You just figured that out? K2 Networks -> GamersFirst -> Little Orbit

Change consumables to mods with a cooldown, like they should've been in the first place.

Welcome to the result of having zero ingame and out of game moderation, allowing the playerbase to do whatever the fuck it wants.

You're delusional if you think any further development of this game is going to happen. LO is just K2 v4.0. Same old shit, different branding.

If you want to be taken seriously, you should probably learn basic English. Feels like I'm having a stroke attempting to read your garbled nonsense.

There certainly were, there was just a barrier to entry that forced them to make a new account anytime they wanted to hop in there. Ultimately resulted in them only being an issue once in a long while, and then only lasting for however long they stayed online that session.

It's the norm for that group, no surprise here.

With segregation, the cheaters would have to reroll new accounts every day to gain access to the more active population they can easily sweep through. The mindset of a cheater is one who is lazy, looking for cheap thrills, so this extra effort would inevitably lead to them moving on to more easily accessible venues. This was proven as the bronze district saw a sharp decline early on, and then has been basically cheat-free for years since. The silver district was also basically cheat-free during the EAC days, but saw some minor activity since the return to BattlEye. With the removal of segregation, cheaters have no barrier to entry to access the active population. Thus, there's now a big fat flashing sign hanging above us calling them back... and they came back, in force. Used to see maybe one suspicious individual in a month back during segregation, there's now very obvious peeps every day. Plus, APB is attractive to cheating regardless of that. Action is never manually taken (LO doesn't care about cheating), which means you never are at real risk of losing your account. The one thing that could get you banned is when the anti-cheat updates, because cheat program's detection isn't always fool-proof. That's easily worked around by having a burner account to test the anti-cheat before you begin your session for the day, negating that issue entirely. This is all very obvious to anyone who gives even the slightest thought to the state of things, and who actively plays the game.

Nobody comes back for the event reruns. There's nothing new to obtain, and no benefit to grind for. It's the same old tired shit we all did a decade ago.

That's some next level projection right there.

Won't matter at this point, the damage has been done. Jericho daily peak activity is dropping by a few players every day, consistently, for the past week. Their mistake was removing the segregation, without also employing ingame moderation to deal with the inevitable return of blatant cheaters.

Hmm... wonder why that is... glances at my signature.

Hit the nail on the head. RTW decided it'd be a great idea to build their game on a broken foundation, which to nobody's surprise has led to the game still being broken to this day. As if that wasn't enough, they had the great idea of going with a buy + subscription based model, at a time when that model was literally being burned to the ground with hate by consumers (it's literally dead nowadays, the only currently successful title using it is Final Fantasy XIV). In a totally shocking twist, APB failed and RTW went bankrupt. K2/G1 (later rebranded G1/RG) bought the deceased title, and overhauled the entire game's systems to bring it more in line with modern design philosophy (well, modern at the time anyways). However, it's K2, so naturally they just kept making shitty decision after shitty decision, until the game burned for a second time. LO picks up the game, and then abandons it after their initial plan to make a quick buck on the BR-like mode fails miserably. Welcome to present day.

Point to where I said I dislike the game. Whoops. Hating the company does not equate to hating the product.

Neither of those things require the engine upgrade to happen, but you keep just hoovering up all the slop LO is serving you without question if that makes you happy.

Additional? It would need to be able to use skins in the first place to have "additional" skins added.

Hmm, I wonder. What could ever give me that impression about you, and those like you.

I touched on it here: Except it wasn't a ghost town. There was consistently at least one active bronze district, and commonly a partially active silver district. Now, there's barely one active district. The golds that refused to play (because they'd have to fight other golds), now play because they have easy opp to farm, which leads to the bronze/silver population leaving (and the golds thus becoming less active because they're again forced to actually fight other golds). Add into the mix the massive uptick in blatant cheating (no longer a barrier to entry - needing to reroll new accounts to access bronze district when silver dies off in the later hours), and population continues to decline. Of course, I don't know why I bother to directly respond. You're not open to hearing any of this, because "tHeRe'S nOtHiNg WrOnG, gAmE's BeTtEr NoW!1!!!11!"
