PSA for everyone complaining about the DLC

in General Discussions

The release date being today was a speculation from day one, based solely on the release schedule of Curtain Call. The devs never made any official announcements in that regard, they certainly aren't to blame for you people taking assumptions and speculations for granted.

The Wiki especially, while endorsed by the devs and being the official one, is NOT run by them, but by passionate community members. We too featured the speculated release date, which was clearly annotated as being "not confirmed", in red and bold script, yet some people obviously ignored that.

If you can't read things properly or check your sources, you have absolutely no business complaining about the current situation. The devs are not at fault with this and I'm honestly disgusted by anyone threatening them with review bombs or uninstalls. I'd expect such temper tantrums from a kid in their terrible-twos, but not from grown adults, which you all should be if you play this game.

If that is your reaction to such a situation, you should honestly be ashamed of yourselves.

The devs have neither made nor broken any promises. The roadmap only specified the following:

A Chapter in Summer 2018
A Chapter in Autumn 2018
A Chapter in Winter 2018
A Chapter in Spring 2019

If it comes down to it, they are right on schedule so far.

    Ehhh, not to nitpick, but they already broke their own schedule. The Clown was released in mid-June, which was, technically speaking, still Spring. The Spirit should, theoretically, come out before the end of summer (September 21st) rather than Fall.

    All that being said, I didn't really expect her today. When they released The Clown, they announced the release date for Tuesday, June 12th ahead of time on Friday, June 8th. I feel like there will be an announcement first, like last time. So I'm expecting next week. Or possibly this Thursday.

    People review bombing is shameful, however for the people not doing threats at least the devs know we are hyped
    I would laugh so ######### hard if it DID get released today and the people throwing temper tantrems started saying the dlc sucked

    I like "Soon." It means that it COULD be today, but leaves wiggle room to not have i today too

    Not queen commenting just "soon" on here ten minutes before the speculated release time isn't exactly the best way to handle it, nobody would mind if they told us  but they won't. They were fully aware a sizable part of the community thought it was today, and did nothing to correct that.
    I agree. That trolling backfired.

    Can someone enlighten me? What's going on? Sorry I read this but it doesn't hit me. I'm gonna take an educated guess and say that people are gonna review bomb this game since the DLC didn't come on a not confirmed day. Hopefully this isn't the case because that is so immature!

    I Googled "dead by daylight Steam reviews" and it's mostly positive. The people who did give negative review talked about other things like how they got unfairly banned for blahblahblah, or crying about supposed "lagswitchers". Where is the review bomb about the dlc not coming out?

    Soon is a meme though. I've never heard anyone dev say "SoonTM" and actually release it day of.

    If people are going to go ballistic over a meme, they really should uninstall.

    Despite their fervor, the community doesn't need any more toxic children.

    How is that trolling again, soon could mean tomorrow or Thursday or even Friday. If it comes this week you and the rest blasting them will look completely foolish.

    Can't you read ?

    Coming from the peoples who said "Go play something else" ?

    As the time passed, the more moronic their trolls become.

    They could at least respect their customers, for once.

    Rather than appease peoples they rather put some oils on the fire.

    They enjoy this toxic atmosphere and are willingly creating it.

    They perfectly know their community and how it will react, they willingly created this situation.

    Didn't you see or hear that he apologized for that comment.

    You claim it's trolling because you don't agree with something. So if there's a code glitch, it's trolling, something doesn't work out right, it's trolling etc. You automatically assume that when they do something you don't like it's trolling.

    You're making a lot of baseless assumptions based upon what we use to call in the Navy a WAG. (Wild A*s Guess.) Because you assume it's done with foul intent and so you paint everything with the troll brush.

    They see their community (composed in majority of toxic man-child) being hyped for nothing, creating this toxic atmopshere.

    Instead of answering : "Not today" they'd rather make the whole shits worse with their "Soon TM".

    This one is also often used since release as THE answer to problematic question.

    As i said, i don't care about the release date too, i just can't stand these devs 's mindset and behaviors.

    EDIT: Also no haven't saw the apologies, good.
    Even themselves recognized it so no more points to argue.

    They could have simply said: "Not today". This would have been better than the "soon" on several threads.

    Just checked the review bombers. 22 sooo not really a huge impact.

    All complaining aside, cannot wait for this to drop! Ever since i saw Rin I've been waiting so patiently to play her. This may be premature but i love this killer. Everything about her looks so nice. Well done 😁

    One human found the "encrypted message" in Bible about Doomsday coming on Sunday.
    On Sunday many people gathered and waited. When Doomsday didn't come, they blamed God for trolling them.
    Another one found that date been wrong and it was next Sunday. So they gathered and blamed God yet again.
    But since they believed they continued on their quest

    and so, the Seventh-day Adventist Church was born.

    You know, people who believed something they imagined have no right to blame others. The world is full of those things and devs, just like any human being, is not responsible for you misinterpreting things in your head and going crazy about it. Blame yourself.

    The issue is that if they said not today you'd still have these same whine fest threads and post spamming the forums. Now if people would actually think logically here and remember what I said in one of the 1st flame threads.

    That it most likely wouldn't be the 11th but would instead be the 13th Thursday or the 14th Friday. Since Thursday the 13th is RANK RESET DAY. So what better day to release the killer than to do it on rank reset day or the day after. Since Friday night is basically when Sony does it's software updates.

    When Cote said "play something else" it was in the context of replying to someone who did nothing but play DbD and was getting burnt out and sick of waiting for updates. In that context "Do other things for a while so you don't get burnt out" is perfectly good advice.

    Honestly, I will be kind of disappointed in the devs if they apolagize for this. They are not in the wrong here.

    Those dates are the astronomical seasons. In popular culture, the meteorological seasons are used, which start about 3 weeks sooner at the start of the months.

    To be fair "seasons" don't really exist as its just something we as humans decided to call these strange periods of time. I mean if the turtle god whose back we reside upon decides to turn us all to ash then I don't think it will mater when they release this DLC.
