Hits Won't be Fixed for 2 Patches???

That is the sign of many states lifting lockdown restrictions and people being able to go out and do things other than sitting at home playing video games.

do you need to trash every forum people in here ? why you so entitled killer main, you can't even play survivor yet you trash talk survivor in each argument.

okay i'll make it clear for you since you clearly have poor brain comprehension

KILLERS.NO BAD HITS. NO PROBLEM LONG TIME. NOBODY CARE. NO NEED TO FIX.

SURVIVORS. 1M HITBOX. LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE 1 WEEK. MAJOR PROBLEM. FAST FIX

got it ? even most killer main agrees this #########

on survivor's screen they are bs hits, on killer screens they are not. ALSO Killers missing so many hits they should have had but on survivor screens the hits weren't there. this is not a hitbox issue but a desync issue and it's showing how many people don't understand that is how it is happening. EITHER WAY IT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH.

That it comes in the second hotfix does not mean it's not a priority

If it takes 2 weeks to fix the hitboxes but they can fix some other stuff in the first week why would they postpone those fixes for no apparent reason

Hit boxes have been booty since starbreeze and behavior parted ways. The real hit box quality control was at least the ones from the start of the game. I love the new ai and I don't care much about the run animation... It is not so bad... But the only game I play where hit boxes are bad is this game... Your servers are bad... Your hit boxes are bad. Fix em.. or you may end up like death garden and the 2 to 4 players you have left in that...

It's not even "broken"; It's just low. He is perfectly fun and playable as is and therefore the benefit of fixing this is comparatively small. They've also stated they need to remake all of his animations to fix it, which makes sense, so the effort involved is high. High effort for comparatively low benefit translates into lower priority, especially compared to all of the other work this game needs.

Survivors do also need to chill about the new animations, though. You still absolutely can 360 and moonwalk with the new animations. It's just not quite the same as before and a bit harder to do. I played for a few hours last night, which was the first time I'd played more than a match here or there on this patch. The animations were generally well done, the new HUD is a big improvement over what we had previously (the buttery smooth skill checks, UI scaling options, and additional information far outweigh anything stylistic, and I don't think it looks that bad either - there is room for improvement, though), movement was still 95% as easy as before (the only thing that bugged me was actually having to fully stop before being able to gesture - this actually got a teammate of mine killed at one point), and I also only took a couple of BS-feeling hits as survivor (which is normal for DBD).

The fact that this has lead to such an outcry just makes me feel like the community is crying wolf and in doing so lessening the impact of their feedback on other aspects of the game and adding unnecessary toxicity to the forums. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This year we had the Silent Hill DLC at the same time as the 4th year anniversary for the start of the summer. That meant insane BPs for everyone and a lot of new players who were just tuning in for Silent Hill, and you can see the hump on the graph from that. Player counts dropped a little bit going into the late summer when the event ended and Silent Hill was no longer a novelty. With the successful Blight launch into the Halloween event and the typical October boost to horror games, player counts ticked up again. In November there was the end of the Halloween event, but no new DLC and no event for the end of the month. Understandably this lowered player peaks. Then the Blight DLC was rushed and unsuccessful, so we didn't see the typical big bump up around DLC time. One bad DLC is not enough to say the game is not doing well.

Average player counts are more than 50% higher now than they were last year and average player counts are not declining much at all; it's mostly just the peaks that dropped off going into the winter. Here are the average counts for the last year:

Steam reviews have never been more positive either, which says to me that this forum is every bit as much of a negative echo chamber as it feels like lol

you are looking at a scale issue here. when you look at a dip of 10K in one game that has 70K out there, then there is a noticeable difference, even when you look at the same 10K dip at 100K, it's so much less noticeable. also it looks like there was no dip but the line is some what wavy which means there is a loss there, but on the scale of 100K between the lines it's much less noticeable than when the scale is about 10-15K between the lines. I am sure if you drill into and make the scales there you will find similar dips as well.

now the next thing: there is even one of your game's with a scale of 500K per section! this is why you don't see things as bad. plus these games are much more popular and available around the world where as the majority of dbd players seems to be centered around the STATES with a fair bit around the world but not like these other games you list. AGAIN it is a scale issue that you are dealing with and not seeing the changes because where as in the us they might have lost say 10K people over time the rest of the world gained 12K, thus the line does seem to move up. steam does not provide more than over all numbers and not localization of numbers.

if you have a LARGE world wide audience and one area has say a drop of 5-7K and then around the world there is a gain of 7-9K that's a 0-2K INCREASE WORLD WIDE vice a decrease. so YES I did answer it, you obviously didn't read it because it is there. This is why Statistics can be easily manipulated to saw WHAT ever you want it to. when you do not compare same scale, as well as same areas you will find that while one thing could be loosing large numbers and another gaining numbers. Let me make it clear:

Dead by Daylight has currently a max of 40-50K players, and a mean of about 30K if before the dip it was 50-60K players and a mean of 35-40K and in ONE local area things change (the US) where a good number of people can't play as much, and there is no corresponding balancing numbers outside of the US you see that there is a huge drop.

HOWEVER if you take a game that is very heavily uniformly world wide at 100K mean that self same 5-10K drop from the US even then is a much less issue and even a non-issue if the rest of the world increases the numbers playing by 7-12K you get an UPTICK world wide. so please lets look at SCALE and localization before talking about numbers when these are not considered it makes for very silly comparisons and incorrect conclusions

You'd think it was possible to speed up that process somehow, with all consoles together slightly outnumbering PC at this point I believe. I bet the turnaround aggravates the devs too.

again with obfuscation, when R6S and Rust are directly comparable please tell me why DBD doesn't match other gaming trends then?

Why didn't any other game lose a THIRD of it's audience in November. This is not a few K here and there this 1/3 of the audience at peak hours.

It's almost like the game is falling apart at the seems and it has nothing to do with outside influences.

For typing so much you say so little.

Glad I dropped this game a week ago. Never touching it again till those hits get fixed but then again what is our feedback for anyway? They get money from streamers buying outfits in the store and COMPLETELY buying out the rift. So much for customer satisfaction

Also had a incident when you playin killer the survivor dissapears & survivor has invisibility

How does a company with 600+ employees working on their only successful game not have the capability of fixing said game in big patches?

I have had enough of people who say “the game is unplayable!” Yes it is. What is really unplayable is when the maps have no collision on loops or the height of a character blocks you from going places and they fix that in what? 6 days?!!!!! That tells me they care and are doing their best for the community. Also your right I don’t need to defend. I WANT TO because in the end they are people who made a mistake when they have done so much good for us. to make us happy. Should they pay in some way for their mistake? 100%. what should they do to pay for it? fix the game and some small rewards for the inconvenience because at the end of the day we’ll be back play the game we love to play. Also as a close statement to anyone who still thinks it’s hit boxes. it’s desync and to anyone who thinks I haven’t played survivor I play both sides also just because they don’t play the other side doesn’t invalidate their opinion. One last thing tho that I think is important who the ######### cares it was going to hit anyway. are you missing some critical info? Yes. Should you take it like a man and just move on to the next game and have some fun? I guess not let’s just ######### about it instead in the forums just to make sure they know the bug is still there.

Solution: Survivors just shouldn't play until this gets fixed. That's what I'm doing at least.

I have genuinely no desire to play the game when it's broken for one side. BHVR needs to start learning from these little episodes because it's starting to be a rather frequent thing.
