Tbh after the frequency that patches and extra content was coming out before, I am very surprised that it was completely dropped after the level up patch, without so much as a little balance hot fix to correct what t3 weapons upset. Think about it, with 1000 people playing, and probably very little ongoing sales, you know that it would not make sense for anyone from Tripwire to be actively working on the game for all this time. I think the game is fine to play as it is and people staying away "until its balanced again" (not saying Omar previous poster but in general I know there are lots of these ppl) should maybe swallow their pride and just come back already lol. Its not like KF is a competitive game and on suicidal I don't think anybody could say its not a challenge unless they insist on continuously camp grinding the U room on Biotics lab.
A community balance mod would have been a decent idea but probably would have split the community, effectively reducing the player base more.
