The devs should be given massive props for their communication this update

I know a lot of people were worried about the update due to the meta perks being nerfed which could have created unfair gameplay like gen rushing or tunneling. However, I felt the devs were very thoughtful about the changes they made and why the perks were used in the first place.

They understood that killers felt the games were going too fast, and they made base changes to alleviate that problem. They understood how survivors dislike tunneling and camping and gave anti tunneling incentives to solve that problem. They also explained their reasoning for changing the meta perks and, for the most part, made good changes that didn't destroy the perks. Finally, the 25 perk buffs were a delight to see. I even got my Sabo buff idea in the game, so I'm very pleased!)

Now I know that not all changes will be liked by everyone, myself included, but I think we should repay the dev's clear communication to us by giving detailed and well thought-out feedback about what we like and don't like.

Thanks devs for making improvements to clear in your communication with us about balance changes. I think you're doing a pretty good job so far

    I'm a big fan of most of the changes. The anti tunneling/camping mechanic probably won't be enough I believe but at least they're working on it.

    It's actually a super great update after reading it and I look forward to seeing how it plays out in game. I don't really have any quibbles with any of the perk updates and the progression update is fantastic. My only sadness is the BBQ bloodpoint buff going away, but hopefully I can use the role queue bloodpoint bonus enough to make up for it.

    The only thing I'm not too sure about is the 90 second gens. It definitely will help a bit, but eyrie, rpd etc are still going to be terrible.
