    Well that's another thing. I'm not a fan of players activating gas areas in general (and the fact that you have to pick up access codes first is kinda pointless). The map closes unevenly which is very annoying to navigate and will be even more annoying for the new players.

    Yeah neither am I. Most of the Codes are near the Gas Canisters anyways so it is purty pointless. New Players are what matter for this game right now, yeah.

    There are many solutions. Dedicated spawn areas (something similar to Apex) are probably the best choice. It's better than people spawning randomly behind you without any warning for sure.

    True, but Apex is different as it's death field is a slow closing circle that stops in phases to allow players to fight within it for a set period of time. So spawning is less of a chore. As where RIOT relies on players closing of sectors at their own pace whether it's the gas spreads fast or slow.  I mean unless you're saying we should be able to respawn in the gas then yeah, I get your point.

    Yeah it's UI scaling then. those UI elements do not go anywhere near that low with defaults

    I don't use UI scaling and most of UI is very annoying. It was overwhelming with the amount of windows, and text on my screen and I play the Vanilla APB. Imagine a New Player seeing all this amount of UI. It's way to much imo, some of can be scaled down or fade out and in when necessary. Like put the Respawn cost next to the amount of RTokens you have rtc. Also the RIOT symbol at the top is pointless.

     

    Another thing I noticed was when you pick up a hazmat suit 2 or more it does not show up anywhere until you actually use it. So if you want to know how many you have you have to use a suit.

    - No ambient sound in the city kills whatever immersion left

    So eerily quiet.

    - Removing car spawners was a horrible idea. This will leave new players completely confused and clueless on what to do. Running for miles is not fun. At least add more cars that spawn randomly. I could not find any cars this time.

     While I do agree the mode is very confusing. I do not think cars would do anything for this mode other than hurt it. Cars are already tanks in vanilla and people will just rush you with cars most of the time. Please do not bring them into this mode.

    - Spawn system is horrible. It spawned me 5 meters behind the person who killed me. Also did that for 2 other enemies..... you could guess the outcome

    I spawned near many enemies as well after losing a life as well. I honestly can't think of a solution for this if they are going to use lives.

    - Add some special effects to the winning screen. It's boringly silent. For example - those neat sounds when you redeem something from your mailbox/unlock new stuff from contacts

     

    - Remove stupid looking skins from the weapons. It looks silly and I can't take this mode seriously. All guns should have the base skin applied. 

     

    - UI needs some love. Everything is so in your face. Also, Minimap doesn't work. You can't see your group members on it....

    All of this I agree with.

     

    Another thing that needs to be done is something about that last phase where the last combatants fight near the Escape truck. Just camp near it and win. I wasn't there long enough to notice if gas spreads to the last sector but camping near the truck seems the way to win.

    Just make a new Personal Bank Contact NPC in Social District for players. Put him in the Galleria.  Call him Vault, he has no faction. He can hold Weapons so you don't have to scroll through a massive list when resupplying or changing guns, Consumables, Themes, Clothes etc. Overfill items go to the Vault by default  of your mail. Make him have a good amount of inventory space and you can earn more slots from new upcoming contacts or Joker Tickets maybe?

    i like the map, i hate the gameplay

     

    wf is much more aesthetically interesting than financial imo

    Yeah, I love the diverse areas compared to Fin. Like the Ferry, Shopping center, and the river bed thing.

     

    Albeit all of them are horrendous to combat in. Same with the freeway sized roads and lack of cover.

     

    And that damn ambulance objective bug in that mission near the main Ga5 station in WF that does not let you cap it. 😡

    In my case it appears to have been caused by renting said items in the past. At least that's seemingly the cause of it in my situation. Far as I can tell? 

     

    Workaround:

    1.) switch characters

    2.) place item in cart

    3.) switch back to character you wanted to buy the item on

    4.) spend money and enjoy?

    I see, okay thanks! I'll give that a try.

    I've been having trouble trying to purchase character lifetime weapons of any type. The guns that have this little purple guy flag on them and say that I have purchased them on a character. A few are correct but the majority are not. I want to purchase character bound but it restricts me and says I own the weapon char bound already (which I do not) meaning I have to buy it account wide at a higher price. For example I don't own the RSA Hunter, Osprey, ACES Rifle, Fang, Rocket, and many other categories of guns that it says I own character bound.

    Not sure if this is a bug or not, or if anyone else has ran into this. I used to use the 3 day trials quite frequently before that system was taken out. Maybe it's has something to do with that and thinks I own the guns char bound?

    Thank you

    I still enjoy the game, personally. I just like to hop on from time to time fiddle with clothes and cars and mess around in FC for a bit. This game's core has always the same to me so I can't really relate. We've just have gone through different era's over the years. In my eyes APB is the game I fell in love with in high school and I will always love it till it dies. There is nothing close that let's me express myself as much as this game does.

    I think massive exposure to the radiation given off by this community made me immune. I always come back to the game even when my jimmies are rustled or I get #Spanked2ez

     

    One thing though. Bring back the ability to be hit by civilian cars again whilst crossing the street please ty. 😂

    For one thing my statement was not to be taken seriously... not sure why you gotta show me a pic of your chars lol.🤔 And like maybe about 300hrs give or take idk actually. I don't really care about total playtime. You're clearly the real cool guy here.
