AbuMohammad 104 Posted May 28, 2018 So, I have plans about making WWII uniforms of USA, USSR, maybe other allies and the Axis. So, there is a big question stopping me from doing that: will the Axis or soviet uniform be considered as an offensive content, even if it is made without historical insignia or symbols? For better understanding, here is the screenshot of such uniform (german one) from Call of Duty: Here we see only an iron cross, which makes the game legit even in Germany. Also, this question is about any other insignias of other countries. Please, tell us your official position about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AbuMohammad 104 Posted May 28, 2018 Also, uniforms here can't be too detailed because of limited clothes choice and customisation limit. Here is an example of my soviet one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsb 6171 Posted May 28, 2018 afaik the clothing is fine, as long as you aren’t using the actual illegal symbols or using it to further your “heil hitler” rp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AbuMohammad 104 Posted May 28, 2018 Maybe that's true, but I certainly need an official answer from new owners, because they surely have new policies. I think noone will hear anything when the ban is done (and if it won't be a ban, losing a difficult outfit is not a good thing to happen too). But you are right, on old Innova it was really legit.

There is absolutely no other reason to be creating Nazi uniforms in a cops and robbers game than to be a douche. If you're going to be a douche, be a man and admit it. Why not just be honest and up front that you want to offend people but want to make sure you won't be punished for doing it? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said, the question is about ALL ww2 uniforms, including soviet, japanese, italian and every else. The german uniform is just the most easily explainable example, because of CoD popularity. Someone may be offended even with a french one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the belief that a symbol inspires hatred. It has nothing to do with offending people unless you're a middle aged white virgin male who thinks following fat women around will get them laid.

This might be a "Cops and robbers" game as you so delicatly put it. But it has the best character customization in any game I've ever seen. It should be allowed to make such outfits, a lot of players want to be able to roleplay in the cummunity, and in my opinion it should definitly be allowed, as long as there's no hateful intent behind it, and only want's to have an outfit like that for the outfits and roleplays sake.

AbuMohammad 104 Posted May 28, 2018 On our server i get orders for making something about ww2 just every week, of course most are about soviets and germans. But I can make soviets without such great doubt, because it is actually a russian server where it will be accepted. Also, I never seen a polish player there, so I shouldn't worry about equality of soviet and nazi symbols in their laws. As for german uniform, everything is way more complicated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, however it's still not really necessary to have such uniforms in APB. There's no point and it's not necessary by any means. If they want to play with WW2 uniforms, they can wait for BF V, play Arma 3's Invasion 1944 mod, play COD:WAW, or any number of things. But they have no place or purpose in APB. Furthermore, I feel that this "roleplay" that others mention is probably not a good thing while wearing a Nazi uniform. But that shouldn't be hard to see, should it?

Or maybe some of us just like History and appreciate historical accuracy of uniforms? However, the use of the Wehrmacht symbol or the Iron Cross would be a much better option than a Swastika, to avoid the direct use of a German symbol that symbolized so much more than the German Facist party.

APB gives you creative freedom to do whatever you want and how you want. The only exceptions to those rules are regarding national laws. The nazi swastika is illegal in Germany. That is the only reason why that symbol is against the rules. If it was legal the symbol would not be banned, not everyone is a snowflake. Just because you don't like people dressing up and playing military does not mean everyone needs to fix their imagination to match yours. Show some common sense. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AbuMohammad 104 Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) I'm only a clothing designer, so i have no idea why people choose any of it, my job is to have a lot of outfits to fit any topic. But, if they will make a nasty roleplay LO can punish me for that. P.S. you can see a variety of my clothes in this topic Edited May 28, 2018 by AbuMohammad adding some words Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Show some common sense. I like how you tell me to show common sense, but you lack any bit of it. The point is WHY do people feel the need to "dress up and play military" in APB? It serves no purpose. All it does is cause conflict, hence why we're on the forums right now, dingus. ArmA 3 was literally designed around that, looks much better, and plays better for whatever military application they need. It has no place in APB.

Nowhere have I mentioned that the nazi symbol affects my emotions. I don't care about it in the least. My concern is that the whole topic is useless dribble, and that if the question seriously has to be asked, then why bother doing it in the first place for a specific audience that consists of MAYBE 50 people who have hard-ons for WW2 junk in APB.
