Q&A: 3.3.0 PTB

The Tome/Rift forces you to play roles you mightn't typically play. And if you recall the last Hallowed Blight Event where you were forced to play half killer/half survivor for serum - that basically broke the entire game via queue times... Any comments on how this could brake the game for everyone when it goes live? How about making each challenge a killer OR survivor one instead?

Which specific technical components did you choose to optimize with this patch? The difference between this and the previous patch cannot be felt on very low end PCs, and there was not a single mention about this topic for quite some time now, sadly.

Ptb: Will perks like Dark Devotion give the Undetectable status effect in the future? Any add-ons for other killers that could see it?

Insta-heals were often seen as toxic behavior,

Can we expect other ingame changes to help reduce behavior seen as toxic, such as a cooldown on crouching for tbags or point blank face campinge?

This is probably not that important, but will some charms now or in the future glow or sparkle. Like the sparkle from the lanterns from new year or glow like the serum on killers and survivors.

Here's a question:

Will Peanits update the answer post answering more questions or is that all the information that will be answered?

Why didn't Legion receive a Halloween skin like all other killers?

Will only Basegame/Free characters be receiving Rift items?

How would you feel about changing the way you level perks up? Instead of making it so you have to find them more than once in the bloodweb you could make it so you unlock them once and then using them in a certain way unlocks the higher level version of that perk. For instance, to level nurse's calling you could have to down a set amount of partially healed survivors and so on. This could change the perks from a grind of blood points to a fun way of embracing that perk's capabilities. In essence it would stand to make the process of leveling them more fun and educational, which would be particularly helpful with newer players.

Have concerns about the archive being too difficult to complete for casual players been addressed?

Will there be DLC killer challenges in the Archive?

is Spirit getting any treatment anytime soon? you really cant play the killer without someone dc. because she is broken and specially her add-ons.

Will Second Wind be changed to be a bit more useful, like say when you heal someone a full health state, you can active it with your activation button and it will take 30 seconds to heal you. I feel like that would be more useful than healing someone and then using it after you get off the hook?

When are dedicated servers coming to PS4 and XBOX One?

Will you reduce the gap between the rewards of the paid and free path in the rift?

Shortly after the rework, we were told that Freddy's terrible haemmorhage and blindness add ons would be monitored for their use in order to be determined if changes were needed.

What is the status on these, seeing as nobody EVER uses them because they have almost no impact on a match at all?

can you implement a little minigame while waiting in the lobby. like uno or smth ^^

Will there be achievements added along with the archives?

Is anything being done to nerf SWF? I feel that chat should be disabled during play or implented into the game so the killer can hear it within a certain range

Is Spirit on the radar for changes?

Is intentional DC'ing going to be addressed soon? This sucks on both sides and is ruining the game for everybody.

@Peanits

Well done on fixing Nurse and Instaheals. These are the best changes you have made for the game in years. Hitting both sides at once is never a bad idea.

I hope to see you guys continue to hate out the uninteractive mechanics on BOTH sides.

The Archive is an AMAZING addition to the game and I love that it rewards you for playing both Survivor and Killer. A great way to get people to do play both without forcing them. Whoever came up with that idea, give that guy a promotion.

The game is looking better and better with each patch. These were strong steps in the right direction.

Why was the update delayed? Details beyond unforeseen circumstances. I read somewhere it was because of nintendo switch.

some character's hair has been really weird and partly transparent (examples: spirit, nea, feng min, jake's beards, dweard) are you gonna fix this?

Why was hair textures changed? Talking about ponytails, and stuff like that.

Steve here, is it okay to ask if my babysitter outfit will release with the patch?
