As someone who played the beta and pre-purchased the game, i completely disagree with this entire thread.

Summer BBQ event is way too overrated and quite frankly was just a copy & paste of Howling Grounds event.

I absolutely hated not only the old ps2 aesthetics along with their color tints (especially on MacMillan, Coldwind and a few other maps), but i also hated the old Survivor animations (especially the running animation), old fog and depth of field.

Hatchet standoffs, old keys, infinites, old metas and vacuum pallets was nothing but pure frustration.

I'm also genuinely glad Billy is no longer a regular pick by people because ######### that killer.

Coldwind being bright is only a good thing, it gives off the Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibes now unlike before, so now it fits both Hillbilly and Leatherface.

Now all that's left is to go even further and replace or remove all remaining remnants of old dbd in the game, the sooner the better.

in Is it just me or does this game give off so much nostalgia? Comment by Smoe May 26, 2023

Apparently Drafts without a title to it cannot be accessed afterwards.

Problem with adding gore to dbd is the risk of getting the game banned in some countries, in fact i do wonder if the ptb gore will make it to the live build.

Postal Dude would fit more as a killer than as a Survivor tbh.

My dream cosmetics are mostly the stuff that's impossible to get into the game, skins like OG Freddy, Evil Dead 2 Young Ash, Scream accurate robe, Bubba's outfit from TCM2, Butterball & Deep Throat/Female Cenobite. Basically the stuff that cannot make it into the game for mostly contractual reasons.

I also know what i don't want to see: Netease cosmetics being brought over to core dbd.

in Cosmetics you'd like to see in the game Comment by Smoe May 23, 2023

Mostly i just want Clementine as a Survivor, but having more characters as skins are always a nice bonus.

in If "The Walking Dead" came to DBD, which would you prefer it to be based on? Comment by Smoe May 23, 2023

Wesker honestly sucks the fun out of the game for me everytime just like Blight & Hillbilly does.

Hm…well that’s gonna depend on who you ask.
For films, the ones that come to mind immediately are Jason, the Xenomorph, Pennywise and Chucky. Alien might be the trickiest to acquire though, with Disney ‘n all.
I’d argue Jason is the big man missing from the roster, though the game has gotten to a point where I’m not sure what niche he could fill.
For video games, the biggest names would be Clock Tower, Amnesia, FNaF (god forbid) Fatal Frame, The Evil Within, Bioshock, etc.
Of those, The Evil Within is my most-wanted. Though I have no idea how likely it is. The artist they had on the stream left the studio, after all.

Alien might be the trickiest to acquire though, with Disney ‘n all.get.

I'd argue Pennywise and any other Stephen King IP are the trickiest ones, if not also the hardest ones too simply because the guy just don't do video game stuff with his IPs after the not very successful first attempts at a video game adaptations back in the 80's.

in In your opinion, what is the full list of licenses dbd needs for it's roster to feel complete? Comment by Smoe May 22, 2023

I can't speak on behalf of others, but i hate Haddie solely because we got the inferior version of Haddie and not the Tome version of Haddie who's the superior Haddie in every way.

But Dracula has his likeness , so if they already cooperate with him that is half way there to license his Dracula character.

Thing is, it doesn't matter if Dracula has his likeness because the iteration of that character as well as the clothing for that character are from a movie that's owned by a company and not Nicolas Cage himself, so they would still have to get the license from that company in order to get the clothing for Nicolas Cage.

Since the license we have is purely with Nicolas Cage himself and no one else, any characters or clothing from any movies owned by a company that Nicolas Cage has played in would result in it's own contract and would be it's own dlc seperate from the Nicolas Cage dlc, not to mention we haven't had any dlc yet where a new company later got a cut of an existing dlc as well because bhvr gave a cosmetic from a different property that isn't covered contractually with the existing dlc. (I'm looking at you ghostface dlc with no scream robes.)

Best they can do is make cosmetics that's loosely based on the outfits he's worn in movies, so where they look like them but ain't completely accurate to them, just enough to avoid legal trouble.

Also in an interview with Mathieu Cote, he said that they weren't gonna make outfits from the movies he's in, but from what he wears irl.

in Nicolas Cage's Dracula ? Comment by Smoe May 21, 2023

Nicolas Cage's outfits not be any of the movie outfits he's worn, but rather they will be based after what Nicolas Cage would be wearing in real life.

in Nicolas Cage's Dracula ? Comment by Smoe May 21, 2023

I know Pennywise & Vecna 100% ain't coming, my guess is either Alien due to the next chapter also being Sci-fi, Jason since the lawsuit is over or maybe also Cucky because Dave Richard wants him in.

I'd bet money one of the chapters this year will be from Until Dawn given supermassive (makers of until dawn) are making another game with DBD

I wouldn't be too sure it's Until Dawn considering Sony still refuses to let go of it.

The only reason u have any problem there is, that you don't know u can hit survivors thru the fence (those white around generator). This information effectively hugely shortens the path for killer making it impossible for survivor to use for looping (it can only be used to move to more favorable section of map or by using pallets next to main - but those ate also not fully safe).
Try it yourself once. The map is strong around cow tree and shack. Main is usable, but not strong segment.

Fence hits only works if the Survivor is right up against the fence itself on the other side of it, if there's any amount of space between the Survivor and the fence then it won't work.

Are you taking the window on the long loop or are you going through the doorway? Because you should be taking the window if they are trying to loop that tile since the doorway is out of the way. I've literally never seen survivors entity block that window by looping it without massive distance already being had. The only way you can see survivors doing that is if you are going around the window instead of taking it.
I see survivor use the windows to get to another loop but never see them connect loops with the windows really. Like the corner window is more like Iron works of misery window where you just buy time getting somewhere else and the side window is meh since you really can't do much with it. Sometimes I'll see survivor get a single loop on the side window but it really seems like a non issue.

We'll have to agree to disagree on it then, because i do see it as an issue.

I've seen Survivors entity block the window as well as seen them chain the windows multiple times even with myself vaulting the windows.

It's not even massive distance that's needed, just a fair bit, and if there isn't enough distance then they'll just go to the nearby pallet by the haystacks or the L walls that's closeby the main building.
