It's odd that all of these things are not already built in to the game/options, especially seeing how long the game has been out. I'm not a coder or game designer but I can't imagine that would require much effort to implement.

For me it's this: You're told what the objective is but there's like an unlimited number of ways to do it. It's up to you, using any weapon/car/mods setup you like, looking any way you like, in an open map, together with other people/friends. APB is rewarding if you're a tactically creative or creative with design, music, art etc. You get to actually use whatever skills you have as a person. In most other games there's one or a couple of ways to do something only. Not here. There are so many elements which can make the same exact missions feel completely different almost every time you play them. If you get tired of your gun, clothes, theme, colors, car, mods.... you just change it. There's also something about the gun mechanics that I find addictive which is hard to put words on. There's really nothing else like it.

I hope the community takes the chance to show that just like Little Orbit, we too want to contribute to a better, more mature and friendly community. If we help out, everything will be much smoother, things will happen quicker and it'll be a much better experience for everyone. I'll explain what I mean by "help out": Just after LO took over APB, nothing had happened to the actual game itself yet, but the improved general attitude for the future brought back so many players (and some new ones) who enjoyed a better atmosphere than in a long time. The game hadn't changed, but it felt better due to our own attitudes. The game felt a bit more fun again which rubbed off on the general behaviour in the community. It's a good example of what we can do ourselves as a community. It's just a tiny mental shift but it has a great effect. Nothing had happened in "reality"/ in the game (yet). There was a shift in our minds and look at the effect it had, in actual reality. Stop asking too much about your tickets when you know they have a good reason for being swamped. They'll get to it. Let LO do their thing now, be patient, behave, let them work and things will happen.

Yup. I subscribe to the "I believe it when I see it"-approach too

[removed stuff I was wrong about] About double the amount of spawn points would be nice. Car spawners help. As a side note, when you spawn into fightclub after just arriving to the district, you should get to select the same spawn point as if you just died and not the same entry spawn points every time, beause you'll spawn there no matter how close any enemies are.

The thing is that this is exactly the type of ban category that LO said they would not reverse.

I make music some times. Here's one of the songs: You could also follow the link in my signature to hear more.

Ah, that's better. Thanks.

Color information that the crosshair is now on the enemy hitbox is a silly thing to have in a game because it's so easy to make a color triggerbot. BE may prevent scripts of various types or with various functions, but there are ways to get around that too, I'm afraid. With shader editing, changing world colors etc, things like the enemy nametags could be used to make scripted color aimbots (100% external), so this is one reason why shader modifications should be made 100% instantly bannable. I know shaders wont be editable in UE 3.5, but right now they are. Related to this, having an overlay crosshair should just be made an ingame option. People have them built in as features in their monitors anyways. That way people will stop complaining about it being "unfair" and everyone will be on the same boat.

Hm yeah. Looking at those links, I see your point.

E x a c t l y.

Yeah. The way I see it, making manual config edits off limits through BE would require AL to be fully integrated into the APB ingame settings first which would most likely not happen until earliest the 3.5 update (speculating here). EDIT: BUT .. it still means it could be off limits in a not too distant future.

Im thinking: Since the AL will be made to not cause any trouble with BE, then any manual changes to those config files must be white flagged since that's what the AL does, if not another set of rules are applied on top.

I think many of you are forgetting that with Battleye, they won't be able to really cheat anyway. Wouldn't you rather beat their asses now when they can't cheat anymore, rather than not even having them back at all?

LOL I hate that particular lamp post so much

We've already started seeing GM presence in districts and we'll be seeing a lot more of that. Battleye integration for APB is about 75% of the way there. Be patient. It's going in the right direction and it's going to be great

Rest in peace. He's in a better place now.

Well the text itself could just have 0% opacity without there being a block behind it.

Hey, if they change the prices of things I've purchased previously, then I want refunds for the price differences. Just kidding No but seriously, I think we all agree that the current armas prices are too high. An account wide permanent weapon costs as much as a AAA game.

Personally I didn't really enjoy Beacon. Was always a Baylan kinda guy, which I know many find hard to understand

Yes, please!

This looks great
