    The map changes are definitely noticeable and are very good too. Thompson House has a new window at the top that offers a secondary way of getting down which is AMAZING!

    Interactions between the Killer and Survivor are much more intense and exciting with the removal of god loops. I no longer feel invincible, and I feel like conservation of pallets is necessary. Vaulting is 100000% smoother and I was actually fast vaulting FOR FUN because it was just so smooth compared to live.

    Changes are decent

    Unsure why every survivor main is going crazy over the removel of at least 3 god windows

    I whish they would change the appearence of some buildings but it's a major update since almost every map gets a change

    I'm unsure about how I should feel. Glad they added a window on the upstairs of T. House, but my issues stand with the amount of deadzones there are. Not only are there an abundance of them, but they are not just small areas. I hope things like bloodlust and killer mobility are looked at too. However, looping is a lot more difficult now then before, which was heavily necessary.

    I personally really like the changes to the maps. The ridiculously large maps are downsized so they can actually be pressured well. God loops are gone on most the maps. Probably one of the best health patches like, ever.

    Survivor vaulting feels so good now, you don't get sucked back to the window after fast vaulting.

    Also, Huntress' humming plays the full loop now. Making it the best patch ever.

    Map changes are good but the game is still full of the usual BS. Half the problem is the community.

    I think the Map Changes were needed, however, I also think that some structures became too weak. Like the way the new Ironworks Window is presented (NOT in the way the Screenshot of Peanits showed, I have seen it with Door and Window swapped), the Window is useless, you cannot really use it at all.

    Also I think that the Window on Abattoir is too unsafe.

    And, I have noticed Deadzones as well, especially around the Shack on some Maps. And well, in my opinion, the most skillful thing a Survivor can do is to use multiple Tiles and waste time from the Killer, by also being efficient with the ressources. But when there is just the Shack and nothing else, the Survivor might be able to vault the Window 3 times and then has to drop the Pallet.

    I dont need Bullshit like Cowshere, where the Structures are: Cow Loop into Jungle Gym into Longwall into Shack into Longwall into Longwall into Jungle Gym. But SOMETHING to work with would be nice.

    So wait Ironworks can spawn the window where it used to be and where the window is shown in Peanits image, that's where the door is?

    Exactly. But everything else is the same, so you basically cannot really use the Window.

    EDIT:

    There is a Screenshot of the Layout.

    I'm enjoying watching top DBD streams d/c constantly mid match (both killer and survivor side) because they're annoyed.


    10 minute killer queue versus 4 man bledette squads are rampant and it's hilarious asf.

    Yeah that doesn't look good at all. That window is completely useless lol.

    Well, I cant say anything a about the ptb except the gen times. Early game still sucks but I can feel the impact during mid-game. I can see the route they are going and I am fine with that.

    Now for the rest of the ptb (only played killer so far):

    I dont see the changes of the maps; because I keep having survivors bringing map offerings. Only map I went to with changes was hattonfield, and even then it wasn't very impactful.

    Games have been terrible. Out of most of my games, I got the swf hit-squads that bully you for most of the game (I am a rank 17 killer because I quit for a month when the big rank reset came by). I would say I am a low green or high purple killer, but I am not good enough to handle survivors, who atm, are at least 15 ranks above me.

    And the glitches and bugs: oh, playing drift-king Billy is impossible rn. He feels super clunky. However, some bugs do make him seem faster. On top of that, I have swings going THROUGH survivors. Not hitting, just whiffing. Also, the fact that I'm getting 150 ping with a 550 mbps download speed and a 325 mbps upload speed is dumb.

    So, in the end: I've only gotten to feel the worst of this ptb: all the bugs, no new maps, and the sweatiest teams. Maybe next time I play it'll be better, but as of now, from my perspective, survivors have decided to be like some killers were after the ruin nerf.
