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.

I'm getting frustrated with this Map Rotation System.

Everytime I play killer as Houndmaster which is A LOT. Instantly I just get Lery's…then hawkins, then back to lery's, then RPD…Does the game just want me to lose, do you want me to play killer? Haha

RPD I can handle a little more but its been CONSTANTLY Hawkins and Lery's. (Shattered Square a lot too)

    Trying to make players happier by boosting maps for various reasons is not the "work smarter not harder" move. They're going to need to make resources spawn dynamically, based on which killer is played (or at least on how deadly the killer is in chase). This will allow for greater practical variety on the killer end of things and reduce the rate at which the game starts to feel stale from both ends. Working on this and in-game video demonstrations for new players will create an environment that allows DbD's player retention (and thereby sales) to grow. So stop telling the studio to shortcut, just have them do the damned work and abandon this pathetic blood transfusion model that hits like a wet noodle.

    I notice this a lot when I play a stealthy killer like Myers, I tend to get bright outdoor maps a lot.
    But if I try my hand at other killers, I often get sent to indoor maps.

    Personaly I cant imagine your pain tolerance because every time I play houndmaster I get some bug that dissables my dog for some time both from attac command and search command, its super annoying (just image if your dash stoped in open are as wesker in half it would feel great).

    Thats why I refuse to play her due to her bugs, without them she would be now well done killer slightly stronger than wesker but with skillfull power to use (and doge as counter) but she doesnt make as money as other killers so devs cant see her, what a shame.

    Ive noticed that when I Play Unknown. Indoor maps make Unknowns Hallucinations very difficult to hide because of there arua reading thing. I also get the wasteland/Autohaven every time im playing Unknown and its frustrating.

    I've had Toba Landing so often I feel like I've joined NASA.

    Twice in 5 games is ridiculous.

    And if play anymore than 3 games guaranteed Toba in game 4.

    Map rotation is broken.

    While having killer specific pallet spawns on each map might do alot for balance... Its alot of work and I dont see BHVR spending that much time on something like that.

    That and who’s to say it would even be functional upon releases. 😅

    BHVR has a tendency of not wanting to touch a killer after they've released it. They might do tiny number tweeks, but itll be several years til they do anything meaningful. Having killer specific map balance would require them to go back and focus on every killer everytime a new map is released. I dont see that happening.

    I got Garden of Joy yesterday and almost cried. Haven't seen that map in three years.

    i agree that it is very frustrating. i understand that their recent change to give all maps a (supposed) equal chance to be given was put in place to prevent realms from suffocating one-off maps, but it's been getting increasing noticeable that certain maps are popping up too frequently over others.

    lery's, RPD, midwich, dvarka, the game, and hawkin's have come up most commonly for me. i have seen less of eyrie's, garden of joy, and redwood. i rarely see the other realms. i think lery's is the most frequent map i end up loading into and it's a little disconcerting.

    i'm unsure what they did with the map chances as of late, but i really miss having variety. it does get very boring seeing the same 6 maps each time i log in. i suppose the easiest way around this is to simply join groups and play customs rather than playing public matches nowadays. perhaps this is the new way?

    Yep exactly. It really shouldn't take years for them to get to killers after they release cough cough houndmaster…Its taken ages just to fix a couple bugs…They have barely scratched the surface on her when it comes to bugs..I have also uploaded 3 new ones recently and reported them..I don't know how they are going to keep up with all of this.

    I am interested to see Tuesdays "Big Bug Fix Patch" that they have mashed all into one update so we will see.

    For me it was Midwich, Lery's, Hawkins and Toba all week. Painfull to play. Occasionaly I'd get a rushtromo, I mean, Nostromo. I think I got a coldwind and a MacMillan. besides that it was just those maps.
