neophobia

I think the last thread about GMs was closed for a sound reason, discussion was getting out of hand - well anyway, Let's not derail this too much Nice person? 10/10 gogol High postcount? LilyV3 for GM? uhh... Nah, I guess Asger is a bit of a quirky person etc but he seems nice and reasonable enough. I mostly agree with who you listed though. While Esther might not be the least unconfrontional person I ever saw in the forums, they definitely are very ambitious and seem to want the best for the game. Just throwing them in here. The question is though: Would those people even want that? Idk which ties etc you have when becoming a GM. I think we shouldn't go ahead and nominate people for GM (well I just did that... whoops) - volunteering should come from themselves and not because others said they'd be fit. Sure, it might be a cool move if LO could step forward and ask people but I guess that'd make the GM position feel even more entitled, since you were DESIGNATED by them. But sure, it's kinda good to nominate/vouch for people so LO has some kind of assistance when selecting the people who applied... I guess they also have their own criteria. Another criterion can't hurt though I suppose. Anyway. Yeah.

*not quoting Majiik* (I never notice that there are two i in there, sorry) Ah, fairs fairs, I just wondered because you were on the admintracker but not there. Seems reasonable.

I only have one. :^) Please read what I wrote before: I added the others to those 6 (and put a link to my custom tracker in, with those added, along with the pictures on how to add them.) Or do you mean on the stafflist? That would be weird, since there are 5 "admins" and the rest of them are mods. To be fair, for some reason Majik isn't on there

There is a staff list with them: https://forums.gamersfirst.com/staff/ And there are no mods on the admintracker becasue it is... well, an admin tracker, not a mod/staff one. That's just the usual thing companies have. Normally people who use an admin tracker, do so to get news etc. and not to look at all the threads the mods closed - I suppose. Unless they want to just put doubt in all of their decisions... I guess it's good to not let them roam freely (aka "control" them) - which probably shouldn't be the job of the community to begin with. Whatever. Anyway! There you go: Idk if you can see this, but I created this stream for myself (well not for myself but just cause you asked) It's not hard to add members to an existing stream and save it then. https://forums.gamersfirst.com/discover/15/ You can also do this to actually see specific kinds of content... etc.

First of all - you don't own the account, so I guess it is upon their jurisdiction about what to do with it. I guess they could even ask you to pay the money and immediately reban you. (Though they should've unbanned you before atleast.) (And it definitely wouldn't add to their credibility so it is not in their interest to do so. Just pointing it out) Second thing: Can't directly quote locked threads so: I guess you are lucky since it was solved before, just pointing it out. I guess the response should cover that bit too.

Advanced Launcher modifies game files - that was the issue. Any credible macro/mouse/keyboard software etc doesn't. It doesn't hook into the game either etc. To detect software macros it would also need to scan all your running processes. Not very nice. Even then, they couldn't really detect what those softwares are used for. When I had a shit keyboard, I just used AHK to map music controls to key combos. Apparently PB banned for just having that very software active - I never got but who knows. Also, Logitechs Software unifies Keyboard/Mouse/Headset stuff, so just banning based on having that active? Please. This would only lead to false positive controversies like e.g. Destiny 2 vs Discord and enable people to make claims about their bans being flawed (they will do anyway tho) And then there are macros that get stored on the mouse - e.g. A4Tech does that, BattleEye couldn't detect that. I don't think macros+macrousers are nice etc but don't overdo it. Closets who just want a small edge are definitely an issue. But we can talk about that, once we got rid of the blatants rerolls who definitely are a more urgent one.

this covers like 90% of what they said so far i don't think an ETA was among that - I won't read that again rn. A short quick search yielded no results. some officials also use discord occassionally but a) you shouldn't bother them (too much) and b) i wholeheartedly doubt they will give out their plans unofficially also a roadmap should be coming this week? i think. keep a look out. (no source to link rn sry) You might also wanna keep an eye out for: https://forums.gamersfirst.com/discover/6/

They said they will basically unban 99% of currently banned players once they introduce BE (next big patch)

Happy birthday @SKay... oh wait. Good to see you back I suppose. Why were you even banned to begin with? I've heard the most ridiculous things but I'm still up for another shocker ( :^) )

possibly allowed/10 i guess i like little orbit so far so i'd give you a perfect 5/7

which server? when i played on citadel the other day it was completely fine and the issues with jericho seem to have started (again) yesterday if i saw correctly, i haven't heard/seen complaints on the days before

Tbh I expected Defqon.1 and not Qlimax xd Can't say I listened to Hardstyle in a long time but that voice lmao Just classic innit xd

neat - but this is gigantic, cheesy crust.

Most of this was posted in another thread by me already but probably the wrong section (was more about issues there) - Please add spoilers again - the hover/mark black text to read kind or the normal expand/deflate ones like in the old forums (prefereably the latter for vids, gifs, big pics) I know, I know, your eyes bleed when having a bright theme but... While there are makeshift solutions, such as this :^) : Having an official light theme would be quite nice, especially also on mobile (which isn't too convenient to do yourself otherwise). Idk, I just prefer it a lot. Probably cause I'm used to books? Who knows.

I feel like this belongs to https://forums.gamersfirst.com/forum/7-game-forum-suggestions/ And I'd rather vote for a hidden one where people can't boast about + boost their ego with... Or where others are discouraged cause they see some highranks. Open Conflict felt nice in that regard. However the old one with announcement was quite baddass I gotta say xd Threat segregation only caused issues for APB. The old penalty-system - as in: get 20% or even less rewards when you play in lower districts used to work quite well unless people just wanted to farm weapon roles...

I did something: It's not perfect but might help. I added some other issues I encountered to the OP.

Isn't that just the same as before? Click "Quote", go down to the box, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, "Edit", Ctrl+V? Works for me. Was there an easier way in the old forums xd (ye you could make custom quotes etc but you can do the same here in the editor - except name + timestamp)

Reshade changes the shaders (not in the files I think but also by injection - both might be an issue, injection might be worse). They said something about this: Q: [Custom] Shaders and certain configs, will they be allowed back into APB? A: I feel like that this would be a super slippery slope, to say we’re gunna allow custom shaders or changes to the game. Now having said that, I do think we need to make these options available in the game, we need to put them in. We need to allow players to change the colour of the crosshair for low accessibility, and low processing reasons (Editorial: He meant low processing power.). That’s something that we should be putting in. While we appreciate the community doing the leg work, we feel it should come from our side, because it’ll not only look better, it’ll come from us, it’ll work properly and won’t be flagged by our anti-cheat. It’s a slippery slope to say “sure, you can mess with the components of the game”. It seems like they don't mind themselves (unless), the anticheat might flag+ban you though. (And I honestly doubt support will help you more than once then.) They'll see what they can implement themselves etc., I guess.

You can always ignore them, this mutes their themes In general though... uhhh... ye same. Would be nice if there was an option to disable those. Probably would take a bit away from the game, would be sad (if it wasn't for the single note "troll" ones) but ye. If you also forbid advanced launcher/removing/moving subfolders of APB, I'd like to have the option to completely disable ingame videos, takes aways quite some load time Also: I feel like this rather belongs to https://forums.gamersfirst.com/forum/7-game-forum-suggestions/

Ye, I totally agree with you, just saying. You can't even click below a quote to continue writing if you delete a bit too much underneath by just holding backspace (atleast on mobile) Rather troublesome.

https://forums.gamersfirst.com/announcement/3-forum-rules/ "Do not bump a topic unless needed." It's been a day lul. I guess the title thing wasn't intended to begin with... I'd like to have a non-wysiwyg editor too though, although it doesn't have to be BBCode specifically, just saying. Bumps weren't condoned in the old forums either... (Just a headsup, no offense. Count it as another bump xd) Also: Spoilers I said it in another thread, I mis s them

Ah yes, I guess i'll make an own thread for this: A more customizable version of the preset is close to the theme Tobii made - but: You can do "atrocious" things like this to make your eyes bleed: Or pretty + aesthetic things like this! Download: https://userstyles.org/styles/160572/apb-forum-minimal-customizable (You need Stylish, which is available for Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Android (and various other Chromium and Mozilla based browsers)) Some things might look weird with some colors because of the layout of the forums. I did not add pickers all different things (I bet), if you encounter issues, let me know and I'll get on them right away. I did not remove all shadows yet but made some improvements for consistency though (e.g. edit/quotebuttons). I'll remove some borders, shadows and add some more things to customized if people are interested. DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage you might do to your eyes. Customization is done here, after pressing the encircled button: Finally you can have something that fits the best Discord theme!

Doing the unforgivable sin but actually doubleposting: I added a bit for the edit/quotebar now too, the buttons are not white anymore. Just added .ipsItemControls > ul > li > a, .ipsItemControls > button Ah damn, how did you do that the website actually starts below the navbar? - Edit: nvm got it, easierr than expected

Oh Well yeah - that's what happens then Enjoy this screenshot:

It's not white though
