Thank you for Dedicated Servers!
Hey BHVR,
I just wanted to thank you for making the Dedicated Servers dream come true.
I know it must have been a LOT of hard work to implement Dedicated Servers on an existing game that used P2P - really, that is one of the most underappreciated things with what you have done by implementing such a thing as dedicated servers, and I must say well done on the work!
I know I know, some people may still experience issues, and there might be a few bugs here and there (grabbing is still a bit weird as performing an attack can result in a no-grab and a no-hit),
BUT! Dedicated Servers, all around, has been a very positive and amazing experience, to me and many others. I came back to playing DbD a lot more since Dedicated Servers were introduced, and the gaming experience all around has increased tremendously. It can be seen in many areas - eliminating the notorious Lobby Simulator (no longer a killer DCing will result in closing the lobby) which was a huge annoyance that made me and friends simply not want to play (this is really a big thing!); much more stable, reliable and consistent gameplay and connection, since we are connecting to a server and not to some shady person which may have or may not have a quality connection, and various pings; no more exploits relating to connection (such as speedhacks or even lag switching which was just too easy to deploy) and more.
All this, while the killer experience (for me at least) was only affected just slightly (from being a host to being connected to a server).
So really, well done! I am really enjoying the dedicated servers. Thank you very much for doing it and going through with it.

Finally a comment that tell the truth. People overeact because the servers is not perfect. As i know the live servers is not better (lag switch , dodge , high ping , hitbox) sure the dedicated servers have issue but live servers is not better.
He remind me that i got 5min queues as survivor with the live servers. Killer is instant though. I'm not on PC but i've seen many streamers playing without issues except a few desync animation.

It's sorta like dedicated servers help a minority of people while the majority is still having problems with dedicated servers.

I'm glad they're going through with it. Hopefully they don't get discouraged with so many complaints. They work hard to improve the experience for everyone. Here's to a pretty good job so far!

Actually, a poll done on these forums showed most users are happy with the dedicated servers (even before the latest bug fixes applied). Just sayin'...

Oh yes, im glad the dedicated servers are making me lag behind 1 second as a killer with 40 green ping!

It's the same with live servers many have instant survivor lobbies me i take 5min as a solo player. EU region seems the best version for dedicated servers so far. Based on the feedback i've read, the servers always have been bad.

I mean i am unable to play nurse at all, because of constant lags, backblinks, bugs with the blinks and sometimes gamebreaking bugs that remove my ability to blink. I got a stable ping of 20.
I would love to appreciate the dedicated servers, but i can't.

I keep getting the tier regression bug with Myers, where you hit T3, just to go back to tier 2 and 99% again. Really sucks if ya dont notice it before ya swing.

Dedicated servers have overall made the experience worse; green ping games don't make you immune to being hit from a thousand miles away, etc, as we were promised they would, grabs are buggy as all hell, and there are plenty of other issues that came with them including extra bugs for lobbies/matchmaking.

At least I don't have to deal with lag switchers anymore :D
