  1. This..... This I did not know. Thank you for providing a semblance of clarity, this means everything. I think we should vote... What say you .. ? EDIT: Concerning @CookiePuss level of slacking of late..., this has been a concern for many of us. But the majority of us still have faith. I know I do. Best thing to do, is not to forget his birthday. I made that mistake last year.... oh boy..
  2. You're looking at his mustache . Stay on topic goddammit. ... This is important.
  3. And here I thought it was the 25th.. Not gonna tell my kids any different.
  4. This sh*t can't be happening now .... Not now..... Not so close to Chistmas. ....

    Wasp Rejects

    I suppose I owe you guys an apology, specifically PabloTaco. He had reached out to me a few days ago, wanting to know if I wanted to join, sent me a friend request, which I accepted, I hopped onto your Discord (txt only), as I did not want to quit the game in order to setup my headphone & mic. ( I usually play w/ speakers since I'm not talking with anyone) In Discord, PabloTaco welcomed me, I asked a couple of questions, and after no response, and noticing that the channel was called "Wasp-Rejects" I figured I was being trolled. lol Dropped him from my friend's list. My mistake obviously. Haven't been in a clan for a few years, but definitely miss the coordination in missions with Voice Comms. I'm out of town for the holidays, but when I get back, I'll reach out to PabloTaco, and make my appeal. Hopefully he will understand. Who knows, I may very well lose my "highly coveted" max rank Silver status in short order by being in Voice Comms, and coordinating our efforts in mission. EDIT: I did not think that Wasp-Rejects was actually legit, until I saw this post. Haha
  6. @Ketog Although @CookiePuss has stated, that a potential obstacle could be a "Face to Face", the fact that you will be concentrating your job search efforts in the IT industry, does minimize this requirement more so than other industries. In the past, I received 2 job offers (that I accepted) with phone interviews alone. Both large IT consulting firms, that operated almost exclusively with virtual teams, phone calls, emails, conference calls and instant messaging , was the norm. In fact, at one of these IT companies that I had worked for, for 10 years, I never met my manager in person. If "Face to Face" is required/desired by the hiring manager, Skype or other Facetime app/application has become very popular. Indeed website is a great start. I would also highly recommend LinkedIn. Create your LinkedIn profile, search & apply for jobs. Reach out to other LinkedIn members in your desired industry to start building a network, and develop professional relationships. You can settle for a "Standard" LinkedIn membership, or opt for a "Premium" membership. (I believe that it is around $30 a month US... I forgot) I don't remember exactly what added benefits for Premium, but there are quite a few. Create a Template "Cover Letter", as most of your Cover Letters when applying for jobs will have a lot of the same verbiage. This way you won't have to re-write your Cover Letters from scratch, each and every time. Keep in mind that although your Cover Letters may include some of the same verbiage, each of these letters will differ, as they are also tailored for that specific job. One challenge that you may be faced with, is that some companies in Canada may pass you by without a review, because they do not want to cover your relocation cost. (not knowing that you will have that covered) And yet if you disclose in your Cover Letter that "you" will be covering relocation costs, you might miss out on an opportunity where a company was actually willing to cover these costs. I am not sure how to advise with that one. Anyways, best of luck in your job search.

    Cheating

    @MattScott appreciate the communication and transparency with an issue that plagues all online games, APB not excluded. It has been apparent in APB for as long as I have played. (2011) Kind of difficult to brush it under the rug, or "add it to the pile", as it were. Like, it hasn't been a constant battle/issue for the last 7+ years. lol, and in any other online game. APB not excluded. Quotes from fellow forum members that have tried to help alliterative our fears over the last 7 years. 2011 - "I very rarely encounter any cheaters since ....... " 2012 - "I very rarely encounter any cheaters since ....... " 2013 - "I very rarely encounter any cheaters since ....... " 2014 - "I very rarely encounter any cheaters since ....... " 2015 - "I very rarely encounter any cheaters since ....... " 2016 - "I very rarely encounter any cheaters since ....... " 2017 - "I very rarely encounter any cheaters since ....... " 2018 - "I very rarely encounter any cheaters since ....... " One can only imagine a "somewhat" clean game with minimal infractions and a decent matchmaking system so that competitive gameplay was actually a "thing". Would the rate of new player retention increase ? Would there be more monthly Premium purchases ? Would be nice. Looking forward to future efforts.
  8. Title: customer service can't read OP, are you saying that you had submitted a support ticket recently, and have not received a response ? You did not provide much information regarding your experiences with support, if this is what your complaint is about.. We are at a loss.
  9. I don't personally have any opinion on this topic, but can honestly tell you that I cannot refresh this page fast enough.
  10. Hmmmm, very interesting. Very interesting indeed. This topic may very well be worth 5, or perhaps 6 pages of replies at least.
  11. Possibly. Interestingly enough, 1 day after making this post, the problem went away. Odd.. Was not a huge deal, just a minor inconvenience.
  12. I have a Patriot Vegas G24 that I bought with Joker Tickets. 4 slot open ... Is the Patriot Vegas G20 - Mercury Kit via Joker Tickets, compatible with the G24 ... ? Much thanks.
  13. I have heard a lot of good things about the SWARM , haven't tried it myself. If there is a short lease on this via JT , I may try it.
  14. It is encouraging to get some feedback from those players "That Know".... that the cheating problems, whether from paid hacks, or the simple Macro Auto-Fire, No-Recoil, Triggerbot has been cast into darkness since the magic bullet of Battle Eye has come into play. or was that since Punkbusters ... ? or Fairfight ... ? I admit, I get the timelines confused. I also disregard those discussion on other forums of "Bypassing BattleEye", for I now know that these must not be true. Thank Gawd...... Although, I do remember these same montages that were sung during the early years of Punk Busters and subsequently Fairfight. Sigh.... And no, not all of us were singing together in jubilee. I want to believe the Nay Sayers, I really do. And yes, I have listened to their spiels fervently for the last six years. We need to "git gud"... Haha.. That's it ? That's the answer ? Christ Sakes, I am such an idiot .... Haha... Sometimes, sh*t so obvious, it actually smells like sh*t. lol Anyways, always good for a laugh. Much thanks.
  15. Whenever I take a break for 5-10 min, from either the mission District or Fight Club, I return to the Lobby. This was to avoid "auto Kick" for inactivity, forcing a re-log. I come back, I'm in the Lobby, I'm still logged in..... all is good. I have noticed in the last 3-4 weeks, I take a break and go to the Lobby, come back, and, I have been logged OUT. I need to login again. (I was never logged out of lobby before) Feature or BUG ? If this is a question that needs to be submitted to support, no problem. Mods, @Lixil, please advise. Regards
  16. Glad to see this post resurrected... haha I actually went with N-SSW 74 Dvah, and absolutely love this gun. HS3, Extended Mag , and swap back an forth with either IR2,3 or CJ2 or 3. BTW: My Machine Gunner role is at a healthy Rank 16. Used the ALIG and SHAW quite a bit over the years, just cause I like LMG. For me, the N-SSW 74 Dvah has been an all purpose weapon, with a concentration on Mid to Long range. I am curious why you promote the HB3 "Decreases weapon damage by -15%" But Why ? What advantage were you seeing ? Not me "ese". Like I said, I was trolling with the ALIG and SHAW for quite some time. Maxed out my Machine Gunner shortly after I got the N-SSW 74 Dvah. It's kind of my goto primary atm. Thanks for all the feedback.
  17. Many of us are waiting patiently for Tickets to close, This is our patient demeanor. For the lutz..
  18. Ahhh, the proverbial "Video or it did not happen" scenario. The OP provided no information , concerning the alleged inflammatory symbol... No Sir... I was NOT introducing a possible scenario.... and no, I do not believe as of yet, in the history of APB, that ANYONE, would have even thought of wearing a German uniform with a Swastika. God strike me dead with lightning .... WTF ??
  19. Yes, otherwise @JudgeAnderson , you will be held accountable. lol
  20. Ahh, I hear ya, yeah, California is a mess. And you outlined their governmental leadership, or lack thereof (both federal,state and local) pretty accurately. I's kind of sad. I had visited San Fransisco a few times many years ago, beautiful city back then, now, it's literally gone to sh*t. (literally... in the streets) With the severe water restrictions in most areas, I always wondered why they never built 1 or 2 desalination plants. (they're right on the ocean .. lol) But given their mismanagement of state's budgets, I suppose it's no wonder. Sorry to to hear this. EDIT: I hope you're not near any of the wildfires there, and that you and loved ones are safe.
  21. Huh ? I'm still trying to understand, so you're one up on me. I had added an edit to my comment previously concerning "walking a fine line", which might clear things up. A player who wears a German uniform with a backwards Swastika or displays that symbol on their vehicle, a Japanese symbol as you had pointed out, are they considered as someone "walking a fine line". Is that player trying to provoke a response ? Do they have a specific agenda in mind ? Or they just love Japanese culture. One can only guess what that players true intentions are.
  22. Not sure. Although I would not put it past some players to "walk a fine line" with regards to controversial symbols. Wouldn't be the first time. If the player used the Buddhist symbol on a German Nazi uniform, then you could guess that they were trying to push the envelope as it were.
