Nope. i have instant queue on survivor and a wait on killer. I don't mind it, its good to switch the brain off and play survivor now and then. Shame about the bp gains though.
it's instant for me on killer, rank 1, before I had to wait like 5-10 minutes, feels good to have 10 seconds queues again
I don't think it was fixed. it just happens that people stopped grinding as killer, and also got their crowns. And the new wave of players either tried killer and did not like it and moved on from the game, or become survivor mains. But yeah killer ques are basically the same as pre-event.
Nothing is ever "fixed" in DbD. It's just a coincidence that the survivors to killers ratio in queues is about 4 to 1 right now. Cool, but don't expect it to last.
Sorry that I have to say this time and time again.
WHEN YOU DISCUSS QUEUE TIMES, PLEASE ALSO MENTION YOUR REGION AND TIME OF DAY YOUR ARE PLAYING!
These have an impact and are needed to have a proper discussion.
EU region, rank 6 killer, rank 3 survivor.
Since friday, my killer queues are slowly going back to normal, instead of brutal 8min since RE chapter, its 3min and less now. Survivor is still fast.
I play always in the afternoon after the work and hopefully killer queues will go down even more, cause I need to practice Blight
Thank you. This is a comprehensible summary of data.
Not like always this "But from my experience it is totally different maybe because I also play on the other side of the moon but won't mention that."
The event is nearing its end. So queues go back to normal.
Which means killers will become instant and survivors will have to wait 5 to 10 minutes.
What I am more curious about is how the number of daily active players will change. It increased to 100k on steam thanks to the combination of the re chapter and the event. It already went back down to average 60k.
Will it stay that way or go down back to 40-50k? Or even go below thanks to the performance problems on Not topnotch systems similar to last gen consoles.
Not sure how a 4 to 1 ratio is a coincidence in a 4 v 1 game...
Try to think about it a bit more
Sorry I am going to solve the mystery for them.
Because they are not talking about the survivor to killer ratio in a trial but the amount of people from the community queueing up for the respective role being coincidentally also a 4:1 ratio ATM. In some region, with or without crossplay, on some system and at some time of the day.
I am still confused. 4 survivors for 1 killer main is ideal and presumably what the game is balanced around. How is that a coincidence? Surely that is exactly where the devs were intentionally trying to push it. Ha ha ha... Right?
When all events are over, it will probably pendle in between 40 and 50k users during prime time.
The retention rate from all the new players will be probably low. Because lets face it, between the unstable game, the grind and how our community reacted to new players, the first impression couldn´t have been any worse.
Thinking at this point that the devs have any i fluence on the ratio between killer and survivor volunteers is at best idealistic if not wishful.
The only way they could even influence that is by showing estimated queue times depending on regions and awarding additional bp gains for the role demanding more people for the right ratio balance.
Killer will always be less attractive because most people know that even if they manage to climb to the top that survivor will at that level most often triumph. Also killer is the non stop active action role and therefore more stressing and tiresome. And killer is always the lone wolf role.
Survivor on the other hand has, given all it's downsides in solo, the option to play with friends and even use coms, beside normally friendly chatter, to help with the gameplay.
