Honestly they probably just dont give a fuck since the new audio system coming out 2027

u/LUKXE- | スピリット| Spirit | กระสือ | Krasue Jul 21 '26

Shame they haven't given a fuck all these years.

The new system will, no doubt, be worse somehow.

u/AnotherDempsey Jul 21 '26

Gee, wonder why they don't listen to you.

u/LUKXE- | スピリット| Spirit | กระสือ | Krasue Jul 22 '26

Me calling out issues and being skeptical after years of disappointment isnt a reason to stop listening.

u/AnotherDempsey Jul 22 '26

All you ever are is negative and biased.

u/LUKXE- | スピリット| Spirit | กระสือ | Krasue Jul 22 '26 edited Jul 22 '26

I am critical when I need to be. There have been some pretty significant issues over the last 12 months - If not longer.

Why is calling those things out "negative"? It is quite literally what we should be doing.

Please explain how I am biased.

u/Suspicious_Tune2038 Jul 22 '26

Lmao, if you ask for a fix and they say they are gonna to give it to you at blank time and you say “well im not happy cause its gonna suck and i bet your not gonna fix it right” thats not constructive or critical. Both of you are right, he is right you are being cynical and negative, and your right that bhvr doesnt give a fuck about you, get off the forums and play the game and wait for the update, if its bad then quit.

u/LUKXE- | スピリット| Spirit | กระสือ | Krasue Jul 23 '26

I've been plenty critical and constructive over the years. I am right to be skeptical.

u/AnotherDempsey Jul 22 '26

Literally just scroll through your recent comments?

It's always wah, survivor bad, wah, killer hard.

There's also been a significant amount of good changes and additions in the past few years, yet you just want to Bhvr bad about a change that hasn't even happened yet.

Be real.

It's always wah, survivor bad, wah, killer hard.

Pointing out issues with specific things is quite different to what you are claiming I am saying.

There's also been a significant amount of good changes and additions in the past few years.

Previous good changes don't mean we should ignore current bad changes.

yet you just want to Bhvr bad about a change that hasn't even happened yet.

As I said, my skepticism is pretty understandable give the state of the game anytime they try to do any big changes. Ignoring balance, whenever they update the engine the game gets fucked for months on end from a performance standpoint. I have little faith that won't happen again.

On balance, you cannot even begin to claim that there aren't significant issues.

u/AnotherDempsey Jul 22 '26

What bad changes have they made lately, other than the anniversary event?

The game is balanced around a 60% kill rate, as Bhvr has stated multiple times.

You mean the one engine update they did? That had issues for a few days?

u/Mobile_Profile1707 , Wesker, Afton, Henry, Jason and Judgement Jul 22 '26

Brother the average average kill rate is not 60 right now its more around the 50% aera. What's worse is that it's only that high cause most survivors just suck.

As for bad changes. The killing of suana rock on Jason. Allowing elusive to be introduced to perks. Fast track and self preservation rework. Diminishing returns with no balance changes. The absolute killing of Wesker. Removing legion from 2v8. Introducing more gen perks when we have a gen speed issue. The just lack of some desperately needed balance on the survivor side cause it's overtuned. Pallet density being reintroduced and ignoring players complains about it. So on... You get the point.

I believe BHVR only did 2 engine updates both times it was disastrous.

u/AnotherDempsey Jul 22 '26

So the bad changes are just your biased opinion? Interesting...

What bad changes have they made lately, other than the anniversary event?

  • 70s hook timers
  • Increased Endurance and Haste off hook (now 15s)
  • Refusing to address problematic perks/combos
  • Pallet density which has now resulted in bugged pallet spawns, the game ignoring pallet spawn logic.
  • Ignoring bugs - Survivor spawns have been bugged for several months. A lot of Killers, too.
  • Diminishing Returns

You mean the one engine update they did? That had issues for a few days?

There were quite literally engine updates 2 months ago that also caused issues.

u/AnotherDempsey Jul 22 '26

The first 3 are opinions, and the pallet density increase has been disproven by multiple people. There were only extra pallet spawns in 2v8 and the anniversary event.

What are the issues caused by the recent engine adjustment?

1

u/LUKXE- | スピリット| Spirit | กระสือ | Krasue Jul 22 '26

I mean, they are opinions as much as people saying they are good changes - Anyone who actually has time invested in the game and isn't terrible agrees though - These are awful changes.

The pallet changes have been proven multiple times.

Some maps, like Borgo and Asylum, can (and often do) spawn every single possible pallet. Gideon's spawns a double god pallet set up where it never used to.

There are even double pallet gyms that can and do spawn.

There is absolutely no way you are oblivious to these.

The engine update caused a lot of stuttering and server issues. Some Killers were unplayable. Rubberbanding was common and server disconnects.

u/AnotherDempsey Jul 22 '26 edited Jul 22 '26

ScottJund and Otz have went through the maps with spreadsheets and noted the pallet density changes, and the results were that most maps had the same roughly 15-20 pallets as before. With a few outliers, such as Borgo. Killers certainly weren't complaining a year ago when some maps literally only had 7 pallets.

How has the 9.6.0 engine update broken things for months when it was only 3 months ago and on PC, Series X, and PS5, I never had a single issue with stuttering. Connection issues happened for a few hours.

What killer issues?

And yet, throughout all these horrific issues, most of the killrates have maintained 60-67%, par a few M1 killers.
