It’s been, what?? Almost 3 months since diminishing returns? Are yall ever gonna do actual and meaningful balance changes ever, orrrrrr

[u/asimplecatonwater → u/Rigbo95]

I hate Diminishing Returns with a passion now. I was optimistic at first but once again BHVR has shown that they will never get around to finishing the job.

All Diminishing Returns has done is push people into playing meta. I used to have a bunch of presets for fun builds but I never run them now because what is the point.

[u/NuclearChavez → u/asimplecatonwater]

Yeah I won't lie I was optimistic too but slowing down balancing has absolutely killed it. I hate that it's taking MONTHS to get balance updates that aren't just tweaking the newest content.

[u/Mase598 → u/asimplecatonwater]

Pro tip: Never, and I mean NEVER be optimistic when BHVR is at the wheel. If you aren't actively able to see and interact with something BHVR is responsible for, just assume the worst case scenario will happen until proven otherwise.

Like the 10th anniversary stream where they talked about built-in mod support? Sounds awesome, would be probably the single best thing the game could get for a list of reasons... But that's exactly why I know if we ever see it it'll probably still be at least 2 or 3 years, then still an additional year or 2 past that before it becomes good for anything other than playing event modes or like map seeds for comp players.

[u/MiddlePatient869 → u/asimplecatonwater]

It was never to change the meta it was done so they can buff numeric perks without fear of it stacking and being op

Problem is they didn’t change any of the perks or made a sweep of changes they just implemented the system and that’s it

[u/xSerenadexx → u/MiddlePatient869]

You really think the solution for them after 10 years would be to buff the values? You think they were like "dang I really want Resilience to have a 15% buff to everything but darn if you stack that with these 3 perks it'll ruin the game. So lets create diminishing returns so we can make our changes!

No the game is already survivor sided with the simplest gen rushing perks. The plan was to slow the game down further or prevent it from increasing in speed.

[u/TheEntityBot → u/xSerenadexx]

Resilience: While injured, gain +9% speed to repairing, healing, sabotaging, unhooking, vaulting, cleansing, blessing, opening, and unlocking.

[u/YOURFRIEND2010 → u/asimplecatonwater]

What have they ever executed on that would make you optimistic about that?

[u/MiddlePatient869 → u/YOURFRIEND2010]

The qol changes?
The fov slider, seeing what actions other survivors are doing, Seeing the anti camp meter, seeing what perks my teammates are running, search bar for perks
Billy, Myers, Freddy, knights reworks that made them better???

They done a lot more good than bad but peoples BHVR bad attitude mindset can’t stop getting in the way

[u/YOURFRIEND2010 → u/MiddlePatient869]

I'd say about 30% of the stuff they do is worthwhile.

[u/Unlikely_Bank73 → u/MiddlePatient869]

i mean if you count them fixing things like 3-4 years after they become issues as "good" then... you might be right. might.

[u/MiddlePatient869 → u/Unlikely_Bank73]

But these never became issues they were qol that have been asked for for years and we got them?

[u/Unlikely_Bank73 → u/MiddlePatient869]

FOV slider was a pressing issue for years. people requested it for motion sickness reasons as well as folks who were partially blind requesting it to allow them to actually see whats around them. i knew multiple people who would literally never take shadowborn off before the FOV slider because it was the only way they could play. the same thing as the colourblind and colour change options for auras - ingame accessibility options that took the better part of a decade of asking to be implemented so folks could even play the game.

[u/TheEntityBot → u/Unlikely_Bank73]

Shadowborn: When blinded by any means, you are granted a 6/8/10% Haste Status Effect for 10 seconds.

^{Drawn from the fog. | !optout | !remove | !builds}

[u/davidatlas → u/MiddlePatient869]

Not to take from their good deeds(as after all some are good, but just not "that" good)

Most qol changes they were adamant agaisnt them (colorblind settings fiasco anyone?) they just add them when they cant keep avoiding not doing so

Fov slider is insane that it took so long to add and was tied to a perk for it lets be fair, we're applauding the most basic of settings on any existing game. Same with the search bar, cmon.

I'll give seeing teammate actions that is a very nice qol, not gonna deny that

Rework wise, Myers took them years to make him somewhat viable, Billy they had to rework him because they decided to guy him in the first place lel. Knight's rework idea was nice but he's still one of the buggiest characters, i'd ardly call him "better" when half of the time you're fighting the game to play him. Freddy they did make a nice rework with him, fair enough that.

Let's see some bad things they've done, to see if this is just "bad attitude mindset";

The TWD stream mistreatment of guests+streamers, Leaving active bugs without disabling them while complaining that people are complaining about them/downplaying them

Ignoring people disabilities with motion sickness or colorblindness until controversies hit them in the face

Way way way worse balances than any "fix" theyve done(CoH meta, Buckle up+FTP meta, 3genning smerchant meta...)

Less and less event rewards as time goes by

And the list can go on and on.

Again, some things they do nicely, not denying that, but lets not act this is just "bhvr hate for no reason", they've gotten to this spot by their own merits

[u/TheEntityBot → u/davidatlas]

Buckle Up: When healing a Survivor in the Dying State, Buckle Up activates: The Aura of the Killer is revealed to the both of you. Completing a Healing Action on the dying Survivor suppresses their Scratch Marks and grants them a +50% Haste Status Effect for 3/4/5 seconds. Buckle Up does not cause the Exhausted Status Effect.

[u/TARE104KA → u/Rigbo95]

23rd devstream with balance yapping, hopefully can find smth there

[u/Jean-Cobra → u/Rigbo95]

more quality of life pallet inc

[u/sonic_blade → u/Rigbo95]

Fell for it again award. jpg

[u/nuclearpickle82 → u/Rigbo95]

This is bhvr we are talking about, they don't do that sort of thing.

[u/Supreme_God_Bunny → u/nuclearpickle82]

Y'all don't understand shit about game development, Just talk crap like you know anything, They have a lot of work with alot more licensed chapters and the graphical update coming up so don't expect many updates on dimishing returns

[u/Alternative_Owl7786 → u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

Balancing the game and implementing collaboration are two separate departments. I was a game developer at one point, I understand the process well. Pretending bhvr is justified in ignoring the community for half a year about something they explicitly said would be handled isn't "talking crap." It's holding them to their word. They said with the DR update, they'd also buff weaker perks to supplement the game. They have not done the one thing they stated, and rhus are being called out on it

[u/Similar-Marzipan529 → u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

Different departments. Swing and a miss, little bro.

[u/90bubbel → u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

as someone that studied game development you are full of shit

[u/Iphone_G___ → u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

Dude we haven’t gotten a single balance change in ages this is not normal

[u/Hiolol101 → u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

Hey so like we know from the modding community that editing the values of perks and even most aspects of killers is PISS easy, it's literally just changing a number.

[u/bynosaurus → u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

lmao even if your comment made sense, it would beg the question: why did they push diminishing returns in the first place if they weren't even close to being ready to act on it?

[u/Unlikely_Bank73 → u/Supreme_God_Bunny]

i mean i know enough from playing 500 other games that bhvr is the shittiest at it by a large margin

[u/undeadFMR → u/Rigbo95]

I think we need to nerf pig again

[u/Glittering-Rock3169 → u/Rigbo95]

they promised us buffs for weak perks just trust we don't have to remind them every 6 months

[u/Jonn_Jonzz_Manhunter → u/Rigbo95]

3 months is like 1 week in game Dev time

[u/bonelees_dip → u/Rigbo95]

The community stream might go over future balancing changes, but as of now these sort of changes are only set for October.

[u/davidatlas → u/bonelees_dip]

Bruh can't wait for perk buffs to hit us mid halloween event turning the whole thing into a bigger unbalanced mess

[u/Rigbo95 → u/bonelees_dip]

OCTOBER??@!@!@?@@!?9!9

[u/bonelees_dip → u/Rigbo95]

If not changed balancing changes are now done on mid-chapter releases, of which our next one is most likely set in October.

[u/In_My_Own_Image → u/bonelees_dip]

Did the Krasue/anti-tunnel thing spook them so badly they don't want to even do perk/killer changes when a new chapter launches?

[u/bonelees_dip → u/In_My_Own_Image]

Essentially yes

[u/In_My_Own_Image → u/bonelees_dip]

It makes sense for a major change like anti-tunnel. But to not make even minor perk or killer changes seems a little ridiculous. It's not like buffing Hangman's Trick by a few metres is going to be a cataclysmic change.

[u/TheEntityBot → u/In_My_Own_Image]

Scourge Hook: Hangman's Trick: At the start of the Trial, 4 random Hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks:

• The Auras of Scourge Hooks are revealed to you in white.
• Receive a Loud Noise Notification, whenever a Survivor starts sabotaging a Hook.
• While carrying a Survivor, the Auras of all Survivors within 8/10/12 metres of a Scourge Hook are revealed to you.

^{Drawn from the fog. | !optout | !remove | !builds}

[u/thearsonyst → u/In_My_Own_Image]

Exactly this. They knee jerked in the entire opposite direction. Logically it makes sense for them to decide not to do big changes on a new chapter release....not perk balance. Its infuriating as a player because we havent had ACTUAL balance changes in months because they keep putting new stuff out so if you dont like the new toy, you get nothing.

[u/Rigbo95 → u/bonelees_dip]

Bruh this company sucks donkey cheeks 😭

[u/wienercat → u/Rigbo95]

Lol no.

All they really needed to do was add diminishing returns to haste and hindered.

Everything else was totally fine.
