I know what I must do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it anymore.
It’s only about the chapter so chances are they wouldn’t answer it anyway 🤷♂️
I want to ask when they will stop make garbage chapters and make good chapters again but i doubt they will answer it
Well. Why would they answer such a destructive uncalled for question?
I mean....isn't this chapter an answer to that question? Most seem pleased with this chapter, although it could use some tweaks
I don't wanna answer anyway, i want to see this game gets better again. That's all i want. But i highly doubt this will happen anytime soon.
We will see this in live servers. PTB never tells anything.
And i already seeing a lot complains for survivor perks and killer.
We're also looking to answer as many questions as possible, so please have your questions ready to post on the 7th! 🤗
"How did you take Xbox one and PS4 into consideration when designing the chapter?"
Please don't forget Nintendo Switch! There are still dedicated Nintendo Switch DbD players!
I think it's pretty clear they don't take Switch bnto consideration, unfortunately.
I don't use reddit but I'd like to know how disconnect bots will affect emblems. I know killers get a bonus for a disconnect as if it's a sacrifice. Will they get double points for the disconnect and the sacrifice of the bots. It sucks when someone disconnects on hook and tanks my Altruism because it's as if I left them to die on hook.
That is fair... Although, I will say it seemed that regarding console platforms and cross-progression, Nintendo Switch was the closest we have gotten (at least based on direct communication). Bringing Switch Cross-progression to Steam would definitely help the lack of consideration the platform receives.
Question(s) regarding this chapter:
What inspired the devs to be so ambitious with the various elements in this chapter? How has community feedback (from however far back) influenced the development of this chapter?
Map: Everything about the new map is quite different! Alien vegetative jungle environment! Very colorful and saturated aesthetic!
Killer: First "robot" killer has so much organic material than expected! This caught me of guard, but I love that direction and feel it lends much more to DbD's horror.
Killer Power: Interacting with vertical walls/structures is VERY new for killer power and player gameplay. Additionally, the first surveillance killer with "cameras". We have been speculating camera-based killers forever, but this never would have been what most would expect from a "surveillance-based killer power".
The directions chosen for this chapter were risky, but worthwhile!
Depends who you are.... I actually found the opposite true. The news and hype for End Transmission really overshadowed any interest I had in TCM. I keep trying to engage with TCM open weekend and the content with it, however, it seems rather boring and uninteresting compared to End Transmission and Year 8 announcements.
TCM seems very one dimensional. Not interested.
I think these have been done on Reddit before, but I wasn’t around..
how is it working? There is a thread where people ask questions/upvoted asked questions and devs directly answer? So no stream/talking or anything?
Yasssssssss
Maybe tack on "Wouldn't testing, bug hunting, performance, balance, hiccups, etc. all be quickened & streamlined with as many platforms as possible participating in PTB's? Instead of, like, just one?
I'm still amazed people play DBD on Switch. I mean I sometimes have performance issues with the game on PC, so I can't even imagine how it must struggle on an underpowered console like the Switch. What's the FPS like? Maybe 20-30?
There will be a thread posted before the start time so questions can begin, and then the Devs will be answering as many as possible. No stream, just answers in the comment section. <3 We will have some very cool guests on hand!
Haha its pretty bad... Maybe pretty is under selling, its really bad. BUT! It is playable! It does get 20-30fps, but the problem is it lacks stability and consistency. My wife plays on Switch and started right after they added crossplay. Overtime it has gotten worse and worse. Especially with reworked maps. The swamp maps perform best presently as far as I have experienced. We are hoping cross-progression (Nintendo Switch <-> Steam) still comes sometime so switching to PC could be a viable option.

thats interesting though kinda expected as they are the only maps that didn’t get a graphical update (though that might change, according to the road map there will be some map graphical update in early 2024)
Don’t forget this is today!
(also I do not have a Reddit account and probably don’t have time anyways)
somebody ask them about following previously promised stuff: In-Game Graphic settings (eg Anti-aliasing, FPS), Twins rework, revisiting set cosmetics with possibility of 2-piece-sets, Nintendo cross progress update
also, but I think that will be asked anyway, FoV slider for killer!
ALSO, basic controller settings?!
I’ll for sure ask for the basic controller settings for you. Been waiting too long for those
Please do.
I'd get frames in the teens on Lery's and when several triggers would pop off on my Xbox1x. So I'd imagine 30 fps would be a very good day for our Switch cousins.
Nevermind, created an account and found the time to ask my questions after all 😊
How do we know which questions have been officially answered? I just see a bunch of questions on the Reddit thread, and 1 BHVR response if I scroll for pages and pages.
its stated in the post they only started answering at 1:30 pm EST (10 minutes ago) - I guess you have to go to the official DbD account and look at their comments?
Twins rework for early 2024
The Twins update is still happening and apparently more than just a few minor tweak
(Another was it takes around a year to make a chapter)
Cool
@supersonic853
thanks for sharing the official answers here!
also, my other questions didn’t get any traction/upvotes so RIP 🥲
Freddys On the radar
No worries lol
Freddy might get some love maybe eventually ✨
also, I really hope this format is staying and doesn’t get bashed to the ground by the toxic side of this community like the Q&A streams
New gamemodes temporarily possibly.
Offering pass
Will update the above since i forgot about the edit function lol.
Traction and upvotes might not matter. There are multiple questions regarding an FoV slider, and they’re all being ignored.
Ey otz got one on here
They are getting much faster at responding so i think ill drop the link for whoever wants to see their responces in a listing!
