Chinook

This game... Got the apparently ultra-rare skin activity 2nd time tonight, but ofc server took nosedive before I got it finished. That's 2 failures to complete it out of 2 attempts now. I don't know what to say. Merged. Just got it finished in time it seems, switched to my crim after that and managed to play 2 rounds before server went down. Counted 68 pumpkinheads since I started counting (maybe got like a handful before started counting them to keep track of my progress) and the rest were pretty much for killing the horseman. Would like to do some of the quicker roles on my crim, but... Servers are nowhere to be reached...

I wish we had more time remaining in the event... Couldn't really play much in last 2 weeks due to work scheduling.

I had the skin activity once, but didn't have time to complete it at that session. Not gonna get it for 2nd time it seems. Also I wonder how many pumpkin soldiers I'd still need to kill, as there is no counter and I have no idea if killing the horseman counts towards the 100 or not. Not sure if I should abandon my push for the 100 and focus on getting the quicker roles on my crim or not.

It's frustrating to keep trying to accomplish something, when you don't even know how much more you still need do before it's finished. And why so short? When an event involves any grindy stuff, the time allocated for it should be set "sufficient" for weekend warriors too (unless it's been already extended while I've been busy pulling 12-hour shifts at work)? I'll be amazed, if I can even 100% complete this halloween on ONE character (out of 10)(-ish?)

Yes, but VEEEEEEEEEEERYYY SLOOOWWWWWLYYYYYYYYYY. It takes ages.

Nerfing any contenders of the ntec-5 should't be done before they have decided how they are going to re-balance it and have performed that duty (and possibly re-balanced it countless times). We could as well be theoretically talking about STAR getting re-balanced right now, but why not focus on one thing at the time for the time being? It's not like the massive balance patches have led into huge success and fixed all the problems at once in the past...

Headless horseman thingy might bring me back to play the game for the duration of that event. Beyond that, it's irrelevant what happens there. And on what schedule.

Carbine been a thing since 2014?

Been recently listening a lot of Rammstein. Deutschland, Ausländer, Radio... can't understand even half of the stuff, but it tickles me the right way.

I love the excuses to not do the migration that go by the "cyrilics" -excuse, as if someone in the last 5 years had said something important in the district chat. Russian is just another language i can't understand to me. I know the cyrilic alphabet and some simple basics of russian, but beyond being able to ask if I can open cabin window because the air is bad, I can't have a real conversation in russian even if my life depended on it. Same goes with german, french, italian, spanish, portugese... etc... even when those are in the same alphabet as finnish and english are. It doesn't really float my boat either way, but to be crude it would be nice to filter out "obvious non-english messages" from the chat based upon the fact that I most likely can't read it. I know finnish, english and some swedish, yet all the rest is a blur when you go beyond "left, right, straight" and insults...

1) Population. (Remember when we had to queue to log in? Remember how there used to be multiple full or almost full instances of both mission districts going at any given time, even in the early morning?) 2) People not knowing everything. (All the ins and outs to various mission locations, camp spots, how and where from to counter those, how many hits weapon x is at y meters, what are stages for mission z and where they'll likely happen if 1st stage is at that specific location, etc...)

My thoughts after seeing it really is the same green top hat from eons ago.

I did all the achievements apart from the Ho ho ho... 2018 on my main (and all minus that and gun-runner on my main crim too). I also gave that Ho ho ho-thing a go on my main late in the event, but it's really a pain in the neck with this community and specially the population levels. I got little over halfway it during one good session, but then the FC population died for the night and next 3 days literally nobody was handing out gifts during my online hours. It didn't help that 90% of people were using meta weapons and sweating really hard when some of us tried to make use of waywardly modded bullsharks and other nonsense the santa boxes gave us. Also I got really scared at one point, when one daily didn't for whatever reason count towards the santa slayer on my main. Luckily I had still one extra day left when I was done on that, having played 10 days in a row which was only possible due to having easier than expected work schedule on 27th and 28th... Had those days been lost due to work (like the start of the event before 22nd day was) I would have just called it quits at that point and not bothered to play at all on subsequent days.

Happy easter!

You mean it's yet another thing that isn't what it actually says on the tin?

How to not want a title that says 'Slayer'?

My 2 cents: Epidemic, while a decent event, shouldn't have replaced headless horseman event. Finding both of them a space of 2-3 weeks in calendar shouldn't be too difficult. Re-balancing things that haven't been touched since forever takes time. Do more of this in baby-steps. Events shouldn't require playing on so many different days to complete, or at least there should be more time to do them than 14 days if they require playing on 10 different days. That said, I'm fine if they take similar amount or even slightly more hours to accomplish. My issue is having time to do strictly limited amount of daily stuff on 10 days within 2 weeks while doing the same amount of stuff within 5 days instead is not a problem, as the 5/14 gives much more room for scheduling than 10/14. Beyond that, I wish you a very productive 2019.

Problem isn't the grind. It's the very narrow time frame allocated for the grind. If I happen to miss even one day now, it's "over". If that would happen to be the case, I'd just abandon after the second-longest achievement is done. It's not THAT great of an event due to it being so random and heavily depending on things you can't control. The event in Fin is super dependent on the random matchmaking. If you get into a good team, you're all set. If not, well, you're SOL and JWF. And the event in Beacon is all about getting lucky with spawns.

I'm not too big on the e-peen features of the program either. Beyond that, I'm fine-ish with the selection of people. Kinda hoped that there would have been more ppl that aren't so well-known for everyone, but then again, there is the "add more later on" card still on the table so who knows what the cat might drag in...

I'm beyond caring for any quirky rewards, after having missed so many limited time opportunities due to work, life, etc...

I'd like to know, what I just failed to read. On second thought, maybe I don't even want to know.

Sorry, but after getting almost immediately accused of cheating upon returning to this late-halloween event after being away for several months, I no longer believe ANYTHING people say about cheating unless I witness it my self. Neither should anyone else.

With this latest event, I've come to think about equipping RD myself too. Not to use it for terrorist-style cheap attacks, but rather just to eject unwanted carjackers that are in the same team with myself. Because it's so frustrating to be in process of doing something and then just have a random teammate with no clue whatsoever jack my car and disappear with it...

This, now, million times!!! Not only is it just cancer, making everyone spend next 5 minutes insulting the culprit(s) in chat, it creates a traffic jam with the blown-up car remains that just adds to the annoyment.

In addition to being broken in this event, what good has the remote det brought to APB? I really just question the whole existence of it... The fact that it's broken and can be used to spaw-r43p people in the event is just another tick into "nope, we don't need this shit" -box. I genuinely liked APB more when it was R195 cap and none of the broken shit that needs to be disabled in half of the events wasn't there in the first place...
