Stagnant Game Development Impedes

You guys have spent the better part of a decade fixing and refixing, balancing, and rebalancing this game it's sad. I have never played a game quite like this that has to be fixed so much because it's in denial that it's been broken for years. The approach is flawed.

This game should have been revamped. Five slots for survivor perks, and four for killer perks (that technically have five since they get an inherent power that's not included with their perks slots). Elite survivor status that unlocks a unique character trait exclusive to that character upon reaching a certain level with them. 1% to gen repair, every five seconds leave no scratch marks, quiet-spoken so the character rarely screams, etc. A day and night cycle mode so that if the sun comes up and the survivors are still alive they escape. This mode does not require any hooks to be made. A stealth mode where the longer the survivor is hidden the more points they earn. However, in this mode the survivor has to keep moving otherwise in 5 seconds time the Entity will try to pull them into the ground. Banners should have BEEN a thing in the game. Character creation should have been implemented into DBD by now.


And STOP making perks that give one thing but deliberately are missing a vital part that would make it viable just for the sake of seeming like you've made a plethora of perk options. Most of the perks for survivors are garbage and you know it. I don't mean to sound angry, but there's just no excuse for the snail development.

    Dwarf Fortress. World of Warcraft. Counter Strike Source. Kenshi. Rimworld. Team Fortress 2. Arma 3. Payday 2. PUBG.

    PICK ONE.

    Honestly, it just seems you don't know what a Live Service game is and that opinions differ on games.

    Maybe I've just been lucky, but this is the most dodgy PvP game I've ever played. Almost every play session you encounter some sort of jank.

    I mean, I get it. The game was built on shaky foundations and they don't have the luxury of rebuilding it from scratch. It kind of reminds of Bethesda's Creation Engine. Instead of getting replaced it gets patched up constantly to extend it's lifespan.
