Ghastly Gateau
"After investigation, we have found that the Ghastly Gateau offering bonus is 140% instead of 104%, but does not stack. We are working on a fix, but you are free to take advantage of this bug while it lasts!"
This was reported in the bugs forum 18 hours ago. How have you guys not issued a fix within the day? This is one of the central components of your limited event, and people are trying to stack them in every match.
This is a shining example of why people point their fingers at the developers for taking way too long to do anything. I know it's not as simple as a lot of people think, but if something this relatively small takes this long, there's a point at which the main problem is your process.
Nobody's even gonna see this forum notice, they're not gonna know. The extreme minority of DBD's audience reads the forum. There's not even a news alert in-game about it, or something flagged on the item's tooltip. Any other game would have, at the very least, locked this limited event item from use until players were able to use it properly.
EDIT: Also, the "feel free to take advantage of this bug" bit -- spinning it like this is some kind of bank error in our favor. The whole advantage is that everyone will be trying to stack them in this limited window. It's ridiculous that you're trying to make this bug look like a plus.

have you ever dealt with "red tape"? I can fix something in 1 min at my job but because of protocols...my 1 minute fix turns into 500 hours with everyone else involved.

Theres been plenty of times on more than one of my past jobs including the military in which my bosses knew that they should look at whereever I'm pointing and KEEP looking until I said I'm done... We both know the fix isnt by the book, but they dont have to say anything if they dont see it...

Honestly I'm curious how much different of a work experience working from their home computers is from working on the computers from the office. I admit I'm probably missing something MASSIVE, but... it doesnt seem like it would really be alot of extra difficulties.

This is why I pointed out that the problem is the process. The process needs to improve.

I can tell you from experience that game developers have definitely found creative solutions to keep their productivity up and their product schedules rolling throughout this global lockdown. I'm sure it's harder on some than others, but a lot of developers have risen to the challenge pretty quickly and figured it out.

As long as i can provide validation on my recommendations, my mngt will back me up and we will do a quick dirty fix...also, thank you for your military service, i have several family members that were in the military.

The only issue I could see is working on a laptop screen...I hook my work laptop to 2 24 inch monitors... I have plus 20 things open on my screen(s) at once... if i had to do that on one laptop monitor, i would 4k everyone in real life 😂

I just remember the documentation that would follow the smallest of jobs... If you replace a screw, you suppose to fill out paperwork in multiple areas.

Have anyone tried if its fixed ? Can't play right now

Its not fixed. Had a Doctor Game just now, got only my BBQ and the Hollow Shell, not the Cake from one of the Survivors.

It is very shamefull.
Yesterday I already wondered why it took them over 6 hours to fix such a minor bug, And if you can't fix it so fast...Disable the item atleast. But even that was not possible ? They were able to activate it though....
Now I read that It does work but it gives more than its supposed to for the time being ?
That's great thats really gonna help and compensate me because I have to work all-day.
You know actual work and fixing things and not take 6 hours on them.

Thats a bummer. I always liked the ability to get enough BPs during these things cuz EVERYONE is using cakes that you use 1...and you get 3+ back, lol. Makes it feel like you can throw as many of em as ya want out and you'll NEVER run out.
Threw afew lvls in Hag earlier before playin a game as her to get her crown. Came across this BW with 3 cakes, lol.

Yeah, I am also waiting for the Fix to use my Gateus. And as Survivor, I mostly play with a friend, so 208% is better than 140%, even if nobody else is using a Gateu.

Just want to say Hag will steal your cakes and not let you use them. I'd level up every other killer and survivor first and don't give her any 😁

Does not work like the trivia says. I asked a survivor and he got only 22k BP, even he was the last survivor and they played pretty good.
0 -
The trivia says it IS bugged. What are all of you talking about?
0 -
The trivia got updated since this thread was created. It used to say that the bug was fixed.
0 -
Someone edited it, it said it was fixed.
0 -
Yeah, that was a troll and the edit was reverted. Then someone removed the entire trivia section, which I reverted just now.
0 -
Maybe that survivor was only looking at the last summary page, it only shows the raw numbers you earned in the game not including any bonus BP.
0 -
No. I told him to look at the first page, where the combined BP are listed and that said the same.

Because it IS advantageous in one specific case that is the whole killer mains community. As a killer, right now, you can have 140% BP for your games instead of the 104%. Having stacking doesn't change the facts that you gain more right now. Considering you play a few games every day or such, you are at a 140% for the current games and later on you'll have 416% for free while the survivors uses theirs by stacking it.
So it's 556% instead of 520% but it's just delayed in time.
As a survivor though, it's not really the best idea since you better play with other people that uses their cakes or that are your premades so that you will have the possibility to have the efficiency of having the effect of 4 cakes while using only 1 cake. That's a 400% increase of the cake effect basically.
The killer can't do that, and having a 36% bonus effect right now is highly beneficial.

I agree with this IN PART. THey could have player tested it FIRST....Just sayin
0 -
Honestly, now that they announced extending the event, it's no big deal.
Just use the cakes now at 140% to farm even more cakes, build them up, and then once they're stacking we'll all go hog wild. (No, don't just "save them up" right now, that's a waste. Take advantage of the 140% bonus points to get even more cakes than you're using.)

Cake being fixed and event being extended. Go home everybody, it's done :)
