This game feels abandoned
Am i the only one who feels like this game falls into the category of it feels free yet you actually payed for it
everything overpriced the license killers are all weak and unobtainable by normal methods
The balance is.... do i even have to say anything, we all know what's going on
The rift should be free tbh, 10$ for bunch of cosmetics for killers or survivors you don't even play is hardly worth it and you can't even make it in time unless you grind so hard and lose your braincells in the process (just remove the auric cells and set it free for all )
Meg crossed the 100 cosmetic line while freddy doesn't have a single one or most killers have only one
performance is overall just the worst thing
players honestly feel more toxic than S9 league of legends (FYI is the most toxic season)
honestly set this game free and nobody would even notice the difference because it sure as hell feels free
its fair to get your money back from the amount of work but aren't making it a little annoying, by putting a paywall at EVERYTHING
you know the least thing is at least make old license killers/survivors obtainable by Iridescent Shards or make it so you can get license killers/survivors after few months/years of their release
this game is unique very very unique i never seen anything like it before, but just because it got that luxury doesn't mean you can just shove anything and expect people to be happy about it
seriously everyone appreciate what you are doing for the game but honestly these past years it feels like it was abandoned, only staying on life support with survivor cosmetics and some few tweaks here and there
the game has obviously gain back some of its players, but with the current MMR and SoloQ is think its just about to die again
and let's not forget about twitch prime rewards, you give players cosmetics for survivors they don't even own
i have a skin for Mikaela and Haddie yet i don't even own them, the least you could do its give the survivors with the cosmetics
look its obviously BHVR are still new the multiplayer scene , beside Deathgarden, which imo was much superior to this game most other games were just singleplayer, but isn't 6 years enough to learn a lot things
but honestly this game feels like a mobile game with the amount of paywalls, hell the mobile game feels much more nourished than this one which just weird
look what im saying is this game feels like overwatch, you think the devs are cooking something exciting but they end up giving you cosmetics for survivors that is
I think BHVR should just revamp the look at the game from a different angle, forget the maps or balance or the 600 nurses u meet everyday or the amount of boons that kill you inside when you hear them, the whole game needs a bit of refreshment, and yes it will take a lot of work but better to make it feels new and refreshing than risk it dying in like 2 years or 3
and this has nothing to do with gameplay or something, this is how the game transformed over 6 years, from something unique and amazing, to the lamest game that is on life support
and no i have ALL killers so no im not complaining about the fact i can't buy them, im just talking in general
Comments
BHVR: About to release the biggest change addressing the Meta, Grind, etc making the game better for years to come.
This guy: "Game feels abandoned, bHVR really need to improve the game"
Me:
Okay.. Maybe you should break up your issues with the game so they could be explained better and explored more.
WOW they are shifting the balance of the game WOW SO GOOD
everything is still behind a paywall, SoloQ is miserable, playing killer is taxing af, there is no gameplay history, the report button is a letter to santa, the performance on pc and console is next to unplayable sometimes
but no let's ignore ALL of those problems because they are shift the Meta and grind. clearly u aren't the only one not trying to break the TOS here
All fair points, but that most certainly does not mean the game is abandoned, considering the scope of what the devs are trying to do with this upcoming update.
Didn’t read all but… really.. do you understand how licensing works?
from the point of balance yes, its far from abandoned, but from every other aspect it sure as hell feels like it
what's that have to do with anything, are u talking about paying actual money to get license killers or the balance or like how hard is or something else ?
im a bit confused here
Solving specific issues does not mean bHVR is ignoring all the other problems. Like what is even going on.
Yeah the game has issues, but you can't have everything for free. Licensed killers cost money due to...being licensed. They arent that expensive anyways. Best perks in the game comes from the killers and survivors that are already in the game originally or can be bought with iri shards..which are from just playing the game.
Freddie doesnt have outfits because he's licensed. They cant just give him an outfit because i doubt he was wearing too many different outfits in his movie... i actually dont know this since i never saw the remake freddy movie.
Balancing is an issue right now and i do hope they would make reporting person easier so you dont have to jump through hoops to report someone.
Is it fun to make such threads nearly every day?
let's see here
hackers are still a thing, subtle cheaters are still a thing (and yes they did say they are working on it, but so far no results)
SWF are still a giant problem, facecamping is still a problem, license killers are still very weak, again performance hasn't been touched in a while, balance all around for maps still doesn't exist, the lag in the servers was never even mentioned before, but clearly space hillybilly was too broken to stay in the game
See whatb@Hannacia said.
its really easy to understand, so complaining about how Freddy doesn’t have Outfits and licensed characters not being free to obtain is really weird
true he doesn't have any other outfit in movies, but again piggy and ghosty have one outfit in movies too yet they have few skins, maybe its a problem with the license itself
and im not saying they should be free, im saying they should be obtainable after few months or years of release for Iridescent Shards
i did write that i never mention they should be "FREE" as an example let's say piggy has been out for few years it would fair to make her available for Iridescent Shards, but on the hand let's say sadako who has been out only for a month or 2 will be available only for Auric cells until i dunno like a year or 2 passes, you know when the "HYPE" goes down, not that it didn't die within the first week of her release.......
Well, talk to the license holders about this. That’s not on BHVR.
From which aspect? Costume-wise, they're adding a lot of new costumes, map-wise, they finally added a new map to the game after a long while, chapter-wise, they're doing ANOTHER crossover with one of the largest horror video game IPs out there.
i don't think the ingame pricing has to do anything with the license holders chief
they can renew or remove, so im not sure anymore
That’s what I meant, it seems like you have no idea how licensing works.
im talking for technical aspect, to make the game feel better, and most of the cosmetics are survivors, from the map we went ONE DAMN license without a map which was sadako, artist had her own map and for the crossover its mainly a renew of an old license so yes a bit exciting but nothing brain melting if anything i think another RE chapter might just break the game again and then maybe not
well if u have some info enlighten me, because every thread i read, was mainly the fact that the holders can renew or remove, nothing about controlling in game pricing
I mean, you can look at Bill and his tome cosmetic being tied to the free rift while Saws cosmetics were tied to the paid rift. It would be very naive to assume that this is only controlled by BHVR.
as far as we know, prices are obviously standardized but for any purchase, the license holder does get a percentage from the sell.
The report being a letter to Santa has me rolling it's a very true statement, they may take reports seriously but they make it difficult to do properly it should be easier than it is, a report should bookmark a match so they can rewatch it from all aspects and use the text in the report as a guide to what happened and where they should look without the need of providing a video
Outside of maybe technical, none of those things signal that the game feels abandoned.
Decisive Strike, Pain Resonance and BBQ. There are other DLC perks which can be got with shards.
To be fair thats the main part licenses is just a money grab I mean hell bhvr was dabbling in the biggest scam of all time nfts with pin head.
Money grabs are the opposite of abandonment, tbh.
Not really depends on how you look at it if you don't care what the state of the game is and just focus on licenses and outfits you are abandoning the main aspect of the game which is playing it now I know they did this "major" update where they "changed" the meta but they didn't at all feels kind of like they are trying to placebo you into thinking they are working hard on the game i know design and coding is alot of work but they are messing up at the core of it all brainstorming. Right now they are just putting the same meta on new perks in hopes that people think its different. Killers will still have gen regress and tunnel and camp and survivors will just annoy the killer and have endurance while they hold w.
Seriously asking, did anyone even bought those? Or did they dropped the NFT's completely? Sorry for going offtopic here...
Abandon means you're leaving it behind and not doing anything with it. If you are selling it out to every crossover known to man, you are absolutely not leaving it behind and not doing anything with it.
Making the game better? That's a hot take right there.
That wasn’t BHVR.
BHVR just allowed their models to be used for the NFTs without being directly involved.
The NFTs using BHVRs models never existed. The Tweets by BHVR were deleted and the company created/released Hellraiser NFTs using artwork from an independent artist.
this is just speculation but it really seems like BHVR backed out of it after community backlash.
Surprised nobody whipped out THAT chart. Yet.
I really hope so. Thanks for the info
But complaining about outfits while you complain about characters being behind a paywall. 5 dollards / euros whatever your currency is... DLCs from some websites you can get with 1-2 dollars /euros is too much? How can you buy outfits which are like 10? License means they are paying the license holders money to get these characters for us to enjoy. They cannot go free since no company will live with holy water.
To quote Mathieu: Take a break! Maybe you're tired. Play something else for a week then come back.
They have indeed abandoned the game, milking it while they can before it dies, and applying grease at the squeaky wheels (crying killer mains).
BHVR is not even trying to improve the game. They don't even address issues. It will spiral downwards into more catering to more baby killers and only SWF able to play the game because killers are so overpowered.
Balance is an afterthought. It is becoming lame for sure.
Sluzzy
They nerfed all the perks you've been complaining for years about
They nerfed Tinkerer
They nerfed Pain res, Pop, Ruin
Tinkerer still has two powerful abilities (two perks in one). Still notifies gen is almost done and hides terror radius. Spine Chill nerfed so not even spine chill can be used. A perk that is totally uncounterable.
Those nerfs are miniscule and hidden by massive killer buffs. All survivors got was a tiny 5 sec borrowed time. Now, killers can simply wait only 5 secs and tunnel.
Lord help regular public matches with 90 sec gens. They'll never be completed now.
Tinkerer being totally uncounterable? Have you tried getting a gen to 70% then walking away/using your eyes?
Against a high mobility killer they'll be back before you can even move.
Use your eyes and ears Sluzzy
All mobility killers make really loud sounds :]
that's why I said dabbling bhvr still allowed it so yea it was bhvrs fault.
no idea
Here lets put it in better words so it makes more sense they don't care about the gameplay of the game they neglect it very close to abandonment they just want money at this point.
Hi Sluzzy :)
Hi :)
Wdym?! We just had an event and before that new killers/other events. And soon a new chapter with a major overhaul.
This is just... enough internet for me today pfff.
you right , but they forgot addresing map tiles , hackers are still a thing , optimization is still a BIG issue , and the rubberbanding still hasnt been fixed yet.
also the meta changes are not gonna change almost nothing , killer are still gonna bring slowndown perks and survivors anti-tunnel perks , nothing got changed at all. (BT got buffed on the meta perk changes🤔 why? idk aparently the perk was weak , DH is still a press E to avoid going down , soo even if the perk is a bit more weaker on loops , we still have to baited out like currently).
overall same gameplay meta but different perks and Nurse got buffed indirectly with the reduction of the speed boost by getting hit and the nerf to DS , okay BHVR 😒
:D
Not after bHVR released their own numbers when we had anniversary.
I wouldn't exactly call the dlcs expensive if you wanna buy 500 cells for one killer it's like 6 dollars
