Excalibur! 207 Posted June 25, 2018 1 minute ago, AJ Malloy said: I'm creating excuses for what? If being a silver in a silver district requires excuses, then yes ... I do create excuses, I merely wanted to describe to you how many people feel and that saying "learn to play" doesn't solve all problems. Gold players should not forget they are playing in the district s that are meant to be reserved for the silver population. Their behavior there sadly is like them being invited to someone's house and than laying their feet on the owners couch while still wearing their dirty shoes. I don't mind golds joining the silver districts, but they should respect the people the districts are meant for. On this note, I hope Little Orbit will be able to alter the system vin a way that these discussions will become a thing of the past soon I already explained that gold is much easier to get now. Probably those golds you see are top silvers and you would face them anyways in a proper threat system and matchmaking. Gold been killed, they removed the incentive to players to keep playing and feel rewarded for their skills, effort and time spent. Cheaters helped to it. When i was actively playing the group leader would allways suggest to move to another server or even to silver (even with the punishment for not playing your own server). Now explain me how is going to bronze server with the excuse "gold come to silver" any better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it's not fun if you know you will loose as soon as the mission starts, because your opposition is 10 times better than you. I don't know how the situation in bronze districts really because I never go there, as I just play with friends and they mostly happen to be golds, but seeing the constant complains about people seemingly belonging in neither district shows that there are issues that need to be looked at.

Hopefully once BE is running full bore, you will see a lot less cheating. Kudos to you for deciding to stick to silver districts, I remember all too well how difficult the transition from bronze to silver can be. I wish I had more advice to give you, but at least until BE is ready, all you can really do is turn of chat, and focus on you. Best of luck my guy. Ty for the Kudos, I just wish there was anything at all I could learn from the scenario of walking around a corner and dieing in the blink of an eye before even getting to fire a single bullet. Over the years I have acumilated a couple of thousand hours, but I could play these guys for 10 thousand hours and learn nothing, simply put there is nothing to be learned from being insta killed with no chance to fight back. 3 hours ago, Excalibur! said: I am not sure why you are simphatizing with these kind of players. They are in bronze and they "destroy" enemies "9 out of 10" games, they are in silver and they cry... they dont seem to care that they are punishing low players the same way they get rekt in silver because they refuse to learn to play and they dont care at all but for their feelings. Isnt it hypocritical? They are the real problem, not the rest of players. He is "sympathizing" with me because the games matchmaking has been broke for years, I shouldnt be fighting bronzes and low silvers, but at the same time I shouldnt be forced to play wanna be pro's every single day. I mean basically I dont have any fun stomping newbies and I dont get any fun from being stomped, hence... you know actually go read my op yees hI shouldnt even have to say all this. 3 hours ago, Excalibur! said: Honest question here: what would you do if threat didnt exist and you would be set against very skilled players all the time? What would be your excuse for not learning to play? If there was no threat system my play wouldnt change at all, it would still be a cancer cesspool as it has been for years now, the only people you would be penalizing would be the bronzes that now have to fight your wanna be pros too and finnaly maybe they would see why so many people in my position dont wanna play silver dis gaining a new apreciation. 2 hours ago, BXNNXD said: hes saying the silvers are doing the same thing to bronzes that they complain the golds do to them i know his grasp on human communication is tenuous at best but its still pretty easy to wade through here The issue is I cant find people similar skill level to myself on silver dis, all I can find is wanna be pro's and hackers. Some of the hardest, best and most fun matchs I have had have been on Bronze dis against fellow players like myself stuck in the midrift.

Frankly thats the way of the world, you cant expect people to be mooshed into the ground with no hope and simply stick to it wasting all happy leasure time just because cancerous people told them not to go bronze dis where they might have a chance of fighting someone there own skill level. 1 hour ago, Excalibur! said: You are forgeting the other option, depending more on your team.

I may or may not have reeched my personal skill cap ether way thats a moot point. I cant simply go out and find peopleto play with when the APB comunity is so cancerous finding nice people is more dificault then beating hackers lol. In essence asking a player to get passed that skill freshold in the games current state is like asking a wild salmon to survive the next 5 years in sewer water, then when it dies due to toxic shock or whatever other issue you shout at the fish "stupid fish learn to survive in sewer water ffs you noob". In a college for instanace, if you want your students to flurish, thrive and learn you have to give them ample opertunity and make as many paths as possible to do so, you cant take a child that doesnt know what numbers are and ask them the awnser to 2+2. Its the equivelant to shouting louder at a foreign person hoping they will understand you better... shouting doesnt make them understand english, it just makes you look like a giant prick and makes them hate english people.
