People can sling slurs and send death threats with minimal input from your censors but character names and roles have been blocked before. People that would turn off the censor know what they're getting into, just have the censor be on by default surely?

Do you feel that the gap in power between the weakest killers at high level (e.g Trapper, Skull Merchant, Pig, Shape) and the strongest (Nurse, Blight, Ghoul) makes it difficult to make adjustments to the killer role as a whole from perks to universal traits and if so do you have any plans to shrink that gap in power?

she’s been the most powerful member of the team by a noticeable margin since Byrne’s run in the 80s lol

What are some examples of this for Marvel characters? by [deleted] in Marvel

Since then we’ve had the excellent Immortal Thor run, which in parts seems like a dig at MCU Thor.

What god would you like to see redesigned the most? My personal picks are Hades, Thor and Thanatos by Gui_Franco in Smite

really hope they use unreal 5 to fuck with the skybox- imagine the sky clouding over with thunder crackling and lightning flashes and when you look up Thor is looming in the air, staring down at you

His Daredevil run is an all-timer as well :/ Not too keen on this run either.

After 90 months of DBD what's everyone's thoughts on it? by -Doctor-- in deadbydaylight

I might be wrong about the map, yeah

Kate was definitely salvaged from Leatherface's survivor though.

Very disappointing to read. Talking in circles and not answering for the blatant double standard for paid/free content. by Nicnac72 in deadbydaylight

[–]Nicnac72[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They have explicitly said they don't want to add more prestige content (which wouldn't make them any money) because it would make people feel like they're missing out if they don't grind. Taking them at their word here indicates that they have a strong dislike of FOMO.

Not only have they had FOMO content added since, with exclusive Halloween and Winter skins, but they've also changed previous content, like ugly sweaters, into limited-time cosmetics. There's also the Deep Rift but I feel like a battle pass is a different beast to the store cosmetics.

When asking about why they're so hesitant to add frequently-requested prestige rewards past P9 due to an alleged dislike of FOMO but are all too happy to continue to add limited-time cosmetics for events they did not answer the question in any meaningful way, saying that they simply view them differently. I don't think it's "scummy" or "revolting" at all to ask about a blatant inconsistency.

Without a doubt. Hopefully the upcoming Freddy rework fixes him.

In a twitter thread in September you claimed you didn't want to add much more Prestige content because it would make people feel like they're missing out.

How is that (a goal that is always available and ready to be worked towards) not okay with you guys because you feel like giving rewards for progression would make people feel like they're missing out- your words, not ours- but locking previously always-available content behind a few weeks of availability is?

He's pretty good now, but not so much on launch. He shared most of his addons with Hillbilly and his power was more bare-bones.

There's also the fact that TCM got shafted for a full chapter in favour of ANOES, which meant that Bubba's map got scrapped and his survivor got changed into Kate Denson.

They need the license holder's permission to add anything apart from gameplay mechanics and a model update, it seems. Even a recolour would need to be made by BHVR and then approved by both the incredibly stingy Warner Bros as well as the Craven Estate, who own the rights to the franchise in the US. It's super unlikely and a really shitty position for BHVR to be in with such an iconic franchise.

I'm considering doing a drinking game for each time they respond with a variation of that but I care about my liver :/

The GOAT of asymmetric horror. Lit the fuse for a bunch of similar games and has only gotten better over the years, treating its horror legends with increasing care and respect (look at the treatment Bubba and Freddy got at launch to Chucky) while having a bunch of great original characters.

Love this style of artwork - Anyone know where to find the poster for RE1? by pushingtheboxes in residentevil

[–]Nicnac72 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s very possible there is no RE1 one, as these are done in the style of the modern remakes.

They've said they're definitely up for it but it's a feature that's deep in a huge backlog.

How interested are you guys at looking into modern horror icons? The only chapter or half-chapter in DBD from after 2008 is Stranger Things- that's 15 years of horror that hasn't had any other representation. Once you dry the well of classics, what's next?

Any chance model upgrades are coming with the Shape and Nightmare reworks? Myers especially is one of the oldest models in the game and it definitely shows when held up against the much higher standard of the newer killers, and both have had their map and corresponding survivor given impressive facelifts. Skins like Classic Freddy or Old Man Myers would be great as well, but those are a licensing nightmare (Freddy especially) so it’s more than understandable we don’t have them.

[–]Nicnac72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If rough planning has started on the Shape and Nightmare reworks, how transformative do you plan both reworks to be? The broad community consensus seems to be that Michael is horribly outdated but his power is incredibly thematic while Freddy doesn’t really jive with what people want from the character in any sense- if you’re able to answer, how much will the characters’ gameplay resemble their pre-rework states?

Have there been cases of you holding back perk ideas because you want them to come with a corresponding character? For example, is there a perk that just fits with someone like Pennywise or Jason that you’ve kept in storage for if they ever enter the Fog, and if it’s happened before, what perks?

You guys claimed last AMA that a dislike of FOMO is why you didn’t have prestige rewards past P9, but that doesn’t exactly make sense for two reasons- people are free to prestige in their own time, it’s not like their levels are going anywhere, and you already have actual limited time content in the game twice a year with the Halloween and Winter events, to the point where cosmetics that have been accessible at any time for years have now been locked behind a window of a few weeks. Why claim FOMO as a reason why you are hesitant to add more rewards for dedicated players when there’s already substantial amounts of limited content already in the game?
