BHVR I'm so disapointed.
I wanna say this patch has been a major let down. BVHR why cant you do it right? Server improvements still arent here. Flashlights are aimed weird.
Take a look at this post for even more bugs.
Honestly the main reason I'm making this is because why is the game so buggy. You guys cant take a chapter off to improve the game's health?
You cant keep making these half ass patches. This game is buggy you just cant. You guys do all these ptbs but dont even make changes. For Billy you tweaked a couple numbers he still feels trash.
If they spend resources changing something best believe that change is staying its evident with billy nobody wanted the cool down we had many complaints and it's still here.
You guys need to start hiring people to actually test these patches and look at the code so we stop with this buggy mess. 3 weeks and we got this laughable patch.
I wanna mention lightborn this was an excellent opportunity to tweak flashlight addons and make oddbulb actual deserve ultra rare "blind through lightborn" or something similar.
This update also killed frame rate on console it's so bad cant even get good frames on maps other than the og three it's so disgusting. All the promises of console optimization but we are left in the dark. You got games like gears 5 sustaining a did 60 fps but dbd cant even run a consistent 40.
Do you guys only care about money because right now it seems like it. I'm gonna stop now I'm rambling.

You know what the real kicker is? They couldn't be bothered to fix all the bugs they already knew about, but they had time to create a brand new one. They gave us changes to the way auras look that not only weren't needed, but are now a new bug all on their own.

It's crazy cant even hop on the game anymore today played two survivor games and a kyf then got off.

I’m disappointed too.
BHVR: Hillbilly is overperforming so we’re going to add an overheat mechanic
Killer mains: Don’t you dare!
BHVR: Err....ok we will be so generous with the charges and cooldown that the mechanic literally might as well not exist. There we go we fixed Billy by letting him play exactly as he did before. Please don’t be angry at us anymore precious killer mains!!

The aura's needed an update tho, the old system was outdated and couldnt support much variety. While the new aura readings are a bit buggy and need some attention, they are mechanically better. Which is what matters most. I mean, people want a better game right? Better graphics too right? Then expect a lot of updates that will come with bugs because they arent viable with older code. Just bite through the bad weeks. Why do you think they showed the new graphics in the anniversary announcement, but didnt even bring it live to the PTB? Because the old code cannot handle it.
So lets all be patient, not ######### about bugs too much. Just show them game breaking bugs that are consistent enough to affect at least 1 game per day so they can create a temporary fix. And by the time they adressed all the old killers and replaced the old code with more future proof code, we'll be out of this neccesary bad place. I mean, its either a bad period with new content, or the exact same content for months. And I am fairly certain people want new characters each year.
And if you think the community could last without updates: We've had a period where there wasnt any really interesting update for a few months, and while the bugs then werent too impactful, the game got boring and a ton of people left.

It wasn't just killer mains saying "Don't you dare".
It was most of the community, survivor and killer alike. You're in the minority because you can't loop a Billy.

mechanically they're better, visually they needed brightening up, they feel really off as they are currently

Neither can most of the community it seems, otherwise he wouldnt be overperforming.
Lol those survivor mains are the type that barely ever play killer and in the small number of times when they do they always go to Billy, hmm I wonder why 🤔 maybe it was the fact that he was low effort, high reward.
But the same people will still go on a witchhunt against Spirit.

The overall vibe of your comment says you want Billy nerfed.
I think Flashlights are still broken on Dwight. The hit improvements are also reportedly terrible. Many streamers say it's buggy and worse than now.

Exactly . I'm a survivor main and thought it was completely unnecessary. Thankfully they listened and it doesn't seem as bad it was originally slated to be.

I'm all for new and better graphics. New and better does not require making auras significantly smaller and changing their color to something that is practically impossible for people that have any level of color blindness to see.
1 -
I dont care if the game looks better or not. Fix the issues that already exist before making more. I swear, if it makes sense then it’s not ######### allowed.

I don't recall anyone saying Billy was "overperforming" except you. Even BHVR said "we like how he performs"; and imagine calling Billy "low effort". He's only "low effort" against potato survivors. Guess we know what kind of survivor you are, now. LUL. Comparing Billy to Spirit is laughable.
Just stop - you'll just be buried how you are with all your conversations. Then you'll disappear for another month so people will forget how silly you made yourself look.
Amen.

As for the wait it out part..... I don't know. They've literally made it where I can not effectively play this game at the moment as I cannot see a critical aspect of it. If it's fixed fairly quickly maybe I come back. If it takes much longer they may lose a lot of people as it becomes easy to lose interest in something when you aren't doing it. Especially when you aren't doing it for a reason like this.

Maybe if you took time to read the patch notes instead of trying to talk trash to people you disagree with....
”The Hillbilly has a versatile kit with traversal and double-damage effects as a part of his base power, leading this character to overperform compared to other Killers.”
Which is what people like myself and others who actually understand the game have been saying for a long time. It was obvious to anyone without bias that Hillbilly was overperforming and made most other killers look ridiculous.

I don't even have to engage with you anymore. Everyone else has already proven my point.

In their first post where they talked about upcoming changes to Leatherface and Hillbilly, they also stated that they were happy with how Billy is performing. It's quite obvious that the devs intended small changes to limit Hillbillies chainsaw usage, but without hurting him and certain playstyles too much and making them unviable.
The typical accusation of yours that the devs only carter to killers, which is why they weakened the nerf, is as immature as always. So many people said that they went overboard with the Hillbilly nerf on the ptb, saying all those people have no idea of this game's balance is ludicrous.

Well, lets be fair and assume its mainly us who are used to the old aura's and just need some time to accept and adjust to the new mechanics. The same happened with the EGC, I left 2-3 months before the EGC went live and came back when it was included. I had no idea what to do and just played like I did 2 years ago: opening the gate ASAP, triggering No One Left Behind(which used to be amazing) and be a healing support for other survivors who were still in the match. Ended up in me dying and not really having an idea how I could stop the killer from triggering the EGC(I thought the killer spotted me opening the gate and triggered the EGC himself at first, because people kinda described it to me as a killer mechanic), to a point of me stalking the killer, waiting for him to find something to trigger, only to still have the EGC working, finally looking up what the hell it was all about and ended up needing a week just to get adjusted and find out how many perks are terrible now because of things like the EGC, while other perks have only gotten buffed indirectly because of it. Like, Bloodwarden is now actually decently viable, back in those days it was just a meme and only used on Freddy because of his old power pretty much requiring an additional minute after the gates were opened.
The game changed a lot over time, its far from what it used to be when I started, and I dont expect things to remain the same.

Usually I am all in to criticize bhvr for things, I think, are running wrong by them, but by this one no...
Bugfixing is tedious, most times subordinate and underpaid. Not to mention that nobody thanks you for this kind of work. The only thanks you get is the silence in the forums, compared to the usual anger about bugs.
I think they doing an ok job and would actual wish to see other things also worked out on this level. Like things I waiting for :).

lmao basically you were proven wrong and now you're giving the backout excuse.
As they say in DBD, "GG EZ"

It kinda does tho. The old mechanic was old code and interferes with new code, creating bugs. There are a lot of bugs out of the game simply by replacing the mechanic and removing the old code.
Ofcourse the way it looks now isnt great, but it can always be improved upon.
0 -
I fully agree with this, the devs absolutely need to allocate more resources to bug fixing. Also, sorry to be a dick but disappointed has 2 p's in it, not 1.

I will grant that there is new code and there is old code. The thing is at some point both the new code and the old code existed at the same time. The new code was in some sort of testing phase while the old code was still being used for those of us playing the game. BHVR could have chosen to make the necessary improvements (bigger and brighter auras) to the new code while they were still separate. That way when they replaced the old code they weren't replacing it with something that made their game unplayable for lots of people.

Oh, a 3 for 3. I am assuming you are colorblind if it affects you so much. Honestly, I dont really see the issue. The aura's still light up in a way that is differential to the normal way. So I dont see how colorblindness really affects that, perhaps I havent been on a map yet where I could see that it could be an issue for certain colorblindnesses, but so far I dont see an alarming issue with it. And as I am writing this, you send me another reply to my older one, so I'll ask you to wait for me to reply to your comments first, and comment to everything as a whole, to keep the conversations down here tidy and easy to navigate.

Agreed, they could have, or they might have been working on a colorblind mode and forgot to release it at the same time. Essentially crippling colorblind people.

Maybe you should have read the part that said that they overdid it with the nerf. :P

It's ok. I'm not trying to argue with you. As for the colorblind part just read through this forum. Color blind people left and right are talking about how hard this is for them to see. There are even lots of people that aren't color blind saying this is hard for them to see. I'm nowhere close to alone in this new change making auras nearly impossible to see unless I am very close.

I've played quite some games right now, and while it's slightly less visible, I actually think its better for the game in general at this moment in time. I mean, Aura readings give a LOT of information that is essentially free in most cases, or incredibly cheap in other cases. The only aura readings I would consider "expensive" are the ones that require the exit gates to be opened, and even those arent really terrible perks. Right now, aura readings are actually something you need to focus on if you want to gather the information, rather than a leasurely mouse sweep over the screen to get all the information without actually doing anything.
Let alone that you can now see through aura's aswell. Meaning you can no longer use a generator to hide behind as a survivor to get OoO without being spotted, nor can you use a generator to cover yourself from BBQ anymore. Which has a massive impact on the game in general. They might want to brighten up the outlines a teeny tiny bit just to make it slightly easier to read aura's, but I am actually impressed with the current aura's. It takes about 4-5 games to get used to them as survivor and about 6-8 games to get used to them as killer. It has improved my overall killrates because I get more information. Encountered an OoO squad and I didnt have to sweat as much as I normally do, because they are very easy to spot if they try and hide behind gens.

Yet people will gobble up the new rift and support them despite every patch bringing more and more issues

The auras are downright NON EXISTENT. I play killer with BBQ and Survivor with Bond and kindred. I have eyesight problems as it is and now with this new change it makes it where the colors blend into the map for me so I cannot see auras. I can see when a survivor first gets hooked after that nope. Behavior is ruining the game for me and ive been playing for 3 years now.
0 -
Yeah true
1 -
All that is fine and good on one condition. You have to be able to see them. It's not about getting used to them if you have a form of color blindness that prevents you from seeing them in the first place.

So many issues after the patch. This is one of the worst patches in terms of bugs. Old bugs have still not been resolved and new bugs have come up as well. Aura's are messed up for some reason and idk if it's just me but I've been getting hit through windows like everyone was before the window vault fixes. Devs, please fix these issues. These bugs are getting out of hand and I've been playing since 2017. I literally don't even want to touch survivor anymore and killer isn't that much better because of all these bugs.
1 -
The dev's don't care. They're gonna keep pumping out cosmetics and dlc for money bc they don't give a sh*t about game health. It's a company that wants money, they don't care if we're unhappy... unfortunately.

Have you seen the new auras on Ormond?
0 -
worst update of all time , trapper is deleted , bbq hardly even works now , and to top it off all matchs are laggy, and flashlights are harder to use xD i mean was this the update where u just decided to loose half your player base or whaT?
0 -
Eh, its extremely hard to spot smaller aura's. Like I said, they might wanna brighten up the aura's slightly or darken maps overall(which is the intention with the graphics update as far as we've seen). And yeah, it kinda sucks right now. But this change was a neccesary evil for right now.
As for the general intention. You're supposed to see auras worse the further they are. That makes the game harder in general and makes some very easy plays a lot harder. The old aura system allowed some groups to have someone running a rainbow map, run Open Handed, Dejavu, Streetwise and Detective's Hunch and add a Crystal Bead and then either use any Stamp or Jelly to increase the range or map duration even more, and you're without any totem within the first 2 minutes of the game. Let alone that all generators are pretty much available for them at all times, even if some gens are kinda hidden away on some maps.
Let alone that it allowed killers to instantly chase and tunnel that one survivor they hooked previously while using BBQ, even though that survivor is as far away from the killer as possible.
Trust me when I say this aura change is for the better of the game overall. Its not perfect, but a tiny bit brighter is all that is needed.
0 -
Yep, even played on Ormond as perma T1 myers. Still as effective as normal.
They might need to be slightly brighter, but they are overall better.

Well, you must have the eyes of an eagle, because most of the time they are just plain impossible to see... including trapper traps.
