  • They've already talked about how they're buffing solo up to the level of swf so they can then buff killers around all 4 survivors being equal.

    Dedicated servers are not a sound investment when each game session only holds 5 players. If we're talking about game sessions that hold 8 or more players, then yes it's worth the cost.

    You actually bring up a valid point there since the resources for a 5 player versus 10 player match aren't insignificant.

  • @Visionmaker said:

    And? Instead of doubling down and investing resources into DBD, BHVR made the choice to invest into another game.

    Money went into Death Garden. I guarantee you team members were also shifted onto DG. They made a gamble and it's my earnest opinion that the resources would've been better spent on improving and reinforcing DBD.

    Did you even look at the other divisions they have? While people may have moved over may'be they wanted to, they've also gone on a hiring spree so perhaps those people got replaced.

    If someone wanted a new opportunity and decided to move over and you said sorry you've got to stay here. Well guess what they go to work for someone else that's willing to give them a new opportunity.

    You can't prove someone is lag switching, you can't just start banning people for having bad internet.

    This.
    And also consider all the salty players who false report killers for just being mad about losing.

    To an extent proving it is hard but when you're constantly rubber banding around only during a chase/vault/window until they hit you. It's pretty obvious since the moment they down you it magically disappears.

    Yea the Devs just had a livestream and announced that they were aiming for early next week launch and that it would launch for all platforms at the same time

    We are aiming for a release next week on all platform. We did not say at the same time.
    If we encounter an issue with reaching the next week goal, we will communicate to the Community.

    Thanks for clarifying that, now I have to go blow 1 mil or so bp again to not waste it lol.

    @SenzuDuck Yes that's true.
    In addition to it, most lagswitches are taken down by EAC.
    Large number of lagswitch reports on a player's account will lead to Temporary ban escalation.

    Sorry for summoning you, but also, thank you answering the question.

    Good to hear, sharing internet in a household is a big problem, if my sister ended up uploading something or downloading movies, it will no doubt affect players ping in game

    if only we had dedicated server

    F13 gets dedicated servers... while DBD invests resources into a totally separate flop of a game.

    Good thinking, upper management!

    You do realize that DB and Death Garden were 2 completely separate divisions of Behavior right? The DBD group works separately from the other groups just the same as Blizzard has an Ow division and WOW and D3 division etc.

  • Why is it that some people have to resort to such extreme histrionics and bring Hitler into it? That's completely overboard and disrespectful to all those lives who were lost. Your region does cause you issues yes but to blame that on the devs when they're trying to improve things is beyond wrong.

    Most people on this forum will never get a forum ban and those that do most likely deserved it even though we can't see all the reasons why. You can criticize the devs just fine as long as you don't go overboard with it. If the devs banned everyone that was critical of them as you claim they would this forum would be pretty
    empty.

  • @Mister_xD said:
    oh, you didnt know?
    killers using exploids (like the clown gaining speed while always hitting the reload button over and over again): will be fixed within a couple of days / a week.
    survivors using exploids (like gentapping): might get fixed after (how long does that exist? oh yeah....) two years.

    Because it's such a major game breaking exploit that it requires instant fixing. If you have to use gen tapping as an excuse then you've got more problems than the gen tapping.

    It's very rare I see anyone gen tap and when they do quite often they blow the gen up and or they get found by the killer paying attention. While they're busy gen tapping I and the others are powering through gens and laughing at them.

    Then we usually have to go rescue them off the hook because they're so focused on gen tapping they don't notice the killer about to nail them.

    On any of the small maps that have confined gen areas and someones doing that I'll leave because I know the killer will get them soon.

    As a killer I love it when people gen tap especially when I don't use Ruin because they're not paying attention and it's a free Ruin effect.

  • @MandyTalk said:
    Appreciate your patience, the bot does pick up a lot of the spam (it picks up way more than makes it onto the forums) and I appreciate how annoying it is to have to wade through spam posts on the front page, but we really do try to get to them as fast as possible.

    A question for you then @MandyTalk why isn't there an option to flag and report just by clicking on the thread itself? It'd be similar to how League Of Legends does there, you simply right click and and flag it as x. That way the spammer doesn't get any views which is what they're after.

    The thread gets flagged enough it gets auto hidden for a mod to take a look at and if people are abusing the flag system they get a temp ban.

  • @rafiksom said:
    So I have to spend 30 minutes uploading a video, cant close the game, because there will be no return to the report page. And then I have to put a link letter by letter because copy/pasting doesn't work.

    It can't be ######### like that. Cmon.

    It takes me on average 2-3 minutes to upload the video to YT and then another 15-30 seconds to type the link in. The game lobby windows stays open at max 3 minutes or so and I can go grab a bite to eat etc.

  • You have to post a link into the report by hand since copy/paste doesn't work.

  • Most rank 1-2 killers that use it go with Sloppy and ir Coultrophobia like @Vankruze said and usually I see it on Huntress, Billy, Nurse, Hag sometimes. But usually it's used more on Nurse/Billy due to the high mobility.

    @Mister_Holdout said:
    Funny how it seems that a majority of the hate filled speech comes from the survivor side.

    How do you know these replies are coming from people who exclusively play survivors?

    Because I rarely see killer mains use such hateful speech.

    Sure, conversations get heated on both sides, but it always seems to be the survivors who issue death threats and things of that nature.

    You've obviously not played with the COD type killers then I've reported my share of them for some extreme stuff as well. To say that one side just usually leaves isn't true even though it's more likely to come from survivors. I've probably got some video and or screenshots somewhere of what I've sent to the devs.

    @Vietfox iit is a real shame you don't play with us. When we play together on the weekends the game is the background noise as we drink and talk about the most ridiculous things.

    Damn, i'll seriously consider to buy a ps4 now, and i mean it. Maybe around october.
    PS: i fell asleep xD

    No PS4 here but when my friends and I used to play other games the ahem mic chatter was hilarious.

  • @TheLegendDyl4n1 said:

    ok well if someone is abusing mic then they could add a new report feature after the game ends and you can report people for being trolls in-game over mic

    Yes but how do you know fi they're being toxic really? While eys number of reports would flag them unless you had actual audio or looked at radio radar to see in each game where they were at it's not so easy. This is why in game mics aren't so easy to police.

    @powerbats said:
    One of the biggest issues with having it ingame is then the trolls would run around spamming it while alerting the killer to where people are.

    that comes with almost every game with coms

    True but given this is an asymmetrical game where you can't just leave middle of the match like say COD/Star War Battlefront etc.You also can't really afford the time to tab/hit x key or w/e to mute someone. The troll in here is much more destructive than in other games as well.

    This community still isn't as bad as the LoL community tbh.

    Lol community isn't that bad, it's got a super high population base which increases the % of jerks you might encounter. But no community will ever equal COD for complete douchebaggery. Get that killstreak before someone else, they kill you. Don't unhook i mean save them in time (insert expletive flame rant here).

  • One of the biggest issues with having it ingame is then the trolls would run around spamming it while alerting the killer to where people are.

  • When I saw the thread title this immediately came to mind given the info that's already out there and knwoing people would flock to the thread.

  • I just gave 1 the hatch and 1 the exit as Myers even though I had the Mori daily and yellow Mori. They were cool so I let them go. That and it's rank reset tomorrow so time for some enjoyment.

     Lmao ur gonna be power tripping just like most of the other ones. 

    “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” – Christopher Hitchens.

    Assumptions don't equate to facts just because you disagree with someone. I could say you're acting like completely whiny spoiled entitled 2 year old throwing a tantrum in the corner. While you may in fact be doing that it doesn't make it true.

    As far as mods being on a power trip some of the loudest complainers are those that asked for the mods to be stricter. The mods started being more strict once they got help and now people are complaining they're ona power trip.

    You seem to be the only one that wants to use that logical fallacy repeatedly when you can't debate. I posted information so that people could use that information to have more info to discuss with.

    Whether i want to be a mod or not has no bearing on how I try and help people or give info since I was giving this out long before mods were even discussed.

    Anytime anything remotely critical about the game or the devs get said and here comes @powerbats to defend them and tell everyone why they r wrong. 

    So I'm the only one that points out flaws in yours or others posts somehow? You also somehow miss where I've called out the devs for issues or agreed with those that have. Just because I defend them doesn't mean I do so blindly.

    But if you or anyone else is going to post blatantly false stuff or innuendo then i'll call you out on it. The same as I call out survivors that say killers are op when they just started playing the game.

    Perhaps you should go back and read my comments on why i say people are wrong instead of just being completely biased and ignoring the substance of what I say.

    Still kinda stupid. Since if I have a good game I usually give last one the hatch.

    Well not all killer do that, I usually try and do it unless the person was a jerk. You'll see some killers pretend to offer the hatch and then grab the survivor when they jump in and hook them.

    I'll make noises to show the person the hatch and once they see it I'll move far away so they know i'm not trolling them.

    The killers that stand near it and wait then if you gt in say I was going to give you the hatch yet swing at you or the worst. They had no intention of giving you the hatch ever.

  • @chemical_reject said:

    They have made plenty of money off the cosmetic store to hire a few people to work on dedicated servers. There's this thing called multitasking that means that one team could be working on new content while another could be doing dedicated servers 

    As I've said repeatedly they have to not only rewrite the code from the ground up but hire a lot more people. You don't know exactly how much money they've made from the store and if you look at their job listings.

    https://www.bhvr.com/job-opportunities/

    Now look at all the job listings they've got open right now and you don't just hire anyone for the position. You have to go through the interview progress to make sure you get the right person which takes time.

    Once they hire them it takes them time to get them up to speed on how things work and some of that has already been done.

  • @Wolf74 said:

    Just give it a limited number of heals, done.
    Why should survivor get more extra chances on top of all their extra chances?
    If someone is able to heal himself 3 times per match, he should be running out of luck.

    Why should a survivor be punished because you as a killer decided to tunnel them the entire match? He shouldn't be running out of luck because you're a tunneling killer. What if they're the obsession then, well they're going to need to be able to heal more than 3x probably.

    Oh but just take a medkit, well that works right up until the moment the killer hits you and you find out they've got Franklins.Oh and they also are using Sloppy Butcher so even if you manage to lose them occasionally well you're just screwed. All because 1 killer can't handle you having a perk that does what it's supposed to do.

    It heals at a reduced rate compared to a normal medkit which can still be negated to an extent by Nurses Calling, Thanatobia, Stridor etc. If the nerf that resets progress goes through then you shouldn't have any complaints.

    They're already increasing healing time for self Care as it is and they're not going to remove it from the game.

  • It's the COD crowd migrating around and by and large the community isn't toxic, we just remember the toxic times it is. Just report them post game and move on, and even though the devs say the report system isn't active. It's foolish to assume they're not actively reviewing that stuff and catching all the people who think they can be jerks in chat.

  • @Demonsouls1993 said:
    Only survivor mains say this bull become a killer main and put in a 1000 hours as killer before u open ur mouth

    Actually both sides mains say stuff like this when new or don't know any better on certain things. Also if a killer main with 3k + hours said something along the lines of killers are op. Would you still feel the same way or would you bash them as well?

  • @RSB @Vietfox I've been giving you both some lol's as well as awesomes since your back and forth is amusing.

    You used to a ways back see who gave you what but that's not functional anymore unless of course that was a bug. I thought it was kinda neat myself.

  • @DarkWo1f997 said:

    Wow you’re quite the condescending one huh? Obviously tweaks will need to be made but that doesn’t mean the idea can’t work. I never said anything about impacting gen progression, just regression. The skill checks can reverse the regression effect by 10% each time they get a great skill check.

    and trust me you don’t have to tell me what I did and didn’t put in my post. Trust me I know already.  

    If regression wont be faster they could always just cause 5% instantaneous regression upon damage that doesn’t stack. 

    I'm not trying to be condescending at all, merely pointing out what you said and didn't say. Now as far as impacting gen progression that does in a sense impact it. The great skill check idea is an interesting twist on your original idea.

    The issue with getting huge regression is once again high mobility killers will just spam going back and forth and killer that're doing well Hag. Will simply get dropped back into the scrap heap along with Freddy since they've got no mobility to contend with.

    As someone else pointed out there's already 2 perks that hinder gen progression on top of the normal damage gen move. If you add even more gen regression you'll make it so it turns into a 3 gen standoff type thing but with 5 gens.

    As long as I’m not waiting a freaking month after PC release. I’m good.

    Most of the community is fine with waiting to make sure everyone gets it at the same time. The only ones with issues are the trolls starting flame bait threads, conspiracies, and those that're impatient.

    No we aren't. It's stupid to force anyone to wait longer than they have to for the update. PC should't be forced to wait an extra week or two just because consoles take a while to allow the updates. What they should do is make sure that consoles get the update in as little amount of time as possible.

    As a pc user I have no problem waiting for it to be done when it's ready. If I've got to wait an extra day r 2 or w/e for it to be ready for all platforms then so be it. It's not the end of the world, it's not BHVRs fault they're trying to be fair.

    If you and the rest are so worried about how long it's taking then go buy a pc for all the console users and give BHVR the receipts so they can release it now.

    It's normally a week or two minimum for console updates to get approved. So that would mean purposely delaying the patch on pc for potentially two extra weeks for no other reason than dropping the updates at the same time. There's a reason you rarely see companies release things on pc and consoles at the same time.

    While true they may have already gotten most of the things set for console certification before the end of ptb. Since this time they don't have to deal with the store issues anymore and it's more of a straightforward patch. So it may still come out this week or go into next week which is why they don't have an eta since they've might've also ran into trouble.

    Sitting in a match for two extra minutes because a survivor wants that juicy 800 points is just ridiculous. It should stay the way it is.

    I don't have an issue with the instant death per se but not getting any struggle points sucks. It should be awarded based upon their contributions to the match progress. They get a base amount say 200 then get upwards of 1k struggle points depending on contributions.

    True, increasing gen time wouldn't achieve much, that's why many ask for added objectives: to distract survivors from gens. Because the best way to slow dow gen progression is to not have survivors working on them.

    i dont think secondary objectives will achieve this ethier, totems are secondary and their largely ignored

    Yes because most don't consider them important. The point is to give an objective that could rival to gens.

    Some like me consider totems very important, Ruin, Noed you know the killer probably has it by the way they play. If they run just far enough away from the hook they're probably using MYC or DH or just hook farming. I'll go after it to deprive the killer of something that can and will be highly detrimental if left untouched.

    I also go for them because it's objective points and a good way to also occasionally distract the killer. They see a broken totem but don't know when it was done and sometimes they'll scout around it wasting time.

  • The only reason you'd run No Mither is if you're doing a 4 man No Mither squad with perks to make it work or going for the adept achievement. I've yet to level him up since I know I'm going to have to do that stupid one someday. I won't do it until rank reset 2 resets away.

    They still dare to troll peoples, knowing their history ?

    [BAD WORD] them, sincerely.

    And [BAD WORD] the review bombers, community of entitled brats.

    They could have simply said: "Not today". This would have been better than the "soon" on several threads.

    Just checked the review bombers. 22 sooo not really a huge impact.

    The issue is that if they said not today you'd still have these same whine fest threads and post spamming the forums. Now if people would actually think logically here and remember what I said in one of the 1st flame threads.

    That it most likely wouldn't be the 11th but would instead be the 13th Thursday or the 14th Friday. Since Thursday the 13th is RANK RESET DAY. So what better day to release the killer than to do it on rank reset day or the day after. Since Friday night is basically when Sony does it's software updates.
