https://apbdb.com/contacts/?faction=Criminal&organisation=GKings for reference. Completed Tier 3 Grayson Fell, but Arlon Benjamin didn't get unlocked. Question: am I supposed to reach max standing with BOTH of Tier 3 in GKings before I get to Tier 4? Also, does this mean, that it's actually faster to progress with a single organization inside a faction if I want to reach higher tier contacts? Faster - time investment wise, so that I don't waste time on the other organization

Unluckiest screenshot thread
isaac-the-dad replied to isaac-the-dad's topic in General Discussion Archive
Oh what a time waste Oh yeah, it is indeed the same player Merged. Hey, you know-- there is scene during the opening hour of GTAV, when Lamar and Franklin arrive at Franklin's house after finishing a 2 car repo job? And it is here when Lamar says his famous monologue about "yee-yee-*ss haircut" and the famous Inappropriate language removed. - Azukii? The pose in the screenshot is exactly the same as him finishing his monologue lol The char in the screenshot looks kinda similar too -

It's also hanging there as if it's about to like roll on you and you just suicide by vehicle Also, from the perspective of Vegas jumps, this one is very lucky -
Hey guys, wanted to share a pretty unlucky moment with you Here is what happened today: - 3 silvers vs 3 golds - they have completely rolled us to the ground - 2 of my teammates didn't even get the contact standing after 15 minutes of playtime (might've been less) This is amazing just how terrible this is. I was pretty emotional at this point. Question: do you have anything really unlucky to compete with this?

Looking for Advanced player tactics in APB
isaac-the-dad replied to R3ACT3M's topic in General Discussion Archive
I'm not gonna address the entire response for the sake of being brief, but already this - this is valuable idea. You are identifying your problem, you seem to never be able to escape. And the advice that I proposed states that you should strive to exit an open confrontation in a manner that will allow you to preserve your live for very long, and this will count as advanced strategy. Saying this just to reiterate. -
Looking for Advanced player tactics in APB
isaac-the-dad replied to R3ACT3M's topic in General Discussion Archive
I really like this idea, I think it's a great, valuable concept. I also really liked this response, it hilarious I am no vet, but I skimmed through the entire thread and have not found a mention of one concept that I would myself consider to be a useful advice for an advanced player. Here it is: one of the more advanced skills in APB is an ability to pick your fights. Doesn't sound too advanced, now, does it? And I agree, this is the kind of thing that a hypothetical player picks up in the matter of hours ever since starting the game. But in my belief, the skill ceiling in ability to assess the situation and utilize game sense to know when to retreat, avoid and play passively, is, in fact, very high. Now I am going to qualify this statement in the most scuffed and contrived way possible. The advanced technique can not be easily relayed in an algorithmic fashion so that you have a step by step instruction on what to do to be "advanced". But here is how you know you are advanced: do you find your self often in the following situations: - you are never close to the defend objective, but instead are roaming the adjacent city blocks - you have descended into critical damage numerous times during one life, pulling off a full escape and recovery without killing anyone - the enemies that you track and kill never seem to look in your direction and are always occupied with something else at the moment of their death - no more than one enemy ever has a line of sight on you Whenever you find yourself under these circumstances, you must know, you are exercising advanced tactics of picking your fights. This might seem like it's not much and I know that some Gold Threat Rank 255 Captain Sweats-A-Lot is going to slander me for presenting something obvious to him as a valuable advice. However, just for the sake of preserving open-minded-ness, I would like to insist that there is more wisdom and skill to picking your fights than to actual 1v1 stand offs against True Ogre or OCA Nano. It begins with simple realization that if I see 3 enemy Vegas 4x4's with red names above them near a defend objective, then I probably shouldn't stop and hop out and instead I should just drive along and let the objective go. It continues with surviving 4 deaths worth of damage in a single life. It continues with killing your enemies from the most elaborate and unexpected angles. -

Ooooh guys, you won't believe what I am bringing to you! Just this evening, there was A 10v10 in a Financial and it was an absolutely miserable experience! Not sure it's TOO rare, but it's pretty rare nonetheless, am I right? -

Why are districts 40v40 instead of 50v50?
isaac-the-dad replied to isaac-the-dad's topic in General Discussion Archive
yeah, alright, thank you for the answers, guys, I'm not gonna address every single one individually. It's a good point to ask the moderators to close the topic, but I have done so twice over the past 2 weeks and I feel bad, for, like, making them work... -
Why are districts 40v40 instead of 50v50?
isaac-the-dad posted a topic in General Discussion Archive
I first discovered APB: Reloaded in January 2015 and back then, both G1 and 4Game versions had 50 vs 50 district servers. I came back to play it in April 2020 and the district servers were already 40 vs 40. When did this change? And more importantly, why did it change? -

In case if you buy a V20 Jericho Nightrider for the criminal, will you be able to unlock the customizations for it? I sort of expect criminal contacts to not unlock Jericho customizations, so I wonder if this character will be locked out of customizations forever?
