What can we understand under "Postponed"?
How long is postponed for you? I can't be bothered to play the Halloween event when Halloween is over.

Like, I get they started small with this really cool indie game and stuff, and I always defend them but... I'm tired. We're going on Year 4 and we have yet to have a consistently satisfying release schedule.

Honestly, I feel the same. It be nice if it was out Friday at the latest but I feel like it's going to be next Tuesday.
B3 halloween themed event Bloody Harvest is coming out Thursday so will mess around with that I guess

I think the devs need to be more transparent, saying "unforeseen circumstances" is too vague i'd rather know what exactly the problem is like perks being broken or the event not working properly.

Its not a big development team and thankfully they don't overwork people for crunch times in situations like this so it's only natural this kinda thing happens occasionally. Just be patient, its only a game.

Days? Weeks? Months? Nobody knows!

If it comes out next Tuesday what's even the point in being a Halloween event. It says it will remain 11 days long, basically 3/4ths of the event will be after Halloween. Hoping it comes out Friday, but knowing the update schedule, who knows.

Honestly if I wasn't so addicted to this game, stuff like this would make me stop playing it. Nothing ever comes out on time, and when it does something is always broken. This kind of stuff used to make me angry, but now I just expect it and I'm becoming more and more apathetic to it. Sad days

If they can't get it out earlier thats just how it is. That can't be changed. Better late than never at least. Its a horror game anyway, it's not like it's going to be out of place in November.

The halloween theme of the supposed Event is gonna be way out of place.
5 -
Except it's not inherently Halloween themed. Its just a different aesthetic of horror that isn't directly tied to Halloween.

Their development is bigger now than years past. They even introduced a team last year that was brought in specifically to focus on events. And yet this team they brought in is not living up to the expectations of the player base. Now this IS a game with micro transactions, like it or not. The in game shop is loaded with cosmetics and they seem to add multiple sets per month which don't skip a beat. They skipped the summer event entirely and now this one is delayed. These devs have forgotten the FUN factor and events are the only thing that this player base has to look forward to. Playing the same game mode for 4 years, events have been the only highlight. They dropped the ball and they can't even be up front about what the delay is. quite pathetic.

we might get a date for the update nearing the end of November, don't worry about it, the devs got our backs.

The fact that they did not even give an ETA for when it will release is very concerning to me.
Is it going to come out later this week? Next week? Next month?? Who knows.

I have been sent home from a very famous band live show, once, because it was postponed to the next year.

Postponed = Soon™

If the delay was due to one of the consoles rejecting the update. What benefit would it be to have that infomation go public? It could cause problems between bhvr and console company.
The event itself doesn't seem to be anything special. The matches and offerings are just for bonus bp. The stuff for the cosmetics are inside the rift. You will have plenty of time to get those.

something like this happened when the clown (I think) came out. It got postponed for everyone but PS4 had to wait like and extra 3 weeks I think it was to even get the DLC. Caused a HUGE up roar. I understand WHY they don't want to say anything, But honestly us PS4 players back then would have just liked to know what was going on. Cause they were radio silent them too until the patch was about to hit.

If that were the case, they would've launched it on PC + the consoles that did get approved.
They've done exactly that in the past, after all.
No, I think it's something bigger then console authorisation holding it back. If it was specific to one platform, it wouldn't be delayed on all four.

I don't see how the rudeness is necessary. Everyone here is working hard to get it ready as soon as possible. This is one of the biggest updates in a long time combined with an engine update. Some things went wrong and we wouldn't feel comfortable putting the update out in the state it's in. I'm sorry if this is disappointing to you, but shoving the update out the door right now isn't a better option.
As far as the event goes, everything will still be happening according to plan, just slightly after it was originally planned. You won't lose any days, the end date will be shifted back to match.

No they wouldn't. They have been very strict on having simultaneous updates after the event MrsMaliciousX decribed.

It's too late for me to play anyway. I'll be busy with another game.

my question is: have you ever played any other game before dbd? Ive seen ######### far worse than this and honestly they are releasing a big patch so they are trying to do it right. Screw it if there is to wait sone more, I want to play too but I can understand things can go wrong especially since they are a small team

It would be nice if they would specify what exactly it is, I'm assuming it's a lot of the issues with the Nurse rework. Hoping it's by Friday... Or at least they extend it more into November.

I'd rather it to be delayed than they making people around the clock and make them miserable. It happens, and there's far worse in life...

Some issues came up when we were getting the update ready- bugs that would not be acceptable if the update went live right now. That's all there really is to it, it's not as interesting as you might think. We just want to make sure it's solid first.
We're hoping to have it out as soon as possible, but I can't give you an exact time yet. We definitely want to make sure it's out before Halloween, though.

Oi what was one of the bugs you guys found!
I love hearing about bugs!

They'll either have it really soon (within 1/2 days) or leave it until Monday where they can tweak certain things if needs be. In my opinion.

Im just really sad that they put two things together on one release date and there is absolutely no need to overfeed us.
I was really hyped for the actual Halloween stuff, the flashlights, the medkits, another lobby animation, another soundtrack. So yeah im kinda disappointed that i have to play that after the Halloween hype is over.
Thankfully they're working on them bug fixes and unforeseen circumstances thats holding back the archives and the rift, no need to hurry I'd rather have a functional addition with achievable quests.

What was the issue with the bugs?
I am only on my Playstation every other week so I was looking forward to it this week, I hope I actually get the chance to play, most events happen when I'm not around.

I dont recall anytime devs postponed anything in the last 2 years.. whats with all this mad comments

we’re not intentionally being rude, and it’s just feedback that’s being provided in a frustrated manner. how could anyone not be frustrated by a highly anticipated PLANNED event? there should have been many more inspections pertaining to this event and ensured that it would be stable for release. last minute (day before release), you guys tell us it’s postponed and no clarification or specific reason?? how are we not supposed to be dissatisfied? you know that there has to be a specific time line for the release of this event, meaning that it shouldn’t be too close to halloween or after; therefore, why not make sure everything is entirely ready prior? please don’t get your community falsely hyped up with inaccurate information. truly disappointing.
