Why do we rarely get balance updates?

So good I don't see anyone using it.

It is obtained after killing all the bosses. In addition, it takes a lot of time to level it up. Most of the DST players are most likely boss rushers. And the other ones who drop the game after the bosses don't use it either. Megabasers  are generally strange people and for some reason ignore this subject.

it’s just the best weapon in the game, yea you get it pretty late, but for redoing fights it’s so good.

But why would you want to at that point? You have to redo fights with the worse form just to upgrade it. The time investment makes no sense by the time you get it.

Looks like there are only going to be a few more rifts bosses added, and we might just get a better weapon along with them.

On pubs, you'll be worried that the world will be reset before you even get any value out of killing old bosses. That's why it's a bad weapon when reaper and jellybeans exist, and you aren't going to see people using it.

some people often want to redo fights, and due to the addition of a ton of new bosses it’s going to be even more useful late game.

I am someone who stay on his worlds for another like 500 days after killing every boss but the weapon is still trash

The weapon is indeed the strongest in terms of raw power but it’s not worth it at all man it’s so mush effort for a little different

Это оружие действительно самое мощное с точки зрения грубой силы, но оно того не стоит, чувак. Это просто лишняя трата сил ради чего-то незначительного

A lot of things in the game are not worth the effort, especially raid bosses.

Everyone will go after a really good item regardless of the difficulty. For example: Polar Bearger Bin, Nightmare Saddle.

And another even more impactful example would be the upgrade of the Enlightened Crown.

The curious thing is that the big nerf of this weapon was almost "silently", because it waited for the beta version to end.

Saying that it is the best weapon in the game seems incredibly naive to me, especially when the main argument is to use it to REPEAT bosses that you defeated with other weapons.

I even think that Klei regretted having created the item, but it would be ugly to remove it from the game. So they simply nerfed it.

Каждый будет стремиться к действительно хорошему предмету, независимо от сложности. Например: «Ящик полярного медведя», «Седло кошмаров».

И ещё один, даже более впечатляющий пример — обновление «Просвещённой короны».

Любопытно, что большой нерф этого оружия прошёл почти «бесшумно», потому что он ждал окончания бета-версии.

Утверждение, что это лучшее оружие в игре, кажется мне невероятно наивным, особенно когда основной аргумент заключается в том, что его можно использовать для ПОВТОРНОГО поражения боссов, которых вы победили с помощью другого оружия.

Я даже думаю, что Клей пожалел о том, что создал этот предмет, но было бы некрасиво удалять его из игры. Поэтому они просто ослабили его.

I'm not talking about difficulty, but about the cost of resources.
DST bosses are very easy,  but fat.

Yes, what's actually worth the effort are 1k hp bosses from ds which you can kill with a spear and a log suit. Crazy how you can't go one post without mentioning how bad raid bosses are

Да, на самом деле стоит усилий, чтобы убить боссов с 1000 единиц здоровья в Ds, которых можно убить копьём и в костюме из брёвен. Удивительно, как вы можете писать пост за постом, не упоминая о том, насколько плохи рейдовые боссы

Wow. 1k hp. A boss who has hundreds of tentacle minions around him ( And 4 respawn for them ).  Everyone says raid bosses are good, but I say they're bad. 
You make it sound like you can't kill DST bosses with spear + armor wood.

And yes it's worth it. DS bosses have good loot for a democratic loss of resources.
And yes, at the moment, the easiest DS boss is not Quacken with 1000 hp, but Ancient Guardian, because his rework made it incredibly nerfed due to the boring 6-second stuns from DST.
