Personally that is what I dislike about battlepasses is that they are timed, which means they cater only to people who can play everyday. It's not a surprise the battlepass model became so popular with Fortnite, a game played mostly by kids.
Imo the content should be available in the store or in some other way for people who can't afford the time investment a battlepass requires. They did it with the halloween skins, so there's hope they'll do it again.
That is the least bad solution. Hopefully that is how they are implemented. Another sensible alternative is a system that is similar to the reward tracks in Guild Wars 2 PvP modes: Once unlocked you can activate whichever one you want and fill it up to unlock the rewards (though all of the reward tracks are unlocked immediately or by completing certain ingame objectives). I would be fine with a system where you buy the different battlepass tracks either as DLC directly or with Auric Cells and get to keep them forever. Then you activate whichever one you want and progress is tracked only for that particular one, but you can switch at any time you want.
That still has the downside that the developers can upsell crappy cosmetics that no one wants by bundling them into a battlepass track that has cosmetics that a particular player wants but whose value is less than the total cost of the battlepass track. That however seems to be an inherent problem with battlepass systems, I don't think there is a way around that.
To make that more clear, an example:
- the battlepass costs 1500 Auric Cells (this is just an example, no pricing structure has been confirmed to my knowledge, as of the time I am writing this)
- the battlepass has a complete outfit, those sell for a bit over 1000 Auric Cells (I don't know the exact price off the top of my head)
- the battlepass also has a bunch of recolored outfits worth a total of 800 Auric Cells
In this example you get stuff worth 1800 Auric Cells for the cost of 1500 Auric Cells. You save 300 Auric Cells! However the only thing you really want is the outfit which would normally be sold for 1000 Auric Cells in the store. Unfortunately it is exclusive to the battlepass track and so the only way to get what you want is to pay 800 Auric Cells extra for stuff you don't care about.
If you are one of the people who want everything in the battlepass then it is a positive for you, but for the majority of players this can be expected to not be the case. Most likely the battlepass will contain old cosmetics and some new ones (as of the time of writing this is not confirmed and just speculation) - if you care about the old cosmetics then you could have bought them at any time beforehand. Therefore old cosmetics in the battlepass will, for pretty much any player, be cosmetics they would not pay the store price for. This lowers the overall value they get out of of the battlepass and will, in most situations, mean players have to pay extra to get the things they want.
In the end battlepass systems are exclusively anti-consumer: For the vast majority consumers there is no advantage that battlepass systems have that can't be achieved with other systems.

Does not specify what to submit, other than "clip" but that is never defined. Is a gif a clip? Are multiple screenshots combined into a gif a clip? What if they are combined into a video?
You submit here, obviously and as I mentioned in the thread, it has to be a clip of a wholesome moment. The other questions are yes, if it shows the wholesome moment.
The forum is not set up for contests. Reddit would be a MUCH better platform due to the possibility of creating threads in contest mode (this is most likely only possible for subreddit moderators and not for regular users). Someone who posts early has a much higher chance of being seen and thus winning the community vote
I don't have a reddit account, and that's not exactly true because I seen many late posts get a lot of upvotes than early posts. Furthermore, the tutorial submission is going great, so I don't see why this wouldn't.
Voting for anything lessens your chance of winning and is thus bad.
Yes and no, if you try to not vote at all, everyone will have a 0 upvotes and thus, the moderators will have the decision.
The devs are in Canada where for contests (to my knowledge, I am not a lawyer nor familiar with Canadian law) there must be some sort of skill-testing. While this is not an official contest (as far as I can tell) it is posted on the official forums and forum moderators who are connected to the forums are involved so this may fall under the Canadian gambling laws
Then why would Luzi get the idea of a contest if it's obviously a bad idea?
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/926/15JZ2387X52I.jpg
I'm pretty sure you're making things seem more complicated than it seems, I don't think this contest would cause any problems. :)
Hopefully, this clears everything up for you and many others! :)
You submit here, obviously and as I mentioned in the thread, it has to be a clip of a wholesome moment. The other questions are yes, if it shows the wholesome moment.
Still haven't explained what counts as a clip. I listed specific examples of things where it is definitely not clear if they count or not.
I don't have a reddit account, and that's not exactly true because I seen many late posts get a lot of upvotes than early posts. Furthermore, the tutorial submission is going great, so I don't see why this wouldn't.
Making a Reddit account takes like 10 seconds. It is also just an example of a superior platform for this kind of thing, the forums are not designed to be used for contests. You also pretty much ignored the issue of having higher visibility the earlier you post and just claim that it will somehow work out. I never said it won't work, but you can't deny that you have higher visibility if you are on page 1 than on page 3 for example. Not everyone who casually reads the forums and votes is going to check every page. Some people might even just look at the first few posts and then leave the thread because it doesn't interest them.
Again, this wouldn't even be an issue with a superior choice of platform.
Yes and no, if you try to not vote at all, everyone will have a 0 upvotes and thus, the moderators will have the decision.
Not everyone who votes participates.

To improve:
- clearly state how to enter the contest, what to submit, where to submit
- do it on Reddit, either on the Dbd subreddit or create a new one specifically for the contest and make a thread in contest mode after collecting submissions or use Surveymonkey or another tool to display all submissions equally
- anonymize the submissions to avoid playing favourites, collect them in some way but hide the identity of the submitter for the voting process

Those sound like really good survivors if they manage to completely prevent you from using shred. If we're just talking about the portals, them closing the portals gives you tracking and takes them off of generators. Even in the absolute worst case scenario, you're still getting something out of it.
Everyone note how he completely ignores the Plague and Ghost Face in his post

Although those are potential scenarios/problems, I’ve personally never had trouble finding an unopened chest when running Pharmacy, and maybe encountered Franklins twice in matches I’ve run Pharmacy (and I like to use Pharmacy A LOT)
This
Pharmacy is fine
Franklin's Demise is utter trash and not worth considering ever when deciding on a survivor perk loadout
-
No
This enables a survivor to work with the killer
It would also require the option to report in the lobby, which is a new feature, and considering we still don't have basic necessities such as rank reset after over three years since launch there is basically no chance the devs are capable of implementing that before the heat death of the universe

You can jump over holes in the ground

@LazyGhost25 said:
@Fibijean @joker7997 yeah but i think they need to go more drastic to make the players not want to disconnect because of the consequences.
Exactly this
Right now disconnecting has only positive effects. Lower rank means less waiting to get into a game. High rank does nothing. There is no reason to rank up ever. If rank rewards existed there would be an incentive not to disconnect
Then again it's unreasonable to expect such a basic feature after only three years since release

@Peanits said:
Hey all, we're taking a look into this right now. You should not be paired with players outside a certain range. Some of the screenshots in this thread and definitely outside that range. I'll be contacting some of you for more info- if you'd be willing to help us out, we'll take a peek and see what's going on.
If anyone else notices this, if you could grab a screenshot of the end screen (with all the ranks displayed) and send me a message on my profile, I'll get in touch and forward the information to the team. (Preferably not matches where you are playing SWF.)
Is SWF still supposed to allow players to bypass the rank ranges or not, in other words should we post screenshots of games where we did not play SWF but the other three survivors did (based on being on each other's friendlist on Steam) and there is a rank disparity or should we not?
-
No

@Glory said:
You're right, something IS wrong with ranking: there's no ######### reward! I feel worse escaping a match to see a double pip than I do dying and not even looking at the results screens.
I keep getting to rank 5-6,where it's all Billy/nurse/freddy, and I actually just want them to kill me so I can depip and roll the dice again, and maybe get a fun killer
This
Instead of making that awful battle pass garbage the cosmetics from that could be used as rank rewards. But all the devs care about is $$$ even if it means using predatory, exploitative business tactics that no reasonable player can ever find positive
-
@snowflake102 said:
Cause survivors I can find a match quicker. But killer lobbys it takes longer to find a match why is that? Is it because there's more killers then survivors?
You should include your region, platform and rank. All of those make a difference for queue times. In Asia the killer queues are instant supposedly for example (I don't know which platform or across which ranks) while in Europe it's the other way around
-
@Peanits said:
It's unfortunate and we would like to include everyone, but having some people test the new changes/content is better than nobody at all. We do tests internally every week, but the feedback we get from that is nothing compared to the feedback we get from a PTB. It's the difference between getting the opinions of a a hundred people or so and a few thousand. We won't be scrapping the PTB entirely just because it's not available on all platforms.
Will the mobile version have a PTB? People without a (powerful enough) PC might have a phone to use for the PTB instead

Somewhere below Freddy

Mindbreaker is a strong contender for worst perk in the entire game and will never be used except by lowranks

@JtheLast said:
Based on the images we get to see for the dlc I have a couple of thoughts. In one of the pictures Steve and Nancy appear to be interacting with what would be an entrance into the upside down. This could go a few ways, but my hope is that both survivors and the demogorgon can use these to traverse the map quickly(demo would be able to use them faster and possibly more accurately). This fits with lore as characters have gone in and out before, maybe they incur a debuff when traveling through so that there is cost to using it to travel. Along with this my hope would be for the demogorgon to have an additional power to either give him good chase potential or just make him very spooky/scary to play against. We’ll just have to wait and see, I’m excited though.
Seems unlikely that two survivors would be able to go into a portal at once. Most likely survivors can temporarily close the portals

Yep it looks like he has some sort of TP power judging from a screenshot of him emerging from a hive
If the power is related to portals in some way, which certainly seems to be the case, then there is a very high chance that the power has a secondary effect. If it was just portals you could just play Freddy. Even if you could place the portals wherever Freddy would still be superior because of the snares power, and not being able to be seen until he is close

i get that strategy is an option, but he's kind of difficult to maneuver when a hook is being swarmed or he's against a bunch of survivors that are a bit too over altruistic, as well as him being terrible at applying map pressure.
he's basically a walking m1 killer with a insta-down chainsaw. the only thing that really helps him with map pressure are extra perks, but even that doesn't really help against a good survivor team.
i'm not claiming that he needs a buff, however, i think he's fine.
but he definitely seems to struggle a lot more nowadays.
The main problem is that he lacks a clear gameplay identity
The only thing he can do that you can't also do with Hillbilly is AoE which is pretty much irrelevant

Guild Wars 2 can beat Apex Legends
Certain skins, for example the Dreadnought Raptor skin (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/3/3d/Dreadnought_Raptor_Skin.jpg) cost 2000 gems, which is 25 dollars
You can however convert ingame gold to gems to either buy stuff with ingame money only or partially

Then it's bad design.
A perk should not override an offering. If someone uses a WW it should protect the item they bring no matter what.
Imagine if DS made you immune to mori. Killers would have an absolute fit.
Explain why perks should not cancel out offerings

Yeah but it's hard to balance around arse-heads.
If the hatch is so hard to get that DCing can't help, it may be TOO hard for legit players.
As it is, the hatch is balanced, and DCers will stop, or be banned. It's all they can do.
DCers will stop, or be banned.
The number of games where you can DC to give someone the hatch can be expected to be low. If you DC literally every time in that situation then it still seems extremely unlikely that you can reach the ban system trigger. Cases such as this one must be handled manually and treated like an exploit

@Boosted ok that tone...
I'm just saying this so that people doesn't get their hope to high for the meet up.
We are doing this because we do not have a booth at Gamescom so this is why we have decided to have a least a get together at a bar so you can have a chance to talk with some members of the DBD team (that is mentioned in the event reservation) it is limited so you need to reserve.
Please don't ever turn on chat in the game you are a community moderator of if that post upset you. I can see how it can seem disrespectful (even if it wasn't intended to be as explained by the poster) but much worse things are regularly posted ingame and nothing seems to be done because in a 'pvp game there's always going to be a certain amount of "smack talk"'.
You are in a position where you can do something about the tone in the community. If you dislike that kind of tone, act.

Franklin's Demise is bad and not worth running in literally every situation
The interaction with White Ward is intentional, it was confirmed during a devstream once by Mathieu

@Peanits said:
Not being able to down someone with Feral Frenzy is very much so intentional. Since you can vault pallets and windows like a survivor, being able to down them with Feral Frenzy as well was (and always will be, as long as it's possible) overkill. It turned chases into wait for power > use power > repeat- there was no skill involved, you didn't need to outplay the other person, you just ran out the clock until you got a guaranteed down.
Blood and scratch marks not appearing is also very intentional. Since your power is non-lethal, the intent is to show you people who don't have deep wounds, not those that do. Using your power against someone who is already injured is silly, you cannot down them with your power.
It's not likely that the Legion will receive a full rework. A rework would require completely changing their power (like Freddy). We do have some changes we'd like to make, but there is no exact date for them just yet. We'll squeeze them in once we can.
Are those changes nerfs, buffs or something in the middle? Since the changes don't seem to be finalized yet, what is the goal of the changes, in general?

People who you think are lag switching, are not. They just have bad internet. "A lag switch is a piece of equipment installed on a home network that temporarily delays the flow of traffic to the internet. In an online gaming context, the physical toggle can be switched on to delay gameplay to give the lag switcher the upper hand."
You absolutely don't need anything physical to cause lag

Odds are, people would take a look at this and always vote for the maps with the highest survival rates while never voting for the ones that actually benefit them:
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/611/0XKXFQYC0Y6U.jpg
(The farm maps are a little lower now that the walls are solid, this data is a little out of date.)
Overall, you would receive less variety because there would be a meta of maps to vote against. You could always bring an offering if you want a map that favours you more.
It would be interesting to implement the suggest system without it actually affecting the map selection, just to see which maps are least popular. The "Did you have fun?" goes kind of in this direction but it's too broad to get information about maps. Alternatively you could do a survey on Surveymonkey or whatever and gather data that way. It would be interesting to see what the outcome of that would be
-
Based on the comment in the chat it seems like it was a SWF group that got mad. The current disconnect ban system does not consider such cases. From what is known about the update to the system the new version will not consider this either
On topic: It doesn't matter what you do, people will always find an excuse to disconnect. The only fix is a system that actually works properly and handles cases not just based on the frequency of disconnects. From the sound of it nothing of the like is coming anytime soon

Just because you play survivor doesn't make you automatically unbiased.

It might be beneficial to get a mod in here to clarify this. The use of a macro doesn't give you any advantage, and I actually did end up breaking my spacebar by struggling. I had to rebind it to right shift.
(Yes, I tried the "set it to mouse scroll down" trick. Doesn't work for me, and I have no idea why.)
The EULA doesn't state that it needs to give an advantage to be a violation of the rules. If that is not the case then the EULA should be updated to reflect this. The way it is currently written means that any macro use is a clear violation, regardless of what it does
-
Dbd EULA: https://store.steampowered.com/eula/381210_eula_0
(If the link doesn't work because the forum hates underscores, Google "dbd eula")
I. Rules of Conduct
While participating in the Game, you also agree to comply with certain rules of conduct that govern your use of the Game (“Rules of Conduct”), for example you may not:
[...]
• Use or distribute “auto” software programs, “macro” software programs or other “cheat utility” software program or applications.
The email states that developers may ban certain tools at their own discretion. It appears that by default EAC does not care about macros. The EULA however specifically mentions that macros are not allowed.
You are therefore breaking the rules by using macros and are also encouraging others to do the same.

"EAC is only interested of the use of 3rd party programs which give you an unfair advantage"
Wiggle and struggle macros do not give you am advantage, there it's fine. It's 1+1 right here, no rocket science.
They also say that developers may have specifically banned certain tools that are not being banned for by default by EAC
Using macros is a dumb idea. Since you are claiming that they are fine you should be able to provide proof that the devs allow macro use

"Slasher" seems like a much more likely franchise for a Netflix collaboration

It's bad and not worth running
The idea sounds good but I don't think a perk should have such a dominant GUI element, that seems more like something only powers should do
Maybe it can be integrated into the perk icon somehow, then it would be fine

@Peanits said:
I'd like to be optimistic and assume people would use that information to prepare for the match, but realistically, that's just going to make people dodge.
The safest bet is to just prepare for the worst. That way you're never caught with your pants down and worst case scenario, you do better than expected.
If every killer expected the worst possible matchup in every game then no one would play killer anymore, ever
The worst in Dbd is just that bad. In other games the worst matchups are signifcantly less bad in terms of winning and having fun

You have several choices in this game. You can pay for dlc, or you can use shards. You can gather the perks you need from the shrine. You can use other killers and/ or other perks in order to secure your success. Others have done it. Yes it is harder, but the choices are there and they are your own to do with as you will.
Or you can just play, reach whatever rank you can reach and get games with players of a similar skill level and ignore rank because it's worthless anyway

Rank is worthless
