Introduction

Dear developers, make the game great again: bring back the old lobby lighting, graphics, animations because many players want this, but for some reason you don’t pay attention to itand if you do, then say that it will be very difficult to do it and forget about it, this post I want to show how many players want to return the old lobby lighting and not only.

==========================================================================================

Old lobby lighting

What do we have now? The lobby is very bright, it looks very bad and cartoony and unrealistic, does not give an atmosphere, and the old lighting looks very cool and atmospheric, so many want to return it, but the community manager Peanits replied:

From a technical side, there's been a lot of changes to the game including multiple engine updates. Among other things, they affect how the lighting works. While we could try to get something similar, it's not quite as simple as flipping a switch and putting the old one back in. The real question is whether or not that would be worthwhile, since some like the old one and some like the new one. At the moment, we don't have any plans on changing it back.

Yes, it’s not easy to do it, but do it for the community, only because of the community this game is alive.

==========================================================================================

Graphics

THen:

Now:

Old graphics look very pretty, right? The new graphics in the game again doesn’t seem to add much atmosphere, as it was before. The player did a survey https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/93334/old-good-graphics which graphics look better, most answered that the old graphics look much better than the new ones, is this not a reason to return the old graphics to the game? One player in the poll comments said:

Ahh it’s so sad the devs are probably never gonna change the graphics to be similar to 2016 even with so many people saying it looked better. So much more atmosphere and depth to the feeling of the game with those graphics.

We can see that many players are disappointed in you. Why are you making yourself a bad reputation?

==========================================================================================

Animations

Grab animation

In january one man wrote a post about the return of the old animation and suggested how to optimize this animation:

1) Reduce the duration of the animation by 1 or 1.5 seconds. That is: the killer grabs the survivor by the leg, the survivor resists and instead of throwing the survivor to the floor, the killer immediately throws him on his shoulder.

2) Remove the opportunity to blind the killer during THIS animation. This will only apply to this animation and no more.

3) Make this animation with a 50% chance of falling for example. That is, there is a 50% chance that instead of the wretched animation that is now, this animation will play where the killer grabs the survivor by the leg.

Many players supported him in the comments. After all, you want to rework and optimize the animation to grab why not return the old animation?

OLD pallet break animation:

==========================================================================================

Conclusion

So, you saw what the players want, I hope you make the right decision and do what the community wants. Make the game great again!

    For the general graphics they have already shown teasers of making it better and more like the original graphics.

    How much of that will make the final cut is yet to be seen.

    Hell even the graphics from 2017/early 2018 were pretty great.
