This never gets old

[Hollowchick 32]

So the game got Battleye now, what everybody and their grandmother was waiting for, but you didn't really believe that would stop anybody crying about cheaters now did you?

So first we had Punkbuster. Punkbuster was utter sheit, I don't think anybody is gonna argue in a sane state  of mind unless they've been in a coma since 2003 and just woke up.

Then we had reports to the support. Bans took long and weren't all that precise if they happened at all. So the community cried for an anti cheat solution.

Then we got FairFight. For the first month or so people were so fucking hyped, everybody and their grandmother loved it for banning and publicly shaming notorious cheaters in kilometer long ban lists. People were stoked for about a month, then it was slowly creeping in. People were complaining about false positives and problems with FF. All the bans were wrong and no cheater would ever be banned ofc, the person they suspected cheating has been on for months and isn't banned yada yada yada.

Then Punkbuster acted up. So everybody was complaining all of a sudden. To be fair: Evenbalance is a freaking joke and Punkbuster belonged in a graveyard roughly 8 years prior already. So they removed Punkbuster. And people were crying cause all Punkbuster-bans were lifted and the massive amount of 3 cheaters that Punkbuster banned over these years were released.

So LO took over and at this point the cries for another proper anti cheat were about as loud as a starting fighter jet.
And LO delivered. With Battleye, an anti cheat which was not demanded but practically ransomed by the community. And we got it. Low and behold everybody and their grandmother was praising it for about a month when it first came. Praise to be held over the combination of FairFight and Battleye, two of the best anti-cheat systems on the market right now. Everything was perfect.
But then ofc people started crying about THAT too. They saw cheaters and hekler chet blyat. Aimboot valhak treggerboat, everybody cheat)))
 

Cracks me up every time. Wonder what it takes to please some people.

VAC support in 2021 guys.

Hard to say, but not having to play against the same cheater for months would probably be a start.

APB doesn't have any more of a cheater problem than any other F2P shooter. It does however have a hackusation problem.

Word. Other F2P games can be lucky if they even have a single sheitty anti cheat solution while APB has two of the top market leaders in that department combined.

Also, it feels like you guys are forgetting the CEO even admitted the anti cheat isn't up to snuff.

Yea, but Matt holds the opinion that any cheaters above 0 means it is not up to snuff. Sure, might be a nice outlook to have towards improvement but it isn't very realistic.

Does he think that tho?

it’s almost like cheats and anticheats are caught in an endless loop of one-upping each other

 

how crazy is that

FF was pretty amazing, got the most renowed cheaters that been an unoperable tumorous cancer for years. That it had false postives was their last tactic to take down such powerful anticheat.

 

For a month playing apb was a dream, that didnt happen with battle eye...

Bruh whatever you are smoking, share some with me.

They cried so bad and probably spammed support and BBB so much that g1 was forced to or disable or tone down because it was cleaning cheaters as no anticheat ever did.

Thats some next level conspiracy shit right there.

If only there was a support option for "This player killed me and I'm upset over it." Player still gets to go through the cathartic process of reporting someone but it ends up in the trash where it belongs and doesn't clog up the queue. 

 

This is why the /report command was so useful. Not for what it made Fair-Fight do but for endorphin release it gave those using the tool dis-proportionally.  

[wHisHi 206]

99% of apb forum is either complaining about smth because - why fcking not, we are best, loyal, not trash talking players - or crying about things that are still not developed. Its useless topic about nothing, learn to shoot and you wont have these problems, period.

Edit: Im on OP side, this was dedicated to other players.

Can you stop talking about my grandmother please?

History definitely repeats its self , especially in APB

[Virgil 55]

the problem lies in third person shooter with severe engine limitations such as how much information can be sent at a time. combine that with bugs and general performance issues like hitreg and you get people hackusating because they fundamentally don't understand how the game functions.

 

not to mention the majority of players can barely move a mouse, let alone think critically.

 

 

BE is the best "public" anticheat in the industry. I've wrote up a several paragraph post describing how it works, heuristics, and a few other things several times before, but, most people never read them and just quote it and go "if thats true why is x or y still playing the game" despite no proof at all outside their little pea brain struggling to come up with a reason why x or y must be cheating.

 

Sad truth, most of the players of this game are just fucking dumb, those that aren't are usually so inexperienced they aren't aware of the flaws that make things look suspect.

When you are acused of conspiracy then probably is right, because it was created to discredit people.

 

It's a typical false flag attack by enslaved sheeple... a sherson? Sherpson? ...anyways!! He is being lied to, and he should do his own research and seek the truth.
