Disclaimer: This post is very opinionated but reply with your own opinions!

Im sorry but when I look throught the “balance fixes” or whatever its called category, all I see is killers complaining about slight advantages that survivors have. Im honestly hoping the devs will read this so they dont get convinced to do any of these.

-The Hatch.
I see a lot of salty killer mains on here complaining about the hatch. First of all, killer is already very overpowered. Removing the hatch would make killer even more unbalanced. Sure, the idea to close it was good, but thats basically a game over for survivor. Unless, they can clutch (assuming) three gens. Also, this is targeted toward specific killers who think theyre gods at the game but complain about hatch. If youre so good at the game, you should be able to track down the hatch, and grab the survivor. Perks like insidious would help. Also, you could just kill the survivors before the gens are done (its not that hard) plus, i dont think that you would want to wait around for an immersed survivor whose probably sitting in a locker, waiting for you to DC. If you really think that hatch is a free win for survivors youre wrong. Im sorry but you are.

-Infinites.

Infinites are patched and it is basically impossible to infinite. Killer will get bloodlust and get you. Killer is so easy, and i can easily counter infinites. (im a trash killer)

I know my infinite point wasnt as in depth as my hatch breakdown. But the overall lesson is that killers need to stsrt getting used to not winning and grow a pair. ( y e e h a w ) 🤠

Also, i know the devs will most likely never remove the hatch, but if theyre thinking about it, this is to persuade them not to.

"Killers are overpowered" "killers need to get used to not winning and grow a pair"

Anyway, you must be fairly new to the game. This is not a complaint from me, simply a statement of reality: killers are far less powerful than survivors with two exceptions, which are nurse and spirit. This is purely speaking in terms of potential ability. In expert play, nurse and spirit are the only killers that are capable of defeating an optimal survivor team.

in Killers on here complain about everything. Comment by TheHourMan February 16, 2019

Have the Entity randomly appear around the map and change things (like placing or taking event items) thoughout the match. Making it so the survivors have to find the item and work on it while the entity moves it around randomly. Maybe make it a special dark hex totem that takes 160 seconds to complete and gets moved every 20 seconds. The totem will disappear even when survivors are working on it. Multiple survivors can work on it together and each get full points for the amount of time and there is no speed penalty. This means it will always give the same amount of points no matter how many people work on it. Then the killer can get event points by forcing the item to move with a 5 second long interaction and hooking survivors who had worked on it. If the totem happens to disappear before the killer finishes the action, they still get the points for it as if they had finished. The more the survivor had worked on it, the more points they are worth. They get a dark aura around them as they gather more points from it. They lose half of the points when they are hooked and the killer gets exactly that amount. The points are awarded post-match.

There is a UI widget at the top right part of the screen that shows how many points you currently have in the match.

I think this event promotes proactive play from both sides. It encourages the killer to go and move the totem, but also allows them to collect hook rewards for just protecting the gens and killing survivors. It also means survivors will never get zero event points as long as they worked on the totem, since they lose half every time they are hooked.

The totem shoild be worth a total of 20,000 bloodpoints for the 160 seconds. That means it is worth 80 points per second. This is given in full among the survivors working on it if multiple are working on it at the same time. This way it will always give out exactly 20k. Killer can get a max of 20k as well.

Also, a perfect killer will always lose to a good survivor team... unless that perfect killer happens to be nurse or spirit.

Try playing against nurse at rank 1 and tell us how weak she is. She is by far the strongest killer. And saying "she is really hard to use, so she's not the strongest" is nonsense. That doesn't make an expert nurse any less powerful.

I don't think she is overpowered, but she is absolutely unbeatable in a chase if you face a good nurse. There is literally nothing you can do but run maybe 5 steps then go down. Nurse doesnt even need addons to be that strong.

the hatch rework?? DS change?? I thought they stopped trying to balance them. I am quite sure they said it.

I knew they tried a hatch rework that they didn't like. I didn't know they had abandonded reworking it completely though. That's disappointing.

That's not true. They're replacing the end game with an entirely new system. No more hatch at all.

Especially because of what they said in last week's devstream about "the PTB comes kn about a month."

Next ptb on feb 19th will no doubt have a new killer and maybe a freddy rework that wont go live and will probably go live next mid chapter patch.

So accurate, that's the exact date for the next big update to hit the ptb.

I hate to burst your bubble, but on the last devstream they said the ptb would be out in about a month. The last one was on January 31st. One month from January 31st would be March 8th.

On top of that, Chapter 10 came out on December 11th. It hasn't even been 2 months yet since that came out. It has only been about 2 weeks since the mid-chapter patch came out. We should expect to wait another 4 weeks after February 11th. This means the PTB should come out around the end of the first week of March or the last week of February, then the chapter will release 14 days later. The pattern for a while has been: teaser. 5 days later ptb. 14 days later release. Spirit was an unusual case because there were issues in development with her.

Mid-March is when the chapter should release as long as everything goes smoothly.

january 31? the mid chapter patch was released on live servers in janury 22, what patch was in the ptb those days?
And there is a thing im missing, i think i'm gonna burst your bubble, from december 11 to january 22 there are six weeks right?, 22 january plus four weeks means new release in ptb server, and its in february 19 as we said, and two weeks later its will hit the live server, its will around march 5.
Then where is the point im missing?, i don't see a reason to burst my bubble

It still hasn't even been 2 months yet since the release of Legion. Their goal is to release a new chapter every 3 months. That puts the most likely date in the 2nd week of march, with the PTB being close to end if February.

Because it cuts down on the grind which is what helps to keep people playing the game.

True. But then you also have people complaining about the grind. So there is not any win win situation here. Maybe halving the points would be a good alternative?

I’m a new player. I’ve only been playing for about a week. So take what I say from that perspective; there are multiple layered grinds in the game.

You have to grind up all the characters whose perks you want.

Then you have to grind the character you want to play just to find those perks for that character.

Then if you want to play a different character you have to grind that character to find all the perks you want to equip on THAT character.

And that goes for both survivor AND killer side.

I think once you’ve unlocked a teachable perk then they should all start to show up after level 15 and you have to choose which one you go for each level instead of hoping that the one you want out of all the ones you’ve unlocked shows up.

Ohhh I understand where you're coming from now. Yeah the main difference between DbD and Warframe grind is that in DbD there is an attainable end in sight (getting all the perks unlocked and bought for the characters you want.) Once you have finished that, you still want to keep playing because it's fun to use those builds.

The grind is simply a means to an end in DbD. Once you finish your grind, I feel like getting rewarded BP and Iridescent shards should come with the territory. Especially when it comes to devotion ranks. I understand devotion ranks are simply meant to show your dedication, but you can't show off your devotion ranks to other players in-game. If I can't flaunt it, I would at least like to be rewarded for my efforts.

I honestly don’t know what devotion ranks are. O’m Going to assume they come with Prestiging a character?

if that’s the case, why not give killers with ranks (or between a number of ranks like 1-10, etc) Entity flair with their abilities or appearance?

maybe a Trapper with enough Devotion will have Entity claw-shaped bear traps, a charavter’s Weapon could lash out with Entity claws, a dark mist follows along behind them at their feet, etc?

Since cosmetics help to establish visual cues for things in game, why not have them be reflected for something like Devotion?

It's when you get your player level (iridescent shards one) to 100

I don't think DbD is the type of game where the grind IS the game (like Warframe.) DbD is a competetive game that people continue to play frequently even after they already have literally everything and tens of thousands of iridescent shards.

I still see people with OG prestige skins running around pretty often.

It's ok.

A lot of "children" play this game, complete with the implied mentality and sense of entitlement.

I hate that you have to DC more than 40% of your games (which is insane) in order to get punished for it. I think you should get punished for every DC.

I have always said that DC should not be bannable. Instead, every single perk you have bought with that character should be deranked by 1(or lost entirely if it was already level 1) and in order to get them again, you have to find them in the bloodweb all over again. EVERY single time you DC. However, I also am aware bugs exist, so you should be allowed 1 free DC every 24 hours.

It depends on how you define "evil."

Is it evil to kill for pleasure? Or is it insanity?

My view of evil is that it is the exact reverse of unconditional love. Evil is selfless. Where the one committing the evil acts get nothing out of it, but they do it purely out of the intent to inflict misery on someone else, even at the cost of making themself miserable in the process. Self sacrifice in order to cause pain on someone else, without getting any satisfaction or pleasure in it yourself.

That being said: who is the most evil killer? I would argue there are multiple candidates. Spirit, Nurse, Micheal. These three don't seem to take any pleasure in killing. They do it purely out of compulsion or malice. They harm others simply for the sake of causing harm to others. Like a force of nature. Indiscriminate and driven by cold, uncaring processes.

in Are the legion the most evil? Comment by TheHourMan February 7, 2019

I would love to have a witch as a killer, but the hag is very similar to what you could think of as a witch.

What I would love would be a witigo, or wendigo killer. Or a skinwalker. Or even an Ahaha. Any native american monster really. They're all scary as #########.
