4.5.0 - Patches should fix, update or upgrade, but this looks like a downgrade

So i wanted to create a discussion about this new patch, i have been playing DBD for about a year, S R4 and K R1 and as a developer i can't stop thinking this game is just dying on console and being crossplatformed into mobile.

On this patch i detected the following subjects and i would like the community ( players, testers, mods ) to share their opinion.

  • The New HUD, its awesome we can see the face of the players, easier to know who is who
  • Map colors - with each patch the game looks less scary, more vivid and kind like a mobile game ( even the current HUD looks like it was just ported from mobile to ps4
  • Hit system - yeah, it sucks, i did not play again every killer but this was poorly developed and also poorly tested
  • Bug - killer being teleported?
  • Movement animation - i just ask myself, who in his/her right mind would say, yeah this animation looks better than the current one, there are so many things that can be improved and you decided to waste your time in developing ( mostly integrating the animation i guess ) something awful.

Obviously, this is only my opinion, but if you give yours we might get their attention and things will be solved.

Cheers!

    I really Dislike the new HUD, its all over the place. Example: I play as clown, Whenever I hit someone I look down left for whats going on, is somebody picked up of the ground or something, and how many bottles do I have left to finish the chase. Now I have to look bottom left for my bottles and then upper left for what the survivors are doing. And I swear to god, I counted my hooks before, if they dont want me to show who is hooked how often then dont show me at all, it just wastes space. There will be a claudette hiding behind a tree and this hook icon will hide her im sure it will happen some day. And also the survivor pictures are to colerful, They should have had the adept icons instead, every icon is white and a pink meg picture just seems off to me.

    For map colors: I dont know, I play on ps4 and everything looks bad to me, i like the gameplay not the graphics. Maybe I would care if the game ran well enough to appreciate the surrounding. I still think some maps are way to dark ( yamaoka, the game under floor) this would be worth a rework before general graphic standards.

    Hit system is bad, nothing else to say

    Didnt experience any new bugs until now

    I dont like the new injured animation, looks just silly to me but thats debatable I guess.

    I honestly think they made the ui for the switch!
