Dang BHVR, is this true?

A buddy on my friends list got jailed for telling someone who disagreed with him that they needed to "calm down" repeatidly when that person was no more heated or uncivil than he himself was. The jail was reversed maybe a month later and we all move on.

Fixing ruin will give more accurate data and therefore they can balance the game much more easily.

It would if they'd fix matchmaking. And improve pipping system, or at least revert rank reset changes. Right now too many people of way too different skill levels are at red ranks.

True.

Your right, alot of problems CAN build into something major. The devs are fixing things though without the requirement of "just bring so and so perk". Your seeing less and less overly safe pallets and HOPEFULLY asylum gets a visit soon. At no point did they try to sell the idea that a single perk would fix all my problems. If Hangmans trick was REQUIRED to get a hook in other than basement hooks, that would be #########. Thats not the case though, and the perk only acts to do what all perks do which is to improve upon something while not being a necessity.

As far as Coulrophobia in your example, many changes have been made since release to avoid situations like you stated. Perks have been altered, maps tweeked and items changed. Instablinds are no longer a thing so no killer ever feels like Lightborn for example is required.

This here is no longer possible, so someone isnt gonna think that STBFL or something is required. These arnt bandaid fixes, the devs worked to change the problem rather than sell something to hide the symptoms. The game isnt perfect and still a WIP for alot of things (Asylums main building is still a pain), but I'm not seeing any perks that are deemed REQUIRED to fix something rather than just aid in 1 aspect of the game while the devs have acted to make the game playable without perks.

Pretty sure its just a warning before getting banned. The mods message you to let ya know what you did wrong to land you in hot water and if you continue to act like that while jailed, then you get escalated. I know from personal experience the mods are pretty sensible. Typically Rizzo will hop on a thread to remind ppl to stay civil alot of times.

I post alot of screenshots like this one sometimes and when I posted 4 on one thread and accidentally posted an uncensored one... Rizzo edited the post to remove the screenshot and messaged me to let me know. I replaced the screenshot with a censored version and all was fine.Even though TECHNICALLY it was naming and shaming since it was uncensored, due to me acting appropriately to the situation no action was taken against me. Afew months after that, I actually got my red PFP and "Forum member of the month".

I think jailing stops you from creating threads, and maybe restricts how often you can comment as well (not sure about the second thing).

While he made a couple of good points most of it is just speculation due to the wording of the dev post regarding the changes.

Now of course they want to make money its a business. Now that being said band aid fixes have always been a phrase used by the community. The way this video is done tbh doesn't show anything we haven't know about certain perks since ruin came out.

Making a DLC with attractive characters and perks make sense for any business or why would someone buy it?

Now the whole video is speculation on how they believe the devs think. Quite frankly the YouTuber themselves has always been one to make controversial videos for views as it is how they get paid afterall.

They also don't touch upon the changes to both sides and you see why as they stated themselves they are a baby survivor. The survivor changes over the past year and more have been for killers fun. Those of us who can see past some words use common sense to see this.

Both sides have changes and both sides gets nerfs along with buffs at times.

The retention of new players for any game is an issue. Let's be honest how many of us on pc with steam have games with less than 10 hours! Not every game is for everyone but making the new player experience also helps the veterans. The larger the playbase the more there are to play with and it keeps the game alive.

The numbers have been growing since the devs bought the game in 2018 so I'd say the majority just enjoy playing the game as its a known fact that very few visit forums at all. Generally game forums are a place where players go to complain.

Now the match making was fine up until a couple of months ago. There have been issues in the past but none like this.

The problem does seem to stem directly from the implementation of dedicated servers and the change to swf match making.

Now the chnage to swf matchmaking was of course done so new killers weren't being put with high ranks. The change was for killer if you think about. The side effect of it is less killers for the amount of survivors at red ranks due to this so the search widens. The issue they tried to fix for killer players has created another one for them which they have said they are working on fixing and hopefully soon. This wasn't touched upon in the video which seems strange to myself as its a major point imo.

Over all I think the person seems upset they got jailed and why they touched upon it and said the last line in the video. They were also highly vocal about the battle pass in the past and posted many time that people with the fear of missing out are being taken advantage of with that type of monetization.

Streamer/gaming relationships are funny to myself as I don't understand why so many hang on their every word. They are just gamers like the rest of us and the vast majority know little to nothing about actual game development but at the same time think they should be able to dictate how a game should be.

Hawkings (pretty much 85% of the pallets): including corners, upstairs, any hallway pallets.

Badham Preschool: Pallets around rocks and cars.

Lerys: Middle pallets, some of the hallway pallets.

Shelter Woods: Pallets around rocks mainly because there aren't as many tiles.

To name a few.

You cannot possibly mindgame a big portion of the pallets because the killer just builds up bloodlust and uses it to go around and get a hit. Yes in some cases you can leave the pallet and just take the hit to go to another "zone" but if you're already wounded chances are, you are better off just running around to a dead zone away from all the gens (to give your team a chance to repair) before you go down.

Obviously I do agree that there are many safe zones in many maps. I also agree that the windows specifically in structures need to be reworked. I actually made a separate post about that in the feedback section: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/117198/an-idea-to-balance-super-strong-windows/p1

Only because I find it unfair that as a survivor you can break chase and decide you want to go back to that window while preserving pallets around the structure.

Anyway. My main point was in response to the part of the video which is that bloodlust don't shorten chases, by pointing out how many strong loops there are but doesn't acknowledge the the reworked maps have come with a vast number of unsafe pallets. I'm just giving my opinion from both playing survivor and killer.

It's not just because of the matchmaking. Even though it is a big problem at the moment.

Ruin is much less used at lower ranks, but it is still used, and it's just too good at those ranks. Ruins power does not depend on the skill of the killer at all. Which means no matter the skill level and rank of a killer, it will always be the same. But it depends on the skill level of survivors at hitting great skill checks. So it scales with the skill level of survivor, but not that of killer. Which is why Old Ruin is a problem. That and because it's insanely RNG based.

Of course you could argue that people need to get better, but hitting great skill checks should not be one of the most important skills to learn in a game like this. It definitely drives some players away. Heck you could argue that even at high ranks, Ruin made too much of an impact solely based on if survivors were good at hitting great skill checks or not. I don't think that should be such an important skill, and should have such an impact on the outcome of the match.

I'd rather have that bandaid fix removed and the game balanced better at base. It's just a shame map reworks have been so incredibly slow, and adding a second objective would need so many other changes to happen alongside it.

BHVR is compete garbage, idk why you guys still have hope that they'll fix this game. It's been ######### broken since release and keeps getting worse.

Church yo.

Yeah I was 30 day banned for calling out how ######### the battlepass is as a business practice under the rules of "insulting members" because it was taken as an insult to the devs, and that's the "same as insulting another member". They DO NOT like being called out.

I however, love seeing it.
