A server maintenance and a patch are two distinctly different things.

But Jericho now has one full district instead of two half-empty ones! Besides, haven't you been told yet your skills drastically improve while you wait for the respawn so you could instantly die again and wait for some more?

I have just checked with the Joker Distribution NPC Wilde in Social, using two different accounts, the DMR-AV PR1 and PR2 both are available for permanent purchase for the price you can see on the screenshot above. Perhaps it doesn't show up if you already have it as an account-wide item, that might be a culprit in your case.

If I am not mistaken, you can get the permanent version with Joker Tickets.

That's me right there, I suck at remembering people's names, in real life and online both, but I remember one's appearance quite well. So yeah, we should disable custom outfits for the Fight Club and action districts

Yes, I'd love to know this, as well. The last time we tried to rip my characters, the anti-cheat blocked the injection (I am not a savvy, I am just saying what I have been told the issue was).

This will certainly help with the dethreating issue and, although I am not quite optimistic regarding it, with Jericho's population issue, however, it will inevitably have a big impact on the bronze/silver part of the community and they make the majority of the current population. Time will tell whether or not this was a wise move.

This has been an issue for quite some time now, and I believe everyone, or at least the majority already knows how to reproduce it. Unfortunately, I believe Frosi is right and it won't be fixed anytime soon. It's upon each one of us to stop (ab)using this lame bug, but knowing the community well, we most likely won't.

This is not necessarily true, nothing has changed for a long time, a lot of players were "farmed" by better ones when they were new to the game, yet here they are, still playing. Admittedly, some people quit the game within the first 100 hours, but not all of them do. I had a pretty rough start myself. Removing the threat segregation would definitely solve the problem of dethreating (and presumably help the lower populated districts/servers) but that doesn't mean it would benefit the new players and other, less skilled, older players in any way. Instead of facing popularly called "fake golds" they'd have to deal with actually good and well coordinated teams. I always have to repeat myself, the real problem lies in the players' mindset who tend to prey on the weaker opponents, not necessarily dethreating itself.

I won't speculate on this game future, your statement respecting its destiny may or may not be true, but I get to meet new players regardless, quite regularly.

Granted, there are even whole clans in bronze, exclusively made of dethreaters, who openly admit they are there just to "farm sh*tty silvers", there are smurfs with trial leases on their zillionth throw-away account, but bronze and silver players de facto make the majority of the player base in bronze districts.

You can always grind for the whispers you get in languages you do not understand.

I would even argue these false accusations and calling out cheats whenever we face a better player, did almost the same harm to the game as cheating itself. If we could just stop assuming whoever is better than us must be cheating and accusing them constantly and publicly, maybe things will change and eventually prevent new and legit players making stupid decisions to start cheating in order to beat other "cheaters". Our ego doesn't necessarily have to be our biggest enemy. If you're new and reading this, bear in mind there are always some cheaters, but the majority of players are pretty much legitimate.

Without having these endless debates on the pretty much same topics over and over again, this forum would have died a long time ago, just like some servers did. There's a list of "trigger" topics one tosses out as a bait from time to time, we all divide in a few groups, just like in the game and then bash each other with arguments, contra arguments or no arguments at all, post memes or make memes of ourselves, we do 360° gaming chair spins after perfect comeback posts or just verbally t-bag someone. Admittedly, it's completely off the balance since they removed the "dislike" function, but we build our post count anyway, climbing slowly up on the post count scoreboard, which is most important of all. It is sort of APB's mini-game outside San Paro the forum's community eagerly throws itself into.

For eleven years of playing, no one, not even a single time, accused you of cheating? I find this highly unlikely to be true, regardless of your actual skill set.

Blimey, I had to go through this for a couple of times and try to decipher! There's a significant difference between "noobs" and "newbies", let's not call all new players noobs. Instead of giving newbies a tanky car and a good weapon (STAR and FBW are amazing, by the way) for an hour (like that one hour will change anything), and when we are here already discussing players' mindsets, maybe, just maybe not stomping on those low rank green and bronze players like you habitually do could be markedly beneficial to the newcomers' portion of the community.

People who stomp on noticeably less skilled players seek validation, recognition, or reassurance, however they just fake self-assurance and build false confidence instead. The illusion of being good at something they are actually not good at is of a short-term nature and they are forced to do the same thing over and over again, just to feel good about themselves, even for just a little while, even if it is fake. The greatest threat to humanity, where this community is not an exception, is the combination of many different threats that affect and interact with each other, often sharpening each other’s intensity levels. Fragile self-esteem, or let's just call it fragile ego, is one of those threats.

I have actually tried to use the Ninja Ripper once to rip my characters' 3D meshes and textures, but never managed to do it, despite my husband's diligent assistance. Given I admittedly know nothing about computers, I could be wrong regarding this, but I suppose the issue was the ripping software getting blocked by the anti-cheat system, during its injection. If I recall correctly, we were using the Jenz's method. Either way, perhaps with more time and effort invested we could eventually export the models, but we certainly can't import them back to the game when needed.

APB's main "selling point" for me was the unrivaled freedom of customization it offers, I have never played a shooting game prior to APB:Reloaded, nor will I in the future. Admittedly, I would be saddened to see all of my creations gone, but I could eventually cope with it, however there is a plethora of unique, extraordinary and amazing creations over there, accumulated over the years and deleting those would straightforwardly be an inadmissible sin.

I sincerely hope you are not, because psychologically speaking, the need to always be right is rooted in a couple of different things and believe me, you wouldn't like to hear none of those.

Sometimes I feel like there's a portion of players who are secretly harboring ill wishes for the game, just so they could say "I told you so" afterwards.

Perhaps this has something to do with the chargeback issue from a few years ago (2017?). People were getting their accounts permanently suspended due chargebacks. Here's the original message players who used the promo code received from G1 at time: "APB Reloaded Account Chargeback Dear APB Player, We are contacting you regarding your purchase of an APB code through Steam. Our records indicate that Steam purchases for Key for the City Pack were made for this account. However, the account holder disputed these payments with Steam. This means they indicated to Steam that they did not make or authorize the purchases. Hence the GamersFirst account associated with these purchases has been suspended until the status of any disputed payments has been resolved. As a one-time exception, we are allowing you to resolve the issue and pay back the funds that were charged back at a 50% discount. The original chargeback amount for the Key to the City Pack Steam code was for $79.99. We are allowing you to regain access to your account once you have resolved the payment issue. In order to unblock your GamersFirst account, please follow the instructions below to pay back the funds to us: 1) Create a new G1 account 2) Purchase $40 USD worth of G1 credits using prepaid card, such as Paysafecard or Karma Koin 3) Submit a ticket through our Customer Support and include your new G1 account information as well as blocked account information Once we confirm the G1 credits on the new account, we will remove the credits from the account as payment and unblock this account for resolving the matter. Kindest Regards, APB Team" I do not know if this is the cause of your account suspension and whether you will be able to use this information in order to somehow retrieve your account, but I thought to post it anyway. I hope you will eventually manage to get your characters back and enjoy your San Paro adventures once more. Good luck~

Those maintenances should last for at least 24 hours, so we could have at least one day free in a week for all the other things in our lives, like jobs, schools, friends and family, hairdressers, etc.

Whilst there is some data to back it up, scientifically, this tired cliché and old adage is not necessarily true, you deeply underestimate people’s ability to change, and people do change. Admittedly, some people are incapable of feeling remorse and of changing, they remain perpetual cheaters, but not just a handful of them, for various reasons, never go back to cheating again. Literally anyone can make an effort to alter their specific habits or behaviors. There are whole case studies on this subject worth checking. I would argue that none of us should be defined by our worst behaviors, but our willingness to change and actions we take to change ourselves. It certainly makes more sense to me than just blindly holding on to the belief cheaters will always cheat.
