Damn, really? Gotta try that. I've always waited till the codes were at half time because they wouldn't work.

I agree - it really is annoying. Remember me only works for about a week, or until the next character switch. It's also rather strange that my codes never seem to work until they're halfway through their expiry time.

That weapon skin is actually pretty damn amazing! Most of the current skins in APB are meh so I'm kinda hyped for this one. Especially since it suits my criminal character. I like the rewards and I feel like they're fair and well balanced.

Think 295 is the maximum in the game files right now.

No way! I meant the non-talon variants. Talon is like, the balanced RFP, while the other RFPs easily outgun the OBIR.

Now that it's over, I want to say thank you, Little Orbit. This was fun. Nothing has ever brought this highly toxic community together, but this event did - and a lot of people spent countless hours on discord and the forums together to solve this huge puzzle. Even though the final riddle was bruteforced and the final code has been leaked/spoiled, it was fun as hell. 10/10 would participate again. Oh, by the way. I'm still mad at myself, and I did facepalm myself very hard. I actually tried to shorten Clawdia to get a traditional not-tech-savvy password, but out of all things, I didn't come across CLDA. I was so close. Yet so far.

So for those people that didn't or don't follow discord, the password has been bruteforced (and thus no one knows it) and as seen above, the final code has been cracked. On discord, matt said that the ARG isn't over yet and the password for the account is still to be found - those that do find it will get the tier 1 reward. Keep searching for the password to get the big loot guys. I can't continue for longer due to timezones and my brain has stopped working for now.

K/D isn't even a good stat to create matchmaking with. Also, when will people realize that the current playerbase is way too low to create any sort of balanced matchmaking? It's impossible at this point.

So due to a bot on discord mentioning about 2000 people that the countdown is over, we can't really access the website. So far there's new emails for cpritcher (pass g@ngs1gns) and a few new articles, so we're back to being detectives.

wooosh

When a burst sidearm is better than a primary burst weapon, it should ring a bell that something's wrong.

The only file edit I've ever done was changing text files to show me the final stages and to change team colors from green to blue. I've asked Matt about this and he said it's fine but won't be possible after the engine upgrade. If that's considered cheating in your eyes, that's sad.

It's not really hacking if you just open a file in notepad and change a few strings.

I'm not going to dig them out for you. There's been at least one reply on the forums, and a few more on discord.

A few posts by matt, and a few DMs people shared.

apbdb is a community project and the devs have little to nothing to do with it

Yes, of course

I think it's fine. The APB logo (with the missing Reloaded line) looks out of place though.

Agree. If they actually decide to get rid of the name, they have to do it when major progess had been made. As of now it's still mostly a GamersFirst game.

It's been confirmed that editing pretty much all of your files isn't a banable offense right now. I don't think it should be allowed.

Awesome news. Can't wait for RHIOT and the engine upgrade.

Matt also has a point of actually putting Gamers First now, and so far it's working Still doesn't change the fact that the name is just dirt on something that should be clean. It's impossible to fix the bad reputation GamersFirst built up in 7 years. I mean, they even managed to get popular as "MoneyFirst", "WalletsFirst" or "CheatersFirst". So that's something.

I understand that replacing everything that has GamersFirst or G1 on it is a lot of seemingly unnecessary work, but doing so will help the game a little more to regain a playerbase. Older players that left APB (and that are a LOT of players) won't come back until they see that GamersFirst is gone, and due to previous circumstances with G1 they won't dig deep enough to find out that GamersFirst is no more and the name is just being used by a new company. Though I don't know if there's a contract between RP/G1 and LO considering APB hasn't really been bought off of G1, and some G1 people are still part of APB. Nontheless, GamersFirst bad Little Orbit good

Tracking something in color X on color Y is easier than tracking detailed characters on detailed backgrounds, especially if its dark and everything becomes black and hard to see. That's been my experience from trying out clay textures. And about such ultra low textures hurting me? Nah, not me, but the game. How is this game supposed to grow when it looks like absolute crap on twitch and youtube?

Yes, absolutely. GamersFirst has a very bad reputation for multiple reasons. Keeping the name hurts LO because people think GamersFirst is still the owner of APB.
