Very disappointed Gamersfirst didn't add Powerman 5000's "When Worlds Collide" to the in-game soundtrack in spirit of the server merges.

In other news, there are Colby players griming up my game now and wow I haven't seen this many silvers in forever.

Lagspikes sound very normal for APB.

I played some earlier today, driving feels super weird after playing GTAV, making a turn took like 3 seconds. :v: Also, Reloaded should implement a video editor like GTAV, pulls some strings, Sion!

The idea of PvP in GTA is enticing but in practice it feels really tacked on. I can't play a third person shooter without camera switching now because of APB.

GTA V is a good example of what an MMO would be like if they let you experience all the PVE content in the game without a ton of protracted grinding. Everyone would finish it all in the first week.

Verge posted:

As much as I whine about APB it honestly blows GTA V's PvP out of the water mainly because APB was designed with structured PvP in mind from the ground up. The gunplay is pretty horrid in GTA V and exacerbates the main downfalls of long distance online gaming networking.

There's 3 major things APB has that every other non-LAN TPS needs:
1.) shoulder camera switching
2.) large rectangular hitbox with no location based damage
3.) no sniper rifles capable of killing a player in one click of the mouse

These and the insane amount of creative effort and great character customization tools are why it's so frustrating APB spoils the very good base it sits upon. The fault largely is on Realtime Worlds employees making really dumb design decisions for missions way before K2 bought rights to the game.

Are you monitoring your FPS using the /fps command? Most of the jank from APB I get is because the performance fluctuates so much and many weapon, explosion, and blood effects grind processors to a halt because the game uses early build UE3.

For Tiggs,hello?

Ban Fumiku
This part will be very extensive, because a situation of an interesna.

At once and with summer, my PERSONAL the attitudes towards Fumik - he the false stinker who very actively hid behind a mask of friendliness.

I am sure that the huge part from you considers that it was legit, and there were some graters which the mere mortal not to learn. Some little fools even arranged petition in its support, my God haha. ( screenshot - http://imgur.com/UKUyENy )

https://www.change.org/p/apb-reload...&fb_ref=Default
- "Everybody know that Fu-fu don't hack. We all love him"
- "FumFum is clean&fluffy! Most helping fluffy cat on Patriot/Citadel. Unban him Tiggs!"
To me to vomit hunting from these hamsters.
As I told above, "hid behind a mask of friendliness", and all this trusted. Though I in 2013 got wind that it is the boy put muscet on all communities, and on each his member personally. However I could seem externally the cutie that all called him "FumFum".

Concerning a ban?
Well, it was for Cheats. For real such, the presents of Cheats.
How so left? Well personally for me nothing surprising, the boy who merged - 5000 hours and - 12000 dollars, but not learned to shoot obviously I had some sincere rotting about it. Whether it is worth explaining, what happened at it in the head?

Well isn't present, it of course wasn't so stupid to play with couples on a basis. But I was rather stupid to play with couples without changing IP and without cleaning the ravine.
That account on which it chiterit https://ffbans.org/Citadel/iTwinky. Absolutely in impudent, with aimboty, turning on 180.
I confessed in everything, but to the most close friends, and I hoped to get off.( screenshot - http://imgur.com/pxngWc2 )
However, urine went to it to the head, and he decided to stream snap with the new acquired force. It appeared search, and Itazura personally wrote on mail of Tiggs to discuss with it it.
So personally everything checked, came to a conclusion that it is the truth it did from the computer, and the main account - Fumiku - went to a ban.
I personally was present at the hardware where Tiggs gave aimings that dug out at the moment, and Itazura told me all this story. Mistakes can't be. History about sincere torments of Itazura who once was the best friend to Fumik to tell I won't be.

Well and yes, for the sake of I will note spravdelivost (for those who doesn't know). To Fumik it was useful, at least that he is the author of a model of Mako.
A-A-A, NU AND DA
MANUAL FF CONFIRMED
Tiggs banned Fumika manually, and his ban was displayed in game and on FF site. Means, without guesses now, FF it is piece with which they can cover the patootie manually.

FairFight
So, when there was FF, it as many thought, rescued game. Players already choked with infinite larvae of Epicgoat. And here the new suddenly rushes antichit. Even without the prevention. One hundred people departs to a ban in a day. Players likuut. But already here are peoples which say at once that business smells ashes. The pier to come into game scary, you also can depart to a ban. Couple of my acquaintances even ~ claimed a month ago that the majority of bans is given in ruchnuu, but not some saving FF. And it was necessary to wait for confirmation of these statements not long.
In fact, that had to do only good to players, now is wrapped against them.
I won't begin to tell about bans of the AltF4(adunaz),KitsuneTenko, and other. You precisely heard about it also.
I will pass at once to the basic.
1) The guy played against STSfilms (that guy that removes all trailers for G1). So left that he played better, and for it received a deserved ban: http://www.twitch.tv/uglyfredd/c/4986353
2) One more fellow, refused to answer the question asked it. I departed to a ban immediately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgAUa8gwZu4 upd: access to video was limited. But the boy was called Wizzard, he wrote in пм with Tiggs, and refused to answer a question that it to it set)
3) Sickk. It is banned without the reason. Refused to tell the ban reason. http://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/359619-game-can-do-anything/?p=3793421#entry3793421
4) An old story, to FF vvediya. But even it is better for those because here they couldn't even cover normally themselves as can now. http://www.twitch.tv/brllce/c/3134180 - a ban. Also it is given out obviously not for Cheats
5) Further, Bnat, the second top of a joker (the first top banned in the first day of FF) received a ban in some seconds after called тиггс suky and the mommy. A similar situation with Wizzard about which it was told above.
6) The boy was banned for that afkamommy on an auka. As if decided that he is a dealer. To understand, stands on ceremony not steel. http://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/372793-ban/#entry3938344
7) Azytk, will kick from the general area Gmom,> No reason was provided. (directly song, and?) Why eternal ban. Forum: 1) http://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/372781-ban/ 2)http://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/372786-ban/
You just bought like the whole armas at the last sales | heh
UPD:

It is only small part. But for an example of it will be enough. What is in these cases?
The three first a ban were registered in a chat as "Fairfight Banned". And all three nicknames are displayed in the FF base.
( SCREENSHOTS - http://imgur.com/6tdqALO,yMORhel )

Then G1 have now opportunity to ban anyone, and when necessary, having written off it for the latest anti-cheat system against which you won't trample.

Further - it is more interesting.

ThunderBloodrose
In brief - upholster one of tops, 179k kill, about 16 all roles were pumped: ( SCREENSHOT - http://imgur.com/DsCVauT )

It is banned days later after this screenshot was sent to support: ( SCREENSHOT - http://imgur.com/yozKOP5 )

Yes, the boy wasn't pure, and plaid about the trigger about a year ago, but any antichit systems it didn't touch. And then false FF a ban, from couple of lines in a chat simply arrives (which, it isn't excluded, were written for fun)

... If I answer the next whiner, for example, "Aspasia.exe:3", I can receive too a ban from a simple screen in support?

Summit1g - the guy who bought all

I think everything remember these codes:
summit1gPremium - 1 Day premium
summit1gJokerBox - 1 JMB 11


What in them interesting? That Summit1g - a streamer nickname from the Joker.

And about codes at once we will forget. He bought them, didn't buy. It isn't important.
Manipulations with FF are interesting here besides.
Here everything will be better told by a movie. To it it isn't even necessary to supplement anything.
And so everything is clear. apb streamsnipe gone wrong! ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXYjh5AcWxM&feature=youtu.be&list=UUX6jF-jsx_gcH1VVQue-OaQ )
BTW, the boy created a new account (MrActs), and FF quickly departed to a ban again, again. I.e. guys now access to game in general is closed, and each new account again departs to a ban.

His Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/summit1g

30 Million viewings, and you can ban everyone who plays better you. It is practical.

Here I won't chew much. gear - mommy. The clothes aren't combined with car. The last Gear executed in good stylistics was Vegas Rocker Bundle. And that before it Poor Guerra squeezed.

But an essence not in it.
Still when left only a picture with Gear, many joked "This Pak was made for Kempington". And I was really upset when this joke turned out to be true.
New Gear's advertizing from the simple, modest player.
Kemp in a shot, Kemp off-screen. Involuntarily there is a question. Whether and for players Pak became?
Or it is simple for the only streamer, and players and a bit for lovely soul will eat?

W1LLOW BANNED SENSATION
Yes, joking apart.
I won't apply mind as it left, but Purple Cat really received a ban, despite all merits, an individual weapon, and a title.
https://ffbans.org/Joker/Luscious
In principle, all that occurred, is written in comments to Ffbans. I the truth have to you translate it? In the ban of anything interesting. After all the fact of a ban of this person is interesting here.

Oh wait. The speech went about Rapid99 and W1llow, huh?
Well and they here. When Amaka decided to replace stylistics of personal photos, Rapid99 and W1llow too showed the potryasaushchuyu luckiness, having got to the first five, together with close friends of Amaki - Netami and Outcry. While many mere mortals wait already for a floor of year, and I will wait also for year, and two.

Hooray engine update. When the game and my $60 went into the bin how many years ago now I could have never fathomed people would be still playing it and it would still have an active dev team. I'm not surprised the APB community is salty about certain things because gamers are terrible people. The extent of their huge whiny babying is pretty funny though.

It's amazing how much game development has changed to the point of people expect public PR releases about games (in this case a free one) constantly. APB despite its flaws is still one of the best online shooters. Not sure it really needs constant content releases as it stands well on its own similar to games like Unreal Tournament, Quake, and Tribes. But if it keeps players playing and paying to keep the servers running I guess that's nice.

The new refer-a-friend program means you can get points to redeem for quite a few neat account wide guns and cars. Assuming you have the time to play missions with the referred person. Also there's nothing really stopping you from just referring yourself on another email and earning the points that way. We've speculated completing tutorial objectives in addition to completing missions on the referred account increases points earned.
