The PTB is useless and bhvr never listens

@Mc_Harty said:
They're "trying" to appeal to new survivors and new killers.
- New survivors because they can't handle current ruin at all, making it easy to wreck them as a killer.
- New killers because they no longer have to pray to RNG gods for Ruin to show up in their blood web just so they can function properly (Seriously, it took me over 100 levels on Ghostface to get Ruin 1). Now that's garbage, no one is going to depend on it.
But they're failing miserably. These devs clearly missed why Ruin was used 80% of the time and it weren't because of the ######### emblems. I rarely ran it but understood why others would.
Casual appeal isn't bad per say however most games have casual and ranked modes. DBD is so dated that I think ranked would be useless. If the game had a skill cap rank would mean something but it doesn't so rank means nothing.

That makes sense. The reason they won't properly balance it is because they can't. Bunch of journeyman programmers that stumbled onto a good idea, but their own inexperience will cause it to fail.
Like their cosmetics are where most of their income is from not from chapters. They want new players to Impulse buy their overpriced cosmetics. But yes none of the devs know what they are doing DBD is on the rails the chapters keep it alive but its not grown in its player base in a long,long time.
-
Its their cash cow they won't sell it its the only sorta successful game they have ever had. They are gonna milk the community until it dies.

I don't think people understand how bad the culmination of these changes are going to impact the player base. This game is going to die if they continue down this road. Watch. It's easy to see.
This I think people gotta understand it just won't be the ruin change it will this and bugs upon bugs they aren't fixing. Its compounding everything is what is gonna become too much for the game to take. This will drive away more killers and survivor ques will be ages.
-
Tru3 said this is the year they can either plug the hole in the sinking ship or it will be the RMS DBD. Gamers are starting to have more options in the genre now LY,Resident evil and predator hunting grounds. The gaming market works this way if some devs screws up then usually another game with better devs will pick up the slack.
-
I left a long time ago I miss huntress but its clear she will nerfed once the devs find a reason.
-
@Justavoice said:
I don't really think that change will matter, Killers are gonna start leaving in droves soon anyways so why bother?
Which will cause extremely long survivor ques therefor killing the game
-
Its already dying the player base hasn't grow at all its stagnant they are milking he player base until it dies.
-
@jebbush said:
They might have to after this update because no one's going to play killer.
Why would you play killer after these and other changes and no one plays the PTB so it will go through in some form.
-
I mean they have driven a lot of killer players away already why not put the last nail in the coffin.
-
Hey I call a spade a spade I'm not gonna sugarcoat the fact bhvr and the DBD in particular aren't good devs. They lucked out because of the niche genre not their games quality and their insulting idea of movie and show based killers.
-
@Heartbound said:
This game is becoming the World of Warcraft of horror games.
I am pleased but we better start getting more story and lore. You opened this book you gotta keep flipping pages rawr.
No is no where near WoW's level of popularity its very niche which has been its blessing so far. But its going up against predator next year and some other games are coming out with tons of money behind them. Bhvr lucked out out not because of game quality but because of how niche the genre is.
-
Only DBD can kill DBD

Last Year dev did etc etc etc etc....
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/745/YRSHLN912GFN.png
Yep. They better take notes.
Of course it will have more players you can't really compare them as one has been out four years. so it will have a much,much bigger playerbase however I think LY is better in quality then DBD in a lot of ways.
-
LY devs did a spider :O a big man eating spider
-
You can't balance anything based on this
-
Well Oni's flick wasn't "intended"
-
@DBDfan12 said:
yes. and also maybe they can put some effort in a make a SCARY killer. not some fat cringe
That would require making the game scary currently its a party game in a horror game skin

@WolfPad06 said:
I wish they had the integrity to do so, but unfortunately their numbers and the precedent they've set simply don't allow for that sort of QOL decision to be made.
I believe in the AMA someone asked for this exact thing and a CM stated they are not planning to stop the quarterly DLC updates, but instead will cut down on (free) events to focus on the health of the game.
Which, as you can easily guess, is complete BS.
The true reason they will cut down on events is because:
a) They are free for the users, so while costing resources they do not provide any source of revenue.
b) They need the time to focus on their OTHER paywall content, the Rift.
I've burnt out of this game, tho it can be fun if you just don't take it too seriously and play with friends every now and then.
The entire game is built upon a foundation of toothpicks, and no matter how many DLCs and Battlepasses they release, eventually the sheer lack of quality throughout the game will be its demise. Look no further than PUBG for an example of this; some company with more resources will tap into the asymmetrical horror goldmine, do it properly and just completely blow DBD out of the water.
They are complacent because of how niche their genre is but the issue is yeah some other game will do it better. I consider it a fairly tame horror game even with mori's its very tame if a dev comes along and does it far better then yes DBD will basically bleed out.

New base game stuff can be as exciting as new killers maps and perks
But their quality is questionable or they are nerfed because its "not intended" whatever that means

Why do you think players leave? DLC is duct tape over a leak while base game fix stops the leak for good. The difference is DLC gives money.
I agree it adds stuff but they aren't fixing anything meaningful
-
If they don't release new content the game loses a large amount of players DLC keeps it alive not growing but alive
-
Oni is more ruined on console because these ill thought out nerfs but screw console players huh bhvr?
-
The idea the flick was unintentional is one of the most absurd things i've ever heard lol

What do you mean? I'm intrigued.
Basically as survivor you just do one thing and run in circles basically and killer you are basically a race car with a weapon. The only reason DBD has done as good as it has is not because of quality it really lacks that but because it lucked out on a new niche genre.
-
@Waffleyumboy said:
Fun might have a small impact on what the devs need to tweak because what should be 4/5 of the playerbase spend almost the entire game sitting there doing nothing be it on gen or hook or ground. Then again why should survivors get more attention to fun I'm tired of exploring all the perk and ability combinations of killers it's just so uninteresting I would rather sit on gens for 2.5 mins per game 🙄
This games like fatal flaw is that its loop is pretty bad
-
Bhvr was krampus and stole it
-
They should just have the killer on rails if this is how its gonna be.
-
This won't happen they are barely competent enough to manage games based on "fun"

@Polychrome_Baku said:
I want my money back.
I already got a refund on him which is sad he was very fun however bhvrs idea of skill level is pathetic it seems.
-
bhvr its 2019 stop being stuck in 2009 :O
-
Seeing as the devs can barely "balance" 1v4 a 2v8 would be a dumpster fire lol
-
Yikes!
-
Haddonfun unsurprisingly among the safest maps
-
I think he is insanely strong but I have no idea how to change him without ruining him or what makes him good and fun.
-
xD I hope they don't lol
-
He has a high skill cap which is nice

@CrowFoxy said:
Lol the game came out in 2016 but, yes I do agree. (And I'm sure you knew that already)
Still man 2016 is very recent really no excuse for not moving beyond this easy as can get objective even with ruin.
-
The Oni smashes things really good and gets really angry and smashes things more...
-
Well bhvr's nerf and buff choices never make sense too me so lol all they say is "fun"
-
@fcc2014 said:
@Squoose while it sucks you put out so much money for a code for an exclusive cosmetic you bought that from a Third party not BHVR. BHVR is doing this in part because of the predatory practice of selling "exclusives" to players. You did have it before others and you have that satisfaction. Hopefully you will learn from this experience and not sink that much money in a game that didn't cost 20 times that.
I think thats the issue with his some players worked hard for these event cosmetics now they aren't special anymore. DBD is over a $60 game and over $100 if you throw in their cosmetic costs
-
I mean yeah she wasn't destroyed I still see her being a issue for survivors so that won't change. Prayer beads will still be useful though sounding like you are everywhere will still really annoy survivors so that won't change.
-
I think she will still be a pain for survivors and that prayer beads change could be really funny. They can't tell where she is again because it sounds like she is everywhere.
-
Or use perks that counter her that perk that hides scratch marks for instance.
-
Majority of survivors can't even do gens...so yes I'm sure they would have a hard time with spirit...because they suck at DBD in general.

You'll see 2x more complaining and critiquing her than you will defending her. She's a big problem for a large majority of the playerbase.
Majority of the player base can't win against clown much less Spirit lol

someone's salty nurse got changed
Nurses add on's needed changing not her base kit....
-
That was a good rework the nurse is more of a miss in that department.
-
I think its more the changes they come up with like nurse are ill thought out and turn out to be bad
