A note from Dwight to BEhaviour
Take a break from releasing DLC and spend the next few month releasing patches and bug fixes for issues that currently plague the game, no one is applauding you for the twins, because they were rushed out to meet a development quota.
Take some time and fix the game before you add more and more stuff into it, because eventually, when the bugs finally catch up to you, you won't be able to fix them because they will be so intertwined with the internal code that you will have to tear through the code to fix even the most minute of bugs, not to mention possibly creating some in the progress.
Take a few months and finish The Realm Beyond, optimize it so that it doesn't ruin framerates and spend more time with the models and animation work, put some thought into breakable wall placement, make maps more varied and give them more personality.
Make a better tutorial, and help us cut down on toxicity so new players will feel welcomed to their new experiences.
Make the rifts more fun, help alleviate grind.
Make events alongside the community so that everyone has the most fun they possibly can.
Make new and unique killers, survivors, and perks because you aren't forcing yourselves to come up with ideas.
The people who give you advice, myself including, don't hate you just because we criticize you, we want to see the game succeed as much as you do, but cutting ties between the company and the consumer doesn't help anyone.
Don't fall into a cycle of patting yourself on the back while the community riots, you need the criticism because criticism is what helps us improve and strive to be better. There are YouTube channels dedicated to telling you your errors, your biggest fans give suggestions all the time, because they are so passionate about the game succeeding that they spend their time telling you what needs to change to better the game health.
I assume this will be read at some point, I don't assume it will do much to change the way the game will be developed, I just wanted to say this to see if it makes someone think.

I agree completely with this. Just be careful what you say. People who give criticism on the forums often get banned. The truth of the matter is they want money. The game only has a few more years left. New more bigger and exciting games will arrive and DBD will become a memory unless they do heavy reworking on game mechanics. They arent changing the way the game is played and its going to get stale. If this keeps happening they will loose their loyal fanbase and the game will die. Its sad

Let’s not spread lies here. People that got banned broke forum rules. Literally everyone critizised BHVR right now.
what you meant was insulting.

You’re the one spreading lies. The mods are not honest people. XD

and how would you know that someone got banned for criticism and not for breaking forum rules? Any evidence?

Ha! They deleted the line of conversation because of who it mentions.
You think you’re so sneaky.

He asked for an example, and transparency is a virtue. One you clearly don’t have.

I like how you didn’t delete Mooks question, just my response.

Shouldn't you delete Mooks messages too, since it's "discussing bans?"

Sorry, it wasn’t my intention to trick anyone into discussing direct bans, but I guess I did just that.
it still stands though, people get banned for breaking forum rules. You can read those rules to avoid this.
critizising is Never the reason for a ban, otherwise they would need to literally ban every single one that made a comment regarding the latest chapter.

Remember Last Year? The Devs made bad decisions with it's release platform and the lack of sales gradually killed off the game, a year after the original was abandoned they released a reboot that didn't sell well either, they then rereleased the original on steam without making changes, they're trying to make money to release updates but it's gotten to a point where the game is on sale constantly.
I enjoyed that game too and watched it die twice, I don't want that happening to DBD because of poor planning.

I've played DBD a year after it came out and I enjoyed it so much, but now its getting stale and bad decisions keep being made. For example, I used to always be excited for new killers and survivors, now its just boring to me because you always have to pay real money for the DLC, like I wanted Nancy but as I do not work (not old enough) and I don't want to pay money just for one character, that wish is out the window. And, when you are charging real money for a DLC, at least they could of made the latest one bug free. I wish they stop making the unbalance for survivors and killers so big as well and I don't get why they change things that do not need to be changed, such as Flashlights. The latest update was just a big let down but tbh there have been let downs for a long time now.
I don't want to be an ass, or anything like that, I just don't want the game to die out, I just hope Devs listen to the community instead of banning and ignoring them, its unhealthy for a game.
