I think it’s both

I personally don’t care what your star is I just know some people care that I am in high 2 star more often then the fact I’m in 3 star

Here’s another one for ya! forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-dayl...

The problem is that BHVR would- and my guess still does. Nerf things by most usage. Most usage doesn’t necessarily mean something is OP- but could instead mean that there’s a core gameplay issue that needs to be addressed. But they have not done that effectively. That’s what I mean.

Took me a bit to find it but here. forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-dayl... they used to release these all the time. They actually stopped once I think singularity released? But here we can see most use items, perks, and killers. Showing the meta and general opinion of how gameplay works

Tbh most of the competition destroyed itself for one reason or another.

So yeah- I’m not really one to believe they are ultizing their resources correctly. Whether it be ignoring, incorrect interpretations, or prioritizing in the wrong order. The point is even with the data they have, BHVR does not have their shit together, and I don’t think they will get it together.

And yeah. They do have the consultants. But we have also seen and heard from those consultants that BHVR frequently chooses not to listen to them. Otzdarva and Hens have been frequent voices for the community and are consultants, and we have seen them directly be ignored.

I mean sure. I get what you’re saying. But also they have shared the data of community opinions in surveys before. And it generally matches my belief of the community. However I think BHVR interprets a lot of that data incorrectly, looking for outlandish solutions to simple problems.

But if it IS too niche. Then I don’t see BHVR shaping up any time soon. They have a very different understanding of what the game actually is compared to the communities perception. The thing that caused other companies to fail is now what’s happening w DBD ALONG with the awful coding causing issues

I think these companies keep focusing on being better than BHVR, and following the same path. instead of making a name for themselves and doing what benefits the community. The reason DBD is what it is is because they early on listened to the community. They let their idea for the game change

I don’t think it’s exactly that. At DBDs peak they had 100K players. I think the problem is that the genre is really hard to make with replay-ability. The others have failed because people just got bored + expensive pricing.

DBD needs a competitor in the same way Marvel Rivals became a competitor for Overwatch. From what I’ve heard OW has gotten its shit together big time- likely because of the prospect of a competitor

The anime is okay. The manga is WAY better. There’s a reason I always post pics of the manga instead. The anime makes it feel like an action show with gore but it’s a psychological thriller/ tragedy with action. I will always recommend the manga over anime. But if you wanna watch the anime that’s ok
