Freddy not playable in Lights Out... again
Now here is something I was really hoping would not happen again. I guess not even five years of seeing the game I loved slowly disappear was enough to teach me what to expect.
So, if you weren't around for the first time Lights Out was available, let me explain the situation: Freddy wasn't playable. Literally the only killer in the game to be excluded from the modifier. And as a Freddy main, it stung, but it was understandable.
I mean, it was the very first modifier. Freddy being adjusted separately would require resources, and those resources could be put elsewhere, such as updates that will be available for longer than a modifier. Or at least that was the explanation I was given:
But this time, Lights Out isn't new. It is the exact same modifier except for one new feature. A modifier whose issue of clashing with Freddy's Dream World was known for months. A modifier that was clearly scheduled to return.
So why wasn't Freddy adjusted for it this time?
The Dream World used to be darker when Freddy first released, ya know. It could be done. Or give it the effect of the old Crescent Moon Bouquet / New Moon Bouquet. Or anything, just don't exclude the character, please.
…Ah, this is too much. I love Freddy Krueger to death and I'll never give up on him, but the hits just keep on coming. A character that was perfect on release, got changed far too soon after a nerf that even Cote himself regretted, and since October of 2017 can't seem to catch a break.
Never be said that it is easy to be a Freddy main in DBD.

This is too much, my friend. It is unacceptable.

I think its time to bring it out again…

Darn, indeed. It is what Freddy mains have been saying for over 5 years.
It just never stops: nerfed a week after release, received the worst rework in the history of DBD that completely removed a character from the game, then nerfed again, excluded from Lights Out, excluded from 2v8 (as most killers were, but you get my point) and now excluded from Lights Out again?!?
When does it end? Why must us Freddy mains suffer like this?

Skull Merchant's nerfs were overkill, yes. But at the very, very least, she hasn't suffered for 5 years.
Freddy has it worse. Worse than any other killer, imo.

Kinda ridiculous that they couldn't figure out a way to adjust or remove the dream world effect if it was causing problems with the darkness in the mode, even after all this time. Unless they simply decided Freddy's inclusion wasn't worth the development time, which is understandable for a LTM in a live service game but still very sad.

What makes it even worse is the fact that Freddy mains complained about being unable to play him on the very first day of the original Lights Out.
They've known for seven months, and yet he isn't available again?
Was there even an attempt to fix the issue?

Freddy mains cannot catch a break.

They've had so long to work on this. Why is Freddy not playable again?

Indeed, we can't. And it isn't fair.

I would really like to know, my friend.
They've known for months that Lights Out had issues with Freddy's Dream World, and they could have fixed it.
Not exclude him again.
