@ V0LK0V I'd be interested to see what else you might have. I'm all over some preserving history

I don't think I have anything hiding around in my drive, but I'll take a look around and see if I can find anything.  If I do, I'll slide into your DMs.

[Post Your Old Community Photos!]

I don't have any more photos to share, never was one to take or be in lots of them.  But I do have some old silly stuff from Dri Reign, TeamNT, and a couple things that Kicken and I worked on.

First up, Classic Colors pack. @ Kicken and I worked on this, and finished it, back in December 2007.  Here is a signature we made to advertise we had made it:

Download link here, because why not.

Next up, some music.  This is in no way exhaustive, but it is a collection of APB Music I collected that started in 2005 and terminated in 2011.
Link Here!

While we're at it, here is a pair of songs made for/used in Reborn from 2006 & 2009.

Lastly, some shitty comic characters I made for the Dri Reign and TeamNT communities, which were made largely of people from a variety of w3d communities at the time.  I haven't seen so many of these folks in such a long time.

 

And that's all I really have, or at least all I can find on this rig.  One day I'll dig out old hard drives and crawl through those, but this is all that I have currently.

I was never even remotely decent with the spy, whatever possessed me to make this, I'll never remember.

Thats cool, thanks for sharing!

I just have one question though...

Are you actually Post Malone IRL or just a doppelganger?

I think the above picture is him from way before W3D Hub, and the below one is after rejoining W3D Hub.
This place is nuts.

You two have no idea how many times I have actually heard this.  Fortunately (???) for me, when I "looked" like him, he was 11 years old.  Fuck I'm getting old.

Thanks for sharing these! Nice dog, congrats on your marriage and where you are in life, and we are so glad to have you back.  

He's our furbaby! Thank you for being so welcoming, and for being such great wards for this community. 

I also forgot to add a picture of him all growd up. 

[So it has been like 14 years...]

Remember those old Photo Threads we use to do and dox ourselves?  Well, I figured I'd share some stuff that happened in my life since back in the day, you know, after I got banned back in 2007 :V

While digging through the old Wayback machine, I realized that I was banned pretty much the same month that my now wife, then girlfriend, first got together.  Here is a our Prom photo!

Not too long after that, we were off to college!  I apologize in advance if you have these notifications set up through email, but @Kicken is going to get blown up a bit, we went to college together after all! I'll do my best not to include photos of him though, since he's not around right now to give me permission. :V Speaking of college, here is me on my first day of College, ready to waste $90,000 that will end up taking just under ten years to pay off! :D

I don't have any photos of it that are worth sharing, but it is around here that I began my ten year career at GameStop.  Fuck GameStop, that is all :D

My then Girlfriend and I also rescued a mutt around this time.  We named him Duke, and the silly old bastard is still kicking around today!  He just turned 10 last month actually

Fast forward some years, and after being in a relationship for 8 years, my girlfriend and I got married! 

@Kicken was actually one of my Groomsmen, and may or may not be in this photo with us!

A few years later and I found my true hobby calling!  Video games were a massive part of my life, for a large part of my life, however they have taken a back seat to Miniature Modeling and Table Top Wargaming! Here is a photo of my first Warhammer 40,000 army, Salamanders Space Marines!

I no longer have these brehs, as I grew tired with Marines of the loyal variety, but I currently have several armies.  Adeptus Custodes, Imperial Knights, Astra Militarum, Necrons, and my favorite of the bunch, Emperor's Children Chaos Space Marines.  I started my Emperor's Children as a Kill Team back in 2018, here is a photo of the full roster, lead by then named The Pure Asmodai :D (he's the snake boi in the center, though its hard to make out in this photo)

And we come to the relative present.  My wife and I have been married for five years, together for 14, my dog just turned 10, I no longer work at GameStop, and I have a new hobby that I love!  From my wife and I, love you brehs, and I'm happy to be back to being a regular around these parts <3

Volkov

I don't like playing as a Volkov.  The reload times make me ineffectual at killing anything except light vehicles and small buildings (but not base defenses).

The AP rounds just don't work for me, regardless of range.  Granted, this is more I'm bad at the game.  Instead of making me swap weapon modes, I'd prefer it if his AT rounds just had a decently sized AOE that was great for killing infantry and did virtually no damage to anything else. I'm not sure how this would work mechanically, but it would give people like me, who suck at the Infantry Combat in w3d, a reason to use a Volkov aside from just wasting lots of money when my team is already winning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heavy Tanks

I think they need either just a little bit more durability, or a bit more DPS.  I don't feel a big difference when I fight a MT with a HT or vice-versa.

Melee units don't work in this engine. Especially AI controlled melee units.

We've failed with the Chameleon Spy, we've failed with AR dogs, what makes you think it will suddenly work out in APB?

I mean, the ants, -kind- of work.  This isn't going to be perfect, its an engine that is twenty years old.  We're just looking for more new things

Back in the day though, it was proposed that purchased dogs could roam around the base as passive defense. Rather than this, perhaps purchasing a dog means that you become a dog handler. Basically your standard infantry unit (maybe a Starshina or Kapitan could also purchase them, but I see it as a bad idea to give Volkov or Shock Troopers this ability) gets a dog that follows you around, sniffing down spies and hidden infantry units. This also prevents issues with melee weapons that this engine has, since the AI would be handling that and not a human.

I like this idea quite a bit.  Making the Kennel a simple structure where you press a button and receive doge is very appealing.  I will say that Volkov should be able to buy a Chitzkoi though, super mut that you can only have one or two of that mulches all infantry and is tanky.

[Allied/Soviet Tech Centers]

Someone mentioned on discord already giving allied a map, like the chronotank uses, but able to see all enemy units (and not use the map to teleport ofc unless you are a chronotank) after 10-15 minutes (GPS satellite launching) in the match for as long as the allied tech center stays up. Liking this idea really

Removing higher tier units when destroyed is, of course, the obvious (I'd suggest c-tanks and Tanya, against TTs and Volkov.)

But this just feels like the cheap way out; I like the idea of using the Tech Center as a secondary superweapon building of sorts, granting the Soviets perhaps a parabomb or AI paratrooper flare, and the Allies their GPS as suggested above, and possibly a similar helicopter drop of a few AI rifle soldiers. Yeah yeah the Chinook is Soviet, that doesn't stop Allied helicopter reinforcements every other minute in the Red Alert campaign.

I like all three of these ideas.  So, I'll throw my hat in with them.  Also, how about a bay that spawns a crate every 5 or so minutes that can have a random positive effect?  Its unpredictable, so its not inherently OP, but still could represent exploring technologies, kind of like the name suggests.
