    Looking good, my only real concern is that the pause menu is right in the middle of the screen with a blur filter behind it.  I like how with the current pause menu you can still see everything that's going on around you.  That and the neat graffiti look is gone from the old kismet menus (inventory, etc.)  I feel like more options could also be available in the main pause menu. Great start though.

    I'd love more items that have a focus on customization, more plain blank canvas type clothing items.  A morph suit being the ultimate example of a blank canvas item.  More masks, like a version of the plain hockey mask but without eye holes.  A smoother sphere head type mask than the snowman head too.

     

    Would also love more than anything a Matte Paint checkbox beside the metallic paint option in the vehicle editor.  That would do wonders for those of us that like rusty cars

     

    Kits for the lower tier cars would be great.

     

    New Fresno kit too maybe?

     

    Armored Van and Ambulance as player owned vehicles.

     

    Make Han Cellante purchasable again.

    They probably even have the free hacks, the aim hax, they teleport, they know when u put a scope on them without lookin at u.

    They have Unlimited Health, not to mention running multiple characters on multiple computers, playing both sides of the same mission.

    Yes it is Fraud it is Wire-Fraud a Federal Offense.

    Which is a means to and end, to Fraud the public, to induce an opinion of Grandeur. 

    What the hell are you even talking about man?  I really hope you're just joking about the unlimited health thing.

     

    -Player health is handled server-side so there's no cheat that can do that. 

     

    -The teleporting you're seeing is either a bad connection or a lag switch.  

     

    -It's not Wire-Fraud.  Wire Fraud is a financial crime.  Tricking people into thinking you're good at a video game by cheating isn't illegal (let alone a federal crime), it's just dishonest.

    -They're cheating against themselves?  What kind of command centers do you think these no-lifes have?

    Howdy, it's been a while since I posted here.  I made a few images to better illustrate what I'm talking about.  These are all things I've been complaining about over the years.  Sorry for the aspect ratio of the images, I made them on my phone.

    These are all pretty minor issues, but ones that bother me a lot more than they should.  I may be adding more as they come to mind. 

     

    So far my wishlist is:

     

    -Fix nighttime bloom

    -Fix HQ Bloom

    -Fix Rudigo Taillights 

    -Visual adjustments regarding nighttime fog to bring back the illusion of light pollution 

    -Revert the Vegas engine audio, or offer the old sounds in the form of an Audio Kit

    -Fix the suspension on the RWD Vegas

    -Fix the suspension on the Pioneer

    -Disable the OOB system when not in a mission

    -Bring back the old main menu/login screen

    What's to say they're not gonna fail this too 3 years down the line

    We won't know until they try it.  Same goes for the other upgrade attempts.  We didn't know that we were going to hit some impassable wall, now we do, so they stopped those attempts.  We're never going to get anywhere without trying new approaches after one fails.

    Where are you getting those dates from?  Not anywhere even close to being right.  RTW ran the game for the first two months and then went bankrupt and sold APB to G1.  Energizer was already removed in 2010, not 2015.  Everyone has it on by default, and it no longer takes a mod slot.

    I think your perception of time is broken.  Do you know what year it is right now?

    I'm fine thanks for asking. Sad? So the truth and reality makes you sad? Well it's ok, you just have to work harder. There wont be always people and tools around you to put things under your patootie everytime you need something.

     

    Neither these bot created abominations nor your drawing is worth 500 not even a penny, so get off your imaginary elitist high horse. Learn to do actual art or move on. Not sure how you can't understand the simplest things I've said. That said I am done repeating myself.

    We're not trying to make actual art or anything useful out of these, it's just something fun to mess around with.

    I do believe I've seen your works somewhere before and those forums are now closed because I can't find it any more in the bookmarks or those were from someone else.

     

    Someone made new content and ported the entire APB to a newer version of Unreal Engine. But eventually got a backlash from G1 or something can't remember. It was around 2017.

    And these were a part of it.

     

    I can weigh in on this.  Remaking the game in Unreal 4 wasn't actually Ellix's work.  That was the Phoenix Project by Nekrova, which I do the audio design for.  We didn't get in any legal trouble, but we made the decision to make our own game as a spiritual successor to APB instead of just remaking APB because we came to the realization there would be no way that we could sustain it and we definitely would have gotten into legal issues if we kept going.  When LO took over we had already changed our direction but we talked to Matt and Lixil directly in a Discord call to prove that we weren't using any stolen assets anymore.  There's no bad feelings between LO and Nekrova and the call turned into friendly conversation about the future of APB once we got all the legal stuff out of the way.  All I can really say about what Matt said in that conversation is that APB's future looks bright.

    I'd like bounties that are in missions able to be killed by players outside the mission unless those outside the mission are in a mission themselves.  One of the things that was lost with the imho stupid change was that this feature was intended to balance players that were doing too good by giving them more enemies to worry about.  So my suggestion would be to make it so bounties can be killed by players that are in free roam, but not by ones that are part of a separate mission, and that bounties can kill outside players that are not in a mission.

     

    The whole system is supposed to work as both a balance measure and a bonus to the person who has a bounty.  If they're doing too good then they get rewarded with 2X rewards, but they also have a higher chance of being killed.  This fits in perfectly with the game's intended risk/reward mentality.  The only people I've seen complain about this system are the few that consistently get bounties.  You know, the ones that it's supposed to be balancing.

     

    I explained to my friend who was somewhat new at the time about the change they made to the bounty system and they said that's one of the dumbest things they could have done to it.

    I sometimes invest in this game, but never invest in jocker boxes lol. as they prove to be more or less a fool proof.

     

    Actually i did invest in jocker boxes when i used my friend credit card at one point(i never use mine, cuz im a troll), and trust me... it was a very big disappointment, as even today i have the garbage that they gave me based on the filter named "popularity", and prolly never gonna use any of it again.

     

    Most of the boxes drop green temporarily garbage that i will never use, i used a few for testing before buying them with real money, but other than that, its basically a idiotic investment if u ask me, and the leak of actuall longer lease was a very big problem back then, as i failed to actually consider what i really enjoy based on fucking 30 min's lease, scummy deal.

     

    So far all my noob investments are laying in my inventory and never being used, go figure.

     

    In the end who cares, its all about money, and corporations will never care about customer discomfort, as usual

    Still... i believe i speak based on experience. But nowdays experience = ZERO sadly, even if its been proven otherwise countless times.

    Have you been paying attention to what's been going on lately?  Joker boxes are gone now.  Forever.  LO removed them and replaced it with a much better system.

    When I first started reading this I was disappointed that JMBs were being removed, but damn the replacement for them is so much better!  This is all amazing news.

    Thanks,

    Hey Matt, just please take note that JMBs are the only way to get a Dolton Fresno D400.  Please throw the D400 up on Armas and maybe add a tradable one to the joker store 🙂 

     

    Kewlin made a thread about it.
