That's a ban. Heckler chet.

APB VR when?

Bro bro bro. Why be so emotionally invested in something that has nothing to do with you? I'm not saying this is a good idea, but the Innova crowd is inevitably going to be losing out in this merge. And while it certainly isn't Little Orbit's fault, it doesn't mean we can't show a little compassion. It costs us nothing to do so.

Luckily LO doesn't seem to share your point of view as Matt has said they are taking more time with the merge in the hopes of preventing players from losing more than they have to.

Here are the numbers:

It seems you missed Matt's post.

Finally... someone else with a brain.

thats not 3.5 It is the same engine. Thats not 3.5

Fine I'll spoil it, just over 500 average players the month before the acquisition. Just over 500 average players last month. Sorry if the facts don't fit your narrative, but I can't help that.

If only there was some place that had like a chart that could show such things. Oh well, no reason to get so "steamed".

Same as before Little Orbit. What is your point?

They had their new accounts. They never went anywhere. Not to mention there was a multitude of players falsely banned who finally got their accounts back. Justice.

How clueless do you have to be to think cheaters stopped playing once banned in a f2p game with neither IP nor HWID bans? Unreal.

This is actually a very good point. We are currently operating under conflicting rulesets. On the on hand as Saxtus points out, any editing of game files is clearly stated as being against the rules. Without even getting into custom configs, even the Advanced Launcher does this. I've no idea why the official rules haven't been amended to match the new stance of Little Orbit, nor do I know why we cant seem to get concrete answers as to exactly what IS and ISN'T allowed as far as file edits go. Its done nothing but further divide our tiny little community and well... that sucks. 3.5 can't come soon enough.

Homie, you know if I could, I would. Especially for you.

Change. That's about as simple as you can state it. LO knows this, and its coming.

Pop now is roughly what it was before LO took over.

While I do find the ATAC to be a lower skill weapon. I wouldn't change anything about it. It's still nowhere near as good as SMGs in cqc, ditto for Ntec at range.

You don't think a game being nearly a decade old will have an effect on pop? We also had more pop both at Halloween and Christmas. The problem wouldn't be 6,000 players globally (not region specific), we'd be lucky to get back to that number. The problem is the game never appealed to enough people to support an average player base more than 6,000. That is APB has NEVER been a popular game.

For the same reason the game itself has been dying. Dated game. No updates. No new content. Never had a regular pop above around 6,000 players. Not sure why you only mention NA, EU is dying as well, ditto for Nekrova, and of course Han died a while ago.

I think we can all learn a lesson here. Never give concrete dates.

How should I know which you'd prefer?

Anytime. Hopefully I'll be seeing you on OTW soon to help us get this mode ready for live!

OTW is currently "open" to SPCT and QA. The only thing there is to test is RIOT. Once RIOT is in a playable state, OTW will be opened to the general public in the hopes that players like you can help get it perfected for launch. Its not that LO wants to block OTW from players, its that allowing everyone on at this point would be counter productive.
