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?

I wouldn't call APB neither casual not hardcore. It surely has a more competitive attitude than a casual game, but also a lot of social aspects. There are many players who are just playing to have a good time. I'm not really into competitive gameplay, but I enjoy just hanging around, meeting new people and playing with friends.

apb is def not hard core lmao

 

 

and while winning might not be a casual player's #1 concern its also not really fun to just get stomped into the ground every mission

 

 

not saying its okay to turn around and do the same thing to bronze players, but its understandable

You know that point where apb got really bad, lowest pop, cheaters etc... i had a friend that we would enjoy facing cheaters and try to defeat them. We would lose most of the games, others would win... it was our enjoyment to mock cheaters for losing lol.

 

So if we could enjoy apb in that state even losing, or hving really challenging games... why cant they do the same? It seems that they only find enjoyment into stomping and thats why they complain when they get a challnging adversary... because there are some brave silvers playing silver districts and i witnessed it.

 

And yes apb can be really hardcore at times... for some players may be aswell.

Thats why i proposed something like this:

and no more problems... action would be used to gain colour threat, they could add more colours

I don't mind a challenge, in fact I do welcome missions that can have an outcome that is close to call. 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.

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.

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.

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.

I know the theory yes, but I think my situational awareness isn't as good as it used to be and my aiming never was the best. That's why I normally end up loosing against the "pro" players that rarely miss their shots. Just because all of this seems natural and easy to you, doesn't mean it'slike that for everyone.

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.

It feels like we mist the boat that already sailed years gone bye to the promised semi pro land lol, back in the days when the game was young and there was less hackers players had the opertunity to learn and progress past this point because your wanna be pros simply didnt exhist back then.

The gold vets moan at players like me saying stuff like Git Gud and learn to play, but since they never started playing the game in its current state and learned all there skills before it became its cesspool self back then that would have been good advice but it is frankly no longer relevent.

Not everyone is a mental masochist that likes to be stomped all day to play the RNG game of winning vs a hacker.

The thing is some people do play games to push themselves and still cant get into APB because there is no real lane of progression to be had once you reach the mid point of the skill track.

You completely missed the entire point. the point is hackers or no hackers, every legit player was not a pro because at that point your pros didnt exhist. so when fighting legit people they had all the ample opertunity to become better, but now the skill desperity between the vet player and  the new up and comming player is so vast that there is no hope of learning or progressing. 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.
