I wonder if that's related to yellow glyphs being way easier than I remember. Doing them this week, I only had to hit like four checks, previously I remembered it being like eight and I'd always mess it up
Base healing returning to 16
Medkit altruistic healing being buffed.
Medkit self-healing nerfed (takes 24 seconds)
All medkits stay at 24 charges (ie 1.5 heals)
Billy nerfs reverted
Dead Hard changed to activate when YOU are unhooked
Pain Res regression massively buffed (25% regression from 15%), but still only once per unique survivor
CoH healing bonus doubled (still no self-healing)
One of the newish absolutely garbage maze tiles (seen commonly in Garden of Joy, but apparently also on Wreckers Yard recently?) is getting adjusted to be safer.
Decent changes, I guess. At least not as horrific as the first go round. Dead Hard still doesn't need to be nerfed into the ground like this, and that still promotes tunnelling straight off the hook because it doesn't work with OTR or base BT, but I suppose that's more of "rewards camping".
The notes mention that medkits get an efficiency penalty for self heals, so they're now all one heal for self, 1.5 heals for altruism, which seems reasonable.
This version of Dead Hard is way better than the PTB. It's now kind of an anti tunneling perk. It still works great when the killer waits out your base kit BT and then you hit them with the Dead Hard, or if the killer isn't tunneling straight off hook or you manage to get away, it doesn't get turned off by touching a generator the way Off the Record does.
Circle of Healing now does +100% heal speed (but only for altruism) which seems reasonable
Fixing that absolute useless maze tile is a nice change
If you have Prime Gaming (or can bum a code off someone who does), the entire next Premium rift track starting on Wednesday is the reward for May. Which includes the usual 1k Auric Cells refunding it. Meaning that instead of a recolor for one skin, or that month they gave a paltry amount of BP, it's enough for two licensed characters. Four if you're patient enough to wait for the inevitable Anniversary time sale.
E:
Also, if you buy Meet Your Maker, the Wraith weapon you get is comically gigantic and literally covers up your entire screen every time you get a hit.
yeah If you play DBD enough to get far in the rift this is legit probably the best amazon prime reward period. I might actually try to play more this month and finish the rift. Which would be the second time I ever finished (and bought) a rift since I started playing.
Aside from the dev update stuff (medkit nerfs, infinite gen-stall nerfed, DH/CoH/CoB/Overcharge gutted), the early tome challenges were made easier. Medkit add-ons still super bad except for the couple broken ones.
E:
Oh, apparently if you play on Steam, they completely fucked up your configurations. Because no patch can exist without fucking SOMETHING completely up.
2 - Write %localappdata% in the text box and enter
3 - Go to Dead By Daylight > Saved > Config > WindowsNoEditor
4 - Copy the Engine.ini file (and GameUsersSettings.ini if you wish to get all your normal settings back)
5 - Go back 1 folder and paste the files you just copied into the WindowsClient folder
6 - Done
Also, looking at the bug report forum, PTB Legion and Pig were super fucking bugged on the PTB and... they're still super bugged. Legion's animations are fucked up, but especially the Frenzy cancel. It's sped up but the actual cooldown is correct, so it just looks super weird. Pig, however, her ambush is laggy, her weapon drifts around the screen when you strafe, Combat Straps are slowing crouch instead of speeding it up, and she now somehow has the Nurse fatigue effect when she wipes her weapon (screen gets forcibly pulled down to look at the ground).
I have to imagine that Merciless Storm probably erases your HD at this point.
I used to play this religiously but these days I get more enjoyment from periodically watching a streamer play.
The gameplay loop has gotten really stale for me. They need to do more than add new variations of the same content. I’m personally looking forward to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game and hoping that gives a little more in terms of variety content.
Evil Dead has arrived on Steam as of 4/26 and it's as mixed as ever.
It did add Baal, Ash's dad and some outfits plus some bug and balance fixes and new solo mission.
However that's the end of planned content so it may or may not be on life support. I imagine it'll limp along till another asym comes in but a damn shame.

Plus the game works like shit; we've tried to play it repeatedly and can never actually group up or see each other online
We tried the Dead By Daylight boardgame last night and it was pretty great!
I played the Nurse and and for some dang ol reason always sacrificed the same damn Survivor the whole game so I never got and bonus sacrifice tokens. They ended up winning with me only halfway on the Sacrifice track. The Nurse REALLY gets around tho; pallets and redirections are no real trouble for her scream teleport.
A few seconds after a guard starts chasing somebody (length varies by guard), they drop a banner and it makes the horn sound. If the survivor being chased touches the banner, the guard despawns and the survivor gets a short haste and endurance. It's supposed to incentivize picking up the banner, but it's rare that's an actual option because you've usually also got the knight himself chasing you.
hey @Karoz exactly where do i go in Evil Dead to get the AI mode that actually gives you XP? I asked the devs back when it came out and they said there was no way to get XP other than to play the full online mode
Apparenty Last Year is back on Steam after its drama and is now Free To Play, which seems like a bad idea, but it's also had a big update, and since DBD's last couple chapters have been... not ideal, it is another asym horror thing, but from what I recall, it's not that good. Maybe that's changed?
Road map a little interesting for the kind of weird breaks of survivor/killer schedule. I really hope the anti-camping mechanics or whatever actually kill it entirely. It'd help with tunnelling too, but the last time they did a big 'anti-camp' thing, most of what they did was obliterate the anti-tunnelling perks, making camping itself even stronger. I also don't entirely trust map rebalancing thoughts. There are issues, sure, but I feel like every opinion I see on it is completely fucking wrong, and since most of that is driven by killer-main streamers, it's EXTREMELY slanted towards "make everything better for killers PLSIGNORETHE60%+KILLRATEKILLERSARETHEREALVICTIMS. Maps SHOULD be strong for survivors at the start. If anything, I'd say they need to be more like places like Gideon, with just a metric shitload of pallets, but half of them absolutely garbage. If you're going to bring maps like Cowshed into line, you really need to address the absolute murder holes like Midwich and Dead Dawg just as much.
The rest is all the same shit they promise every single anniversary. Totally gonna fix the meta. Totally gonna deal with toxic players and be more responsive to reports. They have been somewhat better about perks for the last year, but removing griefing assholes? Give me a break. There are still Fog Whisperers who are miserable incessantly griefing shitbags.
Also, Twisted Masquerade is apparently the event itself, so more masks for the original survivors/killers.
E:
More dubious, but from the same leaker, apparently an Iron Maiden and Slipknot collab coming, though unclear what exactly, as well as cosmetics for Naughty Bear (old BHVR horror game, basically just a large murder teddy bear), and other cosmetics designed by Ikumi Nakamura (lead designer for Evil Within), and a DBD spinoff being developed by Supermassive (The Quarry, Until Dawn).
In true BHVR fashion, they fucked up in the in-game announcement ("Join us at [insert URL] at [insert time]!", and on Twitter, said it starts at 1 EST... whereupon it begins with a 30 minute countdown to the actual start.
Though I'd be surprised if there's anything we've not already seen from leaks. Maybe some specifics or more precise times on stuff like anti-camping though? Doubt it.
E:
Codes: DBD7 (for BP), trapper7 (for a charm)
Next two killers after Singularity are confirmed as major licenses.
More (smaller) events throughout year (summer BBQ event basically all but stated as returning)
Singularity's power seems to be that it can set up 'turrets' that it then 'enters' to shoot at survivors. Once a survivor is hit, it can teleport near them like... Hag seems like? Very fast teleport. Uggggh. Another zone control killer. Hopefully it's basically just one shot per set-up turret, so kind of like a trappy Pinhead, but just the intel is enough to make it similar to Skull Merchant.
Coldwind Farms first up for getting 'rebalanced' within a couple months.
Anti-facecamping mechanic is that hooked survivor will be able to unhook themself if a killer is too close to the hook for too long, even if second stage. It's a meter that fills. Closer to the hook, faster it fills. When all gens are done, it turns off. When another survivor is near to the hook, the time required greatly increases. Not awful, but does nothing for tunnelling, which goes hand in hand with this. Not coming soon though. Will go to a future PTB before it's released. So not for probably 4-6 months at least.
Perk search bar coming with this update.
DC survivor bots coming summer, but ugggghhhh. This is such a bad idea.
Player cards are a new flavor of meta-cosmetic (eg background/banner/icon on your name). Coming fall.
DBD comic series in June (Legion origin story).
Spinoff games exist, but very little said about them.
Iron Maiden collab will have music. Slipknot collab seems to be entirely masks for killers.
Twisted Masquerade is expanded and stuff you collect/get you can use for in-game advantages (block vaults or spawn pallets... OOF), or use for cosmetics.
New challenges in tomes starting with Twisted Masquerade event tome for "Random perk loadout".
DC survivor bots coming summer, but ugggghhhh. This is such a bad idea.
It is quite literally better than the nothing that is currently in the game. A survivor dcing just ruins the match entirely for everyone. At least if its a bot replacement there's A CHANCE to still play the game. And hey, The bots are not that much worse than your average solo queue player.

I think that's a fake account. There's a gambling site link in the sig
Also oh god. this was at the start of Knight's reign of 3 gen terror huh.
It's not nothing but it sure seems next to nothing.
Sales on some stuff and a solid chunk of BP/Shards eventually. Supposedly some codes at some point too.
yeah but where is it? i can't find anything that gives me XP
My bad, took a screenshot. Might be huge.
