It's like Resident Evil. Dead by Daylight having a Killer featured in the game for a specific franchise is strictly only advertising that the license owner is being paid for. Which the owner of the Stranger Things license is Netflix. They are pretty smart, and I highly doubt they would look at Dead by Daylight being competition over free advertising, like it is for every other license that Dead by Daylight pays for.
If I am putting my money on any reason why BHVR didn't renew the license was because the chapter wasn't making enough money. Demogorgon was never a very strong killer, and personally I haven't seen them played much. Either the characters. Up until they started to talk about how the product was leaving the store. It was all a money making idea on something that wasn't bringing in a lot of money. When Stranger Things is popular again on Netflix, we'll see the License come back on Dead by Daylight.
I don’t see that. Steve and Nancy were imo among the more popular characters..
also Resident Evil only got added after their attempt at an 4v1 asymmetric game failed.
but sure i could be wrong about this. I would gladly take another map for Stranger Things and other characters , eg Robin. We will see what the future holds but for now I will assume ST is gone for good.

so, the "please avoid posting about the following"?
thanks.
I missed that.
Well generally yeah. You will get a warning for stuff under that category.
but depending of the severeness of a forum violation, they might be jumping a step on the escalation system or the mods have a blind eye if it is clear the forum user didn’t know any better and it wasn’t out of malice and a very small thing etc.

Do you mean Stranger Things: 1984? Yes. Netflix already has games it's apart of the Netflix App, and there is already a Stranger Things game on it. Doesn't mean BHVR can't get the licensing for Stranger Things as well. They both can have games for Stranger Things at the same time. There are a lot of reasons why BHVR lost the licensing for Stranger Things, but I doubt "because Netflix wanted to make their own game" was the reason. When Netflix could do that anytime even with BHVR paying for licensing.
You'll probably never know the real reason as BHVR doesn't speak publicly about their standings with licensing.
It’s not about a single game though, that already existed before. Actually I think there were already 2 or 3 Stranger Things games.
it’s about a new gaming Service or platform Netflix is trying to establish. And Stranger Things content in another game could be viewed as a direct competitor since it’s one of the biggest franchises for Netflix.

I doubt they will replace Demogorgon. There is more seasons of Stranger Things to come out, it just got pushed back because of Covid. I imagine they will renew the license when they can. We will get a new map, and they will unlock the characters already in the game.
Netflix is trying to get their own Gaming service and all, that’s the most likely reason why they didn’t renew the license for DbD.
so it’s very unlikely they will renew the license anytime in the near future.
-
Personally I would take Carol. But Glenn and Maggie would also be very cool.
most likely are Daryl and maybe Michonne if we are looking at other crossovers (eg Fortnite). And I guess since it’s the actors likenesses it’s pretty damn expensive..

@GoodGuyMaleakhi said:
yeah it looks like it doesn't work, it must be because I bought her with shards smh. Debating whether I should just cave and spend money on the DLC instead. It's just the principle for me at this point, annoying that support hasn't gotten back to me either. it's been more than 2 weeks
That sounds really frustrating :(
i would not recommend to just buy her as they should have the correct info that you already purchased her and even progressed her! But I know that is easier said that done.
what would be the way if support doesn’t respond for 2 weeks?

Nope it is not. The perk get only activated by the picking up animation and not by the carrying animation

There is a forum section for feedback and suggestions:

Yay. Even though I might have lashed out here and there it was never personally against Mandy (or any mod here). I think they are really handling these sort of threads respectfully and great.

You could try to ‚purchase‘ them them via the in-game store but cancel before the actual payment. There was a bug a few weeks ago that could get solved this way.

i , personnally dont care to know what gender is any or any char in a video game , ppl who need to know it Only want to create troubles on this forum i think it has nothing to do in a vid game thats all
That a bold assumption that I can assure you is not true at all.
if you don’t care then act that way

thats your POV , not mine .
i dont care to see LGBT+ IG but who always ask to add it ? . always the sames persons, i never asked anything to be added .
It’s really not only his POV. LGBT+ existence is not political.
and you could argue that explicitly excluding LGBTQ+ but at the same time including multiple heterosexual relationships is also political. So we are already past that point.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, sorry I wasn't very clear at first I didn't put much thought into my wording haha but thanks for listening and hearing me. I don't talk about that part of my life very much if ever coz of the extreme shame baggage so this little exchange has felt more cathartic for me than I would have ever guessed so thanks :) ♡
I get that. And I think the internet can very much help in this regard - because despite all the scum here is there are also many people here listening, giving advice and just being here and not judging.
i do hope you have someone in your social environment, family or friends, you can freely talk to about this. Otherwise i urge you to find someone maybe in a local support group or even the internet. It can really get depressing to always keep everything to yourself I think..

Yeah that's why I didn't say this notion is a stupid/bad thing or anything like that coz I understand the importance - I more meant to just vent the way that it unfortunately wouldn't solve my feelings of underrepresentation in media because that always gets complicated by my under the radar choice (i.e how are creatives meant to make a fictional character trans, but also stealth, meaning everyone consuming would know they're trans, completely negating the stealth aspect of it for me anyways? Can't really happen realistically so I feel I've boxed myself into a corner there).
I hope that made more sense of where I was coming from, because I do hope they go for it already, I just have bittersweet unresolved feelings about it which was what I was meaning to relay. I think the only sex scene in media I've ever felt I could relate to was Greyworm's in Game of thrones, him being a male eunoch and all, which probably illustrates best where my head tends to be at in regards to my feelings about myself D:
Thanks for clarifying! I definitely didn’t understand your first post in this way and this I can totally feel.
representation will never be able to cover every individual. But I guess that’s also why it’s important to have widespread representation in every kind of media. As every media will (hopefully) use different kind of representation it will naturally become easier for an individual to see themselves represented somewhere even if not in one specific movie or game. Also it will help to fight stereotypes and normalize LGBTQ+ as a whole and in all its flavors.

@lordfart said:
I wouldn't feel very represented by an openly trans character, I am a stealth transman so most people irl don't know about my past. For all you know Jeff could be trans lmao
That’s great for you! Then you already feel kind of represented. There is also really no one asking for every character to have their sexuality and gender etc revealed.
but there are people out there who would be glad about explicit representation. Or rather not explicit exclusion which is kind of currently the state (the devs have stated they have done it unintentionally and they want to be inclusive)

Skillchecks are just meant to divert your concentration on the center of your screen reducing your periferal awareness, they are not meant to be hard.

Read this on why representation does matter:
@GoodBoyKaru said:
Very short post I'm putting here so I can link to it every single time a thread comes up, here's a University Thesis from a friend of mine that recieved a first pass (highest pass possible) explaining exactly why representation is important, and if you believe it's a waste of time I implore you to read it at least.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DKV2cNdnwODbNiqj47_doQhFxImVMDBB8doEh8h5UB4/edit
And also if you don't care about representation please follow your own advice and don't bash people who want it, you make yourself seem like you do care quite a bit
also people are mostly asking for equal treatment and heterosexual and cis gender chars are already represented. So no need for explicit exclusion

@GoshJosh said:
Are the skill checks getting harder only within the trial, permanently over time, or what? And how many before they start getting harder? Because if the former, newer players will still suffer; and if the latter, at what point does the difficulty cap? Regular skill checks aren’t meant to be obnoxiously difficult, or else killer perks related to skill checks would be worthless. It’s just meant to keep you from dozing off while repairing.
I personally don’t want a difficult skill check every dang time. The yellow glyph challenges are more annoying than fun to me, despite what I’ve seen others say about it on the forums. The great skill check reward is pretty negligible now too, in terms of progress and risk.
I wouldn’t mind skill checks being added to all other survivor interactions too, for more points. Cleansing/blessing, opening gates, even chests etc.
Totally agreed on phantom skill checks. It happens too often to seem to be coincidental anymore.
I don’t know if I’m one trial or permanent. That would need testing of course. Also I don’t think they should be obnoxiously difficult, just so that even experienced survs may miss them sometimes - not often.
i don’t think they solely exist to not doze off on a Gen. As I said, they are very much influential on the whole match for new survs and they just become negligible if you get used to them.

The offering was never meant to be killer only.
for the shirt, I guess it’s a bug on PTB which you can report here:

I will definitely consider having her in my killer rotation. I am not a main kind of player in DbD. Some I play often, some rarely for daily’s and such and some few I avoid completely except for initially adepts, other achievements and later challenges if they get features in a tome.
hope i can play her well though.

You currently can’t link your BHVR account with your PSN account…
if it ever comes you create a new BHVR account (or use an existing one) and there you can link the PSN account with your DbD progress

Well. I certainly don’t see anything anymore.
And it’s a very cute rock!

Oh no. A thread with ‚LGBT‘ in the title derailed on the forums.

BHVR already stated this won’t be coming any time soon (or ever). They didn’t give any reason but since Steam, Stadia and Epic Store all have Cross Progress already it’s pretty safe to say that Sony (and Microsoft) haven’t agreed to it..

thanks. I'm going to just not play for a few days then. I didn't know it was this bad.
It kinda is. It’s probably very unlikely to run into someone who would do this. But then again we are talking about the DbD community, where people tell other to kill themselves.
the bad apples are here…

Read this and decide on your own (I guess it’s less likely to get attacked if you don’t stream but it is still very much possible)
@GoodBoyKaru said:
Allow me to preface this by saying I am not a cybersecurity expert, nor do I pretend to be. This is based off of my own knowledge around the subject, and if I get something wrong please correct me as this is about player safety.
This is in no way a comprehensive guide, but basic tips you can (usually) easily follow to help protect yourself online.
intro
So, for people who don't know, DBD currently has a security flaw allowing people to track the IP addresses of people they match with, and with that IP address are able to track down personal information (doxxing) or DDOS attack (Distributed Denial of Service attack- where lots of packets of data are sent to the router all at once, causing it to overload and in some cases fry completely) you. This flaw was discovered on the PTB, however can be exploited on live servers too.
Don't believe me? Streamers, especially large streamers, have been getting DDOS attacks incredibly frequently, from Paulie to Otz, and streamer Elix has been swatted live on her stream. DDOS attacks cause your router to slow down drastically, and often kick all devices off of the router.
While waiting for an official statement on this, hopefully along with some upgraded security, here's some things you can do to help prevent this happening, and what to do in case it does happen.
EDIT: We have an official statement from BHVR, as confirmed by @MandyTalk:
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/7H7EW0M3A7VJ/image.png
what to do
So, on a PC there's one main thing you can do.
Invest in a VPN
VPN, standing for Virtual Private Network, creates a midpoint between you and the DBD server. Your data is encrypted between your router and the VPN (in most cases), so if it's intercepted then it won't be readable (some of this data including, you guessed it, your IP address). A lot of VPNs can cost money- obviously, if you're only getting it to play DBD, attempt a free trial or get a free one. Don't spend lots of money for a product you're using only to safely play one game.
There are free VPNs, just for the record, which will do the job of changing IP address and preventing DDOS attacks even if they won't provide the snazzy features of other VPNs.
VPNs do not make you completely immune to DDOS attacks, however the VPN will take the majority of the attack, allowing you to potentially stay online even if it is slower.
Change steam networking settings
It is worth noting that the following has no impact on DBD specficially, however could help in other games which do utilise this feature. Thank you to commenter @Austin for mentioning this, as I was relaying information I'd gotten from Twitter. VPNs are your best bet for preventing a DDOS attack from occuring in the first place.
To change these settings, naviate to "Settings" in your Steam client:
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/A093SI0XZ7JT/image.png
Head to the "In-Game" option:
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/D688WVBF30P6/image.png
And change this option to "Never":
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/RNU8F73PRDYB/image.png
I don't know any preventative measures on console, however I do know a way to help remedy the situation.
if you get ddosed
Change your IP address
This will (probably) differ between the different ISPs, however changing your IP address can help if people have it and are sharing it. This can be done in a few different ways, so I'll link you to this guide on how to do it:
https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/change-ip-address/
And yes, two of these options do work on consoles too (contacting your ISP, or disconnecting and reconnecting all devices after around 15-20 minutes).
if you get doxxed
Doxxing is the act of publicly revealing a person's previously private personal information.
Firstly, doxxing is a criminal offence (even if some countries don't have regulations explicitly on the subject matter, it can lead to other charges). If you are worried about having been doxxed, contact local police. If you have been threatened with personal information, screenshot and save their account details for use in the police report. They can be tracked down a lot of the time, and you can press charges.
This article by WIRED helps explain what to do if you've been doxxed, with tips from a cybersecurity expert.
https://www.wired.com/story/what-do-to-if-you-are-being-doxed/
TL;DR- Assess if you're mentally ready to deal with it, lock down all socials and other accounts for a while, and report the account used for doxxing to respective sites (as it's often times against their TOS).
There isn't much you can do, but just make sure to keep everything as private as you can.
if you get swatted
Swatting is the act of deceiving the emergency services into raiding someone's location, usually their house, by giving false tips to the staff. This could be something from illegal narcotics to alleged kidnappings. Swatting is also a criminal offence- so if you were doxxed and then swatted, be sure to save the details of the doxxer (do it anyway, but definitely do it here).
I can't exactly give a lot of tips here, however it's worth saying that you should use common sense. If you're being swatted, the emergency services have reason to believe you are potentially dangerous. Do not give them any reason to affirm these beliefs. Try to remain as calm as you possibly can- which of course will not be easy- and explain your situation as clearly as you can.
Remember that your life could potentially be at risk in case of a SWAT. This is genuinely dangerous and it's imperative you keep a cool head and do nothing reckless which could endanger you or others.
Stay safe.

You still have the problem that the original is most definitely classified as a Science Fiction Action Film and that the license is also in the hands of another dev and is extremely expensive.
the original movie is also classified as Horror along those other genres. Also BHVR already bought the license for Deathgarden. So it should be possible if both parties would be willing to.

Release the skins normally and not at all in the rift?
If you ignore the rift (as you can easily go) that’s how it goes. And clearly there are many people that enjoy the rift with the challenges and rewards. No reason to take that away.
-
the first Terminator movie was labeled Horror. Same goes for Stranger Things. Obviously not pure horror but no one ever said that’s a restriction for DbD. Resident Evil movies especially the ones after the first are also more action than horror..

The account you need to play Dead by Daylight
You don’t need it to play DbD.
the BHVR account is used for cross Progression for different platforms (Steam, Stadia and Epic Store are currently supporting cross progress with Switch following possibly in the future)
-
Keep in mind that the devs have recently stated they won’t consider direct implementation of fan suggested content/characters, though they do read (some of) them and enjoy them.

@Nathan13 said:
They need money from the new content so that’s not gonna happen.
Original chapters are already purchasable with shards and cosmetics probably bring in more money than original chapters.
they could just release some more auric cell only cosmetics and get their money that way.

Unless the maps were paid DLC. Could give us a set of 3 to purchase or something.
how would that even work? People who bought them can’t get matched with people that didn’t? What about swfs?
-
There is SO much stuff to criticize BHVR, the devs and even the forums/the mods for. But somehow people choose to complain about stuff like this? PTB content discussions get moved to the PTB feedback section.
and the feedback sections are not hidden in any way. The community chooses to not look there as often.

@Maliken said:
Tunneling is a valid strategy for killers, is the most efficient way for them to win in the same way slamming gens is for survivors. Is it fun? No, but neither is seeing 2-3 gens pop before the killer gets the first hook.
@Fuglylol said:
I think many people need to understand is that the first thing that needs to happen to stop tunneling ist to stop the gen rushing. As killer in many cases the only way to even have a chance is to tunnel one player out of the game because if you dont, you dont stand a chance. (unless you play blight or nurse)
Killers are running 4 perks to slow gens down and theres still 2 gens popping before the first hook, its absolutely insane and not fun at all. The boon totems now encourage it even more, cause everyone is healed up in no time. You cant implement stuff that buffs survivors even more before fixing that issue. Only after the gen rushing stops we can talk about ways to stop killers from camping, slugging or tunneling.
they need to address both issues at the same time otherwise it will get heavily abused.
think about facecamping Bubba with a new mechanic against gen rush. If the Bubba has any game sense and skill it’s already a guaranteed 2 K in the current state.

I'd rather just have the skin released normally with shards.
But they get released normally later on…
-
while I don’t care for the lore entries and over 90 % of the charms I very much like the rifts for the cosmetics (which don’t get released shortly after to the store but at least 6 months after and actually pretty much always way longer)
More rewards to fill in the blanks would be nice though. Shards, BPs for the beginning. Maybe new customization pieces like lobby backgrounds, music if they ever make them customizable.
-
Way too far in planing/development to just trash it now. And just starting now with a complete new planning would result in even more chaos than we are already used to.
there should be less new killers/survivors and more focus on Quality/QoL/Game Balance etc. But that is also something the whole community is asking for for a long time already
-
I would rather see complete new items as we already have event firecrackers and flashbang perk.
-
I am pretty sure I didn’t get the bloodpoints. Also I didn’t even read the story’s because I thought the tome would still get archived and that the skin rewards would just get disabled?

i gotta agree with the already mentioned piano teeth on the DbD version, not so nice. Otherwise both version look good imo. I guess in-game RE version will look better because… well DbD is DbD.
-
Could add screenshots from both games so people who haven’t played or paid too much attention can directly compare?
-
I guess you should find out why you get disconnected. Maybe it is your connection but the error message is wrong. Is your XBox connected wireless to your router? Otherwise I guess you could contact support or post in the Technical Issues section of the forums to try to find a solution.
the dc penalty gets higher the more often you dc in a set period of time. So if you don’t dc for a longer time your next penalty would start again at 5 min instead of 5 hours. The time periods are not officially revealed though.

Yeah but i think there's more to it when implementing a character. He probably has less than an hour of screen time in that film. His lobby animations are kind of generic because what else should it be. When re-creating a character i believe some artists take inspiration from many pieces of source material.
But he has one of the best ‚sittin at the campfire‘ animation of all the survs.

DBD doesn't have the license for his likeness, does it?
No they don’t have it. Doesn’t speak for either version though, since both are very different from the actor. (It’s still a little insulting to say the goblin thing we had looked more like the actor imo..)
