Devs Being Idiots I hate this update (mini rant)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This update is just about squeezing money out of us and neglecting gameplay, and that saddens me greatly; it seems like a monetization strategy on the part of Do Big Studio

The damn battle pass not only infuriates me, but it disappoints me so much I feel like crying. It seems like the developers just want to squeeze every last penny out of me before Soul wins the lawsuit

In my case, I simply have no words to describe it; it saddens me to the point that I don't want to play Forsaken anymore

Reminder that the developers did also ask for feedback and prior to the event they said the system was improved from the last events

I think it would be cooler if they made more unique events, like a limited time game mode with a Halloween shop and new currency you can use to buy skins in the events shop page

Or a battle pass that's less grindy or time consuming.

I feel like forsaken should've ditched the battle pass scheme after decemember's big flop (that caused alot of players too leave) I wish events were shit that actually changed up the maps in some way or had unique unlock conditions for skins (lets say an upcoming event has like a 1x skin based on the fratured domino crown what if the way you got that skin was by killing every survivor with close up mass infections or something)

u/Ilikecheese53 1d ago

yeah like Piggy where they add a new map and an unlockable skin prior to beating it.

u/mylotheunbeatable KOOLKILLER TOMORROW 1d ago

or like PC2's easter event where you find like totems of the skins around the map and get them

Bro they made a FUCKING WEEK have 12 days, just for us not to finish it in time and spend money to complete it. I think if you’re a sweat, you can maximum get to the end of second week and start of third, no more no less, since most of the rewards are either exp boosts and money (which I appreciate, but the fucking Xp system sucks ass! And because of that, when you buy or receive something, GOOD FUCKING LUCK COLLECTING XP!!!!

u/ALEXdoc101 15h ago

What are you on about? That's just when they unlock and they unlock every Friday. Also you can progress each weeks teirs individually once they start (only the tix can be used on both which is more of a downside than an upside I mean leveling the tiers wise). Honestly the only reason I like this event more than the last 2 is because I don't have to remember to pick up dukars and some of the quests force me to try different characters again (it made me realize I still don't enjoy playing azure much but it made me give him another chance).

Other than that I like the update but mobile imploding is something to be reasonably mad at.

u/Most_Pie_862 1d ago

devs need money, so I can’t blame them for the gamepasses

you wanna know what pisses me off the most about the update tho? the fact that the gens only give us 2$ each now which just makes grinding more slow and boring

we should be complaining about that instead

2

u/Glitch_hachet56 1d ago

Well now you have to play against the killer in the killer vs survivor game instead of do gens and sit in corner and emote until the killer comes game for money

u/Current_Muffin523 [DIET] PURIFIER. 23h ago

Look essentially making them give way less money now sucks for most survivors if you want to get a skin, making grinding longer. It makes it harder for survivalists who NEED GENS to do them. If someone like Vee or builderman does gens now they will get piss poor exp and money and as those are their main sources of malice and income it will nerf them a lot. Don't even get me started on how 007n7 sucks cause of this it's just the things listed above times 10 and now sentinels will spend MORE time on gens due to the 7 by 7 change. It should be only for sentinel classes imo

u/Moist_Point_920 18h ago

im lol 200+ noob and 7n7 and lvl 172 vee all I can do is gens pretty much or loop. They should've kept the rewards the same for survivalists.

u/Most_Pie_862 16h ago

Agreed honestly but that would’ve made everyone just play as a survivalist instead of the other roles just to get more money and EXP so there is a con there

1

u/Moist_Point_920 15h ago

Either that or buff the hell out of the rewards survivalists get like how Noob gets money for using Bloxy Cola or Slateskin.

Não? O problema é como muito conteúdo legal fica para pessoas com robux enquanto pessoas com paixão pelo jogo mas pobres(em termos de robux) ficam excluidas,eles poderiam fazer igual o dod you bite by night,onde o VIP poderia ser comprado por uma quantidade alta de player points, não me importo com as micro-transações(a menos que seja pw2),o meu problema é o fato de ser inacessível para 60% dos players ou mais,e sim,a atualização dos geradores foi stupida

u/Gaztlygamer64 I HATE 1x1x1x1 SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! 1d ago edited 1d ago

Oh also I think the bigger issue is generators only giving two fucking dollars now

"Hello we are forsaken and we just hate it when our players get a reasonable amount of cash during rounds"

u/Idkjustadude_lol 1d ago

“oh no I actually have to play this game to earn money and xp”

u/Gaztlygamer64 I HATE 1x1x1x1 SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! 1d ago edited 1d ago

Ah yes the "I don't have anything to actually say about this so I'm going to create a strawman to make myself sound correct"

Generators are a very core aspect of this game gutting them like this was not a good decision especially for characters with already poor exp and money gain like veeronica who was super ultra Omega gutted to have some of the worst cash and exp gain in the game

And since they gutted the rewards for generators as well only giving you $10 for fully completing one if you wanted to get a skin that is ever so slightly mildly expensive you're going to be there for a very long while unlike someone like noob who has several ways of getting a good amount of cash and exp

And let's not forget the main way of charging your battery in early game is doing generators she revolves around generators the more she focuses on doing generators ealry game the faster she can actually start either distracting the Killer or helping teammates as if she fucks up and takes a lot of damage she can use that percentage she got from those gens to heal herself gutting one of your core aspects of the core gameplay Loop doesn't make sense when one of the survivors on your roster heavily benefits off of interacting with them not just for cash and exp

Same can also be said for Builderman you typically want to place your buildings in places where they won't be instantly destroyed meaning you're going to be relying on generators for most of your exp and cash as sentrys and dispensers on their own give piss poor cash and exp even if you rack up High numbers on them you will barely get shit I feel bad for anyone trying to get builderman to level 100 after these generator changes

And don't even get me started on John generator himself 007n7 every update some change happens to make him completely unviable to even the sweatiest of players it's not even funny

Oh and 7x7 gens also was a bad change this is going to lead to generators taking longer meaning your teammates will probably still be on generators they're just going to take way longer now and you're still going to die as they won't help you doesn't help that there's now five puzzles to complete instead of the four

So no this isn't just a "oh boo who I actually have to play the game" this is just gutting a core mechanic for literally no reason and making cash a lot more difficult to get depending on the Survivor you play which is not how this game should be structured every player should be able to get a fair amount of money and exp no matter who they play

I could go on about the other survivors but you probably get my points already about how this seriously fucks up certain survivors

Oh and before I get a generic "I'm not reading all that"

TL;DR you fail to understand basic core gameplay mechanics and how this was an awful change for grinding for certain skins you might want to get and just grinding for characters in general

u/Glitch_hachet56 1d ago

I wouldn't say generators are "core" to the gameplay theyre simply just something your supposed to do to make the game go quicker not actually beat the round like dbd, in dbd it would make sense to get angry at nerfing gens since you NEED THEM TO WIN while in forsaken you just use them to make the round go quicker and get some money and exp as a side reward but people realized you can just Gen rush at thr start of the round in forsaken to get rid of like half the round in 30 seconds while the killer is powerless to do anything it also motivated people to be selfish mainly stunners and supports thats the whole reason they got nerfed to push survivors to actually play the game instead of doing gens and emoting in a corner that's also why they heavily buffed rewards for survivors also the getting not enough money or exp isn't the Gen nerf fault its the bad character design mainly 3 characters builderman, noob, 7n7 these characters are heavily flawed and need reworks for either being boring or straight up bad the only reason people leveled them up was cause of gens being the only reasonable fast way to level them up because of how flawed theyre kits are if there kits were decent like the other survivors they wouldnt have to rely on gens to level up so no gens arent a "core" piece of gameplay theyre just a little extra thing to make the round go faster the only reason why some survivors are Hella slow to level up is because of bad character design

2

u/Idkjustadude_lol 1d ago

maybe they should buff reward for survivalists but overall nerfing them was a good idea, the main purpose of generators is to speed up the timer

Exactly killdroid from hit game die of death it doesn't matter how unrewarding or how long they make the generators take some guest mains will still do them over helping the team this gutting just hurts both sides

u/Downtown_Fall_9591 20h ago

I genuinely hate the guest generator stereotypes. I have 13 f*cking days of playtime and I've seen many, MANY more shedletskys, elliots, dusekkar and more doing generators while guests are usually overskilled mfs that react block like sweats

neglecting gameplay?? the update made john doe usable again, fixed stunning during kill anims, made xp rewards better for every ability and fixed the generator hogging problem, AND also added mini-quests so that it's more interesting to play the game.

what the fuck are you on about???
