I'm sure I'm off on the exact month by month breakdown, but here goes. 18 months ago - We've heard you, anti-tunnel is coming! 15 months ago - We're going to need some more time on that anti-tunnel, but its coming! 12 months ago - Here's the anti-tunnel PTB. It's anti-tunnel everything. Even more types of tunneling than we can remember with FOUR substantially game changing punishments/ways to31 comments 771 views last activity

Just to express my concerns to either get ahead of the curve or make myself look like a fool later. I’m not going to pretend that I was looking forward to the updates for MMR with how BHVR discussed it. I think there are three reasonable paths forward for an MMR system - go back to emblems, keep as is, or switch survivors so that they gain/lose MMR based on the total result of the group (each22 comments 630 views last activity

With an MMR rework on the horizon, there’s been a lot of talk about what way it should go. But there’s been one big issue that I don’t think has been. BHVR has said, repeatedly I believe, that MMR is working. How does an organization fix a system that they say is working? This isn’t a subjective game design issue. It’s not like when they say they’re emphasizing chases over stealth in resp5 comments 200 views last activity

There's been a lot of discussion over the past day about the all important exit survey. There seems to be substantial concern that killers aren't getting the same opportunity that survivors are. I'm going to change my tune. I think it is very important that we treat killers and survivors the same on this.

So BHVR did a stat release, but they did it on the Japanese forum/twitter. Here is the info for those interested. I saw this post from @まうっす and went looking for the source . Once upon a time I could get by in Japanese, those days are long past, but I decided to do my best with translation services and post the results.

Like a lot of people I'm not surprised things are getting delayed, but, like a lot of what has happened this summer, this feels like such an unforced error on BHVR's part that leaves everyone angry. Of course the patch was going to be met with massive backlash, so will withdrawing it. Any large scale change will get that sort of reaction. That could have been anticipated and it could have been s1 comments 81 views last activity

So as we all argue over how the next patch will destroy DbD for ever and ever, one of the big things is we don't have any numbers. This most likely intentional on BHVR's part to stir interest over the weekend. Now we could do the reasonable thing and all calm down and wait just a couple of days for the actual numbers. But that's boring. Let's all lean into the pandemonium. Cards on the table ti6 comments 61 views last activity

Lots of talk about the survivors getting handheld with the recent release notes, but it far more looks like the killer's handholding is being removed Nothing is certain until we see the numbers, and like a lot of recent BHVR changes they went big instead of trying more simple solutions first, but let's look at a few things Getting a survivor out and creating a 3v1 will still be to the killer's36 comments 871 views last activity

Things have not been great for BHVR on the PR front recently, however, they do seem like they want to change that. So I took a bit of time and did my best to come up with my recommendations on things they can improve. This is not a "balance X" or "killer/survivors are overpowered, must nerf" post. This is about the communication and public relations. Right about now I imagine many people are hi2 comments 101 views last activity

The Quest System seems kind of themeless. There's no feeling, no soul, it doesn't seem to connect with DbD in anyway. I feel like there is short term gain and long term loss. Four issues: 1: Dailies - DbD monetization has always kind of existed on FOMO, but this might push it too far. I feel like lots of players (though that might be because I'm in the group), do dives into DbD where we play it0 comments 11 views last activity

Like a lot of people I'm cautiously optimistic about the announced changes, but I'm concerned about BHVR's tendency to try and reinvent the wheel so to speak. They try complex solutions for what seem to be a straightforward goal. Take the basekit mori example. BHVR had a goal (we'll leave the merits of that aside for the moment), and we started with a radical game overhaul, a year where the idea46 comments 981 views last activity

I know, bot discussion and complaining about Legion are much more fun, but how do people feel about the herbs? Because I kind of hate them as a game addition. The original idea seemed like a new survivor mechanic, but it doesn't really seem to work out.

This might be a vocal minority post, but I wanted to look at the 2v8 issue, killer queues, and how BHVR's solution might just be counterproductive (and not just in the 'survivors won't want to play with bots', which is true, but only part of the problem).

An observation: everyone in the community seems to be referring to Lights Out and other ideas as 'Game Mode' but BHVR seems really intent and avoiding that phrase and instead using 'Modifier'. To me I think it signals what they are going for. They aren't looking for new game styles, but modifying the existing game. That might not sound like much of a difference, but I think it indicates that the2 comments 112 views last activity

Something I've always wondered about the way PTBs work, and the latest one brought it to mind, is why is it that BHVR does a PTB and then sometimes (usually) makes massive changes without a second PTB? This isn't a criticism of their balance decisions per se, the whole point of the PTB is that even if something looks good on paper, it might end up being a failure. I'll even defend BHVR on that t7 comments 201 views last activity

Sure its an us vs them style headline, but despite the posts we're seeing on the forum the new patch is a buff to killers. Let's start with the basics, every killer has just gained increased gen regression. Double the regression from a kick and survivors can no longer tap gens to stop regression. So that is every killer. If you weren't 3 genning you just got a buff. The anti 3 gen feature is an6 comments 281 views last activity

I've done reviews at 30 , 100 , 200 , and 350 hours, now hitting 500. This is nothing more than my personal thoughts about the game. Unchanged Thoughts A lot of my thinking about the game has remained the same. There are certain design elements that I strongly dislike: add-ons feel like a difficulty slider, what the goal of the game is being left up to the players feels like a bad design,0 comments 101 views last activity

I imagine given all of the time the game has been around someone has suggested what I'm about to, but I thought I'd give it a go anyway. There are 2 obvious issues with perk balance - there are so many perks it's really hard to imagine them all being remotely equal and that if an overpowered perk on either side is nerfed it has major repercussions on the game balance. So, what if the way perks w3 comments 51 views last activity

At 100 hours, when I was very much a survivor main, Gamedozer7 recommended: Do you have any of the newer killers because most of the older ones are pretty simple but they have little tricks that you would never think of but most of the new killers have more to there power. After 200 hours my play for the game flagged quite a bit. Then during Christmas Steam sale I figured that being they w17 comments 302 views last activity

So I was finally playing during a time where killers got a BP bonus, didn't care about the blood just a chance to play killer without a long que. However having an evening of playing killer did remind me why I generally don't play it. Most people complain about the balance/other player behavior, these are more game design elements. - Hitboxes - I'm surprised I don't see this complaint more, may2 comments 151 views last activity

The first time I saw the bloodweb I thought it was a neat concept. Then when I saw that the Entity would start to devour nodes I planned out what I was going to do. It was really exciting. That feeling lasted maybe an hour. I just spent 800k bloodpoints of mindless clicking. I have no concern what the entity takes. Not only am I going to be rolling in items anyway, most of them are irrelevant.0 comments 11 views last activity

Okay, instead of just posting in other people's threads, let me try my own. Maybe there is some issue that I'm missing about the idea of survivors being able to get back up after 45 seconds, but it sounds like a great change. Let's cover fun, theme, strategy, and testing. 1: Fun - Laying on the ground is boring.

I posted my thoughts at 30 hours ( https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/342870/noob-thoughts-the-balance-is-a-joke-right/p1 ) and figured I would do something similar for having hit a 100.

So every now and then I would see post on here complaining about flashlights. And I always thought 'those things that almost never work? how are you getting hit by them' Well I just played my first game against a player running a purple flashlight with an odd bulb and high end sapphire lens. Suddenly we're in a different game. I can't even pick up a survivor if this player is anywhere near me. C7 comments 251 views last activity

So I picked up DBD about a month ago. Played constantly for a week, then occasionally for the next two, then took a few days off and figured I would come back for some daily challenged. My first game back was amazing: Played a Huntress who was good, but not great (could hit hatchet throws, but not a guarantee, she had a strategy, but so did we). It was a decent game, but by the time we got down1 comments 61 views last activity

So I'm 30 hours into DbD and I thought I'd join what seems to be the true game: long rants about DbD. So before I started playing I noticed lots of complaining between 'survivor mains' and 'killer mains' about the need to try the other side. So I thought as a new player I would give each side a go with no starting bias about who had the advantage. I first played a series of games that I55 comments 2,081 views last activity
