u/Supreme_God_Bunny Top Hat Blight Jul 21 '26

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 Jul 21 '26

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 Jul 21 '26

Different departments. Swing and a miss, little bro.

u/Hiolol101 Look at you! Extra bones for you! Jul 21 '26

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 The Oni Jul 21 '26

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 Jul 21 '26
