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.

Gotta say, I find the censor in dbd to be one of the most poorly implemented systems in the game.

It's like the dev in charge of it implemented the most basic of blacklist filter systems, threw in every known keyword they could think of, and left it at that.

No effort at all put into this filter, it will block whole paragraphs if it detects a single keyword in its blacklist meaning even if you are merely explaining something or even just saying something non-offensive, your entire paragraph becomes this: *****************************************************

Oh and hilariously enough they apparently ALSO have a swear filter which blocks curse words with ######, why do you need TWO filter systems bhvr?

    you have to learn to swear in Russian. They seem to be completely excluded from the filter system.
    Another super useful function that was very well thought out and implemented, kappa.

    I literally said "GG WP <3 Michael Myers hooked Baby girl David" and it censored the names LOL, the names of the actual characters!

    I find it hilarious that I cannot use the word Kill in a game that is about killing and getting killed.

    Because it fits the topic well:

    This is a statement that was recently made to a friend in afterchat:

    Apart from the fact that the filter failed completely, what is your personal opinion about it?
    Is this a bit of venting or is it more of a personal attack?
