Is BHVR even listening?

Agreed. I have to sift GD and Wishlist to find some quality stuff like @AlwaysInAGoodShape Stuff is always putting a "hmm that would be cool" and "oh wow seeing that would change the game"Attackfrog said:If behavior is listening to this forum. they have probably blown their brains out by now...so no more patches.
If I was a game developer and this was my forum, I would read it for the LOL's but there is no way in hell I would actually listen to it.
Honestly: except for the textbooks by @AlwaysInAGoodShape ... those seem to be insightful and well put together. The arguments there are well refuted as well. With that exception, this forum is just a place for folks to vent, boast and complain. And when you factor in the 10+ "Camping is bad" and "I am mad cuz ___" each week, it is just a place for us to rant.

They take tidbits and sure may not take yours. But that is fact of life that somethings get taken in and other don't. I myself am hopefully one of the 100+ ideas spread around this forum gets taken in. While probally hope 50+ my ideas gets ignored cause there is a better version of that. Hopefully some of your quality ideas get to there ears cause im hoping all our quality ideas get noticed.
These are 5 ideas would love to see absorbed by team
1. Watch the Freddy movies while trying to rework freddy so hes immersive.
2. Legion have some perk variety even if it means nerfing them.
3. You think you can't do licenser chucky cause of his size. Why not do suicidefox idea of a charles lee ray shadow behind the doll that can do the big body work. Just put jeff in an overcoat as your body frame turn him into a shadow and have him send out chucky.
4. Two killer mode that many suggested
(Don't know who suggested first but its a common idea)
5. Yokai inspired cosmetics for the spirit0 -
Thanksnot_Queen said:We are listening, there are a lot of details involved when it comes to game development and we can't talk / communicate until we have a clear plan.
Here are the steps we are taking / took to react to the Community feedback on the event.
- Fix the launch issue - No event progression (2h)
- Sent a hotfix for crashes and the false vessel progression for survivors (Next day PC / Friday on PS4 / Monday on XBOX) Console updates take a bit more time because they need to be approved.
- While 1-2 were going on we were also busy getting feedback from the Community on the Event itself.
We came up with 4 main points: Not enough progression from the killer side / Not enough offerings in the Bloodweb / Longer matchmaking on survivor side / Not enough Bloodpoint generation from the offerings. - Once the 1-2 issues were fixed, we analyzed data on matchmaking to try and isolate the problem causing the extended survivor queues and rule out a bug.
- Then, we needed to chose to push a hotfix and decide what we could include in the hotfix that can match the Community feedback. We chose to change the Killer event progression as well as the Offering spawn rate. (for more details: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/45458/moonrise-event-balance-hotfix#latest)
- Today, we are pushing the first balance change to the killer event progression and we hope it will improve the killer's event experience and improve the survivor matchmaking. This update is to the backend so players won't have to download anything.
- We are planning the hotfix this week to adjust the spawning rate of event offerings as well as correct the text to match our balance backend changes.
Hope this helps
The rest are bugs and other issues that have been reported to QA.
now can someone close this post please?0 -
Please change this event, it's garbage as survivor. I've never been sandbagged so much. It's really frustrating. Everyone is leaving each other on hooks too.0

The devs are hiding in fear of the community they created.It's true. The player base of this game is one of the most "toxic" (aka insulting and unfriendly) I have encountered in 20+ years of online gaming.
Is this your only online game or something? This game's community isn't even in the same plane of existence as League of Legends, or anything by Blizzard.
Did you not read my entire post or something? I have been playing online games since "online" meant LAN parties.
And yes, the player base in this game is one of the worst. LoL, CoD....those are quite tame compared to the garbage that gets spewed in post game chat. The only saving grace is that I can't hear those 10 year olds screaming in my ear since I don't do voice chat.

League is NOWHERE near as toxic. Not even close. Neither is CS:GO or Dota 2 and similar.
Dead By Daylight has a whole new level of toxicity. Deathwishes, wishing someones kids / wife to get cancer, getting raped to death ect? That's just sick. And that happens AT LEAST once a week. They leave insulting comments on steam profiles and whatever other social media account is connected to it.
Wow, you didn't play LoL at all, then. Seasons 2-4 were this mid-game in every match, and then the post-game chat, and then angry whispers. And since you could naturally get re-queued with these people easily in the next few games, you dealt with it again.
There's been blogs dedicated to ######### like this, and it's a major contributing factor to the creation of the tribunal system in LoL. How did you miss that?

In that case, that's your experience from playing LoL. They implemented the tribunal system and now it's gotten a lot better, right? So how is that relevant anymore? LoL is nowhere near as toxic as DbD anymore and neither is CS or Dota 2. That's an observation I made.
My only logical conclusion: You seem to be a Survivor main that never plays Killer? I have roughly 2000 hours, 100% achievements and more or less a 50/50 Killer / Survivor ratio. I received my 500+ insulting steam profile comments exclusively when playing Killer. I know a person with around 1800 profile comments. That's hundreds of players heading over to their profile just to insult them. Where else can this possibly happen? Name me one thing and I'll check it out myself.
It's also the nature of DbD; play Killer and you'll receive hate. Play Survivor and you'll spread hate. As a result, players that mostly play Survivor will not see as much toxicity as Killers do, at least not as the receiving part.
It's an endless discussion but my opinion stands:
After 10 years of gaming and thousands of hours in multiplayer games, Dead By Daylight has the most toxic community I've ever seen. We're at a point where deathwishes should be considered "normal behaviour, get used to it".

Have to agree here. DBD is the only game where I've had to make my steam profile private.
In fact I went 7 years without having to block a single person, then I had loads - all of which were from DBD.
Killers aren't innocent though. I need to constantly change my steam name just because so many of these idiots hold a grudge because you won after they camped so hard. So next time it's tunnel and mori and they try to get other survivors to work with them.0 -
Really? I hardly remember ANY names from any games, neither ones I won with a 4k/3k+h nor ones where I got stomped. In fact, I couldn't tell you any names I have ever played against except for those who went to my friends list afterwards.
BHVR is doing everything right, from their perspective. People rage, rant, tell stories of great and horrible matches. Every DBD player has emotions attached to the game, good and bad ones. It's not a game you play and forget about. We all hate certain aspects of the game, but we keep playing even if it infuriates us. Because, at its core, it's a damn good game that we care about.
As a developer, it's better to have a game that is hated by every single player, than to have a game everybody is indifferent about. We hate the game because we love it and want it to be the best it can be. It's just that we have different opinions about what is "best".

They listen, they just don't always do what people want. Perfect example...
Community - DS needs a nerf
Devs - Lets space the hooks further apart.

(in addition to the "toxicity of DbD"...)
There's also a weird mentality going on in DbD, it's very different to other games I've played. People expect the opposite side to care about their fun and their experience - even if it might cost them the win.
Coming from very competitive games, I thought it was quite obvious that people try to demolish the other team as hard as possible. It's normal, both teams want to win and they'll do anything to achieve that. However, if you do that in DbD, you're going to get a lot of hate.
I'm still wondering why that is? I can't really understand it... Is it the mixture of "casuals that just want to have fun" and "tryhards that just want to win"? I never expect my opponents to have mercy with me, why should I? It makes no sense.
I think that's a big part of the problem, because it's the reason why people get so frustrated over a single match. This part could very easily be solved by creating seperate modes for those; Casual and Ranked.

They of course Listen but I do think they're disconnected from what the community actually wants.

I'll DBD hour flex you out of the argument survivor MAIN!... LULS
So I goto... Counter-Strike: Global Offensive store page... I scroll down... I select View Discussions to get into the Steam Forums... Then I just look over a few posts... look at a few profiles... and bam... people have comments on their profile... negative ones... related to playing CS:GO.... Interesting.
If you want to leave your comment section open to the public that is your choice... OH NO BUT I SHOULD HAVE TO DO THAT!.. WHY DO I HAVE TO MAKE MY COMMENTS FRIENDS ONLY OR PRIVATE???.. PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE TOXIC!!
So do you leave all your social media account without setting up any privacy settings?.... Leave it wide open?... I mean people or companies shouldn't use your information in any malicious way right?

Something I wish you'd have realized by now, but apparently still didn't. My profile is a representation of toxicity.How vulnerable/open I leave myself/my profile has absolutely nothing to do with the toxic behaviour of other players, it simply allows them to actually BE toxic. People are still toxic, you're just less likely to experience it when you set everything on private. That just changes YOUR PERSONAL experience regarding toxicity.
Of course people with private profiles will claim "the game is not that toxic" because guess what? How could they experience toxicity when they prevent people from being toxic?. It's like saying "The Death Valley is not that hot" while driving through it with your air con on.
YOU protect yourself from the "issue" but that doesn't mean it's non-existent.
PS; I just checked the first 10 steam profiles from the csgo forum I came across and not a single one had a negative profile comment, lol:

Something like call of duty is simple and fun. Both sides have guns, both run around trying to shoot each other.
In DBD each sides have different roles, however due to the game design certain playstyles can be unfun for the other side.
As survivor going on the hook and then having the killer stand in front of you so you cant get escape isn't very fun.
Likewise as killer having survivors run in circles around structures where you cant hit them isnt very fun either.
There arent many games like that where the design causes the gameplay to be unfun.0 -

Sort of... I protect myself from it... I, in essence, don't give it an audience. I don't allow it to happen, to me. If someone can't be toxic to me on my profile, etc... I've stopped it from happening to me.
I don't stop that person from being toxic, no. However, I do stop allowing it to happen, to me.
So yes. I feel the game is less toxic, because I do protect myself from it. I try to leave it in game and in the post chat. If people want to be toxic, they can do it in there and if they go over board I can report it. That way there is some avenue for those toxic players to release their anger, which I don't really care about. This is me though, if some are bothered by it, then they need to disable end game chat.
By not giving it an audience I stop the toxicity from happening. If more people did that, then there wouldn't be anywhere for those players to be toxic. When they have less avenues to be toxic, then perhaps they won't be?...Maybe? Who knows... I know I'm not getting it, so I don't have to deal with it.
It allows me not to get upset about it, because it doesn't happen, because I stopped it from happening to me. I have been given and use the tools available to me to stop it.
We can't trust social media companies with our personal information because they will sell it to the highest bidder. You also can't trust users of those social media companies since they have to implement privacy settings in it to prevent malicious use. Therefore, blocking comments on my profile on Steam from the public, is no different then me setting up my privacy setting on say Facebook.
We have to protect ourselves from it, especially if a person finds it upsetting. We can't sit and expect people to do the right thing all the times, because they don't. That is life.

But Dota and LoL can also be abusive. If your opponent realizes that you're bad, they will start to feed on you, merciless. It's normal, they want to win so they take advantage of your lack of skill. You're not going to blame the enemies "Stop farming me!" you're going to ask your teammates if they can help you.
CS:GO is full of campers but you're not going to call them out as "######### campers", instead you adapt and learn how to deal with them to prevent yourself from getting killed by them over and over again. You're going to playing more carefully.
In Battle Royales you're always expeting people to play in the scummiest way possible to ensure their #1. If they lack the aim skill to beat you, they're going to camp and if it works, they simply won by using a smart tactic. They avoided aim combat because they knew they'll lose it, so they forced me to get out of my comfort zone and this is how they won.
In SC2 / AoE / any other strategy game, people use "cheap" rush tactics to beat you but if it works, that was a smart move. I'm not going to flame them for using that tactic, as it allowed them to win.
I can't think of a game where people expect the opposite side to put their own victory at risk simply to provide a funny experience for the opposite side. Name me one.

camping in a battle royale is different to camping in DBD.
In PUBG holding a building is a defensive position. The opposing team has guns and has an equal chance of taking them out.
As a survivor on the hook you can't do anything.
it's the mechanics of dbd. its hard to explain but a lot of it feels unfair. I wouldn't compare it to games like starcraft anyway, I mean DBD is fun but it's not on that level nor is it that polished.

A single survivor is not supposed to be able to do anything against the killer, since this is an asymmetrical game. The rest of them together, however, can do something.

Not really. They can use BT but that's about it.
As a team they can rush gens. It works in swf because your friends win, but nobody really cares about solo, not when the devs push this "every man for himself" narrative. If the team doesn't matter and only you matter then what good is it if they make it out? what fun do you have on the hook?
However if they pushed teamwork more and perhaps gave bonus BP/XP based on how many survivors made it out alive, then perhaps that would be better.
DBD is meant to be asymetrical 4 vs 1 but the devs seem unsure if they want it to be that or if they want it to be 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 as this event has proven.

They should have just done it like they did with previous events that were actually decent. 5500 points per event gen and hook. Balance the coin gain appropriately so it doesn't break the game by making only one side gain more than the other.

I get that it's different, but the general mindset remains.
Why do people expect the opposite side to care? To have mercy? It's not just camping, it's also tunneling, looping, gen rushing, flashlight saving, DS, NOED, slugging,... ANYTHING that's not purely toxic (teabagging, flashlight triggering,...) exists to be used as a method to win.
Especially since it's a 4v1 it should be expected that there is even LESS room for fairness / forgiveness than in an even 5v5. I don't get it.
4 Players play against ONE player.
4 Players expect that this one player actually cares about the fun of the 4 opponent players.
What logic is that? If anything, the 4 players should be encouraged to make the match fun for the Killer in that case. The Killer is alone, no one to communicate or mess around with. Allow them to have some fun.

I guess nobody should care but it's on the development team to find solutions so that everybody has a fun time.
Personally I try a bit. If someone disconnects early then I'll let the last person have the hatch because it's not their fault if they got screwed.
If someone brings DS though then I couldn't care less if I play dirty with a bit of camping or tunneling, they don't care about giving me a fair or fun game so I don't care about them. Same for tbaggers.
