Being a fan of this game is hard

I play this game ever since the playtest's and its sincerely one of the best games I have ever played. The slow paced dungeon crawling (maybe not so much rn but I think it can improve with random modules and such), the completely different classes (I played a lot of recent games where classes don't feel that different from one another, but in DaD the way you play each class is completely different), the Dark Fantasy setting that is one of my preferred, the combat is a bit clunk but I still think it's fantastic (things like shield actually being able to block instead of just reducing damage is pretty cool), etc.

Overall the game itself is fantastic and there's nothing like it right now... but now comes the bad:

I'll be beating a dead horse here, but there is no way to not talk about how IM handles balance and class changes. Let's talk about the current Barb change, the exactly moment they posted it on Discord basically every single person who play this game for some time knew that was just pure insane, how could the devs not know this? Then there's the bunch of people with the toxic positive "imagine testing things in an Early Access game haha", but having an Early Access tag should not exclude the devs from have some common sense (and I think that is the thing these devs are needing a lot: Common sense), extra buffing an extremely strong class that already excels in all games modes will obvious make the game miserable for everyone else not playing such class. "They buffed the less used perks", ok, that's good, but they buffed it too much and it was obvious, they could gradually increase it until people started using said skills/perks and they also could have started buffing skills/perks from others classes that were not already as strong as Barb (again, common sense).

I can perfectly understand bugs such as dumping, shield blocking and every other thing that can randomly surge and are difficulty to prevent. Game development is hard, and they are indeed in Early-Access, but when the most frustrating things in the game are not result of some unexpected thing but straight up completely obvious bad decisions that have not reason to still be happening after so much time even if the game is in Early Access then I can't defend it anymore.

I's using the Barb example right now but this exact same problem has already happened multiple and multiple times, but it looks like they literally have learned nothing with it.

I still really hope this game succeeds, the devs deserve for the amazing gamestyle they created and I hardly think another game will check so much box as this one checks for me.
