New patch but no Dead Hard nerf
I'm simply disappointed. This perk is still holding the metagame hostage and there's no sign of any changes coming despite the announcement. This perk should be on top of the priority list, it either needs to be killswitched or "fixed" right away.
At least 3 out of 4 survivors will bring this godforsaken perk into the trial to give themselves the equivalent of a third health state. That's simply appalling.

Surely that'll be in the big dump of 40 or so perk changes that they mentioned doing?
There's light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.
How many more times do they need to say "we are aiming for Summer 2022" before it clicks in that it's most likely coming in the Summer 2022 Mid-Chapter unless otherwise communicated?
Making us wait three to six more months (at worst) simply isn't acceptable. Every single day that passes with this perk existing requires heavenly patience to endure the constant denial invoked by Dead Hard.
When exactly will that be? Give me a date. Having to play this game while said perk is allowed to exist is a torture in itself.
This meme is getting old.
It's not a meme, it's a dire crisis. Dead Hard is negatively affecting the mental health of killers everywhere.
Meme.
It will be changed in the Summer Update whit 40 other Perks and i Hope they kill this Mess finally a Good timed Dead Hard can destroy a whole Match because as a Killer u Waste so much Time because of this Perk
Im kinda scared they are going to Buff die Perk instead of nerfing it its BHVR so at awful Balancing Everything is possible 🤷♀️
But yeah they should killswitch the Perk until it is fixed
I think you're being a little dramatic there, friend. It's a big problem but there are ways around it while we wait.
And this is coming from someone who almost exclusively plays killer, mind.
Let's go through the regular patterns. There is usually a 3 month delay between Chapters, and the Mid-Chapter will release in between this time, for a total of 4 Chapters and 4 Mid-Chapters each year.
Roots of Dread was released on June 7th 2022, meaning we can assume the next Chapter (most likely Resident Evil: Project W) to arrive around September. This places the Mid-Chapter around the middle of July. We'll most likely get a PTB a couple of weeks early, and going by previous releases they'll do 6.0.1 next week and 6.0.2 the week after. A week's break and then the next PTB late June/Early July, and then the update will hit the live release after another 3 weeks have passed.
All in all, you're looking at between a 5 and 7 week wait for it to hit live servers provided everything goes smoothly and previous patterns are adhered to.
I mean i can agree with this. It's just kinda weird how a perk like undying is adjusted so quick. But dead hard we gotta wait months. Im not gonna say "survivor perk vs killer perk" because im sure there's more than that and i doubt its the reason. It just surprises me they decided to wait so long. With the general consesus around the perk and its pickrate.
i don't know why dead hard has gone so long without being nerfed, but i can say that on-release undying was absolutely not healthy for the game and should never have released. the fact that it went so quickly is a miracle, but i really wish this speed could be applied to everything, like COH, DH, Alch Ring, etc.
Yeah I agree dead hard needs a nerf or rework, but it isn't that bad as well. The game is still more than playable, for killer as well.
Dead Hard has existed for years now. And the game is still being played.
The devs are waiting out dead hard to do anything with it. It takes a while.
It is going to be with us for at least a few more months. I have accepted it and started running Unrelenting. This perk is made fun of, but it consistently comes in clutch several times a match and results in downs I would not have gotten otherwise due to Dead Hard.
PS it also works great for locker plays and if you get spinned out
I'm concerned that they seem to be ignoring the acknowledged bug with DH and appear to be waiting to fix it when they do the big Perk Rework. But until such time, it's still not working as intended and "eating" killer's powers, such as when Nemmy uses the tentacle over a downed pallet & the survivor DH's away. Survivor isn't hit - working as planned. Pallet doesn't break - not working as planned.
There are many other examples like this and apart from acknowledging that it's a bug BHVR really don't seem to care about fixing it.
Hmmmm it's almost as if they said its coming SUMMER of this year, I wonder when that could be
Really... people can't read more than 2-3 words before losing track of what's being said.
'This perk should be the number 1 priority for a fix or a killswitch' and it is and we know a fix is coming and we know roughly when we're getting the fix.
Exactly. With how much time some of these people spend on the forums, you'd think they'd have figured how to check other threads, or to google the question, or read the friggin' DBD news before posting..!
Oh my god I thought you were criticising me, I'm sorry. I've just woken up from a 2 hour power nap to have the worst drive of my life to a final exam and I'm stressed 😭😭
Hahaha you do spend a lot of time here, but you also seem to have a brain. So no I wasn't criticizing you, no worries :)
