What do you want to see in the game?

Feel free to ask for clarification if you don’t understand an option.

    The new End Game Mori falls under the “New Mechanic” option.

    I think realistically the people on the ground are doing all they can with what they’ve got with regards to cheating. I mean honestly if those free epic store accounts or whatever are the issue there’s nothing they can do now unless they want to make dbd 2 which has its own problems. No matter how good the anti cheat is, if they’ve got a huge amount of free accounts they can just jump to nothing you can do will matter. The arms race will just continue forever,

    Camping and tunnelling on the other hand are results of poor design choices that haven’t been corrected and is an easier problem to address. Provided they are willing to let go of said bad design choices and not be caught up in their outdated ‘vision’ of how they like to see the game.

    Another interesting thing not into this list is solo queue improvements. I still put camping/tunnelling above that but not by much.

    I consider solo que improvements to be a balancing problem, so that would go under General Balancing.

    None of the above. What they should focus on is undoing a bunch of the stupid changes they made.

    You don’t like the balance changes, so choose General Balancing

    I'm glad they are dealing with the problem. It's the biggest threat to a game to be infested with cheaters because people stop playing if there are too many of them.

    Hmm that’s pretty vague though. One of the problems lately with their direction is that the balancing is an arms race between swf and killers with solos being left in the dust. General balancing as far as they are concerned may not address that.

    It might even the discrepancy in the fact that low skilled killers against low skill survivors have much higher win rates then high skill killers against high skill survivors. Neither here or there though because neither issue is my first choice.

    More server locations

    As someone who lives in Atlantic Canada I frequently have to deal with 100+ms ping, it's frustrating

    They're a company in Canada yet they don't have any Canadian servers, like what???

    Ah I’m sorry there’s no option for you 😔

    Optimization. Performance issues are already popping up on the new gen consoles and they're still plaguing last gen. They need to optimize the game to run well on all platforms and get control of their performance issues.

    I should note that these things aren't mutually exclusive. Behaviour is a decent size company and can comfortably work on more than one thing at a time. In particular, for example, New Skins would probably mostly be handled by a different department than the department that works on anti-cheat measures. So it's not having one is taking away from the other.

    That said if I had to pick a top priority item it would be finding ways to get rid of cheaters. Of everything in this poll cheating is the only one that is literally a potential existential threat to the game in the long run.
