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.

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.

Perfect

POG WHAAAT Literally laughing my patootie out

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?

I also investigated and heard that Stabba CCG has shady hit detection and this is the main reason for the whole thing being a slog until you move to something else.

Yeah, I wonder if it's a bearable experience to play on EU server from LA...

ooof makes me glad I'm an EU player...

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...

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?

Hey guys why is cop role annoying to rank?

I bought the nightrider and there were only original and nightrider kits available. And for some reason, the skirt - I can have only nightrider skirt and not the original, there is no original... interesting....

Oh noo... you are correct, there is a Mercury kit for 7k Joker Tickets, sold by Ophelia, you are correct

thanks for the answer - I did check and none of the Joker contacts sell Vegas Kits

hey thanks! Merged. How interesting: on Armas, if you buy kits for Jericho, this also unlocks kits for Bishada Rapier... I wonder if it's gonna be the same way with contacts - in that, I will unlock Rapier customization and it will automatically unlock jericho customization...

No need to be so wrathful about it...

Ohhhh thank you for the insight. And for telling me that it's sprint, not run speed. Thank you. This topic can be closed.

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?

I have skimmed through all Tier 2, 3 and 4 criminal contacts at APB:DB (https://apbdb.com/contacts/) but I didn't find the Vegas parts among the unlocks. Merged. Waaaaait a second.... I just found a lot of kits and wheel bundles for Vegas on Armas... And every single item in game says "you haven't unlocked this item yet" instead of saying "Unlocked at level 8 with Lilith Bloodrose" or something... Does this mean that all of Vegas customization is Armas only?....

I have, as many of you have, seen several topics over the last week about cheaters, discussion about configs, launchers and macros and other-- stuff. I didn't really participate in any of the discussion because I feel like it's pointless since the development resources are already occupied with more pressing matters. But this macro discussion got me thinking - do people use macros to carry medium items fast? I am talking about instances when a guy jumps and drops bag and picks it up in mid air. Is this way of carrying bags even faster than just walking? Is a person moving at sprint speed or regular run speed at this moment?

Please, moderators, close this topic.

Yep, I said it - purely optional, hi-end users only. Ask the game to bake all vehicles' UV-mapped textures in double the resolution for that extra detail. Same thing of course applies to characters. I imagine, this is a great candidate for APB 7.4 update in Nov 2032

kewl...

Excuse me, but you didn't really answer my question - what I was wondering is, will it be customizable?

I wonder, can you get a V20 Jericho for a criminal? Okay, I found the V20 Nightrider 4A, but I wonder, if I can have a customizable Jericho V20...
