[2023] Balance Patch, versus mode and the Future of Vermintide

Originally posted by Bib: But after the fatsharkstream today and the revive of the "versus" Project the changes start to make sense in a bigger picture, where a BH Main could with a Pot staggerchain ult a humanplayer controlled Monster without the later one having any means to counteract or react to it. From a designer perspective that might be bad gameplaydesign. Thus some of the Balance changes (ig the sacrificing of the BH mains playerbase) now and in future might be part of the preparation for this big thing memed and named "Versus".

If my assumption is right, then they really should have been honest about their intentions with the Balance Patch and Future Things to come instead of publishing a Patch dev blog, that had some paradoxical statements.

I know we said we wouldn't be responding to any questions for now and leave them all for later, but we'd like to nip this one in the bud, so we'll make an exception in this instance!

The balance changes that came with the latest patch, and any and all balance changes that we make to the base game, are not and will not be made for the sake of Versus. This is because Versus will have its own separate balancing from the other game modes: if something is problematic in Versus specifically, then it will be changed for Versus specifically.
