BHVR "Transparency"

So the recent QnA has really REALLY agitated me.



Legit 90% of the questions were met with "We can't say as we haven't confirmed anything"


Then WHY would you choose the question? It's not like anyone's surprising you with these questions. You have time to prepare answers!



As to the whole "We have ideas but we won't say them"

WHY THE HELL NOT? Wouldn't it be nice to hear what you guys had in mind? You guys hardly ever tell us things anyway. I get the whole licensing stuff but what does balance changes have to do with it?


Please stop it with these baseless answeres that give us absolutely nothing!


If this gets moved to feedback and suggestions then we know why.

    I mean they did say a lot. Perks they were working on. Killers they were looking at. Don't act like they didn't give us a decent amount of information

    All the perks they mentioned No one cares about. The only thing I could find good about the QnA Is that clown is next for a rework/changes. Everything else didn't really matter. They aren't looking at what's an incredibly high topic Decisive Strike.


    The information they give is information that very few people care about. They ignore the contraversial things when THATS THE MAJORITY OF THE ISSUE!


    I know these guys can do better but COME ON. It's so irritating man. It's been this way for years.

    I'd debate with you on that but you have a point about #2

    I fail to see how it is xenophobia or implies Chinese people don't understand good will, it seemed more like he was implying it is less impactful in the chinese market due to Government control of most corporations in most industries. I'm not on about the ban at all I just want to know why and where you think these were implied?

    I understand you have to pay your bills to China, but in the Western world, there's a thing in business called "Good Will".

    Please try and show me how that doesn't sound condescending and boarderline xenophobic, implying BHVR kneels down to suck off China (minority share, btw) and Chinese corporations don't know what good will is.

    As a video game programmer. I don't work for BHVR, but i'll tell you why. BHVR is not a massive company, they don't have a whole 2-3 squads of testers to find every single bug that the THOUSANDS of players can find a day. Next to that, a game like Dead by Daylight has SO MUCH CODING! Like have you even gone into the coding of this game? It's nuts! Do you even realize how hard sound interactions are for coding? Well that's like at least 30-55 % of this games code, just to give YOU - the player. A horror atmosphere.

    So yeah. There are a lot of bugs because this isn't exactly the easiest kind of game to create. It's not just some generic map, that has a few generic character models, with only 80 sound files to shoot guns at each other. I know I give the Dev's a hard time around balancing, but when it comes to bugs. Honestly people need to stop and think for a moment that video game development is not your profession, so just assume the developers are doing all they can to fix the bugs in their game. They are professionals, you are not.

    1 Being condescending has nothing to do with if something is xenophobic

    2 Where is prejudice shown against the Chinese people?

    3 Yes it is implying that BHVR are trying to appease their shareholders something all companies do

    4 It is not implying Chinese corporations don't know what good will is, just that they don't need to care about it due to the governments past and current banning of competitors to the state owned corporations, If you want to see goodwill in china look to the small businesses.

    Can we not turn this topic into a topic about bans, because that'll quickly get locked! Plus it's off topic to the discussion at hand.

    Well I have no clue what things were talked about and either way it seems no one paid attention to that one word that indicates a lot more. Maybe you didn't mean that some things were guaranteed but obviously you guys are looking into things so thanks for the tip.

    @Komodo16 fortunately I was talking about upcoming in the broadest sense, there's always something upcoming, always something new going to happen :)

    Still you did say that you guya didnt answer on upcoming issues. That means they are still going to be looked at. And even if it is broad there are LOADS of things that can be upcoming and regardless of what it is if it involves problems in the game I cant wait to see.

    The team for fixing bugs, and the team for designing cosmetics are two different groups of people. Yet another person making an uneducated comment on the forums.

    Why can't you name the questions you would like, but cannot to answer and then answer the questions you can answer? If you don't straight up ignore most upvoted questions, but name them in first 5 minutes of Q&A as the ones you can't asnwer, I doubt anyone would get angry. Just 5 more minutes and everybody's happy.

    So you need thousands of people to see that there was something wrong with last update on ps4? And bhvr isn't small, they have around 600 people. That's more than some devs have for a AAA video game

    Dare someone to suggest that the gentle moderators might have an agenda beyond simply making sure everybody plays nice? Perish the thought!

    Is there any specific reason the dev team doesn't take the Mojang approach to combat changes (i.e. giving the community more than enough knowledge about developments so that the dev team doesn't end up making people frustrated or annoyed when the changes are finally sealed prior to release)?

    Every Q&A is like that. There's nothing important being answered.
