BHVR should sell DBD
Every new patch the game is screwed for a minimum of 1 week. Why this is acceptable I just do not fully understand...if it happened here and there..ok....but its every....single.....update. You guys need to hand this game over to someone who can actually keep this game going consistantly instead of having to crank out things we have to pay for so frequently that you cant keep up with yourselves. I loved this game but sadly its getting so frustrating that I used to play this game every day...now I have no issues taking week long breaks from it, and used to have no problems spending a few bucks on this game frequently now I wouldn't spend a penny on it. Sorry for the rant but I just have a hard time believing I would be the only one that is extremely irritated and just done with it.

Absolutely. In the years I have been playing this it became clear that there is no such thing as an internal quality control. Some bugs popping up in the first minute of the game after a new patch impressively documented that the developers can not have played even just ONE round of their own game prior to releasing it.

Imagine DBD was owned by EA.

Yea because selling the game to an entirely new team who has absolutely no idea what bloodlust is, or ruin, etc etc will surely make this game better.
38 -
They should do a game health update instead of releasing weak killers that none plays *coff the twins coff*
16 -
They'd cancel it just when it starts to get good. They have a habit of doing that.
7 -
Pretty much this, last Killers have been underwhelming, poorly tested and designed (one having to be changed twice in the span of ¿3 months? and other 2 considered to be the worst experience to face against in the whole game) also Survivor Perks have been nothing but utter rubbish, for this kind of new content Id rather have 6 months straight with nothing but bug fixes, balance changes and paid cosmetics (they still need to make coin).
Its not that they dont know how to fix bugs or improve performance since bugs do get fixed (slowly) and the performance has improved (at least mine has, I dont get FPS stutters every time a perk or power is activated for the first time and its been ages since the last game crash I had) but they have way too much on their plate with current amount of problems plus new characters which in turn add new bugs.

Considering some of the decisions BHVR has been making lately. Selling it to a new team is getting more appealing every patch. At least the new team will admit they don't know what they are doing and actually do something with our feedback.
21 -
Although that's true, that could still work against us if the new team ends up liking an idea that much of the community doesn't like.

BHVR is fair and communicates on a personal level here in the forums and through streams far more often than most companies and I appreciate that.
Terrible idea, BHVR 4 lyfe
4 -
At least we'd see a little more fixes here and there. They are already on par with monetization
4 -
Loot boxes!!!
:P
4 -
1 week try 1 - 2 months with some lasting years....
1 -
ye the should sell the rights even ea would make the game work
1 -
You can't appease everyone so being upset by some decisions that others like isn't a valid reason for wanting the game sold to another company.
Thinking the bugs would be fixed by an entirely new team is exactly the kind of thinking I'd expect from this forum, lmao.
9 -
you literally just described what BHVR does now
10 -
with the current monetization, almost the same
6 -
lol, i sense i ban in coming
3 -
This is stupid
4 -
Why all of you who write these post never have evidence of such terrible times.
3 -
Stop it he’s not getting banned for this I’m not going to name names but those people who were banned were banned cause they were awful and disrespectful to the devs. Stop spreading this misinformation that just because we have a opinion doesn’t mean we get banned
3 -
There's "can't appease everyone" and then there"s "can't appease anyone".
The devs have made some changes that one side didn't like but it was for the good of the game as a whole. Then there's decisions that no one was happy about and made the game worse. /cough1.9.2cough
A new team might actually be a good idea. Get a fresh pair of eyes on this issue.
3 -
That's the point. Switching developers won't solve anything.
3 -
You would have to pay to unlock perks.
6 -
I hate to tell ya this... but uhhh... you already kind of have to do that for a decent amount of perks.
3 -
The fact that your example of them doing a patch that "nobody likes" is from almost three years ago is hilarious.
5 -
Just because it happened 3 years ago doesn't take away from my point. The fact that the people who made this game thought that was a good idea speaks volumes.
2 -
Yea it does take away from your point, if you can't give an example of an absolutely terrible change that literally nobody liked in the past three years than your entire point is moot, it's embarrassing that you can't see that.
5 -
Okay, more recent then.
The Twins. I don't see anyone who likes them. Except survivors
3 -
I like the twins.
fortunately, you don't get to decide what is universally hated or not, the patch three years ago, yes, but the twins? not even close.
2 -
Honestly, writing such an obnoxious post ,this is rude and disrespectful to the community.You never stated what was the issue's that was so severe you couldn't play for a week,which in any case,it's ok to take a break from any game. You make it seem like a catastrophe,the only possible issues you could have is lag,studders,and the occasional micro macro hacker
you're killer's may even be a little buggy but ,you're just being mellow dramatic, I guess but in the rudest and most personal way .
3 -
I like them and their extremely fun,if you don't like something doesn't mean other's don't.I don't even see hag or plague often, but they had some of the highest kill rates and rarely do I get a pig.
1 -
I don't even think most survivor's like the Twins... Most of them just camp, tunnel and slug the entire game.
5 -
Considering how it costs like £600-£700 for every Sims 4 expansion pack, and there's DLC for their DLC, I'd unironically say that BHVR still isn't as bad as EA
2 -
I always did say I'd love to see what happens if another company bought the game. Personally Insomniac games are the company I'd love to see.
2 -
Would you really want to inflict this community on an innocent new dev team?
2 -
Bro BHVR can't even get running and pushing an action button right , do you not see that, you can laugh your ass off all you want but another company would definitely do a better job and I'm not talking about balance wise I'm talking the bugs and the bullshit that pops up every patch , gta is a way bigger game with more controls and more people in a single lobby and bigger map, BHVR can't even get half a city block worth of map space to work right and every thing under the sun has a bullshit bug at some point , it honestly a joke that youve been here so long and don't see that yet
4 -
I don't think being here long has anything to do with it.
If you honestly think sending this game to another dev team who understands literally nothing about how it's built is going to somehow make it a better game then there's no point in discussing anything with you.
Imagine giving GTA to literally any dev team, do you think they'd suddenly understand how it works and make it better or? You have to realise Rockstar have been making GTA games since 1997, BHVR have been working on (the only real successful PVP asymmetrical game) for 4 years.
But sure, lets compare them because that sounds like a reasonable thing to do, yikes.
1 -
Understandable frustrations, selling the game will only add more issues though.
1 -
DBD's problems are over-exaggerated. If you don't like it, don't play it. You will always find shiet to ######### about if you want to #########.
I mean, people can find a small bug like a fatshame spot on a new map, will go to this forum and create 100 posts how bad is this game and dev team, instead of a bug report ricket. Its some kind of a stupid trend now i don't understand.
They will shittalk this game, but continue to play. Reminds me of that abusive girlfriend, who likes to fight with a partner with or without a reason, just to a fight.
2 -
It doesnt matter, if there is none people can always fabricate wathever they want and pass it as proof.
I remember when Hillbilly got changed the forum and Reddit were swarmed with "HILLBILLY WAS PERFECT AND BALANCED, THE ONLY THING SURVIVOR AND KILLER MAINS AGREED 100%" and I was like "the heck you people are on" when reading them, Survivors really loved playing against Hillbilly pingponging his way around the map and getting instasawed for sure...

not much would change

Why did I immediately think of Facebook buying BHVR
0 -
This game isn't rocket science it's literally simple button interactions with very small animations in play, it wouldn't take another game developer long to understand how it works don't pretend like a company like EA or Rockstar isn't smart enough to understand the concept of this game and how things should work , in fact I'd be willing to bet they could balance it better as well because they have more money and other resources that BHVR more than likely couldn't match up to due to the fact they aren't a very big company to begin with
2 -
Even if you sold it to rockstar or EA the game would never get fixed it would still be even buggier than it is and they don’t listen look at RDR2 online they haven’t done anything to fix it. BHVR may make some bad decisions but at least there trying to fix the game but there not sellouts like EA or Activision or Rockstar just because you have a higher budget does not automatically mean the game will be optimized
1 -
Then we are back where we started with no change. Frankly i dont see a downside
0 -
I'd rather Behavior figure out how to make enough money to buy back all their stocks and become a private company. Then they need to hire some good programmers/developers to rewrite the game from the ground up, factoring in all the types of powers killers can have, new objectives, weather, new obstacles and effects and whatever else they think the game can have in the future.
I also think them going private would lessen some of the monetization practices. It would be nice.

If the game is so much crap to anyone in this camp why are you here on the forums? why are you playing the game? the more you don't play the game the more they notice. but if people keep playing the devs will say well we can keep on as is. Vote with your feet and/or wallet! I haven't even bought the new dlc yet.. that's 7 bucks they haven't gotten from me since the DLC came out. I haven't bought new packs of cells since the dlc came out.... I'm one tiny drop in the bucket but what would they do if 1000 or even 10000 people stopped playing? they'd have to reassess and see why these people stopped playing and fix it. look to Sq. Enix and FF 14. initially 1.0 was crap and they even brought it back in, shut servers down and took 2 more years to revamp it and it is one of the most successful mmo's out there! it's gotten better and better! the interface on console has gotten better, and people actually like playing it. the devs here are no different, but the big thing is there is just people not voting, they buy the dlc the minute it's out even when they know it's bugged. this tells the devs and bean counters the calls for shutting down a dlc period to be hot air and they keep moving
NOW I am guessing at what devs and the bean counters are thinking to be honest but it's how things work, you play a game they see you play it and they don't worry, you don't and enough people don't then they start worrying it's as simple as that.

Na it would be an oculus situation."you require to link a Facebook account to play dbd.

As I said earlier BHVR cares only about your money and that's it. Your voice is not important for them.

Then why are they buffing clown and demogorgon? If they don’t care about us why are they doing that though? Tell me
