Dear Fellow Console Users
Some of us feel betrayed or unloved by BHVR. The new chapter was revealed to pc on May 29th it is now June 25th. We have all heard it was a large patch that includes financial transactions which made it a long certification process. Ok i completely understand that. The problem is they "could have" released the chapter and removed the shard cap for all users across all three platforms at the same time and the PTB could've instead been used to test the store with pc still getting it first and console waiting on the store patch. I think that would have made better sense and the community wouldn't have felt as upset. The "curtain call chapter" wouldn't feel "old" already. It was poorly planned and executed. What can we do about it? We can complain all we want they won't listen this hasn't been the first time and most likely won't be the last as history usually repeats itself. Here is what you can do: DON'T BUY AURIC CELLS!!!!! If you want to buy the chapter go ahead or grind it . Use self-control and DO NOT BUY AURIC CELLS. You may say "hey i want shirtless David" who doesn't (actually i don't). The idea is the pc people bought their Auric cells so they have probably figured out an estimate of what to expect when console gets the store. LET'S MAKE OUR VOICE HEARD, Do NOT BUY THEM!!! I'm not saying forever just for a time a week, a month, 2 months, However long you can hold out to prove to them this treating CONSOLE like Second Class Citizens NEEDS TO STOP!!!
I personally will grind the chapter. I don't care about a white shirt for Kate.
I also won't buy the Auric Cells at this point i don't see anything special that i "need".
YOU CAN MAKE AS MANY POSTS AND COMMENTS ABOUT BHVR ALL YOU WANT BUT THEY WILL NEVER LISTEN.
MONEY TALKS!

Wasn't planning on buying auric cells anyway since I plan on switching to PC sometime lol.
Well the thing with console is that we have to pay a premium just to be able to play the game like Xbox Live which is 10$ a month. Its also a reason I have not bought any killers or survivors. This company has to be careful the game doesnt become stale on the console side or they will end up losing money from people ditching so called community they are trying to push.
I'm not gonna say you should or should not buy Auric Cells, but it would give me some fiendish glee if BHVR had to lose money over this. They might have to take it seriously if that happened.
They stated that due to ptb(on PC only...sadly.) that they would do it first....and then "simultaneous release" of updates for systems after. (At least what I can recall...may be wrong.)
They were obviously not "prepared" and could still do way better at "open communication". (This is me being nice. Which may not last if public relation nightmares keep happening like this. I know the company is small, but a lot of trouble could of been avoided. Live and learn I guess.)
I only hope that they finally do learn and try to gain understanding, and truly start being way more transparent. I'm tempted to ask if they are looking to hire a PR manager, or a diplomat.
Apparently you can't read the chapter first came out on the ptb on the 29th. I was stating they should have instead released the chapter on ALL platforms at the same time(smaller patch) everyone happy. The ptb could have still been used to test the new chapter and store with console getting a later release and access to the store as that patch would've have taken longer.
That would be very nice if properly planned.
Also they should have not waited until they released the update for PC that it was going to be delayed for everyone else. They should of stated that fact well before that so the rest of us could at least know where we stood in the timeline. Which is obviously different now than their Roadmap. There is obviously a Roadmap for PC and a separate Roadmap for everyone else. Im starting to think this company has set the bar too high for themselves that they cant reach.
Exactly!!!!! Console doesn't wait and neither does pc and we could have had the anniversary event on the freaking anniversary! PC isn't mad they have to wait for console, The shrine could have still been open for all because the shard cap was removed for all platforms and the only thing console has to wait for is the store. This would have given people incentive to grind to get things the day it opened. Sure some people may have been disgruntled waiting that is human nature. You can't please everyone, but if everyone had the shard cap and the new chapter released at the same time along with the anniversary event. The complaints wouldn't be as loud or pissed off as many.
Looks like we have one thing in common. We're both literate.
Getting all worked up when the update isn't actually late is a ridiculously immature and entitled thing to do. Trying to get other players to boycott is even worse.
Never trust anyone that says they have a solid understanding on how these businesses work. LMAO
Even Elon Musk knows that by now. And not_queen herself in the most recent post said that they are using the PTB to publish new updates, so how the heck do you think that makes them very different things? lol
You can probably read but you sound like you have a big ego and it's causing something to get stuck up your butt. If the Devs themselves are apologizing because the update is LATE then it is actually LATE. If this is the kind of business your running you should get fired because you are unqualified. Expressing frustration and anger in this instance from players is totally acceptable and qualified.
The only thing here more ridiculous other than your two-bit opinion, is that they are shooting themselves in the foot considering they are boycotting themselves by not having released the update in a timely manner which would of been making them money. So on the console side they technically have been losing money since it did not launch on June 12.
Seriously whatever business your involved with you should get fired.
It runs fine on my Xbox One X, if all you do is pay attention to the pixels and framerate than thats probably why your sucking. It's not the hardware or software, it's the user.
Again it is not about being late. The patch will get done when the patch gets done. I'm not arguing about that. It is about the execution of the plan. Smaller release and holding off the store would have saved a lot of anger. Console constantly gets short changed. My post was about making our voice heard via our wallets.
It should have been a smaller patch chapter release and cap removed say end of may for june release. PTB a little bit later with the store for pc to test and also test and fix bugs in the chapter. I agree by the way the frames are garbage at times against certain killers and maps. We also need a real reporting system.
Isn't the Clown in jail at the moment? When do you get out?
I'd rather know that we're getting a proper update on console, because of the PTB, than to get a bug-ridden update that went through zero rebalancing.
If we don't have it by the end of next week, then make a fuss. But, as it stands, it's only been ten business days (QA, testers, and auditors don't usually work on weekends).
I don't care if you believe me or not, because reality proves you wrong on every conceivable level in this instance.
It will more than likely show up for consoles this week. Tomorrow night on PS4 would be my guess. I'm pretty sure that BHVR saw that coming as well, seeing as they have the shrine closed until the 29th due to the updates.
We are not getting a proper update. PC is reporting all kinds of issues.
Amanda can not be bought with shards lol.
You have to pay actual money for licensed killers
Keep in mind that the console release was not originally planned, and only happened because of people asking about it week in and week out. It's a pretty shoddy port, to be honest, and if they did rush things out to it, it would be in a really broken state.
All I'm saying us that a little more patience is worth it. I'm really willing to put money down that it is going to drop very soon.
Just a reminder to everyone...
NOT every KILLER and SURVIVOR can be bought with the shards..
Freddy, Michael, Pig, Bubba (Idk if im forgetting any more licensed killers) but you have to buy them with actual money. So don't get your hopes up on getting them with the shards.
You know they released and sold it on the base models too, right? Not just the Pro and X variants. It should be optimized correctly like other PC ports.. Warframe for example.
If all you do is pay attention to yourself, you will eventually try to have sex with yourself...that's probably why you're sucking. It's not the hardware or software, it's the user.
You should be fired because your trying to sound smart by vomiting out unqualified facts that have no re-valence or truth to the post or situation, and ridiculing other players for stating their opinions at the same time.
First of all no one cares about how other games are developed, how common their practices are, and how other communities act. To that point when a community actually cares about the game they do make a fuss such as EA, and Destiny for example.
Second of all, production comes before testing and auditing, which to any simple minded monkey with a wrench can figure out, by the time they said it just needs to be approved by XBOX/ps4, they are already done with those modules. You haven't said anything that even comes close to you understanding how this business works. There is no way with a million hours of testing and auditing that your going to get a proper update UNTIL it is publicly released!
Lastly, what the heck do the QA, testers, and auditors have to do with anything when the game is already done and released on PC! YOU do not know how these business work at all Mr. Get that stick out your butt and get off your high chair. The excrement that is coming out your brain is irrelevant.
I'm sure we are getting it this week too maybe tomorrow who knows. They had 5 months between chapter releases. Come on at some point stop making excuses for BHVR. When has any patch release not broke something else. We could have handled it we always do. Do you remember the hook lag bug? The game was almost unplayable if you got caught by the killer. I'm on PS4 and not Xbox but i have heard some complain certain maps are unplayable. This has nothing to do with not having patience it is about making sure BHVR knows we are not pleased and will make it known through them not making the money they expect. We are 2/3 of the community. PC came first and may have helped fund the game to move to console. Console has had a lot to do with the game growing and more chapters added and even this new store. Money is Money no matter where it comes from if they want CONSOLE MONEY THEY NEED TO TREAT CONSOLE EQUALLY.
this "controversial" post is flagged. this has gotten ridiculous and i hope they see right through this crap.
It turned into something that is for sure.
Well thats your problem then isnt it??? Like I said its not the hardware or software, ITS THE USER!
Let me dumb it down for you, if all you can afford is a Volkswagen, dont expect it to run like a Lamborghini!
No, what now?
LOL as a PS4 owner it wouldn't surprise me but all of the rumor about certification being done not done is exhausting. I really wish they had thought this through and done it as i laid out.
Meanwhile they guy telling me that i should lose my job because I'm good at it has zero flags. GG

not gonna lie. a lot of very nice spazzing in here. a proper sequel to the other assorted bedlam. truly a gift.
i swear i just heard a sizzling sound like frying bacon.
epic.
i can't wait to see the other thread now.
My uncle works for nintendo and he said it will be “real soon”. He is a trustworthy fellow.
