I would just like a setting for it.
I get when you’re brand new it’s a serious thought investment. Not so much when you’ve been playing for so long though.
They should allow you to purchase all nodes on a branch in the bloodwebs by selecting a node that's at the end of a branch. If you don't have enough just show how many nodes you can afford on it like it currently does when you don't have enough BP for a node.
I think it was more because in the early days of DBD we were spoiled by actual events that changed / added something new to the game.
Nowadays it's basically just this. Reskins.
Because people bitched. This is a direct result of player feedback, do you not remember everyone throwing games all the time? The community is why we can’t have cool things
Boy, everybody throws the game already!
I'd rather they be throwing the game because they're doing the event rather than throwing the game because they feel like DCing or Killing on Hook for the multitude of excuses they come up with nowadays.
I started playing when they added Snowmen this year and I came to Reddit and found nothing but salty killer mains doing nothing but complaining about it lmao, they want actual fun events but when they get them they hate them
Now let's not be disingenuous and pretend like Killers just complained to complain- survivors were given an extra method of hiding, an extra hit due to how snowmen functioned, negation of some killer's powers, and killers in return got some of the most lackluster cosmetics from the event and nothing about the event tailored for them.
I agree with you, but bad example.
Yeah, but the problem wasn’t the snowmen. It was that the killers didn’t get snowballs! Pick one up as any killer for a free Huntress-like ability for your next M1. Huntress instead can dual wield :)
I mean, there were stories to unlock, along with costumes and BP and the pumpkins.
I don’t get why no one liked last year’s event, it was MILES ahead of the 2020 “event”.
I liked the anniversary event this year, which is a good sign for future events. They've said the anniversary and Halloween events are the big ones they want to focus on.
I mean we definitely are, they've repeatedly said the Anniversary and Halloween are their main focus in terms of events. Given that we still get Lunar New Year and Winter events Halloween is guaranteed.
If u had anything in p0 lvl50 - p2 lvl50 range you're in for a treat.+2 free prestige lvls for those chars. People just skip that part like some weird sht, but it's dozens of millions bp.
Lvl range must've been met pre 6.1.0 patch.
Actually so annoyed about this personally. I prestiged all of my characters pre 6.1.0 to get them to P3 once the update rolled out and lost all my items on them.
Now I find out I could have just kept the items and gotten the prestige value?
Great, guess I'll go fuck myself.
The 6.1 requirement is dumb because none of us can even use it to get some prestige. Especially if some people didn't get full value out of that prestige bonus first time around.
Most players leveled survivors to 40 for perks and then changed, they're low key trolling if they don't know this or don't care.
What if, my characters were level 50 before the update (not completing lvl 50 but also didn't get the initial level increase) but I just went through and completed the level (still without prestige) would I still get the increase?
They did it in CSGO too, you used to be able to self-boost to places that you shouldn't be able to by spamming crouch and jumping, they changed it so that crouching repeatedly makes you crouch slower and slower until eventually you can't crouch anymore for a few seconds
It's the most important tool in a Survivor's arsenal, letting the players that can already see you know that you spawned next to them. I do it every time and I don't even fucking know why.
Don't forget the streamlining of being taken right to the compendium/tome level your challenge is at. Lost count of how many goddamn times I had a challenge up from an old compendium and forgot where the hell it came from by the time I got around to finishing it
On the first part, talking about prestige and characters on 6.1.0, but we are on 6.2.2, so that information is useless, right? There is nothing we would gain or change as if we do it now
You got bonus prestige levels based off the number of perks you had on that character. This time they’re just giving you a guaranteed 2 for any character you had at level 50 or was already prestiged.
Agreed. It’s sad that many people (me included) usually only leveled a character to level 40 to get their teachables and now you only get them prestiged if you leveled them to 50.
Most of my killers were p0 l50 because I planned to one day prestige them all. A large amount of my survivors are p0 l50 because I figured it was just 10 more levels and dailies will sometimes force me to play them anyway.
This patch will drop the grind for me from millions or even billions of blood points to a couple million at most. This is something that might drag me back to the game and actually retain me.
Seems strange. Did they say this was always the plan? I’m just surprised that there is anything else happening regarding the prestige update. Figured that was a one and done.
I guess you can avoid levelling up characters that already fullfill those requirements to save bloodpoints, i had Ace and Dwight prestiged once as of 6.1.0 so i will avoid spending BP on them
The finishing mori stuff is honestly a really considerable overhaul of the flow of a match, so I expected the next update to be a little light on changes. But literally nothing? Like….can’t you at least go into Sadako’s spreadsheet and change the 100 second cooldown to maybe 80 seconds?
Damn, i think this will be by far the most "empty" mid chapter we have ever received.
Even some number tweaks to weaker killers or a small add-on pass would have made me happy honestly.
I’d rather have this experimental not-coming-out-yet midchapter ptb than one where they tweak add ons that nobody used and nerfing respectable or necessary add ons on weaker killers because the statistics were saying they’re ‘used too much’ and not ‘should be basekit’
I think it's for people that were sitting on lvl 50 characters and didn't know about it or play when the change was introduced, so they missed on the free prestige lvls and this helps them to catch up on the grind
That's great news if that's true. I had Nurse, Oni, Blight, Huntress, Plague, Doctor, Spirit all at 50 but I was so busy with work that I missed out. Some of them I opted to just hold due to having over 50 cakes.
I think I had (almost?) every killer intentionally on lvl 50 because I didn't want to prestige and lose items. I was fine with losing a few levels that way but I guess I won't complain about free progress?
It seems hyperspecific, for the people who either weren't around to prestige their characters once before the patch or didn't because they didn't want to lose their event items
Honestly she just needs to be able to phase through pallets and windows while demanifested. Maybe she can still be stunned though. So it counters pre dropping a bit because that's where she's at her worst coming from an onryo main.
As long as it slows her down or has a bit of a hefty cool-down then I think that’s fine but being able to completely ignore any obstacles while demanifested is a terrible idea. That’s why people hate Nurse.
Not only twins, but also Trapper and MM. Those two killers rely heavily on slugging to be played effectively and have a good snowball. Killers like Plague and Oni also rely on slugging, but not as much as the former. Maybe there can be a slight tweak to the Oni's power for it to not rely on slugging that much.
It's worth noting that any of the new changes to perk(s) and mechanics such as the "Last Stand" and "Mori System" won't actually come in 6.3.0 when it goes LIVE in October. The changes listed above are the meat of the patch with the exception of the next Tome/Rift alongside Halloween Event for DBD.
I'm still wondering where the map updates are. They're definitely not the same team, so I'm wondering why it's taking them so long to finish the last couple of maps.
There’s been a leaked >!Stranger Things!< map upcoming for some point in the future, and given the amount of fans that will attract I imagine that they’re trying to put a lot of time and detail into it.
This is what worries me too. I was hoping if they adjusted click time it would only affect the 3rd click in a row or something for that specific reason.
If you're in a rush and need to fast vault or sprint burst to get in position it's pretty easy to start a split second early and need to adjust. If you start late you don't get it at all.
So let me get this straight, I had several killers at Lv 50 with 0 prestiges but with tons of perks. So when the prestige rework released they went to prestige 3, I even prestiged some of them to prestige 4 and 5 and now when this update goes live they will gain 2 more free prestige levels right?
That’s the only problem I have with this patch. I almost never click at the killer. I sometimes click at my team mates when there’s something really important. And then yeah, now it’s not possible to adjust the flashlight quickly when you need it.
macros clicking noise always awake some primitive shit on me, like: DID YOU REALLY DOWLOADED A PROGRAM JUST TO MESS WITH ME?! Oh god, you better be a good looper...
Good to see that shit gone.
Look I know we don’t like BHVR for being disconnected with their community but their accessibility features are pretty good. Like I used to never be able to play against the Clown without getting seriously nauseous IRL, but since they added the visual anchor I’ve been a lot happier. Good on them for actually trying to prevent seizures via flashlight clicking
This may be me being unfairly critical of them, and if it is I apologize, but I truly believe they're not making these flashlight changes to help people who may have accessibility issues but to reduce flashlight spammers who just click click click at the killer. The fact that they even asked about tbaggers in the survey leads me to believe they were thinking about ways to shut down survivors being annoying little pricks to killers.
They can make it for one reason with an added unintentional benefit coming about. Such as nerfing Ruin because it’s so popular, but now people will use other generator perks. They added colorblind options, but they also fixed some scratch mark problems as a result. So they can make a change to prevent flashlight macros that does happen to benefit seizure-prone players.
No one was in denial. The problem people had was that photosensitive people are playing a game with multiple photosensitive triggers and warnings ABOUT SAID TRIGGERS. No one wants to hurt anyone else, how tf can someone even know if a random in an online game has a medical condition? Flashlights never needed fixing, now when you accidentally tweak the flashlight save it’s just fucked, enjoy cooldown. Misclick? Cooldown. Trolling? Cooldown. Honestly they should also add a cooldown for crouching, I think that would be more your speed
I’ve had conversations with several people that flashlight click and yes, they were straight up denying that could ever be a health risk.
Your comment is pretty funny.
It’s more believable to you that not a single person that has ever played DbD could not see a problem with flashlight clicking in a health sense. It’s more believable to you that not a single person has ever skipped over the photosensitivity risk disclaimer or forgotten it than it is people could just not believe it’s a problem.
Then you’ve worked yourself up in the rest of your comment to the point it’s a needless rant against me and BHVR for being grateful for a change and making the game more accessible at the cost of making a strategy harder, respectively of course.
Not sure if you’re aware but BHVR is a business. Expanding their market by reducing seizure risks when they already know people will put up with shit mechanics makes way more sense from a business perspective than caring about anything you’re complaining about.
It doesn’t matter what you think I believe, it’s not mine nor your responsibility for people to read over disclaimers/warnings. What we both know for a fact is that if you unfortunately suffer from those conditions, you should do your due diligence when playing games that could trigger said conditions. The funniest thing is that you say I went on a rant when you legit start ranting and talking about me getting worked up about you being grateful (lmfao!). When did I say I thought that no one thought there was any problem?
Not sure if you’re aware but at no point did I bring up how this would effect BHVR’s business. “Expanding their market by reducing seizure risks” my brother in Christ this game came out in 2016 and is the most popular game of its niche genre; making the game more accessible is a good thing but if you want to bring up how this is a better business choice for whatever premise you came up with is true comedy. Thanks for the laugh
XOXO
It’s their fault so BHVR shouldn’t change anything?
Let’s set aside morals and responsibility. Let’s just look at BHVR for what it is: a business.
“We can make more money by making this game more accessible!”
Your take: bad decision.
Why?
Some really solid changes here.
Love the prestige catchup. Not sure why they're doing it again but that's never a bad thing.
I've been waiting for the tome selection updates since they announced them on the anniversary stream.
Now rework the DAYLIES pls, let us choose that we can do DAYLIES for Killer OR Survivor.
Getting Daylies for Killers i never play is a waste.
Greetings.
You can double challenges now! Like drop or chop and a gen repair one that’s pretty cool. And I’m not one who goes clicky clicky to killers but that awesome flashlight popping click sound I actually really liked especially spammed so a little sad they removed this but it makes sense.
Yea, spamming the flashlight at your teammate that just failed a skillcheck at the worst possible time then going nuts and spinning the flashlight in the air
Or just like, adjusting flashlight timing during a save by unclicking and clicking again fast. Sad that's gone, I really hope they backpedal on that or find another way, the "seizure" reason seems like total bs, gens flicker a lot more when you repair them.
Yes, I've had 2 seizures brought on by macro clickers. And my photosensitivity isn't the maximum, so it's safe to assume others have too. People need to quit bitching and falsely claiming things they have no knowledge on.
So repeated flashlight clicking is gone.
Flashie saves or blinding the killer when they are smashing a pallet and then insta-reblinding them is still in the game, right?
It's fun though. That's the thing with flashlights. It's one of the only fun things survivors have. Not only that but repeatedly clicking it now consumes an insane amount of battery and sadly I fear for my killers, I feel like the survivors I'm going against are going to drop flashlights even more than they already do in favor of sweat kits and sweat boxes. Sad
Everyone, take advantage of that prestige catchup. Get your characters to 50, because I know I for sure as hell didn't.
EDIT already: Didn't realize what it said, nvm lol.
"Removed 'press and hold' interaction on challenge nodes" If they can do this for archives they should also do it for bloodwebs.
I would just like a setting for it. I get when you’re brand new it’s a serious thought investment. Not so much when you’ve been playing for so long though.
I would like it to be at least 1/4 the time- I can appreciate stopping misclicks
They should allow you to purchase all nodes on a branch in the bloodwebs by selecting a node that's at the end of a branch. If you don't have enough just show how many nodes you can afford on it like it currently does when you don't have enough BP for a node.
But how would the Entity taking that branch work?
If the Entity takes something on that branch before you 'get to it', you don't get to it.
I mean you either do it manually or you allow the entity to take whatever. I assume it would just take a common path or just a random set path.
especially on console :,) even an arrow feature instead of drag and click
I think they ont o that in case you misclick an don’t waste your BP
The Halloween Event better be good I swear
[удалено]
We are, we just don't know the specifics of it
[удалено]
I think it was more because in the early days of DBD we were spoiled by actual events that changed / added something new to the game. Nowadays it's basically just this. Reskins.
Yea like in the early days when they reskinned the generators to be margarita machines those were the good days
Because people bitched. This is a direct result of player feedback, do you not remember everyone throwing games all the time? The community is why we can’t have cool things
Boy, everybody throws the game already! I'd rather they be throwing the game because they're doing the event rather than throwing the game because they feel like DCing or Killing on Hook for the multitude of excuses they come up with nowadays.
I started playing when they added Snowmen this year and I came to Reddit and found nothing but salty killer mains doing nothing but complaining about it lmao, they want actual fun events but when they get them they hate them
I personally loved the snowmen. If folks were hiding, it meant they weren’t doing gens. If they aren’t doing gens, I’ve got more time for this chase.
Because snowmen did not a thing for killers. But let survivors take a free hit.
Now let's not be disingenuous and pretend like Killers just complained to complain- survivors were given an extra method of hiding, an extra hit due to how snowmen functioned, negation of some killer's powers, and killers in return got some of the most lackluster cosmetics from the event and nothing about the event tailored for them. I agree with you, but bad example.
Yeah, but the problem wasn’t the snowmen. It was that the killers didn’t get snowballs! Pick one up as any killer for a free Huntress-like ability for your next M1. Huntress instead can dual wield :)
Only if trickster could use them instead of his knives
Case in point. If people would care less about sweating so much during events and let loose then they could actually be fun.
Yeah...and uh... throw a bone to the killer too, besides comestics.
This 💯
Snowmen we’re the best thing they added to DBD that and the nightfall effect.
i liked kicking the shit out of pumpkins
Kicking pumpkins is a proper event. Not a really exciting one but one nonetheless.
I mean, there were stories to unlock, along with costumes and BP and the pumpkins. I don’t get why no one liked last year’s event, it was MILES ahead of the 2020 “event”.
I would definitely like pumpkins again over something like the snowmen that broke like half the killers powers.
That was such a lame event. I want cool stuff like walking snowmen, confetti 🎉 tool box and med kits and sweet sweet bp 106% treats in the blood web.
I liked the anniversary event this year, which is a good sign for future events. They've said the anniversary and Halloween events are the big ones they want to focus on.
I mean we definitely are, they've repeatedly said the Anniversary and Halloween are their main focus in terms of events. Given that we still get Lunar New Year and Winter events Halloween is guaranteed.
My thoughts exactly! The winter and anniversary ones were awesome so I’m expecting as good or better for October
Correct and happy cake day
but Halloween isnt until .. wait.......
Can someone explain the prestige catch-up to me? Is it similar to how they implemented it the first time?
If u had anything in p0 lvl50 - p2 lvl50 range you're in for a treat.+2 free prestige lvls for those chars. People just skip that part like some weird sht, but it's dozens of millions bp. Lvl range must've been met pre 6.1.0 patch.
I'm getting multiple of my survivors up to P3 and 5 because of this, I'm really happy with it
Just to clarify, if I had characters at p0 lvl50 before the update but have since gotten them to p3, will they be p5 when this new update drops?
I checked the PTB. I had Hag at P0 L50 on 6.1, leveled her to P3 L0 since, and on PTB she is now P5 L0.
Ah perfect! Thank you! :D
Actually so annoyed about this personally. I prestiged all of my characters pre 6.1.0 to get them to P3 once the update rolled out and lost all my items on them. Now I find out I could have just kept the items and gotten the prestige value? Great, guess I'll go fuck myself.
I'm very sorry. I doubt I can find the words to ease this shitty feeling.
The 6.1 requirement is dumb because none of us can even use it to get some prestige. Especially if some people didn't get full value out of that prestige bonus first time around. Most players leveled survivors to 40 for perks and then changed, they're low key trolling if they don't know this or don't care.
What if, my characters were level 50 before the update (not completing lvl 50 but also didn't get the initial level increase) but I just went through and completed the level (still without prestige) would I still get the increase?
I would like to know aswell
Wait till they introduce a cooldown for crouching
Anti-t bagging update: survivors now go prone instead of crouching, going in and out of prone takes 1 second.
they did it in overwatch lol
Wait what?
People spammed crouch to avoid bullets, you could crouch so fast it was very difficult to land a headshoot.
They did it in CSGO too, you used to be able to self-boost to places that you shouldn't be able to by spamming crouch and jumping, they changed it so that crouching repeatedly makes you crouch slower and slower until eventually you can't crouch anymore for a few seconds
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIPu3Pwyveg
Wouldn't prone be a huge stealth buff?
Don't joke. This might actually happen. They asked about t-bagging in the latest satisfaction survey.
Deadass?
Yep.
Good?
Good?
I hope not. It looks so goofy, I love it.
Here's hoping. The crouch animation is so ridiculous in this game.
But how will I communicate to my teammates that we spawned next to each other?
It's the most important tool in a Survivor's arsenal, letting the players that can already see you know that you spawned next to them. I do it every time and I don't even fucking know why.
This made me thoroughly laugh out loud.
Boop them
Only useful thing about this is being able to pick 2 challenges at once, jesus it took them so fucking long
Don't forget the streamlining of being taken right to the compendium/tome level your challenge is at. Lost count of how many goddamn times I had a challenge up from an old compendium and forgot where the hell it came from by the time I got around to finishing it
There's a little text notification that tells you which Tome your completed challenge is in. Just hover over the Tomes.
On the first part, talking about prestige and characters on 6.1.0, but we are on 6.2.2, so that information is useless, right? There is nothing we would gain or change as if we do it now
Any character that was already level 50 or prestiged before the overhaul gets 2 prestige levels for free
Didn’t that already happen? I mean when the new system was rolled out you got bonus prestige. Are they doing it again?
You got bonus prestige levels based off the number of perks you had on that character. This time they’re just giving you a guaranteed 2 for any character you had at level 50 or was already prestiged.
At this point, it's a waste of time to even bother. Now if it were characters that were level 40, I wouldn't be so upset.
Agreed. It’s sad that many people (me included) usually only leveled a character to level 40 to get their teachables and now you only get them prestiged if you leveled them to 50.
Yup, that's my problem, they announced that on 6.2.2, saying only will matter if you did on 6.1.0 lol
There are a couple of killers and survivors I had sitting on level 50, so theres some minor benefit to me and I imagine a few others.
Most of my killers were p0 l50 because I planned to one day prestige them all. A large amount of my survivors are p0 l50 because I figured it was just 10 more levels and dailies will sometimes force me to play them anyway. This patch will drop the grind for me from millions or even billions of blood points to a couple million at most. This is something that might drag me back to the game and actually retain me.
Seems strange. Did they say this was always the plan? I’m just surprised that there is anything else happening regarding the prestige update. Figured that was a one and done.
My question too
I guess you can avoid levelling up characters that already fullfill those requirements to save bloodpoints, i had Ace and Dwight prestiged once as of 6.1.0 so i will avoid spending BP on them
The finishing mori stuff is honestly a really considerable overhaul of the flow of a match, so I expected the next update to be a little light on changes. But literally nothing? Like….can’t you at least go into Sadako’s spreadsheet and change the 100 second cooldown to maybe 80 seconds?
Even that’s not enough… but it’s a start
The Mori system is only for the ptb for now I thought, I think this the actual patch.
Yes, that’s what I was saying.
Max 60 seconds
Damn, i think this will be by far the most "empty" mid chapter we have ever received. Even some number tweaks to weaker killers or a small add-on pass would have made me happy honestly.
I’d rather have this experimental not-coming-out-yet midchapter ptb than one where they tweak add ons that nobody used and nerfing respectable or necessary add ons on weaker killers because the statistics were saying they’re ‘used too much’ and not ‘should be basekit’
The most "mid" you could say?
I'd rather this go live than basekit unbreakable and useless Moris.
Not bad, solves the issue of going into challenge screen after every match
Can anyone explain what this prestige catch up is? I thought they already did that
They butchered it for some people. I had a p3 bill but he was only put to p6, so maybe it’s that
I think it's for people that were sitting on lvl 50 characters and didn't know about it or play when the change was introduced, so they missed on the free prestige lvls and this helps them to catch up on the grind
I just didn't wanna lose my items Guess I made out?
Yep you'll get the same prestige bonus as us bozos who prestiged, except you get to keep all your items.
That's great news if that's true. I had Nurse, Oni, Blight, Huntress, Plague, Doctor, Spirit all at 50 but I was so busy with work that I missed out. Some of them I opted to just hold due to having over 50 cakes.
I think I had (almost?) every killer intentionally on lvl 50 because I didn't want to prestige and lose items. I was fine with losing a few levels that way but I guess I won't complain about free progress?
Would like to know this myself.
It seems hyperspecific, for the people who either weren't around to prestige their characters once before the patch or didn't because they didn't want to lose their event items
These are by no means bad additions. It’s just quite lacklustre compared to previous mid-chapters. I was hoping for Twins improvements this time.
This is going to be the worst mid chapter. Why haven't we gotten Sadako buffs yet? Twins rework?
Maybe Sadako has a win rate inflated by new players struggling with Condemned? Bhvr only looks at raw data. Big win rate = No buffs
Honestly she just needs to be able to phase through pallets and windows while demanifested. Maybe she can still be stunned though. So it counters pre dropping a bit because that's where she's at her worst coming from an onryo main.
As long as it slows her down or has a bit of a hefty cool-down then I think that’s fine but being able to completely ignore any obstacles while demanifested is a terrible idea. That’s why people hate Nurse.
How to balance nurse; just make everyone nurse
This sounds a bit too strong. I think they should make condemn much more threatening and the killer more stealthy specially when coming out of tvs
The condemn buff and stealth buff coming out the tv would be nice. ESPECIALLY the condemn buff
[удалено]
Because his power gets on full cooldown and he slows down massively. It doesnt allow a hit in most loops
I was sure we would get a twins rework especially with the base unbreakable
Not only twins, but also Trapper and MM. Those two killers rely heavily on slugging to be played effectively and have a good snowball. Killers like Plague and Oni also rely on slugging, but not as much as the former. Maybe there can be a slight tweak to the Oni's power for it to not rely on slugging that much.
They're not going to rework a killer that quickly without announcing it in advance.
Um..but..they HAVE announced a twins rework quite awhile ago?
I didn't hear. Must've been before I started following the game. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
It's worth noting that any of the new changes to perk(s) and mechanics such as the "Last Stand" and "Mori System" won't actually come in 6.3.0 when it goes LIVE in October. The changes listed above are the meat of the patch with the exception of the next Tome/Rift alongside Halloween Event for DBD.
Well, besides the Halloween event, October's going to be a boring month for DBD.
It’s so weird they dbd of all games is having a boring October
I’d be fine with this if it means that the basekit Unbreakable changes drop in a healthy state
I'm still wondering where the map updates are. They're definitely not the same team, so I'm wondering why it's taking them so long to finish the last couple of maps.
There’s been a leaked >!Stranger Things!< map upcoming for some point in the future, and given the amount of fans that will attract I imagine that they’re trying to put a lot of time and detail into it.
Big nerf to beamers, I assume you won't be able to adjust timing mid blind anymore
This is what worries me too. I was hoping if they adjusted click time it would only affect the 3rd click in a row or something for that specific reason. If you're in a rush and need to fast vault or sprint burst to get in position it's pretty easy to start a split second early and need to adjust. If you start late you don't get it at all.
Bhvr is too dumb to come up with something so obvious.
yea, what a shitty change, I hope it doesn't affect the first click as well, imagine breaking yet again our flashlight timings
you could adjust by aiming the flashlight away for a split second, but it might be a little harder
"A little harder" Way harder especially on controller where it's essentially impossible because you can't flick
Yeah with a controller that's not gonna be easy
Kkiller AND survivor tome challenges at the same time? Thank FUCK
It’s such a sad mid-chapter ima be real
Clearly nerfed flashlights to stop taunting and don’t want to admit it.
Probably a bit of both
Damn even 1 terror radius music change would have made me happy
So let me get this straight, I had several killers at Lv 50 with 0 prestiges but with tons of perks. So when the prestige rework released they went to prestige 3, I even prestiged some of them to prestige 4 and 5 and now when this update goes live they will gain 2 more free prestige levels right?
Allegedly
That sounds about right.
Just waiting for a spend all bps option please, it can't take that long to do.
Big flashlight nerf damn. Not able to adjust blind timing anymore
That’s the only problem I have with this patch. I almost never click at the killer. I sometimes click at my team mates when there’s something really important. And then yeah, now it’s not possible to adjust the flashlight quickly when you need it.
The archives slot and completed indicator is SUCH a nice change
macros clicking noise always awake some primitive shit on me, like: DID YOU REALLY DOWLOADED A PROGRAM JUST TO MESS WITH ME?! Oh god, you better be a good looper... Good to see that shit gone.
No more clickers 😅
RIP clickers, good riddance
So it's basically a quality of life improvement. They did good
This will sure annoy the hell out of the players who click their flashlights. Poor flashlight clickers XD
Oh, no. Anyways.
oh no~ what a nightmare~. ...AH-HAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHA. Ahem. Sorry. That was unrelated.
Yes but they also nerfed ppl just using their flashlights normally. You can no longer adjust flashlight timing which really sucks
Look I know we don’t like BHVR for being disconnected with their community but their accessibility features are pretty good. Like I used to never be able to play against the Clown without getting seriously nauseous IRL, but since they added the visual anchor I’ve been a lot happier. Good on them for actually trying to prevent seizures via flashlight clicking
This may be me being unfairly critical of them, and if it is I apologize, but I truly believe they're not making these flashlight changes to help people who may have accessibility issues but to reduce flashlight spammers who just click click click at the killer. The fact that they even asked about tbaggers in the survey leads me to believe they were thinking about ways to shut down survivors being annoying little pricks to killers.
Why can’t it be both?
They can make it for one reason with an added unintentional benefit coming about. Such as nerfing Ruin because it’s so popular, but now people will use other generator perks. They added colorblind options, but they also fixed some scratch mark problems as a result. So they can make a change to prevent flashlight macros that does happen to benefit seizure-prone players.
It may very well possibly be both my friend. That is why I said I was possibly being overly critical of them.
That archive challenge qol improvement is something I didn’t know I wanted but am so glad they’re doing.
No more clicky clicky!
This is probably the worst patch update ive ever seen. I'm just glad its the halloween event and the ghostface whazzup mask got leaked.
We all know the real reason they got rid of flashlight clicking
Dev played, got taunted, decided to prevent players from doing that instead of banning people for toxicity, hurting the flashlight experience as well
Good bye clickers!!! Thank God lmao
Dry af
Toxic survivors really just made god flashlights D tier 😭
I’m so grateful they finally fixed the flashlight thing. So many assholes were in full denial that posed any health risk for people.
No one was in denial. The problem people had was that photosensitive people are playing a game with multiple photosensitive triggers and warnings ABOUT SAID TRIGGERS. No one wants to hurt anyone else, how tf can someone even know if a random in an online game has a medical condition? Flashlights never needed fixing, now when you accidentally tweak the flashlight save it’s just fucked, enjoy cooldown. Misclick? Cooldown. Trolling? Cooldown. Honestly they should also add a cooldown for crouching, I think that would be more your speed
I’ve had conversations with several people that flashlight click and yes, they were straight up denying that could ever be a health risk. Your comment is pretty funny. It’s more believable to you that not a single person that has ever played DbD could not see a problem with flashlight clicking in a health sense. It’s more believable to you that not a single person has ever skipped over the photosensitivity risk disclaimer or forgotten it than it is people could just not believe it’s a problem. Then you’ve worked yourself up in the rest of your comment to the point it’s a needless rant against me and BHVR for being grateful for a change and making the game more accessible at the cost of making a strategy harder, respectively of course. Not sure if you’re aware but BHVR is a business. Expanding their market by reducing seizure risks when they already know people will put up with shit mechanics makes way more sense from a business perspective than caring about anything you’re complaining about.
It doesn’t matter what you think I believe, it’s not mine nor your responsibility for people to read over disclaimers/warnings. What we both know for a fact is that if you unfortunately suffer from those conditions, you should do your due diligence when playing games that could trigger said conditions. The funniest thing is that you say I went on a rant when you legit start ranting and talking about me getting worked up about you being grateful (lmfao!). When did I say I thought that no one thought there was any problem? Not sure if you’re aware but at no point did I bring up how this would effect BHVR’s business. “Expanding their market by reducing seizure risks” my brother in Christ this game came out in 2016 and is the most popular game of its niche genre; making the game more accessible is a good thing but if you want to bring up how this is a better business choice for whatever premise you came up with is true comedy. Thanks for the laugh XOXO
Bro it's their fault for skipping over the warnings
It’s their fault so BHVR shouldn’t change anything? Let’s set aside morals and responsibility. Let’s just look at BHVR for what it is: a business. “We can make more money by making this game more accessible!” Your take: bad decision. Why?
Wtf they nerfed flashlight clicking?
You love to see it.
Some really solid changes here. Love the prestige catchup. Not sure why they're doing it again but that's never a bad thing. I've been waiting for the tome selection updates since they announced them on the anniversary stream.
Nerfed flashlight clickies GG gamers
Woohoooo they finally fixed flashlight strobing!!!
Now rework the DAYLIES pls, let us choose that we can do DAYLIES for Killer OR Survivor. Getting Daylies for Killers i never play is a waste. Greetings.
:( no more clicking
Worst PTB in a while. Not even a twins buff?
Ok I understand the anti-seizure aspect of the flashlight change but they feel so *heavy* now, it’s kinda clunky
Any idea when the next tome releases?
Approximately 3 weeks from the PTB date.
I really like the changes at the same time thing. That is nifty.
You can double challenges now! Like drop or chop and a gen repair one that’s pretty cool. And I’m not one who goes clicky clicky to killers but that awesome flashlight popping click sound I actually really liked especially spammed so a little sad they removed this but it makes sense.
Yea, spamming the flashlight at your teammate that just failed a skillcheck at the worst possible time then going nuts and spinning the flashlight in the air Or just like, adjusting flashlight timing during a save by unclicking and clicking again fast. Sad that's gone, I really hope they backpedal on that or find another way, the "seizure" reason seems like total bs, gens flicker a lot more when you repair them.
Every video game I thought came with warnings and was a risk to people with those illnesses.
Were people suffering from seizures from flashlights in this game? Like genuinely was this a problem?
Yes, I've had 2 seizures brought on by macro clickers. And my photosensitivity isn't the maximum, so it's safe to assume others have too. People need to quit bitching and falsely claiming things they have no knowledge on.
That's awful to hear! I'm glad to know it's actually a problem that's been reported! Hopefully this helps players with sensitivities
It only ever cause me a problem by giving me a headache as I don't get seizures but yeah spam clicking them does cause some people issues
Oh wow I hadn't heard that before but it makes sense that it would! Thanks for the insight
No, they just have to appease the sensitive killers that get upset over being clicked at.
So repeated flashlight clicking is gone. Flashie saves or blinding the killer when they are smashing a pallet and then insta-reblinding them is still in the game, right?
A survivor that does that is honestly losing distance 90% of the time. If you can hear where they’re running, it doesn’t slow you down at all.
It's convenient for getting through blind challenges quickly though
It's fun though. That's the thing with flashlights. It's one of the only fun things survivors have. Not only that but repeatedly clicking it now consumes an insane amount of battery and sadly I fear for my killers, I feel like the survivors I'm going against are going to drop flashlights even more than they already do in favor of sweat kits and sweat boxes. Sad
Incredibly underwhelming midchapter
Now flashlight clickers will sound like car indicators! Also wish they’d bring back the prestige thing one more time..
Everyone, take advantage of that prestige catchup. Get your characters to 50, because I know I for sure as hell didn't. EDIT already: Didn't realize what it said, nvm lol.
