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.

Y'all need to remember that this is a PTB

This is a PTB which means that these changes will be tested and hopefully adjusted until it makes a nice balance.

The changes are not final, everything you're dooming about isnt in the main game.

Let's all be patient and see how things play out.

(I am going to be honest though that if in testing the changes prove to be detrimental and they aren't changed at all just like in the last PTB then we are all definitely allowed to be mad…)

    Tbf if the feedback is that bad people will still say "but we should try it on live the ptb isnt everything" then once it gets fully put in then its a bunch of work to remove or fix it. Thats my main worry on this scenario but we will see.

    You dont have to be bad to want actual testing of the changes, lol. Testing it on the PTB is not really valuable, most people stay on the PTB for a few hours and thats it.

    Ideally it should take a month or so to fully test those changes and their impacts. And you cannot achieve this on the PTB.

    This is true, in theory, but I have seen way too many bad changes get pushed through to live from PTB to believe it’s going to be any different this time. Seems like PTB feedback rarely gets paid attention to.

    BHVR is more likely to push these changes live with a few number adjustments than they are to completely scrap it and try again. We have 9 years of watching at least 90% of PTB content going live.

    Yeah I get that im just worried of other times they've pushed stuff through despite feedback and left it for a while before fixing it like people asked originally. And the way the discord stream was formatted didn't give exactly a optimistic impression from bhvr either.

    IMO if people complain about the changes before we get numbers it kind of diminishes any actual legitimate complaints. If the bonus gen speed is too much but a bunch of people were complaining before they even knew the numbers it becomes easy to falsely dismiss any legitimate complaints as "these are the same people complaining before we released the numbers, clearly they're the people this change was meant to nerf and we can ignore them"

    People did last PTB, and BHVR still pushed out one of the worst chapters in this games history.

    'This is a PTB' really doesn't hold much water anymore when they ignore most, if not all, feedback.

    There have been alot of times where bad changes in the ptb have gone through, trust me the anti-tunnel and anti-slug are getting changed but I doubt anything else is

    I think their is little trust right now in the Devs and the killers are seeing major changes. Force play, anti gen perks nerfs, and increased pallets. Going to be a fun time on many killers.
