Were Flashlight Seizure Macros Addressed In The Q&A?
Seriously. This is a health issue, and there's 0 mechanical effect to the seizure macros. They exist only to give Killer PLAYERS headaches and seizures.
It's a mechanic that's being weaponized to HARM PEOPLE, and fixing it in no way nerfs flashlights or makes saves harder to do.

Is there a difference between flash macro and flash scroll wheel?

No idea. All I know is that I get headaches when Survivors strobe their flashlights in my face at 50 clicks a second. And I'm not photosensitive.

Between all the topics that had a "soon" answer, this one actually wasn't mentioned.

I do as well and no they didn't because that question didn't get upvoted......

Flashlight Macro occurs after clicking, (Basically makes it click 25 times per 1 click) meanwhile scrolling doesnt produce light, just makes a clicking sound.

Oh good. So they could not even be bothered to answer it because it was not 'upvoted'. It's a health issue but let's not touch on it. 🙄
Guess I keep telling my friends to not buy DBD unless they want to swallow their tongues

Not if they put a cooldown between flashlight activations

No, but blame the community for that, not the devs. That question would need to have been asked and upvoted more than the fifteen things we all already know the answer for, after all.

No, no. I'll blame the devs for being so out of touch that they can't read their own forums and decide 'This health issue is more important & should be answered' and instead drop the decision on the forum-base via 'upvoting'.

...It's a community QnA. The entire point of it is to answer the community's questions.
The place they should be talking about this kind of thing, if it's not upvoted, is literally anywhere else.

I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned.
With how incredibly (and at times, mildly insufferably) 'progressive' BHVR are, it's weird that they include as a mechanic in their game something that feels designed to set off photosensitive players.

I'm not surprised to be honest.
Maybe if someone did an interview about having a seizure triggered somewhere quite high profile like Jimquisition and it getting some Twitter traction. or even suing BHVR for not addressing it with a photosenstive epilepsy warning.

No i think I'll blame the devs. Whether they like it or not they have a duty of care, something which in this case is lacking

You can blame them for not addressing it, absolutely. It's just really weird that apparently a ton of people expected it to be in the QnA when it wasn't one of the questions and it wasn't an announcement about a new event, which are the two things that would be in that stream.

i made a post about this so long ago .-. but nothing has been done.... its kind off upsetting

Lost all faith in Q.A when an answer to a serious question was to play another game. Instead of sugar coating a b.s answer, it's just a straight up spend your money elsewhere.

Yup. I have mild photosensitivity issues, and strobe macros in a dark map can send me to bed with a headache. I've even had survivors tell me that they hope they can give someone a seizure in postgame.
I'm astonished that BHVR haven't done anything about this.

It's just the hot topic of the week. It's not an issue.

I sort of disagree. This is one of two games in the last...maybe 4 years that have given me any trouble. The other was an indie thing called 'Mothergunship', which was almost obnoxiously flashy.
For DbD, it's a combination of what's usually referred to as 'noxious stimuli' (the intense, constant clicking) combined with the incredibly rapid strobing effect. It's not the worst on The Game, but darker maps (all the Autohaven maps are rough) can make me feel queasy and sometimes even provoke a terrible migraine.
This feels like a design oversight.

FIFTEEM TINGS that will happen SOOM™.
The shirtless Felix question was in the QnA, twice.
