MrChan 337 Posted May 19, 2019 Yes, let's give it back to G1, or RTW. They both did excellent jobs with APB. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't even know why people fuzzy bunny as if RTW was even remotely similar to G1. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fortune Runner 796 Posted May 19, 2019 RTW had MAJOR reasons that were lacking in the thinking process on why they failed. G1 well they are fresh enough in our minds on how bad it went. Little Orbit? The only one who actually cares enough about us and APB to clean up this mess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They did have a choice, they could've run their shit properly and not gone bankrupt for the sake of a game that probably wouldn't have faired any better than G1's iteration of APB did if it had lasted more than a couple of months.

Unbanning all those cheaters surely was not cleaning up the mess. And I don't think it is caring as well. literally giving thousends of cheating accounts free again is far from caring. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you find out who is in that "minority" of non-cheating? FairFight flagging system was at best lacky, at worst... just didn't work. At last year people were banned for playing game normally, all while people blatanted the hell out of game with zero consequences. Be happy there was unban, otherwise my mug would still be long gone. My unban is "second chance" for game. (I mean by that point I didn't wanted to create second main, pour money into dead game and go through even more bullshoot than it was in 2016-2018 so I decided to give up, unless my account somehow gets unbanned - I must have someone above because it was freakin miracle to me.)

There were false bans and also there was not adequate sound proof. To accuse without a proper foundation is unacceptable. Once again , even MattScott was banned. It did not work. To say those were justified is directly against MattScott himself for he was banned under it unjustly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CatInTuxedo 26 Posted May 20, 2019 Yeah there were updates 1 with new joker box. 1 with absolutely boring event. And some others with events that we had even before. Only thing that changed since G1 "left" is that there is new trading system (which ive never used and probably will never use it), ubanning cheaters new joker box that i wont buy until something is actually gona happen with this broken game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please, don't-make-me-laugh. this stuff is known because this was all explained when the unbans were happening? any ff ban without documentation (re: evidence) was reversed, because orbit found both significant flaws in the way ff was analyzing “cheaters” and significant misuse of ff by g1 staff you of all people should be on board with this, ive seen you post several suggestions on how to improve the game for new players - arguably step one is “don’t falsely ban new players” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You shouldn't make it sound like he was simply playing the game when he was suddenly banned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Havana 216 Posted May 20, 2019 RIOT definitely is NOT the answer. No one asked for it or wanted it. Engine uograde and new content. A new map, minor weapons tweaks. Better matchmaking. All the stuff we all cry about for years. Nope, lets do BR!, it's the fad that's about to die out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since they run test to trigger freaking ban with several successes. And no, they CAN discern cheater (first months they did get rid of quite a lot of cheaters) but I assume whoever handles ban, slacks off. Then there is problem that this morons keep rerolling as well. And got tools which help them in that - HWID Spoofers, VPNs etc. Edited May 20, 2019 by Mitne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please, don't-make-me-laugh. If you could tone down the attitude, that would be helpful. Please have patience with the players who have been paying attention, when it's clear that you have not. As far back as the Q&A Matt addressed the improper bans and the need for unbans. You can find the entire transcript in this thread. The relevant portions are as follows: Q: The anti-cheat system. Will you be making any changes? A: This was the number one question. I think the community is super divided, especially the second part of the question. Will we be changing cheat detection? Absolutely. We’ve been working with Battleye, and we think that they are the market leader in client-side anti-cheat. We’re already three quarters of the way into the integration. The reason why we set this date was that we could get something concrete in place before announcing it, and also to allow the new support system to gain traction. But we think that this is the most important thing that we could implement to immensely help the game. We also mentioned that we’re keeping FairFight, but without doing auto-bans. The system has not been tuned for a year, and wasn’t being updated while the company was struggling. In my opinion with FairFight and Battleye, which will come in the next patch we put out, will be the ideal solution. And this: Q: Will there be unbans? Will it be a full reversal or partial reversal? A: This is such a divisive issue. These last two weeks have been extremely busy for Little Orbit, especially with GDPR. What I did was sit on the customer support calls and worked through issues. We had FairFight auto-bans and I sat on the line with customers and logs, and we can clearly determine that there were improper bans. Those bans shouldn’t have been in place. It’s really hard for me to leave those bans in place. But I do want to say that this could raise issues of “oh these cheaters are bad” but specifically the bulk of the cheating bans are going to be reversed; the community is going to get a second chance. We’re not going to unban all players, for instance players committing credit card fraud, but we’re going to unban the majority of the bans. It’s going to be quite a bit of work trying to get the next patch out, but once that happens, and we get the updated FairFight with Battleye, there’s going to be unbans. This has been discussed several times since. Feel free to use the search function yourself to learn more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
