Is anything better? Is DBD still doing NFT stuff? Has this game changed for the better over the past year? What's this Iri Shards deal with the Chili Billy? I have not been keeping up

    Apparently, they backed out of the Pinhead NFT stuff. But here was no official statement on this. All we know is that the actual NFTs don’t use the model made by BHVR as previously stated.

    They removed the unlockable masks for Bubba that were based on the original 4 survivors as they were used as tools for racism on social media etc. Also because SmartFace had a texture issue that made it literally black face. As compensation they said everyone who played Bubba at least once (even if with those retired splinter offerings) would get 6K shards. They did only get a few right though and many didn’t get their shards and those were given out in waves. I think there are still plenty that didn’t get them.

    Good call!

    I'll be over here doing my best "Why can't I quit you?" Brokeback Mountain-style complaining :D

    But yes, if you didn't like the game a year ago with the changes, very little (in-game at least) has been changed. For whatever reason, BHVR seems perfectly content with the games current state (in terms of performance and perks and SBMMR).

    Well. Not quite true, as they stated they are aware that SBMM predicts the outcome of a match pretty good but the system currently has flaws mainly prioritizing Lobby times over fair matchmaking. Also they talked about performance on console and that they want to improve it (as they once promised with console being on constant 60fps, which they admitted was way too ambitious). They also talked about monitoring CoH and DH being closely monitored.


    it’s just that they don’t really accomplish what they talk about. Or they are taking waaaay waaaay too long for it.

    I mean this in the nicest way possible to BHVR because it's not going to sound nice

    BHVR talks a LOT. A LOT a LOT. All they ever seem to do is talk talk talk talk (and monitor, I suppose we can't forget monitor!).

    Talk and monitor talk and monitor talk and monitor

    Until something ACTUALLY happens, their talk means nothing. Talk is cheap. They talk all the damn time and to be blunt, I have zero faith or trust that until we see actual changes with our own eyeballs playing the game, all it is going to be is talk. Maybe at some point players could have taken BHVRs word and had faith that if they said they were doing X, it would get done but I have no faith in anything they say is actually happening until we the players get to see the fruits of those talks.

    fair enough.

    I think many things they talked about did get delivered though so I actually believe they are working on this stuff. But I can easily see your point of view as well.

    Not much has changed since SBMM released, other than a few new killers, survivors, a couple of maps... What would make you come back if you don't mind me asking?

    Survivors now have hexes that they can relight infinitely.
