Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Grade Rewards

Was thinking grade rewards could include Shards & Rift Fragments, would make it a lot better imo, doesn't even have too be too much, would be a helpful addition, you can suggest how many of each for each grade if you wish.

    I would love to have additional competitive mode with falling and raising in rank. And for those I would give players Shards as rewards. Grade needs no skill to max and gives non-interesting rewards.

    But this is my personal opinion and I know that lots of DBD players don't want to face tryharders (eventhough they often tryhard by themselves)

    I don't think its neccesarily a problem of being "scared" I believe the player count just isn't high enough to host multiple game modes

    Game has 30k players on steam. It is gonna be almost the same amount for Epic Games. Current queue time I personally face is under 30s for Killer, under 60s for soloQ and under 2m for SWF.

    I personally don't mind to wait 2 mins for a match.

    But there is solution for players who want have a quick game. They just select all checkboxes and press "Queue" button.

    And just to compare. I play Mortal Kombat 11 which has ranked, casual and other fun modes. The game has 1700 players (DBD 30000+), and queue time there is under 2mins for any match.

    And I know that MK needs 2 players instead of 5 (2.5x more). But DBD has at least (17,6x times more active players).

    They're not going to give more shards. Or if they did, it would only come after reducing the way players currently get shards.

    As a player who has spent very little money on this game I'd love more shards, but it's not going to happen.
