Do you even play your own game?

It’s a stupid question, because you don’t.
1. How can you release a completely broken chapter just like that? Then say you’re fully aware you’re releasing it in a broken state and maybe you’ll fix it later ? It’s baffling.
2. How have you kept this ranking system for this long, when it doesn’t work and it continuously places people with vastly different skill playing together ? it’s also ridiculously easy to rank up. Way too easy
3. How can you release map “reworks” that are completely empty full of dead zones, new players will hardly get used to what a pallet is. There is none.
4. How do you keep breaking 10 things when releasing 1? How does a new DLC break Legion? Are you even aware of what you’re doing?
5. How do you keep releasing a new killer every month and a half when there has been issues for YEARS that remain unfixed and THEN you release a broken and buggy killer?
We want a “FIX YOUR GAME” DLC next. Stop releasing new content without addressing all that’s broken and unfinished. Fix the audio, fix the maps, fix the crashes, fix your killers, fix the balance issues. Fix your god damn game.
Comments
they need to do what r6 seige did they made a whole operation called operation : health where they fixed the game and only that nothing new just fixes
or friday the 13th, the past two years they have been trying to fix every single bug for the final update ever for the game even tho they can't release new content
can you stop
you fix the game if your so good
at this point it's pretty clear that they do not play their own game, at least at the higher levels: on the PTB it took people like 2 games to understand that lockers hard counter victor and that there's no reason not to keep victor attached to you, removing the entire killer's power.
onto the live version: not only there are thousand of game breaking bugs, but the first thing that I thought about the new killer is how powerless victor is if a survivor camps the upper floor of Laurie's balcony: since if he jumps, he either surpass the balcony, hence dropping down, or gives time to the survivor to kick him.
You’re the dream costumer of any big corporation.
This release from the PTB is baffling considering that the full release is even buggier than the test build. Not only do I not want to play with an unfinished killer... I dont want to play with this many bugs on live either.
The devs do play their own game and some even stream it. They all seem to really care for DbD, and want the best for the game. Which is why I don’t think it’s the devs fault for chapters being released earlier than they should’ve.
If they play and care for their game they do an excellent job and making it seem the opposite. Not only have they not fixed all the issues the game has had for years now, they won’t even fix the new DLC before releasing it at this point. They knowingly release broken content. They said so themselves in the patch notes.
I don’t care if they stream their game, they’re still selling us broken content.
Almo and McLean both stream several times a week playing DBD.
Then they should stream less and work more
Y'know, we should maybe start a hashtag to get investors to see how unhappy we are with the state of the game...
I mean, I love the lore and I've met some of my best friends through DbD, but even though I don't play long, seeing bug-infested patch after bug-infested patch, all while the devs go on stream saying they won't do a health patch... (two or three dev streams ago) is... well, gotta go for where it hurts.
I propose #DeniedByDaylight ?
I think you're missing the point of what some of these comments are saying. I fully believe that the Dev's are great people, and truly care about this game.
But the higher-up at BHVR as a company probably pushed this chapter before it was ready. Investors, someone higher-up on the ladder. This chapter is 100% unacceptable in terms of bugs, but instead of attacking the Developer's we need to make it clear to BHVR, the company, investor side, that we - the consumer - want them to take their time. Attacking the Developer's does nothing.
They’re trying their best to fix all the bugs in time, but they have set themselves this unrealistic goal of a chapter every 3 months and they are too stubborn to change up the schedule. Or perhaps they want to have more time, but can’t because higher ups are forcing them into it.
You demand explanations from those you know. I demand explanations from the developers I know and see on the streams , the community managers. Those in contact with the community. I can’t communicate with the CEOs because I don’t know who they are. And I don’t know their names. And I don’t think they even read this. If they don’t play their own game much less read their own forums.
I as a costumer don’t care if “tHeY StrEAm tWiCe a WeEk” if the game’s broken.
They can't keep keeping this up without something else giving further. Allegedly 141+ new bugs with the new patch atop the existing bugs beforehand. A shift of resources or time obviously needs to be made.
They stream at night during their free time, not during working hours. I thought you were complaining that they didn't play their game but when you find out 2 devs do and publicly you don't think they should play their game? OK then. 😂
I'm glad they play it, but why did they not bring up the victor locker tech to the rest of the dev team before the ptb was released?
That's fair. I doubt the developers can actually do or say anything, contracts and all that, but I don't believe we should attack and blame the developers for what was most likely a corporate decision they had little say over. This chapter sucked, in terms of the quality of the content that was put out, but attacking and demanding things from the Developer's (when they might not be able to even say anything) doesn't sit right with me.
All we can do is try to get it across to them, and hopefully whoever's in charge of their time, to give them more time to put out better content. The Dev's make some baffling decisions sometimes, but I doubt it was theirs to push this chapter out so early, in such a state.
I don’t care if they stream their game. I don’t know how this is so difficult to understand for you, costumer of the year. What I want is the game to be fixed, stream it or not.
I want them to release FINISHED and WORKING DLCs, stream it or not.
I want them to slow down new content and fix the already present content that’s been needing fixes FOR YEARS, stream it or not.
Watch their stream, become a subscriber, moan their lawn. I don’t care about that.
This new DLC is a shame and the state of the game in general is a shame.
Maybe they just didn't try the tech, hence there being a ptb. Ptb there's a larger player base of varying playstyles that will find techs the devs may not even think to try.
That's fair, albeit disappointing. I hope the devs expand their internal testing or release the ptb much earlier going foward.
he shouldnt, because of people like you we deserve what we get. ive never seen such problems in any other videogame (even way bigger games) dont justifiy them, please dont be that guy. demand for good not for bad, demand when you are paying for a product, bugs taht are still there since release, and they break the game way more after every release, but skins are working as intended and the same goes with the shop. so please dont be that guy.
The title of your post is "Do you even play your game?" and then your first line is "It's a stupid question because you don't." I answered your question that they do, and publicly so you can see how they play and their opinions on the bugs/glitches - which they do talk about.
The Devs don't get to decide what is/isn't worked on. Higher ups want to see money flowing into the company and as long as people continue to purchase broken DLCs they are going continue pushing out new content. There was an announcement prior to release that it'd be unfinished and still people bought the DLC. Be mad at those that continue to buy announced unfinished content that pads a CEOs bank account, not the Devs that have higher ups making them focus on new content over game health.
We are not part of the company that earns millions each month with DbD.
Their job to fix it and now there are more and more threads on the forum from unhappy players. It was not like this some years ago.
They have to do something now.
They don't, when they do "around the campfire" streams, they're all rank 20
I'd love for the ptb to be out earlier as well as some sort of beta that console could participate in because there's definitely console specific issues they miss out on.
THIS.
then play the bigger video games
Again, I will say it once more in case I didn’t explain myself well enough the first time. I don’t care if they stream their game.
My question is if they play their own game, because if that’s the case, they must know better than anyone the content isn’t ready to be released. Or that the content that is currently released isn’t working properly or doesn’t have enough quality. So, when I ask “Do you play your own game?” The question must be no, because otherwise they’re knowingly releasing broken content and they must answer for that.
I don’t care they talk about their opinions on bugs and glitches. We do that. Their job is to fix it. It has been years with some of them.
