KI Team taking it very slow w/ balance patches, "it's way too early"

[STORMS]

Ever since balance changes became possible a few years ago, it seems the community always wants endless changes. They want the "easy way out" of something they just might not have found the right tools for yet. While some changes are very necessary in games - every change has the potential to do a domino effect.

With Killer Instinct still being one of the newest games this was bound to be an issue as well. After taking in some Sabrewulf complaining on Twitter, Double Helix Game producer, Mike Willette was not hesitant to answer some questions. Many will appreciate his response...

Would you look at that NRS. DH is giving their game a chance to develop before they start doing big balance patches.

I was half joking, NRS patched injustice well, the problem is that they stopped early like usual.

 

[Compbros]

NRS gets a bum rap at times.

 

[GamerBlake90]

Can we please stop with criticizing NRS for their patching methods? That isn't what this thread has been made for. -___-

Like DH, there is always something new to learn. Hopefully NRS will learn over patching is just as bad as never patching.

Don't worry about it, LOL.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

This is stupid for people to take shots at NRS

How about realizing how much NRS has done for INJ. KI has its own issues like ZERO tourney scene

It's a big problem and I hope that it improves . Wish best for both

 

[Mr. Mileena]

NRS does patch the game too much in too little time, but at the end of the day, they did a pretty good job with Injustice.
I hope for MK10 they take it a little bit slower, but NRS def listens to the people and tries to do their best to help the game,

Overall, I'm happy with how Injustice turned out to be,

 

[Doombawkz]

Honestly theres no much to patch, they fixed the obviously unintended stuff and the game is so freakishly balanced that the debatable worst character is in that position because she is "too honest" for the game. When each character only has one or two 6-4 MUs, and one or two 4-6 MUs and the rest being dead even, know what that's called?

A good fucking game.

Props to NRS though, people give them wayyyy too much flak. Injustice took a bit but it got to the point now where theres no MU that should be higher than a 7-3/3-7 at the worst, given very obvious exceptions like in the case of Joker.

My only issue w INJ is imagine if what the game was in oct was released in April

Total kreygasm

I feel more time was needed but it is what it is and we all should enjoy what we have

right?
they did a good job with it.
Took a huge step forward with mk9, but still had probs

took an even bigger leap with injustice and it isn't flawless but def very good

makes me very excited for thei rnext fighter

 

[MILE_HIGH_CLUB]

F*** a balance where our content ppl are asking for the wrong stuff...oh and nrs supports the community like no other what they because y'all feared scorpion? Ok what did they do to BA Supes KF DS...FGc really has some the most ignorant humans lol. I'm ready too see Ki full game balance checks can come as soon as all the content is released.SW is not op he is just an easy character to win with. And only because he has a dash teleport

 

[MILE_HIGH_CLUB]

I prefer NRS methods of a patch over Capcom anyday _.

You mean, low gun shots.

 

[Darklurkr23]

As long as the first patch takes away Web on Heavy Combo Breaker/Counter Breaker and Glacius Ice on hit, I'm good.

Games needs to breath before they're messed with. Period.

Congratulations No Surrender Gaming clan.

"eclipse unblockable on wakeup"

Nice one.

Joker has no 8-2 matchups and very few 7-3s.

I want to know why this game has no tourney scene, what I also want is people to stop fucking complaining, I keep seeing cd jr sabredoge this sabredoge that, then dr dogg whining about glacius in the KI forums, etc.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

Inb4 people start saying "this is a balanced game, hold that NRS" please don't forget that it's a 6 characters game. If they make a balanced 30 characters game then NRS will hold that, until that moment stfu. Thanks.
