Ignoring the fact that cloth in real life is not so dark it absorbs [I]all[/I] light and leaves what looks like a black void walking around. [I]That[/I] is why zero lightness is ugly. You're best bet is to stick around 1-2, use 0 sparingly and only if it fits, for small details like rims, stitches, etc.
The only time I use 0 0 0 on an outfit is because that part of the outfit was [url=http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/884112065000221818/919BB82ABB941E4B38F6BDB24A430155B695399B/]decal-based[/url] and I needed to hide the original cloth detail. It'd look better if it wasn't pure black, but it was a necessary evil.
Funny thing is G1 noticed this, and even had Devil Dog mention that pure black just makes you stand out from the world, not blend in.

All that aside, it doesn't even look like Piciul is using pure black anyways.
ill try adding some blue or grey later on, ill post pics :)
Using full black clothing is also not beneficial for hiding. Black is not affected by darkness as well as grey

Props for not dressing your Enforcer like a punk kid. This guy looks professional as fuck.

You been spending too much time with DD brah.
using full black clothing is also not beneficial for hiding because there's a RED FUCKING NAMETAG glowing above your head

Forgot that he actually said that, as strange as it sounds it's been a while since I last played APB :v:

Putting aside that I wasn't referring to the game itself, I wish we had a mod that disabled nametags under certain cirumstances

nothing is beneficial for hiding for hiding when you think about it
stealth is an utter joke anyway
I just started playing this. :v:
How does everyone get that scarf/facemask?

Is there also any way to get a customizable gas mask?

Even full black cloth doesn't look [i]that[/i] dark when there's any kind of light around. Certain materials can get close, but nothing that is ever used for tactical wear.
All he needs to do is bump up the brightness [i]just[/i] enough that you can see the creases in the uniform, that's all.

theres a desert scarf that costs about 200 g1c on armas i think, and theres a balaclava in the tactical gear pack (pictured in my post appove) but its not available anymore
dont really know about gasmasks, i only started playing again about two/three weeks ago after a one-year break, first time enforcer and im loving it so far even though theres not really that much difference at all
[I]Slightly[/I] less black, bought some goggles from the marketplace aswell and used a different font for the text on the vest
Too bad i dont have any goggles with full black/seethrough lenses, and i have no idea how to unlock any either, all i could find was preset ones which look silly :(

Much better. It sucks about the goggles, those preset ones are the only ones you can get.

i've seen others with customized goggles, but i dont know how they got them.
probably imported from RTW characters
Anyone on Joker want to team up for a bunch of smash and grabs tonight?

get some boots and tuck the pants in them
Whats the point of having decals on clothing if they just looks like complete ass?
I guess this camo I bought is for nothing.

Are you applying them correctly?
[QUOTE=NRApros;41324824]Are you applying them correctly?[/QUOTE]
I was. And, I finally got it good after about an hour of tinkering around.
And then the server goes down. :v:

Make sure you're using the wrap around option, lot of people make that mistake.

Anybody else getting the 580MB update? It looks like my launcher is downloading a shitload of songs, and I don't know whether it's an update or it's just my copy that is fucked and it's just redownloading missing songs.

snip
basically we (everyone playing APB on the official servers combined) have to score a certain amount of kills over the week, and if we do, the Asylum district will be unlocked temporarily
Oh I forgot about that event. Good reason to play again!
People should post their Obeya Enforcer IGN's here / on my profile / in my inbox so I can add you in-game and play with ya's!
err here's a little list of people that play on Obeya at all that I know of
JohnBadass (don't need to tell you who that is)
Ingrid (me)
Martinz, Miralynd(MartinPL)
though nobody is on (including me)
Does anyone on Joker have a Flecktarn camo decal they'd like to sell/give away?
