  Is it the devs making uhh "certain questionable" changes to the game or is it Cote, the game director? What is going on with the management over there? There are so many major issues with the game that are just ignored for the most part.

  All of the big ones such as:

  • Map design
  • Unfair or unbalanced perks
  • Hit registration (although the hit validation beta shows that they are maybe working on it I guess?)
  • Weak or outdated killers (Wraith, Pig, Myers)
  • Poor communication with the community
  • Graphical optimization
  • *Other major issues (feel free to comment so that I can add them up here)

  I am trying to stay as civil as possible here, but I want to know why a company with 600+ employees working on a single game has not fixed core issues of Dead by Daylight and has continued to ignore them for years. (I'm not going to mention DbD mobile since they market it as a completely different game)

  Just a little comparison as to how big a 600+ employee company is, the development team for God of War 4 only consisted of 300 people at the time of making it. Now yes, they had quite a bit of time to work on God of War, but BHVR over the years has only implemented mere "band-aid" fixes to core issues. I feel like a company with 600+ people should get a lot more done than giving us an incomplete chapter.

  A prime example of a "band aid-fix" would be the existence of the bloodlust mechanic. I feel like I don't need to go over this one.

  So what are we left with? A company that is twice as big as Santa Monica Studio was but does half the quality of work?

  Also the events, are they even events to begin with? The answer would be no, they aren't. Just look at the one we just had for Halloween. Remember what happened? It was just a money grab and by the time they allowed us to get the cosmetics easier it was too late because most people had spent their money. And now look, we are given an unfinished chapter that will probably bring in many bugs and glitches (I bet it already has).

  The reason why you don't see different killers at high ranks often is because most of them are weak and people like killers who aren't weak due to them being...you know... fun and effective. At least most people do, I know there are some people who like the weaker killers and I am not judging them in any way.

  So what is going on with BHVR? Dead by Daylight has so many core problems that if they were fixed, would bring in a huge amount of players. It is already the 15th most played game on steam right now. It could definitely be in the top ten. But not with whoever is in charge at BHVR. And definitely not by ignoring the major issues with the game.

  Then BHVR has the audacity to say "We hope you will nominate us for the labor of love award" like are you fricking kidding me?

  I can't agree with you more. I've been playing DbD for a long time now, and over the years, I feel like they are caring less and less about the game and members of the community. The first issue I will address is the legendary skins. 15 dollars. 15! I mean, yeah, they look cool, but that's almost 2 full chapters! Like, really? Its like they are becoming greedy and focusing only on cosmetics and adding stuff, not fixing it.

  At the end of the match, when you can rate how much fun you had or report people, why do I feel like that is useless and the devs don't do anything with that info? On, wait, that's because they dont. Was one of your teammates sabotaging the game and working with the killer? Its okay, you can report them for unsportmanship. It won't do anything tho, but at least you could report them, right?

  Poor clown mains. I would hate to be a bully magnet like that. Weak in loops, and weaker in the open. Use all the bottles in a chase? Reload. The survivor will run off and escape, but you'll have all 5 bottles back for next time.

  Honestly, I'm not sure what the devs are doing. They have no main focus, and are trying to do way too many things for the game at once. I've heard talk of new map, key, and mori changes, along with hatch ones. New currency, new objectives in game, and all kinds of other stuff. The funny thing is, I haven't seen any action. Are they just not doing it? Maybe instead of pumping out 15 dollar cosmetics, they can dedicate a month to fix bugs. They might fix a few in that time, if we are lucky.

  Also, they do not communicate with us enough, let alone listen. The surveys are not enough. I've watched some of the Q and A streams, and Cote answered a question with "Go play something else..." Like, wow, you definitely care. You just told the community to not play your game, but something else. Seriously? Its sad when the devs don't care and give up. They are turning into Illfonic, and I can see DbD becoming like F13.

  Sorry for the ranting, but I'm almost done so bear with me. The charms that you can only get with codes are an issue for me. They gave out former cosmetics from the Summer Barbecue event and others, but not these? Its a pain, and very stressful, for me to sit in a stream with hundreds of others for hours, just waiting to get a code. I thought they learned after so many people complained about the Dwightcrow charm. I guess they weren't listening.
