Thoughts about the game. (Almost 1 year Anniversary for Me... lol ---> July 26, 2018)

When I bought this game on Xbox, there were only... about... 11 DLC Packs (Including Clothing).

OVERVIEW:


I was deciding what DLC character to buy.


It was out of these:

-The Pig

-Leatherface

-Myers

-Freddy

-& The Clown


I Chose Myers, I was a fan of the Franchise and best of all Halloween is my Birthday.

So, I played and got 4K's all around. I enjoyed playing it so Much, especially when some one D.Strikes Me... I just let them run for a mile then I'd just stalk them and right when my Teir 3 is at 99% I stop stalking.


Then Pop it when they all try to gen rush. Down all 4 of em' and plop them on the hook.


After awhile, I bought the Nightmare on Elm St. DLC.


Was The worst mistake of my life. Freddy sucks and the survivor... Doesn't even look like he lived in 2010's he looks like John Connor when he got old but still had young hair. (or someone whos an addict to Drugs..) So glad Freddy's getting that rework! Hopefully Quentin gets a redesign... ;)


The next DLC I bought after that was the SAW Chapter, it was fun, not bad just noticed in some places the Killer is weak and needs a slight buff either to the Power or to the Addons.


(Also Bought Ash, But eh. Leveled him up to 33 and stopped)


perks nERFED:


In my opinion, OG D.Strike was fine for me all I had to do once they plopped off my shoulder was just tunnel and down em' again. But, I do understand why people hated it if you are a slow moving killer or if they used it at the end of the match by an opened gate.


OG M.O.M is alright, Was frustrating if it activates at the end of the match, but eh no one really uses it much on Console anymore.


Ghostface:


All the Leaks were super exciting! Thinking Ghostface and having Sidney was Nice and super hype worthy! But, once news came around that Sidney was never going to be the survivor and that Ghostface was just a killer... Kinda killed the hype for me. Especially since there's no maps that he really fits in except maybe the game and Lery's.


But, I was still happy another Horror Classic was coming to Dead by Daylight.


Once he released on PTB I was excited to see this A Teir Killer... He ended up being a replacement for Freddy.


After a couple of patches, Ghostface went from F Teir to S Teir. But That's where I draw the line...


His Buff IS SUPER Strong against survivors. With his current buff his exposed should be reduced. Or something about him needs to be slightly nerfed. (Reference to No0b3 and Ohmwrecker)


So overall He's a great killer now.. But needs a slight nerf to balance things out.


Killers vs survivors:


How do I explain this...

At least evenly without much hate...

Killers are favored at least... 55% of the time while Survivors are favored at least 45% of the time.

Like Survivor Perk Nerfs = Killer Favored

EGC = Killer Favored


Ect. = Survivor Vs Killer Favored and Vice Versa.


I do understand Survivors do have things that make the match super hard for other Killers but, Killers also have things that over power the survivors greatly. All I ask is that 5% of the Killer's Favor-ability goes to survivors to make it even.


(Statistics are based on guesses)


Thoughts on game in a whole:


Fun! Amazing! Some of the community members are toxic and harsh on the forums. Which is understandable since if you get screwed you would probably be angry too.. Lol.


But alot of the community are nice!


(Community Members = Fanbase)


The Dev's are cooperative and actually listens to the community (Unlike Treyarch, Bethesda, EA ect.)


So Yeah, Overall The game is great, found more YouTuber's and Streamers to watch ect.


End Thoughts:


This post was made because it is close to my anniversary of buying the game. I just wanted to provide feedback and my thoughts on the game and controversial topics. I just wanted to explain my experiences with the game!


(Also still hate an Idea of a "Paid Battlepass" and no please don't comment on this part lol)

    I think with balance and nerfing maybe a game could buff the stuff around the strongest thing. So you don't hear things like nerfs at all. Know that makes a bigger task but then you please both sides with them feeling added something to there game.

    Also found ghostface unessential with legion specially since they had this funworld license for a year. The fact they didn't get other half of license this year and are now releasing it is to profit off franchise. Also worries me about dbd future cause whats stopping them from looking for a cheap hockey mask licenser and calling him vorhees. That is 100% copyright legal as long as character is not called jason. I think only way i could accept bootleg ghostface if it was the iconic bootleg ghostface from scary movie. Also would need survivor to be doofy or cindy from the movie.

    You said don't comment ......but the 250+ hour gameplay grind for a nice cosmetic thought be fixed with archives. I was so mad it was a battlepass. And some may say its not called that but it acts and functions like one. That is really only acceptable in a free 2 play market cause then its just greed on top of it. So if dbd isn't free 2 play then they belong with the great ea and activision cause this is a tactic that those companies love :D New players buy your base game then dlc afterwards then they have a cosmetic shop which outfits cost more than chapters. Those prices then can make the premium battlepass track seem more enticing.

    I think alot of people have forgotten dbd has used Red shell spyware on us. Yes they told us they removed it but at the same time. It displays what kind of marketing campaigns a gamer interacted with before playing the game. If there putting in shady stuff its because they know we will swallow it. Whatever it told them with red shell probally conveyed to them that.
