My enforcer is in a clan for a different forum.. But they're never on and also you guys are cool, so I'm thinking of quitting it and joining Something Lawful instead. I think I'll keep the other clan's ~official uniform~ for shits and giggles.

Log on, , log off.

I am already having trouble remembering the huge amount of fun I had playing there yesterday. Several hours of total poo poo now. Nothing but idiot team mates and a couple of really annoying hackers on the other team. That and the spawns are hosed up and keep dumping the entire team in the furthest corner of the map, which can easily be camped by snipers.

I think all the new players who found the game through steam are rolling crims, which is what I play on. I should dust off my enforcer.

I recently won 500 G1 credits in a competition... Thinking of trying out a 30 day armas weapon. What one do you think I should go for? I'm thinking of the HVR scout. I used the whisper before, but now I have a 2-slot OCA which I much prefer, and I used a CSG and scoped n-tec via promotions. So I guess that leaves the scout or the special STAR... Might try the CSG PR1 though, because the PR2 was the promotional one, and I couldn't stand the reload times...

While testing out the HVR Scout I got in a 1v1 with a gold (and it wouldn't let me call backup. I'm only silver ). In the end it was a CQC situation and I swapped to a shotgun and kicked his butt good. I think he was using a joker or something. Kept yelling "shotgun noob!" over mic. Because only noobs can kill a gold player I guess? Skilled players never defeat golds.

According to people yelling in district, 'noobs' are people who use jokers, shotguns and OCAs. Strangely, never ever heard anyone be called a STAR noob, which is weird. Regardless of whether someone is kicking arse or sucking with a STAR.. Maybe they changed the meaning of the term?

It is pretty funny how mad some people get at this game. It's just a game...

In other news, I got called a fledgling this morning because I was driving around this:



Instead of that really fast car that only has two spots for homies to jump in. If it's not the fastest thing in the game then why would you even drive it? Nevermind the fact that it can take hits like a champ or that it can carry more dudes with guns.

Except the frezno cannot carry more dudes with guns because it's also a 2-seater...

Besides, that car is pimpin'

I like the fresno. I wish it was slightly faster though, seeing how it's basically a slightly weaker, slightly faster dump truck with the right mods on it.

Looking at the unused mods on the apb db website, and it appears there's a car surfer mod, but the creator is Armas Underground. All the other ones are Reloaded Productions. Looks like they're gonna force us to buy car surfer

Also this happened to me today



At first my ego approved of this, then my mind woke up and said "Wait a minute, I hate fighting against golds!" and so I found a newbie and adopted him as my own, and played with him for hours and hours. I think I'm safely back in the silver for now!

I wonder if with the car surfer mod people will still be able to deploy an ammo thing.. or better yet, if they stand on the back of a car with MSU... Actually you can't use MSU while the car is moving so that wouldn't be an option. Otherwise someone would just get infinite rockets.

Personally I wanna get a car surf mod so I can ride in the back of pickup trucks with an ALIG.

Also, was the vehicle glitch a few months ago? I remember that and particularly that ambulances were hilarious to drive. Reverse sent them flying into the air.

That's kind of like asking if bacon is better than ice cream.

I mean, they do very different things. reflex sight makes you more accurate, cooling jacket makes you shoot faster but less accurate. What you really want is one of each on the gun, that turns it into a surprise sex train. But if you can only get a 1-slot gun at the moment, I'd say try both and stick with whatever you prefer. That way when you unlock the 2-slot you'll already own both mods and can put them on. When you get rich but level 3 mods from the marketplace too.

Joker CR-5 is a pretty nice gun.

It's literally just an n-tec. Although I'm suspicious there might be a tiiiiny bit less accuracy bloom. One thing that pisses me off about it is that G1 didn't make new sounds. It's like they don't even create their own assets any more, just re-use stuff. I think the new guns should have their own sounds drat it. still, nice to be able to use a 3-slot n-tec for a while! I'm pretty bad with those though. Lately been doing really really well with an obeya with HS3.

One of my favourite ALIG tactics is to ram someone else's car into a corner with mine, hop out and shoot whichever car is weaker/more damaged, promptly killing myself and my enemy in a hilarious fashion. I also LOVE the long range preassure it has. With heavy barrel 2 I can basically full auto at 75m and get kills if anyone is stupid enough to remain exposed.

My ALIG tactics = equip kevlar, when enemy sighted (in car or out), crouch and M1 til something/everything explodes and/or dies.

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

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

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've been avoiding the teamspeak since I don't have a mic, but I'm getting one soon. I'll get on later tonight, maybe.

I also run with a PDW in case the LTL thing isn't wanted, since I understand it's pretty good.

I want that cop hat.

I recently fell in love with the PDW. It's a pretty great weapon, if you can handle the massive recoil. Also remember it usually takes more than one clip to kill someone, so you'll burn through ammo incredibly fast. Recently I've taken to using OSMAW + PDW and it's pretty great.

The OSMAW is just hilariously fun to use, but it's a bit stupid that it doesn't kill unless you hit your opponent exactly. It's a loving rocket, not a bucket of hot water. It should kill with at LEAST a 3-5m explosion radius. I hear it used to be 10m, which is nuts, but talk about an over-nerf! Either that or at least make it take less time to switch to the drat thing. 3 seconds is kind of excessive.
