What do you think will help the future of DBD?
When you started talking about the knight i literally felt soooo relieved i thought i was the only one that felt that way about it. The knight is just soo boring to play against. Its even worse when you go against him 3 games in a row. I honestly just dont feel like playing against him.
I think what should happen to send dbd creators a message is that no one buys it till they actually take the time to put the chapter together like it deserves. This just shows they don't care about their viewers just money I know it's a business and all but how can they stay In business if no money comes in?
I agree with many arguments still i'am not with the alarming tone you at the end. Yes the game got two mediocre dlc in a row (wihout mention the Knights buffs) But the last licenced dlc was really good and popular ! I'm pretty sure these two dlc is more a calandar issue than a design issues.
Maybe the mori system and new gameplay system will being created with year !
Considering The Skull Marchant, I agree, her design doesnt fit well in DbD, she's not that scary (and actually not super fun to play) She will get good halloween skins I hope. Recycling map system, which involve lores is pretty dope for lore enthousiast. (I magine her instaling her camp in the entity realms etc.)
i agre it boring afther 6 yaers of playing this game the game need to change i see Texas Chainsaw Massacre game put dbd in a grave im have like maby 2 out of 20 match i have fun in it not worth it
give us a new game mode or some thing jeezz BHVR and i like your vids spooky your just a chilled dud
I actually like playing as zoning killers and dragging out games. I get a real kick out of imagining the boredom or anger of survivors that can't end the game in a timely manner. I love living the three gen patrol life. Even if I lose in the end, it still feels great to have dragged out a game to double the length of a normal match. I think I'll really enjoy the skull merchant.
In my opinion dead by daylight desperately needs some new game modes, I don’t want new characters or new perks or reworks to the current character/perks. I want more game modes and options to play.
when friday the 13th the game hasnt gotten an update in years and is still more enjoyable
You're telling me that the new killer is called The Skull Merchant, has drones with skulls on them, and her mori doesnt collect the skull of the survivor? booooo
Hi,can you please talk about the cheaters players coming back infesting the servers once again?
I meet at least 2 of them every day,and those are the blatant ones,I can't imagine how many subtle ones I played with.
hot take but i rather have consistent killers and have some hit and misses than long droughts without any new content. not every new chapter will be my cup of tea and that’s fine
I havent played on the PTB, but from what I've seen so far seems kinda meh. The skull merchant looks is okay, nothing too special. Her abilities seem too info/lockdown of area driven though. The two new survivors don't apeal to me personally, but thats just me. I had hoped for a new map at least, that's always a big thing for me. I would have loved either a female vampire of sorts in a castle/ruin like setting OR something primal, a gnarly beast running around on a jungle type map.
Imagine its just a big joke and they have a crazy new killer that they did not show off and a crazy map
I agree with everything you said but also I would love if BHVR buff or reworked Myers also. 😊
Bro I hate playing against people he knight and bubba probably the most….bubba, well we all know why. The knight, well because his butt buddies that he sends after you lol
I say that shit killers use the knight. Because they are shit at chases.
well every utuber tells players to tunnel and camp jist to win a streak. so other people do it like its gospel. need to make killers not see or hear hatch for one. quote.
"Everything woke turns to shit!"
think about it
This game is dying .
This game severely needs game modes, playing the same games, with the same build gets boring real fast. I dont understand how they went this far without adding any game modes, even the special "events" are terrible every year just reskinned events Wether it's lunar or Halloween. Maybe the snowmen were an exception. I hope that Texas chainsaw is a good game that can push DBD to become better. Everything seems so lazy lately, even patches take so long, basic quality of life additions take so long, how do we still not have a perk search bar? Stuff like that is so crazy simple but they just don't bother since it doesn't make them money.
"Nobody wants to spend 25-30 mins in a game"
Legion: Am I a joke to you?
Sad to hear that The Knight is unfun to play against.. I really like playing him…
Lately every game decided that they need to push new characters out as fast as possible, while ignoring everything else..
Someone found Skull Merchant's face in the game files without her mask
It's, and I mean this completely seriously, just Trickster's face
The Dredge was the chapter that brought me back to the game and made me stay. It was a time in the game that I was super excited for. I look at the last chapter and this next one, and I don’t feel any excitement. I’m honestly tired. It’s hard to enjoy the game currently and to know that there’s content coming out soon that is going to be the exact opposite of what the game needs, it makes me wonder if it’s time I give DBD a break. I don’t want to. I love this game. But I don’t think I’m loving what it’s turning into.
I would really enjoy a new mode or just upgrade the player count image instead of a 4v1 it's 4v16 or something like that
Personally I can’t shake the feeling that a Predator license was either lost before release, cancelled, or in some way fell through. The arm claw is extremely similar, the three dots on hunting someone is extremely similar, a stealth ability. I feel like so much of it was rushed because they had to change things away from Predator. Obviously that’s complete speculation and TSM could just be a homage to Predator but everything about it looks and feels so bland and lifeless like things had to be changed midway through development
Also, I like the ide behind her ability
Not the execution though
The tracking would be fun
Should make her main thing
Since she's kinda like a headhunter? Collecting skulls and such..
BHVR trash development community, there is no normal ranking system. Each DLC is a gay, non-binary, or feminist survivor. Maniac in general Russian Wagner with a drone, the game turns into a trash heap. I hope the flashlights in the dbd will delete soon so that I can finally remove dbd.
I think her aura reading add on should be base kit tbh. That would make her more consistent and give the survivors more of a reason to take care of the drones
DbD is stale to me, but for a different reason. At least in my experience people used to experiment with meta, and perks a lot more, but now the meta is so cyclical that it feels like you go against the same perks/survivors/killers every single game.
Survivors bring gen speed perks (to make gens go faster) — so killers bring slow down perks (to make them take longer) — so survivors bring looping perks (for gens to have more time to get done) — so killers bring anti looping perks (to end chases faster) — so survivors bring gen speed perks (to get gens done before everyone is dead) — so killers bring slow down perks — and on and on forever.
At least in my experience people would run different builds because it felt like you could still win by using things other than the like…five main survivor/killer perks. Sure there is a new killer coming out, and I'm probably going to see them more, but the meta will still be there, the having the same play style all the live long day probably won't change. That's what feels stale. I know exactly what I'm going to get nowadays.
I have been saying this for years, DBD Dev Team philosophy is to burry game's issues with content, and quantity over quality. I had also predicted that it will indeed bite the guys in the ass in future, and it seems as competition draws near(Texas Chainsaw Massacre) this moment is looming ever more closely.
I love playing DBD and wish the game and the devs nothing but success, but this development philosophy needs to go. Half the killers need a serious rework if not an overhaul.
I started playing dbd in 2017, played it since then.. but now I just feel like the game is so dry.. a lot of friends stopped playing and don't look like the
skullmerchant is gonna be the thing to pull ppl back.. A lot of the ppl I talk to complain about the slug/camp/tunnel and that the Knight can chase u in a 2v1 made ppl also leave..
Hold dobble W is the name of the game now, and my looper heart feels sad about that..
what I noticed with the merchant was that the drones needs to not be able to be placed by windows cus it makes us as a survivor start dismantling drones instead of vulting she feels underwhelming to me..
I hope to god that the games takes a turn for the better FAST..
Merchants mori looks like Freddy's mori and seems so not thought through and I was so confused with "the new map" its suuper small, easy to zone and tunnel/camp ppl out, 99,9% of the skullmerchant's I went againt on PTB tunneled and camped, when that has happened before on the PTB the killer turns out to not be that good/strong on live servers and wont be played.

The brand new killer totally makes me think they wanted to get the Predator. They couldn't, so they basically did the " copy the homework without copying the homework" haha. She's basically the predator in my eyes.
I feel like BHVR can't keep up with their quarterly releases anymore. There is always something breaking with every update. Takes time and resources to fix the issue and whatever chapter they're working on gets put on hold.
As for me, the game truly became really boring and annoying due to sweaty people. Tunnel, camp, gen patrol all the way. Whenever i play killer i try to play fair, always going after someone else. Same goes for some perks. If they did something hardcore to punish tunneling or going with the same build it would be great, or if they created separate que for "sweaty" people. Apart from that they could go with many changes like new play modes and so on. Old killers are fine due to simplicity of their powers. For example skull merchant seems to be complicated with her power (too many ifs + another champ with exposed).
I have the same issue and feeling towards the game. Had like a break for 2 months due to too much annoyment.
Edit 1: Came back 4 days ago and i already think about leaving it again.
Edit 2: Yep just now 2 minutes after writing this comment, another tunneler. Cheers
yes, the game is in decline. releasing bullshit content that looks to be rushed is just the nail on the coffin. i think the absolutely main problem for dbd is that the killer role has become weak. players are usually not scared anymore – and remember, dbd started as a horror survival game – and today it has finally and ultimately become a bully simulator. survivors are bored. survivors can easily escape. so what should they do? pressing m1 doing gens and leave? as you says spookyloopz the fun is the chase but unless you have a really strong chase killer like nurse or blight it isnt that hard to run away from the killer nowadays. nearly everyone runs dead hard. nearly everyone runs windows of opportunity. so what happens is usually this: run run run, loop. pallet, window. pallet, oh i got caught and injured, run run run, window, pallet, pallet, damn caught again but dead hard the shit out, run run run …. survivors got SO MUCH SHIT WORKING FOR THEM why should they "fear" being caught? dead by daylight has slowly killed by itself what should be the fun part: the chase
It's becoming buy our new DLC simulator. The game has gone super stale. I have countless games in a row as survivor of zone the 3 gens and tunnel for kills cause killer can't get pressure fast enough. Like you said, best part about killer is the chases, so it would be nice to have long sweaty chases without it being too devastating for either side. That isn't how the game feels though, it's cheese or be cheesed. It's a real Spooky Loop we're in.
Hello Spookyloops. Sadly, I think it's just BHVR with their decision-making. My friends (between 600h and 2.5k hour players) are quitting the game because of how unfun it is getting. Me, a 4k hour, completely understand, and I am also done with the game. I got tunneled and camped a total of like 10 times during yesterdays session alongside killing myself (or dcing) around 10 times, too, because the killer camped on 5/4 gens which is just not fun at all.
This is the stare of the game, 4 survivors are too powerful, but when you tunnel one of them out now its a walk in the park. We are just repeating the knight release with the new DLC, too. It's not an info killer. it's not anti loop power. It is anti-decision making. Forces a some type of gameplay, which is not fun for any of the sides.
Sad, but I lost hope
It would also be nice if the competitive scene existed a bit more and grew. Those are the people who probably feel the most stale though besides content creators.
The killer is lame bro
They really dropped the ball……SO sad it has come to this…i used to play DAILY but now i keep asking myself whats the point?
One of the major problems I have is being killer if you do bad you get put into easy lobbies, you do amazing you'll get into lobbies you can barely handle and overtime you'll find the sweaty SWFs, nothing wrong with Sweaty SWFs but going against Dh and adrenaline/hope with a map to outplay the killer gets so fucking boring. You lose that match and you can easily find yourself with baby killers making numbers of mistakes so you don't even get practice, just brutalize unfortunate players because how MMR ranking is. Not only does this slow your progress on improving but causes higher risk of tunneling and face camping so there's that. One of the major problems I also have is as survivor who gets to get a few escapes I literally get bombarded with spirit, Nurse or Wraith (Yes Wraith gen builds are scary and hard to deal with asf) and knight is starting to get up here too, it's unfair when a survivor gets chased and then knight catches up to me with his haste effect.
W spooky
I want to see new perks that add to your allies for survivor giving boost to others. I.E. if you flipped the perk the unhooked survivor gets the speed boost……..Make it more team oriented also I think making a character that has no horror aspect at all. I think drones with seeking or a projectile shot from it would be intense. right now the killer will be looked at as hot woman with radar. Not scary in a game with horror aspects. This is my personal opinion what i would want up to you to agree or not. thank you for your video big fan of spooky.
Massive respect for voicing your concerns Spooky! As a fog whisperer most don’t comment much. Honestly my friends and I stopped after the knight after every Friday without fail long night sessions and cheeky week games after work I’m just bored. We started back into evil dead and we’re really enjoying it working as a team against an impossible odds (we really enjoy team work rewards) Love DBB but it’s not great anymore in our eyes which is a shame. Personally I’m not a fan of most of the behavior own characters after the death slinger… though most will challenge but ultimately everyone has a voice and can use it.
Fingers crossed something clicks right in the future for everyone!
New game modes already… Jesus Christ, how obvious is this? Also they need to replace new chapters that introduce new perks and add killers and survivors with new maps and map styles!!!
dead by daylight was my favorite game I did 1900 hours very quickly but since the change of perks the game has become much softer and yet I miss it a lot but I can't play it again and it's sad.
