Title - are they friggin wizards?

There's a post about the new dlc being released on 10th on the website Gamerant, yet, devs were just "allowed" to confirm that it would not come out "tomorrow".

    Even if the leak is indeed correct, the developers can't say so.


    However, Peanits recently got the okay to say it's not coming out this week:

    Not quite? Like, we get it, you're salty, but when both sides were saying he was bad then maybe they'll actually buff him? Like, mate, your bias is showing pretty hard.

    Edit: quoting is hard.

    I am not a survivor main or killer main. I play the game on both sides. I guess you just like being able to kill and collect the most points. Entitled much? I was just simply asking if you were a killer main. I love the new killer and because unlike you I play ALL ASPECTS of the game look forward to both killer AND survivor. Oh the map also looks pretty fun as well. Keep it up though with the bullying and name calling that really opens people up to have a friendly discussion. =)

    You also want to talk about Entitlement, someone else pointed this out about how good killers have it. I am sure you won't read it but I will post it anyway.

    "I posted this elsewhere, but you should read it.

    Since PC release, killer has been buffed, survivor nerfed. This is important to understand and through examples you’ll see why that has happened. It shows you why the game has had the trajectory it has and why we are now in our current quagmire.

    It all started with the introduction of swf and the 2 escapes, 2 kills devs unit of metric. You don’t have to like the metric but it’s whats given the survivors all their nerfs and all the killers current buffs.

    The devs failed to understand that people would want to play with friends in an online game at release (serious), what we got was ‘lobby wars’. Where survivors would join different lobbies looking for their friends and leave if they couldn’t find them. It was horrible trying to find games. Hence why we got swf, that completely unbalanced the game by creating coordinated survivors that could communicate. The devs have been nerfing survivor ever since and completely crippled solo survivor play.

    Killers now are up around 70% kills due to the trajectory of the game and the devs metric system, unless you feel their metric system is bad, in which case they can undo all the changes I've just mentioned....

    It also important to mention marketing and advertising. There’s nothing special about survivors, they are just reskins with some new perks that all play the same. THATS IT. EACH killer has its own unique play style and as you see from their advertising, its always new killers they promote. Survivors get a mention, but its never really the selling point. 

    DBD reddit, back in the day was all about poking fun at survivors and giving you the impression that every second game is SWF and heavily biased against killers. Which was a lie. OP SWF games are maybe one in 30 games with most swf games being friends who are just wanting to have fun and usually end up wiping. But there was no push back, the killer echo room there would down vote anything survivor sided.

    That coupled with the points I mentioned previously meant that a lot of survivor mains left the game. Which is kind of obvious, I mean you understand the devs unit of metric sure, but you just watch nerf, after nerf, after nerf as it all gets taken away. Why would you stay for that? Its kind of miserable.

    What has this created? In short. Entitlement. Killer mains know if they whine, they get what they want. 

    THIS is the environment the devs have created and what you see on the forums.

    You have no perspective, and are part of the group think mentality. I understand why it is that you think your right, but as I explained, you're not."

    Once again this was posted by someone else but it is a valid point to who has more entitlement. Once again as well I play both sides unlike I guess you so I am not entitled or biased but just point out smart points like this one this person posted.

    Wow, quite a mouthful, and I want my wasted time reading it back. How about providing proof of what you claim, because I am going to gesture you towards the patch notes threads: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/categories/pc . That disproves all the bs - whoever you took that from - spewed.

    The dev's never, and I repeat "NEVER" balanced this game for SWF. They refuse to, and they will not, because they expect the game to be played as a 1v1 scenario with survivors prioritizing survival over actually being a team. However to survive they need to help the other survivors out to have a chance against this bigger entity. Which they repeat over and over again. The only reason they don't ban comms is because it's pratically untraceable, and the majority of claims would be purely by word of mouth.

    Honestly it's agravating when I see people copy/paste what other people spew on the forums, without keeping up to date with updates, or looking into the actual past updates. Also not to mention the past doesn't even matter. What matters is the now. Game balance isn't based around give and take, it's based around give or take to make both sides of a spectrum on an equal playing field.

    I will say and say again I never once said the Devs have balanced the game for SWF like you stated in the first sentence of your second paragraph. I instead was pointing out how thanks to SWF and the killers that complained about them that survivors got nerf after nerf for sometime which in the long term hurt us solo survivors. It made us people who play the game the way it was built weaker and the killers stronger. It did not make the game balanced around SWF it just made it tougher for people who do not use mics.

    "Hence why we got swf, that completely unbalanced the game by creating coordinated survivors that could communicate. The devs have been nerfing survivor ever since and completely crippled solo survivor play."'

    I have read and reread my post and the post I have shared from another person and do not see where it says they are even trying to balance the game around SWF. It is simply stating how anyone that plays killer main cries ABOUT the few people that play SWF getting the survivors perks nerfed making it harder for US solo que survivors.

    "What has this created? In short. Entitlement. Killer mains know if they whine, they get what they want. "

    I suggest maybe rereading and trying to point out the part where it states what you claim. All I see is someone who is trying to point out to killer mains who think that survivors have it easy and as they think we are entitled to think again. It is aggravating when people speed read something and assume they 100% understand what they read. I actually talked with this person and that is what the post is about. It is not about the Devs trying to balance the game around SWF but how when a killer plays against maybe one group out of a month that is on mic they complain and get more nerfs for survivors causing issues for solo survivors.

    I will agree though with you on one thing the game is meant to be played without mic's and that is how me and my friends play it. It makes it more fun and fair for everyone involved.The reason the devs claim to be okay with voice chat is because there is no real way to combat it.

    Both sides have received nerfs...and if one side receives more nerfs then the other it's usually because that side is in a stronger position then the other.

    I'm sure you'd struggle to give me an example of a survivor Nerf that wasn't needed.

    If all these entitled killer mains got what they wanted then where are they? And why are survivor queue times so long?

  • Wylesong
    Wylesong Member Posts: 642

    Survivor que time is not long for me and in fact I can get a game in less than 2 or 3 minutes so maybe it is the platform you play on.

    You fail to understand my point. Yes both sides receive nerfs but most survivor nerfs these days are related to people who use mics abusing certain perks. This makes the killer complain making it harder for solo survivors to play. My point is not to take one side or the other but for a killer main to say survivors are entitled is just as bad as a survivor main to say killers are entitled. I agree there are nerfs on both sides so in my opinion there is no biased from the developers. Also sorry I cannot recall EVERY nerf and buff but if you can please by all means provide me with a list. I will look one up online and come back with something soon I hope just to help you out.

    Also tip of the day if que times are long try at peak times of the day or try another platform. =)

    Eu PS4 survivor queue times are roughly 5 mins, killer is around 5 seconds.

    I don't need to bring up a list as if a Nerf was unjustified then it would stick to your mind and you'd be able to recall it.

    Most call for nerfs to perks be it from killer or survivor is usually due how that perk is abused.

    Such examples is the original stbfl machine gun build or abusing infinites on Haddonfield with bl.

    And there isn't many perks that belong to killer that matches this description whereas there a couple of survivor perks that do which could explain why there are more complaints on one side compared to the other.

    @Wylesong When you repost someone's thoughts and this --> "You have no perspective, and are part of the group think mentality. I understand why it is that you think your right, but as I explained, you're not." is their final words, you become a hypocrite to what he was trying to say. I may not agree with that guy, but I do respect him cause at least he had his own thoughts that he could put into words instead of regurgitating someone elses thoughts..

    Well at least we know they're taking an extra week to make the Serpent add-on work on breakable walls so we can have Kool-aid Wraith.

    ...right?

    Wylesong Member Posts: 642

    You are right I am a clueless person who just regurgitates other peoples words that I believe in. I also am done trying to prove because in the end of the day you make a point there is no right answer so what is the point of forums are a debate. I will just watch and laugh from now on. =) Now you can respect me because that is my thought and words. *takes a bow*

    I acknowledge both sides get the short end of the stick but I am tired of the moment you even try to say something the killer mains instantly go into the "They must be a entitled survivor main.". I was no joke 100% honest just asking the person if they are a killer main. I did ask because he seemed to assume the developers are biased to killers but honestly both sides have their ups and downs.

    Lesson number one-Life is not fair deal with it or move on. =) There is many MANY other games to play if people are that truly unhappy with this game.
