The dev team needs to stop putting quantity over quality

Ever since they announced their incredibly tight schedule for new content (The roadmap) I've noticed a trend of them focusing on new content over making the old content quality. I think it's quite obvious that they need to be working on new content 24/7 or they won't be able to keep up with their roadmap, wait... They already can't keep up with it ! Am I the only one who remembers how they promised us leaderboards ? Seems like they completely forgot about it.Furthermore due to the team not being the biggest, it really hurts the quality and balance of already existing content, there are countless things that the community wanted for many months/years now: new endgame/hatch changes, reworks to useless perks, reworks to overpowered perks, rank rewards, leaderboards, Freddy changes, new objectives/gamemodes (that's just to name a few). The dissapointment that chapter X was met with highlights yet another problem, if they keep releasing new killers that often they'll soon run out of ideas and the new ones will simply be worse/more boring than the one we have now, Legion seem really uninspired and in my opinion are a waste of a multi-persona killer. Im afraid it'll go even further downhill in 2019. What are your opinions on the subject ?

    I realise that they are, I'll always support them, I've never loved a game as much as I do dbd, but I want to shed some light on things I believe need to be addressed

    They are working on all the stuff that you mention. Patience is key.

    And they work on killers ahead of time so in my eyes I don’t see them rushing out their content. The Spirit was being worked on during the release of The Clown. And The Legion was already being worked on when The Spirit came out. 

    Not everything going to be perfect and not every one going to like everything that is being released. 

    I personally like what the devs have been releasing( The Clown is ehh). I find The Legion one of the most interesting characters and I can not wait for his released. 

    I think overall some people have their expectation high which is okay because you support the company and you wish the best for them. However you have to remember that doing it is way much harder than just saying it.

    @witas you know how hard it is to put a leaderboard into a game? Its ridiculously hard, and they are releasing content fine, exact month, exact fixes, there is not big problems with them at all

    Is this a desperate attempt for them to redesign Nea into the sex symbol you desire. Deal with it she's a plum. Ugly by design, ugly by nature. She is the grit of this game.

    With quantity they get more money, which preffer more than quality, just an example is enough(dedicated servers)

    They have done a GREAT Job with all the events and chapters since june. Cut them some slack. New store, cosmetics, events, adjusted perks, adjusted maps, trying to balance the game, 3 chapters and you are still not happy? Maybe play something else.

    Changes to this game were always slow, so the road map hasn't changed a thing.

    I'd prefer it if instead of a killer/survivor/map every quarter they did a QoL patch 1 quarter. So 3 content and 1 QoL annually.
