I sent a snipping tool screen grab of my inventory from a game (Arena Breakout, extraction shooter like Tarkov), as soon as I pasted it to my friend I was instantly logged out and banned.

I have used the in app appeal 3 days ago, I have also sent 3 tickets to them only to get marked as “Solved” and then I get a clyde bot response.

I am not sure what to do, I have had this account since discords launch.

What the FUCK are they spending their Nitro+ money on as it certainly isn’t customer support.

What kind of shit is this? the way to get out of this 4 gun meta is to make every other weapon not useless.

Like what is the point adding stuff to the SG550 that does NOTHING to make the gun somewhat usable.

The fire power stat needs a look at in general to be honest.

I don’t even need to run the gun I’m a season 0 player with infinite koen but it’s nice to step outside the HK/U191 sometimes you know?

How do new players even cope atm, when 90% of the guns are shit.

Rant over.

Beeb playing the game the last few days and it feels really nice, but most of my ranked games have been very high goals, like minimum 6 goals per game (between us). 3:4, 4:4 and even had one game where we ended 5:6!

This is intentional right? I notice defenders don’t do anything in the game so I just rely on jocky and R1 press and hope for the best. I notice my opponents do the same, once my 90 pace winger gets the ball I can pretty much run through them.

Am I missing something? I am just curious about higher ranks as I go and want to make sure I’m prepared.

Thank you kings.

We are all season 0 players, legend every season etc etc so not new guys, we like to play lockdown as a warmup and every game we kill one real human and then it’s just infested with bots, what gives?

We have tried low ping preference off etc.

For now we have just been sweating forbidden but it was a shame not to be able to enjoy lockdown.

Ok so I have an old ubisoft account it is protected by 2 factor and also the automatic login on my PC still works.

When I wanted to reset my password as I am aetting up a new computer the password reset email was in ukrainian and not english.

However looking at my account it only has 2 login attempts, both ones I recognize and also I have never been logged in elsewhere in devices.

The only thing I noticed was that my prefered language wasn’t set? I have now set that to english and the emails are not english.

What I don’t get is I am using a VPN anyway in the UK and in the UK at the moment so surely it should default to english?

Thanks.

I originally asked support the question and they told me that changing your name would mean that your old name would become unavailable.

However this is literally false. I have managed to change to my old main account username on my alt, this was done out of curiosity.

However I know that this might be important info to people concerned about privacy or any up and coming TTVs worried about impersonation.

So just a heads up, if you change your name someone CAN take your old one.

So basically, I unfortunately live in a country that deems personal privacy irrelevant so I am forced to verify my age with Apple however I do not have a credit card.

I am reluctant to use my passport or ID because it says Apple works with trusted partners to verify this rather than just Apple themselves does anyone know who this is?

could it be Yoti or persona? If so, no thanks.

Thank you all in advance.

Can we finally get rid of fake player bots from lockdown, it’s so frustrating when I want to play with my friends who are newer to the game (Who are not ready for FB) and we get stale and essentially PvE lobbies with 1 maybe 2 other humans.

What is it with Tencent games always forcing fake players?

Your bullets can, and often do, penetrate other body parts and hit others, so if you get a headshot that doesn’t kill, that could be why.

No need to post another 1000 “How did he not die” threads when you see hit markers all up and down the arm like a drug addict. Look first, stop wasting everyone’s time.

The last few updates has been so hit and miss, today Wireguard just does not work, it sits at 90% forever. I’ve had to switch to open VPN but it’s slightly slower.

Anyone else having issues?

Got a pair the other day, amazing amazing feeling shoes. I got them as I work a lot on my feet and for gym etc, I’m a bigger dude at about 120kg 6’6” so I’m aware they will wear out faster.

I usually live life in Timberland boots or Jordans so not sure what to expect from my first lifestyle, from a running brand, shoe.

Thanks all.

I made an account, brand new, used apples hide my email, I didn’t sync contacts, I didn’t give duo lingo my phone number, I didn’t use my real name, I have not followed anyone and I use a VPN that multi hops to another VPN, then out.

How on earth did I show up on my friends DL account as a suggestion?

We tried to do some TV lockdown earlier, kept getting empty lobbies except like one bot team? All legend rank, S0 accounts and over 500 hours so not new accounts. What is happening?

It simply has to be part of the game, they can fix it overnight as they already don’t allow you to do it for secure ops, they also used to allow you to bring spare face shields too but stopped that with a small patch.

So the best you can do is either abuse it yourself or reap the rewards of people choosing to bring excessive value into a raid.

That’s it. The devs either don’t care or don’t listen, or they do and it’s created that way on purpose.

The game has issues, the reddit, discord and steam forums will show that. The multitude of youtube videos, the currently as of writing this, mixed rating on steam.

I am nobody but a keen player of the game, I have vast experience in the extraction shooter genre and I just want to say, devs here is how to fix your game.

The MAIN problem with ABI is that it ignores players choice and chooses for you, you as a player get dictated the meta, dictated who you play against and dictated to how you play. Below I will elaborate.

Normals need to hard lock to T4 gear and T3 ammo, remove ability take disassembled gun into raid and do not allow anyone with stash value about 250m into normals.

The first one, ok I get it sometimes people enjoy noob stomping and going into a normal raid to warm up and shit on some new players but it is genuinely killing the growth of the game.

I have personally had multiple people quit or give up playing because of how bad the new player situation is at the moment and I am talking mostly ex Tarkov players so not completely alien to the genre.

There is NO reason for T5/T6 ammo to be allowed in the normal mode, or T5 armour, or guns that break the entry value. It is hurting the game, because if you are completely new you may not realise that it isn’t a fair playing field.

If it was T4 gear and T3 ammo this would make fights longer, more meaty and overall more full-filling. It gives newer players a fighting chance to actually have combat instead of insta dying and it also helps to combat ratting and bush camping as it gives the person getting ratted a chance to retaliate.

Newer players should expect to fight newer players, simply put.

Diversify the gun pool.

You either run one of the 191s or HK, if you don’t you are simply at a disadvantage. Now I know a meta is part of the game and believe me as someone with 30+ U191s in my stash, I won’t sit there and tell you to stop using the broken weapon.

However, it is not ok, why does the G3 have around 30 meters of range, why is the FAL low fire power regardless of barrel? Why is the VSS uncontrollable regardless of mods?

The list could go on but currently you have 3 king guns (4 if you must include the T192) and then you have your A+ tier guns like your AEKs, AK12s etc and then you simply have everything else. Like I personally enjoy the MCX as it looks cool but could I run it in forbidden instead of a U191 and expect to have the same outcomes? No.

Also people are quick to just want to nerf this gun and nerf that gun, is a race to the bottom really what we want? I say, bring more guns up to the viable level and let people choose.

Urban/Indoor map.

For most people, you could squint your eyes and think valley, northridge and armoury (Arguably airport) are the same map, a main POI with irrelevant empty space surrounding it, ok, Northridge has decent lesser POIs I get it, but TV station being the ONLY inside map becomes stale after a while, not everyone wants 10 minutes of running through a forest just to find a fight.

Weak seasons.

Updates have gotten weaker as the game has gone on, this season being the weakest, we got two new weapons, one being pretty much the same as it’s bigger better brother, the T191/192.

Two new guns, a modified version if a map that already exists and some new skins is simply not good enough to warrant a whole new season for many.

Red ammo was not the issue, entry value was and still is.

Let’s face it, we all hate rat tappers unless you are one, but the solution to destroy yet more guns in a 3 gun meta, purely because they can run red ammo was a bad move. The Mosin, SVT and M110 became absolutely metagame irrelevant, without the actual problem being fixed.

The problem most people had, including myself, was that the entry value to forbidden was so low that you would run a 2,000,000+ kit and either be tapped by someone who can risk virtually nothing as ammo lives inside the same container and the entry value is met by a gun and a pair of headphones or have a fight with a guy only to loot him to find crusty T4 that’s seen better days even for lockdown. The entry for forbidden should be minimum 1,000,000 and then at least then everyone becomes worth killing despite their chosen play-style, rat or chad, you wouldn’t go to the high rollers table and expect to walk away with the jackpot when you yourself only bring shirt buttons so why should the game be the same.

Too many bots for newer players and poor matchmaking.

Ok we get it, it’s a Tencent owned game so naturally fake player bots are part of the game, but you should let people CHOOSE to wait longer to find a lobby with JUST humans in normal or lockdown.

Likewise, let solos CHOOSE to wait longer to find a game of likeminded solos and remove solo ops as a game mode as no one seriously plays it other than rats, actual chads just play regular forbidden.
