There being no killer specific changes in recent patches makes the game stale tbh

I like when killers get changed, because you either see more variety or more fun matches to overplayed killers. Recently tho there's been almost no killer specific changes which has left survivor and killer feeling stale.

I know the perk update did change a lot, but it was sad to see no twins, onryo, dredge, artist, slinger, etc changes in the mid chapter.

I feel like BHVR wants to drastically change problematic killers like the ones mentioned with different game mechanics, when in reality all they need is a few number tweaks.

    What we need is more midpatchs for year. With map, perks, items, addons and Killers changes.

    i've said this before and i'll say it again, the 3 month content release schedule is killing this game. dbd as of right now is a tangled mess of years worth of band-aid fixes and outdated game design that needs more time and resources to fix than the current model allows, not to mention the stunted creativity for killer powers that also comes with it. we wouldn't have killer powers as rushed and generic as nemesis's t-virus or artist's dire crows if there was a reasonable amount of time to expand on the barebones abilities they're stuck with now.

    we don't see these big killer changes as often as we should because so much work is funnelled into new content that inevitably becomes an issue down the line, and those pile up faster than they can be fixed.

    One quarter is a map release/rework.

    One quarter is a Killer/Survivor release.

    One quarter is a game mechanic update.

    One quarter is a Perk update/Killer update.

    Each quarter would touch on something everyone uses.

    And if each quarter is helmed by a different team, then each team has a year to work on something.

    However the problem becomes how to attract new players, as licensing and new chapters really does help with that.

    Wasting dev bandwidth on the auto mori thing was such a boondoggle. So many killers and perks need adjustment that I cannot fathom working on a system nobody asked for

    We’re starting to see some of the bandaids getting taken off. With Base kit BT and possibly if it comes out Base kit UB.

    There starting to make some perks basekit so you don’t have to run them. Because of the base BT I’ve stopped running it cause it’s already there I was able to free a perk slot up. I think it’s good how there finally coming off but there’s still issues that need to be fixed like maps and certain killers
