Favorite announcement from the stream?

Few things:

1. this means that older licenses could be expanded upon and getting extra maps
2. Texas chainsaw massacre doesnt have a survivor either. Nor do Billy, Trapper and Wraith. Not really an issue.
3. Meg, David, Jake, Dwight and Claudette do not have a killer either. Nor does Ash(cant believe people keep forgetting Ash is licensed)
4. L4D doesnt really have a specific killer, Bill was pulled into the Entity after dying, none of the L4D infected really had bloodlust. Sure, they would attack humans on sight, but humans werent really hunted down by them.
5. Scream license was just the mask. So there was no licensed map or survivor. L4D had no killer, and maps tend to be tied to killers. Texas Chainsaw Massacre technically has a map, as Coldwind Farm gained a map on it's release(and Coldwind Farm was already heavily based on TCM locations). Hellraiser doesnt have a map as the box being opened only really summons Cenobites when opened outside of hell, and there isnt really a location bound to Hellraiser that is significant. Ringu kinda suffers the same thing. There is a map if there is a common location. For Jason? Camp Crystal Lake would easily fit. For Chucky? I mean, maybe the toy factory as that one appears twice, but even then, not really a location. Ash does have locations, but no killer(same issue with L4D)
6. Maps for Blight, Twins, Trickster, Hellraiser and even Ringu were skipped to rework older maps. We basically got all existing maps renewed which was absolutely neccesary.

As for adding another RE chapter for RE fans. No, there are simply a few common requests for licenses. Wesker and Nemesis were both demanded heavily. I wouldnt be surprised if Wesker was originally intended to be the year 6 anniversary and agreed upon when Nemesis was being added. Technically, Silent Hill has made an appearance through Nurse before, as Nurse is based on the nurses in Silent Hill. Billy was based heavily on Bubba.

As for the improvement for the HUD in SoloQ, while in a game like VHS its fully needed as the game is heavily based around comms, in DBD there are non-comms teams that are stronger than a lot of comms teams. So you need to consider that into the design, meaning you cant just copy-paste the things from VHS to DBD. You'd have to playtest the given information first and adjust how much info is given, how the info can be interpreted, how you want the info to be interpreted and if the info can be used in other ways other than just gaining info on teammates. That takes quite some time. In addition of other things that have a bit more priority than improving SoloQ experience with 10%, like changing the meta in a way that improves the SoloQ experience with 60%.

As for improvement on the long term, I mean, look at the state of the game before each anniversary. It's definitely improving a lot. The changes to improving the game are not big enough to notice between updates, but its massively improving. Look at the 2020 anniversary and people could remove 3 totems from the game and still DS the killer. Look at the 2019 anniversary and you have killers running Pop and Ruin together, slowing down games so much that even Billy was an S tier killer. Billy dropped to an A-tier killer after the ruin nerf(which is why so many people claimed the old ruin was better, even though the new ruin is objectively stronger, but lacks synergy with pop). 2018 anniversary and you have people proxycamping the obsession on the hook with a mori, while using Ruin, Pop and Dying Light, basically guaranteeing 3 kills with effectively 0 effort.

Does the game improve too slow for your liking? Take a break for a bit, dont suffer through a game you currently do not like to play. I am currently on a "break". I only play like 12 hours a week at best, when I used to play easily 32 hours a week. I have taken a 2 year long complete break, no playing DBD at all, before that aswell. So this is coming from experience. You're burned out from DBD, take that break.
