Most stuff but they will announce that killers will get more stuff for unique hooks.

I don't know about predictions but I do know what I hope to see.
I imagine they will adjust Wicked and Babysitter to not be busted, but I also hope Breakdown gets a look too, it's a bit too good for its use cases. Ideally Furtive gets a small buff and Beast of Prey only gets a small nerf, too.
Also hoping the Styptic Agent gets some attention too, it's kinda worthless on the PTB.Then for killer: Bloodlust after a fresh hook increased to at least Bloodlust 2, though ideally it'd be Bloodlust 3. Then, a note to change certain killer power interactions in a future patch, and hopefully a note to introduce more bonuses later too.
Then for survivor: Haste and Elusive unchanged, but Endurance lowered to a much shorter timer. Ideally they'd also make the Haste a higher percentage too, but it works just keeping it as it is too.
Everything else I don't have super intense opinions on.

Hey you ❤️
Hmmm 🤔Anti Tunnel will be changed or altered.
Anti slug will get a slight adjustment
Anti camping might stay as is or have its range slightly reduced. (Might remain untouched)
Skull Merchant - they will likely move forward with her rework and just keep the buffs on her in the meantime.
Pallet density will be reduced for specific maps.
These are my thoughts! 💭To name a few…Hopefully they have had sometime to really think about the feedback and changes so they are applied correctly. ☺️

I don’t expect it changed conceptually. Probably postponed again or going live with minor changes

Anti face camp will have the radius reverted but the scaling on bar fill speed (from the killer sticking around) will stay
Anti slug will be added as-is
Anti tunnel will be delayed yet again with no update on what they're going to try next
They'll also revert some of the pallet changes but in a way that annoys one side players on both sides - they'll hit a sour spot where survivor mains feel like it's a slap in the face because "some maps spawn dead zones" and killer mains feel like it's a slap in the face because "m1 killers are still unplayable"

I predict 2 possible outcomes
BHVR will keep most of the changes and actually make a game changing update while every dbd YouTuber has a meltdown
BHVR changes some aspects or reverts some things the dbd community will say we won but in reality they bent the knee to the YTs and the update is just another dbd update

I only predict the usual disappointment.
The worst decisions will be made.5 -
I think they will keep most of it this time with some minor changes, probably lower the duration of endurance and increase the bloodlust benefit for killers.
I doubt Wicked is making it to live, the Resurgence combo was ridiculous.
Hopefully changes to the syringes and styptics since the PTB changes to them missed the mark pretty badly (PTB syringes were still busted and styptics were nearly worthless), as well as Original Pain since it was too similar to the existing Greasy Black Lens addon (but it shouldn't be reverted, it should do something else).
edit: and hopefully a revert on Autohaven lighting because that was awful

BHVR has bent the knee to the whinny killer mains again
Not surprised

Called it. All these threads acting like the PTB stuff was going live after we have all seen they consistently revert anything based on any negative feedback from killer players. The days killers can act like victims are over. They're basically picking and choosing what goes to live themselves at this point - they don't get to act like the underdog any more.
I look forward to the killer content creators twisting themselves in knots to somehow paint this release as survivor sided and figure out what they can whine about next. Maybe they'll stick with their made up go next epidemic.

well tunneling and slugging changes got nuked. camping changes are coming through but with reverted range back to 16 meters (why??? it is so easy to camp with the 16 meter range. at least with the 20 on ptb the killer actually had step back to a reasonable area and not looking dead center at the hook from a couple feet away…). pallet density is getting nerfed. syringe and styptic nerfs are still coming through, all the perk changes from ptb are being reverted… im so disappointed in these devs. made us survivor players believe we were getting changes to help alleviate the frustrations to tunneling and slugging for THE WHOLE YEAR only for them to can it at the last second with NO info on if or when it will be back for testing.

thanks dbd CC!! 😁👍

Nah at this point I will stop playing. Second patch with 0 content while getting hugely disappointed.

Based on the framing when they announced they were dropping the anti-slug/anti-tunnel it sounds like they're just going to look at adjusting MMR calculations as if that has anything to do with slugging or tunneling and call it a day. Survivors aren't getting any changes that help with either behavior. Anti-Slug/Anti-Tunnel is clearly something they're just not going to continue caring about. Survivors who are concerned about this behavior and have negative experiences due to it can just sit and spin apparently.
Killer complaints result in actual changes to the game. Survivor complaints result in nothing.

lmao it's even worse than I thought

No one mentioned the 15s Endurance/Haste change?
That's pretty big.
Med-Kit Exhaustion Reset add-on will also be meta.

an extra 5 seconds won’t do much in the average game. the least they could’ve done along with the 5 second increase was add in Elusive.

Agree. I don‘t get why they scrapped elusive and they should have added the effect of wicked basekit that the killer won‘t get a unhook notification.

- basically they haven't changed anything, can I say I expected that?🤣

Lots of changes pulled? How tragic :( Alexa, play Despacito.

It seems I was wrong.

I look forward to the killer content creators twisting themselves in knots to somehow paint this release as survivor sided and figure out what they can whine about next.Somehow I think the exit survey will continue to live on as the go to complaint about bias, even when it was the most obvious complaint about the game (i.e. why did we even need a survey) and BHVR ultimately capitulated on their changes despite them saying people were literally quitting the game over it.
