Do you want improvements to old killers or more new killers?
So basically do you want bhvr to go back and improve old killers by giving them add-on passes maybe even slight reworks, or would you prefer they keep releasing killers at the pace they are at now?

Refine existing killers
I wish they'd take a year off and work on refining the game into a true AAA title and making DbD into the asymmetrical juggernaut and king of the genre that it should be. They could retain way more players and devoted fans if the game made a better impression on players and the game was fully realized and well implemented rather than being spaghetti code barely held together with spit, old chewing gum, rusty paper clips and rotting rubber bands.
If a competitor comes along with a well-coded game that stops trying to kill the killer, has a good formula for making balanced perks, killers and maps DbD dies not long after.

Whats is the point of having 500 different killers if 99% of them aren't worth playing.

Yea srsly, maybe not even a year just take off one or two 'season' of developing new characters and dedicate to a quality of life update and I think that the game would feel so much better as a result for all playing.

I'd rather them to slow down with releasing killers, which yes, would make a lot of people mad, but more =/= better.
How amazing it would be if instead of new DLC we would get a massive rework patch, focused only on fixing problems.
Creating a new killer every few months must be absolutely exhausting and leaving barely any time for balance, reworks and fixes.
Or we could get an update with maps for past dlcs that didn't get one. Or update to fix current map problems (*cough* offerings *cough* )

I'd say refine old killers but also work on the overall balance.
There is already a crowded roster of killers and survivors, I think at some point it would be nice adressing the actual reasons why DbD's player retention is not that great. New killers can pull in new players, but if they just play a few games, get put off by the toxicity and high frustration, and don't keep playing, then it's not very sustainable.
As the game is, and as much as I enjoy DbD, it took me several hundred hours into it to even get half decent at it. When a friend asked me if he should get into the game, I could not genuinely recommend he played it.
As much as 6.1. could be frustrating, more overall balance patches would be welcome.

Make four paragraphs over the next year opposed to four chapters. Release two survivors and two killers while focusing on things from reworking killers to fixing bugs.

The hag is so extremely bugged right now and needs a buff/rework so badly.
Also, Pyramid head needs a buff

i'd rather have them put 3 months of work into fixing current killers instead of a chapter, sort of like a game health update

👽 BOTH OFC.
This Post sounds a little like bHVR cannot do both changes to existing killers and have teams making new killers at the same time.

Emphasis on Improvement. Not slightly tweaking or adjuatments like billy did get.
This is a top killer protection post lol.

It doesn't look like they can.
Last killer updates we got was in april and last mid chapter had nothing in regards to balance changes cuz they were testing the mori rework that nobody really wants...

How fast do you want those Killer changes?
0 -
Ideally every mid chapter or every other mid chapter. Nurse and Blight are always complained about and killers like Freddy and Myers are very outdated for a long time.|
Also twins changes were confirmed in january and we won't see them until next january at least. 1 year for quality of life updates on 1 character /30 is too slow.

okay.
maybe you should try suggesting that instead of lowkey trying to hide your suggestion in an economic strategy that is worse than the current.

That's not what i was doing actually.
I made this poll to see if BHVR are doing what people actually want them to by releasing new killers every 3 months, seems like it is not, but it wouldn't matter anyways cause it is better economically for them to release as much DLC as possible.

they definitely need to revisit already existing killers. if they keep adding new ones eventually there are gonna be too many to keep track of.

Commenting for more visibility. So much wasted potential with unrefined killer kits and addons.

Six months of no new killer/survivor while they rework the entire game would be great.
