bots for sure , bots on PTBs are gonna be good (not having to wait 1 hour for getting a single game).
Now the bots are gonna be customizable? like choosing if i want to face specific killer or survivors bots.

New prestige. It sounds fantastic - perfect way to address the grind and a solid way to move forward. It's really close, though; there was a ton of exciting and promising stuff dropped yesterday. Mechanical changes in order to be able to shake up the meta? DBD dating sim? You glorious madlads.
Seconding how nice it was to hear a timeline for planned releases. Really feels like they took feedback from the 5th anniversary stream into account, and going out on a limb to provide more transparency was super appreciated.

I'm super curious to gauge the community's reaction to the stream without actually having to read their opinions.

A lot to like here, but the prestige rework and bot practice mode were highlights for me. I may yet end up using Billy, Blight, and Nurse if I don't have to eat dirt in live play to learn them.
The perk/meta overhaul is really tantalizing as well, though I am tempering my optimism until I see what the changes actually are.

You're assuming the people working on the dating sim are the same people working on DBD. BHVR could easily have a secondary team work on the secondary game so that people working on DBD would not be distracted from it. The majority of BHVR employees before DBD exploded were 2d and 3d artists. Dating sims are like, 85% artistic work.

My personal favourite is the prestige rework, especially because it shares similarities with my original idea, where reaching p1 on a killer would unlock ALL teachable perks at t1 and p3 would unlock all teachable perks at t3, but with new releases you would still need to unlock the perks on the characters.
The difference is that assuming all killers are p3, every new addition would increase with 200k to unlock all the new perks(aka, 10 killers and 11th killer being added would be 2 million BP, 20 killers and the 21st killer being added would take 4 million BP per added killer). So while it initially saves a LOT of BP compared to the current situation, we've already crossed the 4 million BP per added killer. As we'd now be closing in on 6 million per new killer.
While with their changes, it's 4 million bp per new killer by prestiging them to p3. That's really neat. So instead of finishing my original quest of p3lvl50 all perks on killers(taking 21 million and about 1 month per killer), I am going to try to p3 lvl 1 as many killers as possible(5 per month are doable), and actually return to prestiging survivors after I finish the final killers.
With my current rate of BP gains, I should be able to get every character p3lvl1, with the exception of characters that have unique offerings like anniversary cakes.
My big question to the devs is if there is going to be a legacy prestige v2 for characters that do have all or almost all perks unlocked, as I'd say that these changes to prestige are much more impactful than the original changes.

I am pretty sure that is just the announcement of the next chapter. The one with Wesker. Because, you know, W.

Yeah I’m not looking forward to that Lmao

Oh wait. You are right. They were talking about a RE chapter Remake because someone can’t accept that their opinion might not be the one and only truth.

I thought the sim was going to be made by a 3rd party developer actually.

Project W. I had never been more excited to play DBD than when the Resident Evil chapter was revealed and eventually went live. Right now I am just waiting for more information to be released on Project W. I can't wait to see that sweet RE themed lobby.

If only they let you customize your own lobby……

I can't wait to learn more about Project W! 😍

It would be Silent Hill and RPD on an endless rotation. Maybe some other ones too. Its been so long I can't really remember them all.

I must be the only one who doesn't want a second RE chapter.
First, it creates too great an inequality of treatment between licenses. We will have 4 survivors (6 with skins), 2 killers and 2 RE maps. While some licenses don't even have a survivor (Scream, Hellraiser) or a killer (Left 4 Dead) or a map (Scream, Left 4 Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hellraiser, Ringu). Some original chapters also don't have a map (Blight, Twins, Trickster).
And secondly, you won't take away the impression from me that such a rapid choice of renewal (one year) is only a short-term marketing strategy to reproduce the explosion of players from the first chapter. It will work for a month, then the same story will happen again. All the players who came for RE will leave again. You don't fix a game with such questionable short-term solutions. It's just keeping the game under artificial respiration by playing on people's fanboyism. If we add to that the unfulfilled promises (still nothing on the improvement of the HUD for SoloQ, even no enunciation in the stream, nice), hard to believe in an improvement of the game in the long term.
0 -
Eh.. as you have already stated, there already is great inequality between licenses. And it doesn’t make sense to try to bring them all to the same level because if so they would have to go for the bare minimum. And we all don’t want that. Also keep in mind GhostFace in is not related to Scream at all, we literally don’t have a Scream license.

Excuse me for hoping for quality rather than quantity.
0 -
What does a second RE chapter have to do with less quality? If it wasn’t RE there would have been another original or licensed chapter. Didn’t sound like you were against the usual schedule of a new chapter every 3 months.
0 -
Another chapter, original or licensed, wouldn't have bothered me. In the case of RE, we already have one. So I know the RE fanbase has its...reputation, to be polite, but it's a loss of quality when BHVR prefers the easy choice over anything else. Instead of tackling a new yet untapped license or working on maps for previous incomplete chapters, we are left with the same old thing just right to satisfy a fan base that is content with little.
0 -
My top 2 have to be:
- Custom bot matches
- new prestige/grind system
The mass Perk overhaul is an honorable mention.
0 -
That doesn’t really make any sense. You also really can’t generalize the RE fanbase as RE is one of the biggest horror videogame franchises and has a pretty diverse fanbase.. just say you don’t like RE and would have preferred something else but don’t try to justify it by making up stuff.
and they kinda teased with the new Realm that older killers without maps might get a new map within this realm as it’s pretty much an amalgamation of memories.
0 -
No, you don't understand or don't want to understand. What bothers me are the means implemented for a license that has ALREADY had its chapter (not to mention cosmetics) - when others have had almost nothing except a single character - in such a short period of time. And I haven't even mentioned the loss of Stranger Things.
Again, if you're happy, it'll make easy money for BHVR, but don't come asking me to be when it smacks of commercial ease.
0 -
You don’t understand that this is not solely up to BHVR it seems. It depends heavily on the license holder and what they actually are willing to let BHVR do with their license. Stranger Things not being renewed is very likely mostly on Netflix, NOES having the remake version and not getting anything more is diente the license holder being very restrictive, Valve/whoever owns L4D are apparently not willing to get monetary gain from this licensing this Bill -and the rift outfit- being free and there is not a paid chapter.
0 -
So what ? We may have RE chapter every year because BHVR not properly known negotiate the use of a license and it's the only one that shows lax with them because it failed with RE : Resistance and it seeks a redemption ?
Well, between that and all of the game's current issues - which won't be fixed this year, you have to be naïve to believe - DBD will definitely need the RE fanbase to survive.
0 -
Well, people like you that are only complaining (instead of giving constructive criticism) are still here and supporting the game as well.
0 -
I won’t lie I’m personally not looking forward to the new RE chapter. I think the killer will Be cool. However having Claire and Chris just as skins while two other characters (they are background characters) that are not even close being in their level just rubs me the wrong way. From the dbd side, this is awesome. From a personal sided I’m not really all excited
0 -
Hey I don’t see that as a bad thing as those were the coolest looking lobbies Lmao. I would chose RDP tho but maybe the silent hill lobby would change my Mind
0 -
yeah, completely understandable and you are not making wild accusations without any basis :)
0 -
I am heavily biased tho I will admit. I really wanted Claire as her own survivor not some skin.😔 It’s a good decision on bhvr to try out the license again. Like I said the killer will be cool I have faith in that. We have an idea on who they will pick as the survivors and I’m saddened by that

You don't like it, so it's not constructive. Typical of people on a forum who can't stand being disagreed with.

I understand your level. No need to keep answering.

I love it! 😍 Unfortunately, my current tier is only 46. I'm still missing 13 levels :( By the way, the devs made a wise decision by also giving Haddie a crop top via the event tome 😂
1 -
It has nothing to do with me liking it or disagreeing with it.
you said that BHVR doesn’t properly know how to negotiate the use of a license but you don’t have any basis for this statement whatsoever and you are completely ignoring the fact that with these negotiations two sides are involved and BHVR has shown to bring in good licensed stuff and even renewing their existing licenses (except one) and even getting new content for almost all of them.
0 -
My job is precisely to negotiate acquisition contracts for companies. I certainly know this universe better than you. I am convinced that BHVR does not know how to negotiate the acquisition of licenses correctly or is too stingy to put the desired price. What justifies my thought that they prefer the ease with laxer licenses on exploitation.
0 -
Sorry. But no. You have exactly zero proof for this statement and you are just making destructive accusations against BHVR based on your assumptions and nothing more. You were not part of the negotiations, you haven’t seen anything of the contracts etc.
