About that Pyramid Head change...

I'm not necessarily against the change on principle or anything, but the way the devs have gone about it is annoying.

For a change this significant, there should have been a PTB testing period to confirm that it works as intended and keeps the overall gameplay progressing as the devs intend. Just making changes out of the blue without significant testing is unhealthy for the game.

Do you want bugs? Because that's how you get bugs.

    So, your argument is that doing hotfixes, something that has been done for YEARS, is unhealthy for the game? Bold words for someone who isn’t a game dev. This also has nothing to do with PH, or the changes made, or why those changes are good/bad. What is even the point of this post?

    And if you play any online video game, you should know that there’s bugs no matter what. There’s no such thing as perfect coding unless the game in question is Pong.

    It's not about hotfixes. It's about not running the changes through the PTB for widespread testing. A lack of testing is what got us the Nurse bugs, sound bugs, and Wraith bugs. Testing is lacking, and I'm not the only one to think so.
