The PTB has a problem: too few survivors and Clowns
Playing killer for me is impossible because I end up staring at my empty lobby forever, and as a survivor I only meet Hillbillies with the usual meta build or other killers (except the Clown) all with Ultra Rares and Ebony Moris. Honestly I can't bother to play with your most "op" build just because you don't loose addons and offerings in the live version, I'd just love to try the new things (especially the killer) but currently it seems impossible.
Please: play more survivor and less the old usual killers. Otherwise this ptb seems like a waste.

The main issue to me is : I played live, and it seems like my ranking transfered from live to PTB.
The first time I played PTB (a few days ago), I got myself deranked to rank 12.
Then I played live, got me to rank 6-7.
Switched back to PTB for the new patch >> rank 6-7 on PTB.
Since most survivors just D/C since it's PTB, there's nearly no high ranks.
I waited 1 hour yesterday, found no-one.0 -
Everytime I face a non-Clown in the PTB I cry.
And it's the majority of games

People tested the new content, played some games got the idea and went back to the normal game since it's actually worth BP and Shards. Everyone I know moved back a few days ago. It's time to launch it IMO.

I actually faced the same Nurse 4 times in a row :
Full Try hard (no new perks), The Game offering, 4 blinks.
Very interesting rounds since we were mostly perkless kates.
Some people really missed the point of PTB : "HURR DURR Let's see if 4 BNPs DO WORK ON PTB" "LET'S BRING 4 FLASHLIGHTS FOR THE LULZ" "LET'S GO EBONY MORI NURSE FULL META BUILD KEKEKEK"4 -

I never ever DC from matches, but just facing full meta Nurses/Hillbillies in the PTB makes me want to, and I even did from 1 Nurse game (our entire team ended up DCing lol).
If there's absolutely nothing new in a game, and I'm not earning anything (cus PTB) or experiencing anything new, there's just no point in that game whatsoever to me.

I actually did my first D/Cs yesterday on this game on the PTB as survivor, because people are just exploiting the fact they're not losing their items there to go all out with cheesy stuff as long as they can provide, which is definitely boring as heck.

Sooo, my actual career is that I do bug testing in a (web, not gaming) development team, and people using ultra rare items is not really a bad thing? They're giving the beta a nice run for its money. It would suck to run a mori on the final build and see that it's broken, because no one wanted to try it in the PTB.
Same with people who are out there playing whatever killers & running all kinds of meta perks. Stressing the system is good, you should be doing whacky things you can't do in live build games.
Though with that being said, the disappointing thing on the PTB that made me stop playing survivor (and therefore, at all, because killer makes me motion sick), was that there were too few dicking around/exploratory matches. I loaded up the PTB on the first day and killers were actually killing people immediately, and I was like... #########. It's day 1, what are you doing? Everyone should be taking some time to run around and break the game so that we can report bugs & exploitable problems to the devs.

I had to save up some bloodpoints on the live server for the drunk uncle Clown. I got him to p1-27 on the PTB and stopped since none of the progress would be saved. Also lobbies took hours because I was rank 5.

Survivors just enjoy the vacuum as long as they can^^0
