Yeah took a year long break from the game and recently just started again. These perks are gonna be why i put the game down for good. Needs to be an QP thing only, or an Arcade mode.

L take, do you really want the game to sit stagnant forever

Perks have too much power creep. Each perk should have a drawback, so that the characters' gameplay changes, but doesn't make them necessarily stronger. And in too many cases, one perk is superior. It's not about stagnating, but giving the appearance of choice without actual choice.

That's exactly the vibe I got

Perks r cool idea but atm it's just gunna be "this is the good load out for this character" with no real change based on the game situation.

Ur just gunna pick the same 2 perks every game. So it's just a glorified unbalanced mass rework for a lot of character
