Ormond Rework is gonna make many killers leave

Bro it's not even on the PTB. Chill.

And hey as a killer main myself: I freaking love Ormond.

I won't say it's easier or harder, because it depends on many factor for each experience, but I will still be glad people play both sides to understand the other better and have some empathy too. I mean, sometimes I feel like people forget there are people playing on the other side too.

Sick of hearing the both survivors and killers crying about things being/getting unbalanced and threatening to leave. It ironically comes from both sides regularly.

I'm just hoping that there are not A TON of bugs on the reworks.

Other map reworks made me as a survivor leave...

Yet again I'll point out the original post is in no way rude or offensive towards the devs. And again a bring up the point of the devs not being able to take criticism. This is my opinion anyway. I respect the devs for what they do. I love the game. But I'm not going to tell them I think everything's great and peachy. Now the reason I may seem very anti dev is simple. I'm not really sure the quality they are asking players money for is worth the asking price. Now hear me out. You seem genuinely intelligent so I'm interested to get your take on this. The base game is their first way of making money, yeah? Nothing wrong with that so far. Okay then there's the skins. Look fantastic I must admit. Yeah okay. Then there's the dlc. Right I can live with I mean, I'm not sure about making the bloodpoints system to grindy but I do definitely disagree with how long it takes to earn iri shares but fine. Plus I understand they can't have free license chapters. Perfectly understood. Then there's the rift. I'm British so I'm gonna use pounds but you can do the same for your currency. The rift is 7 pounds 99 pence. Okay That's decent and you get auric cells back. 70 tiers...right erm not a lot of content to be honest. Little disappointed in grindy nature of the rift as well since its clearly trying to make players spend money to complete those last few tiers. Which is fine until it comes to buying the next rift pass. You used some auric cells from the last one so you have to cough up another 7 pounds 99 pence. But let's look I what you get two decent skins a few recoloured ones and maybe an extra common one. Let's compare this to another game that uses battle passes because that's what the rift essentially is. Fortnite is in a completely different league compared to dbd and I hate it tbh. But they both use battle passes fortnite arguably is the most famous example.

So the skins are quite good. The emotes are fun and look nice. And there's a lot more to. Which to be fair on dbd their only equalivent is charms which are ok at best. Fine dbd is a smaller company they make less money I understand that. Fortnite also offers 100 tiers. However fortnite is free. Which makes sense to why they have a battle pass AND skins.

This is all well and good till you look at the quality of gameplay and game health, bugs etc. That sorta thing. Now it's not secret dbd has bugs. The devs acknowledge the fact that the game seems to have bugs everywhere you turn. There's also graphics which they are in the process of improving but even some of the new ones are a little pixelated. The gameplay for the most part is fun and enticing. Maybe stale at times due to the same meta perks on both sides but I'm a horror nerd so I can still get enjoyment out of it unless bugs prevent me. Or low fps. Or low optimisation. Patches that seem to create more problems than solutions. Killers that come out bug filled. Or times when the game is just unplayable after patch like the ps4 situation earlier in October.

My issue stems from this. The devs are willing and do, still ask for that earlier amount of money whilst all these problems constantly riddle the game. They were asking for money in the grindy rift pass when graphics weren't up to scratch. They gave us lackluster Halloween events but expect us to buy up their skins. I've not even mentioned game balance because it's subjective but even without that it's kinda disgusting the amount of money they ask of us when their game isn't worth that amount. Let's look back at fortnite shall we. Free to play. Free updates. Amazing events. Little bugs, little poor gameplay health. Communication with their community is great and constructive criticism is taken onboard not censored. And look at how well it's doing. The proof is out their.

Now yes you will say the rift is optional t's not though. You are always making progress in the rift whether you like it or not. Just by playing the game. I say the rift isn't and the archives by extension aren't free, they cost time. And your sanity to sit their for weeks grinding away and look I love me an rpg but that feels rewarding. Grinding for the rift through one at a time challenges feels slow and monotonous. Bland and disappointing. Whereas fortnite only has to methods of making money dbd has four. Whereas fortnite has many free game modes, dbd only has one. Fortnite has a 100 tier good quality battle pass. Dbd has a grindy 70 tier mix of good and meh and just plain bad items.

I love the game and I respect the devs. I want to believe they have are best interests at heart I do. Because when I see them talk about the game and us it's lovely and uplifting. Credit where credit is due I know the devs can pull it out of the beg. Just like at the skins in the shop, your favourite licenses and end game collapse. All things people love and respect. But when they ask for our money before say giving us said quality content. Such as game mode etc. I get a little annoyed. And I'm tired of people defending it. Because if you do nothing changes. The devs will eventually loose money and players heck they already did at Halloween. And we will loose a game that could be brilliant. Will it ever rival fortnite? No. But I use that as a famous comparison to show can be not exact but an idea.

Dear god this is a long rant sorry. Hopefully someone has patience to read it all. I would love to hear some feedback That's kind and polite and I will be polite back. I just want the game I love to be the best I know it should be you know.

Yeah i sometimes have a monstrous lag as killer too(mostly when i am about to hit a survivor).(i am on mobile for now,so i shouldn't expect more tho)

I’m sorry what? So Badham is stronger now than it used to be? Both the Yamaoka maps r obviously insanely strong, not like all the filler pallets in the map are now incredibly short and unsafe rock loops. And although some of the main buildings r stronger now in Macmillan don’t forget that all the tiles are far better for killer now because the walls are flat and there’s no indents which helps any ranged or speed attack killer significantly.
