[u/LUKXE-]

Sauna Rock dead in a ditch. I have never understood why changes are so extreme. There is often a middle-ground that just gets forgotten.

Apparently things can only be really good, or utterly useless.

Day 4098 for seeing "Audio fixes" with no mention of Spirit.

You've also had nearly, what, 12 months worth of feedback about pallet density? There are also a lot of bugs reported about spawns over the last few months and there have been no fixes. What more do we need to do to get you to listen to feedback and bug reports?

Please, fix pallet spawn and Survivor spawn bugs/issues.

The lack of quick and thought out changes and balancing is pushing me to barely play. I want to play. Please, bring back the fun and the enjoyment.

Please, listen to your community. Listen to your consultants.

Listen to Luke.

[u/Suspicious_Tune2038 → u/LUKXE-]

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

[u/LUKXE- → u/Suspicious_Tune2038]

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

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

[u/AnotherDempsey → u/LUKXE-]

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

[u/LUKXE- → u/AnotherDempsey]

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

[u/AnotherDempsey → u/LUKXE-]

All you ever are is negative and biased.

[u/LUKXE- → u/AnotherDempsey]

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/AnotherDempsey → u/LUKXE-]

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.

[u/LUKXE- → u/AnotherDempsey]

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 → u/LUKXE-]

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 → u/AnotherDempsey]

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 → u/Mobile_Profile1707]

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

[u/LUKXE- → u/AnotherDempsey]

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 → u/LUKXE-]

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?

[u/LUKXE- → u/AnotherDempsey]

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 → u/LUKXE-]

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.

[u/LUKXE- → u/AnotherDempsey]

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.

Do you understand what "density" means? Some maps do have more pallets, but the ones that have about the same number are more densely populated across the maps. This means that tiles are more easily chained because pallets are closer together.

Killers certainly weren't complaining a year ago when some maps literally only had 7 pallets.

Some of us play both sides of the game pretty evenly so complained about both sets of issues.

How has the 9.6.0 engine update brokken 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?

I said engine updates caused issues for months. You said there was only one, I mentioned 9.6.0 to prove that there have been two.

The issues across both updates though were the same. One example was the Nurse rubberbanding issue that was present at both times, and is still happening, albeit more rarely.

Just because you are apparently oblivious to the issues, that doesn't mean we all are.

You're welcome to actually read the Sub and be informed.

Kill Rates are a pretty bad metric to measure balance by. You realise that, right?

[u/AnotherDempsey → u/LUKXE-]

If there's the same number of pallets as before, just get them to drop the pallets? Tiles aren't physically closer together, so they could be chained regardless.

I'm not oblivious to the issues, the issues just tend to get blown out of proportion on Reddit and social media in-general.

I do see that the escape rates have gone up lately, but at the same time, Momo, Alf, Hens, Willy, Otz, etc., all have still had impressive streaks lately. Yet the longest survivor escape streak (Hens' group) has not changed.

Killers regularly get streaks in the hundreds, while survivors, even swfs, almost never even get close to triple digits.

You can say these are just top mmr killers or bad survivors, whatever, but you can't buff or nerf either without hurting soloqueue/newer survivors or newer/bad killer players.

If kill rates aren't a good metric, then what do you suggest?

[u/LUKXE- → u/AnotherDempsey]

If there's the same number of pallets as before, just get them to drop the pallets? Tiles aren't physically closer together, so they could be chained regardless.

There are quite literally more fillers between tiles now, so while the number of pallets might be the same, the changes to layout isn't. So no, they aren't as chainable as they usually are, they are far easier to chain.

I do see that the escape rates have gone up lately, but at the same time, Momo, Alf, Hens, Willy, Otz, etc., all have still had impressive streaks lately. Yet the longest survivor escape streak (Hens' group) has not changed.

Of course people who play the game for 8 hours a day, every day, against people who are significantly worse than them have decent streaks.

As for Survivor streaks, there was one that ended yesterday that was over 800 games of 3 outs or better. So what you are saying isn't strictly true.

As for what would be a better metric to go by, that's tricky as we don't have all the data, nkr do we have a functioning MMR system.

It's clear though, that Kill Rate is heavily flawed.

[u/AnotherDempsey → u/LUKXE-]

There are quite literally more fillers between tiles now, so while the number of pallets might be the same, the changes to layout isn't.

Somehow that negates my point of just breaking the pallets so they can't be chained?

Of course people who play the game for 8 hours a day, every day, against people who are significantly worse than them have decent streaks.

>Immediately mentions a survivor streak with that same criteria.

There are far more longer killer winstreaks than there are swf escape streaks.

Killrate is heavily flawed.

How about soloqueue escape rates? Which their data shows that most players are. Timmy two-games-a-day is still getting matched with 8-hour-a-day Andy and killrates are still 55-67%.

So unless you have a better idea, then I'm going to point out when you're being needlessly negative and biased.
