Anyone Have Hope for Anniversary Stream?

Chat is going to be a massive dumpster fire as usual. It's best to just close the moment you get in the stream and never open it again because rapid fire slurs ruin the vibe.

Not really. We'll get the chapter 24 reveal (big surprise there), some content creator clips, some fan art and that will most likely be it. Maybe we'll get news on a new idea they are working on that will surely 100% be implemented soon-ish, like what happened with the early game warm up

I’m still burnt by the ‘Road to 60fps’ that they made a song and dance about when all we wanted was the game to be optimised; years of silence followed by disappointment and the game in a worse state every update :/

Not much, they tend to promise a lot of stuff then saying "This is very early work" only to be implemented either way too late, a barebones version or not implemented at all. The roadmaps are just absurd at this point, we all know them in advance "every 3 months we churn a new Killer and a new Survivor with mostly pointless or redudant at best perks, 2 maps per year and rework these 2/3 Killers".

My hopes are extremely low, I dont expect any announcement about the worst problems of this game and even if they do I dont expect it to be implemented in less than 18 months, do people still have to wait 12 months or more for a fix for the grind?.

i hope that hope gets buffed to be infinite after all gens are done

That the next anniversary event doesn't give us Yucky 🤮 Crowns, but gives us Party Hats instead

The crowns don't look good and we don't even know what it does so it's lore significance doesn't exist, but Party Hats are fun and make more sense for a celebration.

I'm just kidding, I don't have hopes.

So a lot was spoiled already but maybe they have some secrets hidden. Pinhead was a little late but a welcomed surprise.

Absolutely. This one HAS to be good and I am sure they are well aware of that fact. I like to believe the reason everything lately has been kind of meh is because they are saving some hype for a big anniversary reveal. I am still holding out hope that we will get a licensed killer, as I do not believe they would actually give us an original killer while we are in the red.

I'm not hopeful for an enjoyable stream but I am hopeful the content is good.

I'll be happy if the solo q changes they mentioned 5 months ago are confirmed for the next chapter.

Devs have confirmed that they're not looking to have any modern-day religious representation in-game atm

Yea I wasn't referring to just David. If you don't think they've represented the lgbt community well in recent time I suggest opening your eyes a bit. Its kind of hard for anyone who has been following DBD's social media, live streams and simply playing the game to not realize they care about and represent the lgbt community well.

Its pretty disheartening to know that is their current stance on religious representation in the game. Faith to me and I assume many others in this world is more than just a belief in something. It is our identity. My faith is who I am. I think it would be cool to see that represented in some way in DBD one day. My idea of inclusion is probably very different from theirs and others in the community. Inclusion to me is including that which you disagree with too. It certainly is an interesting subject. However I do think if a company is going to actively take a stance on representation, they should consider that faith is something that billions of people see a large part of their life in, and for perhaps even many is their identity.

well. They do care obviously but I thought you were talking about representation through (playable) in-game characters… because that’s what representation usually means in the video game context.

i do understand that faith, belief etc is something people define themselves with and is something important for them as their individual person. But it’s not like some religions are included while others are explicitly excluded. There is nothing excluded because the devs disagree with it at all and accusing them of this seems pretty derogatory for me..

Just leave LGBTQ+ inclusion out if you are talking about religion/belief inclusion. Those have nothing to do with eachother and just because LGBTQ+ topics aren’t explicitly excluded over heterosexual topics doesn’t mean anything (neither positive nor negative) related to real-life religions or even politics.

this has nothing to do with differing opinions.

We're going into the sixth anniversary and they still haven't done all the stuff they said they were going to do from the fifth anniversary.

Remember how Mori's were meant to become part of the base game experience that you had to earn instead of it being an offering and just tunneling for the mori?

It doesn’t matter if you disagree. This is not about your opinion at all. And if there was relation there than it was also there before any LGBTQ+ inclusion as they have included different kind of topics before (like different ethnicities/nationalities that are usually not represented/under-represented in video games).

you were the one tying this to LGBTQ+ inclusion without it having a real connection to your request of belief being represented.

also you can always stop responding. I don’t force you to.

You were the one saying twice that we should stop but you still respond even though I don’t even ask you direct questions.

maybe the creators of the videogame get to decide what they want to represent? I just told you that they have stated in the past they don’t want to include real-life religions and that LGBTQ+ inclusion doesn’t mean they have to include anything and everything else (which is not in anyway related to your opinion - one thing doesn’t have anything to do with the other and that’s a fact. You can see in differently but then your view in this case is wrong).

i never said you shouldn’t ask for inclusion of your (or any others) faith. And the devs may very well change their stance on this, it’s their decision after all as was LGBTQ+ inclusion.

I do think it is more risky with original ideas but not impossible. Yui's chapter comes to mind. The theme was awesome and the characters were very well received. I get Yui in almost every match since her chapter released. I think that is a huge success for an original idea chapter.
