is there a way to completely disable songs made by players. I really don't like having to listen to the same 5 minute grief theme in the fight club dists for entire rounds at a time.

I don't care if I can't hear 5 second themes ever again, including my own.

Put them on ignore and report them and they will be banned.

You could put the person on ignore so you don't hear their theme. Also report them for it if possible, that glitch was supposed to be fixed months ago.

If I was a billionaire I'd have the APB hackers tracked down and offed, even little Jimmy who used his mothers credit card, because the game is that good when they're not around.

I don't think I've encountered any hackers (yet) apart from a guy who I'm fairly certain shot me around a corner, but I could really do without the type of player I just learned about yesterday, the "Crim Farmer". Apparently, since it's so easy to farm money and prestige or whatever by robbing and mugging, Criminals exploit the "in mission" status to give themselves immunity to being witnessed. What that means for people actually trying to do the drat missions is that they end up having to either hunt the bastards down on the huge map or just wait until the mission time's up.

gently caress those boring assholes... that pretty much made me never want to be a Criminal in this game, because anybody I teamed up with would be running around doing menial poo poo instead of whatever mission we're supposed to be on.

Life on a European server is 80% Russian players with a majority of them hacking, and the rest being really pissed off at how bad an image they are giving gamers and people from their country. I play late evenings, nights and mornings so I'm on prime time for these things.

These wonderful mission streaks with no hacker filth are rare but they make up for it.

(And during those missions I can actually hear all enemy footsteps, new exploit I figure)

do crims still rage and start sending you angry pm's after being hit with LTL?

The thing about LTL weapons is that it's not only humiliating, but it can potentially triple your effective respawn time. There's a timer before you can be unstunned, a timer after you are arressted, and then the normal respawn time after that.

A good enforcer knows to keep those times going as long as possible, and that's why it can be especially frustrating to whiny crybaby crims.

LTL is amazing, too, when your uneducated opposition goes to save their arrested teammate and you get to nab them, too.

So, I found a relatively quick way to make cash for an enforcer (I'm sure you've all done). It's been helpful for new friends starting out. If you have a 2nd pc or a friend with a crim character, they can nab the armored truck in waterfront by the boat and take it to the impound by Stu Phoenix for the Enf to drop. Takes 1m 20s before you can drop it again. Made about 50k in 30 minutes if all goes well (with premium) but it's also a super dorky thing to do with ones time.

Hit p5, speed down to the evidence vault and double your loot. No witnessing involved unless you have cash on your crim.

It's not themes. In fight club you can take the DJ booth in the middle and play your lovely grief song at ear shattering volume. If ignore works for this, it's still kind of a crappy solution since I have to walk in to my death to go see who is operating the DJ Booth.

Basically just started playing this, seems pretty interesting so far. Im on Patriot as BashOut, I don't know how it works but if someone is able to invite me to SomethingLawful on it that would be great.

One question, i've been eyeing up certain items in shops, and they're locked until I get to a certain level with an npc, yet I can't find the npc I want in any district, what's up with that?

When you max one NPC, they'll unlock the next NPC in some sort of sequence for you.

For those of you on the Enforcer side on the Joker server, I require entertainment. I oft like to make themes of pretty much whatever you want and am out of ideas. If there is a theme you would like to see, but either hate the current versions of it or it doesn't yet exist, give me the name, a link to the track in Youtube/whatever and the 3-4 seconds you want for a theme and your in-game name.

The rules are I have to think I can make it not sound like poo poo, and that I have to want to make it and I'm prone to not doing anything for several days, but if I get around to it, I'll mail you a copy of whatever I come up with and you can do with it what you want.

If you want to see my current work, you can look my auctions up under the name 'Alforno' and find a few tracks that I put up. Some I did because I liked the song. Some I did because the market demand for them nets me mad cash (Nyan Cat...).

Oh man, if you could make this I'd really appreciate it. Just the little intro riff would be great.

Just started playing as Bunk on the Enforcer side. Are there any suspenders in the game? I could really use some.

There are no suspenders. There are only webbing vests and holsters, but you can make your own by "painting" them on your poo poo with decals.

I've decided after doing it for one person that I'll be generous and do it for a couple other newbies. If you're just starting out and want a tiny leg up in cash, place any item on the marketplace for 10k (no more than that, please) and send an in-game mail message to NicholasAngel. I will buy your item and you should get 8k out of it, enough to pay for a few weapon leases and ammo, or new clothes.

Joker East only.

EDIT: I am also giving out free police hats, default black color for male enforcer characters, just let me know in a mail if you want one.

Money is a must-have in this game and is hard to come by at first, especially without premium, so please take up my offer if you want! Also I should add that you should set the auction to 24 hours in the event that I can't be online for an entire day.

It's pretty much the same as the regular OCA, though the spread is slightly less. I think it's mostly because it doesn't show up on the map or make much sound so people don't react as quickly.

You have to make everything you want, or buy it from the market. You can't edit designs you buy from the market so keep that in mind if you do.

I had a "hackusation" today while in Fight Club - I was just loving around and using the LMG on people while crouched inside one of the concrete sewer pipe things that sits next to a cap point.

My response was that if I was hacking I would certainly do it to win instead :colbert:

Ugh, so tempted to make an Enforcer and start over but I cannot be assed to have to get everything again. This game's customization is so good it's tempting. Wish they sold off the customization stuff, has the potential to make other games, like Saint's Row, even more awesome.



Gotta love how you can throw around a bunch of symbols, play around with the outline options, mirror it, and come out with awesome.

Also swear I saw two Whisper users go against each other and end the fight in a draw.

I had only known her for a brief moment, but I knew right away, she was the one. her name was xJillValentine and I knew our destinies were meant to intertwine and become one.
The way she quick switched her sniper rifle made me weak in the knees, made my heart skip a beat... she was perfect.

But I knew we could never be together, me being a black recovering drug addict turned cop and her being a young rich white Prentiss fresh out of the academy. We were just from two different worlds, society would never accept us.

But if I couldn't have her.. no one could..

So I put this drug addled brain to work and the result was Operation Prentiss Princess, stage a simple robbery while she's on duty and let my criminals on the inside do the rest, cops die in the streets of San Paro everyday.

:siren:ROBBERY IN PROGRESS. ALL AVAILABLE UNITS RESPOND IMMEDIATELY:siren:
The bait was set, now all those punk crims had to do was finish it, but it's never that easy. Jill and her unit tackled and cuffed those criminals like they were amateurs from Banners and Bodybags and the ones that decided to run, well Jill's sniper rifle took care of that.

I panicked, what if one of those crims gives me up, what if my whole plan is revealed? I couldn't let that happen, I had to take matters into my own black hands. I had to kill them all.

So I put my Obama mask on, crept out of the shadows with my OCA Whisper :ssh: and laid waste to the whole crime scene. Everyone was hushed into eternal sleep before they knew what hit em.

Good night sweet princess.

Oh well, there's always Orlenz' Moretti's sister.

Basically xJillValentine got mad I TKed him at the end of a witness mission and exemplified characteristics to that of Fai serious and unfunny, so I went ahead and fixed that glitch. Sorry we only got room for one Fai.



But little did I know I was messing with the wrong person, he's got a case against me!
