Why are you review bombing Dead by Daylight?

Because patch 6.7.0 shouldn't be released. It seems like the first time when both survs and killers agreed that changes are bad. But killers suffer more from this patch.

While i don't agree with them and think it's very sad it is within their right to leave feedback this way. It's what it's there for.

Smart people just learn to make their own mind and not blindly listen to steam reviews.

It is kinda interresing, community is bassically saying to BHVR to never make any drastic changes again and whatever they do never listen to the community again.

Pretty much everything that was changed was asked for in large quantities by the community. And in the big scope of things not that much has changed. 4ish perks got nerfed and the most busted item survivors had was toned down but still is the strongest tool they have.

For BHVR this makes things very easy. Just go back to supersafe changes. Clearly people hate change. They secretly love running the same perks over and over again. What a joke

BHVR has tried to fix the unbalance issue by reworking/buffing/nerfing perks but i think it is not enough.

They must dive into map rebalancing, the last map reworks show they have a lack of knowledge on how to balance a map...

They also have to work some more on the tunneling issue.

I'm playing both sides and i agree that mass tunneling is really really annoying.

This happens almost every time, and the argument is always "but the nerf isnt fun"

Maybe for the people leaving the reviews its true.

It is getting review bombed because the community is bored of what BHVR does with the game and it is legit.

It has been 7 years and we still have the following problems that has been in the game since pretty much the start :

• unbalanced maps
• unbalanced loop forcing you to equip some perks for M1 killers
• DH too strong for YEARS
• Toolboxes too strong
• SWF still way too OP
• Weird nerf choices balancing the game around bad players and so breaking the game at higher level
• and so on...

Sure BHVR has improved the game the last couple of years but they are far from what the community is expecting.

Just look at the last patch, what is this for a full META gen rush ? It is boring, gens are flying and if as a killer you want to win, you have to tunnel and play dirty, that is the only viable option now.

Where is the fun ?

The previous patch had its flaw (regression too powerfull, Dh too strong) but the trials i had were way better on both sides.

The idea behind separating swf and soloq is that you can balance it. So in soloq killers would be less powerful and in swf more powerful. So you will have a way to balance the information aspect from swf etc.

normal mode is just ffa. It would be dbd before sbmm. All addons and items allowed etc. so yeah an swf can come and destroy you, but they will more likely be in the sweat swfq to push rating. This mode is more meant to be a casual messing around experience. This games will exist, it would be much less than before probably.

Don’t get me wrong. This solution is not perfect either, but I think it’s better compared to what we have now. And it’s just the “competitive road” they were starting to walk along.

So this is just an idea to make this game more enjoyable for casuals and soloq players. also for killers who can choose what experience they want to have.

for me as a killer main I can say that I like to face strong swf teams. But not 90% of my games in the evening. Sometimes I just wanna mess around or try sth new. But sadly there is no possibility to do that. Not sure where mmr brought you or the others here, but it’s kinda exhausting to sweat the … out of every game. And I think this is not sth only I want or only killers want. Sometimes you just wanna play for fun, but actually there is only ranked q with a very big amplitude of outcome.

There are many things broken in the game.

First and foremost, the game has been designed around this idea : the killer has to capitalize on survivors' mistakes, if there is no mistake, the killer cannot win.

If you are kind of aware about what game design is, just look at how DbD killers' powers are designed.

Let's take 2 exemples : Billy and Wesker.

Those killers cannot outplay a good survivor in chase; why ?

1. the slowdown applied to their movement speed during the power charge
2. once released, the time you need to reach the other side of the loop and curve

Those two points combined make it impossible to catch a survivor around a loop if this survivor doesn't do a mistake. Try it with a friend, loop around a safe loop and try to catch your friend with your power, you will succeed 1 time out of 20 if your friend is good enough.

So the devs have designed the game this way, what can you do ? Loop with M1, wait for the pallet to drop, break the pallet, repeat.

There are 12 to 20 pallets on each map.

The gamee could have been designed around "the survivor has to use the pallet at the right time" or "the survivor has to dodge the power and then loop again" but it is not the case.

The mistakes come from the pallets RNG where some survivors will lost themselves during the chase but you know what, Windows of opportuny has been created by the devs, the majority of the players use it and it negates completely the possible mistakes they would do. You go from 50% chances they do a mistake to 10% chances.

That is why a good SWF will win 99% of their trials, cause the game design does not allow the killer to win. That is also why survivor mains hate the Blight and the Nurse cause in this case, those killers are outside of the overall DbD's game design...

Dead hard change was needed. The healing nerfs were only too much for altruistic healing, which they fixed by basically making personal healing slow. They nerfed 3 genning. Why are you mad again?

I don't necessarily disagree with these things, but i'm merely responding to the points raised by the person i quoted.

Imagine, wanting people banned for their personal criticisms of a game. How sad. Couldn't be me.

This idea of "review bombing" is stupid in the sense that, companies use it as an excuse to defend their bad product. How many movies come out now that are terrible, and people give it bad reviews, and then they claim "review bombing" and "racism/sexism" or some such other nonsense instead of "maybe my movie is just bad"

Review "bombing" is just a large number of people giving the review they think the thing deserves. In general it seems like a coordinated effort because in sense, it is. But only such that when people think something is bad they are more likely to raise their voice about it than when they think it is good. Making it appear like these people are all coordinating when bad reviews come in and not good reviews, when really it is just human nature.

This is legitimately and objectively one of the most balanced and healthy updates to the game.

Both Survivors and Killers have seen their most meta and most oppressive perks nerfed. Anyone who didn't rely on meta perks as a crutch realises this, but meta being meta, most were reliant on them.

• You have a massive portion of the playerbase who are 'killer mains' and are incredibly offended by how regression perks have been nerfed.
• You have a massive portion of the playerbase who are 'survivor mains' and are incredibly offended by how CoH and DH have been nerfed.

Any healthy level of introspection and personal reflection would reveal this for the fair trade off it is, but instead, we have the vast majority of players who are diametrically opposed and hate this update for two entirely conflicting reasons. Anyone who "genuinely thinks this game is in a bad spot" from this most recent update, is quite frankly, deluded. And if they think that their sudden displeasure at a healthy game update warrants a fresh 0 review to "stick it to BHVR" for simply improving their game, they're not just deluded, they're petty, asinine and pathetic.

I intend to come across as calous to anyone so self absorbed that they think the world is ending because their precious meta perks got nerfed.

How is this game ever going to improve if every attempt at improving it upsets a load of babies who take it upon themselves to ruin the reputation of the game in response?

This update is literally the answer to so many balance issues that players have been complaining about for years, and instead of celebrating it, they're throwing their toys out of the pram, both in game and apparently on steam charts as well. Killers refusing to play properly and slugging everyone out of protest of losing CoB, survivors genrushing and DCing when they can't in protest to not being able to DH every chase, and both mudslinging on steam.

They literally rolled back on all of the issues people brought up and released only the best parts of the PTB. They have never listened to feedback and acted on it as well as they did this patch, and they get repaid by this backlash.

I don't know how they do it, I could never be a game dev, I'd want to shoot all my customers.
