Any update on Fixing that Broken game?

Any news on when they intent on fixing that broken ass game? Fing tired of the matchmaking killer 11 againts 4-4-4-4. I want to play killer but its just not possible at the moment and im not the only one because if you play killer you get a lobby in half a second after you press ready, if you are a survivor it take up to 5-10min. There is definatelly lots of ppl not playing killer anymore, that game is just fkin dying... they need to fix it now.... it was not like that a week or 2 ago... they tried to fix the MM but i think they screw it up really bad.

Its just really not going good for this end. i Unfortunately join this community a little too late i guess... will try to play until it last but from what im looking now... we wont reach the summer lol

    @Asegbloodtears

    The Rank reset was changed a few weeks ago, where if you're in Red Rank, you'll be reset back to the previous rank before it (Purple Rank for Red).

    So it would go Red to Purple, Purple to Green, Green to Yellow, and Yellow to Grey. So the Match-Making might provide some Survivors that're still in Red Ranks, since they only de-ranked back one rank.

    But, besides that, the common Rank 10 against Red Ranks or the "Rainbow Rank issue" is still a thing at the moment, so you'll just have to be patient on a fix for it. The new ranking system that's scheduled with the next Chapter will be coming up soon, so perhaps there will be a fix with the match-making as well.

    No promises though, I have no idea either. I just know that the road-map is scheduled to rework the ranking system when Chapter 15 is being worked on...

    Ya i saw one of your post with the picutre of the road map, thanks for that. But the matchmaking for killer is totaly broke at the moment from green rank an under, i make a lots of test and send the report using DBD Help Center, They reply saying this:

    We are very sorry for the inconvenience of your recent matchmaking experience. We are currently looking into internal changes to our lobby system to resolve this issue in the future. The information you've provided has been logged and is being reviewed by our developers to ensure an improvement to our players' matchmaking experience.


    Thank you again for your patience and understanding while we work to improve our players' experiences in the fog.


    They know its an issue and they working on it, because 13 and above the match making for me is super fair, as soon as i hit 12 its crazy, i goes from 13 againts 10-15-12-14, i hit 12 and i got 8-8-8-8, as long as i am in green i have purple and red and if i move back to yellow im back to normal matchmaking.

    I wouldn't publicly announce that you're deranking in a post, especially on the forums.

    I would advice against it period, since it just ruins the matchmaking even more, at least in my opinion.

    This is what the issue boils down to...

    You have to wait until it's resolved, and that's about it. They can't fix the issue like that snap and than everything is alright... there could be more to it than that, we don't know at all.

    You just need to be patient and tough out... that's the best thing I can tell you. Once the rank rework comes in, i'm sure these issues will be resolved a long with it. Since the match-making issue does tie in with the current ranking system...

    I don't really care at this point, ban me if you want you will have ban someone for trying to get out of the bug, glitch or whatever you have crated yourself... im just gonna move on to another game lol They lose more then i do.

    Im not just doing this, im messing in the game but whatever, game is broken, before that it was another thing and before the last issue it was another one.... seems like there is always an issue with that game. LIke we don't have a full month without a problem.. looks to me that the test server is doing nothing if they release theses issues.

    BTW i only did it once so far so... if a compagny want to kick me out for that when there is ######### 12,000,000,000 DC in a day go for it lol

    for a 4 years old game i was expecting a bit more control, and im sure there are players that agree with me.

    The matchmaking does suck at the moment, but as they mentioned they are implementing a temporary solution for the next week or two to tide everyone over during the holidays, and will be looking into more permanent solutions when they get back next year.

    There is also currently a bug with matchmaking in which the system sometimes receives incorrect rank information from a killer, causing them to be matched with survivors far outside their rank, so that could be what you're having issues with. The devs are aware of this, and will be looking into fixing it after the holidays.

    That s the info i was looking for... fk the holiiday fix the game lol no im kidding, but its such a bad timming as most of the players will have free time to play at that moment.

    Hope they fix it soon, also i dont know what happen my last post was delete from me by mistake

    Yeah, it's a pity that the players' time off is also the devs' time off, but obviously they need a break too.

    Incidentally, that information was all from last week's live Q&A. If you're interested in reading more about what information was shared, in relation to both recent game changes and future plans, during the livestream, you can refer to the summary post I made on it here: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/114042/i-watched-the-dev-stream-so-you-dont-have-to-again/p1

    Nah mate, pumping out more overpriced cosmetics is more important.

    Edit: Yes, I am aware that cosmetics and bugfixes are handled by different people. I am just saying that the cosmetics team seems to be seriously overstaffed, while the bugfixing team is severely understaffed. I personally would prefer it the other way.

    haha i was thinking the same thing, but... i know that ######### was rdy by another team or from long time ago rdy for christmas.... but yeah looks like that

    They don't work around the clock you know, everyone has a holiday break too you know...

    I hope they fix it as well, for your sake. Personally, it doesn't bother me since I already play with Red Ranks on the daily... but for you, I can see why it's an issue.

    With the Rank Rework coming, i'm sure the match-making will also be changed to reflect the new ranking system.

  • ABannedCat

    I am aware of that. No one works around the clock. I am just saying that right now the cosmetics team appears to get the bigger cake of the budget, than the bug fixing team does. This is clearly visible by the speed of how fast they get stuff done.

    So right now, Behaviour prioritises cosmetics over bugfixing.

    But how do you know that for sure? A bug that's hidden within years of code is harder to find than making cosmetics for the store. One is hidden under code, the other has no restrictions for production.

    At least to me it is, so that's probably why it takes a bit longer to fix these issues.

    I don't know it for sure. I am just saying that the bug fixing team is clearly severaly underbudgeted right now. So Behaviour should hire more programmers to get stuff done.

  • Asegbloodtears
    Asegbloodtears Member Posts: 74

    Btw their fixed are to put 2 lower rank with 2 higher rank together so you have a kind of balance between the two... i admin something its working but on ######### ps4 its exploitable so bad as i have myself 4 account that i could play, my friends wants to play on their main... ok i will jump unto the low rank one.... basically it does not fix much because i look at the name that fing loop me like a red rank and when i get out of the game, most of the itmes its the rank 20 lol

  • Asegbloodtears
    Asegbloodtears Member Posts: 74

    At the speed they fixed the bugs since i join this game... i totaly agree with that

    The team isn't that big in-general, as some people believe.

    It's understandable that things like these are not caught right out the door of release, so that's why I don't have an issue with it personally.

    I'm sure that things will work out eventually, with the teams size and the issues that come from the bugs. Patients is key, this isn't a triple AAA game from a big company after all.

    I still pay money for any DLC they get out and paid for the game...

  • FireHazard
    FireHazard Member Posts: 7,314

    I buy the DLC usually the first day, I don't really mind what bugs come from it personally.

    They've never really had a massive impact on me, so that's kind of why I never really paid mind to it.

    Mostly because you are level 50 and presti\ge 3 on every survivor and every killers, so any issue does not affect you... you have to think of when you were grinding the game... its impossible for me to grind killer right now, i would love to get my Spirit from 15 up to 40 but with 10k a game because i got 4-4-4-4 againts a 12 its just not possible

    If I was P3-50 on all my Killers/Survivors, I'd have nothing left to do HA HA!

    No, I still grind, and no, I don't have all my Killers/Survivors at level 50 and or P3-50. The Killers that're not P3-50 are level 50 yes, but that's just to get them ready for P3-50... they still need to be grinded out to P3-50.

    I only have one Survivor that's P3-50, and that's Claudette. I don't even have any other Survivor at Level 50, mainly because I don't main Survivor despite playing both sides (mainly as Claudette for Survivor...)

    Some Survivors are close to level 50, but that's to just unlock their teachables... nobody else is level 50 in my Survivor list.

    anyways...

    I still grind my Killers out, I currently only have 13 of the 18 Killers at P3-50, and only 3-4 are max perks.

    My next P3-50 (Trapper) is only at P2 at the moment. Regardless, I still have to finish him up, than I have to max out all my Killers to keep the longevity of the grind going (its so I don't run out of things to do in-game and get bored) and than I can move onto Survivors if I so choose... or maybe cut it early and do some Survivors.

    Either way, I don't even have all my teachables unlocked for Survivor... just the teachables I normally use and that's it (for Claudette). All my Killer teachables ARE unlocked, but to say I have everything Prestige 3 or saying level 50 is "done" is an understatement of the century for me ha ha ha!

    I purposely avoid having all my Killers be P3-50 and Survivors as well, mainly because I want to have a goal still... this is why after Trapper is done, i'll be maxing out all my P3-50 Killers BEFORE moving onto another Killer to P3-50.

    Which might I add, is a grind in itself for one P3-50... let alone maxing EVERY KILLER TO MAX PERKS!

    But back to the point

    It doesn't affect me because I face Red Ranks all the time as a Killer, so this isn't any different if I was a Green Rank facing Red Ranks... it would be as if I was just in Red Ranks.

    But because of the new rank reset, I face them all the time now. So... yeah... it doesn't affect me. But that's also why I said "I can see why it has an affect on you." Mainly because YOU don't face Red Ranks all the time as me, so I can see why this is a problem for you during average play-times.

    The bottom line is, we'll see what the Rank Rework has in-store for DBD, and when the Rank Rework comes, so too will the match-making be changed... it's just common sense.
