Is RPD map not gonna be changed at all?
I'd like to see a percentage of people who genuinely like the map....
So far the only positives people have mentioned about the map is "RE nostalgia" and "it looks pretty"... but what the gameplay itself?
The map is both awful for killers and survivors, and looking "pretty" and "accurate" shouldn't be a priority over gameplay.
Until then I think the best decision when someone uses the offering is just to dc on the loading screen, and if you get it randomly to either DC or go afk.

I usually play about a minute to see how it goes, and then I let the killer kill me becuz of how boring the gameplay is on that map. I collect the very few bp that I can get

BHVR doing it's job would be making it good for DBD gameplay. It's not adapted, at all.

I hope it doesn’t. I love the map.

Five years of complaining about Haddonfield and they haven't changed a thing. What chance do you think RPD has?

I'm hoping since that's an old map theyre going to rework it for the better.

And if you have a game, you should consider gameplay above things being "pretty". That's how game design works.

From a gameplay perspective it really isn't bad. I've seen 'good players' play on it and make horrible extremely obvious misplays and blame the map being too confusing so I honestly think its just band wagoning atm. What they COULD do at most is close up a couple rooms, block off some halls, and block or move the window vault in the office near the entrance.

That "at most" would already be a big improvement imo

You're on the DBD forums. It fits the Resident Evil games, which aren't like Dead By Daylight.
It's like me adding the minecraft map to DBD and saying it's fine because it represents minecraft.

also good doc map

I'm at 4,580 hours. I'm well used to having new things in DBD. RPD map layout just doesn't fit DBD gameplay.

I've only been on it successfully (without the game crashing) 3 times. It looks amazing. I really like the music, and the ambience etc. But holy crap is it ever a maze. I even had a map, and there can be a generator directly above me, and it takes 3 minutes to find out how to get it.
I'm a bit confused that it has so many dead end rooms with nothing in them (not even a locker). I've also been left to go to struggle on the hook because people can't figure out how to get to me LOL.
The most surprising thing the other day, the hatch spawned on the top floor. In every other indoor map, it only spawns on the bottom floor, right? At the most the stairs platform on Midwich. If the hatch can spawn literally anywhere on the RCPD map, in any nook and cranny, that might be some sort of Hellscape for the last survivor lol.

I've also been left to second stage because people could not find the basement. They said there was a wall in the way and they had to almost go around the whole map just to get there.
It is also a nightmare against pig with the head traps.

Is the map offering back?

It is.

Playing Blight, Billy, and Trickster on RPD has been the most painful experiences in DBD.
It's not that I'm not used to it, it's that it's so damn hard to use your power as those killers in that map.
I'm afraid we're going to have to deal with it.

Exactly. There are so many dead ends that weren't thought through maybe. It sucks being directly beside someone on the hook, but separated by a wall, yet there is no way to get to them in any reasonable amount of time because you have to run down the hall, down fire escapes etc.
Pig would be a nightmare on that map.

It's licensed map, so I wouldn't expect anything soon. Maybe in 3 or 4 years. Enjoy!

Yeah I agree that it does need changes but I think what some people suggest (splitting the map in half for example) would really just make the situation a WHOLE lot worse. It really only needs a couple tweaks to be fine.

Probably not

Playing trickster on this map is impossible with the new 10 second laceration decay it's insane

What I've been told is the map is fine. you just have to stop whining and learn the layout. I'm open to it. I don't enjoy it, but I'm open to it.
Changed my mind, 3 infinites and at least 2 spots you cannot hook survivors, this map is bad.

RPD is one of my favourite maps. It's so chaotic which makes it so much fun.

You know It's against forum conduct to encourage unsportsmanship behavior like this, right?

I feel like you're the guy who spent 4 hours trying to cram the square block into the round hole.

I genuinely like the map. The field area isn't as big as the map itself. The tight corridors and compartmentalized loops are alot of fun.

Licensed maps are almost never changed cause they have to renegotiate parts of the rights, so no it likely won't be changed for years.
You either got to get used to it, or just dc, eat the penalty, and move on.

Yeah I agree that the attention to detail is amazing, but the reason why the RPD map was huge in Resident Evil 2 is so that it gave you plenty of room to run away from Mr. X. Copying and pasting the same map for a multiplayer game however is a terrible idea. The sheer amount of distance you have to cross is not only incredibly expansive, but you have to do it across multiple floors.
