Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
What I want is more than ten vehicles and themes per character, more than 40 clothing items and more than two costumes.

I finished up the Pursuit version yesterday and gave it to another one of my friends, we've now got 3 cars rolling around (And of course I held onto the originals so I can copy as many as I want). Sadly I can only ever catch one of them online at a time due to timezones. I took this nice picture of us standing by our cars. We made uniforms too.

Patch 1.6.1 today~

Revoemag posted:

Servers will be coming down at 11 AM GMT for Maintenance.

Estimated Down-Time is approximately 3 hours. This is to deploy patch 1.6.1.

Be aware, there is a KNOWN ISSUE with this patch.

Issue: In the district select screen, under the instances tab, the CRIMINAL population column will be BLANK. We are currently working on a hotfix for this issue and will deploy it when ready, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue.

1.6.1 Patch Notes

Account Threat
• Account Wide Threat: The highest threat on your account is now applied to all
characters on your account, each character will lose & gain the same threat level.
• Your new threat will be displayed on the Character Select screen.
• District Select: On the District Select screen, the instances tab will now display the
average threat level for each individual instance.
- Manually entering districts which don't match your threat will result in overall
reduced rewards.

Misc
• Added a cooldown to kicking players from a mission team during a mission.
• Removed the ability to delete mails containing unopened attachments.
• Overtime: Fixed timer flashing throughout the mission and repeated claxon sounds.

Aphadon posted:

You can group up directly from the district select screen, no need to join a district first. Open the Social window and invite players, or use the /groupinvite and /groupaccept commands in chat. Then use the Join As Group button to join a district together.

An important thing to note here is that if you use District Recommendation (i.e. using the big district buttons to join a district instad of manually choosing an instance) no-one in your group will be penalised. Even if some group members end up in a district that doesn't match their threat, they won't get penalised if they used recommendation. Also, the recommendation system will try to find an instance closest to the average threat of the group.

Yes, this. I already have a ton of costumes and don't really mind using two, but goddamn I want more cars. I've put so much effort into putting together the ones that I already have, though, that it's gotten to the point I can't delete any more.

That means that if I really want a new vehicle, I'll have to sell or destroy something that's probably taken me hours to put together. It hurts :negative:

You won't have to do that. You can put a car you want to keep but not use for a while on marketplace for 99999999999 and immediately cancel it. Then you can store it in your mailbox forever, as the mail will not expire. That's how I kept all my seasonal outfits

Man. I'm not going to be able to dethreat my two golds because they were just about maxed out in the past, in order to to make my third character notgold so my dull single-character buddies won't have to wait forever for a matchup or get nothing but quad gold clanners from Serbia for opposition.. after 15 minute waits.

If you have no real interest in the game then I highly recommend rolling a criminal character on any server to just go around grieftrucking both criminals and enforcers. Although if you do it often enough you'll probably get a warning and then eventually a ban for it.

It was pretty beautiful going into bronze district. Legit noobies everywhere. And some silvers/golds running around (Not quite as bad thankfully, most opp was bronze-ish.)

I could care less about reduced rewards since prem gives me plenty of cash already. Might be an issue if you have no perm weapons and no premium.

I managed to get gold threat today (for the first time!) right after the servers came back up in a 1v2 against other silvers. It's not exactly something I want, I don't really think I play that well at all. I call in Nkdsnake because I don't want to get thrown into missions I can't handle by myself and we usually make a good team. We somehow manage to pull off a 7 win streak, even in two missions with some pretty obvious hackers.

On the 7th mission (and our last, because it was getting close to 4am (why am I still posting at this hour) and we decided to go to bed) the pubbie tears really started flowing. This picture should explain everything.



We were both surprised that he was talking about me because all I was doing was standing on a roof above the objective and shooting as they walked past.

I laugh when I get griefed if it's not boring (ie. getting pinned in = boring, getting send flying by a dump truck = hilarious). Also sometimes I enjoy being killed by an osmaw. There's just something so entertaining about the fwwaaaaaaahhhhBOOM sound it makes.

Also at first I thought the new threat thing sounded like a horrible idea, and now I know it is... but for different reasons than I first thought.



This kind of stuff is just fun. I've never got SIX medals at the exact same time before. I hit notoriety 5 too. My god, this new system is so fun to exploit. Even if you only get 50% rewards if you're gold in a bronze district, it's worth it for the fun value. And you make a decent amount of cash and standing due to the k/d ratio...

I now really like this change.

I enjoy the new TL system because I made a new account. If I want a challenge I'll go to a silver or gold district. If I want to faceroll I'll take green, bronze or gold for a district. Funny how it works.

The STAR is an amazing underrated rifle. Ask the gold with a Whisper who came this close to ragequitting after loving up in close combat over and over and over (or the two golds who actually did ragequit)

I joined a green district and was doing this until I found out that if you play in a low district it dethreats you if you win too much.

I made a guy on US East and found out that threat is account-global, and not per server. I also found out that lag makes LTL and getting Colby SNR kills a piece of cake.



The top guy on their team was a disastrously bad player until the last stage, and then suddenly it was dangerous to be in line of sight. Oh, the tears that flowed.

We were. I was thinking about saying hi but I was too busy laughing at the guy. He spent about 30 minutes not doing missions but instead playing bumper cars with my vehicles as I was doing missions, saying I took things too serious and should stop crying.

Had more hackusations from my two three hours there than on Patriot since mid-December.

It is no way guaranteed that you will be the fox that rules the roost, there are a lot of de-threated high players around, and there are also low players simply not giving a crap about reduced rewards. So far it was easier to use low guy to give your group a recommended district, the outcome would be trainees with a bronze at best for us Eurogoons, but from what I see now it's a crazy wild mix.

Still a bunch of bronze around though.

Man. That piano is detuned in a way impossible to get anything close to it to in the APB theme maker, even with the actual acoustic piano in the editor being detuned and wobbly.

Other than that, 98 BPM, kicks at 1 and 15 in the first measure, 1 7 and 9 in the second. Snares at 5 and 9 in both.

I attempted to do this yesterday but mostly it didnt work out so well. High gold level crims also join to newbie hunt and the game will match you up against them. So you just end up switching back to your regular guns and playing a competitive game with random bronzes from both sides running around wondering what's going and in the end you end up with about half the reward. I reckon silver districts are the way forwards or if you are not tired after work play with the golds.
