You don"t know? There is a "unthoughtful post storm" out here! Get inside! The area should be clear in 2/3 days. Then the post storm should have passed. No seriously, the condition of these forums are getting worse... For now.

Where do I even FIND the Q&A? Jeez, finding specific things you seek here is difficult. I cant find the Q&A. I couldn't find the GM application thread (I did, just about 3 hours ago) and when I ask for directions, everyone loses their minds. also, I notice that the threads are still tolerable, but are decreasing in formality... And rather rapid.

I totally agree with you and I think it should be.... "modified" or implemented in some kind of mini-tutorial district where it can teach these tricks (propably not cause that would be a tough amount of work). But even tough these "mechanics" are, as you rightfully say, player-based and non-intended. They do give APB the reason why APB is APB, and I return to this game for many reasons alongside the "mechanics" (altough I'm not sure how the community would react to modifications to these).

Let me just step right in the spotlights then.

Yea. Seems like there are specific places where this can happen. I always notice it happening to garage-doors. But tons of places are just so poorly optimised you can sometimes "see through them" (for their name). Like it isn't 100% solid or something... But there is so much more tough, one worse than the other and some more acceptable (I have been considering to call these as "mechanics" in order to live (and die) by the rules of APB Reloaded). For example: Ninja-door-kicking (Moving aside a closed door, jumping and kicking the door open midair so you do not land in the open doorway). Door nades (simply placing a wellplaced grenade under, or to the exact sides of the door. It will go through if aimed propper). Corner poping (one of the more acceptable ones, but I am certain that crouching behind cover, only to pop up, shoot IMMIDIATLY with a sniper and crouch down again makes a player deadly and invulnarable). Car entering (don't know if there is a name for it. But if there is no space to perform the animation to enter the car door, it will teleport you inside instantly). WASDancing with scouts (this used to be a thing much more common before, you could simply dance around and jump. Then aim at the target, with good awareness of where you crosshair would be, and shoot very fast and accurately). HoldOntoItems (when the mission is i.e. capture and hold the truck. You can capture the truck and destroy it in order to make it respawn someplace else, but the last team who captured it will still accumulate points). Daring deeds (specific mission for enforcers where there is a raid with the targets E,F,G,H where only E and F are needed. This is getting more acknowledged in the community). DeadlyPhonebooths (ramming a phonebooth can make your car explode instantly, especially Dolton Fresno's). And propably much more. But to survive in APB Reloaded is to know these rules. No doubt in my mind that everyone here knows these things and uses them to their advantage. I just pointed out the wierd things of APB R, but by now these rules are also the things that define APB R for what it is now. And I wouldn't want to see (most of) these things deleted.

Might be my potato of a pc. But everytime I run APB Reloaded and get the launcher it 1) Installs Battle-eye again indeed. And 2) It tries to install DirectX every single time. I don't know if this is supposed to happen (because I highly doubt I, as a gamer, do not already have DirectX installed), but then again I got no clue on how DirectX works :P So it might just be me, but I just felt like posting it. I don't find it annoying or anything, but I just wanted to give a heads-up.

EXACTLY! That is what I am aiming for! ^^

Read and understood. I shall be patient and will look into this matter whenever the oppertunity reveals itself. As for now I can return to my helper-duties ^^

Allright allright allright. Let's just ease it down for a little. Look, I just want to help the game make better. You people make some very hard facts against me that I absolutely cannot deny. I am being told: get out there and do something without a title. This ofcourse, is very true. (Obviously) But GM's are there for a reason right? Why would a GM else exist? And why can Jimmy be a GM and Albert not? I really do not see why there is so much opposition against someone who is trying to do his best for the game itself (through the benefit of being a recognised helper). All I was asking for in a nutshell was: What is a GM (thank you for clarifying that) for APB R specifically and where would I be needed to make our tomorrow better. But asking is kinda getting out of hand so I am resting my case.

How the balloons am I even supposed to know what a GM is? I just want to help the game as best as I can. I was giving an example. No need to crack open another ones idea. Edit: sorry to put it so bluntly. I just read a topic about the ESRB ratings...

I was wandering this as well. I am currently seeing a lot of talk about this "GM" and "How to become a GM" topics. No one is really giving directions nor requirements for this. I have played APB R for 1200 hours now (which is my most played steam game from over 130 games) and I know the game in and out. I would absolutely love to give new players the directions and learning them the ropes of the game. After all, we all know that APB is a harsh enviroment for those who do not know how to, for example, disable the auto-ready system (remember that was enabled for you in the beginning too? ^^) Edit: I am not familiar with forum posting of any kind. So please forgive me if I am doing something wrong or anything ^,^
