The Amanda's Letter add-on for The Pig has been Kill Switched due to an issue with incorrect RBT count.

So what was the point of the Reddit Q&A..?
..When most answers given was non-answers straight out of a corporate handbook?
I mean like, I feel more frustrated after participating in this Q&A than before it because of the lack of genuine answers to questions given. The fact that they're also not willing to talk about upcoming things meant that a lot of the questions would basically be ignored.
Just.. disappointed, I guess. That's all.
Here's a link to the Reddit Q&A thread → https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/ckrt86/wearebhvraskus_anything/

i agree. it was pretty underwhelming

All their Q/A have been this way for months. Honestly don't see the point for them now.
I've stopped watching/reading them. If anything important is said someone will make a post about it.

Sometimes I'd just like to feel.. hopeful, you know? Like things can change.

If you've noticed in the live ones they're constantly checking with someone whose watching them. Makes me feel like a higher up has taken taken a more "stop sharing important information" approach.

I've noticed it

What did you exactly want them to answer?

More than they did?

Considering that the AMA was announced by the devs and it is not a regular event there was no reason for it to be as worthless as it was
Most likely the thought process was "people are mad about the various issues that we refuse to address properly so lets do something that shuts them up that is very easy and cheap for us to do"

@SenzuDuck - I expected to come away from it with some information that we didn't already know.
Even if it was corporately controlled, they could have at least have prepared some exclusive information specially for the AMA, as a lot of the questions were those that people have been wanting answers to for a long time.
The answer to the second question in the AMA summary tells you all you need to know about how the rest of the AMA went, "Can we have another bloodpoint event?", "Yes, there will be more of these in the future."

They'd not have lost anything by not having a Q&A to begin with. It was no satisfaction to be had because, like you said, we learned literally nothing new.

Question: when we Will see " x "thing?
Answer: we dont have any ETA for now etc..
Yeah its pointless when they dont even know what to Say.

The problem with their Q&As in general is that they often aren't allowed to give a lot of info
They should wait until they have a lot of info and are allowed to share it, then open a Q&A that way they could actually answer the questions instead of giving vague, prewritten answers

Heh, too late for that now.

We actually answered two of your questions.
I'm not sure what more we can even say there. Particularly on the first one, we announced that a change is coming, we just don't have a date for it. This is because there is no date for it yet. It is planned and currently in the backlog. Once we have the resources available to start working on it, we'll say more.
Generally AMAs are not meant to reveal new information, they're a lot more casual and tend to talk about the past. We mentioned right at the top that we can't talk about unannounced content. If you went into it thinking that we would be announcing a ton of new stuff, you would be very disappointed.

Disappointing people is the Behav10r specialty. Lots of practice at it
6 -
It's ironic that the same company is giving a ton of information to their second asymmetrical horror game, namely, Death Garden Bloodharvest. However, it's nothing against BHVR, we just wanna hear about the game's future because we're in a dull moment.
The Road Map doesn't count, we wanna know stuff that's coming very very SoonTM. :)

i just wish they went back to weekly Q&As because I had a question I really wanted to ask but I was at work when the AMA was live...
:(
0 -
The only information we got is "We're not planning to do that" or "We're planning to do that but we don't have the time for it". I really wonder what they're working at that takes up so much of their time.
6 -
maybe theyre working on dedicated servers
2 -
Q&A and livestreams are all the same, same pointless questions get answered every time "whats entitys gender" or "what is the side lore of trapper".
If you expect them to answer any technical questions I'm sorry to dissapoint you.
0 -
They are working at the super asked for battle pass. :)
4 -
Right there trying so hard to keep that game relevant with all this content new modes cosmetics yet they can't even keep 200 actives player they just need to end deathgarden and have that team move over to dbd so they can help improve the game

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF
You killed him bro.
1 -
Yeah it was a pretty major non-event.
At least bring us some information. What's changing with Nurse? So far we've heard "add ons" and we'll be blind to that until it's basically done. I know many people in the community want more details. Is she getting the Hag treatment and losing all the annoyingly complicating downsides on every add on at the trade off of weaker benefits? Is she losing some extra blinks? Is there anything on the table for more unique effects like other killers' ultra rares. (Or for some dumb reason, Wraith's commons. Seriously ######### was Wraith's rework when the whole point was to "normalise" killer add ons?)
We've also been told nothing's changing on Freddy without him being live for a while. Well, he's been live for a while. Is there any info on deleting the haemmorhage status now that it's clear nobody is dumb enough to use it just because it's purple? Why does he even have dream snares when nobody has seen a Freddy not using pallets, just settle on giving him his real power and let him use 2 add ons.
It was more of what we always get. "Uhhhh, maybe?" "That sounds good, but not for the next 3 years at least."

Its to make the sheeple in the community think they have any say in the upcoming changes or suggestion for the game.
Really BHVR is just curious as to what we as a whole are wanting the most right now.
0 -
Two of the OPs questions were answered during the QA, he's literally just complaining to complain.
I really don't see what more they could have done to appease him.
Additionally, how does a "Q&A" make people think they'd have a say in the game or upcoming changes? lmao.
2 -
Even if you ask for information that is past or present-tense, it doesn't matter; the answer will always be unhelpful.
We as players are woefully uninformed about the actual state of the game. This is not unusual; it's the case with most games, but so too is players wanting accurate information so they can have informed discussions about balance.
We will never know the point of New-Freddy, beyond getting rid of old-Freddy.
1 -
Ummm hello? In the past the Dev's have asked for our suggestions on the most recent changes so they can they can make us think our say has any input.
You act like these threads don't exist
1 -
You act as if a Q&A is a "give us suggestions" post.
Asking people how they find a new peek, map or killer has nothing to do with suggestions, lol.
Usually it's a 1-5 scale asking if people are enjoying it.

Exactly
0 -
Not really. I asked if they're planing on doing something with struggle mechanic (which was a "no for now") and if they plan on adding lootboxes too, which was a sort of "no to maybe" answer.
Both were questions we basically already knew the answers too. I was hoping for something more.. concrete in terms of answers.
0 -
Like what? What exactly were you expecting them to tell you? It says at the top they can't discuss new features. They won't tell you exactly what they are doing because that will probably change by the time it comes out.
It's like asking Kevin Fiege exactly what is going to happen in phase 4. Obviously he doesn't know exactly what will happen and even if he did he's not going to tell you. Expecting an answer is just silly.
And your second question was very obnoxious the way you asked. Like you were baiting them into admitting they are cheating customers out of money or something. If you knew the answer then you are just asking to troll them. Obviously you have a grudge against how they choose to handle DLC and microtransactions. Again, what do you expect them to say to a baited question like that?
1 -
and even after all this, they say they aren't planning on adding lootboxes in a paid form.
and then he comes in here and disingenuously tells everyone it was a "no to maybe" answer. It was a flat out no paid lootboxes.
If they say when something is coming, they get slated, look at Dedicated servers, the majority of people don't even know when summer ends and there's already been posts saying "summers over when dedicated". They don't give uncertain release dates because it's too much hassle if something is delayed.
Crunch is a serious issue in the industry and anyone pushing for more dates for stuff like this is adding to it, I know BHVR recently said they abolished crunch in their company which is probably why they don't like giving dates out for anything anymore.

I think the problem people have with "diplomatic" answers is that they aren't really answering anything.
For example:
Do you plan on balancing the game around SWF?
Either be:
Yes, we plan on making gens take longer or stop many gens from being worked on at once or adding power spike that drops progress on all gens when at least one gets finished or something of sorts.
No, we don't see it as a problem.
Even if they are just ideas and if they would need to sit on PTB for ages while you work out details and balance, they actually answer questions.
Sorry but "We are looking into it" or "We always have it in mind" don't hold much of a value. Even freddy rework as an example was "being worked on" and "released soon" for over a year.
Phantom hits with killer animation playing as if they hit a survivor while survivor runs uninjured are big issues that are being looked into for ages now.
Usually such Q&A's are done with person that is actually deciding on such things and he/she can explain his vision of the game and how it is supposed to look months from now. Meanwhile most of the answers we got could have very well been answered by someone completely green in the topic(with few exceptions mind you).
