foscor77 169 Posted October 9, 2018 the skill gap between the gold threat players is just too fking large. i know there also exists large skill gaps b/w silver threat players but in gold threat its even larger than silver. So either make a new threat like black or something or just increase the power or range or whatever the correct term of some already existing threats like bronze or green. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vsb 6171 Posted October 9, 2018 i think orbit has already expressed a desire to change how threat is calculated might not happen until we get the matchmaking update, since it doesnt really make sense to have one without the other Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5378 Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Can someone please, please, PLEASE post a thread explaining that adding more threats(than the 40 we already have) will change absolutely nothing. Edited October 9, 2018 by CookiePuss 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infinit3Fairl1ght 39 Posted October 9, 2018 Jokes aside, what should count in threat calculation is play time on the whole account. The accumulated experience is a huge boon, but it never counts, so in the end we have situations like new players paired against smurfs moping the floor with them.

But threat is already account wide so you can only really smurf by making a new account on which the play time would be zero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortune Runner 796 Posted October 9, 2018 that wouldn't do exactly how that says though from how manipulation points and so on already change it. the other threads go into detail as to why.....I'm to busy eating an ice cream cone so meh not about to hunt to quote them.

Because that's how life work ! you play with yours own skill capped people, silvers. Why punish newbies who don't know even how to use granades. To play vs players who haves 1000hours already ingame. you go 10 to zero and then they quit game and say shit like pw2 trash gold etc. Edited October 9, 2018 by EMilika You want new players yet you farm them NICE LOGIC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's also max rank bronzes.... 1000 hours means nothing. Dethreaters who don't belong in bronze ever cause players like me to go gold when we aren't good enough for it. When matchmaking and threat levels finally get reworked by Little Orbit THEN this will finally not be a problem anymore And no I don't go 10 to 0 I break even normally. if you actually knew ANYTHING about me you would of seen my other posts that clearly say that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a sucky job but there's those of us grateful for you taking care of it. Hopefully people start to understand soon that the threat color and separating people out more will guarantee APB dies. We need a proper matchmaking rework as well as a rework on threat and how points for objectives and points for kills are reworked as well. Then people will have threat based on a true skill rather than this mess we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
