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.

PTB should be a thing of the past

for the last couple of updates that have gone through the PTB it has proven time again the “feedback” is extremely out of touch with base players. Everything gets released is to strong or not worth it.

This new killer is the final straw. Whoever thinks they have an enough time to be eating glowing fungus is out of their mind. Interactive things like this have no place is PVP games, this one is to fast paced and is completely not controller friendly.


I’m still mad about Freddy

    So you rather don't have a testing-phase than one you could improve in theory? That's a really smart thought I must say.

    Also they will balance it eventually, but I'm already seeing that she will be hated for the time being. Typical dbd I guess xD

    Last couple? The PTB has always served as more of a demo. The testing window is too small, the pool of players is too limited, and the feedback often doesn't go through. Correct me if I'm wrong, but even the devs say that some of the feedback that they do implement can't be put forward in time.

    Yes let's get rid of the ptb and say F it, just throw it all on live servers /s

    most of the feedback is ignored and it goes live as is then tweaked. There really isn’t a point and again it’s to limited to certain players. They either have to pull it or make changes after it goes live. It should be released and then all player feedback.

    And that's better in your eyes because of what? You said yourself "most feedback is ignored" means some of it is considered, sounds to me like it would be balanced even worse at release than before. (Your point with the number of people is valid I guess, but at the same time I'm still thinking it's better to have some feedback before you throw it at the liveservers)

    Also I think you kinda forget that they fix at least a few of the bugs from the ptb, if we already have so much afterwards I don't want to see what happens if they instantly throw it at us live.
