I think we need to give devs credit where credit is due.
It took two years for a rework that was scrapped and ended in exclusively QOL buffs for the character. Two. Years.
It did not need to take two years.

Last time they made this drastic of an engine change was Darkness Among Us patch, which was notorious for breaking the game in basically every way, and 4.5.0 just after the release of Twins, which was notorious for breaking the game in basically every way. I wouldn't be shocked if it's literally because of the update to UE5 that something has happened and the game has broken in basically every way.

We don't actually know, for the second one. Sometimes they are - the SAW outfits have gone on sale before to celebrate Spiral + Jigsaw releasing - but usually when the main sales (Anni, Black Friday, etc) go on they aren't.

I just recently made one on the suggestions that you should be able to earn your dead Hard in more ways than just getting unhooked like safe unhooks etc maybe even protection hits I just feel like a perk that you only get twice per game doesn’t even need an exhaustion effect at that rate
I feel like the exhaustion is still sort of required just to stop stacking DH into another exhaustion perk, like you take a hit with DH and then get to lithe or balanced across the map I just don't think that'd be all too funky.

I know this will sound incensitive af but what % of the whole population that plays dbd has hearing issues? Also out of those how common is it to face spirit (at least for me I havent seeen one in months).
However I must say its not only spirit that gives counterplay via audio cues so the frequency argument has a lot of merit to it.
But we have to take into account that bhvr for all it is, its a company at first and a company cannot waste resources in something that frankly will yield no difference in profits or will be so miniscule it is just a waste of labor. Hence why probably accesibility changes go so slow.
This is NOT exclusive to videogames too. For example in my field, do you know how many scientific articles/ published books have no copies in braille, or have colorblind friendly graphs? Like I think in all my life I have seen one that had one of those. Because the effort it takes for those magazines or the authors to do that absolutelly outweights the results as the people who will be benefited from said efforts are such a low %.
This is not saying its ok, it must be annoying af that due to that you have no access to whatever it is you want to partake in, and if posible we can try to mitigate it. However in the world we live in budget and costs are the rule, so doing those things is not cost efficient or simply not priority hence why it is either not done or it takes a long while.
The entire point behind accessibility features is that we should advocate for changes to help parts of the playerbase who may not be the majority. The majority of players aren't colourblind, yet we got colourblind filters after years of asking because it's just good practice. The majority of players don't get motion sick from the 87 degree FOV, but we've finally gotten a first person FOV slider for those who do.
BHVR is a company
BHVR is a privately owned company, meaning there aren't shareholders to please. If they so desired, they could absolute dedicate more resources to accessibility features and QOL improvements instead of churning out new chapters every 3 months (at a minimum, this year was awful for aggressive monetisation). But instead they've decided to monetise monetise monetise, capitalising on FOMO and releasing as many chapters as seems physically possible while continuing to keep the game functional.
BHVR absolutely could take a break from the content release cycle and focus on accessibility and QOL. Hell, the previous lead-UX designer for DBD apparently fought tooth and nail for as much accessibility as she could, and responded to the release of the FOV slider after she left with something along the lines of "Do you guys ever see a system you made 3 years ago go live only after you leave?" This is definitive, in my mind, that BHVR absolutely could and are actively choosing not to.
And if money really was such a massive problem, maybe they shouldn't have purchased several smaller game studios and opened a new office in Canada last year. But they did, and so clearly they can't be so strapped for cash that they stop catering to the majority of the playerbase.
We really should get to a point where accessibility features are a standard, not something we have to spend years begging for (like the FOV slider + colourblind mode). Struggle changes were nice, wiggle changes were nice, colourblind mode was nice (but NVIDIA's filters are more effective for me, so I still use those), and the current FOV slider is nice. But there's so much more they could be doing and, at this point, have to be actively deciding not to.
And it just sucks.
As for your comparison between scientific papers + BHVR, I don't feel the two are particularly equivalent, but I can see where you're coming from. It's a lot harder to translate scientific papers into braille, different languages, and make colourblind variants of them than it is to do so in a video game, and while I would love for both (trust me, if there was an ADHD version of the papers on Germanic constitutional law I've studdied recently I would be jumping for joy) I feel like the argument is less effective than ideal when it's so much easier to do so in a video game.
How would we do it for Spirit, for example? Easy. Remove the reliance on audio entirely, phasing sound goes back to being non-directional and doesn't change at all regardless of how close she is. Instead, we revisit the idea they had during the first PTB when she dropped, the little dust clouds that appear on the floor when she phases. They should be subtle and periodic, but frequent enough to be of use. When phasing, Spirit can no longer hear grunts of pain (she still hears regular breathing), but to compensate Survivors who run also leave a dust trail that Spirit can see. This effectively substitues all of her audio ques for visual ques, which would help transform her from such a hard of hearing nightmare, and also be accessible to those who play on less than sub-optimal headsets and equipment. The £4k headset is no longer as much of an advantage as it once was, and people playing through their TV speakers now stand more of a chance alongside those who are physically impaired.
I don't get how things always move so slowly with this game. Genuinely, it absolutely baffles me.
-
That's the neat part, you don't!
Spirit is just an accessibility nightmare when playing as and against, but unfortunately accessibility needs feel like they're seen as quality of life suggestions and so everything moves at a glacial pace.

They decided to remove the skill expression from his kit while keeping in brainless scamper, so really his skill ceiling is a lot lower than it should be and he just feels like an easier (and weaker) version of Nurse/Blight, and really the whole point of playing them is for their strength not because of their interactive and engaging kits.

All Things Wicked was the best chapter that came out of this year and it's not even a challenge, the only one that holds a candle is End Transmission. How are you gonna get Chucky and Alien both and neither of them make any impact on the dbd landscape because their powers are just rehashed unoriginal versions of things we've seen before?
No, I hope it's original, because I'm so fatigued with licences and I don't trust them to be done justice gameplay wise. At least I still trust for originals

Oh wow, see I never knew that. So A Nurse's Calling does NOT detect a Plot Twist use? Interesting.
A Nurse's Calling affects the healing action and healing action alone (it used to also affect Doctor's Snap Out of It + Freddy's cooperative Wake Up actions, but they were also affected by things like Botany Knowledge and We'll Make It so they removed their classification as a healing action). Recovering is technically different to healing, so isn't affected by Nurse's

Congratulations! You have discovered the circular argument. I'm very proud of you.
Also your last paragraph was the whole point of my original post regarding time wasting b.s in game, though I wouldn't call my example a false equivalence so much as an actual equivalence and you failed to actually address what I said beyond the ever tiresome "both sides".
There was no "us vs them" in my original post either, but here's some.
IS IT MORE COMMON FOR SURVIVORS TO GET BLED OUT OR MAKE THE KILLER WAIT OUT THE ENTIRE EGC TIMER?
It's a simple question, which is more common in-game?
Do you not think that the fact an argument can be so easily reversed, and that it's therefore fairly tautological, is a weakness in the argument?
Also, as for which is more common, I raise 2 points. Firstly, that it depends on which side you play more, and secondly that for every killer there are 4 survivors, so four times the chance of encountering the behaviour even if there are equal amounts.
Finally, I'd like to point out that it's entirely possible to chase a survivor out of the exit gate. There's no option for survivors to speed up their 4 minute bleedout timer.
I agree with the general principle here, both are frustrating forms of BM that ideally wouldn't occur. But I don't think this post particularly has the capacity to spark insightful discussion on the manner when it's both as tautological and adversarial in framing as it is.
-
To killers that hate exit gate spamming.
Isn't it annoying when the survivor does that? It's toxic and you feel like your time is just being wasted. Rest assured, I agree, it's really lousy behavior.
Agreed? Good?
Now that that is settled maybe consider not slugging to bleedout once in a while. Making me wait out the entire bleedout timer while you hump me on the ground is literally the same thing.
Something to consider.
Alternatively, you can consider that both sides have problems to deal with, and making false equivalences and sparking more us vs them debate rather than appreciating that time wasting without easy exit is frustrating regardless of what mode you queued up for.
Think about it idk.

While this is a good intention, in reality it does not work like that. At least anymore.
I often dont use Shack Pallet, especially when I was not hooked before. Only to see some default Meg to use it instantly after getting hit or camping it.
It physically hurts every time I see it happen but yk what I'm not gonna be the problem. Shack pallet will live for as long as I remain standing

The entire reason why we say to not waste shack pallet is so that when people need it to stop them being tunneled they've got a guaranteed strong tile into a god pallet...

I'm sorry but if there's a survivor out there who'd lobby dodge at a perk build I'm not sure I'd want to be matched up with them in the first place.
Unless the perks in question are Weaving Spiders/No Mither, those two can rot.
Tbf if I see someone running Distortion + Self-care with no other ways to increase healing speed I'm not sure I'd want to play either

So long as we get a different icon for when a survivor is in a locker with Head On equipped and charged so I stop getting sandbagged for trying to save their asses during a chase I'm all for it (and Inner Strength too ig)

LNY gave us Howling Grounds, Moonrise, and then the 2021 LNY event with the behind cracked envelopes that gave like 30k+ BP for breathing near them. LNY has given us three of the objectively best events DBD has ever had, including the objectively best event Moonrise.
And it's been permanently scrapped for this, which had the potential to be amazing, and then wasn't. How are you gonna scrap the event that was notorious for BP gains (even during Howling Grounds it was 2nd best next to anni, and then 2021 LNY was arguably better than anni) and replace it with an event that's objectively worse than a Bloodfeast event, something done already in 2016/2017 (idk it was before my time)
-
literally just add a 0 on the end of every single score event. it's an event for farming bp so go absolutely wild with farming the bp
it's sad when the old bloodfeast event was better for farming points than the "best time of the year" for farming

@JPLongstreet said:
Educate me please. As a lowly consoler I'm unfamiliar with terms like RCE and EAC and the like. What's going on? What do I need to do or look for?
so Easy Anti-Cheat is used in a lot of games, created and developed by Epic Games, same people behind Fortnight and Unreal Engine (which DBD also uses). It basically runs by validating files when the game is booted at a kernal-level (which is one-step beyond what a System-Administrator is able to do), similar to a lot of other anti-cheats.
RCE stands for Remote Code Execution, and is a type of malicious attack when a third party is able to gain access to your computer, and then run code on it at whatever level they have access to, essentially hijacking it. It can be anything from moving a mouse to collecting all personal information stored on (and anything inputted essentially ever in the future lol) to locking down your entire computer and confiscating the files in what's known as a ransomware attack (and they make you pay them to unlock your files and leave you be, until they get bored at which point they can re-lock your files if you don't do a thorough wipe to get rid of said malicious code).
So, in this scenario as the fault is with EAC, which runs at a kernal-level, anyone exploiting the fault with EAC is able to enter your system at a level higher than ordinary users can actually see, and run code that you would be wholly unaware of because you cannot access that level yourself, to steal information and hijack your system for whatever purposes they want. That's my understanding of it, anyway.
I'm sure it could affect consoles, but I'm not sure why you would. They're often locked down pretty tight at all levels, and anything that can be done on a console could be done on a PC with substantially less effort. You're more likely to get your account and console banned for tampering than you would be to have your personal information relinquished from them, so while I wouldn't advise it you're probably safer there than you are on PC.
Again, this is all from my own understanding, and if I've gotten something wrong please do let me know.

Wait I’m confused. First she said she was potentially gonna pursue legal action and she felt ’tricked’ by BHVR and stuff but now she’s… saying we should back off because BHVR isn’t responsible for people using the character to harass transwomen?? I’m totally confused now. What exactly is she wanting people to do here? I know she’s saying ‘leave it alone’ but what does that even mean now?
This is all speculation, however I'd argue that she was probably feeling very annoyed and very attacked last night following the amount of vile attacks she and others were receiving. It's likely that she was emotional and hurt. Bhvr probably reached out, offered apologies etc, and as of this tweet they've been on good terms. She deleted quite a few tweets and that community post last night, and then probably some more this morning.
What it looks like now is that she and BHVR are on good terms again, and while the lack of communication is upsetting she realised she was directing a lot of anger at BHVR that should've been directed at the community.
Again, I am not Zoey Alexander (I wish I was her singing voice is killer) and cannot pretend to know her personally, so this is all entirely speculative based on her most recent tweets.

"in cod lobbies" the second you bring up this argument you lose.
