  1. There is no skill in online shooters instead it comes down to how close you are to the server, how good internet connection you have and how performs your PC. THE END You can be the biggest idiot and still land kills because the enemy even tho shoots you first lags out and doesn't land jack shit compared to you.
  2. In their defence the library is limited and completely tone deaf. So it's hard to make anything normal. Unless it's a generic piano tune so you don't notice the cringe shits of the other libraries. I still vote for a option to mute these completely. Options are always welcome but looks like the people who made this game struggle with options, it's been 10 years we still didn't got this simple necessity of muting things. And the people who made-used mods for it also got banned. Looks like one of this game's objective is to go on peoples nerves, go insane and make us deaf.
  3. I'm fine thanks for asking. Sad? So the truth and reality makes you sad? Well it's ok, you just have to work harder. There wont be always people and tools around you to put things under your patootie everytime you need something. Neither these bot created abominations nor your drawing is worth 500 not even a penny, so get off your imaginary elitist high horse. Learn to do actual art or move on. Not sure how you can't understand the simplest things I've said. That said I am done repeating myself.
  4. Thank you for the info and insight. I remember following that project then suddenly it just vanished. I don't remember the website, names, just most of the progress. It's common that most people start with editing already existing materials, games etc, mainly doing mods to learn things then later move onto their own original projects. It's better that way because it's unrealistic to fiddle with someone's IP when there is no support from it or even can result in a legal backlash mainly thanks to greed. Time flies, life is short and people should really think first what to venture into before it becomes a sinkhole. Our dreams and needs are one thing but reality is what makes things actually happen. I gladly would like to see proper fan made remasters because in most cases companies can't do it or wont, it's mainly lack of passion or simply a dead franchise but if that same fan can get into trouble for it then I rather keep the originals, play those or move on and hope one day there will be a proper remaster or remake, sequel etc. that can bring the old glory back. I personally worked on some mods or just helped out really and mostly it came to the point we had no control over it and we lost all our progress, if I knew the company will be so evil about it I would never invest my time into it. I wont mention the names, games etc due to several reasons. I got burned out so much in wasting years of work for nothing, I didn't wanted money out of this just to make fans happy and give reason for them to enjoy the game because the base game was broken and unplayable but had a great concept and tools. Companies not just burned down our work but their own products into nonexistence etc. I see this happening more often with others too. So the point is I always say learn on others mistakes and learn to move on. Make your own thing or just do something else with your life. We simply don't have control over certain things and that is it. Btw where can we find info on that game you guys work on, is there any progress shown publicly or it's all private at the moment.
  5. That is not your character, the image you saved is just a placeholder material from which the image pulls information from upon manipulation. I tried uploading around 20 different people and got this material image in most cases. So it's just a material not a actual result. Besides it doesn't even look like your character. Seem like many of you didn't learned anything in art class in your school, for example when it comes to proportions or projection or anything. But then again chances are younger generations don't even have art classes at all or they have something that cannot be really called like it. So it's kinda not entierly your fault... Anyways messing around with this program I found out there is tons of flaws in it. Learn to make art, express your self in your own way not how a robot thinks you should do it, or if you are lazy just higher a artist or simply move on, this tool needs tons of work to be useful in anything. Considering they are asking money for it it's just a big scam really. As most these websites really are just that.
  6. Didn't count, obviously but sometimes it fills up quite fast. Lots of my friends had this same issue while they still played the game. Our bet goes on low memory ram, I only have 8 gb ddr3, some friends have less and in most cases what I already have open in the background fills it up alongside apb, so apb starts writing memory on hdd until it fills it up and shits it self and crash everything. Today for example I left my character in social and was busy all day so I didn't had the chance to come back and close the game. When I came back I had a frozen screen and when I wanted to go to the end task menager a log in screen of windows shown up with a popup message that there has been a error on my pc with a apb exe and some codes, it opened four pages and upon closing them all it restored my system back to normal. Friends who have more ram never had this issue or very rarely. Besides I am sure apb crashed due to other things before too so... So that is it.
  7. I didn't, people said yes there is a preview option in the store. What I said is that the same items are available in the wardrobe kiosk where you customize items, you don't even have to go to the Joker store for most of them and can preview everything in detail instead of that regular broken and small market preview with resolutions for ants... And no one mentioned this, I went through posts now and no one mentioned it. So you're welcome... Also related to this, I noticed when I go through the market place previewing items it creates big chunks of temporary files that don't get deleted until the game is closed completely. And this often crashes my game. I have a (for today's standards) small 1TB system SSD that is more then half full and it fills up quite fast. So it's not enough that is a small preview also it ironically creates big file sizes for it... Quite often I have to restart the game, tried even minimizing the game and deleting catchefiles but that way most of it is still up and protected you cant delete them. And no I wont buy a new bigger drive just for APB can fill that one up with same crap... plus I don't have the budget for such stupid things. PC is way too expensive for what you get so don't feel like investing in it in the next ten years unless something dies out on it... But even then it will be a budget build not a crazy "gaming" rig besides again I don't feel like wasting money building something just to be able to play a 11 year old game.
  8. Hopefully those cars will be finally introduced in the engine port or with other words in the new upcoming version of APB. And eventually made kits for it. There are no more excuses. The old engine is a mess I get it and is limited what it can handle but still, kinda sketchy that those cars just sit there from day one. This updated game should introduce us to tons of new opportunities. Not just the game to look prettier and have more accurate lighting.
  9. I am not sure what you're onto but that website is up and didn't had a single change for years now. Also all this riot thing isn't anything new just a recycled game mode from 2011. People didn't liked it then and seems like next to no one liked it now and that is why that game mode got shut down once again. It's been already two years now? Not sure anymore. But yeah, not sure what will this bring in the future but hopefully something that isn't broken and worthy our time. Because this and those reskined last 4 years halloween events were not really worth anything. I wish I never played them... The only memorable fun thing was when Asylum was finally fixed (but later they managed to break it again) and later the headless horseman was fun. And the number of people participating further proves the point.
  10. In some cases the social chat is filled with people who would probably like to do most insane things as once seen regulary on motherless, dont know if that website even still exists and wont try to even figure it out if it is but if you know what I am talking about then that reference is enough. So those people obviously don't have the guts to do anything in their life so they roleplay sick things in social chat thinking it's ok to do so. Next to that is glorifying nazies and related crap. So that is toxic enough and considering I blocked those individuals even reported few at least we can channel those things out. But the thing is this shouldn't be even the issue if those kids would have some parenting or help to beginwith.
  11. First of all great work and keep up the good work. Don't listen to the negative driven people. If anything you can always convert this to your own projects and use it future. By swapping materials and models so you don't get a legal backlash. Other then that it's pretty much yours. Also I ma pretty sure you are learning new things along the way which will come in handy in the future. I do believe I've seen your works somewhere before and those forums are now closed because I can't find it any more in the bookmarks or those were from someone else. Someone made new content and ported the entire APB to a newer version of Unreal Engine. But eventually got a backlash from G1 or something can't remember. It was around 2017. And these were a part of it. Also I can't believe it that those old Subaru variants and Peugeot hatchback is still in the game files. What were G1 waiting for to release those... Missed opportunity. Even if they would be just props or civ cars. I always hated seeing materials sitting on our hard drives but never used for anything. Hate wasteful things.
  12. We locally have this joke for ages that goes like this "you need a trophy for your stupidity" or when someone said "you deserve a trophy" it was in a negative way, so I guess the trophy on here too is the new downvote
  13. Tried Asylum last week and there were two or three low rank players using the regular ntec, One in particular was way obvious he used some exploits. What was odd about them is that they didn't even aim at you properly you already fall dead. No matter the distance, cover or anything, related to the actual weapons mechanics. The bullets sprayed way too fast and hit you, no miss, there was no bloom or anything he just sprayed like crazy and you are down. Also it took four to five others too shoot at him at the same time to take him down like he had almost infinite health or switched it on or off at times when it was obvious he is in god mode. At first I thought the weapon is broken and tried it myself safe to say my bullets were going all over the place and couldn't land any hits as he did. Ntec is something you tap, you don't hold the trigger like crazy this guys ntec didnt worked like that at all. Same thing with Ursus. The weapon already is nerfed not sure why they bothered to nerf it once again. What they need to do is get rid of these cheaters not nerf weapons... Anyways quit after collecting the bronze reward and never went back to it, Even that was a stretch and wasted time for basically nothing. I am not a masochist to get raped by such individuals so wont be bothered to play against them.
  14. For those who don't know the clothing items are also visible and obtainable through the regular wardrobe kiosk or clothing kiosk, whatever is it's name... In the add new clothing item option scroll to the bottom and you can find them all there. The bundles obviously are not here but most single pieced ones are so you can zoom in and out etc and see every clothing piece in detail and if it's compatible with your outfit or not. Very helpful option and glad this finally exist. Btw it would be great to be able to sort inventory items by the name because I waste too much time going through items by the time I find it since not sure what really is the current sorting way of thing. it goes on my nerves since the start and wonder how this was never addressed so far.
  15. Me too. I mentioned this to someone not so long ago and they were like "there are no floodlights on Jericho" then I realized, right, what he meant that is a crim part item... There goes the option for me to own a custom car like that @Novived I will activate the pack soon as I will have more time for customisations, and hopefully there will be a car in there. At least that since the gifting/selling option is gone.
  16. Game use to be completely unplayable at one point and have top 80-50 players and was still online for years. The game, ignoring it's basic issues, could be playable today if the community would be more normal and new players wouldn't be raped by tryhards and in some cases obvious cheaters, on all servers, be it gold, silver, bronze or green. And not teamkilled by others during or off missions just because they are new to the game... Seen it plenty of cases where team starts killing each other instead of helping out new players till one of them gets kicked off the game or lose the mission anyways. This isn't playing this is wasting your pathetic life on nothing and wasting others too.
  17. Mod community kept Battlefield alive for years. Same goes for GTA. If there was not support for this GTA4 and 5 would never exist down the line. The community hosted GTA5 modded servers are what made sell and keep selling this originally piece of shit game. Soon as the companies shit on their consumers and mod community the very same franchise of theirs became dead or went to the direction that you can call it dead. Gaming in general came to the point where back in the 90s we were happy to call ourselves gamers and in the passed 10 years what majority of the companies and "gamers" are doing many just don't want to be associated with it anymore or simply quit. Because it's too big of a strain. It's time for a huge restructure and change for the better. Because this zombie state isn't going anywhere.
  18. I know about them from long ago. Did some research to refresh my memory also when what was released. But the thing is how do you expect to put those kits on a car that cannot be unlocked on the enforcer faction. Do you understand what is the issue here? My reward doesn't tell me I have the "Customizable 4-Slot Vehicle: Bishada" included and don't want to activate my item for nothing. Because the item is timed, isn't permanent. I don't play missions and certainly wouldn't use this car for such things. I did fightclub and wouldn't use it there too even tho I am finished with that thing. I just want to customize things as a form of entertainment. FC became a drag too and I got what I was looking to unlock for JT, I can live without the rest I wanted... Lately I fancy the idea of just customizing cars, other things and selling few. I even gave some away to new players while I had money for it in a span of 3 months back, to help them out in these weird times. Would like to make personal Kissaki for myself to keep it for random meets etc. If I earned it as a reward I want to actually feel it as a reward. Not sure how to explain this really... Every person is different and likes different things. I like my rewards to be permanent because I like to own my things.
  19. Few years ago I got Kissaki kit for one of my accounts in this case my enforcer character, as a reward (don't remember what was the occasion) but didn't activated it because I realized really quick that enforcers still don't have a Bishada as a unlockable car. So I asked back then G1 what is the deal with that and as in most cases back then I didn't got any answer or the answer was completely irrelevant or simply link to the armas shop which also is useless pretty much because this variation wasn't available in armas and far as I checked it still isn't. This is coming from the darkest age of APB where support pretty much didn't exist. So this is sitting on my account for years and now dug it out again and I wonder if I can do something with it or kiss it goodbye. Same question applies for other cars that are restricted and many people got these random kits but not sure about the cars. Some got the cars with it some didn't and if a enfo can't get a bishada or a crim cant get a V20 then what is the point getting the kits for the opposing faction. It would be great if we get a car that we can modify and then sell it or gift it. If it's locked character bound then in this case this is completely useless and I wish we got something else instead as rewards. Also was thinking for example if it's account bound then I can make a crim and maybe use this kissaki kit there anyways? So people what is your experience with this, did anyone remembers this, got one of these and did you manage to get this working somehow or should I just forget it.
  20. I think you're onto something. Most players already had insta loaded in but the game struggles with it. Makes sense. Maybe a slower loads will fix this. Come to think of it this could be implemented in action districts instead of game stuttering like shit while being around someone. Especially on mission around an enemy. I rather see a floating blob until the game loads fully in then a enemy player that just stutters the shit out of my game rendering me useless during missions, fightclubs, etc.
  21. I doubt they accumulate that high score in a span of week because last time I checked the FC got reset and only less then two hours since the server was back on some players already had around 60k. While me entering it at that moment I spent 4 hours on the damn thing that day and got barely half way to silver. Most times first mission paid me 1k if I did kills or objectives or not same crap, it have zero outcome in payouts and the premium money doesn't even count like it did years ago. Then the other missions dragged on forever. There is no skill just spamming triggerbots, p2w crap and explosives and pray for the best, one gets payout the other doesn't. That is not playing a game instead it's wasting time on toxic garbage and supporting the same. Also just remembered that I also last time in Asylum got spawnkilled to the point my team quit. Which is a more common thing in Baylan. The last time I tried to get gold I spent almost a week everyday for hours mostly getting 0 payouts or some chum change. The final score I got was in that week was 29K which was barely enough to get gold. Safe to say never again will I waste my time on this. Then there is ammo spent. I don't play missions, not that they pay out more anyways. There are also 30+ minute missions and can be dragged forever then get 5k payout with premium is just pathetic. Or when you get raped by tryhards and other psychotics you get 0$ or maybe if the game is generous you get 100$ for your hard work of avoiding getting spawn fucked everytime or chased by them. So instead I had to sell crap on mp just so I get some money for ammo. Which can also waste additionally my time to do anything there too. "30 minute sessions" is just one mission if extended it can go forever. Or if it's a short one. 10 minutes a mission lets say without no extensions this time, with next to no payout is still a pain and pointless, anything a normal person want to waste time on. How can this be extended some might ask? Take a marker from opposition then camp it forever. Instead of just losing the damn thing and get paid out some griefing tryhard idiots just keep extending the already annoying mission. It can drag for an hour sometimes more like I already mentioned my older experiences. Also god forbid to take a break without losing some score or getting kicked out and losing the whole 30min mission. Which I also mentioned as one of the flaw. Some people lose track of time so they don't even know wtf is happening and how much they wasted hours on, for a change I do have a track of time and soon as a 10 minute mission drags on even for it's double it's too much to be bothered with. So those daily 30 minute sessions are a fairytale, not reality. Even tho not every one can camp this game everyday. Last two times I played Baylan, we got spawn killed to the point my team quit and the opposition soon after left the map too. It was abandoned for days now again. In conclusion instead of fixing this game LO simply added a option to buy JT just to further milk the game and not bother looking into anything ...XD So don't worry all this will also fix the constant decline of playerbase... So even talking about this is a waste of time really because this game needs a complete overhaul anyways.
  22. 7?? > 12 years of APB and 10 years of Reloaded. In 2011 it was ok-ish working on Pentium4s and that gen of dualcores. Then near the end of 2012 throughout 2013 it was unplayable for most of us no matter the specs unless you were in the anus of the servers or a masochist to deal with it and get glorious actual 25-30 fps... Then bearable again in 2014 then probably in mid 2015 again unplayable no matter the settings, where fightclubs only had decent fps. Later in 2017 fixed and till now we can somewhat get normal performance on quads which is a bonus for this game. LO is doing a good job compared to what this project use to be for the passed 12 years.
  23. It's been two years and seeing the state of the ported game give them another year to finish the port. Just my prediction. but wouldn' be surprised if drags on for two years. This game is a pile of mess afterall.
  24. "when the game was glorious" this game was never glorious. It was unplayable for the majority of instances. The only realistic good statement for it that it can get is that it was bearable at one point and we gave it a chance then left when it became unplayable again. Now that LO is actually doing something with it people wait directly or indirectly to see the results. And for the drops of new players thank it to the fake gold tryhards that basically no new players and greif them to the point they leave in a day or two sometimes in a moment. Because most people are normal and not masochist to put up with this idiotic behaivor. I gave some new players a better car or other things, mods to boost them, teach them things but when they can't get around of 99% getting OP tryhard ignorant idiots as opposition and teammates that are killing them just because they are new, they have no choice then to sit in social till that becomes stale too or leave the game forever and move on. New players get insta moved to the most populated servers which are bronze or silver that mostly are populated by dethreaters and griefers. They don't have time to even finish the tutorials properly without getting bullied. I remember the days when we welcomed new players be it team or opposition but this new generation of degenerets know nothing about making actual friends instead just bullying, talking mindless toxic garbage in chat and shitting mostly on new players, showing how "dominate" they are but reality is they are coward nobodies in real life and equally nobodies in the games. Forever alone ignorant idiots who don't know any better nor are willing to learn anything. Pissing their own life away and spreading that toxicity onto others. Later when some serious happens they pull a victim card like it will solve anything.
