What is the biggest problem with DBD?

The devs are genuinely scared to nerf meta perks. Seriously it's been so stale for soooo long and the only time anything else gets attention is boons because they're so ludicrously broken.

Seriously, at this point I'd even take them just nerfing the balls off the top 4 perks on both sides just to see what happens.

Personally I think there needs to be something done about SWF squads on Comms. It is quite clear that this game wasn't conceived with a voice chat option in mind. The advantage 2+ players communicating freely will more often than not be the deciding factor in the game where information is valuable. A simple phrase like "He's on me, im in the killer shack" gives a good survivor the confidence to approach and finish a generator without having to worry about the killer sneaking up on them. No need to check your surroundings when your buddy has let you know exactly where the killer is.

I think ultimately this hurts balancing for a myriad of reasons. 1) ] The frustrating game play will only serve to drive casual killers away from the game. Why play when being a killer means having to sweat your balls off against 4 highly coordinated players who are popping gens left and right. This means the only killers who will remain in this current meta are the BM campers and the absolute try hards. 2) Making the killers stronger to compete with SWF will serve to crush the SoloQ survivors just trying to have an honest game. Its arguable that this current meta favors survivors but in my honest opinion the core game is pretty fair its just the overwhelming advantage of comms makes it almost unbearable to play killer at the moment.

This is all coming from someone who now almost exclusively plays survivor with my friends. I just dont have it in me anymore to play killer for more than 2-games. Win or lose its just too much pressure to play that role right now. Despite my meager ability as a survivor I can escape 75 percent of the time simply because I can coordinate with my friends. I wouldn't mind at all if they added some sort of penalty to mitigate the advantage of comms. By all means let people play with their friends but please make it fair for all players, killers and soloQ players included.

Unfortunately, much of the community.

Thompson House and Temple of Purgation?

Thompson House main building is atrocious to play around and Temple of Purgation is pretty big isn't it?

Honestly?

The toxicity in this game, from both survivors and killers.

Facecamping for no reason, tunneling for no reason. Survivors bming for no reason etc etc. And endgame chat the same thing, it's only drama and toxic behavior all around the game.

Which lies are you referring to?

(edit: also you do really not know who is responsible for this in the dev team, so asking to firing all is too much anyway)

In my mind what's wrong with the game is that it's been the exact same for far too long.

The tunneling is getting really really bad right now.

the lag issues and hacking problems that we all know are there do not get addressed at all.

and as others have said player entitlement is very real one side is always blaming the other for the state of the game.

Player entitlement from both sides, which comes across in wanting changes because something isn't fun to them, yet also supports things others may find unfun because they find it fun.

Another thing along those lines is a woeful lack of empathy, which can come across as abuse in chat, mocking or even simply choosing to insult someone because they dare see something a different way. I've seen it in posts where someone will suggest a change to something and ask what they think, only to be told they are clueless or insulted, rather than someone simply saying: "I don't think that will work because *insert reason*".

The attitudes of some is far worse than anything else to me right now, since if something were to be complained about but in a more objective, less patronising way, stuff may actually be done and the community can contribute to growth, rather than creating playground divides.

I think the biggest problem is devs listening to the survivor mains crying for killer nerfs, and when survivors are granted buff after buff after buff to the point that no-one wants to play killer any more (at least not in an orthodox manner, now camping/tunnelling is the preferred strategy), they still want more nerfs. And will also then complain about queue times because there's not enough people playing killer now (understandable).

The cognitive dissonance in not recognising there needs to be balance and fun for both sides just straight up boggles my mind.

I would blame the survivors mainly for this, except it's the devs who are listening and not applying or considering any counter-balance to the other side of the player-base. It's almost like they've taken the viewpoint of 4-survivors is more important than the 1-killer, except without that 1-killer, those 4-survivors aren't going to be in a game. That 1-killer's perspective should count as equally as the 4-survivors, being as they're carrying the one side of the game themselves.

When have they said you will be able to see your own MMR?

Keys and hatch mechanic have been changed and they never promised a date for it when Moris were changed either.

its still their form of MMR, the only lie here is that they said they tried it being based on Escapes/kills and ditched that while later on revealing that it is only based on Escapes/kills. (I at least hoped this blatant lie would be called out by you haters but apparently no? You are grasping at stuff that you just don’t like but where the devs didn’t lie)

There are no real infinites left though? And breakable walls.. well I don’t like them either but they were not introduced as a way to get rid of infinites.

Boons: uh. Where is the lie here?

you guys should really look up the definition of ‚lie‘

And yet you are still here. And spreading lies about the devs just because you don’t like the state of the game and can’t argue reasonably.

Not belonging to me.

I started to play some games again as killer.

I understand that getting hit after a palled stun and through dead hard was very frustrating for survivors and i am glad that they fixed that.

But now, even though i have a low ping (about 40ms) almost all of my hits through pallets get rolled back, i get a lot of rolled back hits on dead hard (that look ridiculous on my screen, i downed someone with m1 that was working on a gen, then he stood up and dead harded away), grabs get interrupted and rolled back to a m1 sometimes. This complaint is not about balance, its just frustrating when you experience rollback to your disadvantage on a regular basis, even though i have a good ping. My last game today was as trapper, got 3 m1 and 1 grab validated and all survivors had deadhard and used that to go over my traps, again not talking about balance, but it feels so bad.

The whole design about gens need to be reworked

Yeah it’s clearly me who is helpless :)
