I want to clarify one thing. Mostly everything in this update would have been completely fine and even healthy for the game if just done in a better way. Destroying Rancor and to a lesser extent Devour Soap is just plain dumb though.
Confused why 2 perks are now base kit but even with Mori basekit it's not a second chance just a alt Condition. Wish they added basekit ruin or corrupt some sort.
rancor is 100% trash NOW! the only reason to take rancor is to kill your obesseion that didn't have hooks!. and its a late game perk! now that survivor gets hook chances on top of that fuck rancor its a end game perk take other endgame perks that affect multiple survivors and do the same thing LOL!.
Looks like BHVR are caving to entitled survivors that are blaming game mechanics for their lack of skill. If survivor players don't want to be slugged then they shouldn't essentially hold the game hostage by hiding at the edge of the map in a locker when there is two of them left so they are hold out for hatch. Next they'll increase wiggle speed so that entire SWF teams get more value from body blocking hooks and then running to the edge of the map to heal each other.
I agree with you and Can't believe some dbd content makers are saying this will change nothing.
I foresee alot of people DCing lol. It's inevitable.
This game is gonna be Dead in like 1 or 2 years
I uninstalled the game yesterday because it is so stressful for a Solo queue player like me.
And when I play killer, there are cheaters in every 3 to 4 lobby.
i hate how killers complain about literally every single update or buff survivors get, even if it’s necessary for the health of the game..
but cheer for joy and give BHVR a standing ovation when they nerf survivor or buff killer…
the surplus of bias and lack of self awareness from killer mains is embarrassing at this point 🤦🏽♂️
100% agree. The moment I heard these changes I was completely confused. They sound awful. I've played loads of DBD recently… maybe once in like, 250 matches did my whole team get slugged. It was our fault. Just made me think, 'oh, should have brought Unbreakable.' I have no idea why slugging is considered such an issue that they need to completely ruin moris and fun perks like Rancor/Hex: Devour, create insanely unfun situations for killer with SWF abusing their infinite unbreakables and force the game down a more linear path than it's ever been before.
They seriously couldn't have added the "unbreakable" effect but make it to where the survivor interacts with a hook and has an 3-5 second animation where the survivor struggles and stands themselves up using (the twisted metal beam of) the hook?
I would rather there have been some risk/reward mechanic that the survivor has to gamble with while also allowing the killer a small window to stop it and hook them.
Took something around 2 years for survivors to stop milking (cleansing) totems, 4 years for a believable "repair generator" animation and 5 years for them to add an interaction for the key opening the hatch… how much longer do we have to wait for a self revive animation / interaction?
I'm glad that slugging is finally being addressed, but I would have preferred there to be more environment interactions required instead of just "you held down your recovery button and got up".
I'm not mad, I'm disappointed…
Why do people act like these changes are set in stone? Overall the base kit unbreakable solves a huge problem with slugging so it's a step in the right direction. All the problems it causes like with twins or pallets can be solved with new perks or buffs to mechanics (ex. It takes 2 seconds to fully pick yourself up at the end, during which the killer can hit and redown you)
Dbd isn't an e sport and never will be lol. It's an RNG game
This is game over if it goes live
I would argue if you go against slugging for 4k sweaty basement dwelling (irl) nurse, you as a survivor get to move on sooner, that's a W
Devour and rancor nerfs are blasphemous though
Nice video!
Here, have some algorithm points ✨
I feel the same about the new update.
Moris literally make the whole game better and more interesting. Now all the mori perks/offerings are worth less than dog shit that's left on the street for 2 weeks.
Really bad time to make an april fools joke from bhvr. I'd rather have maps or killers reworked than dragging moris through shit and make twins useless
Aside from the commentary, watching you save the Leon but then no one decided to take hits for him or hook stages was heart breaking.
Funny though, in their latest survey they ask how often we encounter hackers and how annoying they are for us to play against/with. It makes me think they have something planned
I like the idea of basekit unbreakable. But only if they remove some of the unhookable areas that exists on some maps. As it stands now it would be so easy to kite the killer to one of those areas and just stand there. If they down you? Great, they wont reach the hook in time so you can shake lose, meaning you wasted their time. They slug you and leave? Just get up i 20 secoonds. They realise what you did an just leave you? Wasted their time. Its too easy to abuse as things are now.
With this upcoming patch as well as the previous one, BHVR are clearly over-correcting in regards to balancing survivor and killer – when map size and tile RNG are what need addressing. Oh, and the rampant cheating
It's really gross. 1 use of 1 Unbreakable was able to pull whole squads back from the brink and BHVR thinks it's a good idea to give a team of survivors the ability to pick themselves up to 20 times with no help whatsoever as base kit.
Also it will lead to more hard tunneling in scenarios where the killer returns to the hook around when the rescue happens but can't find the rescuer and ends up chasing the recently unhooked. I'd often leave em slugged to generate pressure while I looked for someone else… but if they go live with 45s UB I'm pitching them right back on the fooking hook or eating that DS.
I like how all the comments are just people getting mad and not realizing that this update isn't even coming out soon. The ptb isn't even out. Some of yall even to calm down and see what happens in the ptb
Idk if it has a technical term but I liken this to a painter that eventually ruins a masterpiece because they constantly make unnecessary tweaks to every aspect of the art.
They wanna make Slugging this cool thing…
BUT Slugging will become impossible due to the new unbreakable…
This all just proves BHVR doesn't play their own game smfh
Whats wrong with slugging? Literally only viable if you use knockout hence only works if you use m1.
If you managed to get 4 man downed by m1, then the survivors play like shit
How about when a gen reaches 90% it resets to 0%, everytime. I think I could work at bhvr man this idea is so good.
“You're going to see nothing but starstruck nurses and tunneling pp heads."
Wait… there're other killers?
wait wait wait WAIT! There's no fucking way some of you take this game so seriously that you think it should become an esport or even have any esport potential. Jesus christ I'm more tired of people on this game being PRESSED for a W in a game that is a party game than BHVR making some pretty lukewarm patch notes.
Watched three seconds and I think your just an entitled survivor main
This slugging rework will only entice killers to bleed out lone survivors instead of hooking them, bashing them back to the floor if they even choose to get up.
I play both and slugging is the worst in the game, it's so boring I am happy now they are making slugging impossible.
Choy making the same video “BHVR ruins DBD” every update.
Devs should make rancor and devour hope instantly bleed out survivors when downed as a substitute for ability to mori them
Woot no more slugged then wait for timer!
Im cool with the update, playing killer has been too easy since the past 2 updates
I simply can't understand the thought process for this update. Can somebody please explain what they think the devs were aiming for with these changes?
I mean I can see slugging being an issue for some killers, but all they've done is remove slugging from all the killers that badly needed it and actually buffed the killers in which slugging is far too strong…
Damn, I'm really surprised you have such poor foresight on this matter. I've seen some of your previous videos and this one doesn't even sound like you with how nonsensical and overdramatic it is lol.
Not being able to slug anyone atleast for a minute to chase someone while you're using infectious fright. And now can only ever mori one survivor instead of 4 with devour so fucking lame such a shit update. And as a survivor takes so much fun out of either rarely or needing teamwork to pull of power struggles or unbreakable just makes it happen heaps so boring
Loving it. Survivors get one of the strongest perks ingame as a buffed version as base kit, while the Killers get nerfs on two fun perks plus a nerf to Moris and all that just for a little fun change so people can finally see the Moris of killers they've never seen before. Yay.
Why can't they add tournament mode then for us casuals they can just give us original mode instead
DBD is a sinking ship. The developers are incompetent and you don’t need to look very far to see how. Just look at their map designs for a prime example. They’ve been doing this for years now, yet they still fail to design maps around the core gameplay loop.
Whenever Behavior designs a map, they always make sure the aesthetics of the map come first, then they design it around gameplay.
The RPD map is a prime example of this. The first RPD map was absolutely horrid. It looked good, sure, but it played absolutely horribly. You’d have long twisting hallways just to end up in a dead end or something equally frustrating. The map was basically unplayable for killers such as hillbilly, and blight because there’s so much stuff blocking your path that it’s impossible to chainsaw sprint or dash without bumping into things. Even when there was just a hallway, it’s like Behavior couldn’t help but add in some luggage or some other tiny, not needed item in the hallway for the express purpose of making sure you can’t use your power down them without constantly bumping into things.
And what do they do about the map? Oh yea, they split into two maps that are basically the same and solve none of the issues with the map in the first place.
All the pallets on the map are either god pallets or pallets you better prey land on the killer’s head, because if it doesn’t, then you’re taking a hit.
None of the pallets are playable, and there was a god window next to a god pallet.
I literally have both watched people die and had myself die because either I, or my teammates, couldn’t find the one arbitrarily path to the hooks in time.
They add killers like The Ring girl, who costs real money, then immediately release a better character just reskinned after she’d been sold. (The Dredge)
The whole game runs on spaghetti code so they can’t even fix or tweak on things without it ruining 50 other things in the process.
They completely ignore the fact that 90% of the killer roster isn’t viable at higher level play.
Don’t even get me started on what they did to pig. Actually, it would be easier to list the things they didn’t do to her.
It just feels like the map designs, Gen placements, and killer compatibility to the maps were an afterthought most of the time.
The cheaters are so out of control that it’s in no way funny or amusing. The fucking novelty runs dry after the first 3 fucking encounters, maybe even less if they’re subtle, or worse, blatant ones that hold games hostage.
I don’t even play in pc and I’m pissed because these hackers can join console lobbies, whether you have cross-play on or not.
The game is sinking. The devs are incompetent. I’d suggest finding new games to make content on because you’re not the captain of the ship, so you shouldn’t have to go down with it.
Survivor mains are so shit that they need 2 of the best perks in the game for free just to not whine. Fuck survivor mains. Survivors suck. They are literally getting 6 perks now with absolutely zero downside and I bet they'll still complain. "we don't want killers to play sweaty, so let's make BHVR give us even more overpowered, broken shit! That'll make them play less sweaty!"
Killer mains and victim complexes. Name a more iconic duo.
Subtle cheaters are gonna have a blast with the new update
