PTB not this week and is going to be "a little different than usual"
What could it referring to? Bots?
Comments

Hopefully bots.
4 -
the new mori mechanics maybe
5 -
Survivors can now T-Pose at will.
29 -
Referring back to GBK's anniversary stream recap, that would line up with the Halloween date they gave for that.
2 -
It's likely the mori rework. In the anniversary stream they said it would be Halloween 2022, so i think that the mori rework has been delayed but they are going to give a preview of it in the dev update.
Custom game bots are winter 2022 so they are expected in chapter 26.

Yeah I doubt it'll be bots, that's stated for the final update of the year 2022. Maybe we'll finally get the graphical options we were promised in 2019.
4 -
that sounds an awful lot like the mythical 60 FPS on Xbox One, PS4 and lower-end PC's
4 -
Solo survivor improvements. I hope so
2 -
Mori rework.
2 -
Multiple variants of the same change for testing a lot of things at once maybe?
For example Nurse A / Nurse B - Which one feels better to play after these changes?
1 -
Steam Deck/Linux compatibility? Please? Pretty please?
0 -
I think there's a very high chance it'll be the mori rework, since that's supposed to be around now.
Could always be more things alongside that though, I'm pretty hype to see the entirety of the update.
1 -
I was hoping they would reconsider the Mori rework, so many of us hate it, but... probably not.
5 -
My guess is that they are gonna try to make an experimental tab for ptbs, similarly to Overwatch’s experimental game mode but I am not 100% sure on how Overwatch’s experimental build works but hey I can dream
0 -
My guess is multiple tests, or they are specifically testing things that won’t be in the mid chapter.
1 -
There's really only two things left on their 2022 roadmap to finish - bots in custom matches and automatic moris. So it's probably one of those two things. I'm hoping for bots because I'd like to try them out but I'd be happy with the moris too. 🙂
1 -
Mori rework and hopefully some Twins and Onryo changes Onryo needs something
2 -
Don’t insult the bots. At least they don’t ragequit like entitled babies. If they got stuck on a tree, they would be more useful than some of our player base.
1 -
Hopefully they'll fix the cheater/hacker issues first. Since they promised us this last year and never truly delivered because it's still happening and all we're told is to record video of what happened and send in a ticket, which I have yet to find another game that does this with hacker issues.
0 -
I'm thinking that the mori rework has gotten more changes due to feedback hence why it appears that it's been delayed.
1 -
Maybe the Devs finally realized, with all the complaining, that solo queue needs help and are finally going to release the action icons along with a text wheel and improved matchmaking 🫣.
Oh, and a Bush cosmetic for Claudette.
One can dream.
2 -
But maybe they also noticed that solo queue definitely needs help earlier than 2023 and they did some QoL changes for solo queue, which were actually only planned for 2023 earlier and want to test them now in a PTB? Actually solo queue should be the highest priority for BHVR.
0 -
It's going to be basekit Kindred with killer aura, basekit Bond, basekit Decisive Strike every hook, and basekit Wake Up so survivors can stack gen rush and stealth perks
1 -
It's most likely similar to the new wiggle system, you know how all platforms got the ability to opt into testing that feature?
I'm assuming it's like that but on a grander scale, so I'd assume some big tests everyone can get in on. Maybe some new mmr changes, perks, or something
0 -
They are likely not talking about Bots, Mori system or soloq action indicators as those would still not be different to their usual PTBs. Such features were introduced in PTBs before..
though hopefully it still brings some soloq improvements!
0 -
I hope it's twins since they promised us their rework after legion and ghostface
0 -
Actually I think maybe what they meant by "a little different" is they're not showing it off on the Tuesday a few weeks after the last release. Not releasing it on a Tuesday is unusual for them.
0 -
They said "feature", i don't think it will be an exact rework.
Though i would like a mori rework even tho am playing survivor mostly, Perhaps don't make it an offering and tie it instead to a condition like "Hook all 4 survivors at least once" then mori is unlocked.
This could motivate killers to pressure, less tunneling/camping and a good "fear" factor that's not very oppressive. And it does have a counterplay if survivors are mindful and delay it as long as possible.
I really hope they add some sort of social network in-game, like clubs/guilds for killers & Survivors in which they can chat, discuss strats or even group up in SWF with rewards/challenges.
1 -
Hm, I don’t think so. It has happened before, I think even the first PTB in 2022 was on a Wednesday?
i do think it will be sometbkng on the technical side. Maybe for other platforms? Maybe a feature that’s more technical (REPORTING SYSTEM REWORKED? Let me dream)? Idk.
1 -
So, this postponed PTB for September 27 or 28 show us mid chapter will release on October 18th, New rift October 19th and Halloween event starts on october 20th
0 -
They already said ist mostly going to be that the last Survivor get Moried Instant when downed but ur idea is so much better i Hope they are doing this :)
1 -
I feel like it will be bots.
0 -
Hopefully multi killer mode
1 -
oh so basically just a yellow mori as basekit, quite the rework :\
1 -
probably related to the weird new tiles on macmillan
0 -
You will be instantly mori as soon as you are downed. No choice for the killer to hook you or take you to hatch.
0 -
Does anyone remember the last 2 satisfaction surveys of them asking about matchmaking and "thumbs up" "thumbs down" players and possibly using that in their algorithms? Maybe it's something like that? I don't remember exactly how it was phrased in the survey.
0 -
Do you enjoy laying on the floor?
0 -
I don't understand what is supposed to happen if the survivor is knocked to the ground and the killer isn't next to them. When happens if a survivor is knocked to the ground by deep wounds? By a honing stone trapper trap? By a trickster knife?
0 -
I thought they said they’re delaying the solo queue enhancements until 2023-2024? It was on their roadmap for this year initially but they pushed it back in favor of other things, no?
0 -
Yes, hence the “one can dream” at the end 😅.
0 -
Oof. Well, don’t mind me. Didn’t mean to ruin that for you. Dream on!
1 -
Maybe a system that will fix the cheater epidemic?
0 -
A new mechanic that causes survivors to trip and fall when exhausted.
1 -
Thinking a Michale rework with mori rework and maybe they delayed it to add bots because it was probably close to completion
0 -
Much like slasher films
0 -
stop the copium. they already told that they will be doing ######### all for solos this game year
0 -
Pretty sure it was never on the roadmap. They talked about soloq improvements in a dev update (I think January) but never confirmed that it would be those action symbols -that was just an example of what could come- nor did they ever tell us when to expect this. In the anniversary stream it was completely left out and thus never put on the roadmap.
they did push something from the roadmap back to early 2023 - iirc it was the mechanic for being able to actually do stuff like activating challenges or going to the store while you are queueing for a game.
0 -
yeah and those symbols they showed were LITERALLY a reddit mock-up. they didn't show anything official.
0 -
They just said. Apparently if all survivors are in some way incapacitated or dead, the last survivor downed will instantly be Moried and the other survivors will be sacrificed. Game over. The ability to pick yourself up from the slugged state after 45 seconds will be basekit. So the killer can slug, but not for more than 45 seconds.
