Dev Update January 2022 Summary
Comments

They didn't un-nerf Billy and it's been years worth of complaints.
1 -
Yeah but you see a Billy thread every three months
Deathslinger you see 3 threads a week
1 -
When Billy first got hit with it, you saw about 15 threads a day for months.
He was a lot of people's favorite Killer to play as and against.

I'm excited about the wiggle.

Yep so killers should just enjoy playing against what will basically be 4 man swfs every single round in the meantime. Sounds like a great idea 🙄.

Ah yes, as if every Survivor will sweat every game every day
1 -
The main thing I want to know is will the new patching setup stop me from having to take 10 minutes on an m2 drive to update 50mb of the game. Also someone reading this - No - Nothing is wrong with the drive. It is genuinely how the game chooses to update sometimes.

4 average survivors do not need to sweat if they have decent coordination/communication. Play safe, split up on gens, stack 2nd chance perks, and coordinate and you can escape. Let's not pretend that if survivors get more information that would otherwise require voice communication, survivor efficiency isn't going to go up. It will. If killers get nothing to compensate, it just means even more difficult matches for killers (and over time it will get even worse once it gets fully baked into the survivor meta).

It's still SoloQ, teammates are still going to be hiding in corners
1 -
For solo queue, please make the hiding in locker icon entertaining so we have something to watch while we one-hook.
2 -
Also, please include a 'I just don't give a damn' icon for survivors that are on gens 10 meters or less away while the killer is 32 meters or more away from a hooked survivor.

So, in all honesty... all of this does look pretty good but none of it was what I was hoping to see.
Does the patching system they currently have need work. Yes. Am I glad they're fixing it? Yes. Was that what I wanted to see? No. I wanted to see gameplay related stuff. Even though the patching system is bad, you don't need to interact with it very often and never directly.
Does SBMMR need work? Yes, honestly it needs to be replaced. However, I usually play DbD at night Eastern Time when SBMMR goes on holiday in favor of not making queues terrible so... this probably won't actually affect me much.
Is them buffing Solo Survivors a good thing? Yes. However, I literally never play solo Survivor so... I don't really care.
Is that beta tab system cool? Yep. However, this does kinda feel like it'll mostly get used to test UI/input changes so... cool but eh.
Is the new system for wiggling better? I mean... probably? But... I personally didn't have any issues with how wiggling works.
At the moment I'm just sitting here hoping that part 2 has actual gameplay changes that are coming and isn't also disappointing.

Everything this post says 100%
1 -
Agreed, I don't want more hud icons that I can't turn off. I haven't had major problems when I play solo queue and like the suspense of not knowing what other survivors are doing and having sudden changes like gens popping or survivors getting downed across the map without warning

Part 2 of the developer update will consist entirely of announcing the removal of blackface Bubba
1 -
Thanks. I'm out of the loop currently because I'm playing different games.
I am pleasantly surprised by some of the things they are implementing.
1 -
Not that you'd catch me complaining about that,
1 -
Been waiting for changes to close the gap between Solo and Premade, this is very good for all sides because the game can then be balanced properly for killers and all survivor types.
This is great news, but we still need a way to fix face camping because it ruins the game for survivors and is a form of griefing if the killer decides he hates someone.
1 -
Devs, it took you this long to understand that swf breaks the game? I'm not coming back for this. I'll stick to Endwalker.
2 -
Respect+
Thanks for the tldr.
1 -
I wasn't speaking about the HUD, but about the wiggle mechanics/toggle option.

This patch isnt that big that it needs to be 2 part, just saying
1 -
But you forgot it's a killer. If it was a survivor, it would've been addressed. Killer? See you next year.
0 -
There is a ptb tomorrow so it'a highly likely there are going to be some gameplay changes.
Would be weird to have a ptb if nothing drastic changed
0 -
Any news on making killer fun again?
Can we buff dead hard to make it so it just lets you escape the trial please?
0 -
Let's wait for Part 2 for the "How Will We Make Killers Worse But Make Them Think We Are Giving QoL Changes And Buffs But Secretly Doing Shadow Nerfs" post later today.
And foolish one they are bluffing DH to instantly freeze the Killer in place forcing them to get BM and Trolled......what are people even teaching these players these days.
1 -
Reading this and it just keeps getting better...
These update notes made me super happy. 🌟

I would love to see an arcade playlist mode that changes rules each week. Id love to see no perks one week.
We would see real fast how much 2nd chance perks carry survivors, thinking theyre actually skillful.
0 -
Yea that's been suggested alot actually because it would really see what perks on both Killers and Survivors need balancing and what Killers need Buffs, QoL Changes, or Nerfs.
0 -
Fair point, I think options for all would be good, I don't want the extra HUD hints to be forced on me if I'd rather not know what other survivors are doing

Why your post is edited by a mod? Huh...

Lol I see. Happy new year!
