This months Prime Gaming skin is Colorful Melancholy for the artist

I also knew that the 3 Gen Strategy was gonna be nerfed somehow then the update the Skull Merchant was gonna happen. Ultrasonic Trap Speaker being basekit is just another heavily situationally perk.
Her costumes are frequently free and/or promos. They assume they won't sell? Odd, since it's a woman. I mean none of them have been anything I'd buy, but you know.

The only thing making me annoyed about the Skull Merchant changes is that it's twice now where they made SWEEPING changes to how she works mechanically. I was liking the initial build. So much has changed now it's hard to wrap my head around what I already knew. What a sloppy fucking company all around.

I mean... at least her release Prime ones were good. This recolor is pretty trash besides the headpiece.

Also- I don't think they even knew what they were doing when they started working on Skull Merchant. Now they're just bending over backwards to "fix" things.

Someone pointed out that once a survivor or two of them are dead, so are the amounts of people that can hack a drone every 60s or so.

There were so many ways to make a tech based killer and of all the things it´s just drones and 3-gens.

I still stand by my initial thinking emoji that she had a speargun and they had to drop it because they couldn't get the Predator license. Or maybe whatever that homing throwing disc shit was called. So if a survivor got exposed by your drone and was in line of sight you could instantly down them.

Obviously this killer is just not fucking working.
 
I can't find the gif but a change is happening to the Bloodweb for the anniversary where you can just tap a thing and it automatically does the web for you. It takes about 5 seconds. So not bad because -I just timed it- my average is about 10-15 seconds.

Also, an accessibility feature is coming for the deaf:

Apparently DbD mobile has the same feature. Not bad. It would be amusing to see deaf people rage and scream in their autistic fury when playing this POS.

I quite like the sound of the deaf feature, if only so when I play as survivor to do challenges I can just listen to music or whatever while playing the game.

The Artist is getting an ultra rare skin in the upcoming Alice in Wonderland collection, from the leaked sounds it's thought that it'll be Jabberwocky themed, the Huntress is getting a very rare skin too along with some survivors (Nea, Ace and Kate - Feng is not included surpisingly).

I don't know what it is about the killer but even when I'm getting 4k I find she's still the least fun killer by far, even Trapper is more fun since you can lay traps on usual vault spots or next to the exit gate switch and there's some tactical play from both sides but for the Skull Merchant the only value for her drones I find is on generators or maybe in the killer shack (Which will typically cause the survivor to just run away).

The only way I find her tolerable is with her purple aura revealing add-on and even then it's not fun.

I just want to see a montage of deaf people screaming "WHY WANT DEY LEAF! I JUST WAT DA ONE HOOK! JURST FUCHING LEAF!"
 
Seeing a bunch of YouTube videos saying DbD is gonna die this year.

LMAO

When haven't people been prophesying this? And it's been worse before (when they invented Twins and Trickster and how buggy and shit they were). And then people will shut up again when the supposedly Alien chapter comes up like the Resident Evil chapters. People just fishing for validation for why the things they hate in this game is gonna kill it.

I do believe we're heading towards a sunset for the game. It's been 7 years now. How much longer could it possibly keep going like this? Is Behavior simply biding their time until the next generation of consoles come out, maybe Switch 2, so they can wring just that much more money from the cow and paypigs?

Think about it: they're ever-so slowly addressing long standing things and weird quirks of theirs like accessibility issues, the map graphical overhauls that started 2 years ago now they only have the Swamp maps left. Then they've realized that they can release new killers/survivors without creating a new map to go along with it.

Of course they can just keep adding shit until the inevitable heat death of the universe but beyond just adding more killers/survivors/perks/items what else can they do? New modes? They're too scared to do that because they don't want to split the base plus the spaghetti code.

Do I think it's all going to end this year? No. But give it another 2-3 years...

Well, if they end up announcing DbD 2 on the 10th anniversary and actually hire senior programmers who will make a decent game, then it might live on longer than that.

They could be doing that or might be forced to when Meet Your Maker inevitably bombs. It would be a fascinating shitshow to watch because the only way they can force the community to migrate over is to kill the servers. There would be inevitable backlash just because of that no matter how many charms they throw out. Plus there's a very good chance they can't renew the rights to some of the licenses.

In a hypothetical scenario where a DbD 2 happens then I think Freddy, Leatherface and Pinhead would be gone.

They could always do a ship of Theseus where it's techically the same game but most of the code and even assets are different, a Dead By Daylight 2.0.

Then it would be pointless and just a blatant cash grab just like Overwatch 2. If there was a DbD 2 then I think everyone would want the gameplay to be massively changed up.

I for one would prefer a game that's not about mindlessly looping or downing survivors and tediously throwing them on hooks and waiting for them to die. I would prefer something more like the other games where you just kill survivors, there's no pallets or window vaults, and they can respawn. Last Year: the Nightmare had the right idea with that where if you kill a survivor they respawn in a closet and other survivors need to rescue them.

That sounds interesting but honestly I have little faith in the current team at Behaviour to make a new game that's remotely fun or balanced.

Games as a Service seem to need to inevitably rebrand and resell the same experience eventually. It would be great if they didn't hire so many fucking other workers to make other games nobody asked for so this would be an easier transition. I think we're fine for 2 more years minimum, depends on which other licenses they have coming.

I really don't understand the corporate fear of Netflix having a leak about Stranger Things coming back, causing them to back out of the deal. BHVR doesn't need you, Netflix. You need them to advertise your niche series. The shit was made, just take the fucking money. I hate the way corporations and beauracracy work so fucking much.

The only way to do it is to start completely over. The experiment didn't work. Carry over none of the old guard that developed the original game. I'm sure Almo would love to work on one of their mobile gacha games instead of this as it interrupts his daily dick sucking.

Ubisoft supposedly pulled out (in that 4chan leak that predicted everything else) because of leaks for the Knight chapter. I assume that leaks just lead to an issue of trust and confidence more than anything.
 
A bit off-topic: how come we don't already have a thread on some of the cows from the DbD community?

Feel free to share some in this thread, the last time there was a streamer who was cow-ish posted in this thread was the one chick who sperged out about a viewer asking to see her panties or something, and they feminist freaked out in a viral clip and then urged her viewers to donate to Trans Lifeline(lol). The community is a mess of goofy people but someone has to do the legwork of clipping/explaining/writing it all up for posts. I would get Mad At The Internet trying to do a nice write-up of the favorable treatment and coverage the drag queens get streaming this game to a pitifully small audience.

Sorry, I didn't see this post. Go for it, mang. There's plenty of them. I know about the Jane Romero one you're talking about but then there's Angry Pug who is basically the DSP of DbD. You'd have a field day with tranny streamers for this game.

I don't think I've seen a game that is this filled with drag queens. It's actually insane how many of them there are.

AngryPug is not very interesting, all in all. His streams are mostly him complaining about people being noobs, as he proceeds to not look behind in chase - just like the aforementioned noobs. He attempted to move to Fortnite when Zero Build got released, but soon realized his fans just want DbD content, so he went back to it after a month (?). The Jane Romero guy is more interesting in comparison cause he's actually a big flake with cycles as big as Amberlynn Reid and sperges out like Foodie Beauty. His cycles usually are:
- make a statement about the game/the playerbase
- be met with the slightest negative comment
- proceed with follow-up tweet with sad Jane picture, saying how disappointed he is in the community
- gets his dick sucked off by his fanbase
- makes another follow-up about how happy he is about the support
Rinse, lather and repeat. And let's not forget how he sperges out in EGC and then cries transphobia when people talk back.

It doesn't help that he tweets 10 times a day. He has attempted to get into streaming since the pandemic and has been unemployed ever since. Dude in his thirties leeching off of his elderly father, spends 12 hours a day on DbD (even off stream). Others cook and clean for him. Stopped talking about transitioning and HRT somewhere mid September or October of last year cause he got told by his doctor that he needs to lose weight first. Otherwise, he tweeted about HRT delays nearly every week- but after this news he stopped completely (I wonder why lol). Lives vicariously through thinking he's Jane Romero IRL and his braindead fanbase endorses it completely. Now he believes that him liking Skull Merchant was a sign, kind of hinting at wanting to become the Skull Merchant. He's already nearly P50 on Skull Merchant, that's how deep this mental illness goes. He's a transbian, btw. He routinely chases and thirsts over women - specifically lesbian women and attempts to flirt with them and gets rejected every time. He's honestly a gold mine of cow content, which is why it surprises me that he hasn't gotten his own thread. Some recent examples:
IMG-7305.jpg
IMG-7312.jpg

Unironically uses the same sad Jane picture for all of his dramatic woe-is-me posts to drive home how depressed and deeply hurt he is. Also that second screenshot was a follow-up to this (it was tagged as TW DEATH THREAT btw lol):

IMG-7314.jpg

I could add more cause he tweets all the time, but I'd would end up writing an entire novel in a single post. He lives and breathes Twitter and DbD. And unironically calls himself a Queen™️.

EDIT: cannot forget about this gem
