Let's rename the PTB to SPB
I think the Public Test Build should be renamed to something more fitting. When they use the PTb, they throw the new patch onto it, leave it there for a bit, and then release all the changes to the Live server, without any real changes.
So let's be honest about what the PTB really is. a Sneak Peak Build.

Pretty much yeah, in any other games, ptb gets multiple small updates (The server one barely count but i'll give it to them for this one) so we can find a middle ground about balance and make it better for the live launch.
In DBD, they tease us with the changes, do barely any tweaks and throw it live as is, do 2 small streams where they barely adress the issues, and then radio silence until the release.
Amazing communication with your community, really good.

exactly. They aren't really testing anything. They are showing us stuff.
Sure, if something is really really wrong, it gets fixed. But let's be honest. They knew about those problems before they showed them to us.
I honestly think they need more Devs. Because the lack of people working on this project is the only explanation i have for the following.
Refusing to hotfix legion mending exploit, and instead banned people.
Refusing to do more then 1 iteration of PTB before a build goes live.
Choosing between live streams and "community events"

You're wrong. They study the stadistics and all the info collected from the ptb and if everything goes as good as before, they don't change anything. Some discarted examples are the self care buff, the old ds omega skillcheck buff, the hatch closing in the 2.0.0,...

They did actually do more than one iteration of the PTB. Remember how the EGC timer was set to 2 minutes instead of 3 and how they tested different gate opening times?

These forum babies give me a headache. You would all find something to complain about if they talked to us more. Look at how BHVR get downvoted anytime that they speak on here.
