Important

New PTB Flow

  • Starting with the 9.2.0 PTB, we are changing the way users connect to the PTB, simplifying the process we use to port saves over to test builds:
    • All characters you have unlocked via Steam will be unlocked on the PTB, including any new character(s) introduced in this update.
      • If DLC content has been unlocked via a platform other than Steam (including the in-game Store), this will not be automatically unlocked in the PTB. This content can be unlocked with the provided Auric Cells.
    • When accessing a character's Bloodweb, the character will be automatically set to Level 50 and Prestige 3, unlocking their perks to Tier 3, as well as any items that would regularly be obtained during this process.
    • All offerings, items, and add-ons will be pre-loaded with 99 units available.
    • 12,500 Auric Cells and 1 million Bloodpoints will be given on each new PTB version, available to explore Outfits and Characters in the Store.

    Extra 20% on gen kicks is insane, no wonder gen regression is getting some sweeping nerfs. You don't even need it anymore for the most part, that's nuts.

    Though, I do feel this may make Eruption in particular just not worth it anymore. The numbers obviously still work out, but it just kinda isn't interesting or unique anymore. My gut tells me it may need more adjustments.

    I can confirm that the effects of Ghost Notes and Vigil will stack on yourself. This is definitely one of those interactions that I would encourage you to try out on the PTB to see how it plays out.

    Oh, that would make a difference, actually. If it's current progression it's not as crazy, though it's still pretty nice for something you get without perks.

    Can we not nerf hope and tenacity please?

  • SoGo
    SoGo Member Posts: 4,191

    Ok, so I will write down my initial thoughts before giong to test the changes.

    Tunneling nerfs:

    1. Survivors don't need the aura reveal on killers nor the immunity from Killer Instinct. It's just overkill and not really effective either.
    2. Not being able to see the hook status or the hook aura will fool exactly nobody. People can retain information. Might as well not do this.
    3. The Haste is NOT necessary. Do not overdo this. The extra gen regression seems high, but since perks are getting nerfed in return, it should balance out.
    4. The tunneling penaties will end up very nasty if kept unchecked. I would restrict the repair speed boost to deaths on 4 and less hooks, and not do the other one at all.

    Slugging nerfs:

    1. All fine, aside one thing. The self recovery shouldn't be infinite after you get it. That will make Power Struggle hell.

    Good that you are fixing dead zones. Next up, please decrease ths number of god pallets.

    Perks:

    1. Survivor perk changes are all fine. The Hope nerf seems odd, but otherwise good stuff.
    2. THANK YOU for Ruin and All-Shaking Thunder buffs. I adore them!!
    3. Deerstalker could be left as is. Twins need it. Same with Leverage, it's not that crazy.
    4. WHY are you buffing Monitor in a way that ONLY benefits S or A tier killers with big TR? The small TR killers need that way more.
    5. Please, make it so Eruption only eats one gen kick instead of two, please. It will go to crap if this won't happen.

    To be fair, most complaints about Gen Speeds are not really reasonable.

    Probably a very niche svenerio but thankfully it seems the devs clarified that pig and onryo won’t get gen buffs for using their power, but I think there may be some scenarios they get the no regression penalty if they hook someone and then use their power to kill them before getting another hook. Needs to be changed/clarified.

    At least 50% of the anti tunnel/slug and related updates need to be cancelled for live or else this will possibly be the worst update the game has ever had. Will make a forum post going into further detail why I think this for the team's sake later if I don't just give up on this game entirely by then

    The gen perks nerfs make no sense with how much killers have complained about the gen speed. This just screams oot

    It's honestly hilarious how many people are losing their mind already over this update without having even tried the changes. And if killers end up being too weak, BHVR can still buff killers in healthy ways, like increasing the numbers of the rewards that killers get when hooking a survivor that wasn't the last one hooked.

    But most importantly, these changes will create a much more healthy foundation for DBD, where tunneling and slugging aren't as overpowered anymore and playing in a fun way is more effective now. Further balancing can then happen down the line.

    These aren't bad changes though. Yes, it would be a shame if killers ended up in a bad spot and it took months for BHVR to do something about that, but these changes are definitely healthy for the game. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if killers already got buffs after the ptb if people that actually test these changes agree that killer will be too weak.

    Plus the Buffs will actually be more impactful, if Killers need Buffs. I dont tunnel, but I know that Killers are also balanced with tunneling in mind, so if they receive a Buff, the Devs are more cautious, since you have to account for the player potentially tunneling other players.

    But if this is reduced a lot, the Buffs can be bigger, which will help players who dont tunnel. Which is overall a good thing.

    Change the Tunneling Penalties to-

    When a Survivor dies to a hook action or Mori before 4 total hook states, the remaining Survivors gain a 15% repair speed bonus.
    When a Survivor that was previously hooked is Killed or Sacrificed, the Killer loses the ability to block, damage, or regress generators by any means.

    I have to agree with you.

    The only one worth anything is Overture of Doom, and oops, it's gone since it's a Hex.
