Seedy 324 Posted June 24, 2018 Annoying I don’t mind that people are better than me. That’s life.. why do golds play in bronze district though. Then once the man ch is over they slag you up for being not as good as them.. i play lay alone all the time and I am pretty rap at apb so I’m bronze just now. Just played against a team of golds.. it’s a mess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayori 311 Posted June 24, 2018 You mean "fake golds". Just high-tier silvers. A good band-aid solution would be to add 1-2 tiers between silver and gold to place those players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ch0c_ 2 Posted June 24, 2018 either way its annoying and helps push away new and returning players. almost needs a rank limit on districts. eg. if rank is over 150 you cannot join a bronze server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't solve it if you don't go for the culprit. And then people dethreat to escape from the cheatfest in silver because battleye is doing nothing atm. I was on jericho today, no people in silver financial. What do you do? Go in silver WF and dethreat so you can rank up in finacial.

CookiePuss 5379 Posted June 24, 2018 Threat is going to be reworked to make it harder to dethreat. In the meantime, if you have video or photographic proof of intentional dethreating, send it to support. Lixil has said this is the kind of thing that LO may give temp bans for, so long as the evidence is sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ch0c_ 2 Posted June 24, 2018 r255 bronzes have more game knowledge than trainees and most silvers, thats a big game changer. I have never seen a real bronze r255 though, only dethreaters and plenty of them. I never said this was the major fix thats needed. i just said it almost needs something like this in place. Why this method? you cant de-rank, only de-threat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

False if that rank 255 bronze had knowledge enough to make a difference they would not be bronze. It is insanely hard to stay bronze in this game, Even in bronze district. The DTing golds that come to bronze to troll are an issue and can be reported if you have any proof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really. I got no problem losing. But when it's a massive wall (Huge difference between High Silver and Mid Gold), and I am dying constantly 50m out from the objective... It's like bashing your head against a concrete wall, and expecting your head to break through. It ain't gonna happen. So then, I am forced to either queue up for an endless string of losing missions, or... Go to a District that houses new players. And still lose missions. Cause I ain't farming Bronzies. I am looking for the Silvers. So... That's why Silvers are in Bronze. Because instead of CONSTANTLY losing with no hope of a win, we are searching for other Silvers that know how to play the game.

PitterPatter 139 Posted June 24, 2018 5 hours ago, ByeBye said: Rank doesn't equal Threat. Jesus the mentality behind this with the community here is hilarious. Yeah it doesn't. But map knowledge, mechanic knowledge, advantage giving gear and mods give you a massive advantage over new players. Doesn't matter if a modless person with a STAR can kill you if you're geared. Bad players with gear shouldn't be playing against new players what so ever. If you're bad you deserve to lose. I'd rather veteran bad players get pooped on by good players than let bad players think they're good because they are allowed to hide behind that scapegoat BS "rank doesn't = threat".

If you're 255 and bronze you either need to suck it up and play with the big boys or find a new game. You shouldn't be given your own little personal stomping ground just because you're bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5379 Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) There is nothing wrong with having fluctuating threat. There is something wrong with INTENTIONALLY lowering your threat. If you go back and forth bewteen silver and bronze districts naturally, thats totally fine. If you in any way purposefully do poorly in matches in order to lose threat you can and should be punished. Its really not that complicated. Edited June 24, 2018 by CookiePuss 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alani 475 Posted June 25, 2018 Dethreating is not necessary at all. You people are being matched because your dumbasses go to bronze district, kill and kill until you are gold. Then when you quit the game, you log into the silver district and get your asses handed to you because according to the system you are at the level of everyone else. Until you lose a bunch of missions, you will be matched with people of your skill level. It happens to me all the time and I only play in silver. I get matched up against people who are either at my level or better. When I lose 3 missions to people who are better than me, match making hits me with someone either far below my skill level due to how bad I played, or someone of my equal skill. The people who sit in bronze and then go to silver and become matched against people like me, are not due to matchmaking at fault. It is due to you being placed in a higher skill level and match making is assuming you are skilled due to how you stomped on everyone in bronze. Match making is bad in the game, but it is not that bad. It just needs to be tweaked better and maybe account for the people who farm in bronze and think they're bad at the game when they're just refusing to get better.
