DeadByDaylight is Now Inarguably Pay To Win

Killers have had to deal with this problem for a long time btw
Not saying your argument isn't valid but think about it - a lot of strong killer perks were locked behind DLC whereas most of the survivor meta perks were always free for new players
Like Corrupt, Pop, Ruin etc - old staples.

People are actually going to run that perk? Does nothing if a killer doesn't camp, seems like a wasted perk slot for a "they might camp"

i'm genuinly confused as to why this is only now coming to people's attention. DBD has been clearly pay2win the second they added their very first paid dlc chapter. Even if what they're doing is wrong under this context, it's a little too late to complain about pay2win after all this time has passed...

Ive seen threads saying it's p2w plenty of times over the years but the devs always say it's not because of the shrine. But with reassurance dropping and it being THE answer to camping it's just super exemplified that the game is indeed p2w.

For solo queue it will be a blessing. You also have to consider how useful it will be in endgame alone. If I am a killer I ALWAYS camp in endgame because its the best way to snowball at that point.

Fair enough, tbh there's no reason not to camp in end game, but also there's no real point in attempting the saves either w/ OTR/DS being disabled during end game and people mostly relying on base kit BT to save the hooked person, may as well just leave.

Shrine could definitely use some major improvements.

And guess how many of those other 100 perks that weren't in that list people consider really powerful.

Bubba is not free, fam.

I mean apparently every single killer always tunnels and camps every single game according to the forums, so apparently no other perk guarantees more value.

Camping causes you to lose anyway most of the time if anything this actually forces you to get some skill instead of standing there staring at someone on the hook, if camping is your main skill as a killer and ruins the game that a perk counters it, that says alot about your skill level

The shrine needs a complete rework.
1) No more "free perks" in the shrine. Only DLC perks should be in the shrine. Nobody should be unlocking sprint burst with the shrine for 2,000+4,000+6,000 shards because they did not prestige Meg yet.
2) Remove the lock out for new perks in the shrine - make it 100% random among all DLC perks. Once a perk has been in the shrine keep it out of the shrine until all the DLC has been available.

Its funny because all of those words you just typed have literally zero substance. That isn't an argument, its just scoffing.

That would be fine if this was not a free to play game just trying to make money somehow. Oh, wait a minute...

Yeah not only is the game pay to play, its (slightly) pay to win, it also has a Battle Pass, and COSMETICS OUT THE ASS!! On top of new chapters every 3 months the game is being milked 1000 different ways yet half the Gamers on here are presenting their nipples getting ready for more.

I mean yeah, you said it, just wait for shrine of secrets, it's really not that hard

When MOBA's get too many characters, their free selection doubles.
DBD needs to upgrade to an 8 perk Shrine.

Giving everyone access to the perks is a reasonable request. Nobody is asking to be able to buy the new killers/survivors with shards.

So you admit the game is pay to win for about a year til the perks show up in the shrine? A year of dbd is 4 chapters.
Also, out of 100 weeks how many do you expect the perk Reassurance to show up. Maybe 2? You have to be online and near your computer to even reap the benefit of the shrine.

You have to be pretty dang close to the survivor who's hooked, like if the killer doesn't realize something is up and you're hiding near by...idk how you're getting away with it

I mean, if you really want the perk without paying, just be patient, it's not that hard, jeez

End game scenarios or basement scenarios. 99 your sprint burst before you run in and the killer can't even catch you without abandoning the camp.

So who will win more in the year before these perks start showing up on the shrine? The person who paid for it LITERALLY has an advantage.

Do you hear yourself? Sounds very situational to me

Dbd pay 2 win is more like pay for convenience, even if you do straight up buy the characters and perks you still need to grind them with bp. But any new players not gonna spend months grinding this game as a f2p at this point, there are too many perks and bloodpoint gains are so little without bbq and stacking event bp offerings. But yeah there is no real way for someone to have max everything without spending some real money. The grind is too long for f2p players and the grind will get longer with each chapter

Literally every survivor on Reddit and the forums have been complaining about camping since the mid chapter update.
None of that even matters since it doesn't change the fact that the game is p2w when it comes to perks. Everyone things Reassurance is good, I really don't care what you have to say about it since this thread isn't arguing about how good Reassurance is.
