Anyone else find the game extremely unsatisfying lately?

I have not seen much difference since the Ruin-Nerf. In fact, for me it is a little bit more annoying, since I had no problems with Great Skill Checks, but have now problems with leaving a Gen. But overall, the consequences of the Ruin-Nerf are smaller than many people expected.

And hey, Survivors are now losing their Add Ons when escaping. And this was purely to give something to the Killers, there was no logical thought put into it. So far about "biased".

@Topic:

I like the game, but at the moment, I mostly play in the evening with a friend. And this is more socializing than actually playing. In fact, there are two things bothering me with the latest Chapter:

The Add On Change, because now escaping is even less worth for me. I dont care if I escape or not, but now its just not rewarding, in my opinion.

And Breakable Walls. When I read about it, I was really interested in the implementation, I thought it could give a strategic aspect to the game. But nope, the implementation is poor, I just hate the Saloon Map when playing Killer and Survivor. As Survivor, the Killer can make mindgameable Structures worthless to use and as Killer I have to break certain walls to have a chance.

And I feel when the Breakable Walls are implemented into other Maps, I might play less, because it is just a bandaid, but really, really poorly designed.

What gets me most excited are the Archives (really looking forward to Tome 3) and new Killers, but I hope they will slow down on new releases and start working on the game and dedicate ressources to it so that they only release new Content every 6 months and use the free timeframes for Balance and technical Stuff (mainly Dedicated Servers).

I been having no fun. Been trying to play a bit since I'm home with a broken foot and the virus is spreading like wildfire throughout the country. 1.5x bloodpoint event seems pretty sweet. Coming back from a long break. Usually that gets me really interested in the game again. But it isn't. I play like 2-3 games a day before I'm burnt out. I've been doing well. Winning most games as killer and that's somewhat satisfying. But every once in awhile you get into a game with survivors that all have 5k hours played and it's the most unenjoyable experience ever.

Would be nice if you still lost rank at reset. You'd think after taking a couple months off you wouldn't come back and have to play the most unenjoyable games ever. I don't even care about SWF anymore. I just can't believe the amount of players that have that many hours played. They've got the game down to a science. Really don't understand how they enjoy it still. But it's kinda annoying.

This is how I'm starting to feel.

I've only been playing a month but already it's getting into a ho-hum boring repetition where either I run into a SWAT Team who run circles around me using every exploit in the book (this team I just played was four people with flashlights, looped every chase, and had the gens done in mere minutes and of course, they're a bunch of ######### about it with the clicking of the flashlights and teabagging at the end game) or I absolutely dominate the team because I'm playing against four toddlers who somehow managed to get the game running.

There just isn't a lot of "Wow, what a great game" and the infrequency of those are really making the shine wear off of this game. I have enough Auric Cell thingys to get the next rift without having to pay but it very well could be my last one if I or this game doesn't figure out how to respark competition.

EDIT: Two months I guess now that I look. I joined this forum about a week after I started playing, which was Feb 8th

They literally aren't biased whatsoever but alrighty. People love to forget the good things they do and only remember the bad things they do.

Honestly, that would make playing the PTB so much more worth it. Play testing possible mechanics to come would be amazing. Id love to see all the Killer changes they could test out. We need to ask them about this.

The best part is, all their attempts to attract new players are going to completely backfire as long as they keep allowing fully loaded rank 1 (or ex) 2k+ hour players into some guy's third game. It happens a lot, and most folks are going to put with that exactly once.

Its gun illfonic and that was very very clear from the trial weekend. Fun nostalgia, not gonna be a competitor.

Yuppers. I just sit and stare at the ready button trying to think of reasons to play. I recently got the covid-19 bundle from humble bundle and slowly working through those games.

Maybe I’ll start playing again when the next killer is released.

I mean it was new and exciting of course you weren't bored yet lol

if you think f13 was fine pre lawsuit you simply aren't well informed lol they had to bring in a new third party dev team to get the game to the state it's in. It was a buggy monstrosity with obvious glaring flaws its whole life.

Predator copied many of these flaws whole cloth lol

They've been heavily improving the game for killers since 2018.

You're here trying to make an argument about bias when they're banning and fixing bugs that make the game unplayable. There's a huge difference. Also there are plenty of survivor bugs still in the game that haven't been fixed in awhile. They're biased to no side, regardless of what you think. Like I said, people strongly hold onto only the negatives, never the positives. If they were biased killers would be all C tier or worse.

So many companies advertise their PBE as a testing grounds, but seldom actually make use of it.

And even though they advertise it as such, people don't take it seriously, and instead use it as their "I have everything unlocked" account, sometimes taking it more seriously than their main account. But devs don't make the two servers different enough, instead opting to make tiny tiny changes here and there while keeping the game pretty much the same. Which shouldn't be the case at all. Even when there's nothing to test, they should be advertising the pbe as an experimental mess, that only people who won't play seriously and who will actively seek to break maps, break character builds, etc.

That way they don't end up splitting their playerbase with a "main" server and a "slightly ahead of schedule" server

They were on a decent track for a little while there (mostly because they hadn't screwed anything up big time), then they took a complete 180 and nerfed Ruin.

At that point, there was no doubt left. The devs revealed themselves to be out of touch and biased.

This. Especially when stupid annoying features like auto aim (which hinders more than helps) still exist.

"Yeah you try to defend bugfixing with gameplay balance that makes alot of sense."

Gameplay balance would literally be a factor if the devs actually were biased, so yes, I will use it as an example as to why they aren't biased.

Here's a fun bug for you on the survivor side. Not being able to do anything at all! This bug has been around for quite a while. You can't vault, can't do a generator, can't drop pallets, nothing. That's pretty game breaking.

And like I said, if they were biased, game play balance would be directly impacted because of said bias. So it definitely can and should be used.

I'm not sure what I feel, the matches have not been tense, fun, or really even fair one way or another.

Either I roll or I get rolled.

And neither of those are fun in particular. 0 back and forth.

But that's not new really. That's how I have felt for a couple months now.
