A thread of appreciation/criticism for the mods of these forums and devs of this game.

Whoa. Can you just ping the devs like that? Is this a thing that is allowed? But uh. Peanits is cool. I watched his twitch streams a few times, and he's got a lovely voice. I've not seen anything from Pat, McLean, or Inji. Gay Myers has an excellent name, haven't seen anything from him though. MandyTalk is a nice voice of reason in certain threads. And Rizzo is well... Rizzo. Keeps the streets of the forums clean, which is nice. While I most certainly don't agree with the developers on 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 balance issues, they do seem to be nice people. Let's see if this thread gets taken down.

Aha, I understand. Let us see what comes of it, then.

I enjoy pure threads like these, if I were a Dev or a Mod I would love to see these, they'd make it all worth it to me XD

Ooo, one responded, I'm excited! :D

The cursed bloodline chapter is everything I want to see in the game's future. Yui Kimura and Kazan Yamaoka look awesome, and I hope the art team keeps up the amazing work! I like that the balance team tried to create interesting perks for both killer and survivor, Any Means Neccessary provides lots of diversity into how you can play survivor. The concept and execution of Breakout is so much fun, though I think it could still use a little push to be considered viable. Lucky Break is a good perk, but I think for its strength it should be infinite like how Iron Will is.

The Oni is a great killer to play with or against, since playing or countering him is 100% your decision making and knowledge of his ability which makes you truly feel like the better player. (unless auto aim snaps you to a pallet when you were about to down a survivor.) I think that killer powers on every new killer you guys create should apply buffs to the killer (The Hillbilly, The Wraith, The Huntress) instead of nerfs to the survivor (The Doctor, The Clown, The Nightmare) or at least a balanced mix of the two (The Shape, The Ghostface, The Hag) The Oni is a great example of buffing the killer with their power in a fun way.

The Oni's perks aren't as good as Yui's, but they each definitely serve a purpose. Nemesis has great synergy with other obsession based perks like PWYF or STBFL, so that you can spread the pain without fear of losing stacks. Zanshin Tactics is a perk mostly for beginners, once you learn pallet and window locations it just wastes a perk slot. Blood Echo is interesting for sure, but it's not worth using without a perk that will help you quickly locate survivors after you hook so that you can make use out of the exhaustion, and mobility, if the rest of the team happens to be across the map.

The only part of the chapter I wasn't a fan of was the layout of the new map. It looks amazing, and I love the detail on the creepy moving heads. I like where the borders are, because it forces survivors to move through a small area with the killer possibly in it to avoid a three gen. The main structure is also good, because it provides high ground without being OP like Haddonfield is. But despite all this, it's still way too big and way too dark to interact with survivors a lot and avoid immersed P3 Claudettes doing all the gens without you even seeing them.

Other feedback I have is the design of Adam and Nancy. Their perks both revolve around a more stealthy and altruistic playstyle, and yet both of them have the brightest clothes known to mankind that lets the killer spot them even if a sliver of them is sticking out from behind a tree in the corner of the killer's FOV, which a Blendette would usually get away with. I also think that the balance team should not be too afraid to buff perks to the level of the meta perks. I want things like Kindred revealing the Undetectable status effect, or Vigil letting you recover 50% exhaustion while running, just so that there's some diversity in the DS/DH/BT/SB/Adrenaline meta build.

That was a lot of typing, phew. I hope the next chapter is just as good as the last.

I don't get on the forums much because I joined somewhat recently but when I do see the mods they're just explaining things to people that they've said several times before, likely (and in a more informative/less inflammatory way than some people on these forums.) I don't think I could have the patience to do that kind of thing in my free time so, honestly props to them for that stuff.

I've been staying away from the game for a bit due to frustrations about balance and recent changes, but at the end of the day I cant stay away from reading the forums, checking the subreddit and daydreaming about being in the fog. I love this irritating pile of awesome that BHVR has made.

While there are flaws and, at times, decisions that I absolutely cannot understand, the Devs have created an amazing game and I believe they really do care about continuing to improve on it.

Also, their willingness to sift through all of our aggravated (and often rude) rage comments here while still consistently replying to questions is impressive and shows an initiative toward transparency and a level of customer support that most companies wouldn't bother with.

We don't always get along, but I still want the Devs to be my valentine (I don't think my wife will mind. )

Honestly, whenever a forum post says "Mod" or "Dev" on it, I rush to that one straight away, sometimes the Dev responses on the forums can be sassy or blunt it really makes me laugh (in a good way of course), and I think they really do a good job at keeping the tone on these forums light and a constructive.

Likewise, they often have eye-opening and insightful things to say about the state of their game, and I'm often looking at my screen internally saying "THANK YOU DEVS" for talking sense when perceptions in the community get a bit out of whack (which they do from time to time).

I think the team of devs/mods we have on the forums definitely bring an injection of personality to the community, and it would surely be a far poorer place without them. In fact, I remember times when they weren't posting as much, and I thought of these forums as this place where all people do is rage, but that has really changed now, there is a lot of constructive discussion going on here :)

Maybe I should utilize it in a certain business. If ya know what I mean. wink

You guessed right. It is the version fo Spectacular Spider-Man... Gobby is best.

Love love love love, all ze love!! <3

Thank you mods and devs for your work on the forums and the game. My daughter and I have enjoyed many hours together playing this game. The end game collapse was so well designed and implemented and truly a work of art. I know its been in awhile I just never got to say great job. I don't know how you guys keep your cool on these forums but I am glad you do. Stay warm and keep up the good work.
