15th Anniversary Patch DELAY

[MageLO 269]

Hello everyone,

 

Unfortunately, the 15-Year Anniversary Patch needs to be delayed. We have encountered a small, last-minute technical hiccup that needs our full attention before we can launch.

 

To give our team the necessary time to resolve this, we'll be postponing our Weekly Maintenance to Friday, July 4th, at 9:00 AM UTC. This adjustment should allow us to deliver a smooth and celebratory experience with the new patch.

 

We truly appreciate your understanding and enthusiasm! We'll be sharing more updates and the highly anticipated patch notes very soon.

Gives me a chance to stream one last time and say farewell to the mechan.... Errr, I mean bug that is the instant vehicle entering.

APB's 'Golden Rules' are changing, wow. Never thought my guides would get 'outdated' at some points. (The weaponchanges were fine but one day I'll give them my full-on attention and then it is gonna get scary :P)

WHERE UPDATE!?!?!?!?

All Lies, There are still Golds in district so zero anti cheat, no bans. 

Ya don't even give decent ticket jobs to fight your gold cronies.

I don't have a thing nice to say to U LO

It's not that you can say; golds = cheaters, just to clarify.

 

Same logic you're using would be; clouds = rain

OK not all hackers and cheaters (exploiters) are Gold, and not all Golds are Hax.

But, due to the number of hax, who turn gold very quickly, the average score needed to turn gold 

is raised higher and higher. Making it impossible to gain gold in a legit fashion. 

So it's not a matter of winning X number of missions, it's a matter of out scoring those on your team, 

and beating the average in the Pool, that pool being all of NA, or EU if thats the world you play. 

Now this isn't just some hogwash I invented, its based on Maglo explaining why I had turned gold 

in otw in 2 missions. He said because the Pool is so small there compared to Live. 

 Since desegregation Matt has put golds as opp and put golds on your team. 

So with golds on your team you're not gonna out score them. 

I believe most are using smooth aim/aimbot, with a smaller portion using walls and speed ect.

So my beliefs are based on basic math, not on some bigotry toward gold players or jealousy.

I will say the gold color is an irritating color to the eye, specially if they are grouped together. 

 LO needs to recalibrate how threats are gained and lost, and put it in writing.

 As a silver I shouldn't have to beat the score of the average middle weight gold, i should only 

have to score as high or higher than the average silver. 

 You have to remember I came up during segregation from about 2015, and always played bronze dist. 

We were taught that golds were a bad thing, they would dethreat, get into bronze and hack us all day. 

turning gold along the way. So pardon me for hating them, but I was taught to. 

I see them as thieves trying to steal the game away from legit players, I also see them or any hacker/cheat 

as real life criminals, because I see it as Wire Fraud, although there is no element of money, they are still stealing 

my enjoyment of the game and my Thunder, and doing it by-Wire.

Wasn't exactly taught, especially when most of us had to fight against mostly mid-high golds (or with)  since bronze dist. barely had anyone back in 2021

 

only remember one gold teammate who chatted with me that didn't turn out to be a d*ck, at the same time we were moving like Kobe and Shaq against one closeted crim from that time

no

 

The matchmaking pool is the amount of players available to join a mission. The smaller the pool is, the less likely you are to be matched against equally skilled players. Since you are generally silver at best, you were likely put up against higher threat players - when the system does this, it expects you to gain a certain amount of score for the mission. If you outperform this (e.g. 1500 score instead of 500 score) then it’s likely you will still gain threat even if you end up losing the mission.

Gold players aren't really a group you can hate -as you hate cheaters- as gold is the threat and not really based on anything else than winning missions etc.

 

Cheaters is a group you can hate and they hide behind different colours of threat - sum of it they're scumbags who should be banned straight away.

No one was taught hating others because of their threat. In my opinion you ain't better than those who hate silvers for being silvers in a mission with mostly gold players, and it's not really their fault to begin with.

I was under the impression that the 'Pool' was the entire world being NA or Eu, including older dead accounts. 

Maybe I misunderstood the term.

I guess You're right, I shouldn't Judge. But some of them do that and talk down to silvers, and you know how bad the trash talk gets. 

I still think LO needs to put it in writting in a forum thread or added to the Tut menu. And I would say it needs some adjustment. 

[fastmode 7]

we don't care about the 15th Anniversary  we want anti cheat !

There's a lot trash talking in APB including down to silvers, bronzes etc. I'm silver because I am not good enough to be gold ^_^
However, yeah I would be careful with hopes of them doing such -in general :3
