use it it's just like they have a whole second primary, don't get me started on the OCA Nano also how do I beat the OCA primary? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nagletz 215 Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) Did anybody mention that most of gold players play on bronze? Just compare them with golds in gold/silver server back in 2013-14 and you'll see no difference. Today, most of golds are nothing more like rampant config, macro, tbot and even worse kinds of software users. And fair players have nothing to do except playing on bronze server. But even there is no happy place for them. About OPGL... cancer weapon, nuff said. Edited April 21, 2021 by Nagletz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problemo we will remove everybody who is max rank out of there, you included I've been playing (off and on) since 2012. I haven't played regularly since 2 years ago. Occasionally I log into bronze myself... as a bronze/silver only to insta die in lame mismatched matches and log off for another few months. He's probably someone like me. Seriously I log in... it's me, an AFK trainee who never shows (I'm sure it's a deliberate exploit by op teams), a low bronze,,, versus 3 max rank SILVERS using full legendaries that steam roll the one poor bronze because I refuse to play and then log off. I mean, how the fk does anyone expect NEW players, let alone casuals to stick around when there isn't even an actual BRONZE district for them to get good in? Bronze district for a long time, has meant fish in a pond for folks with bazookas to blow up for kvd ratio and joker tickets to farm guns... while the new/casuals play the endless DIE game and quit.

ALL I SEE IS WHINING AND CRYING! We know the matchmaking is poor and it gets worst when the population is low, you think it's an easy fixed for LO? Maybe we should just put you only against new players who are under R40 because you are just bad at the game and never bothered to improve. Pretty selfish don't you think? and those dethreating are the same selfish and shallow. APB uses an asymmetric matchmaking system which puts you against players who are ready to play available base on who's in the district, this is the fastest way in getting a game. Since the player pool is mix with different skill level, there is a poor ratio chance in skill balance between players in matchmaking which LO cannot control in a 40/40 district, which may change in the future. I'm not sure how bronze district is like but NA bronze population is dead, so this is happening in EU? I assume you have 2 bronze district full peak time which is pretty dam good IMO for growth of new players. Even though you may have a chance versing a de theater, that player is literally the same as you who cry about matchmaking / cheaters / exploiters etc, on the silver district get 'WTFpawned' as you describe, by group golds or individual gold players, so they came to bronze for a fair match. But the difference is that they are well geared and had more experience, but still bad at the game when facing actual golds. which I believe the only way to stop dethreating is to disable players that are R100 from entering bronze/silver district, which I doubt these players would like that idea. These days people just don't even want to improve in a game anymore and are lazy even though they have the time to do so you can still be casual and progress your journey in improving which this game is all about. By R100 an average player should know how to play the game and the mechanics. the bronze district is meant to be a starting ground for new breed of new players who can face other new players and learn about the game, which should be easily to achieve silver or gold. who knows maybe there are players with at least 300+ hours that are just incapable and incompetent and are still the same since day one. There are players out there who play on high ping that are gold and players who came back from long breaks that are gold, so these excuses are not justified you just want an easy game so you don't have to put effort into the game like everyone else does. If you don't enjoy the game I would suggest you quit maybe APB is not for you, but there are new players out there who struggle and would progress quicker than others and those who do enjoy the game and have a better experience. Every player has room to improve you just have to get into that mental state and realize you are trash but also tell yourself you are going to be the best. You know the best way in improving the game is actually playing against better players? ye it's uneven matchmaking but you can at least try? you may die but observe how they kill you and what you can do next time. Those players who dethreat are normally not good players anyways keep that in mind even if they have legendary and explosive.

Deadliest 385 Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, R3ACT3M said: Id like proof of this statement. First of all this game is 18+ adult probably have some experience in shooters so 60-80 hours playing the game is enough to see how missions are played and choosing a weapon to main, whereas some probably be their first game and it may take time to adapt to mouse and keyboard. I've seen new players quickly learn the game and improved on my server and progress to 255 gold. So idk what's the problem it's either the bronze players are filled with kids with their crappy home pc, struggling to play with a minimal of 30fps or adults with 500+ hours playing on a crappy pc with wifi internet and barely getting to silver? so who's fault is it? LO? you cannot fix stupid, they choose to play with poor experience which can be easily fix if they weren't that dumb and invest on better computer hardware, peripherals + internet so they could improve in their game experience making it more enjoyable even if you are just a casual gamer. It's obviously the new players who have experience in shooters would likely versus those kids with their crappy PC and get to silver or gold with ease, those players will tend to end up playing on the silver districts with the golds soon. Now if someone who's R255 has no idea what they doing but enjoying the game the way he/she plays I don't care tbh. tko never complained I guess his the best bronze player.

"just upgrade your pc lol" CPU/motherboard/Ram that can run APB at 120+ fps, you can get under $200 US prices. Most expensive part will be the GPU. Still, a GTX 650 Ti ($100) is good enough if you don't mind using the advanced launcher. If I couldn't afford that, I would put effort into finding a better job and reducing my living cost, rather than grind my APB characters to max rank. If they're a young kid I understand though. It was difficult for me to get high end hardware then, I ended up splitting my upgrades across b-days and holidays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL. you think making a post to complain is going to make LO release the engine and fix everything thats wrong with this game faster?? as they and many others have said this game is going to take a while to fix because Gamersfirst messed it up so badly, so making post after post about everything wrong with the game is just annoying for them and everyone else. Wait for the engine like everyone else or just leave the fucking game. No one is forcing you to play apb. if you thinks its so bad dont play it. everyone that is complaining about this game being so bad is the same people that play this game 24/7, YOU are choosing to still play the game so stop complaining about it.
