Kill Switch update: The Mastermind has been Kill Switched due to an issue with Virulent Bound. The Mastermind will be re-enabled once this issue is fixed.

The Amanda's Letter add-on for The Pig has been Kill Switched due to an issue with incorrect RBT count.

Was the clown update that broken?

Why don’t we have the PTB content yet? Don’t we normally have it about 2 weeks after the PTB goes live? Just wondering if they are re-working the re-work.

    I think they decided to add additional week after ptb, cause 2 weeks wasn't enough. But as leaks say, i think we will have additional 4th week.

    So wait update at 9feb or 2feb if we get lucky

    Being quite honest with how the PTB turned out in my view delaying the update is the only right option. If they launch where the UI, Clown and survivor animations as is it's going to upset a good number of people. Not saying anyone will quit over it but I feel community reception being positive is only beneficial to everyone.

    Biggest offender from the PTB is the UI though in my view. To me the Clown changes is primarily just a reload buff and addon pass which gives him less options because of how redundant the acceleration bottles are.

    tl;dr - I am 100% okay with updates taking longer if it means the update is better because of it. Just communicate this with us if the delays get bad enough.

    I think they realized their mistakes of a Binding of Kin. With choosing to release that chapter bugged. Now it could be this is the Mid-Chapter and they can delay it without a fear of profit loss. But with all the bugs and UI mistake in the Mid-Chapter they'll wait a little longer which I'm fine with actually happy.

    I think the work on UI and Animation changes causes them to have to work longer than usual. That and the disaster that was last chapter. Maybe they have planned in more time for QA.

    It's been 3 weeks since the PTB goes live since Deathslinger's ptb. This is nothing new whatsoever. Now if the update isn't here on Tuesday then this post is still pretty much true because then it would be like "Hey what happened devs"

    Facts.

    Edit - to provide substance to my reply. It feels like more and more time is being devoted to fixing things they break with an update than on the content of the update.

    That’s a fair point. A lot of resources were suddenly redirected to creating Victor’s locker block mechanic and it’s relevant animations.

    Honest question how would you feel if BHVR started splitting updates?

    For example they just shipped the maps because those are clearly done but put the UI and Killer update on the backburner for an extra week or so. How would you feel about that?

    That’s not a bad idea. The maps don’t typically seem to show up with lots of bugs.
