Took a break for a month; anything noteworthy happen?

Anything interesting happen? Is the Skull Merchant still less fun than a root canal playing as and even worse playing against? Any major QoL improvements? Is the sky still falling and either Killers or Survivors (depending on whom you ask) allegedly leaving in droves? Has Sluzzy returned or has there been someone as masterful at trolling as Sluzzy come up? Are the proposed changes to DH, CoB and Overcharge live yet? Stuff like that; Master of Magic has been dominating my video game time as of late so I haven't kept up on my DbD news.

    Skull Merchant's gameplay still only appeals to a small minority of players

    Bloodweb, visual heartbeat, and several perk nerfs coming on Tuesday (This includes DH, CoH, CoB, Overcharge and more)

    Few killer buffs, mainly small ones al though Billy's overheat was tweaked a bit

    Autohaven got a few new tiles, (which some ars actually live right now!) Gas Heaven and Blood Lodge got reworked.

    And thats all I can think of atm, feel free to check out the March Dev Update and April Dev Update to know more

    The post above covered most of it but to add a bit:

    Basically now with Skull Merchant you don't get your drones back immediately when a survivor disables them. It makes her weaker at 3 genning, but now you gain increased movement speed for every survivor tracked on your radar and survivors with claw traps break pallets when fast-vaulting them.

    Medkits are getting a nerf, they will take 24 seconds for a self-heal now and the green medkit won't boost self-heal speeds anymore. Circle of Healing is also losing its self-heal ability entirely. Dead Hard, CoB, and Overcharge are also being nerfed, Overzealous is getting a buff and Gearhead got another rework. Pain Resonance also got a rework, it only works once per survivor now, but the regression got increased to 25%.

    Pinky Finger is also getting nerfed again, and they're completely removing Lightburn from the game. This means you can't burn Wraith out of cloak anymore, and survivors can now wipe away Hag's traps without an item.
