Statistics

Not sure if it’s common practice for game company’s to do but would it be possible to have regularly updated statistics about the game here on the forum?

Things like kill rates, perk usage, character prestige rates, add on usage etc. Would be interesting.

    The community has asked so many times to have official stats, more communication, it has asked many times for greater transparency but these are not important things for BHVR apparently, better to keep everything secret and not say anything, which makes it much more easy to make their own narrative

    We usually get some stats during the anniversary stream and we used to get Q&A streams on a fairly regular basis. Obviously they have that data, but from what I remember them saying in the past is that while they have it they don't normally think about putting in a player side consumable form most of the time. The community also has had a habit of putting more emphasis on data than they probably should and using it to make blanket statements on everything from survivor or killer balance bias to whether or not the devs are secretly ignoring [insert x issue here].

    The reality is:

    Until you get some devs in a public lobby to get bullied by flashlight spam...

    They will happily post the most damning stats that clearly showcase what the whole community have been pointing at...

    Then turn around and announce pig/hill billy nerfs for no reason
