This isn't just "most used", it's "used by 99.9% of the playerbase", which is a distinction that matters.

Events are pointless, nothing new is ever added. Even if there was new stuff added, it'd just be the same massive grind bullshit that every event in this game is.

CA pretty much completely invalidates the other green mods (flak can be better in cases where there's excessive explosives usage). So by definition, it is imbalanced. As others have said many, many times in the past... CA should be removed as a mod, and everyone should simply have CA3 as a baseline. They'd also need to do a balance pass on kevlar and flak though. If I were to redesign kevlar and flak... I'd make them inverse to each other. Kevlar would make you take 40% less bullet damage, but on the flip side take 20% more explosive damage. Meanwhile, flak would confer to you 60% reduced explosive damage, but you instead take 20% more bullet damage. I've run the math on most of the common equipment most people use, and these percentages would be fairly reasonable. Frags still wouldn't kill you if you were wearing kevlar, and the HVR 762 wouldn't start 1-shotting you if you wore flak, just to give a couple of the more egregious examples. The big question mark on this though, are concs. They'd start being a 1-shot again, to people wearing kevlar. Personally, I believe concs shouldn't do so much health damage in the first place though...

It's being left to die, that much is obvious. Maintenance mode doesn't cost much to maintain, and people still spend money on the game. A relaunch isn't happening though, the IP has been sold and the new owner is a mobile game dev.

Congratulations, you figured it out.

It's genuinely sad how many of you are actually buying into this.

Meanwhile, I'm over here with best consumable Epinephrine... Which could easily be directly converted to a permanent modification, with no further balance tweaks being necessary. Although it'd be nice if they pulled back that nerf a bit, and lowered it to a 60 second cooldown (was originally 45 seconds, IIRC).

For one thing, they've lost all their IPs (including APB). They've also been clapped in a lawsuit that has exposed their dire financial status. Additionally, the lawsuit brings to light information that lends more evidence to the all-but-proven theory that LO isn't working on the engine upgrade.

Considering this game is the only thing they have left (and they don't even own the IP itself anymore), their financials are unlikely anything worth looking into anyways. The more interesting question would be how many staff are left as part of the LO/G1 company.

Which they aren't working on, so what's your point? The person you quoted is correct, nothing is being done with this game. It's in maintenance mode, which costs next to nothing to maintain. Considering the amount of money people still spend on this game to this day, Matt will be able to keep the game in maintenance mode probably indefinitely.

Fucking over the player is not good goldsink design.

Why let the players earn a weapon (especially one that's very strong, and also very cool) for free from an event, when you can force them to have to spend real money for it?

Imagine looking forward to being lied to. Seek therapy.

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

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.
