The game just looks a lot darker now because of this ugly black fog that G1 added back in 2013. Actually all they did was change it from being a nice and pretty transparent orange (light pollution) to being a thick very dark blue fog. My personal hatred of this change aside, working headlights would be pretty damn cool when 3.5 comes around. What would be even better is if we could change the color of them. The Horseman's Envegas from the Halloween event has some red Firehawk headlights that look pretty sick, imagine if they actually casted light. I personally prefer the slightly yellowish incandescent headlights over the new bright blueish LED headlights, so the ability to pick the color would be great.

No thanks. It would end up just getting frustrating and APB isn't meant to be realistic, it's meant to be fun. Consider this: You're on a mission, you just grabbed some items that need taken to a drop off, the enemy arrives as you're leaving, they shoot out both tires on the side facing them, you barely have control over the car, it's slowed you enough for them to easily Conc your car, you're dead. Now you have to come back and try to fight them off long enough to grab the items you dropped when your car blew up, you run out of time because the missions weren't balanced with the ability to shoot out tires in mind.

out of weapon inventory space, need devs help
BrandonBranderson replied to slaughs's topic in General Discussion Archive
I'm in the same situation. I'd love for it to be fixed. Had to delete a permanent 2 slot JG to get the Showstopper. I had a 3 slot anyway but that's not the point. -

Battle Royal mode pls no vehicles
BrandonBranderson replied to moxxichixx's topic in General Discussion Archive
Almost immediately he ended up going back on that after a ton of people flipped out because Fight Club the only reason a lot of people still play, and said he spoke too soon without clarifying. He later said that they would replace Open Conflict with Riot instead. I'd hate to see FC go tbh. Be it a mess or not, it's still the only way to get a small 20v20 that starts and ends quickly without having to ready up. Plus it's the only mode my favorite map exists in -
Am i the only dude that dislikes the slow ttk?
BrandonBranderson replied to Gateron's topic in General Discussion Archive
I had a feeling the test districts were sabotaged by Qwentle, and this just strengthens my theory. Thanks for explaining it in more detail. I wonder if he's one of the devs LO has been trying to pick up again? God I hope not. Since the game is in new hands and he isn't around to sabotage this again I'd like it if LO would consider trying it again, but actually do it right this time. I've definitely gotten used to the gunplay after having played for this long (not saying I'm good at all though, I still suck) but I think it could only benefit the game to give it a try. -

Ok. Now I'm REALLY fuckin confused. I know that RTW shut down, that's no secret and I've actually read those articles a long time ago. I'm not trying to debate with you, I'm just trying to figure out what the hell you're talking about. I do want Midtown to be a thing if that's what you're saying. I don't know which of my posts you were replying to because you didn't quote it, I just happened to see my name in your post. In my first post regarding Asylum I just said that I'm curious about how a completely finished Asylum would look if RTW actually had time to finish it. -
Am i the only dude that dislikes the slow ttk?
BrandonBranderson replied to Gateron's topic in General Discussion Archive
I remember a vague post that the community could vote for higher ttk and majority of course said instantly yes So you're saying that you don't really know for sure that the TTK is longer than it used to be? The TTK is pretty much the same as it always has been under G1, shorter than ever if it is any different at all. The problem with that longer TTK thread is that when G1 implemented the test districts (Yes this is the reason the test districts were created in the first place) they did a horrible job. They had RTW districts with the stats from RTW's final version, and one with their own longer TTK stats. The RTW districts were awful because there were just so many oversights in regards to things they changed in the past like the vehicle health values, grenade damage, jump height, etc. Percussion grenades could 1-shot any vehicle, the jump height was about half of what it is now and the recoil was insane. Later they switched it to the original no-recoil which was better than RTW's tacked on recoil imo. I didn't spend much time on G1's high TTK districts because they died pretty quick, so I don't really know how to judge those ones. I remember not liking them though. Can't quite recall what was different though. I think it involved even more RNG but I could be wrong. -

That first picture is just Crackdown. Another good game, but I don't really understand what you mean by the pictures I posted not matching? They were different versions of Asylum from different points in development. I'm pretty sure the ones with the orange sky and heavy fog were teaser pictures from G1 from before Asylum was released. Are you saying they're not Midtown? What is usturoi? I Googled it but it came up as Romanian for Garlic... Asylum Garlic Concept. -
At least it's not Apple who's Iphones are built to break in a year v('~')v Got my Galaxy S5 back in 2014 and it's still going strong with zero issues so far. Before that I had a Sony Ericsson Experia Play (The PSP Phone) that I got in 2011 which also ran on Android, and the only reason I got rid of that one was because the battery started to fail and drain quickly.

Actually I had to send a message to support to get my OBT Vet title a few years ago. Mine wasn't granted to me as an error, so I sent in a screenshot that I took during OBT as proof and they sent me the title. So it's not really just a matter of us not being online during OBT. I and a few others have had to send a message to support about it. I can understand if you can't grant that title anymore though.

Wouldn't ricer stuff be shitty old Honda Civics with a soupcan as a muffler and a body kit that looks like a Hot Wheels car? Scissor doors are usually a more high end thing.

It wasn't the two months you claimed it to be though, they were broken for one month, and they had tried different things within that month to unbreak them. To me it just looks like they got their priorities mixed up with the amount of time it took. And they're not even op anymore so just stop complaining already, Christ. If you want to complain about something at least complain about something that is still a problem. On top of all of that they're new to online games in general, so they probably didn't know how to handle the backlash, probably hesitated because they didn't want to make another huge change to break things even more and cause another backlash. Also please don't write that small, my dinky low res monitor at work makes it look like hieroglyphics if I don't zoom in.

Came back to see the progress
BrandonBranderson replied to Prescott's topic in General Discussion Archive
Lemme just stop you there. Have you actually played since BE was implemented, or are you going off the assumption that "Every cheater was unbanned, so it must be infested"? Just because they were unbanned doesn't mean that they are immune to being banned again. If they cheat again then they get banned again. Simple as that. But this time with a reliable anticheat and nobody is getting banned just because the community manager doesn't like them. Playing the game is actually enjoyable again because of BE. I haven't seen a single speed hacker since BE, and only came across a few who seemed fishy, most of which I never saw again. -

To do or not to do (MIDTOWN)
BrandonBranderson replied to Ellix's topic in General Discussion Archive
dont u dare touch the only thing i love in this world anymore Guess I worded that wrong, I didn't mean I wanted it to become a social district, I just wanted to see what it would have been like had it been finished with the original idea and layout. I want it to stay as a Fight Club too. Tbh, we never really got to see RTW's final vision for it. APB was obviously meant to be a much bigger game with a lot more content, so maybe with the additional locations in the game Asylum would have fit in better. One of the screenshots of it had the old stainless steel APB logo, so it's safe to say that those screenshots were from pretty early on in development. My guess is if they did finish Asylum, it would probably end up being more nightclub-like. -
This would be awesome, and I like the way you started it off Everyone is so worried about what needs to be finished first to the point that no suggestion is important enough to happen soon. If you could bundle clothes together to assemble an outfit set it would make it a lot easier on clan leaders and stuff too. My only concern is the clothing limit, so it won't let you de-bundle it if you don't have enough slots for every item in the box. Or it could be delivered the way full vehicle kits that include the vehicle itself are. If you don't have enough garage slots, you can't retrieve it.

I'd really like to see Asylum in its original form as a social district. Managed to find some screenshots of it from that time. https://imgur.com/a/Wo2EnrH -
You get the unfair advantage of the motivation that theme gives you, whereas the new one puts you in a more depressed mood.

Finally tried a mission after the patch...
BrandonBranderson replied to CookiePuss's topic in General Discussion Archive
Hmm, the getting into the backseat thing... I wonder if they accidentally unremoved(?) that old feature? You used to be able to walk up to any door, and whichever one you were closest to your character would get into. G1 removed it for obvious reasons, but I wonder if LO recovered it by accident or something? On topic, I haven't been getting any stutters or anything. -
Would now be a good time to try to get into Fallen Earth? I've been meaning to try it out lately but haven't had a chance yet.

1. It's your own fault you got scammed. Don't be stupid and trust just anyone. They announced a few months ago that scam tickets would not be responded to anymore because of the upcoming (now live) trade system, and as a way to deter people from trading until the system was implemented. 2. What??? They never said that they would have UE4 finished by December. I think you REALLY misread what they said. UE 3.5 is the only engine upgrade for the NEAR future, and MattScott said that it's his "sincere hope" that they get it done by the end of the year. Saying "sincere hope" isn't a promise. UE4 is being taken care of by a separate team in Australia for the DISTANT future. 3. Again, same as #1, it's your own fault for getting scammed. Stop trying to blame others for your mistakes. Yes they can change the ToS whenever they want, but it's not for some anti-consumer agenda like you seem to think. It's to protect their own a$$ in case players do something stupid and blame them for it.

Thanks for hosting this event IROC, it was really fun It'd be nice if there were more player made events on Jericho. And thanks for the Bullshark :3
