I've definitely been playing less and less with this happening, I feel like aside from 1 Ada and 1 Felix I'm constantly paired with people that are either brand new or have no altruistic bones in their body. I know I'm not good in chase and lose a decent amount of games when crossplay is on but having almost 3k hours and being matched with this Meg that goes in and out of a locker 20 times in a row while the killer has Iron Maiden so they're just screaming over and over is insane.
Almost all my killer matches have been stomps, which isn't that fun. I swear I encountered a Claudette who did not know there was a run button.
Once again it feels like DbD is asking me to give up on it.

It's been about a week now. Still not fixed.

Because they have stated due to issues with Nintendo and how they push updates, they made a post about it, I know there was bugfix few days ago so may be delayed with getting switch back with everyone.
https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/en-us/articles/41351715602580-FAQ-for-Nintendo-Switch-Release-Time-ChangesWe got that update. We are on the same game version as the other platforms. We should be able to crossplay.

It might be because they only got the rights to Alan Wake 2, not 1 or American Nightmare. But I don't know if that's the case or not.
They do have Alan's outfits from AW1 and American Nightmare for purchase in the store.
Personally, I would have chosen Sheriff Breaker or Barry over Rose Marigold, but I'm biased since I've only played the first game.

So… that’s it? We’re just sweeping this rift under the rug and pretending it never existed? No explanation, no plans to improve it. Just a “see you on the next rift!” post like that somehow makes it okay.
BHVR is counting on you having forgotten all about this in 4 months.
-
Houndmaster has a glitch that reduces her to 50% speed and she can get stuck like that for most of the match.
I'm not sure BHVR remembers she exists.
-
I'm not making any progress on Twitch drops either.

Just learned they gave away Iri Shards on Tuesday as a log-in reward, but I didn't boot up DbD until Wednesday so I didn't get them. BHVR didn't even release a calendar to let us know ahead of time when to log in. Another blotch on the event for me.
-
I'd like to take it easy and engage with the event for fun, but the matches have been so rough that I feel like I have no time to do so, on both sides of the game. I only do what I have to for the quests.
-
I had hoped this was about Houndmaster's bug that made her 30% slower for no reason, but I guess we're just ignoring that.

This is art, this is expression
No, it's a computer eating other people's art and expression and then vomiting it out in a generic sludge that looks like crap and no one here wants to see.

I personally like the idea of him crawling around. I really hoped they would incorporate that aspect of him in game when he was first released.
The crawling is why I don't play Xenomorph, having my POV a mere two feet off the ground is miserable, especially on maps with tall grass like the Swamp.
-
I have not liked the past handful of Rifts. The cosmetics are too costume-like, I think they're too "high concept". This is the stuff I expect on European fashion shows, not people running away from serial killers. And not liking the cosmetics is a personal issue, but the horrific grind they've layered on top of everything makes it all a lot worse, and even if I liked the current Rift's outfits, they're low in number and padded with recolors and the Free Track is utter junk. I haven't even booted up DbD since the Rift came out, that's how little I care.

A lot of the us vs them toxicity would go away if people bothered to play both sides. It’s very easy to identify who exclusively plays one side or the other when you see that literally every single one of their posts is blaming “killer mains” or “survivors mains” for problems in the game.
It would also be great to see some updates to the forum rules to ban posts that are solely intended to bait people into “us vs them” arguments. Looking through the comments in any given thread it’s pretty easy to identify which ones fit that description.There are people on this forum whose entire post history is literally nothing but hundreds and hundreds of posts of "game sucks because [insert side here]" who do nothing but drag discussions down, but you'll never see anything done about them.

I wish I was the pro MLG gamer who could swing in, save everyone, and dance my way out the exit gate. But I'm not. I'm injured and at death hook. There's nothing I can do.

Honestly took the words out of my mouth. Me and my duo joke often that we spend more time dressing up our characters than actually playing 🤣
It's definitely getting harder to cook up good outfits though. There's not enough "neutrals". All of their original Survivors should have a store option for a plain shirt and pair of jeans in a couple of standard colours (like black or navy or something) IMO. They already have the meshes because the Twitch/Iron Maiden shirts exist. They'd just need to recolour them.
When I saw the Axekick shirts that came with the latest Chapter I was so excited thinking I could have a plain(ish) black t-shirt to mix and match with on all the Survivors but it turns out they only added it for like four Survivors 😭
A great example of that is that citrus shirt for Dwight years ago. It's loud, but that's fine because it's still practical and can mesh with lots of things
True. A lot of the older cosmetics in this game are great for combo-ing. I wish we'd see more in that style: fun but relatively simple.
I even miss old cosmetic flavor text. They had more personality to them. Now every cosmetic goes for a serious and grim mini "story" but it rarely lands and just feels bland to read. And then there was the time where every cosmetic only had a single short sentence without any detail or color.

I've said this a lot, but I'm going to go gloves off this time. Again, all of this is my opinion.
Cosmetics are getting uglier in general, and the Rift is the epicenter of a lot of that. Just talking heads alone, the styles are so cosplay-wig adjacent with that Playdough-y Fortnite look to it. We're getting ugly glasses and ugly piercings on top of that too. Then when it comes to the outfits, they're real hit or miss. That top for Jake with the denim jacket was cute, but the sports bra was absolutely not. If we wanted to go Sleepaway Camp, there was a much better way of doing so. And David's outfit from the metal Rift was borderline offensive, how HIDEOUS it was. I use the top sometimes, but even that is hard to match with his existing cosmetics. The game has always had issues with encouraging play with the cosmetics, but it's getting worse as time goes on. Sets that don't match anything but themselves. Vittorio is a fantastic example of that with his tattoos. Why would you make a set that changes them red when most of them are blue?
I could rant for days about it. But if they want us to play dress up, give us SOMETHING. Ugly stuff that doesn't match anything is encouraging me not to spend money.
I really don't enjoy how the last few Rifts have been so heavily themed. I want clothing, not cosplays or high fashion. You used to get a variety of outfits with maybe a broad idea uniting them that still allowed for variety. Now everything is a single specific idea that everything adheres to and I don't think any of them look good outside of one or two exceptions. I don't want to wear this junk on my characters.

Those guys also get the DLC for free, so it's no skin off THEIR backs if (for example) a new perk comes out and becomes meta so you can't win without it. They are immune to the "pay to win" aspects.
I already have $10 on my account, so I don't know if skipping this Rift Pass will send as strong a message as I would like, but… I'm not buying this Rift Pass.
I didn't buy the last Rift until I already reached the end to refund all my Auric Cells.
I don't even want to boot the game up to play this Rift.

Not a single minute of playtesting.

Tunneling killers aren't so dumb that they can't remember who they're tunneling without a HUD to tell them.

Fair, not trying to point a finger at Otz specifically but he is at the least taking advantage of the problem and cried on camera every chance he got to get QoL removed.
Can't argue with that. I refuse to buy Krasue because she's so obviously badly designed. I'm not interested in exploiting that for easy wins to boost my ego. It's a terrible killer that shouldn't have been made this way.
-
People didn't like how BHVR inflated the milestones' numbers. Instead of lowering the numbers to more reasonable goals, BHVR lowered the numbers all the way to 0 and removed the entire system.
EDIT: Milestones have been restored! But they're exactly as grindy as they were last time. Nothing has improved.
-
I agree with the sentiment but blaming Otz for Krasue is a strange take.

@Throne said:
Was the Free Tier always so empty? Its 90% blood points.
No, free tracks used to have a decent handful of cosmetics even if they were usually recolors. This is outright barren.
-
More grind for worse rewards. Uninstalling looks like a better idea every update. Bad glitches and poor balance could be worth putting up with if it meant earning rewards that were satisfying, but the past several Rifts have been mediocre and disappointing, and they've made it harder to earn them on top of it.
-
Is anything playtested?
-
All my milestones are at about step 6 or 7, maybe one or two are still at 5. The Rift design this time was straight-up exploitative. If they don't reduce numbers for the next one, I will be appalled.
-
The fact they drop this on the last week of the Rift is extra frustrating. I was able to claw my way through a few matches to finish the final challenges but I chalk that up to luck. Others will not be so lucky.

Ghostface is bestface.
Certainly a better Myers than Myers is now.

I'd like to play Trapper more but that rarely goes well. I used to like Clown and Myers until they implemented their weird changes that made them feel worse than before. Doctor was fun but only when I was in newbie MMR. I guess I could go play Pig and Ghostface? Pig's been buffed and Ghostface… exists.

Someone with common sense on forums, a rare sight to behold lol.
By the way, before downvotes I don't think people even realized how many survivors are disatisfied with dbd. They were scared to speak out and now some killers are afraid of losing their echo chamber. I'm glad to see at least some things are changing.

Never in my years of playing this game and browsing this forum has this place ever been a killer echo chamber, nor have survivor players been afraid to complain extremely loudly and constantly.

From what I've seen, he doesn't look good. I don't even want to play him anymore, and I used to enjoy him a lot in spite of him being one of the weaker killers.
Yesterday a Myers kept trying to land his dash attack on me. He missed four times in a row on a mediocre looper like myself just running around basic rocks with no pallets. I then ran out of the exit gates. It feels depressing in hindsight.

I can't believe Gabe is already over two years old already.
I've always seen Gabriel as some kind of Hispanic or Mediterranean, though I think he is intended to be somewhat ambiguous due to his far-future origin.
-
4% hindered after a minute and one-shot vulnerability to Wesker's dash attack (but only if he hits a wall)? No, that's way too OP, infection has to reset on hook. Also the infection has to be cured instantly when using one of the 10 First Aid Sprays spread evenly across the map.
An infection that causes Broken and lets you get downed by Tier 3 Myers lunge on Red Bull? Nah that's fine you can walk that off from the hook. Also the mushrooms don't need to cleanse it instantly, and we can just spawn them all on one side of the map where the killer always happens to be chasing so you can't safely grab any. It'll be fine. No big deal.

After being thrown into it multiple times today I realized I forgot to add Nostromo to my list.

We should, but it won't happen. People are too angry and self-righteous to think about what they say to each other. People only come here because they're upset about something, not because they want discussion.

I've lurked for years and it seems a little better than it used to be. Though I'm not a fan of how things operate at times.
I'm not trying to start anything by saying this, but I did notice a thread disappear very quickly recently asking for BHVR to consider making a new original Survivor that's male since we haven't had one for a while meanwhile there's a thread with a headless man that's still on the front page.
I'm just saying, priorities still seem all over the place and that tends to make people walk on eggshells.
I'm still waiting on another black male survivor. Though I'm not sure there will be much left of this game by the time that happens.

"She's only slightly less overpowered than the most overpowered killer in the game" is not much of a statement.

There's no discussions on these forums anymore, it's all just people blinded by biases screaming at each other. No one has anything to talk about, they just want to yell at walls, repeating the same thing they've been shouting for the past 5 years. And the moderators do nothing about it.
There's no reason to stay here anymore except to gawk at how horrible this place is.

@LinkToReality said:
The big question is that if they made it permanent but took away the BP rewards, making it truly casual (since you don't need perks or items to play it so BP isn't needed for it) how many would still play?
Players are always drawn to the big BP incentives so of course 2v8 has a lot of players.
People are also drawn to it because it wrecks the normal 1v4 queue. You wanna sit and wait for a regular match for minutes or play a 2v8 match right now?

The Swamp maps. And Hawkins.

Guess who just met a Krasue running this combo.
Guess who had a terrible match that was completely unengaging to play.

As you said in your post, Krasue cant catch up on certain loops if she vaults. Your advice was to vault and to keep at it. This functionally means she has zero counter. She gets a hit, first hits are easy, the Survivor predrops which is the correct play, Krasue vaults the pallet, the Survivor can now vault the pallet and die or leave the loop and die.
Not really seeing the counterplay.
Ghoul all over again. The only loop left in this game is the loop of these killers.

"small quality of life change" is a funny way of saying "huge unbalancing buff".

I took a break from DbD for a couple of weeks, then hopped back on. First match, survivor, we do a good job against a Clown and I escape first out the gates because he caught me opening them at the last second.
I decide to spectate and I notice that a Feng Min is healing herself but her skill checks are an entire "great" zone and she has the medkit add-ons that boost your healing on greats. Another teammate, an Orela, is instantaneously teleporting items into her hand without Dramaturgy. Both were teabagging and clicking at the exit gates.
First game back and I'm reminded why I should leave again.

No.

It was fun for the first week, then a miserable slog every day after.
I think I'm done with 2v8 for a long time.
