The Chapter-Future of DbD

We all love it when new contents comes around the corner - thats normal, especially since DbD provides the same mechanic and somewhat similar games.

But with every new chapter we are getting more Perks and less maps- while the core mechanic and issues stay the same or are getting fixed with some halfassed perk. Without sounding disrespectful, I don't think we should get more chapters in a pace like this.

In my honest opinion, DbD really needs to slow down in terms of new perks and killers. It is getting harder and harder to catch up as a new player in terms of Bloodpoints and leveling (Getting perks 3 times, Leveling above P1 is useless right now) while Core mechanics like Boons (not the % are the problem, the fact they don't have some sort of cooldown or restriction is the problem), Kicking generators (without a perk simply useless), spawn of potential too strong or weak loops (Strong windows chained together or just dead zones), and many more things need tweaks or changes.

And I really miss new themed maps. I especially would've loved a map for trickster (btw I want his lobby background back) or Ghostface. I just think that if we keep this pace with releasing every 3 months a new chapter etc. will hurt the game more than it will help.

    I agree I am just getting my 8th survivor to have all perks at P3 (which I know does nothing but I just want to do it for myself). I personally want different maps because I am sick of the swamp. Trickster map could be fun and a few other killers should get new maps added even if they have some already. I would love to have another map for the huntress or the Vomit Mommy. I believe that her lore had her in a desert and not a wet environment so it would be nice to have another map like that. The Clown could have a literal circus map and that would be amazingly fun. The BP grind is real but I know they are looking into it so I believe some how it will be figured out. I would be fine with a new chapter of maps but they would not be able to make money off it because you do not need to own the DLC or Characters to go to the maps.

    They should buff old perk. such as play with your food.

    Give PWYF have 5 tokens.

    Good idea about buffing old perks... Honestly I don't know what PWYF does lol. Dark Devotion was a topic on another forum that could use a buff and I agree there are killer perks that need a buff just like there are survivor perks that need a buff. Never see self preservation or the skill check corrector that came out recently (so useless I forgot its name) maybe they need a tweak.

    I don’t know statistically how good or bad the perk is, but hypothetically I think if I was going to buff Play With Your Food it might be to have it only lose tokens on a hit. If you miss with a basic or special attack let it keep the token.

    I wouldn't be mad if they stoppped doing perks altogether
