Live Q&A: Post your Year 4 questions here!
Last Friday we held our largest dev stream to date and revealed all sorts of new content, features, and details about the coming year. This includes the roadmap, pictured below in case you missed it:
This Thursday, we will be holding one of our usual, small, nowhere near as glamorous live Q&A sessions on Twitch (we won't even have a live band this time). Nevertheless, if there's anything that you have questions about, feel free to ask them here. We'll collect some of the best questions and answer them live on stream.
Quick rules
- One question per person
- We cannot reveal new information (e.g. "Who is the killer for chapter 13?")
- Questions only: Any posts that are not questions will be removed
Comments
-
When will the Archive go live?
6 -
Will Console Queue times ever be looked at?
Will it be fixed? Will solo survivors get any Love?
3 -
Is im all ears June fools joke?
1 -
In the roadmap (beside the freddy rework) we dont see other killer changes/rework.
This means there are no plans to rework or change some powers or addons for some killers? The 3rd 4th and 5th blink for the nurse for example is a big issue
11 -
Has the team looked at removing secret offerings from the loading screen? There's few enough potential secret offerings that this prevents them from being a secret.
5 -
When dedicated servers go live, what the possibility of crossplay or even just transferring data? I really want to play with my pc friends but I don’t want to lose all my data on Xbox by switching ya feel.
12 -
What is the potential for a sort of, free roam campfire? As in, being able to explore the area either offline, or waiting for a lobby. I hope this is something you can look at.
19 -
I know the battle pass is still a WIP but can you clarify a few things?
The battle pass cosmetics - will they be unique every season? If so, will one be able to purchase a pass to get cosmetics they have missed during a past season? Or will they be limited edition only to that specific season.
PS Happy Anniversary.
9 -
Is Michael Myers Mask from Halloween (2018) on your radar for this year?
6 -
When will the MoM rework go live?
5 -
when will we see Loot boxes come into the game?
1 -
delete noed when?
7 -
Will the cosmetics in the 'battle passes' of the archives be exclusive and only available for the 3 months, or will it behave like the archive itself that stays in the game permamently?
2 -
About the Freddy Rework.
Is Freddy losing the aura reading when survivors are in the Dream World?
13 -
With all the platforms and new ones incoming will Cross Play or Class Platform be a thing ?
8 -
will Sidney Prescott ever join the game?I mean it already a bummer were missing Nancy Thompson (80s movie ver) and Sally Hardesty
2 -
Are there any plans for graphical improvements of the game (particularly) engines? If so, what’s the goal for this year?
6 -
Are you still actively buffing or reworking weaker perks?
5 -
Why'd you be willing to deteriorate your game with a Battle Pass when you're not even a free-2-play game?
6 -
Any changes to your meta? 3 years Nurse and Billy have been the strongest and 3 years killers have had to put up with Self-Care and Adrenaline. It's getting old.
5 -
When will the first Charms be added into the game? Will it be mid Chapter 13 with the first New Archive/New Rift?
3 -
Is Freddy losing his dream tracking ability? As in he will no longer see the auras of sleeping Survivors?
9 -
Any plans to include more community created content into the game? (skins, perks, map ideas)
2 -
Will cosmetics from the rift be purchasable in the store like the Hallowed Blight or Moonrise cosmetics? Or will they be limited-time only?
9 -
With the dynamic map rework happening, is it possible to list the map "seed" at the endgame screen and/or have the option to enter it in a KYF match so that the static map can be used for KYF fun or community-based competitions?
3 -
Will future map rework milestones also mostly focus on one specific map or is it possible that we will see several maps reworked at once?
2 -
Are the cosmetics that will be unlockable via the rift be timed exclusives? Or will they also be able to be purchased within the in-game store at a later date? I’m really hoping for the latter.
3 -
Can we get more info on the rift and how it will work? You guys said it can be earned through "Play time". Are you talking about shards or something else?
4 -
Are you planning on "updating" any other killer's power now that you've solved Legion's problems ?
For example poor Leatherface could use some "updating".
12 -
Now that we have 5 different versions of the game, will you introduce a "DBD account" so that we can transfer our save data across platforms. I feel that many people are turned off playing on different platforms due to the massive grind for perks and add-ons.
16 -
Will cross platform be available once this game comes to switch and mobile? Because the player base would shoot up in numbers.
7 -
When do the team normally begin the process for the next killer? And will a fan created killer ever be used?
0 -
What is your current thoughts about the balance of Dead by Daylight? (What is your stance?)
2 -
When's mettle getting nerfed, and why did the balance team think it was a good perk in its current form? I have told people who don't play the game about how it functions and they all agreed it makes no sense and is broken.
7 -
When exactly will the Dedicated Servers come?
0 -
Can you go through other ideas you had in mind when reworking Freddy?
3 -
Will we lose all our Freddy Add-ons when the rework goes live?
Many of us Freddy mains have gathered a boatload of add-ons for the current character, but these don't seem to apply to his new power. Will all of these disappear? or will we get some of his new add-ons in their place?
3 -
Currently hiding in lockers isnt really viable due to the noise a survivor makes when entering, which killers can easily hear even without stridor or headphones from a pretty large distance. Are there any plans to let perks like iron will or calm spirit affect this?
5 -
Is there any plans to add more objectives for surviors todo besides gens, so the games can last longer and both sides can have more fun?
7 -
When will we be getting the missing Ultra Rare add-ons for some killers (Nurse, Billy, LF, Doctor's 2nd one, etc.)?
2 -
Will they change moris, the most unbalance stuff in the game? Perhaps a possibility for survivors to escape, like Overcharge.
0 -
What are going to be the minimum requirements for the mobile version?
0 -
will pig get tweaked anytime soon?she is a very underwelming killer right now,even before the endgame changes she already was lacking in terms of power and such...
6 -
Are there any plans to help lessen the grind.
3 -
Can we please have a "known issue" board for bugs?
The "bvhr read" function is barely used and bug reporting without feedback feels really frustrating.
5 -
Is Haddionfield on the list to get reworked if so is it a priority after preschool to rework haddionfield as most killers including myself cant stand the map and just dont enjoy playing on it.
8 -
Can you elaborate more on the Matchmaking changes? Like will there be an option to match based on latency, or rank? While both matter, latency is by far more important to me, but should not be exclusive. Anything over 140ms, and I leave, no matter what.
0 -
Can you give any information on plans for Leatherface in the future?
Even if you can just say whether you plan to simply buff him or are considering a rework.
Thanks!
1 -
Are there any plans to add a secondary objective? Many people in the community including myself have been asking for it for years.
4 -
Could you add an after game bonus BP & XP balance modifier, to the side (killer or survivor) that is deficient in players? For example, when there aren’t enough killers, give killers a bonus modifier in proportion to the disparity between the number of killers playing and the number of survivors playing. The same for when there aren’t enough survivors. This might help balance out the sides.
P.S. Adding a meter bar to the main screen showing the current status (too many killers-balanced-too many survivors), would be nice as well.
