BLR Revive

[DreadedSpectre:[M.I.L.L.I]]

Hey there guys, a little over a year since BLR officially went silent... Who wants to make a vote, and maybe a petition to bring BLR back? Or at least let go of everything needed to let an outside party revive the game???

I played the game myself since 2013. I feel an urge to play it again sometimes, too. But reviving a dead game never works out. BL:R had a long and pretty life.

But then coming with "Devs killing the game"? Oh give me a break guys. I was not that pleased with the Parity Patch myself. But you don't even know that a lifespan of 7 years is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ eternity nowadays. Hardsuit Labs is the last one to blame, since it was THEM who saved the game in 2015 in the first place. If anything you have to THANK them that they kept the PC servers running for months and months on end with only a dozen people playing each day. There are a heckton of games killed off instantaneously in recent years. Just look at UT2015, Spyjinx and Paragon from Epic Games. Or Perfect World Entertainment (the prior publisher who wanted to kill BL:R off in 2015), or Nexon who killed Maple Story 2 not even 2 years after release in the western market. Or EA making people bankrupt with FIFA cards, or take Valve with their Artifact, CS:GO Danger Zone Update or even this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ platform itself. THAT is money greedy. And don't you think about arguing with me here, I couldn't care less.

Just be glad BL:R lived so long, and next time think twice before spouting such nonsense, please.

Im a beta tester and cannot agree with you on this point.The patch named ''parity'' killed this game.After this update all harcore and mediocre players left this game.People just didn't want to play ported game from console.Let me tell you what a parity patch is;
Zero recoil guns, tank builds with never ending stamina.The balance between the tank and speed builds has disappeared.Also zero recoil guns eliminate the competition.If you have better internet connection you can easly dominate players who clearly better than you.Blr netcode already broken and they remove recoil from this game.lol.Blr's already have low player count and its suddenly crashed to the ground.While many players said they even settle for the old patch, the devs never listened to the players.They did not save the game for players good in 2015.They were making money before, with the decreasing number of players thanks to the parity patch, they found it more appropriate to close and run when they was not making money.Even though PC players begged for many solutions, they did not accept any of them and made it clear that their intentions were not very good.Now are you really going to come here and defend the hardsuit Labs?This was very funny.lol

Wow, this is just sad. Are you that blind to how bad pre-Parity was? It was pretty damn bad. Parity was a mixed bag, yes, but it did a whole lot of sorely needed balance changes...

Zero recoil guns are not balance changes or destroying armor build balance.More like converting a fps game to mobile fps game.Before parity this game have esl community and hardcore players.They probably don't aim at anything, but if there is such a thing, HsLabs aimed casual players.While there are veterans who support them, how pathetic to converting your game for casual players.These are just assumptions.I'll tell you what really happened; they dont even gives a f... about any casual, hardcore or mediocore players.Porting game from consoles was the simple way, so they did it.Many people wanted this patch to be rolled back but they but they didn't listen.So its simple if you're not listening to the players, your game deserves to be die.When they announce that the servers will shut down we asked them about can we hold the game with GaaS like ps4, they refuse that.So HsLabs runined this game singlehandly and ''Parity'' is a bul.s..t!

It wasn't, and stop letting your bias doing all the talking. Pre-Parity was always ♥♥♥♥ and those 'zero recoil guns' weren't zero recoil...

... at times this is like talking to a brick wall...

[DreadedSpectre:[M.I.L.L.I]]

Update, Chrozone, I have uploaded your content to my petition. As well as T-Bone-Baggins info he posted for servers and such!

[Undiscovered]

Just go back and read the other comments, yes it's really hard for me, talking to a wall and yes this guns are like zero recoil.In the past, only players with good recoil control could use HAR after this mobile gamelike patch everyone uses HAR easly.You have created a world of your own and you are trying to oppose everyone on this issue.Parity has finished this game.

End of this conversation.Have a good day.

Okay, New-ish player here (started late 2017) but what is the parity patch? I thought it was supposed to be a patch to allow PS4 and PC players to play online together. I played mostly bot and 2v2 online matches and I never noticed zero recoil or heavy armor players moving as fast as low armor ones, was this only present when fighting PS4 players? I loved this game for the gun play and movement and armor system but now I feel like I missing something... even BLRevive has the recoil and movement system from when I last play in 2019, aside from being a little more laggy (more bots equals less lag for some reason).

A little help from the pre-2017 players would be nice.

Thanks in advance

Well, let me give you a bit of backstory. The game was originally published by Perfect World Entertainment back in... [double checks clock] 2014-ish. Let's just saw PWE's netcode had always been something of a mess, PWE wanted the game to be pay to win despite the fact that the devs not wanting that, and a whole load of balancing issues.

We're talking that, in one point in time, SMGs outdid sniper rifles in terms of accuracy while at another the HAR was the only weapon you'll ever need. It was just a mess balance wise. The thing was, the devs didn't want to play ball, so PWE threatened to cut the servers... that is until the Devs reminded PWE that under the contract they've signed, they can't do that as long as there were players so PWE put BLR on the worst servers they could find that didn't breach the contract. This led to what is known as 'The Drought'.

Parity was one part making all the code the same (using the PS4 code), and one part trying to fix all the balance issues that resulted with the game being on life support for so long. The code part did genuine wonders, oddly enough. Outside of the improvements in ping by not using poor servers, the net code was far more stable. From what I've heard, what BLR had during the PWE days was complete and utter ♥♥♥♥ when it came to net code, made worse by poor servers.

There are people here that think Parity is the most evil thing ever and refuse the truth that Parity was better for the game.

Thanks for the info and backstory, really clears things up. I knew about PWE trying to mess with Hardsuit Labs but I didn't know they went out of there way like that.

Just avoid some of the posters here, they are really bad when it comes to the 'Parity is Evil' stick.

Truth seems to hurt for you. We all seen and experienced it, not sure why you gotta lie.

this past days i was thinking about how good it would be if it had a battle royale mode, and how they can make a lot of money too. Think about CoD Warzone, and, this game its' a real cyberpunk game type, don't you think? i just have 26 hours on this game but i really enjoyed playing it

[Letifer]

Would rather have a new BL than revive this one, it would never get the same attention as a new game
