Transparency About Devs Testing Methodology
Has there been any information from developers on how they test new changes, mostly playtesting?
You would think that a company with 6 years of experience in this game would already have appropriate QA practices to foresee all issues with Knight's gameplay. Some of these things could literally be spotted in 1-2 matches tops.
Devs should make a dev post/blog indicating how they test new changes and describe their process in detail. I think the players deserve more transparency given atrocious QA work and horrible gameplay design choices. It's not easy to spot the bugs given all the spaghetti code and interactions, but it should be easy to anticipate what kind of bugs can happen given their 6+ year of experience working with this mess.

LMAO, you are funny... actually, this is quite sad tbh

Their testing methodology is pretty clearly immature and ineffective. It’s almost certainly 100% manual and involves zero regression testing.

What is sad? You're not contributing anything to the discussion and just saying nonsense.
Players do deserve to know how the game is playtested given very questionable game delivery updates. It's been like this for years and the situation is not getting better, but worse.
If they release their testing methodology and there is nothing wrong with it - then it's completely fair and we can't criticize BHVR. The conclusion will be that game is barely manageable, and devs cannot be criticized for bugs as the testing process is as good as it can get given the circumstances.
However, if there are things to improve, then devs get useful feedback and can manage their game better.
I mean clearly, something is wrong internally, maybe it's time to go public if the mess cannot be solved internally (and it clearly can't)

Nono, I'm completely with you. I've been playing this game since 2016, seen every dev stream in the first 2/3 years or so (until they became meaningless PR streams containing no actual information) and clocked in several thousand hours.
There have been so many bug-filled game breaking updates, so many questionable decisions, meaningless test builds, prove that their QA is just helpless against their spaghetti code... seeing people being so hopeful to get transparancy and and explanations for BHVRs thought process is just sad... and funny at the same time ;)

I bet they don't have one PlayStation they do any sort of testing on
