  1. 3-day Premium -> CreepedOut2019

     

    This little gem was "hidden" in Lixil's post about the Halloween Costume Contest:

     

    My artistic talent allows me to draw, at best, stick men and women.  😕  Because of this, I don't even bother clicking on any post that relates to designing things, even contests.

     

    If you are like me, then you may have missed the fact there was a freebie Premium code available.

     

    The only way I knew about it was a tweet by @gordoismyname (thanks Gordo!) that was liked by APB Reloaded which is why it made it to my feed.

     

    Enjoy.  And thanks to LO for bringing back freebie codes.  Hopefully this trend continues and happens more often.

    Anyone into the dnb sub genres called rollers or jump up? My two favourite types of dnb, very fast and alot of bass with many samples not one boring sample all the way through.

    *snip*

    Thanks for these.  The first link was not bad.  I have listened to stuff like that before and enjoyed it.  I liked the second link, but enjoyed the third the most.   In fact, I've actually heard that tune in a few dnb mixes before.  I also liked the Metrik tune.

    Also if anyone can deal with an MC over the tunes, then check this out. Got many many sets so if you like it i will link more, its abit of an aquired taste and I wouldn't be surpirsed if its just me whos a fan. I was actually at Boomtown Fair 2 months ago and It was insane, this was on of the sets i skanked for two hours listening too. This was probably my favourite set other than Chase & Status Return II Jungle, that was insane, the visuals and soundsytem was off the charts.

     

    23:32, that double drop is too naughty I nearly kicked my nan down the stairs. (Joke)

     

     

     

    I also enjoyed this.  I find these guys remind me of Noisia without the sampling, with an annoying MC.

     

    Might want to check out the EATBRAIN and Blackout podcasts.  Quite good.  On YouTube, I've subscribed to BassDrop's channel as (s)he posts the EATBRAIN podcasts ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA6lCs0CBpc5NHqVxiSqpLw )

     

     

    Aaaand, check out this one:  

     


  3. Yeah, I've experienced the same thing with the chain link gates.  Had the gate respawn in the tail of my vegas, which ended up blocking my teammate from getting to me and the objective.  Had to shoot it a bunch of times to get it to "destroy" again.


  4. I don't understand why players are grouped up at the beginning of unopposed missions,  You end up getting a group of 3 or 4 players and they end up sitting waiting for opponents until players start abandoning.

     

    Just make it a single player for an unopposed mission, and then pull them in to an opposed multi-player mission.

     

    I've been placed in so many unopposed missions with other players and we've ended up sitting until the end of the timer for a veeeeery long time.  Completely blows.

     

    Or, the other thing that happens is that after players bail, you are left by yourself in a mission then gets opposed ... by one other player, leaving you in a 1v1.  Not. Cool.

     

    Respectively,

    LL

    I'd suggest just moving all the contacts to Financial for Console. Nobody ever plays waterfront, and nobody will go even if you ask people. So, there is absolutely no way to level contacts in waterfront. Because you don't even get Opp-less missions.

    They have 2 new contacts that are being added that are waterfront only.  This will re-populate waterfront as I suspect all of the R255's will be playing waterfront to complete the new contacts.

     

    Will probably see a complete reversal of what we have right now.  Waterfront will be full-ish, and financial will be almost empty.

     

    I believe the contacts are being added with the engine update.

     

    Here is what Matt said about the reason they are being added to waterfront:

     

    Hi there,

     

    Waterfront has always been short two contacts. So while it is not ideal, this is where these contacts were designed to go long before we took over.

     

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Yes yes and yes. dnb crew, i see you ❤️ 

    *snip*

    I have an endless list of gems.

     

    Out of the 3 you shared, I enjoyed "Urbandawn - Come Together (feat. Tyson Kelly)" the most.  Thanks for that.

    fam, 
    *snip*

    im so hyped one of my favourite artist has a commonality with the name I chose its awesome

     

    Thanks for sharing these.  Out of your 3, I laughed at the fact that I enjoyed the "Cliffy - Commercial shit your Nan will like" one the most.  I love dubstep more than dnb, and this tune was kind of a nice mix.

     

    The tunes from Redeyes is music I have to be in a certain mood to enjoy.

    dnb? sure

    *snip*

     

    Out of the bunch, "Just Greg - Puglist Junglist" was my favourite as it is most close to the stuff I normally listen to with its speed, beat, and sampling.  Thanks you guys for sharing.

     

    This is one that I am really enjoying.  Love the "heh, heh, heh" bit (eventually I'll figure out how to separate that from the track and then I'll use it as my text msg notification, lol).

     

    This is the original.

     

     

     

    And this is the VIP version.  I like both, but prefer the VIP version.

     

     

    I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

    Not sure if you know this or not, but if you open your character info (default key is "J" I think) and switch to the "Progression" tab's contact list and double-click a contact you can remote pledge and/or accept their DA without having to actually drive over to them? Let's you easily skip some of the more monotonous daily activities. 😛

    Well, I knew I could remote pledge, but I did not know that I could accept DAs as well.  Thanks!  Still learning things about the game (or being reminded about something I forgot ... could be that too. lol.)


  8. I think for the most part, we can all agree that there are a lot of toxic people in the apb community.  Lots of threads "showcasing" this.

     

    This isn't one of them.

     

    Both my mains are R255, and I've been around this game for a number of years on and off.  So, not a newbie just starting.  Newbie in-game, but not just starting the game.  😉

     

    I'm one of those guys that does the daily activities (DAs) while I'm playing my missions, etc.  I enjoy most of them as it forces me to use a different weapon than I would normally use, plus has the added benefit of giving me those JTs so I can collect em up and maybe get a 3-slot character bound weapon from the joker store in social.

     

    The problem for me is that there are some of the daily activities that take me a while to get and because I am at my fifth daily activity, I can't switch the activity out.  Or more often than not, I forget that I can actually go to a contact and change the DA.  😕  I think the one I dislike the most though, is the resupply 25 ammo to teammates one.  Takes forever.

     

    It takes me a long time (usually) to "run 2 (or is it 3?) people over with your vehicle" and this one frustrates me.  Earlier this month I had this particular DA and it was about an hour and I still only had run only one person over.  I got so frustrated that I asked in district chat if "one of the nice terrorists would allow me to run them over so I could get rid of the DA".  Wasn't really expecting someone to say "yah, I'll do it if we get opposed", but someone did. Figured, Ok just someone messing around with me, but lo and behold we ended up opposed and he whispered me and said "where you at? I'll let you run me over" ... and he did just that.  Sadly, I can't remember the players name.  I'm pretty sure I was on my "AmorousAardvark" alt enforcer toon at the time.

     

    And last night, I had a player deliberately spawn his vehicle and bring it to me to allow me to blow it up (twice) so I could clear my DA.  This one I remember(ish) the name ... Weatherin or Witherin.  I was using my main enforcer toon, "LewdLemming".

     

    So yeah, just wanted to say THANKS and say that not everyone is toxic in this game.  Maybe I'll be able to pay it forward to someone else.


  9. Like I said, if you do a quick search on "disconnect" or "crash", etc you'll see a number of posts with a number of ideas for fixing the issue.  They may or may not work for you.

     

    None of them have worked for my buddy though.


  10. There are a few threads about random disconnects in this section of the forum.  The majority of them seem to be "ran out of memory".  If you run a search on "disconnect", a bunch should pop up.

     

    Plus, if you have an RTX card, there are known issues between them (the drivers are for 64-bit, or something like that) and the game as the game is 32-bit.  Apparently the drivers are not so backwards compatible and so the game tends to crash.

     

    That being said, there is a log file that is created when you launch apb.  If you open that file, it will give you a better idea of what the problem is.

     

    Unfortunately, though ... there is no black and white fix for the issue.  LO is aware of the issue and have indicated that they have not experienced any issues (re: random crashes) on testing the new engine upgrade, which they said they hope to release by end of year.  😕

    I can fuzzy bunny all day,

    I about choked on my coffee when I read this bit.  That right there is a signature waiting to happen.

     

    And please, fer the luva gawd Havana, lay off the caps.  You don't need the caps for the community, or at least the ones that frequent the forums, to know you are upset. 

     

    I've been around this game for years as well, and frequently get my butt stomped.  Do I get upset?  Lots of times.  Mostly when I have my doubts about a player or two from on the opp team.  But, that being said, I also realize that maaaaaaybe that person is actually just that much better than me.  Lord knows I am not that great of a player.

     

    The other thing to keep in mind too, is that the young-uns reflex times are usually much faster than us older folks.

     

    With regards to reporting, LO has indicated they are about 3-4 weeks behind on answering support tickets, which I assume is how a /report gets to them.  Could be wrong about that though.

    they got rid of/ are planning on getting rid of the cooldown feature and equalizing mod timers across the board. The only benefit premium will have, is likely that "replacement" and customizations

    Seems to me the wrong way to go.   You take away all the "benefits" of prem, you lose the income source.

     

    I read the transcript of the Q & A that Kevkoff was kind enough to do, and they said one of the things they were thinking of doing was adding more JTs for people with premium. But, to me that is not enough to make people continue buying premium.  😕


  13. Any thoughts on making the Friends list account-wide?

     

    Pros / cons?

     

    I personally think it would be a good idea as I've had a few players I've had the pleasure of teaming up with and have forgotten the name when on one of my other characters.

     

    If the list were account-wide, you'd be able to see them on-line and if they were a different faction, you would could return to lobby and switch to the other faction to play with them.  This is great when you are stuck playing with yourse .. .uhh, BY yourself and would like to play in a group.

    *snip* nobody want to see newbies playong wt demolition weapons 🙂

    Are you kidding?  I love when newbies play with explosive weapons.  Seeing them blow themselves up cracks me up.  Mind you it cracks me up when I blow myself up with explosives, too ... I think there is something wrong with me.

    As a casual gamer I don't see how 0-10 JT / average 1 per game affects me?

     

    If the idea was to increase participation (rather than to make APB afull-time job for people blessed with unemployment) - then it should be 2 games daily with 20 guaranteed tickets, with 100 weekly cap or whatever. And then daily 2 mission bonus is depleted - make it 1 ticket per game for those blessed with unemployment, till weekly cap is depleted.

    Keep in mind that this is on top of the JTs you get via the daily activities and fight club, etc.

    It's sugarcoating, the amount of time you have to put into this is way to much. People who have jobs and who have not that much time to play aren't gaining that much from it. Making every opposed mission worth 10 JT is a good start in 'fixing' the issue. The RND as it is now is just proper bs, plain and simple.

     

     

    IMO, if they provide too many JTs, then they might as well just give ARMAS weapons to everyone.

     

    There won't be any sense of "I worked hard for this" by grinding for something you really want.  It will just be more "gimme, gimme, gimme".

     

    Plus, basically handing everyone JTs will end up hurting LO as I would think less people would be spending money to buy weapons on ARMAS.

     

    Granted, I am not sure the income split between purchases of weapons over vehicles and clothing, but I would think it would still have an impact.  Less money coming in = less work being done on the game.

    It would make more sense if JTs were account wide

    One possible "fix" for this would be to add JTs to the list of items that can be traded between players.

    When selecting a primary weapon, you can easily filter by weapon category. This would already help resolve part of the issue.

    lCXfGgB.png

    Granted, part of the issue ... yes.  But again, a new player isn't going to know this type of stuff.  Hell, I had forgotten about this feature.

     

    However, I think it would still be a good idea to at least have the weapon category in the details of the gun.  Maybe add a field to the weapon stats table when you are looking at the gun (where it says "hard damage, stamina damage, etc".


  18. I've played this game for a while, and even then sometimes I have no idea if a specific weapon falls under a specific category (i.e. - assault rifles, light machine guns, etc).

     

    When you get the daily activities that say something along the lines of "get 5 kills with marksman weapons" sometimes I have a brainfart and don't remember which weapons fall under that category.

     

    So, imagine how a new player to the game would feel or react. 

     

    If they had under each weapons description a category of what it fell under, it would be very helpful.
