    Randomly thought about APB today.

     

    Checked the forums, and basically the game is completely dead, I'm not surprised, I really left it nearly 2 years ago now, still it's hard to let go.

     

    Seeing the old login screen brought back some good memories. I miss the old days, I'd give anything to get them back; but deep in my heart, I know, they're never coming back.

     

    Thanks for the nostalgia bro.

    Population is dropping day by day, don't be surprised forums are dying too.

     

    Too many people, with too many half-baked opinions demanding their ideal version of the game become the real thing has led us to where we are rn; modern APB is not as fun as old APB, consumables, and such, are part of that imo, but that's a different story.

     

    Same problem, people who want attention sucking up hard to the CM's over the years (Tiggs is the worst example of this by far) resulting in a stale, boring, and highly moderated game.

     

    Surpise that a lot of the old players left, I hung around for a while, idk why, old times sake probably.

     

    Truth is, 2010-12 APB isn't coming back, and I think a lot of the older players know this too.

     

    Why stay around?

     

    Besides, given that BattlEye is back to kicking for progammes that you don't even have, or use, just because it can, means it's impossible to play anymore anyway.

    Because I'm a necromancer

     

    Unless things have changed (I don't know personally) APB's servers at least for the EU, used to be hosted in Germany; which means, you have to follow German law. Or the people hosting the server get in trouble.

     

    To that end, s86a of the German Strafgesetzbuch (a decent amount of Germany's criminal law) unequivocally restricts the right to use 'symbols of unconstitutional organisations' viz. legally restricted groups (Nazi's and Nazism, included).

     

    For that matter, s86a (2) states that flags, insiginia and uniforms and their parts, are restricted. Furthermore: symbols which are so similar as to be mistaken for [them] are deemed to be equivalent to them.

     

    Ergo, even if you take out the Swatiska, the essence of the symbol or uniform has NOT changed as far as the StGB is concered, thus - it is still illegal.

     

    If the server is still hosted in Germany (I don't know about this) then it would be illegal, and LO / G1 etc can get in legal hot water.

     

     

    I get that it's pretty funny to troll people, but this is less about trolling, and more about not breaking the law.

    from 0 to 15 its 10k kills, from 15 to 16 is 10k kills, so total 20k kills with the weapon to finish the role, he said 50k kills its 5 weapon roles 10k kills each for rank 15 🙂

    Fair, honestly it's been so long since I played I've started to forget stuff lmao

    I mean for a 'decade' isn't true at all.

     

    In the old days, there WAS no recoil at all.

     

    Besides, the RNG element is massively overplayed. Learn your guns bloom, and it becomes absolutely no issue at all.

     

    The biggest thing, and this is what people don't wanna admit, their reaction speeds suck, and their aim is mediocre. Don't worry, we've all been there.

    it takes 50,000 kills to get 3 slot of assault rifle/rifle/smg/shotgun/machinegun/sniper

    What the fuck are you smoking?

     

    It's about 15k roughly to get 15, and besides, you can get the Cops Bane NTEC in almost ZERO time.

     

    Besides, people overstate how good slots are, after 2, the 3rd is mostly irrevelant.

     

     

    I agree with Reaper anyway. The point is, easier progression means less incentive to keep playing.

     

    It reminds me of the Cop rank. Back when only Enforcer could get Jericho (the good old days) and the ONLY way to get rid of your sirens was to get Cop 15 to unlock a discrete siren. It added some reason to grind, and serious prestige if you managed to get it. (LTL isn't that hard, but whatever, it's still no fun to play).

    Would LO consider adding the Ski-Mask, and Balaclava to the JT store?

     

    I mean, the only other way to get hold of them is to buy the full packs (as they can't even be solo-purchased inside the Armas store).

     

    And I think a lot of people don't really want to buy the full packs, just for the mask (I mean, it's one of the most sort after clothing pieces).

     

    Kinda just some thoughts.

    No. Besides, LTL sucks patootie, and has already been nerfed too much.

     

    We already lost our unique vehicles to the Crims. And besides, the key point of the Cop role was originally to get discreet sirens - but now... Anyone can simply hide the ones they have.

     

    So much for having a more-or-less unique Jericho.

    You can just spam chat to get kicked, but I mean, not much else really.

     

    It's pretty lame overall, because there are a few people who I will - out of principle - not play.

     

    Just means that I have to sometimes drive around for about 20m for no reason.

     

    This is a feature that should be added really, people still rage-quit to get out of missions, so really, it makes no difference.

     

    It might also get the closets to stop cheating, if they never actually get any matches (Altho that's just wishful thinking).

    Looks like LO is now enforcing a standard of behaviour...

     

    Well, that's new.

     

    Is it good though? Well....

     

    My thoughts on the matter, even though no-one asked: having any policy toward comments / behaviour is pretty pointless. All it does is chastise those who have 'main' or primary accounts - if people want to spout off vitriol, and potentially... be racist - they can spam make accounts for just such a purpose.

     

    It literally takes no more than 5m to create an account and character, then cobble together a swastika, and trigger autists caring individuals.

     

    I know there is going to be the 'mature' gang who are horrified by the idea of people being childish or stupid, because hey, we should all be boomers adults - but why?

     

    I get that people want to enforce anti-racism etc. I mean, swastikas etc, are more of an issue than just rude words (something to do with Germany, and servers) but anything beyond blatant racism... Who cares?

     

    Like others have already said.

     

     /ignore (player name)

     

     

    If you disagree with me, hate me, or literally anything - I don't care. Message me hate if you want, I won't lose any sleep.
