"Fixed an issue where The Doctor's Shock Therapy prevented Survivors from vaulting."
erhhhhmmm... mr developer.. isnt this how its supposed to work ☝️🤓
23 -
Yeah, isn’t this like the ENTIRE POINT of using the power in chase??
8 -
I kind of wish that there were rift fragment buffs in this hotfix, but i get it….. Only bugs, still sad though.
4 -
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand they didn't fix nurse's blink being a russian roulette. Or any of the other nurse issues. Some of them here for OVER A WHOLE YEAR. Somehow they thought it was preferable to focus on fixing a skin for a killer that feels like ######### to play because it is suffering from 200 bugs.
But hey, at least you can now feel like ######### without being affect by the skin!2 -
Your commitment to this change is admirable.
2 -
Quoting this because this comment is too good.
Really Behavior… you are forgetting how your killers are working now? The power is to allow him to get hits around pallets and vault points. By removing half his power, you've made Doctor worse than Trapper in one fell sweep.
5 -
I really want a dev respond to this. It could be funny
0 -
It's referring to Shock Therapy cancelling vaults that are already being performed (as in they'd do the animation but not cross the window). Pretty sure his power still works as intended elsewhere.
At least that's what I'm hoping because otherwise they just undid the Doctor Cube LOL
11 -
The Doctor's power was bugged and interrupted you to make you scream at the start of a vault animation.
3 -
So that would be the thing? This makes more sense now. The way the note was phrased makes it seem like that shocked survivors could still vault, as opposed to saying "Survivors in the midst of a vault no longer have their vault cancelled when shocked."
I just hate we have to overly question these changes time and time again because this game has had so many weird changes over time that we end up having trust issues about the devs.

@radiantHero23 2v8 is today!? So soon! Me oh MY. Look what we have here! May the blood bath begin. Oni here I come boy!
3 -
Wana play a match later today?
2 -
Why was it a high priority to fix Orela’s hook screams, but it wasn’t a priority to fix the fact that her other noises are way too quiet? Is this even on the list of things that need to be fixed, or are we ok with pay to win survivors?
1 -
Sure, I can once I get home from work.

When will you fix Kates attack on titan skin it's been over a year…..
1 -
Count me in!

so the twins remain in an unplayable state . Awesome to see that 👍🫡
3 -
What's wrong with it?
0 -
What about the other killers that are Broke? Literally almost every killer was affected. The knight has invisible walls while drawing a path or can't move it at all. Plague vomit also hits invisible walls at shack pallet among other loops, I'm sure there is many more as I stopped playing because everything was awful to play as. I heard trappers second trap laid doesn't work at all?
0 -
The Knight invisible walls when drawing patrols have been awful.
0 -
is the team aware you broke the game on linux with this patch?
1 -
I played twins today. No issues thus far? Must not be all the time. Still should be fixed though. I haven’t run into the bug yet.
2 -
Surprisingly, Ghostface feels really good to play in 2v8, he actually pairs quite well with several Killers and isn't Revealed as often as I was thinking he'd be. I'd actually say that Shroud Haste is so helpful and so good an idea, it should come to 1v4 - though not this much of it. Maybe like another 3-5%.
2 -
Can we expect another hotfix? Some killers are still really buggy like Artist still has many bugs and even the one you said is fixed is not fixed.
2 -
Yes! A second hotfix is planned, although we're not sharing info on its contents quite yet. While I can't promise it will be part of this hotfix, let me flag this pesky Artist bug for the team. To confirm, this is in relation to the audio and visual of crow swarms hitting a Survivor being delayed, right?
4 -
Will the glitch with Dracula lagging when he swaps forms be fixed soon? That's been an issue for a bit now.
Similarly, will you be fixing the glitch that causes Dredge to not always see lockers when it's inside of a locker? That's incredibly frustrating at the moment.0 -
Yes, there is still a visual and audio delay of one second when you swarm a survivor and this is still in the game despite the patch notes saying it's fixed.
But there are other bugs too: When shooting your birds, their movement speed don't increase from 24m/s to 35m/s after passing the flight path of 7.5 meters. The hitbox of your Crows is also bugged and sometimes they neither damage a survivor or give you killer instinct despite being a visual hit. Sometimes you also have a little bit of stuttering when using or cancleing the summon action for a bird.
I did a report in the bugforum but I'm really grateful if you could send these bugs to the team to make sure they are aware of it, so it gets fixed soon <3

you almost nerf all exhaustion perk 50% can't believe plz buff dh again atleast we need this need our dh back 🙏

Hi, still basically only playing Ghostface and Nemesis in 2v8 because they're the only two I find fun in 2v8.
Can confirm Ghostface still has a bug where occasionally his Reveal will be so long it sounds like the THX noise, did his Reveal timer get adjusted, is this a ping issue, or is this something to do with server validation? It happens both sides. It's driving me insane. In a few short days of dealing with this I already have so lost my mind that I want to go gut someone by the name of Sidney Prescott like a fish while phone-stalking people, sanity dwindling, please fix.0 -
please fix broken ps5 trophys

Is the second hotfix still planned or was the auric cells from the rift and 2v8 quests bugs being fixed on May 21st the second hotfix you were referring to?
1 -
They didn't "almost nerf" the perks, they gently tweaked them to be more balanced. The reason exhaustion perks were changed somewhat is the same reason generator hold perks for Killer were changed somewhat - they were too powerful and unbalanced for the way the game is being pushed more towards chases, which everyone on almost every single survey said was the most important and fun part of DBD. Not holding gens and not making it so the Killer can never catch people if they have no mobility power.
We 100% do not need 10 second Adrenaline or Dead Hard for Distance back against 95% of the roster, any more than we need 3gen setups with Eruption, DMS, and Grim Embrace back. The game needs to be balanced somehow, and the rule is that BHVR has decided long ago that Survivors aren't supposed to always win chases and outrun the Killer. They decided this around the same time Infinites, true ones, were removed from the game several years back - and the fact is Exhaustion perks could still create infinites for some Killers on some structures, and so those too were nerfed to make the game fairer. There are still a few, but they are slowly being phased out.
It's time to accept that this strategy of Dead Hard for Distance and forcing the Killer to boost you to the next pallet by taking the hit was never actually okay and was too powerful. It needed to go for the sake of game health and balance, just like Gen Hold 3Gen Meta did.
If you have the most fun in chases or being chased, and the community has said it does, it has gotta stop complaining about getting what it asked for.

Hey,
Do you know if any of the current Artist's bugs will get fixed with the FNAF update? There are no infos in the PTB notes but usually the live update comes with many fixes. In addition, the PTB version of Artist has much more bugs than the current live version and when all of these new bugs come to live servers with the current bugs, it will ruin her. The current bugs are already unfun and annoying because they mess so hard with muscles memories and feel clunky overall. I'm - but pretty sure every other Artist player is really afraid that her bugs won't get fixed and we have to deal with it for more months.
Also, do you know if any of the add-on nerfs will get reversed or she will get fair changes?
