The Console Update

I'm happy for the Xbox users who finally have access to the new chapter! But for us PlayStation users we will have to wait a little bit longer. I know it's frustrating but we need to be patient. I'm pretty sure BHVR has only learned that Console users are impatient... The blame for the time it's taken isn't BHVR's fault at all, they are simply following protocol. They don't deserve all of the backlash they're getting and instead you should be turning your rage to Sony.
Or, you know. You could learn patience. That's another thing. All good things come to those who wait as they say.

    I have been patient. But people don't realise. Telling someone to be patient makes it worse. Next time there should be no release till all 3 platforms are ready. Period. Ptb fine, let pc do it's thing. But for actual release don't release anything till all of them are ready. See how much patients PC has. 
    Well be positive about it, let the people that can enjoy it do so. Our time will be soon

    Honestly if you're just going to make useless comments like "be patient" or "be positive" then don't bother saying anything. Nobody reads that and thinks, "Gee whiz, I never thought of that!" Being patient doesn't have to mean sitting silently in the corner thinking, "La la la, waiting is a-okay with me!" It's possible to voice criticism and not be unreasonably impatient. There's a difference between speaking out because you're frustrated and being a nasty troll. There's no need for the constant tone policing.
    FINALLY someone says that!

    I know patience. I am fine being patient. I have been patient. That does not mean I cannot express frustration with the lack of communication that BVHR has shown the console community. We are allowed to vent.

    As for your last comment. I completely agree. So next patch, all platforms should wait for it to be ready for everyone. You know, patience and good things come to those who wait and all that.

    Ugh i really want the update on ps4. I was so hyped and now i get lowkey sad hahaha

    There's already been a patch to fix stuff that was broken though. Sometimes it's better to wait on ports to make sure everything is working okay. 2 weeks+ is probably a bit much, but at least some of the bugs we had to deal with, I'm looking at you load in and get locked in place, won't be affecting you guys.

    That being said, I hope you all do enjoy the update when it comes out. Lot of fun stuff to it, and there's some things to get adjusted to as well. Should be a good time.

    @Skrzydlata I feel you, man. I'm annoyed too. I just hope it will come out this week. Especially I have 1k shards and 1 mio BP, don't even have Motivation to play because I can't farm anything.

    @arcticxliaThat's what it's all about. But why should we be patient since BHVR is not?

    @Skrzydlata I think it's understanding when ps4 players aren't patient anymore. I'm not and i think its understandable.

    Why hold up PC players though just because Consoles require certification? I've logged in every single day and checked updates. Sure, it's taking it's time. But considering the huge amount of content I'm glad it's coming regardless. I don't play as much anymore merely due to the fact that I've done my best to prepare for the new content.

    Also, off topic questions, I'd like to ask:

    Should I prestige my characters?
    +
    Should I unlock all Killer teachables? I don't see much point to having them since I prefer survivor and the reduced reward for buying already owned perks in the Shrine.

    i am prestiging my chars because i want the clothes.  if the cosmetics don't interest you then my answer is no.

    as far as killer teachables.  now that the removed the cap for iredescent shards, then i would say no.  only buy what you want to use and save the rest for later.  


    my only question is.... did they actually remove the limit or just make it so high that none of us will notice for a very long time? 
  • fcc2014

    @JammyJewels with the new cosmetics and such i wouldn't. Just max out your characters with all the teachable perks you want.

  • arcticxlia
    arcticxlia Member Posts: 53
    @JammyJewels If ur interested in the cosmetics, i wouldn't prestige except laurie because she doesnt have anything. 

    And well, that depends on yourself. I dont play killer often but want them to level now. (But just as far as the teachables)

    Nope, no reason to unlock killer anything if you dont use it or just want it.

    And as for prestige, it's a personal choice but make sure you have all the teachables unlocked that you want to use, if they not going to use Katys new stuff and you have all the teachables you want that character to use then you can go for it, but honestly I see little value in it seeing how with the new store who cares about bloody clothes anymore and yeah the web resizes but its always back up to 40+ or all the way to 50 before I get all the perks I want to run back to level 3's anyway. So... your call :)

    If the updates were released at the same time, it would not be the whole situation and anger. We did not know about the entire certification process, we only received a release date and I think everyone would be satisfied.

    I can't see that much use in the shrine now, I personally would rather get new cosmetics than the Bloodpoints for my shards (have all the Teachables unlocked already).

    As far as prestiging goes: I personally always prestige my characters. It just feels like a waste to me to level over 50 on a non prestiged character. What if I want to prestige the character in the future? Then I'd have wasted bloodpoints (yeah, yeah, more items, addons, etc. but it still feels wasted to me). But that comes down to personal preference, especially now that you can get cosmetics in the store and the prestige outfits aren't the only outfits you can have (mostly concerning killers, survivors had quite a few things to choose from before the update, at least on pc)

    Let's start with the fact that the store is not on PS4 yet and it is not known when it will be.

    You were the one who said good things come to those who wait and we should learn patience. Then lets have all platforms have patience for a release so we can all have those good things we waited for together at the same time.

    PC Players will get the PTB. They'd have been the ones to test the update for the Console players. And why hold the PC Players up due to the fact we don't play on the same console?

    If you feel PC shouldn't be held up by console...then don't have a problem with console players having issues that we get a back seat to the PC players then. You got the update before us and console people were mad, so don't say "we should learn patience" when PC is the devs first child who they care about more.

    Happens frequently with any game that is ported onto different platforms. Hell it used to be that one platform got a game and the other 2 had to wait a month or more for the port. It doesn't happen as much anymore, but it still does happen.

    For some reason people think that their wants should be fulfilled instantly. It's ridiculous. The certification process isn't just a quick checkmark in a box and go ahead. Would you enjoy having a bug filled game that is unplayable? There'd be even more crying going on if that were the case. Ultimately Sony and M$ have the last say on when this update is going to be released on their respective products. You should be voicing your complaints on their forums instead of here.

    See but we don’t know what happened during the process so we don’t know who actually caused what. I highly doubt it was smooth sailing on bhvr’s end. So you gotta blame all parties or no parties

    Understandable, but really your complaints here do nothing. BHVR knows everyone is impatient, they probably have some random in jokes about it at the company, but voicing those complaints doesn't do anything to speed up the process. To be quite honest, it might even slow it down if someone is feeling the pressure and screws up something because of it.

    Need to reign in the frustration and find something else to do while the process plays out. Getting upset and angry over something you flat out cannot control is not good. When the update comes out, then it's time to get upset if it's buggy or unplayable. Pre-release you really can't do anything but causes yourself to have issues.

    I do have to ask, did they ever actually reveal a release date prior? Or was it just one of those "Soon after the PC release is out" type of things?

    They said it'll be released on all platforms soon - in the coming weeks. People are classing the PTB part of the PC and adding it into the time period whereas its literally today where its 2 working weeks in.

    I agree with a lot of what you say Mringasa - you speak sense my friend

    I’m not the one complaining it’s just a lot of people are saying to point the finger at ms/sony when it came to the wait when their just 1/2 of the team. I personally don’t care enough about this game to give it that much weight. Also tbh the chances of someone messing something up because they feel the pressure is very low, you come into to this industry knowing they’ll be pressure.

     From what I’ve gathered many people aren’t upset at just the wait it’s more of an accumulation of things with bhvr. As far as the release date goes I remember them saying June and then it was June 12th. It wasn’t until like it was getting close to release it became June 12th for pc. So if I remember correctly it gave the impression that it was june 12th for everyone until it wasn’t lol
