3D_fobia 1 Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) I just returned from my nearly a year without (somewhat) beloved APB. And the only reason for this is this hype around the new 'second chance' for APB. And the very first day I arrived I saw dozens of people doing nothing except aimboting, wallhacking and even speadhacking. Doing it explicitly and without any shame. Like there is nothing wrong with it and this game we are playing was created to be played that way. Some of them even advertized resources on which they took their soft on. Is that a new reality of APB right now? Like, what can players do about it if creators do not care that much? (yet?) I do have screenshots of this nonsense (AND BY SCREENSHOTS OF NONSENSE I MEAN PUBLICLY ADVERTISING RESOURCES WITH CHEAT PROGRAMS WHILE PRESUMABLY CHEATING AND ADMITTING THAT) but I miserably fail to figure out how to attach pictures at this high-tech forum :C Edited June 8, 2018 by 3D_fobia PEOPLE BEING DUMB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SelttikS 224 Posted June 4, 2018 Roaches scurry from the cracks as the bombs as set to exterminate their colonies. Basically people that are gonna use hack are doing it as much as they can before it becomes somewhat harder to get away with. Funny is that they will get to keep all the ill gotten gains if they actually stop before BE catches them, or i guess if they send it all to other accounts... Eh whatever, I guess LO made its choices on what is fine and what is not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be because that is an important issue in an online game, especially one that had 17k people banned for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheAceNinja 38 Posted June 4, 2018 As someone else said, some are doing it to level up/make as much cash as possible. Others are seeing no risk so they're going ham. And some are just the same ol' rage botters that don't care and are only doing it because there's a slightly bigger population now. Hopefully BE will clean up a good portion. Just waiting on that ETA/Patch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrChan 337 Posted June 4, 2018 "Dozens" is probably an exaggeration, but it's been a persistent issue since our client-side anti-cheat was turned off. FF is quite obviously incapable of managing by itself. (idk how it can't instantly detect that someone is exceeding maximum movement speed and ban, but maybe it can't differentiate between a player on foot and a player in a car or something). Maybe it's worse right now because people want to get their cheating in before BattlEye drops and they may not be able to afterwards, but honestly I think it's been this bad at times in the past 18 months or so.

Supposedly they're still investigating/manual banning people who get flagged but with some of the same people in game, I'm having a hard time believing that.

Danimal 36 Posted June 4, 2018 We are still in the era of Gamers First APB. To think anything has changed in such a short period is ignorant. Did you read any patch notes specifing there has been changes? No. Then it's the same game for now. The question is whether or not LO wants to steer the "sinking"ship towards the tropical island occupied by snusnu deprived amazonians! Follow APB Twitter and get updated with changes as they roll out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guessing that they're also trying to devise a new process in evaluating bans in light of G1's mess, so I'd sit tight and wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can only report to actual LO staff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iAdoreHer 7 Posted June 4, 2018 GMs are on from time to time and volunteers can only report but with a faster response / ban rate from GMs. Cheaters are still being banned but not publicly shamed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many reasons for people to get banned, we just have a lot more visibility with the cheating issue. Why not trust LO to do something decent with the games they just bought? Doesn't cost me anything to let them have a little trust. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course people get banned for many things. So you say people are getting banned, just not for cheating? Or something else? Trust is earned my friend. LO seems to understand this, you should too.
