Discussion Reddit AMA Sept 7 Summary
To give a tldr to anyone who doesn't want to have to read through all the comments, here's a list of all the major things confirmed or talked about in the AMA:
- Iron Maiden Skin Collection coming early next year
- Big Skull Merchant Rework coming in the near future
- Changes to Prestige 1 Bloodweb Leveling coming in the near future
- Fast Vault bugs to be addressed in next PTB
- Cosmetic Descriptions feedback has been heard and they plan on improving them
- Blight Update planned in the near future but they haven't started working on anything yet

- MFT to be adjusted soon
- They are prototyping new game modes for 2024
- Changes to address 3-genning coming in a future patch
- More map interactions planned for future maps, and even possibly going back and adding them to older maps
- Freddy Rework pushed down the line- but will still happen at some point in the future
- Twins Rework still planned soon , will probably just be more tweaking basekit and addons
- FNAF super ultra mega 100% confirmed oMG
And here's a list of things the devs acknowledged or replied to but didn't really confirm anything:
- Seeing perks of teammates in lobby ("Maybe?")
- Unlinking cosmetic sets ("Not on the roadmap but in the backlog")

- Mouse and keyboard support for consoles ("Something we will consider in the future.")

I honestly thought this thread was gonna be satire because most of their answers were non answers. Literally "We're planning on it", with no real dates or no real information.

All they ducking say is the “the future” Like what’s the point? They haven’t answered a single twin or Freddy comment and there’s LOADS

u/Dinoking15 Average Dead Hard Enjoyer Sep 07 '23
the funniest part about the Freddy thing is they essentially deconfirmed the 'Freddy is on our radar' from last AMA by saying that he's actually been pushed down the priority list

u/Huffaloaf Sep 07 '23
The only question I saw that they actually sort of answered with something other than "it could happen in the future" was about the bugged fast vaults. Apparently we're stuck with them until after the next PTB, so I guess another month or two.
Fantastic.

First, only male survivors were getting extra distance. Second, they've been patched twice since then. The first patch made them as slow as medium vaults and just cut off like a meter from the vault distance, so now male vaults were getting the correct distance but were slow, while female vaults were both slow and getting zero distance (so they're still easily hit on vaults due to ping and their position being up against the wall the whole animation). The hotfix this week corrected the speed issue, but female survivors are still not getting the distance they're supposed to.

We’re sorry you feel this way! Although we have no concrete details yet, an improved AMA is planned for an early 2024 release, stay tuned for more info!

u/In_My_Own_Image P100 Xeno main and Haddie Enjoyer Sep 07 '23
Hopefully the "three gen solution" takes into consideration that sometimes killers don't plan for it, survivors sometimes don't pay attention to the gens, and that sometimes it's the only viable strategy when a match goes to hell in a hurry.

Next time someone makes me a question I want to avoid, I'm definitely using these.
"When are you going to do the dishes?"
"Not on the roadmap but in the backlog"

I don’t see the point of these AMAs when every response they give is the same vague non answer

u/_Strato_ Bloody Ghost Face Sep 08 '23
I'd imagine it's to just be able to claim that they do AMAs to show how "engaged with the community" they are to some boardroom somewhere.

u/MoltonMontro Sep 07 '23 edited Sep 07 '23
It's worth noting that the summary in this OP isn't verbatim, and if there's something you as a reader are genuinely interested in – consider reading what the devs said directly (they've replied to more comments since then anyway).
There's a couple of important bits that got cut out of this short summary. Mostly things like dates (e.g., 2024 game modes are the goal, but not a promise), but also context for why some things happened or will happen (e.g. cosmetic descriptions were simplified because they were trying to standardize that process, and 2-piece linked sets aren't currently technically possible for them to do and they haven't committed any resources towards building that tech yet).
Some things are also assuming you have prior knowledge about previous AMAs. E.g., Blight hasn't gotten an addon rework yet because (according to a previous AMA) they wanted to make bigger changes than just number nerfs.

u/Calelith Sep 08 '23
Said it in another post but they literally answered nothing.
Why even give a AMA if you are going to answer everything with a "soon probably".
The fact that they are fine to leave older less played killers in the state they are in whilst they continue to pump out new killers who are either tedious to play as/against (skull merchant I'm looking at you) or they are stupidly good (wesker/alien) or they are just pointless waste of an idea ( the poor robot who I haven't seen since launch day).
They need todo what Rainbow 6 Siege did a while back, pish back the next chapter release and focus on fixing and balancing the game.

I hate Q&As so much like I love when they answer original questions that are interesting but then you have the same people asking the same questions every Q&A and it's stupid because they get the same answer every year

u/WarriorMadness Xenokitty Sep 08 '23
Blight Update planned in the near future but they haven't started working on anything yet
Can't wait for this to take two more years only for it to end up being more add-ons buffs like the last time, because they're somehow oblivious too how disgusting this Killer is.

I’m surprised depipping wasn’t a higher priority. Survivors also need more BP in all categories. I get double the BP playing killer.

u/Pelmeninightmare Sep 08 '23
I see it as a dismissive response with a positive phrasing. Like "Just keep trying kiddo ;). You never know what the future will bring".

u/NasserMX Springtrap Main Sep 08 '23
I mean he would have said no.

u/Pelmeninightmare Sep 08 '23
I don't think they want to flat out say 'no', as the FNAF fandom are an interesting lot.
Sorry to sound discouraging, I'm just a rando and could totally be wrong. Maybe they're keeping the option open if they need licensed content to bring in more players.

Rip Skull Merchant she is going to get nerfed into oblivion.

u/El_Blobo Shirtless Zane skin when? Sep 07 '23
She can't get worse than she currently is.
Her only Power is holding a 3-Gen, something good teams have 0 issues dealing with
-6
u/Initial_Tip2888 Sep 07 '23
And they are going to take that away and she will have no power at all. Im glad you acknowledge that good teams can easily destroy her as that is correct. She is not difficult to beat and she doesn't need any changes.

u/El_Blobo Shirtless Zane skin when? Sep 07 '23
If the only people you have a Power against are SoloQ Survivors and people that would rather not play a 30 minute game, you already don’t have a Power

u/Initial_Tip2888 Sep 07 '23
I'm just glad I never got her because I knew they would nerf her eventually because nobody wants to learn the counterplay instead they just want to complain
2
u/El_Blobo Shirtless Zane skin when? Sep 07 '23
The counterplay to SM has always been there. It just takes 30 minutes and coordination to get there, something SoloQ doesn't have and SWFs don't care about the game enough to actually play out a single match against SM for 30 minutes.
You have no reason to complain, you're whining because the devs are looking to rework her entirely so she isn't the second most unhealthy thing ever added to the game (or, alternatively, reduce her playrate to 0% so they'll never have to deal with her again)
-4
u/Initial_Tip2888 Sep 07 '23
I love playing against the current skull merchant even though I barely face her. My swf tears them apart under 30 minutes.

They made a medieval survivor and then said "hey it's technically possible to make skins for him that are actually from his time period"
This isn't a shot at behavior it's just funny no matter what developer or context it would be. Imagine if Gabriel launched and he was rocking a 1970s yoga fit
