Development

This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Fill the rest of the development section akin to how v6.0 page does it, and add commentary of it (recommend that the comm testers themselves do this section)

Multiple community testers of Bloons Card Storm for Version 6.2 have shared results of the tests for the update. A complete list of changes during development of version 6.0 were released by community testers who worked on the update behind the scenes:

• Camo Blue Bloon and Camo Green Bloon: While initially proposed to have the Health of Camo Blue increased from 110 to 130, Ninja Kiwi stated that they didn't want Camo Blues to have equal or more Health than Camo Greens, so instead the Camo Blue was reworked to cost less but have less Health.
  • Camo Green initially had its Health increased to 140, but reduced to 130 after playtesters were unsatisfied with its balance.
• Camo Lead Bloon The initial proposed buff by Ninja Kiwi was proposed to buff it from 150 to 170 Health, then changed to 220 Health by Ninja Kiwi, but was reduced to 200 Health by community testers. The health buff is reduced because it made Camo Lead Bloon too annoying to play against without specific anti-Camo tech.

Some community playtesters noted that aggro vs control is an important balance change consideration; although aggro was deemed overpowered by average players, nerfs to control cards that doubled as anti-aggro were prioritized more than nerfing aggro in general.

Notes

• Ninja Kiwi mentions that there are still "some remaining elusive crashes" that they'll "keep investigating".
• Ninja Kiwi stated in their Version 6.2 patch notes that a lot of balance changes were done with the help of the community testing team:

“

This is a massive balance pass we worked on in conjunction with the community testing team! Several rounds of testing, long discussions and even a few crazy ideas helped put this list together!
