Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

1-why do we have a maximum limit for bloodpoints? it makes no sense.

2-is it possible to play with a Dev? Anyone on this forum already have played with then?

3-on the mobile version of DBD they have things like free and kinda easy auric cells, what do we (PC and Consoles players) have?

4-do devs already picked one Chapter idea from the Creation section or it is only a bit of loss of time?

Thank you for reading

    1. Because people who farm could cheat the system.
    2. Yes, Devs are human people too who also do things like stream and play video games, including this one. LOL
    3. PC has Iridescent Shards, earned through XP gains, which you can use to purchase certain items from the Store. You can also gain Rift Fragments by completing challenges in the Tome. Rift Fragments help your progression through the Archive. The Archive can award you free stuff.
    4. ???

    1-makes sense to me

    2-also makes sense, and a bit too much to my pickle brain

    3- I'd meant to say to encourage people to play.

    4- did devs inspired their selfs with at least one fan made chapter?

    To add to the above:

    1 - It was introduced to stop people from being able to hack unlimited amounts of bloodpoints. Whether it actually succeeded in that, I don't have the technical knowledge to be certain.

    2 - Definitely, a lot of the devs stream the game in their spare time, and some of them play with their viewers occasionally. I'm playing with one right now, in fact!

    3 - The reason the mobile version of the game gives out things like free auric cells is because it follows a typical free-to-play mobile game monetisation strategy. Give players small amounts of something that you charge money for to incentivise them to buy more of that thing in order to unlock content more quickly. The main game, being paid and on a different platform, not to mention run by a different team of people, has different ways of monetising. I haven't played mobile enough to compare the two in any more depth than that.

    4 - I don't know about chapters, but they have definitely got inspiration from fanmade perks in the past. While they would probably never just copy and paste a fanmade chapter into the game, it seems likely to me that they would draw inspiration for killer powers or perks from fan ideas that they like.

    Sure. The ones I know of are Peanits, Almo, not_Queen, woahItsJeff, lmclean (Louis McLean) and Ribanne, but I'm sure there are more. Peanits, not_Queen and Ribanne are Community Managers, Almo and Jeff are Game Designers, and McLean is a Gameplay Programmer. Some stream more often than others, and obviously some are better at the game than others as well.

    You can find all of them by searching for those names on Twitch. I'm not 100% sure whether I'm allowed to post Twitch links outside of the Media Lounge, so I'll check with a mod and edit my comment with the direct links if they say it's okay.

    EDIT: I got the okay, so here are the links to all their streams:

    Peanits: https://www.twitch.tv/peanits_bhvr

    Almo: https://www.twitch.tv/almo2001

    No worries - just letting you know, I got the okay from the mods, so I've edited my comment above with the stream links.
