Dreams. What's the first thing that comes to mind? Say it slower, softly... allow the emotions and memories to flow. Dreams. Why do they exist? Why can I perceive such an unknown world? A vast world so baffling, but yet leaves me at a loss of words for such profound feelings of peace and happiness? Is it because of... me? Who I was, who I am, who I want to become? My mistakes, my past regrets, what are my dreams trying to say to me? What are Dreams? A withdrawal from the Hell I created...? An escape from reality; from my past? Dreams... simply a minor stage of the human sleep cycle. A pity that such fools waste their time complicating pointless things in life. Indeed, a pity that we humans are wasting our lives to discover more about ourselves, don't you agree? We, humans, were magically formed with too many unanswered questions. It's a shame that our emotions are one of the hardest to answer and an even bigger shame that so many fools are trading their lives to discover an answer that does not exist, wouldn't you agree? Emotions... why do we feel how we feel? Why can't words describe how you felt when your lips touched upon the soft, warm cheek of your first love? Why can't you describe how it felt when your heart became ever so cold, longing for the protection of her warm hugs, longing for the people in your life that have become only a memory? You were given such immense happiness, but shortly robbed of it, only leaving yourself as the blame while your ice cold heart continues to shatter into tiny fragments inside of you. It spreads throughout your body, your blood is freezing up, your heart's slowing down, you start to feel numb, but you smile. You can no longer feel the pain, nor the guilt of her death, the blizzard inside you slowly abducts your consciousness and gives you one last vision. Your life flashes before your eyes, the life that she was a part of, lets you rejoice one last time. There's no point in me asking you questions that you can't answer. Forcing you to acknowledge the demons in your mind that you've lived with, it's not straightforward. Going through the mental suffering of recalling our worst memories, only to raise even bigger questions about our emotions that we can't answer consciously. But what about our unconscious state? Can we find these answers in our dreams? Perhaps that's what these tiny visions are trying to tell me! There's much more you have to understand first. Dreams are a prevalent experience that can be described as a state of consciousness identified by emotional, sensory, and cognitive circumstances during sleep. We can't control our body, nor can we control what happens in these so-called visions. We dream four to six times each night across our five major stages of sleep, yet occasionally we awaken ourselves not being able to recall a single one, another question with no answer. Are dreams really the key to answering our questions? Remember those fools I talked about that wasted their lives on these questions? Those fools proved sleep does not help people escape from their unwanted, tragic memories. Life is not hand carved to provide us with the best explanations for all of our questions. Humans have evolved but still, follow a cycle. After the basic necessities of life are met, one desires to feel love and affection, which is often mistaken for lust. Humans are social animals, we cannot survive without interacting with a companion, but once we acquire it we abuse it. After the basic needs of life, after love and affection, we desire power. Why? That's another question for another unwanted dream. Another powerful vision of what feels to be an eternity of pain, another cry for help that travels nowhere beyond the boundaries of your unconscious soul; a Lucid Nightmare. I hope you guys enjoyed my first piece of writing here, sorry if I went overboard on the "depressed writer" vibes ahah :lol: Special Thanks to @sterre933 for inspiring me to write again ^_^

Nickname Changes: StuntmanJadside ----> @Jade xXpowerdynamixXx ---->

There was a turret balance that was released yesterday along with a revamp to the Holiday Paint, which you can find here. Of course, this will heavily impact the gameplay for certain people, but there haven't been any recent changes to the actual physics of the game that I'm aware of.

Good Luck @Intellect!

I can't guarantee how much longer I'll be able to help, or if I'll always be free/quick at editing the videos, so we're looking for you guys! Think you've got the talent to make some nice and clean parkour montages? Fill in this application to join us and we'll see what you've got!

GOOD LUCK @Mzay BB

Swift, you'll definitely always be remembered by me and the rest of the members of this parkour community that you've changed. Watching your OMP back in the old days was always awesome, I never got to understood how you would always think of new things, but never seem to run out of ideas. You were always consistent, I didn't understand how or if it was even possible to be more perfect at what you do, and then I was proven wrong after you also joined FnF, and with Darrex made it one of the best and most creative parkour clubs there is across any of the communities of this game. I can't even explain how much of an honor it was parkouring with you from time to time, for you it was probably nothing cuz I would always mess things up :P But believe me it was always crazy being the presence of such a perfect person at what he does, and I've always looked up to you even as you leave. And that's just my personal experiences, man, just think of all the lives you've changed among the entire community with all the help you've done. Countless hours dedicated to curating the parkour section, striving to develop and teach new tricks, seamlessly handling parkour contests such as PS 2017... I could go on and on. Life moves on with or without people, but we always hold the memories, and I'm glad you'll be back from time to time. I wish you all the best in your real life and future goals, as those are what matter more. I'm gonna miss you uncle potato. <3

Thanks so much for the feedback <3 And yes, I'll keep my commentary shorter next time and try to edit in more slow motion to make sure the voice is timed with the video! We're really happy to know you guys enjoyed the video! I'm sure the club will continue in this direction and try to find other ideas as well for different series of guides in the future. Thank you to both of you :wub:

Enjoy our first episode of a new series of guides called "Parkour Concepts." Today we briefly explain how the reflectivity of the ammo released from Hammer and Ricochet is useful in Parkour. I've left this club. It was a pleasure and an honor working for both the old and new AoP EN, wish you guys the best of luck ^_^

Can we take a moment to acknowledge how dope the new main page looks now? :heart_eyes:

So sexy :weary: :wub:

Thank you for your feedback! No hard feelings, you are just sharing your opinion as everyone else is, but personally I'd have to disagree on the point where you said that the video is basically showing one trick, this magnum concept of shooting ahead of himself to get him somewhere. Only 2 tricks are like that in the entire video and on one of them the main focus was how our Railguns shot to look fancy, but nonetheless it does revolve around the concept of a Magnum shooting ahead of himself to get him somewhere. We're sorry if you feel like we disappointed you, but my point is that there's more to the tricks than you can see in the video, and part of that I'll admit is due to the editing. I guess it's a new style we started shifting to, and we've had a lot of positive feedback on it but the only negative feedback was regarding how the tricks were shown, and that's to those who are interested more in tricks rather than editing (and I definitely respect that). We've seen and heard the feedback, the editing will be improved in the future to properly show the tricks more, I'm sure this is why you feel that the "video basically has one trick shown," because it's somewhat hard to see the other tricks, but once again it's all up to people's interests and what they consider is important in a good montage. Thank you once again for your feedback! Best Regards, Jade <3

Waaawww, I love such amazing artwork! :o Excited to see more from you, best of luck :*

We're back guys! We're ready to finally be more active than ever before, let us know what you think of this Random Parkour Montage and show your support for the awesome people behind Legacy Parkourists <3 Have a great day everyone!

Good point, I can't disagree on that at all, but our intention was to introduce that text can be conveniently used in parkour montages to briefly review a few things, the original plan was to use this in guides, with some voice over it to support the brief phrases we provide and to help go over the things all other parkour clubs don't realize or explain. We were definitely aware of the problem of using it montages; the viewer not being able to read the text, look at the trick, understand what's going on, and then realize the text may have not been so helpful. Editing in the style of a montage doesn't make it easier either. We thought we should use it anyway because that way we could get some sort of input to help us prepare for how we will use it in the guides, which again was the main idea. For example a second opinion on the positioning, size, relevance of the text all helps make sure our first guide and future videos with new ideas will be better, but surely that doesn't mean we need to sacrifice the quality of current montages. A misunderstanding between editors is one of the factors that led to the problem of speeding through tricks, and we will surely correct it next time. To put things in short, the text was to give our montage something special and something that can tell our audience that we want to try new methods of teaching parkour. Although it wasn't that successful, we will definitely work on improving this in future montages and you can already expect a major improvement in our guides. Thanks a lot for the feedback Swift :wub:

New video's up! Today we prepared a Parkour Montage for the map, Barda! Let us know what you think, we hope you enjoy the tricks as the quality and difficulty of them is much better than last time, but we're still open for your feedback! Our goal as an Academy is to teach our students the art of Parkour, so the difficulty will slowly rise as the students in our Discord Server continue to learn. If you haven't already, come join us with this link!

C'est un beau journal! :wub:
