What’s the point of the PTB????
We literally can’t see auras anymore, the game is reaching 15 FPS on console, why can’t you ######### fix your goddamn game????
I am seriously done with this game. The devs clearly don’t play this game and don’t give a ######### about console players.

The PTB is only to give us a moment to brace for the upcoming changes.

Duh, PTB stands for Preview Teasing Bullshit

None of these problems were in the PTB. The problems that were in PTB like some Bubba addons and the whole Billy change was nearly completely fixed, so it did its job more than enough. Of course the game will have bugs and problems after the update, that's why we have hotfixes. If you are turning to "Im done with this game" comments and shaming devs over some bugs, I will be more than happy to see you leave this community.

The aura changes were already in the PTB.
Every update that comes we get more and more bugs and even more lag, so I’m sorry if I can’t keep my ######### together when this game keeps LAGGING to the point it’s UNBEARABLE to play. It’s negligence to console players now.
If you play on PC don’t quote me cause you don’t know what you’re talking about.

No the aura changes weren't in PTB. If you wanna see for yourself look at any Youtuber or streamer game play of the last PTB.
So the game having bugs is negligence to console players, do you even know what "negligence" means? Do you think the lag you are having is an intentional feature? Do you think that if a bug isn't fixed in the next couple hours after the update that devs don't care? Do you think devs are machines that don't sleep and work 24/7 and they are able to fix any problem in the 5 different platforms this game runs on instantly?
If your answer to any of these questions is "yes" then you either have an extremely entitled point of view or you need to look up the dictionary. Please go fix yourself and stop whining about the game not being perfect, it has never been, deal with it like everyone else or wait until it's fixed.

It was. Thing is they made it even worse.
There are bugs from ages ago still in this game and I couldn’t care less if it was a thing or two but its every. single. patch.
I never saw any other online game as a mess as this one.
Playing with 15 FPS is unacceptable. They are killing their own game without even realizing it. But of course there will always be people like you who will accept anything they give.
I can’t only imagine the downhill when the graphics update come.

Another online game that's messier than this... hhmmm can't seem to think of any off the top of my - * COUGH * Fallout 76 * COUGH * I'm sorry, the entitlement is so thick here its hard to breathe

Yeah, PC has absolutely no problems, lingering or otherwise. Every PC player has a multi-thousand dollar setup and a racing chair to boot. No bug here, no siree, just PC entitlement and the Master Race.
We all know console is a shite port, but don't pretend that PC works much better. I still randomly lose frames every few minutes, chases spontaneously lag, the game looks like absolute shite because most of us don't have the money to upgrade. My PC has less processing power than my damn Xbox, and the only reason it runs the game better is because I can set my graphics to the barest of minimums.

I never said people on PC lived in the heaven. All I want is the optimization that was promised and yet we get even more lag.
I dare you to play Freddy on base PS4 with this patch.

aura changes need to go back to normal way they looked.
1 -
Better idea, I'll play Freddy on my year-1 Xbox one. And it'll run like absolute shite, to be sure, but not a whole lot worse than PC.

While i dont like the aura changes i like the fact that they are atl least trying to do something with them and i play on xbox i have no frame issues there is lag but im assumeing thats because of the ammount of new players and crossplay. If it wasnt for the ptb billy wouldnt of been fixed bubba would still be broken and we would of had no warning. It's ptb that means public test build. not pitch trash beliefs. So chill god the game is not the best but these forems are not helping

Sure...
"The devs clearly don’t play this game and don’t give a [BAD WORD] about console players."
"I am seriously done with this game."
...very valid criticism. Very constructive and helpful indeed. Lol, also I love how you are using "dbd defender" and "apologist" as a bad thing. Makes me curious about what words you will put together as an "answer" to this comment.

If they did, they wouldn’t create useless add ons for Billy amongst many other things.
What do you want me to say? “My game lags a lot” everybody knows that for years and the situation only gets worse.
But go on, go give them a $10 dollar cosmetic.

"Completed Game" and "In Development". DbD is an "in development" game which means everything in it can change, bugs may happen and you accept this when buying this game. He can be as angry as he wants, I never said anything about his anger. Since you obviously didn't read my first comment here is a summary: He called out devs for not giving a [BAD WORD] about console players and said he was done with the game because of some bugs and a change that everyone complained about (and you called these valid complaints, which I still find hilarious). In his second comment he called this same thing negligence. If you think these are true I point those two comments to you as well.
Maybe this may surprise you but companies make money and that doesn't directly make them evil. Also another surprise, they have a whole team of HUMANS who bug check this game, but like any other HUMAN they don't get to fix everything and games like this don't function the same in a small testing environment and when released globally.
Nah you can complain and rage, a lot of people here does and I couldn't care less about it. I just gave an answer to you acting like these bugs are a huge middle finger to the console community, when they are just bugs that will be fixed soon. If you want it fixed there are Bug Report and Feedback sections in this forum. If you are here you aren't trying to get it fixed, you just want to complain.
You really went off topic with your last sentence but here's my answer: I have never paid money for a cosmetic but if a person wants to pay 10$ for a cosmetic they would use for months maybe instead of a Big Mac, I see no problem with it. This one makes you look kinda desperate to find an insult to be honest, at least try to find something I actually mentioned next time.

Bugs that will be fixed soon lmao you must live in an alternate world cause if that was the case people wouldn’t rage about it
Of course I want to complain, maybe that way they’ll finally listen and try harder?
And if you didn’t care you wouldn’t waste your time defending them

According to the patch notes:
"Aura Rework - Refactored the Aura System on a technical level to make sure the system is easier to maintain and less prone to bugs in the future. Visuals for the Refactor were changed to support the new refactor. Functionally the system has not been significantly changed, however the appearance of auras is noticeably different."
TLDR; They reworked auras so they won't bug in the future as much.
So making them darker wasn't the intention, and with all the people complaining it's most definitely getting changed. You are right about the untested part, but it may have just not been finished fully when PTB released. So I don't wanna blame them before at least the first hotfix.
Also I'm not playing on console, I'm a PC player, but I wasn't defending the bug in any way. He was acting like the lag in the console is devs not caring about the console players and stuff, I was replying to that. I did play on console in the past so I know the general performance problem there but that post was aimed fully on a bug that apparently appeared this patch a couple hours ago.

Isn’t it generally agreed upon that people would rather have 6 months of no new killers/survivors and just have the game cleaned up and optimized, whether PC or console? Right now the game freezes every 10-15 seconds for about 0.5-1 sec. Auras were changed for whatever reason they say, but I think it’s fair to say that as usual, there was no quality control measures taken.
While it’s not great for people to blow up on the devs, when there is an established pattern of issues not being addressed (sounds anyone?) emotions will flair. You don’t need to lecture people on how they should feel; it’s okay to suggest expressing their views in a different light...but there comes a point where that just doesn’t hold anymore. Its okay for people to be angry. Whatever the reason, it is well understood at this point that bugs in this game are never fully addressed, or not addressed at all. I’ve played on all platforms. Even on a PS4 Pro frame drops can be horrendous...while I can play other games in 4k with no frame drops that look stunning. Yet if you go in the forums to report frame issues, they literally act like it’s brand new and they’ve never heard of these issues before (I’m serious). That’s absurd. You can at least appreciate that to be the case, right?
imagine playing Madden, throwing a TD pass to The Gronkaneer, only to see the ball go 8 yds to the left of him, yet he does a catching animation and scores a touchdown after crossing the 20 yd line. Or pulling your sniper rifle up in CoD, badly missing your opponent (hitting a car actually) but then seeing it registered as a kill. The difference is - those bugs would be immediately called out, immediately addressed by the devs, with a hot fix on the way. Half the time there’s no acknowledgement of bugs in the game.
How about BHVR pins a running list of known bugs in the game and with an ETA on when they’ll be fixed. Because it seems to me their code has to be a hot mess if they can’t even identify where bugs are or how to replicate them

"Fallout 76 is worse than DbD so the people who want a game that runs at a stable framerate are entitled" Sure bud.
2 -
Normal people don't ask other people who defend something if they're "payed to lick dev's @$$." That part kinda screams entitled to me.
Oh, and I just noticed he edited it so it wouldn't say that. Cute.

I didn’t, the mods did.
And yes, I’m entitled to a STABLE experience in a game that I BOUGHT.
