Will we ever get more updates that aren't just new killers or survivors?

You mean like the Archives or the Doctor rework? The answer is yes, they release major updates that aren't just new DLCs with every mid-chapter patch.

I see, so actually the question is not "will we get more major updates with new features added" but more along the lines of "will we get more of the kind of updates that I want to see for the game". In that case, I couldn't possibly say.

I realise that, the point I'm trying to make is that just because the changes that are being made aren't the changes that some players, yourself included apparently, are hoping for, doesn't mean that those changes aren't significant or meaningful for the game as a whole or the gameplay experience.

Things like character and map reworks, the Archives, major meta-shifting updates like the Ruin rework, and the introduction of the MMR system are all examples of significant, game-altering changes which have been made or announced just in the last six months or so.

I respectfully disagree, and that's the point I'm trying to make. It's okay if you don't personally feel that these changes were significant, but that doesn't mean that no significant changes are being made.

Again, if you're asking whether we will ever get more significant updates beyond just new DLCs, the answer is absolutely yes. If you're asking whether we will get more changes that you personally consider significant or game-changing, that's impossible for anyone else to answer with certainty.

Personally, I would love to have Perks which are not tied to a character. Especially some good Survivor Perks, because for the Survivor Side, getting a DLC is always "meh". You get a character, Level it to 40 and will have 3 Perks you dont want to have in your Bloodweb. Awesome!

Also they did not add general Perks in a while - last ones were Thrill of the Hunt and Small Game, if I remember correctly. And this is quite a while.

On the other hand, I dont want to have more Perks, because this would just increase the grind. Giving the opportunity to take 2 out of 4 Perks from the Bloodweb was a step in the right direction and I am thankful for that, however, to equip every Perk to every Character still takes a lot of time.

For Survivor (because I know the number of Perks by Heart): Those are 74 Perks. With 3 Tiers each, which makes it 222 Perk Tiers, 219 in total to purchase (since every Character starts with 3 Perks on Tier 1). Until Level 50, if I always get 1 (or later: 2 Perks), I get 49 Perk Tiers. So when first reaching Level 50, I have 170 Perk Tiers left, if I get 2 Perks every Bloodweb, I still need to do 85 Bloodwebs with roughly 50k BP each, making it over 4 Million BP for each Character to get them with all Perks. It is a little bit less for Killers, since they have less Perks, but not that much.

And if you want to do that for every Killer and Survivor, you have to do it 20 times for Survivors and 18 times for Killers. Thats a lot of BPs. Sure, it is completely optional to do that, but especially as a long-term player, you need some goals.

But the Bloodweb Grind is frustrating, you get a new Bloodweb with 4 Perks which are useless. So you pick some of them, just to be greeted by other 4 Perks which are useless. Meanwhile you are searching for your Perks and they dont come up - like, I would like to play with Iron Will on all of my Characters. But until it is on Tier 3, not worth running. Same goes for Killer, why should I ever use Whispers on Tier 1? This basically tells me that the Survivor is on the Map, cool!

So yeah, more general Perks, not tied to Characters AND less Grind would be great, in my opinion.

But what I would prefer the most would be if they would reduce the numbers of Chapters to 3, and have one update for Balance each year. New stuff is exciting and surely it generates money, and I am also hyped for the new Killer and Survivor, but once this Hype is gone, you see all those issues that are still in the game, from a Balance perspective and technical perspective.

This is why I became a killer main. I used to be pretty much 50/50 but survivors are basically just skins (as in no survivor is unique) and it only stays fun for so long. With killer each one is unique and has a different power for you to learn how to use and different interactions between perks and powers. Different killers can give you a totally different experience, survivors cannot.

Even with different perk builds survivor is always more or less the same at its core. If that core survivor gameplay was a bit more interesting (more stuff to do as a survivor and/or more interesting and engaging objective for example) I'd be more likely to play survivor from time to time.
