You take that back! Putting on my assumption hat I'm going to assume that since we were given a new event for Halloween and that we are pretty much playing an altered version of the 12 Deaths of Christmas for an autumn event that we may likely get something different for a Christmas Event. Or we get a reskined Pandemic Event where we carry presents instead of barrels and spread cheer instead of toxins and wear elf costumes instead of hazmat suits. At least I'll finally get that green glow in the dark skin I wished for.

I guess you're allowed to have one.

Don't you guys have phones?

That is awesome. Just for that you guys can keep the 190G1C difference, you've earned it. Go treat yourself to couple of pairs of Kilt Socks, on me!

This - I used the AutumnAssault for that delicious 20% off Premium bonus to buy a Name Change but if the sale 20% doesn't stack with the Premium 20% I don't want to waste anyone's time getting a zero-sum refund.

I feel bad for GMs, I have yet to see a GM online without a chain of /r/iamverysmarts nitpicking and one-upping against every syllable they dare utter into /d .

Any chance of during this rebuild you removed the volume slider and defaulted everyone's music to a non-ear-rapey level? Theres a spelling mistake btw Or is it? +1

LO should just replace the Inventory with this; It'll be fiiine.

Only Premiums can yell? My god I've been spending my money in all the wrong places.

I like this idea and agree that the Halloween Event shows that Rank/Threat/Faction really do not mean much in the greater scheme of things in the end we're just one green faction shooting at the red faction. But I'd suggest that if the change does occur it becomes the default not the option; as the Open Conflict shows if players are given the chance to play in a rank/threat/faction free environment they'll pick noob/team stomping over that equal playfield any day. The lore will take a hit which is sad but as long as it doesn't leak into the Mission Districts then I say it is fine player enjoyment > lore at this stage in the game. I just want to add that it sucks being on that 20 side of the 20v9 fight - it is like being in a school of piranhas that goes around in a devouring frenzy at any slight movement in the water and I'm always the slow piranha you never gets a bite. It sucks playing a whole FC mission without getting even an assist and a score of 0. Good catch. I completely forgot about what LTL would do in this situation. DId anyone use it in the Halloween Event? What happened?

They didn't put a /s how am I supposed to know these things?!?! /s You're right though I should not have used the word "worthless". What I was meaning to say is that we attach our own value to rewards because they have no set value since they are "free". And the more effort put into the achievement or the exclusiveness of reward, the more value the item has so selling that item at a fixed cost changes the imagined value we attached to the reward. So with that in mind I can see how players with a Butcher skin would feel cheated if that skin was suddenly available again. It's thinking about WoW which gets me in support of making rare rewards more available. WoW is so full of little snowflake titles, items, pets, achievements, which is great - I sure felt special pulling out my Warbot pet during raids but on the other side I had a huntard friend who managed to snag a Slime as a pet but the silly person never used it, sure liked to brag about it, but never pulled it out. And now they don't play anymore that character and the rare pet are lost forever never to be used again and it's just sad WoW is full of those little snowflakes on abandoned characters. What's the point of cool stuff if no one around is going to use it?

I like the idea of titles as unique rewards, but like WoW you'll get players who will put the same value in those titles as some do with skins. Having a title over an outfit can be as meaningful to a player as a skin or headgear or symbol. It all boils down to what value the players are putting into these gifts. Some might be like "Hey this reward I got has been valued at 999G1C on ARMAs, guess I just saved money" but others might be like "Wow, I could have skipped all those tasks and just spat out 999G1C, now I feel worthless." This is actually worth thinking about it related to what I said above, if something is free than it is relatively worthless yeah? But then if players are willing to be strung along on a wild goose chase to earn that same worthless plate doesn't that put value behind said steaming pile on a plate?

I see merits on both sides. It sucks wanting to be a special snowflake when those in charge can just recycle your reward(s) or sell it on ARMAS. Suddenly that title, skin, weapon loses its significance - at least if being the only Forever Alone on the server is what drives you. It sucks missing out on special snowflake rewards because they were only available for a certain period after doing certain tasks. Life sometimes sucks and you shouldn't be punished just because you couldn't dedicate x hours into APB back in 2016 - at least if being a collector who wants to Catch them All is what drives you. But no matter what happens to these rewards there is one thing they can't take away and that's the sense of Pride and Accomplishment™ we get from earning those rewards. Thanks EA LO.

how about some headphones plus a beanie?

Events are awesome. Butcher was awesome.This is awesome. Well, they say that it is every district, so I'm assuming a district of just you and a good friend (can I be your friend) may work?

Yes! Did you know the drains make a gurgling sound? Gurgling in the streets of San Paro!

Is that NDA over yet? I say right now Little Orbit is doing great, they're so bright eyed and keen to please. They're doing due diligence and really wanting to both listen and respond to the community but also run a game that gives them a tidy profit to keep the lights on and employees happy. Unfortunately, many will disagree with what I've just said and they disagree a lot louder and a lot more frequently than I can. This hurts Little Orbit and I can see the toxicity of the APB community slowly grind down LO's bright eyed enthusiasm until they either become as closeted as G1 or give APB the cold shoulder and put their energy into their nicer projects.

Whoever downvoted the most reasonable and technically correct advise here is a special someone who needs to be put in a pen and studied for extra chromosomes.

Yeah, there's the fun too. All in all this event has been great, despite the different way of earning progression, it has been really fun and I will miss it when it disappears. Although whether part of the fun was due to it being a fairly active event thanks to the daily progression style or not I can't tell. On the flip side had the weekend warrior types been able to bang out all ranks of the epidemic event in a weekend, no doubt the fuller time players would have gotten it done in the first few days too, so maybe that would have made for a dead event once the weekend arrived. I'll never know, really, unless the event is extended and we see a massive drop in players as more and more complete their epidemic rank and have little incentive to keep playing.

Vehicles with a barrel inside should have counted as a "barrel carrier". Would have made that task way more productive towards the mission. This. There is like very little incentive to play the event after the daily is complete. Helps when progressing alts on their daily, but not everyone has 11 alts so you either quit, go back to normal San Paro, or the option which seems most of the playerbase enjoys; start trolling the remaining players by blowing up friendly vehicles at spawn. I'd like the event to be extended, just because of the cooldown between progression to scratch that completion itch.

No, you just discovered my secret; I don't play APB.

4/20 with rice.
