The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Do you agree with the Devs saying theres no need for a game health chapter?

Just wanted to know whats the overall opinion of the forums are.

So I think they said that the Team is big enough for both, fixing the bugs and creating new content.

Do you agree with that?

Or just to make it easy:

If you think they should make a chapter focus on game health type in Yes

if you think theres no need for a whole chapter to focus on game health type in No

    Yes, they should focus a chapter on game health. Honestly I wouldn't mind if every other chapter was a game health chapter.

    Yes they should.

    I wish they did a health operation, but sadly that doesn't get money so probably won't happen.

    Yes I wish they would do what R6 did a couple years ago and do an operation health chapter but maybe they will if the new gen consoles have problems still optimizing DBD

    Well, personally, I'd rather see a chapter spent locking the system down from hackers, and tracking lag spike players, and so on so that that scourge is dealt with.

    I'm probably missing something, but game health was what I thought the mid-chapter was for primarily?

    I'd be in favour of a health chapter, but I'm not aware of what a lack of new characters' impact would be from a financial and publicity perspective for them. If they would be hit hard, then the health chapter may also be affected.

    It would be an idea I'd be on board with, but I'm not sure how viable it would be.

    Personally, other than dc's, my experience of the game currently is very positive. In terms of skill, I'm facing the right people, even if the ranks are off.

    I suspect it's different folks that design killers/survivors/perks than the ones who would make game/engine optimizations - it's never gonna be an either/or thing. I think the problem is, this games code is so spaghetti at this point, even slight changes to improve one thing hurt 5 other things... and suddenly make Freddy walk on his head.

    Yes, there are way too many problems in the game as of now that deserve immediate attention (optimization, bugs, server latency, etc.)

    not to mention, a LOT of these issues have been going on for years, like the memory leak issue and horrible optimization. The game really should not run as bad as it does when the graphics really don't look demanding at all.

    For me the biggest one is Latency... just really kills the fun for me, and it's probably the one they can't really do much about.

    I am not really sure how servers work, but I wonder if there is a possibility that servers can be bad? Or is it simply a bad connection between the player and the server.

    Yes, fix the game first of all

    this game is in desperate need for a game health chapter

    I have a pretty good idea on how servers work, they need spaces to rent, they need to pay for more CPUs, better connectivity, better internet throughout the world, it's a huge process but it's worth it, it keeps your players happy.

    And I agree, I cannot stand the latency.

    Personally, I would be fine with 2 new Killers/Survivors each year and 2 Chapters just for Health or Balance (or simply experiments like buffing some Perks and see how they play out).

    But they said that their team increased so that they dont need to do that, and to be honest, there are more changes than like 1 or 2 years ago, so this might be true.

    I also think BHVR shouldn't do a health only chapter... only because every time they "fix" one thing, they break two more and I dread to think what'd happen to the game if they literally just focused on attempting to fix anything.

    they should focus on their mid chapters being about health not a full one in its entirety

    Yes, I feel like they should devote all of their manpower into fixing the issues and re-balancing the game for now. I'd rather have fun with the game now than have a new Killer and Survivor, etc. with a bunch of issues adding onto the already massive pile.

    The mid chapter patches are the health chapters.

    Me when Devs said no need for a health chapter like my girl Nurse isn't the floating poster child for a bugged character:
