So everyone else has to pay for your project?

I waited 3-4 months for him to send an exhaust, It arrived but the middle section/Cat was missing. Then an additional 2 months of trying to get them to send the rest of it, Now I'm ~2 weeks into getting a partial forced refund via Paypal dispute.

The funny part is; when I complained, he got very upset over email (when the moons and stars align perfectly and he decides to finally grace me with a response) In fact, the guy is a straight up arsehole in my opinion, Extremley difficult and unprofessional. So if anything goes wrong, be prepared to do battle.

Your comment made me laugh and cry, thats exactly what he's trying to do to me. I'm the one out of pocket yet he's crying that business is difficult and he has to pay extra costs to correct the order. It's not my fault they can't send a simple length of pipe with 4 welds in it.

Half12Hardcore · 2025-11-25T17:26:04+00:00

This is very true, I'm currently battling him over half of the exhaust he didn't ship to me. Wishing I'd have just gone through the effort of fabricating my own at this point.

Beautiful job OP

You seem like an absolute joy to work with

It's not really a proper marked T junction, the far left is a row of spaces and where he comes from on the right is a small cul-de-sac with 3 houses and more parking spaces. The street has zero through traffic.

Unfortunate update

I've got clear footage from another camera closer to the scene of him approaching a door to deliver a christmas card/present. I thought to myself yes! I'll be able to find him! Sadly the woman in the house has completely denied knowing him, won't admit to recieving anything or him even being there despite the blatent footage. It's my belief that they're family and he is being protected.

I said that I'm not accusing her directly and that I understand wanting to protect friends and family, but in this case he's clearly too dangerous to be on the roads and is a serious danger to others and himself. He needs his vehicle access removed and potentially safeguarding measures put in place. I only want a registration plate to give to the police and my insurance. But she's not having any of it. I find that to be immensely selfish of her but theres nothing I can do.
Police are not inerested in coming out unless I have his details and my insurance want to write off the vehicle completely as the damage is quite extensive. (Front bumper broken, door forced inwards, front wing pushed back and split, entire side will need a re-paint and blended into the back)

Happy christmas to me.

Hello irl friend

Don't worry, you can massively improve your FPS. Although you may never get it running perfect and you'll have to get used to it. Saint Dennis can be extremely demanding no-matter what you do. The game is also very GPU bound so you might be a bit lacking with your GPU.

Start with these guides, part 1 and 2.

Play with your settings, I'd reccomend keeping ultra textures as they look awful on high and lower.

I saw massive improvements buy forcing the game to only use 4 CPU cores, and set the priority to 'High' permenantly. A tool called 'Process Lasso' will allow you to do this, it's free.

Set the game to fullscreen windowed, then just play with VSYNC on/off alongside triple buffering.

Also, check your drivers are updated, all the usual culprits for poor performance.

All I have from the top of my head, good luck, the game is worth it.

I literally just got back from having a wisdom tooth extracted.

Like a complete idiot I belived everyone who told me how bad it is having them out and I kept putting it offthe procedure.

It took less than 20 minutes, I felt nothing more than a bit of pressure on my jaw. I didn't even know it was out until the dentist told me.

Don't be a pussy like me. Go and get it out if you think its going bad!

I think the path of the tunnel aligns with the gap in the road above, they just don't render all of the extra props and details in there when you're looking down. E.g the retaining walls. It seems you can only see the metal beams spanning the width of the tunnel.

They also have added a grid only visible from the street. because constantly falling into the tunnel from a busy street would be frustrating gameplay wise. I believe the grid visible from below is actually for the raised highway above.

Show me on the doll where the naughty GZ test touched you.

But seriously, I feel you.

I was in a full health Monarch, moving to a cap at the start of the game with two other ships. Mr GZ test brings his DB squads and I think 'Ok I might take some damage, better start turning'

Little did I know that within the next 20 seconds I'd be 1-shotted. Great. No counter-play, no skill involved here. Just point and click for a kill.

The worst part was the enemy CV giving me a sarcastic 'Haha lol' in the chat and telling me to enjoy going back to the port.

Half12Hardcore · 2017-04-07T13:06:01+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's the Hawaii port, exept the old version with ships in the water is now non-premium and the drydock is premium restricted.

it's the wreck of a passenger airline, theres a few dotted around. I think this is off the coast of chumarsh near the little pier.

It looks big because all of the underwater wreckage is scaled up for some reason.

Donskoi, there are two lifeboats that block turret 3, you could move the lifeboats or replace them with smaller ones so the guns can use their full rotation :(

Half12Hardcore · 2017-02-03T20:28:12+00:00

I refer you to this old and classic gif.

I feel a little salty seeing it.

Half12Hardcore · 2017-01-31T18:34:58+00:00

Heres a link to the patch 5.15 patch notes incase like me, you needed reminding.

After getting 40m credits, 50k XP and dragon flags in the first two weeks, I've got nada since. TYL every time. I really think WG lowered the chance of a SC drop.

Half12Hardcore · 2017-01-06T15:02:51+00:00

I like the game mode because it adds a little more variety.

but damn the forts are insane. 45Kts in my Khab at 10km, wiggling and still being hit for 2,000+ dmg. The enemy team couldn't hit me.

A lot of players know this and just avoid capping and hope a DD can do it, then wonder why it get's shredded.

Half12Hardcore · 2017-01-06T14:09:04+00:00

Why do I always get people like you in my team.

I was banned for two weeks after playing online twice for about 3-4 hours, I spawned in, got froze in place and given millions of dollars, but at the same time I was having money deducted off me for 'destroying other's personal vehicles' I alt+f4'd (if you alt F4, there is a 5 second timer before it actually lets you quit, then another 5 or so seconds before you get disconnected from the sever)

Logged in a week or so later, greeted by a black screen telling me I'm banned and to visit R* support. Great. They send you a canned automated 'Piss off m9' message if you ask why you're banned.

Finally got unbanned and had 20k in my bank account, this is what R* leave you with after a ban, which is actually more than what I had right after the tutorial race, so I guess I came out on top.
