Hyped for the next chapter

I am probably in the minority, but I actually wish BHVR would take a break from releasing new content for a while and focus resources on game health/balance. Every new chapter just makes this game even more overwhelming and off-putting for new players, even for casual players like myself who have a decent amount of hours in the game but not nearly enough free time to even begin to learn how to play as or against new killers. I understand that they need to do this to keep the revenue stream healthy, but I think there are long-term consequences in terms of how many new players are going to pick up and stick with the game.

Pig and Clown buffs are only things I'm interested in. I also started to think with what I should replace sloppy and Mangled addons and seems like it will be another gen slowdown, what is boring.

So nah, probably less interesting chapter in the last year for me.

I’m about to be annoyed as solo survivor as 3 sables get us all killed expediently in the basement trying to summon demons. I’ll pre take headache medication before playing.

im about to start taking keys in. So if you see me in the fog with a key, please mind your business bc I’ll already be suffering enough.

Assuming the developers didn't butcher good changes or let bad ones through, this one of the greatest DBD chapters ever done. The New Killer is creepy, balanced power, along with good lore, while Sable could become favorite survivor (skins pending). While the map itself looks amazing and balanced.

The other parts though that seem to get less attention though would be PTB killer changes. Huntress change is definitely not the right one in my opinion and could've been better, the Clown changes if they go through will boost him significantly, his mobility is a little better, but his chase will be incredibly dominant now, top 3 chase potential, the Pig ambush changes are good but could go lighter on the changes to RBTs and boxes. Hag changes to me as a Hag main look absolutely remarkable and should definitely make her much better to play, her top tier camping is still unchanged though, so hopefully one day they take care of that. The rest of the changes are nice little quality of life changes to Doctor and Demo.

And I can care less about the mangled changes.

Honestly? I WAS excited about the new map, the new killer, the new survivor and everything.

After being in the PTB for some time and playing outside PTB I realized. This game is heading into a dead end. Adding more dlc's will not be enough to stop this ship from sinking.

I already know that there will be a ton of killer proxy camp and shoot you with UVX as soon as the unhook happens. From there it will be tunneling again.

It is so tiring. So unless something in the core of dbd changes new chapters will no longer excite people for a longer time. You could tell when Alien dropped. Everyone was beyond excited but after just 3 weeks the game felt stale again.

The reason for this is that every new chapter you have to do the exact same thing then the last 7 years. The survivor looks different, cool, the new perks are meh, the new killer is quite okay but are we really excited because his power is something different? Absolutely not. It doesn't really matter what the killer looks like or what power he posesses, we already know we are going to have a ton of sweaty tunnel camper games.

This kills all excitement and makes me even wonder whether why I enjoyed dbd for so long. I just bought helldivers 2, see you around.

I'm excited to pull out the Insidious basement Bubba build.

No one's invocating in my trials...

Does it look nice to you?

I will be one of them 🙋🏻‍♀️

Sorry!

We’ll see about that 😏😎

the map is garbage, wish they'd be more imaginative than a forest with one building for once. The killer looks interesting design wise but all the perks r awful though so overall meh...

for the first time in 6 years territorial has an actual use

Thank you new chapter

The chapter is honestly mostly underwhelming for me.

High point being the map and most of the perks seems fine or decent enough.

Outside of that however, there's not much else.

Visually and lore-wise The Unknown is cool but it's power doesn't appeal to me the same way Dredge's power doesn't.

I'm not a fan of the Survivor, Sable is all visuals and no depth, unless the tome improves her base lore, she has without a doubt the second worst Survivor lore due to how shallow her character is in the base lore, also she probably has the worst Survivor lobby voicelines out of them all.

I wish this wasn’t true but knowing the online community, I know it is 😫. Maybe they can use another survivor skin and dress it up with Claudette’s cosmetics? Wishful thinking, I know.

If it's just the clothes, I'll still be all for it.

Gotta be honest, I kinda dread new chapters as it means I will be facing the same killer over and over and over again.

It is the main reason I cant really stand Wesker, after his chapter came out I get them constantly for months on end to the point I audibly groaned when I would hear his music and longed for even a sweaty Blight/Nurse just for some variety.

So no, not particularly lol
