Is it me or in the PTB there are no survivors?
Finding a lobby as survivor takes no time, but all lobbies are empty or I find always the same survivors (which are not enough to fill the lobbies). As killer it's the same. It's literally unplayable.
Are they really that butthurt about this patch being mostly about killers that they don't play it (as I read around here and on steam)?
Maybe they should really start to give some reward for playing on the PTB (maybe in form of iridescent shards? *blink blink), otherwise it's completely pointless.

Yeah. Over 15 min to get a match.
2 hours in the PTB was enough for me.0 -
I watched a couple big name streamers yesterday and both were forced to play FYK with subs to be able to test out the new changes. It seems no one is playing it, maybe that will change?

Survivors are not playing the PTB because they think it doesn´t contain anything good for them. So why bother.
They forget, that the PTB is to find out if the new changes are balanced or if they need changing.They are playing themselfes by not giving the devs any data.

I wouldn't want to play against a hag in the ptb either, she was already a pain. But trapper is great!

Well , can you guess why there's not many survivors playing? Not hard to figure out.

Not everyone wants to do the work for the devs and gain nothing from it.
Personally I think it's a waste of time playing on the ptb. If you want to give them data then by all means go and play survivor on ptb.3 -

This is an opportunity they give us to say if we like what they did and if not what needs to be changed. If people don't play the PTB and then cry because of nerfs or changes they don't like, they should just shut the ######### up because they refused their chance to give actual feedback.

Too bad the world isn’t like that. The devs will see constant threads about nerfing too hard, and see survivors refusal to play PTB, the ONLY picture this will paint is the nerfs are too much

The only thing they will see, is that survivor mains don't want a balanced game. But a clown show.Jack11803 said:@White_Owl said:

Survivors have been op for 2 years now. When killers complained, the survivors told them to git gud. Now, that survivors get a slight nerf, it's suddenly the end of the world, and they threaten to abandon the game.
If survivors don't participate in the PTB, then they can't convince the devs that the changes are to much. They will leave all numbers as they are.
Survivors are wasting their opportunity to change things for the better. By being mad, like little children. And I thought the game was for adults only...5 -

Which means that the changes to Hag and Trapper are more likely to go through with there being no crybabies out there.
Prepare for top tier Hag!

you have to understand. survivors absolutely do not want a fair game.. Anything that equalizes the playing field they absolutely hate.

While I agree with nerfing survivor perks, I disagree with HOW they did some of it, but that's not why I'm not playing PTB. I'm not playing PTB because there's no other survivors playing it, not even my friends so I don't have interest it. I played it once, saw the changes and that was it.0 -

I played a few rounds as survivor and found the new mechanics interesting. I don't use any of the nerfed survivor perks, so I didn't miss anything.
I had a good laugh, when I stepped into a bear trap, I had disarmed a minute before.
Was a pleasant surprise. Everything that surprises, be it jumpscare Myers or Rearming traps, is a good thing.1 -
