@Jocelynbee I can't seem to find the info about the time for this. Is it normal for AMA in reddit threads to not include the time they start? Can we at least get an approximate time of the starting time, and how long they have planned to do it for? Is there way for the moderators/community managers to collect questions beforehand so that those who cannot participate in the 'Ask Us Anything0 comments 41 views last activity

Given BHVR's renewed vigor for providing stats, please list three statistical data you would like BHVR to present to the foru m! (Please no sarcasm or pessimism!) 1. Soloque-SWF related: a.) Pre/Post HUD escape-rate differences at low, med, high, and averaged MMR.

Since we've just been introduced to this new self-unhooking mechanic to discourage face camping, may I suggest few more ideas to add? 1. Since ten seconds were added to to the repair time per generator from 80 to 90 seconds last year, this had given killer players additional ten seconds of leeway to camp as the hook-timer decreased at the same rate as before for the camped player.

Is there any current plan to update the perk list's organization? According to the wiki, there are 219 perks as of this moment, all placed in alphabetical order (in English speaking countries). The problem is, it is difficult for casual players like me to remember what all the perks are named, forcing me to look for them page by page.

Just wondering whether the new Team-Based Ratings have been tested or will be tested for its accuracy? It is my understanding that for most types of MMRs (ELO, Glicko, TrueSkill), when you add in secondary factors unrelated to the win condition of a game, it becomes less accurate over time. (Accuracy in this context means the ability for the game to predict the matches' outcome.) The only advanta12 comments 281 views last activity

"Matchmaking incentives are unique to you and dependent on your matchmaking ratings and region." Given that SBMM ratings are separate for each Killer, how will this be displayed in the UI? For example, let's say I have 900 on Nurse, 1200 on Legion, and 1600 on Spirit - and the game indicates that the survivors in the region desperately requires killers in the 1200 range right now, thoug2 comments 41 views last activity

So it looks like Sadako's ultra rare skin's "weapon" changed from the default "呪" "Noroi" (Curse) to "恨み" "Urami" (Grudge or Resentment). There are usually two ways to write "Urami", both meaning practically the same. 恨み and 怨み. I didn't know the difference, but something felt off about 恨み, so I looked it up. Apparently, 恨み is often used in more normal, day-to-day circumstances, where someone0 comments 91 views last activity

First and foremost, I think that SBMM will be good for the game, but it has to be able to appropriately gauge one's skill - so far, I think it still has a way to go in that regard. (I actually feel like the 2nd SBMM trial was the closest to good matchmaking in my experience.) I play survivor side, maybe 80%-90% of the time. All of them solo queue. Ranking-wise, I usually float around Rank 3-5.0 comments 31 views last activity

During a chase, as Leatherface was revving (charging) his chainsaw over his head, there was no sound coming from the chainsaw. (No chainsaw start-up sound.) The only thing I can hear was the chase music. Once he started swinging his chainsaw, the sound was back normally. This only happened once.

Ok, let's completely ignore the previous 'Ranking' system for a second. Supposedly, "MMR has already been running in the background" (Almo) and "MMR has been tracking behind the scenes for a while."

When players' MMR score settles (giving a month or so), will there be enough killers with high enough MMR scores to give a good match for survivors with high MMR scores? Or will killers with mediocre MMR scores have to step in as substitutes, basically forced into the role of being the good survivors' entertainment to make up for the lack of good killers?

If the Emblem system attempted to address the 'Rank/Skill' correlation and failed, why would the MMR system do any better in addressing this newly formed 'Ratings/Skill' correlation? If the Emblem system couldn't figure out exactly what type of requirements/conditions define 'skill' in DBD (rather than the amount of time played), why would this new MMR system be able to define 'skill' in DBD1 comments 41 views last activity

As a solo player, there are few reasons why I stay on the generator rather than running to save someone on the hook. The first reason is the distance from where I am to the hook. If I feel that I'm pretty far away, then I hope that someone else is a little closer than I am, and close enough where they feel obligated to go save that person. The second reason is the possibility of the killer kicki9 comments 271 views last activity

Or at least, they're not what some of us believed they represented. What I personally had hoped for was a graph that demonstrated the skill ceiling on both sides - where the most skilled players are going up against other most skilled players, so that the point of balance can be more easily identified.

Recently when there was a request for Survivor and Killer data sets, @Peanits replied: I'd love to see something like that in the future and make it a regular thing. We would need to figure out what type of data you guys want to see, though. If we do it regularly, we couldn't give a ton of different stats each time (that would take way too much of the data team's time). It'd also be nice t4 comments 72 views last activity

Under the Developer Update for November, not_Queen has provided us with the reasons behind why certain types of cosmetics continue to remain exclusive.

There are several misunderstandings of game balance that often gets repeated in the forums, and I would like to address some of them. 1. "That developers need to play against Rank 1 players to gain perspectives on balance." This is plainly false. Developers' personal experiences in their actual gameplay reveal absolutely nothing about the balance of the game - it's as informative as Rank 20s g22 comments 202 views last activity

Most of the games I've played today consisted of one disconnect. And none of them seemed like the usual reasons why people usually disconnect. They weren't being chased, they weren't being hooked or slugged, and we weren't even in a bad position in the game. But they just... disconnected.

First of all, thank you so much for fixing the SWF matchmaking to search for the highest ranked survivor. Given how even relatively low ranked survivors can easily become formidable opponents with constant sharing of information by higher leveled survivors, I believe it is a good change overall that will mitigate the gap between SWF and Solo experience, at least to some degree.

What specific changes were made in the Forum rules from the previous version? I looked over it, and didn't see much of a difference, but my memory isn't what it used to be. Also, can you define what exactly constitutes, "encourage negative behavior"? Is this referring to in- game behavior, like hitting a survivor on hook or "tea-bagging", or perhaps disconnecting from the game? Or in-forum to5 comments 101 views last activity

The last two games I played yesterday were both against Rank 19 killers. (I'm currently at Rank 10.) Those games did not end well for them. I watched one of them, The Pig, stare at a half way done generator for about 5-10 seconds before finally figuring out how to kick it.

I think that as the number of killers increase, it is becoming more difficult to entice newcomers to try the game, and more importantly, to stick with the game, if they don't know what they are doing (as killers) or what they are facing (as the survivors).
