    I can live with bugs, there's lots of games i enjoy that have them.

    Lore is secondary to me, though that's not to say it's not important.

    Matchmaking feels like it'd fall under balancing anyway, as in "balancing the ranks you face".

    I like new stuff, but i wouldn't be bored with the game if it wasn't their focus.

    Lore is a nice extra, but I think the Tomes are already doing a good job with that.

    Bugs are partly the reason for why I like DbD so much.

    New Content is always great, but I certainly don't need new chapters every 3 months to have fun.

    Fair matchmaking is important, but quite a hard goal to accomplish. How do you wanna know who the better play is, if some killers don't stand a chance on certain maps while others destroy each and every survivor in most existing scenarios?

    Match making would fall under balancing the game imo. The SWF groups need balancing and matchmaking

    I understand the matchmaking is partially balance. I meant more of queue times and rank placements. My fault for mistranslating.

    I chose bugs that can cause me to be stuck or just negatively effect gameplay. Some bugs are not as important, but I do see why balance should come first.

    They need to keep to their word of closing the solo SWF gap, then they can start effectively and properly balancing the game.

    I mean,tomorrow they will test the balance details on the maps that most needed it, all that remains is for the players to try the ptb and rectify the changes that the players most complain about this ptb and the part of the balance will be finished for now.

    and well ... there is only 1 month and a half until the next chapter comes out (which seems to be licensed) and they have to do it with quality so ... work hard devs! My money is more than insured for all of you :)

    I'm stuck between bugs and balance but chose balance cause bugs don't affect everyone but balance does.

    This matchmaking is hilarious (ps4). Cant even find a game on lower ranks. But if it does, we get a rank 5 or lower killer, when all 4 of us are higher than 15. ( we started playing with the game when it became the monthly ps plus game 1.5 years ago but we stoped playing with it just before the demise of the faithful chapter came out and we wanted to start again in the past few days but we cant even get to lower ranks due to the few games that we can play in a day)

    True but Bugs can ruin the match for players, balancing as well does this. Bugs just feel more unfair since it's random.

    From Baby Dweets facing Nurses with Sharingan, to Expert Neon Nea against a Myers with 3.5 hours in the game. It's been a while since I've had a balanced match.
