Why PTB (on PC) is closed by now? Is it new update coming in a few days? I've heard that it's coming 2 weeks after PTB but when it's closed now I don't know. Thank you for help :)

    I can not freaking wait (PS4 player here so fingers crossed, but should come quickly because the big micro transaction is out of the way). Hag and trapper are my two favorite killers to play, but you have to be on your A game to play these two in red rank. Maybe not anymore . I can give my nurse and Billy a break from try hards

    i'm ok with being overlooked as far as playing on console and not getting the dlc till later.... but they really screwed asia over bigtime.... i wouldn't mind if they got an additional cosmetic. maybe a kabuki outfit for the clown or something. not trying to sound racist. i just think it would be a nice gesture....

    Please give them a free 5k shards. Soon they’ll lose out on the log in bonus if they wouldn’t play until clown. That’s messed up

    i think a free exclusive cosmetic would be alot cooler and more functional than a few thousand shards.... but anything beats nothing....

    I really hope it is this week on all platforms.

    I want to see what all the fuss is about regarding exhaustion and try out the buffed Hag/Trapper.

    Any guess for console release? I can't wait for trapper buff.

    They said to expect a two week notice for the update.

    When the PTB hit, that was our two week notice.

    One week was the PTB, next week is the update. It's coming soon and thankfully.

    You don’t deserve any compensation, it’s not their fault ps4 is slow.

    They probably cancelled the PTB because survivors couldn't be bothered to test stuff that affects them and maybe get it changed before release.

    Once it goes live, I'm planning on telling every survivor who complains, that they missed their chance to change the nerfs.

    Could be a same day release on all platforms since it’s just a balance patch.

    To be fair there was a lot feedback on the exhaustion nerf and the devs responded to it during the last stream. It's clear that they already decided the nerf is coming. The only thing people might have talked about are some of the perk changes and probably the hag/trapper buff from the survivor side of things.

    I personally expect the 2.1.0 patch coming soon. Maybe with a few tweaks, but mostly like it was on the PTB.

    Hope you're right, bud. Because I am so sick and [BAD WORD] tired of every match in the live server having BNP.

    I know man, I am too. However, I got your back, I watched the Q&A where they specifically stated there would be a 2 week notice and one of those weeks is the PTB.

    So update next week, if not you can yell at me all day.

    Well if they release with all the nerfs for survivors, good luck with lobby waiting time. Monster Hunters release looks very attractive now

    The nerf is coming. But Survivors could have helped to adjust the actual numbers of the nerf. Devs even said that they should play on the PTB. But since they missed their chance to soften the blow...

    Y'know, Survivors keep saying that, but recent changes resulted in a new peak number of players two years after release, and the average number of players has also increased with the recent changes. Maybe it's just time to admit that Survivors are overpowered and needed to be nerfed.

    That's because playing on the PTB and giving informed feedback requires some effort.

    Well they will release with all those tiny nerfs. I am really confident about the killer lobby waiting times. They usually only go up, when a new killer is released. Since most survivor mains want to test the new killer in ranked matches, rather than testing them with KYF.

    I find it really funny how survivors continue to threaten killer lobby times, when they just got some minor nerfs. While the game has been terribly unbalanced towards survivors for the past 2 years. When killers complained, survivors told them to git gud. I really can´t remember any 45+ minute ques for killers. But i remember how the steam forum was literally on fire during last October. When survivors had 45+ minute ques and then got dodged. All because killers stopped playing killer.

    BTW. I am also looking forward to MHW. Maybe your survivor lobbies will go up, if so many killer mains leave, because the survivor nerfs are just not enough. Who knows :chuffed:

    It´s easier to just go on reddit and cry about how killer sided the devs are.
    Since players who out themselfes as killers get downvoted into oblivion, there is no real dialog or anything.

    which numbers? Exhaustion doesn't regenerate while running. That's it. There were some complains about Sole Survivor and the BNP numbers, if I remember correctly. But not much.
    But to be honest I belong to those people who only tried out the changes in KYF and than had barely any intend to play public PTB. Changes are quite minimal and I still have to grind bp for my killers.Besides the waiting times were far too long for both sides. The PTB never really pulled off quite well.

    The BNP numbers could have been different if survivors would have bothered to play. Even the exhaustion perks might have gotten a shorter recovery time, IF the numbers would have shown that the recovery nerf was to harsh. But yes, those "hard survivor nerfs, that will be the cause for many survivors to leave" are just some minor tweaks, which won´t really affect most of the chases anyway.

    Yeah, but Survivors have short memories. They forget that the Killer strike did have an effect, and probably forget it was even a thing in the first place.

    I believe he means it as To Be Honest.  However I would have used IMO (in my opinion) instead.
