Anyone Else Disappointed With The Lack of Content?
We got Pinhead (which is cool) and some minor tweaks to The Nemesis and that's all. We didn't get a new map/ new survivor/ survivor perks/ or map rework.
They could've at least made it clear that it was a paragraph and not a chapter in the teaser.

Yep was hoping we got a new map. But oh well it is what it is.

I am, but I will accept it if it means that the Devs are focusing their resources on fixing the code and optimizing the game for the poor console players. I'm on PC so I don't notice too much, but I've seen plenty of videos and it really is sad how console players suffer.

Definitely seems like a let down compared to Chapter 20.
One Killer with three perks is quite a bit lesser then one Killer with three perks, two Survivors with six perks and a new map.
They're not even advertising it as a Paragraph, like with Ghost Face and Leatherface. This is a full Chapter, apparently.
17 -
Yeah, like at least release the first boon totem or rework/buff 2-3 survivor perks.
3 -
You do realize that a chapter isnt neccesarily about the whole package, right? Let alone that the new chapter is still gonna release quite soon. But DBD has plenty of maps, I still rather have them balance existing maps rather than adding a new one. I mean, you do realize that if Pinhead came with a map, it would once again be a licensed map that is obviously going to be quite unbalanced because of it being a licensed map?

I'm fine with not getting a new Map right now. Tbh, the newer maps we have gotten have been a pretty big miss for me. RPD I can tolerate, but Midwich is always a "I'm just not gonna even attempt to play" due to the performance issues I have on it and how I loathe the design of the map & even how dark it can be. And with the reworked Game being super pallet town AND some redesigned maps (on certain Killers in my experience) have iffy performances...I'm fine contending with what we have now.
I however REALLY wanted Kirsty from Hellraiser as a Survivor with Ashley Lawrence's likeness used (the Actress seemed to be all for it). The only other content I want is just, actual Events brought back like we used to have.
1 -
Yeah, makes me not want to play survivor even more.
0 -
We've had one map in the past five Chapters. We're not even getting a realm rework this Chapter as far as I'm aware, which was the excuse for why Chapters 17, 18 & 19 didn't have one.
This is a Paragraph being released as a full Chapter. The previous four Paragraphs (Left Behind, Leatherface, Ash vs Evil Dead & Ghost Face) were released between Chapters.
1 -
You know Ghost Face was advertised as a chapter initially, right?
9 -
The whole paragraph thing was removed a while ago, Ghostface was a chapter actually.
5 -
Honestly Im happy with the content
new killer and 3 perks that actually feel good and fun to use, im set for like the next ~2 chapters at least
2 -
No where on the Ghost Face DLC store page is 'Chapter' mentioned (at least on Steam). It wasn't advertised as a Chapter like the one preceding it (Demise of the Faithful) or the one succeeding it (Stranger Things).
This applies to the other three Paragraphs as well.
If the developers consider Ghost Face to be a chapter, that's certainly not indicated in their marketing.
I wasn't aware of this, if true. It doesn't matter though, because it currently is not advertised as a full chapter, like Chapter 21 currently is despite having the same amount of content.

I'm fine with this content. Pinhead is pretty major as far as horror icons go, and it seems that over the last couple of months most people have been complaining that there was too MUCH content. People complained about the map, people complained about the perks, people complained about the appearance of the characters, people complained about the Nemesis being too OP, people complained about the Nemesis being weak, people complained about the zombies, people complained about the performance (this last one at least holds universal weight).
Then there was the 5 year anniversary event. People complained about the familiarity of the event, people complained about the lack of survivor cakes, people complained about survivors playing too hard, people complained about the killers playing too hard, people complained about other players disconnecting, people complained about the lack of a disconnect penalty, people complained about the possibility of bringing the disconnect penalty back, people complained about the ranks being messed up, people complained about the need for a better ranking system, people complained that it was too hard to get crowns, people complained that the crowns didn't look different enough, people complained that the crowns couldn't be worn by licensed characters, people complained that the crowns were worthless, people complained that the crown event was an arbitrary predetermined lie, people complained that the bloodhunt event wasn't enough, people complained that the bloodhunt event was too exhausting, people complained that they were being urged to play the game too much, people complained that they needed a break but couldn't take one, people complained that cakes were being hoarded and not shared, people complained that the Saw sale immediately after the event was lame, people complained that the pig mask was stupid, people complained that they were getting the Game map too much. Then came the buildup to today's new content and people complained all month about that, on top of the regular daily complaints about everyone being cheap, unfair, overpowered, and needing nerfs.
I think it's perfectly fine that they cool their jets with the new content a little and take this time to maybe look into other aspects of the game. Isn't that what most people wanted?

Demise of the Faithful is Chapter 11. Stranger Things was Chapter 13. Ash vs. the Evil Dead was released at an odd time, like paragraphs usually were (Left Behind shortly before Spark of Madness and Leatherface shortly before Nightmare on Elm Street).
Unlike the other three paragraphs, Ghost Face is a pseudo-licensed character and was released for the 3rd year anniversary, falling perfectly in line with when Chapter 12 should release. A Chapter that is mysteriously missing.
Plus, there is the fact that it used to cost the same as a full Chapter.
4 -
I never said it isn't Chapter 12. I said it isn't being marketed as such, which is odd because the Hellraiser DLC has the same amount of content yet is fully being advertised as Chapter 21.
1 -
After what happened with stranger things, I don't think they want to do a map based on the new chapter tbh
0 -
No. We get a ton on content. I feel bad for the devs that have to churn it out at this pace.
3 -
It's listed as a Chapter in this video - https://youtu.be/ZBhX7dbm2EQ
2 -
If I remembered right, during the 5th anniversary stream they said there will be 2× maps this year. I'm not sure whether that was inclusive of Resident Evil or not, but bearing that in mind and how this killer and survivor are being released seperately, then I'm gonna hazard a guess the next map might be the mid-year chapter.
0 -
I'd rather they fix and update existing content than add new content to be honest.
0 -
They literally just made a new map with the last patch, which wasn't that long ago lmfao.
You guys are never satisfied.
2 -
Um... no?
We got RE in what? June? And now Pinhead. Plus we have gotten a lot of sweet cosmetics in-between. Bhvr pumps out a lot of content in the year.
It would have been nice if bhvr said it was a paragraph but everyone was saying it was a paragraph for the last month so should be no surprise if you have been on the forums. Plus isn't a survivor paragraph following this one?
1 -
i really doubt its because of BHVR but rather the agreement. Obiously only BHVR knows

Really hope there's another survivor otherwise there's just gonna be a content drought for one side
0 -
To be fair a lot of people weren't able to access that map for a good long while based on performance issues, disconnects, and its temporary disabling.
To be less fair, a lot of other people don't really count it as a map because "TOO BIG AND SERVIVAR SIDED, MILLIONS O PALLETS AND NOT ENOUGH WIDE OPEN KILL ZONES, PLEASE DELETE".
1 -
When Ghost Face was released, it was advertised under 'CHAPTER XII: Ghost Face', whereas things like Leatherface are listed as 'PARAGRAPH'. For reference, you can view the wiki. Ghost Face was treated as a legitimate chapter. I remember this wholeheartedly, thinking, 'So we're calling paragraphs full chapters now?'
Believe me, it is strange.
1 -
Yes, I understand that, but I was mostly just upset we didn't get much besides Pinhead. It would have been nice to get a few more balance changes or another realm beyond update or something at all. The bulk of my disappointment was rooted in the fact that the update itself had very little content not that it was listed as a chapter (though it did upset me a little which is why I mentioned it).
0 -
I can understand the disappointment for people with performance issues not being able to access the map, but even for those people it's still a new map. And to be completely honest if they can't access that map, what makes them think a newer one would be better for them?
The more I play RPD the more I somewhat like it in a way, barring the two infinite rooms.
0 -
Lol, you know they are doing nothing to fix this game, console, pc or otherwise. Spirit still can't hear footsteps, theres still the bug where survivors are completely quiet on the ground. You know what they are doing though? Making new skins, and planning the new rift.
3 -
We got a new type of perk that changes hooks.
0 -
According to sources we are supposed to get a standalone survivor in the next mid chapter patch.
1 -
I agree, whether someone likes it or not it's a new map. Not everyone is going to like each new map that gets added to the game, but to discount it and wish it were deleted for that reason (as many have done) is silly to me.
0 -
Its acceptable if it means they are allocating their resources to more needy parts of the game.
0 -
Honestly we need new maps. It gets boring after a while playing the same maps over and over.
2 -
The less new perks out there the better.
0 -
I just wish the new map was more balanced, because even for Nurse that map isn't pleasant, and survivors are pretty much in full control of it. But at the end of the day it's still new content and I took a bit of effort to learning the layout and whatnot.
Aesthetically, it's one of the best maps on the game. In terms of how it plays it's not really that bad as people say but it's not necessarily the most pleasant (as killer, at least). I hope the variations make the map for tolerable, but it's not bad enough to be deleted imho.
I'd rather go to RPD than the lab map, which thankfully is going to get removed :).
0 -
I'm mostly content albeit a bit disappointed we didn't get a reworked map at least, or any perk reworks.
0 -
I’m not sure what they were doing all this time. Not even perk updates?? It really feels like an empty patch
0 -
With the Stranger Things situation in mind, I would be apprehensive to spend time, money and effort on licensed maps.
To be honest, from the remaining viable franchises, only Jason without Crystal Lake would be a glaring omission.
3 -
No new map.
No map rework.
Not a single balance update for weak killers like Trapper.
No significant changes to UI or character models.
I feel disappointed too.
5 -
If it was just a survivor instead of the killer nobody would have complained
1 -
I Mean, you can't do that stuff in three month-
0 -
There's been no real massive content update that hasn't been your basic new killer/survivor since 2019. That was what? Around the time of Shop/The Archives? Nothing of substance in 2 years. I guess you might consider map reworks and a new map content, which is true, I mean this patch lacks literally everything but a new killer after all, so by a lot of people's definition it has next to nothing.
0 -
uhh... no? That's absolutely not true.
The first time we got a solo Survivor, Bill, was a free content update and not a Chapter.
The second time, Ash, was explicitly in-between Chapters 11 & 12, and did not take up either slot.
Why would you think people would complain less about minimal content... in a situation where we would have even less content than now?
2 -
Because the majority of dbd's playerbase is survivor main and they don't care about new killers
0 -
there are 27 survivors and 24 killers
why do we always need a new survivor when a new killer comes out?
1 -
Does it matter if it is advertised as a chapter or paragraph?
You still get one killer and you can decide if you want to buy it or not.
0 -
Not really... I would rather the devs fix the game first but that might only be me at this point
0 -
I'm a little dissapointed as well, especially after the midchapter was pretty lackluster as well. Only being Trickster buffs and Trickster perk buffs. Survivors haven't had anything new to mess around with since RE Chapter, which means survivors won't be getting any new perks or perk buffs for another month and a half, after Pinhead releases. Which is like 4 and a half month without content/changes for one role of the two roles of the game.
I had really been getting my hopes up since the mid chapter with Freddy, Huntress and Demo changes + a bunch of survivor perk buffs, that as an amazing update for both sides. But ever since updates (excluding RE chapter) have been super lackluster.
0 -
That’s not true. Actually most of the survivor only players don’t really care for new survivors as they are only skins and most of the new perks are niche/trash either way. The survs already got their pool of Meta perks.
and literally everyone has to agree that only new killers are important in terms of gameplay and content.. that’s just an objective fact
