Ranting about DBD's Flawed Progression System

Summary

In this video, the creator reflects on the evolving state of Dead by Daylight (DbD), expressing concern about the game's current direction despite improvements over the years. They highlight the impact of event modes, long queue times for killers, and repetitive gameplay elements like map offerings, survivor items, and disconnections. The creator suggests potential changes, such as limiting map offerings, reworking medkit add-ons, and addressing issues like slugging and quitting. Ultimately, they share their fears about the game's future, especially as it becomes more dominated by veteran players and less fun for newcomers.

Takeaways

• 😀 DBD has generally improved over time, with patches making the game more balanced and diverse.
• 😀 The new 2v8 game mode is fun, but the long queue times for killers (up to 15 minutes) create a frustrating experience for streamers.
• 😀 Map offerings, especially for Auto Haven and McMillan, have become problematic due to bugs and survivor favoritism, leading to unbalanced gameplay.
• 😀 Survivors now frequently bring very strong items like syringes and medkits, which often make the game less interesting and predictable.
• 😀 Disconnections and quitting during games have become more common, especially among veteran players, due to lenient penalties for quitting.
• 😀 Map offerings should be limited or adjusted to prevent players from repeatedly choosing advantageous maps, which causes gameplay stagnation.
• 😀 Medkit add-ons need a rework to make them more engaging, as currently, strong add-ons like the syringe overshadow all other options.
• 😀 Slugging has become a popular and often more efficient strategy, especially with recent changes that make it more rewarding for killers.
• 😀 The introduction of the yellow Mory has backfired, making slugging more common as killers leave downed survivors on the ground to find the last one.
• 😀 Suggestions for improving DBD include reducing the incentive for disconnections, limiting map offerings, and reworking medkit add-ons for more variety.
• 😀 The game's future may become problematic if these issues are not addressed, especially as veteran players dominate and casual players leave.
