Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

That's right. Rant time... well kind of... I have some constructive criticism.

Backwater Swamp is rather ugly and really has nothing going for it as a realm other than the hole placement because you can use them for funny or interesting plays. Other than that, I hate the map with a passion.

Okay, so where exactly do my issues with the map's visuals come up:

  • Mud, Mud, and more Mud... Seriously, I get that the place is suppose to be wet but a lot of Swamps are more than just mud. You have various forms of Clay and Silt that can form inside of Swamps, and believe or not, the entire thing isnt wet, you can find actually Dirt there just as much as Mud.
  • The Foliage is boring... Tall Grass and Cattails, nothing else really. Please, BHVR, add interesting plants into the Swamps. Willows are absolutely beautiful and would make an amazing addition to the game, in the DBD art book there was planned to be Blood Willow Tree but it never got added, maybe you could move that into Backwater Swamp?
  • The missing Swamp Village... yes, this needs to be said. Way back in the Beta, there was a planned Swamp Village that never got added to the game. In fact, if you own the DBD Art Book, there is some concept art that referencing it, and I still find it sad how we never got that map.

So BHVR, please consider Backwater Swamp for a Map/Realm Rework, it would be amazing to see this Realm not be as ugly and actually be something nice to play on.
