Freddy update?...losing faith after a years wait... Request for Devs
Ok....
While I primarily only use "The Nightmare" and as of recently, "The Plague"--it was the introduction of "The Nightmare" to Dead by Daylight that made me interested in the game in the first place.
I believe that I am of the mindset that the current perk/add-on killer mechanics created for "The Nightmare" were fine; apparently I am in the minority and I'm OK with that as well... I am not OK though with this increasing delay and lack of communication as to the fabled "The Nightmare" rework.
There has been extremely limited information as to what is happening with "The Nightmare" and while I love the game overall, and recognize the efforts being made towards improving communication on various fronts--this particular one grates my nerves.
Honestly if the intention was to continue to withhold information over such an extreme period of time as it relates to this mythical rework of "The Nightmare" killer--perhaps it would have been a good idea not to have said anything at all and just instead..oh I don't know, one day, introduced the reworked killer on to the Public Test Build?
Perhaps Peanits can provide some insight (FINALLY) as to what's going on. I am one of those players that doesn't have a problem dropping cash into the game to support it, since I truly appreciate the hard work and effort all of bEHav10ur as a collective whole have undertaken to bring the killers and survivors to life... I do however expect "effective, timely and reasonable" communication---especially if it's something that I, a paying customer, am truly interested in.
So I ask, please provide some official, definitive, concrete information with regards to the status of "The Nightmare"--(not asking for leaks obviously)--and put an end to this ineffective "silence" which has been all but apparent for over a year or more... what's the point?
There's a big fan base (I'm included) that thoroughly enjoy "The Nightmare" in this game, and to continue to provide ZERO information as to this mythical rework--when i say information, I don't mean "oh, we're working on it.... oh it's taking time... oh it's almost done.... oh it's in the testing phase"... I am looking for official word as to what it is you as a development team have done to date that can AT THE BARE MINIMUM, provide some basic understanding as to what we, "The Nightmare" mains, can expect from our most used killer. This will also give, at least myself, a reason not to question whether the continued consumer loyalty I have put into bEHav10ur has been misplaced.
Thanks for reading.

I'll start this one...
You say not asking for leaks.. but isn't that what you are asking for?.. them to release information on the rework itself, other than they are working on it atm. They put out the Legion than Freddy is next.

Cute; but no... your usage of the term leaks imply that I am requesting a release of unsanctioned, unofficial, information pertaining to "The Nightmare"; however I believe my post is quite clear in terms of what kind of information I am requesting. But Cute picture nevertheless.

I don't know where to start. First of all I totally agree to TheBean. What you are doing is asking for leaks. The devs have given all information that is necessary for us. Remember that the devs never reveal changes/reworks/new stuff before having finished it. However, they revealed the Legion changes before releasing the PTB. So the only thing you are doing is creating panic. The devs will provide us with Information as far as they have valid Information. And also nothing is different from past releases and changes. So your Post makes absolutely no sense. The Information Situation is the same as with past changes. I still Trust the devs and are very excited for the changes. And you should be excited too and not crying about the things, because that make no sense because the situation is the same as always and nearly everybody is ok with that.
Have a nice day.

Hey, freddy/wraith main here, honestly I like to speculate, really I think if they do release him finished I doubt he will have his in dream aura reading, my reason is the new ghost perk would make him pretty op

Hey TrueKn1ghtmar3,
I'm all about speculating as well but will hold out until some "official information" is released concerning "The Nightmare". Thanks for the feedback though.

@xiozen yeee.. but you are asking them to tell you information they aren't ready to tell yet.
So are you just asking them to hurry up?... or are you asking for a date they will release "official" information.
They've never intentionally released information until they are ready.
You are going to get the same answer from them until they are ready...
SOON™

you complained too soon. the Dev Update is tomorrow. might want to read up on the Developer Activities section before you write up a very long discussion about something that more than likely will be talked about in said Dev Update for May.

It will likely be in the developer update that is slated for tomorrow. Patience.

Love your optimism; but and this is not my attempt at trolling; excuse me if I don't hold my breath. If anything concrete or revealing is provided regarding "The Nightmare" tomorrow, I'll stand corrected and will also be pleasantly surprised. But I expect more ho-humming. Nonetheless, we'll see.

Freddy is not bad, you just can't use him as standard chase killers. He is the worst killer if you do so. Requires specific approach, just like Hag. Your goal is to keep as many survivors in dreamworld at time.
He relies on addons too much tho, just like Doc. But Doc has diversity and many playstyles while Freddy does not.
His power should have slightly longer range, slightly reduced skillchecks odds in dreamworld and no slowdown after using power as baseline.

Wraith had his day. Temper your expectations.

Freddy main here. I don't want the rework, because I agree with you. How ever he does need 3 things changed about him.
1. Too many bugs. From not being to pick up downed survivors if their being healed, to not being able to lunge if an awoke survivor is in front of him.
2. He's not fun to play against. From not being counterable, to slowing the game to a crawl, he needs something for some counterplay.
3. Achievements and emblem system works against him. Freddy wants to give up on a lot of chases, being more powerful at 1-2 gens left, and wound a lot of people, but the emlbem system punishes all of those things and more. Also the adept nightmare achievement is way too hard, because he and his perks especially together don't make for good pipping.

They destroyed pig and showed me cringy selfie version of ghostface. I have zero faith in there ability to deliver proper licensed killers. Gonna look elsewhere for respectful tributes of characters. I really thought a game about embodying roles as killers would get there personalities right. But they don't care about characters just selling you another original killer. Don't need ghostface, jason, or leatherface cause there already in original roster. Plus if there not 100% commited to character they will make them awful.
Horror fans have been saying were fake horror posers in dbd community. I always hated them saying that with strong killers like pig in immersiveness. But im starting to believe those people were right. Noone cares about the character being themselves and more if they play well. I have given up on dbd and been here since the alpha.
I just wish they stuck to original killers and didn't destroy love for these horror icons. I still love them in movies but in games they get zero care and respect. I really hope they don't touch candyman or any other killers cause just gonna take a piss on the franchises. We have enough of creators doing that in the franchise itself. But to have a game that is proud of making ######### tier horror icons. Is a bigger load of garbage compared to making all killers weak to survivors. Always thought making killers weak was dbd biggest issue but making killers not go with the iconic roles is mine.
I hope all these killers get own games where they get some respect cause bhvr is sure not caring to lend some.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I stopped spending money on this game after Ash released. All we get are more rubbish killers, broken perks and weird changes that don't help the game to be better than it is. As for ghostface who looks like an Assassin's creed cosplayer with the ghost mask slapped on and his lame power that's a weak version of Pig/Myers, it's not worth the time or money.
