What happened to perk balancing?

[Humam2104]

We only got 2 perks (BALANCED) and these two are the medic and zerk. Which didn't need much balancing to begin with!
Are we going to see any more balances before the game lifecycle dies?

Yes. We have been doing some perk adjustments based on survey results and feedback each update. We are continuing this trend with the next update.

The next update is the last update right? I'm really hoping it would have major perk balancing updates unlike the previous ones.

No, the next update is not the last update.

This is great to hear! I'd of course love to hear the details (or even vague notions) because I'm curious to find out how these trends are gathered.

I don't get how you got that idea mate? They did say that "a new year of content was planned", and considering they ask for our weapon and weekly ideas, I doubt they would have thrown that into the bin (unless they're looking for launch content for KF3... But that'd be strange)

This being said, I do agree with you on the fact that the tweaks and balance changes are often laughable by how mild they are. I do remember the pleasure of scrolling through a whoooole long list of balance patch changes for hours, looking at everything that the devs (not just the KF2 devs) did. Now, it's often a meager +5% extra damage or -10% max ammo...

I know that they said that it would be difficult to work out very big and meaningful changes so far into the game lifecycle, but my proposal of skipping a few updates to provide one BIG one still stands.
