I guess you have to pay to customize now?

Well if you want to look good yes you do as the free accounts are only allowed 3 decals on clothing!

Thanks although what Sin_Chase said has slightly worried me. Is what he is saying correct? (Quote from him is below)

DO NOT INSTALL THIS CRAP.

It's spyware. Installs Pando Media Booster which is a background BitTorrent client that installs itself, adds Firewall exceptions without permissions and then CAINS 100% of your upload bandwidth.

Just spent the last 15 minutes purging my system of thier crappy software and this piece of spyware. Total, total bull. Avoid.

just uninstall it after you have installed apb.

Pando is a piece of software that a lot of MMOs use to download their clients, i.e. lotro and ddo, plus a lot of other f2p games. It is a bittorrent client, but it's only used to download the game, you can remove it once game has downloaded perfectly easily, it isn't going to infect your pc or anything.

yep this is what i did, its really not a problem.

Ahh okay thanks for the explanation guys, downloading currently. Is there any OcUK gang/clan/guild etc. set up for APB? As from what I remember from playing it before it is an MMO which gets atleast 30 times more enjoyable when you are playing with others.

Hank_Marvin · 28 May 2011 at 17:04

im on obeya eu, looking to meet up with some peeps from here for sure.

i'm an enforcer.

Be prepared to queue to get in. Its very annoying.

Yeah happened to me yesterday but the dev's say its just because of some network issues which will be sorted if they haven't already.

Im Obeya, but criminal! **** THE PIGS!

Monkeymatt · 31 May 2011 at 20:14

I am on one of the US servers, seem to be less d***s around and no queues for me

I going to catch you in the act and steal your loot your dirty bugger.

Surely you are getting some nasty ping with connecting to US servers? Well if your from EU that is.

Nope, I'm from the UK and the ping doesn't seem to be that bad...

Hank_Marvin · 1 Jun 2011 at 11:53

I guess when you play it's not peak time there so less people.

Anyone made a cool character yet? My mans pretty duff currently, might make an alt that people would recognise.

Paul. W · 1 Jun 2011 at 12:05

Currently have our clan on the Obeya server. Look out for Tango Down

Were all crims, and have about 2/3 seperate groups going every night, spread between waterfront and financial.

Loving the game atm, not come across many hackers at all really. Im not a hater, and im optimistic that GF will sort it out in due time.

Hank_Marvin · 1 Jun 2011 at 12:22

Yeah lots of talk on the official forums about hackers but I've not seen anything.

Say I saw you what would tell me you were in tango down?

Paul. W · 1 Jun 2011 at 12:29

If you hover over any character in the game, it will tell you their name, the clan they are in, their notority rating, and if they have any dirty money (for enforcers mainly)

Also a few chars have TD tattoos or logos on themselvers, like geeks. lol

Hank_Marvin · 1 Jun 2011 at 13:04

cheers dude, normally things happen fast.

Can you shoot someone on the other team out of mission? Not tried before and not at home now.

Paul. W · 1 Jun 2011 at 13:08

You can shoot pedesterans etc, but not other players if they are not in the same mission as you. The only exception to this is if they are notority 5. Then anyone on the district can go in for the kill and the bounty.

I'm on Obeya (I'm now back on the EU servers) as a crim and I will check you guys out as I need a clan.
