Crane tech removed?

I couldnt pull it off last round.

Patch notes say:

Autohaven Wreckers: Fixed an issue that allowed Survivors to use Dead Hard to get onto tires near a crane.

So it is written like a survivor affecting bug fix but killers dont even get mentoined?

I really liked this spot. Survivors clipping into the shack for example to abuse the small hitbox is okay but a tech on one tile on a specific map that was pretty cool if you could pull it of gets removed without even adressing it and masking it as survivor specific fix.

BHVR have struggled with Texts before, like when in the Ruin change patch it was always about survivors fun without mentioning killers in the text.

Small things like this just cause the us vs them mentallity too.

Patch notes should be precise.

    They fixed a unfair tech. What's the issue?

    for a reference I think this is what OP is referring to:

    I think, I've never seen this tech, tho. (also the video shows the amazing wraith "3 dingdongs" bug)

    But I think it was removed because it was ok being able to jump over the pallet, but literally cutting in half the loop thanks to the car weird hitbox was a little bit too much.

    On a 1 to 10 scale of things I care about related to DBD this registers as a -0.2

    Shame it got removed, was kinda fun surprising people with it and making them confused when you don't insta-break a safe pallet.

    When did it start that exploits or general things which should not work that way are called "techs"? Is this some attempt to give DBD more Depth than it has?

    the wording.

    The tech stream about hitboxes had the same issue:

    "Dont worry, killers dont get hits they shouldnt get"

    Problem with auto aim is not that killers get hits they shouldnt get, its that hits are messed up by aim dressing.

    The wording of the Devs is the reason that many people think they are survivor biased.

    These are patch notes, it should be mentioned that the bug isnt usable by players and not just by survivors.

    Killers feel unheared by the devs and this is a reason why.

    In the same patch they literally fixed survivors morphing into the hook and stopping most killers getting a hit, regardless of how it's worded, both things were unhealthy and unwanted in the game, I don't see the issue.

    This thread is not about crying because the hook tech got removed. Its about the devs wording in the patchnotes.

    The crane tech is just one example.

    I can see the bug being fixed, but thats not my point.

    imo they should do the same thing they did with the harvester tech: make it a feature.

    and add a hitbox to the crane so you cant just run over that car xD
