How much trust did behavior restore?
So this chapter brought some back after two disasters this chapter I believe was played safe. They didn't try anything risky. They didn't bring a complex killer power. Likely to have bugs simple power dude throws knives. They didn't do much other changes but the few changes were good. Wraith got built in Windstorm he can be more viable now. Blights FOV was increased it's weird to see now but it's a good change I bet more will try Blight but not much since he's like Nurse where there's a high skill ceiling that most would rather not go through. Colorblind settings were good. The DS change no more abuse. So the devs played it safe and for now it's worked.

Well, let's take a look:
- Buffed Wraith ✓
- Fixed Blight POV ✓
- Colorblind mode ✓
- DS nerf ✓
Some humanity has been restored
HOWEVER
- We needed to ***** about DS... for how long?
- We complained a lot about Blight POV
- We complained a lot about Wraith needing the RIGHT buff
- A checkmark from Twitter had to trash BHVR over colorblind settings to actually get them.
------------
My biggest worry is the performance from PTB hitting LIVE.

I personally didn't enjoy playing the new killer but every other change that came with it is really good. DS changes, blight FOV, wraith speed and colorblind settings. These are good changes/additions to the game and I barely noticed any annoying bugs so far in the PTB.

No matter how much faith they restore they always find a way to lose it again.

-The Wraith change was unexpected but very much welcomed.
-All the other changes were good too.
-New killer and survivor seem fine.
-Not seen any new gamebreaking bugs so far
-Can't say anything about the map rework yet,obviously
All in all it seems like a good update SO FAR,but let us wait for the live release first.
However,they STILL didn't address optimization issues so my faith in BHVR is not restored at all

To fully restore faith for me they need to continue doing what they did after the 4.5 backlash and be more transparent in providing public roadmaps/updates on what they are planning on fixing with the next patches and hotfixes.
If they continue to communicate and show they're listening to community feedback without the community having to get up in arms each and every update they'll have restored my faith in them.

However, 100% agreed about performance. Hopefully that gets sorted because it would be unacceptable for that to reach live.
You would think so,right?
But console players have to deal with really bad FPS and FPS drops for YEARS so i wouldn't be too surprised if it did hit live.

- Colorblind mode was an issue for years. Is it pure coincidence that Almo makes a statement about it on his stream and after the backlash, we immediately get teased with the colorblind mode? Not mentioning the scuffed pictures we got, that looked they were made in Photoshop for fast damage control. You can google it yourself "DBD colorblind backlash" and there are some articles about it, or you can find the video in question yourself about the game designer and his comments about it that lead to this.
- Blight POV was an issue for more than half a year, we've said it from day 1. Why did it take this long to get this fixed? Resources went to the new HUD and movement we didn't ask for.
- Every Q&A when the DS topic appeared "We're looking into it" for like how long was this single line used?

None. But I'm thinking the game will lose support by the end of the year anyway.
Absolutely have Steven Spohn to thank for the colorblind mode. He's a great advocate for gamers, I wouldn't reduce him to "some Twitter checkmark."

This is probably the big thing for me. If the Dev showcases give us more "hey, this is what we're EXACTLY targeting in the next 2-3 patches, here are some details" I will be happy. I can sort of understand waiting on the UI to go live before making final decisions, as it was a major change - but they should have made the rest of that patch rock-solid after that PTB.
In my opinion, the devs have been a little aggressive on changes for the timelines they want to keep. I'm glad that they want to keep new content and reworks coming, but it seems like there needs to be more of a balance between quality control and content.

Did you play the PTB? There's clearly new bugs popping up that affect core gameplay.
If BHVR fixes them before release then some trust can be restored. But more than likely they will meet expectations and change nothing until a hotfix.

Certainly better than the last few updates.
It makes me hopeful but I'm holding out for them to address some bigger and more important issues with the game
0 -
I'll decide AFTER the PTB goes live cause there's always something that gets broken then it takes then a few weeks to fix it.
2 -
None. I'm more worried then ever the direction the game is going in. The trickster is clearly an attempt at pandering and attracting the Kpop crowd. Imagine if nurse was released today. She'd probably be a smoking hot red head in a nurse outfit.

A lot better than last two updates.. I just wish they'd do more perk changes. Having 6 perks changes each midchapter isn't enough. I wish they'd start buffing perks during every update, both chapter and mid chapter. There are so many bad perks in the game right now, that could use a number buff or a complete rework.

Overall this ptb is pretty great. Main issue is the new killers strength but im sure they'll buff him.........right?

They restored just a little bit of my faith in them, just a little. What needs to happen is they need to address all of the problems they currently have (not with the game itself only) with the community and why they don't work as hard as they should. Of course that'll ever happen.

They still have a long way to go in order to fully restore my trust in them. Everyone knows the track record of the people at BHVR takes one step forward in doing something good, but then proceeds to take multiple steps backwards when doing something bad. My trust in them will remain very low until I see them doing things correctly with every update

I think they did ignore it for years. I mean they probably had it on a list somewhere and knew about it but it was super low priority. I refuse to believe that they're so incompetent that they struggle to change some colors in their game.

That's because the live servers are known as the PTB

Not a fan of the killer in many ways! The Wraith buff was very good but took them this long? Same with DS and I still think it should be 45 seconds since Pop got this nerf. Blight I don't play anymore since he is garbage on console.
I mean they did better this time and it gives us hope for more killer buffs..thinking mostly of Trapper. But since I almost only play survivor these days I would love to see solo survivors getting something. Like an indicator of a survivor being 20 meters from hooked survivor or not since it's so frustating leaving a gen to run all they way to survivor to see someone else have done the same thing.
We need more killer buffs and solo survivor buffs.

Basically this. While these changes were great they also came in after a while of them being an issue. The live build is what I'm worried about. Are we gonna have another 4.5.0 situation again?

If the chapter launches in a stable state then BHVR will have my love back completely. A bit of a shame we didn't get a map for this chapter because I LOVE its aesthetics!

Not much..
1) The UI is still a mess but it's a little better than the disaster it was.
2) The survivor is just another skin with more useless perks.
3) Still waiting on Open Handeds buff
4) PTB performance is a laggy mess and you can't move at the start of the match 90% of the time.
5) PTB littered with bugs as usually.
6) New killer is just a bunch of old killer features combined with Hacking Ghostface knife throw speed.
7) After the fallout they immediately went to try and sell us more skins.
8) Hit validation still isn't working properly
9) The "Chat Filter" is censoring normal everyday words.
The list goes on.. so for me they're still a long ways away from redeeming themselves.

I mean, if you want to believe in coincidences, I guess you can.
I'll take the explanation that requires fewer assumptions.
