Challenge accepted! I'll see if I can't grab some volunteers for LTL enforcement on Silver and Gold. I make no apologies if I end up as a 255 Bronze as a result of that.

Something along these lines, please.

I thought these changes were going to be small?

Disliked for wall of un-formatted text. -
The can of worms has been opened. A fair number of vocal criminals claim hotly and loudly that LTL is horrible, over-powered and should be outright removed or massively nerfed. Regular LTL Enforcers either claim it is balanced, or in need of a buff. Perception be damned; I'd like to see some actual numbers from LO/G1 to see how popular it is and just how effective it may or may not be.

Enforcer. Because I always wanted to be a copper.

It's saddening that RMT is commonplace
Fenton replied to Hexerin's topic in General Discussion Archive
Had to look this up. Was confused about why a union was getting involved. I've seen plenty of people shouting in social about making trades for real world cash; but it's always been more of an annoyance to me, rather than anything else. I would have thought it was something easy enough to pick up on in-game by one of LO's new GMs.... -
Person on your team was being a banana. Teamkilling by accident can and frequently does happen. Grenades are useful in so many ways, just keep practicing.

I'm just going to drop a link to the google doc of a few of my older tutorials here. It's police/CSA stuff, but I'm happy to expand on or add on request.

Battenburg Police Markings Please note that, while it is possible to do this without Premium, this method requires 30-40 symbols and you will need to have Premium on your account to make use of it. Wikipedia writes; "Batttenburg markings are a pattern of high-visibility markings used primarily on the sides of emergency service vehicles in several European countries, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. The name comes from the similarity in appearance to the cross-section of a Battenberg cake." Step one: Select your base vehicle. Not everything works. The Dalton Broadwing, Charge Ciscos and Patriot Vegas are not the easiest to work with at the best of times. The Balkan Ravan however, is quite friendly to designers. Step two: Undercoat. You will loose fidelity to your design to pixellation if you do not do this. In addition, not all vehicle components react the same way to the same colour. Apply an "undercoat" decal to stop this. Five large squares of the same colour; Front, back, both sides and top. Step Three: Create your markings. Really easy. A Double Battenburg is usually seven squares in two rows. These are used by most police vehicles. Variations on this can be found in single stripe and "broken" Battenburg which uses an array of shapes for maximum visibility. As a rule of thumb, try to keep it at seven squares long unless you are working for a specific design. Our example constabulary "Force 51" doesn't exist, so we're using the basic set of seven by two. Note the over-layer of inverted dots for the extra reflective effect. It's not essential, but it is an extra layer of detail. Use it, if it works for you. Now is also a good time to get those other markings, roof codes and suchlike done as well.... Step Four: Apply your markings evenly. Take your time with this stage, as this is where you really need to get it right comes in. Apply your decal and stretch it out as required. Don't worry too much about over-spilling decals, that can be covered up as you go. Step five: Tidy up. Take some time to look round the end result. Highlight the areas you want to give special attention to and apply cover-up decals on areas where they spill over into sections you do not want coloured. Again, take your time as this is what adds to the end effect. Step seven: Step back and admire. It goes without saying that you should have saved your vehicle. Now is the time to put it on display and give it a final check. If you have taken your time and reviewed your reference material well, you should have the desired effect.

Unlock all the vehicles, IMHO.

Dear MortisedGuide, and anyone else who gets angry at computer games. I feel your pain. I understand how frustrating it can be and it can be quite disturbing to feel like you've lost control of yourself. First and foremost if you find that you are getting angry at something; STEP AWAY FROM THE SOURCE. It doesn't have to be long, but take a moment to get away from your desk and breathe, go grab a cold drink, have a look out the window. Just don't sit there and stew in your own emotions, it isn't healthy. Second, ask yourself what caused the anger or upset. Recognising the signs can help. Is it that you died in the game? Something someone said or did? Have you had a sudden drop in your blood sugar or similar biological responses? Keep a small diary of things that anger you and how often you feel the need to lash out. The photo journal is a good start and it helps you to identify and label your emotions. If you find yourself being angered by the same thing over and over again, try and avoid it until you have some more tools to manage your anger at your disposal. I understand that you don't want to quit a game you find is fun. Why not take some time out after a difficult mission and try your hand at music, symbol, car or clothing design? Remember, it isn't just you. You aren't alone. There is help out there. Take the time to look around for sustainable coping mechanisms that work for you. Have a look at the following resources and see what, if anything, works for you? There's more out there than just these, but it should be enough to get you started. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/controlling-anger/ https://www.getselfhelp.co.uk/stopp.htm https://www.verywellfamily.com/ways-to-teach-your-child-anger-management-skills-1095010 https://www.psychologyinaction.org/psychology-in-action-1/2015/12/27/the-psychology-of-computer-rage

RE! SET! THE WORLD! Bwahahahhahaaaaaaaaaa...!

Quite a few people find this difficult to do. It's surprisingly easy to get into the trap of rushing the same location over and over again with little to no plan and hoping that reflexes and skill compensates for the lack of any tactics.

More evidence that many of the mechanics in APB need a re-work.

It's hot here. Also, I'm available for voice-over work. -
Regarding the shotgun balance patch.
Fenton replied to JohnNighthawk's topic in General Discussion Archive
Not sure if the LTL shotgun counts as it alledgedly fires single tazer-dart-thingies. -
Be patient. There's a thread pinned at the top with a running tally of how many are done and how many are pending.

Lets talk about the asthetics of the cars
Fenton replied to Fennel's topic in General Discussion Archive
The Morai has a few kits which help a little, but there are a shed-load of improvements that could be made to it and pretty much every lower level car going. -
