@MACKxBOLAN -> there you go mate you can watch the entire stream (think he said those car parts are done and will come, he also quite clearly stated that factions will remain): https://www.twitch.tv/littleorbit

Yeah Matt did say that they - thank god - will definitely keep factions so I think you got nothing to worry there mate

Hey Matt, I wonder will the "open world part" of APB get some love down the line? More to do for enforcers, more to do for criminals, including BOTH sides being reliant on the other (i.e. more cops on patrol more gain for the criminals, less cops out, less gain), as well as "drop off" points not spawning right next to where the witnessing happens but on the opposite site of the town for both sides, so we can have MORE chases happening? Oh and if there is any chance that clan groups could be larger than just 4 people? Thanks!

@Azukii - Hey mate, I thought I let you know as well, just in case this comes up again (as I am sure others will also run into this issue eventually). I did uncover what the problem with the vanishing screenshots is: Discord apparently has changed their URL format to fight against being used as a file/image hosting site. This means that discord links are no longer suitable to post images, as the linked images will not show up correctly (i.e. the link gets corrupted).

Screenshot from a short patrol the other day. Note we have been having some issue with image hosting it seems, so part of our old screenshot links seem to have been corrupted and no longer work, we will try to fix that (but those are many and will take time to get all up again).

@Azukii - Thanks for getting back to me about this. It is a very weird issue, as all of our screenshots are hosted on our discord server and then linked here, so they should work (since none of them were actually deleted on our end or moved). Might be that discord changed something? But then again none of the older screenshots have any issues, since they are still displayed normally. Well I guess if all fails we will have to update all the postings and re-link everything. Again thanks for your time mate!

Hi there, I wonder: did something change on your ends forum-wise? We noticed that about 2 weeks ago all of our screenshots on the last two forum pages of our clan thread here on the APB Forum (https://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/13129-lapd-squad-police-rp-clan/page/23/) have vanished. Nothing was changed on our ends and the linked images are actually still accessible on our discord, so they should still work fine here too? I hope you can shed some light onto that issue. Thanks!

Thank you VERY, VERY, VERY much, as that finally means our boys and girls in blue can actually start playing once more and go on RP patrols again!!!

Not sure if that has been reported yet but apparently: "Witnessing" is broken for enforcers!!! It did work before this update, as our clan was still able to witness criminals on the 19th of December 2023, but now this is no longer possible. I just checked myself a few moments ago to confirm that this is really broken -> and yes, I was unable to activate any mission against any criminal doing open world crime (while it did tell me I "witnessed a criminal" it did not start a mission, only got a notification and that is all). This is pretty bad for our police RP clan, as we play this small open world part of the game exclusively and now no longer can do that. So we all hope very much that this gets fixed soon. Thanks!

Screenshot from our patrol the other night, showing the entire clan leadership on duty. Was a blast guys, thanks for coming and of course thank you to everyone who participated in the pursuits.

@KINGANDI360XXX - Thank you for your interest, I will send you a PM as soon as I can. -> Sent!

Like Fox already said above: "Happy Halloween!" to everyone of you who is celebrating - have fun, be happy and most of all stay safe!

LAPD Squad was quite busy with patrols these past days, with new and veteran members as well as friends attending. Thanks to everyone for coming out and participating both on our and the criminal side! Here is a snapshot from last night (from left to right): Officer Rebecca, Sergeant Foxtail, Officer Deckard and Officer Playworld.

@KeyboardCommando / Hauteur: Good to hear from you mate, I do remember our patrols together fondly! Thanks for sharing those screenshots :)

LAPD Squad had time for a patrol last night and due to criminals being active we had quite a few chases, shootouts and arrests. Thanks everyone for coming out and participating!

We from LAPD SQUAD wish a "Happy Easter!" to those of you who celebrate this day.

Today is Wednesday and - if our RL schedule permits (which will be posted our clan's discord channel on short notice, see the link below) - we will hold our usual "LAPD Squad Meet Up"! As always, it will take place in combination with the "Chipp's Car Club" (CCC) player event, which is scheduled after. The starting time for the "LAPD Squad Meet Up" is around 19:00 GMT*. We usually meet up at least an hour before CCC starts and do regular patrols together as well as custom high speed chases (depending on whether or not open world crime is going on). If you want to participate - on the cop or the criminal side - just let us know. For those interested here is our "LAPD Squad Discord LINK". The CCC player event does start at 20:00 GMT* (an hour earlier than it used to be) and the location for this week should be in one of the Waterfront districts (see the disclaimer below). Please use either the CCC Discord LINK or the CCC APB Forum LINK for more details about the CCC event and the specifics about the district's event location. Members of LAPD Squad will again take care of traffic control during the street races after the CCC car show (where participants present their newest customisations). Any other enforcer or criminal interested in helping out - and thus doing something entirely different in game for a change - is welcomed to keep the traffic at bay with us. If you have time to attend, we'll see you on the streets. In any case: Please stay safe out there and use all necessary precautions to stay healthy! ---------------------------------------------------------------- BEWARE: Due to the removal of threat levels (September 2021), and thus threat districts, there could be serious issues with finding a moderately empty server to run events, as only very few servers are available when logging in. This usually means that whether or not any player events can take place in a specified district can only be decided upon on short notice. It is also impossible to say if there are going to be enough free slots for all who want to participate (if the district is not empty). Whether or not those random players present will grief and interfere with the race and traffic control on purpose is also a hit and miss thing at the present. The same issues exist regarding open world crime activities, and it sometimes amounts to pure luck if units on patrol in available districts come across any of those. --------- * Links to a time zone converter, showing your corresponding local time, have been inserted for your convenience.

Thanks Fox, shame though that we completely forgot to do one together with FC as well!
