Do you think Dead By Daylight is a finished product and should stop being messed with by the devs?

By that I mean the UI, animations, gameplay loop and core game systems in general. I understand adding new chapters is fine but all the map overhauls, cosmetic and item updates is not only fundamentally changing how the game looks but soon I fear we will be in an oldschool Runescape/WOW situation where half the fanbase will want to play an older build of the game and I feel the Animation/UI change was the straw that broke the camels back. There's an old proverb that generally goes "When you replace enough boards on a ship is it really the same ship?" When you start redoing cosmetics, maps, animations, ui is it really the same Dead By Daylight we've been playing since 2016?

Finished product? at times it feels like it's early access

The ship thing is a philosophic experiment. And most philosopher come to the result that it is still the same ship. And i would say its still the same game, too. Today most games are changing. A graphical update is more visible, so the change seems more drastic and you notice it more. But when you would compare DbD 2018 with DbD 2016 then you would see that the game changed drastically even before the things you mentioned.

And this development of the game is good, its easy to be nostalgic, but when we are honest: DbD 2016 had many issues, its good that it got changed.

Alot of loops and maps need work, as do core gameplay such a powers, items, perks hell even base regression, gen kicks etc.

No it's still in "first look/reveal" stage

Am I the only one that hasn’t noticed the new animations?

Once the DS, OoO, Iridescent Head and Freddy nerfs come through, I would think the game would be in a great spot. The only thing that the game needs is a 6 month focus on removing bugs, optimization for console and server improvements. Maybe remove breakable walls and add some more fog to the maps to encourage some stealth play.

Finished Product implies they aren't working on it anymore, which they are, so no
