Cancel Septembers Rank Reset

Here is my suggestion...

Since it looks like the release of the new Chapter will fall near the rank reset of September.


Maybe BHVR should look at skipping this one....


Please don't put the seasoned players back down in the new player zone so we can trash all the new people you hope to bring in during that time.

Or maybe set the lowest limit to rank 15.. so no one can be reset below 15.


Just an idea.

    I completely understand your point and would like that they cancel the reset, too. But I don't think that's something that will happen. It never did when a DLC fell near reset.

    Yeah, if there's going to be a significant influx, don't let anyone sneak upwards past 15. New players don't need that in their life

    Bloody heck I just realized that


    There's already going to be enough SWFS and killers de-piping around the time the DLC releases so they can bully and get footage for their sick looping/frag videos


    Rank reset is going to straight up murder them all hard

    All new people would be at rank 20. From what I know you can't go down past 17

    i thought you couldn't go back up beyond 15? that just seems cruel and unfair. I know for a fact that people do this too, just so they can clown on people that have no idea what they're doing. I regularly joke with my friends during rank reset and say things like " oh no, they're not gonna wanna play anymore!" when things are going a little too well.

    I think at one point they added that restriction but they've clearly removed it

    No reset doesn't matter. We just shouldn't be toxic and ruin the experience when we see baby Nancys and Steves.

    i'm sure all those tbagging survivors with flashlights and ebony mori killers would agree and stop doing what they were doing all their lives

    I frags noobs all day long because BHVR can't FIX THE RANK BUG. R1 killer stuck at R15 for the last 3 months. Soooo much blood.

    rank reset or not new survivor player will get thrashed anyway because the killer role is faster to get used too

    And that without taking into account the fact that the matchmaking is garbage and will literaly yeet rank 1 players at rank 20 players because why the ######### not

    While I hate to say a large chunk of this playerbase is like a bunch of Piranhas if they smell weakness


    Killer is weak? Prepare for 10 minutes of bming, looping, flashlight blinds at every pallet ontop of the pallet stun, prickishness until they finally get bored and finish the last generator, or the killer DCs

    Survivor is weak and has no DS? Prepare to be tunneled, slugged repeatedly and then hooked


    That's not everyone by a long shot and many people are nice. But there's still a large amount of people with no honor or empathy, and I have no doubt many of them have plans to de-pip so they can torment the incoming new players.

    Hell naw.

    Ya know how some games get "Christmas Noobs"

    This our time to welcome all the new players to DbD :D

    Well, well, well, it just shows that rank resets will never go away as no one really knows why they exist except to push more people together for faster wait times?... That kills new player's experience and they know it. I don't buy the whole rusty player just came back excuse. They will lose a few games and depip. Period. Now that I have played awhile and got some experience and perks it doens't matter as much to me. Oh, and it makes people have to grind a lot more so more playing to get BP. ahhh I see.

    I fully agree with this, especially because Stranger Things is going to bring in a lot of new people, but just wanted to remind you that Rank 20's just facing off against rank 20's, that don't know what their doing, can drive them away too.

    I agree. Also the matchmaking needs a fix. Skipping rank reset wouldn't help with how the matchmaking is currently putting low and high ranks together.
