IMO We don't need more new content, just fix the stuff we have.

Yeah I agree. The roster is already pretty large as it is so it’d be nice if they could touch up the killers and improve/give them new abilities so they don’t feel so stale. And of course bug fixes.

@AStupidMonkeyy

I'm ok with cosmetics as it's the design team handling it. It's a separate team so they're not wasting time and it doesn't affect gameplay

But the last thing we need is new perks until everything is balanced and sort it out.

Don't get me wrong I love this game and appreciate how much work is being put into it. But I feel like everything needs just do good go over before we could start adding new stuff

Perks

There are still perk that are practically useless like left behind and monstrous shrine

Some perk have become beyond conditional and niche especially for the restrictions placed on them furtive Chase and dark devotion.

Add-on

Lots of Killers need a good add-on pass.

Legion has multiple addons that work with the old kit and are severely detrimental to the new one. One of which is terrible on both legion's old kit and with the new kit but it was at least passable on the old kit (fuming mixtape)

Amanda's add-ons besides combat straps medical file and video tape are severely underwhelming especially of the change to her endgame traps it practically made most of the Trap related ones useless. Common and uncommon add-ons should not be outperforming Ultra rares in Amanda's case they definitely do.

Some nurse's add-ons make it extremely frustrating to go against her especially if you're up against a good nurse it practically turns the match into a hatch game there and then.

There are still multiple Killers who don't fit the full add-on pattern

And that's only few killers examples that I previously talked about before.

Baseline kit

A lot of Killers need improvements or alterations to the baseline kit.

Plauge is too survivor controlled

Legion is too heavily restricted by their own power

Don't even get me started on Bubba at this stage he only really excels at camping.

Amanda's Crouch and ambush feels lackluster and her traps received a massive nerf to where they could apply the most pressure without any compensation.

If the design team wants to put out cosmetics I'm happy with this they're not the ones who are typically handling these types of problems however adding new perks when there's already so many issues is just going to add even more stuff to the list.

IIT: people who totally know how the industry work

If you want an operation health where all hands on deck are fixing visual, audio, balancing, and other things - I can get behind that.

Ok I'm not crazy. My game always ends or crashes the last few seconds of playing as Plague. I've even had people upload videos claiming I rage quit. You don't even have to be vomiting. The last time I was merely walking as one died and one escaped... Then crash!

Something people seem to ignore a lot.

They're a business, and not a huge business at that. They need to keep ######### working, dedicated servers are coming, and they need to pay their employees.

Have you guys even seen the playerbase graphics when new content comes out? That ######### is crazy. They'll never break the "new content every 3 months" cycle because that's what boosts the player numbers. They'll never stop pumping out cosmetics either because it's one of their main sources of income.

I want many things with the game fixed, as much as any of you do. But the "stop with the new content and fix your game" suggestions are, and I'm sorry to put it that way, useless. They'll never do it. Never ever. I guarantee you guys. And that's smart from them, because it would harm the game, and most people here aren't in a position to understand that.

If you want the game to prosper and last, wanting new content to stop is counterproductive. Yes, there are plenty of things to fix. But if they don't put out new stuff, they won't have the resources to fix anything. As simple as that.

If your logic was correct people would have stopped playing a long time ago. This game has never been not buggy.

DLCs are still a large part of their sales. Most players I know personally buy every single one of them, even if they don't buy skins.

Say whatever you want, suggesting something they'll NEVER do - proved by their plans for the next year, which already include one chapter every 3 months and a rework - is pointless and repetitive. Not gonna happen.

And stop comparing DBD to a huge game from a huge company which has a dramatically bigger playerbase, thank you.

This.

You clearly have no understanding of how the real world works with both money and businesses.

They have a system and a timeframe that works for them. No company would ever opt into making half the money they normally make for half a year.

The way the game is made probably assures that there will ALWAYS be bugs every time you change anything. The only way to change that is to make a DBD 2 from the ground up.

What keeps this game alive is the new content. As long as it's playable, they will not stop with the content, and rightfully so. If you exclude the 20 people raging on the forums no one will stop playing because of a few bugged perks, while being deprived of new content would surely push many players away.

Unless you somehow start a revolution and there's a mass exodus, gantes is right.

Too many suckers are sticking around for them to worry about the minority that will actually leave if x thing happens.

I agree with the OP.

Throne of lies just did something like this (taking a break from balancing and content to fix the back-end stuff and bugs) and it did the game wonders.

To be fair that's sort of what the mid-chapter updates are supposed to be. So it's good that they do that.
