8/10 It really does kinda sound like it would fit in with APB's soundtrack, especially among some of the songs that have been removed after their licensing ran out.

lol I understand that was a joke, but the reason Pheonix was even started was so APB players would have somewhere to go when G1 finally killed off APB for good. It was started out of love for APB. But seeing as how APB is in the hands of someone who actually cares about it now, we're just happy it's still around. Matt and the Pheonix team are on good terms ever since the chat they had. I was in the call at the time and it's clear that Matt really does want to set this game on track for a long and successful life.

So the entire thing is metal? Impressive!

They're not using APB files anymore. They even had a direct chat with Matt to confirm that they aren't using any stolen assets anymore. Probably about 2 years ago the team decided that they would rather make their own game because a remake or emulator would just get shut down immediately. Check that thread out that Cookie linked, it has everything you need to know about it with up to date info.

Nice job! What materials did you use?

I swear I remember him saying that too...

Nekrova isn't remaking APB or making the emulator anymore. None of the pictures on that site worked but I think I know which ones they were. Pheonix is its own thing now and is separate from APB. Similar in concept and feel, but that's about it.

I think they're from the criminal Nomad kit.

Sounds like a carburetor issue. Try draining the gas tank and filling it about a quarter of the way 0way with eyedrops to clean the carburetor out. It HAS to be Clear Eyes brand though. Any other brand will short out the battery and cause the blinker fluid to leak.

Welcome to APB! Kinda surprised you didn't know about the customization before playing considering that's one of the main selling points of this game. You're better than just average dude, that Happy Noodle Boy symbol proves it. I still have that one of Carl's face from ATHF you made for me years ago

Pretty much everything that you mentioned here can be disproven or better explained with a quick look over the forums and not just hearing what you want to hear (besides the weapon balance, that just didn't go very well). You claim BE isn't working, but do you remember the state that APB was in before BattleEye? FF was banning legits and cheaters were reaching endgame with a speed-hacker in every match. What haven't they delivered on yet? They're making good progress on their original roadmap but hit a few snags here and there. Game development is unpredictable, especially with the well laid out mess of a game that they started with. You mean like the scheduled server maintenance every Wednesday? They're also working on a solution to the DDOS. You can't just straight up block it, but it can be mitigated, which they're trying to improve. They REDUCED the price of G1C by 20% (400 G1C used to be $5. Now 500 G1C is $5) as well as reducing the cost of pretty much everything on Armas. What used to be a $30 gun is now around $12. Why do you feel the need to only focus on negatives, most of which were completely made up? You're ignoring the fact that they've done more good for this game in one year than G1 did in four. Not only that, but they saved it from permanent death. I can't imagine what having your attitude toward everything is like, because no doubt it isn't just limited to APB. Rose tinted glasses my friend. You don't even know how broken the game used to be. As much as I hate to admit it, G1 actually improved the stability of the game over the years. It used to crash constantly. Not only that but they also made a lot of quality of life and gameplay improvements like doubling the jump height and turning Upgrades into the colored Mods we know today. Back in RTW they didn't have downsides.

Of course, you gotta leave 'em with a /bow to a /danceirish.

I'd like this a lot. I used to have macros set up for my emotes years ago, but I wouldn't even dream of setting that up nowadays with BE running. What I'd really like to see would be an emote wheel on the UI when you hold down the bound key for it with 5 swappable slots for emotes. If you need to use an emote that isn't selected on the wheel you can still just type it in the chat or bring up the F10 emote menu.

Agreed. One time I was in a 1v2 against two other max ranks, and it turned into a vip mission. Me, being the only guy on my team became VIP. So I was on my own and had half the lives they did. Needless to say I lost that one.

I'd love a trumpet, or a version of the Electric Guitar one with distortion. The BrittneyBRGuitar is just too limited. You can't really make chords or anything with it and it has no sustain.

I'd imagine this could be avoided by just forcing the player to stand up once the bench breaks. Sure it may be a little annoying for those trying to sit, but at least you have the ability to do it, and it wouldn't interrupt the flow of the game by turning benches into another Vegas trap like phone kiosks.

I love seeing posts like this. More often than not APB is the butt of the joke whenever it happens to be mentioned. It's had a really shaky past with money men at RTW not knowing how development works, G1 not knowing how the game works, and G1 also trying to squeeze every cent they could out of it. A little over a year ago when I saw a red name on the forum post "An Open Letter To The APB Community" I nearly had a heart attack because it had to be the end. I was sure I knew what was going to be said in that post, but luckily I was completely wrong. At the time none of us could even fathom another company wanting anything to do with a nearly dead game that's been known as one of the biggest flops ever. In their short time here LO has done more than former G1 has in the past 4 years. Not only that but they also took on Fallen Earth, a potentially more broken game. After the conversation that the Phoenix team had with Matt & Lixil (I was in the call at the time but I didn't speak, too shy) it's safe to say that he genuinely wants to fix this game and set it on the right track for a long life. Also happy that they kept some of the good G1 staff like Androvald that have been around since the beginning.

All of that has been scrapped when it was decided that Pheonix would become its own game, we aren't using any stolen assets anymore. We even had a one on one chat with Matt Scott in Discord to verify that everything we use is original and not borrowed from APB. The screenshots you linked are very old. They are from way back when the idea was to remake APB.

A sale would never hurt. I'm out of space for guns on my main character but I have a ton of alts I could buy stuff for. I'd be willing to just to support LO for everything they've done so far. Discounts on bigger packs would be awesome.

The only mission I really want removed is Creme de la Crime.

Excuse me... What? When have they ever done anything pro-cheater? All I've seen them do was make cheating a much less common occurance due to an anticheat that actually works. I never see speed hackers anymore. It's easy to dismiss anyone you don't agree with as part of the "cheater community".

Jesus Christ you're dense. I'm done trying.

Ok first of all, that doesn't make sense as a reply, because yes, there is fog. I don't know what you mean by fake and graphics. Look at the two pictures CookiePuss posted just a few posts up from here.

Unblock CookiePuss. He posted some pretty big pictures and explained it pretty well. I don't want to spam the thread with quotes just because you don't want to see his name in the thread when you could just scroll over it instead. This really isn't that hard to understand. understanding "I want to disable the fog because it fucks my performance" doesn't require much brain power. Fog is always on, whether you notice it or not. If you actually manage to disable it you will get an fps boost. There was a thread explaining this whole thing before. I think I remember it had something to do with how the game calculates fog. Also if you disable fog then the uglyass blue filter goes away.
