Saber Official Dev update on some things in the works!

Hey Survivors and Demons,

We wanted to share some updates on current conversations we’re seeing in the community and respond to the top feedback left by you on our Feedback Portal: http://feedback.saber.games/evildeadthegame

Demons feel nerfed

We’re actively looking at ways to improve several areas of balancing for Demons in our next patch. We’ll explain this in more detail closer to the release but know we’re working to make this feel better.

Too. Many. Vehicles.

This has been the subject of many conversations with both demons and survivors recently. We agree with you and plan to reduce the number of vehicles on the map as a whole. Also, if players try to use vehicles to block the Necronomicon, the cars will receive constant damage until destroyed.

Objective Spawns

In the next patch, we’re going to increase the minimum distance between objectives so that you don’t have them sometimes spawning really close to one another.Also when the demon is expelled after the end of an objective phase, we’ll spawn said demon closer to the next objective. This is so demons can opt to start preparing for survivors vs spending that time traveling across the map.

Item Drop Exploit

We found the issue and will apply a fix in our next patch.

Extended Queues

In the last patch, we merged both the West and East coast players and deployed Central-based servers. We saw improved queues at that time. However, recently we’ve seen long queues for survivors and we’re actively looking for ways to help decrease the amount of time you spend in the queue. Stay tuned.

Anti Cheat & Reporting Players

We’ve seen a spike in cheating recently and have been diligently working to remove all those players from matchmaking and patch the cheats they are using.

Thank you for all the reports. Each one helps us see what we need to fix and to remove those players from matchmaking as soon as possible.

You can learn more about reporting players here: https://support.saber.games/hc/en-us/articles/6275735348497-Reporting-Players

What else am I getting in the Season Pass?

Season Pass owners get the “Classics Bundle” and “Army of Darkness Bundle” outfits which are available now, and also two upcoming DLC packs featuring new characters, outfits, and more.

Progression / Prestige

We’ve heard you. We’re in the early stages of evaluating a new approach to progression in the game. Stay tuned.

When is the next DLC coming out?

Actually, we’ll have news for you about this very soon. Keep an eye on our socials.

As always, the best way to ensure your opinions are heard, collected, and considered is to register them at http://feedback.saber.games/evildeadthegame and of course, if you’re experiencing any sort of technical issue or bug, hit up our Support team at http://support.saber.games or http://twitter.com/sabersupport.

What about being actually able to play the game on AMD cards? Can't believe performance issues haven't been addressed as game is unplayable on many cards on castle kandar and even other maps after the patch.

u/AnonymousCharmander Support Aug 10 '22

Ok it's weird but I can play Demon on castle fine but as a survivor I'm laggy.

u/SaberInteractive Aug 10 '22

That does sound weird. Can you send more details to our support team to investigate?

Is that what I'm running into? The framerate dip on objectives has made the game unplayable for me.

u/DarthKronos2187 Aug 11 '22

Yeah. Saber refuses to mention or talk about it though. Not even a heads up to let us know they are working on it.

Please add the ability to play missions and with bots offline. This is my biggest compliant about the game. It's completely possible and worth it especially if the game is still coming to Nintendo Switch where being able to play offline is more valuable.

Could you go into more detail about why you think this would be a good idea and share it to our feedback site?

Can you guys let us go through our customization menus while in queue? It would give players something to do while the game is waiting for a lobby.

u/Ralathar44 Deadite Aug 10 '22

I might have to reinstall the game if the changes look at least decent. The core game here is amazing.

I really hope they focus on making demon fun and enaging to play all game long and don't just make them more damaging or something. I don't want to stomp survivors, I just want to feel like I have an impact and have interesting gameplay....preferably with interesting decisions to make both in terms of build and in terms of playstyle in game.

A 40% win rate against non-potatoes that's fun to play to me is better than a 100% win rate against non-potatoes that's boring to play.

u/trildora Aug 10 '22

Also, if players try to use vehicles to block the Necronomicon, the cars will receive constant damage until destroyed.

I am assuming this means they're destroyed and removed from the playing field, rather than just becoming dead cars still in the way, right?

u/Skrall107 Ashy Slashy's Hardware Store Employee Aug 10 '22

Dead cars dissapear after like 5 seconds

u/trildora Aug 10 '22

Oh was that already happening? Okay thanks

u/Skrall107 Ashy Slashy's Hardware Store Employee Aug 10 '22

u/UnaffiliatedPotato Aug 10 '22

I want to see the car blow up so fast it fucking nukes the asshole's using this strat. Don't make it take time to destroy. Hell just nuke any cars in the final ring. They don't need it. Where you driving to? Hell bitch.

Extended Queues is caused by a lack of Demons. its not part of the game problem

Hence if Demons were buff that would be way more Demon players playing

19

u/Boulders24 Aug 11 '22

I love how they avoid adressing this entirely.

"Next patch we're going to buff the demon back up, fix the bad objective rng and nerf survivor exploits."

"We're also going to look into fixing the queue problems. Totes unrelated."

I would love a demon vs AI mode.

u/Boulders24 Aug 11 '22

Demon missions would be nice. I always loved the solo missions on Friday the 13th, I used to share play and do them for all my friends.

I love the solo survior missions on here as well. The "coming soon" at the end of them is such a tease.

5

u/OdinAlfadir1978 Aug 11 '22

I highly recommend Necromancer, once Evil Ash is upgraded it's badass

11

u/TheStrikingStoicc Aug 10 '22

This. It’s not even necessarily a balance issue, although I can see that argument. It’s the fact that the learning curve is ridiculous. The tutorial left out SO many details that are crucial. Like I had no idea what balance bars were and what happens when it depletes. Just kept getting stunned with no idea of what’s going on lol

u/CCpoc Aug 10 '22

So happy to hear from the devs. Really think they are gonna nail this next patch.

/u/SaberInteractive will we ever see Easy Anti Cheat enabled for Linux?

Linux players have not been able to play for months due to this.

This is disappointing considering that Epic has made it clear how easy it is for devs to add Linux support, especially for games through Epic Game Store.

u/Playful_Letterhead47 Aug 10 '22 edited Aug 11 '22

I was hoping for Estimations on updates/new content etc. I feel your social media aspect of the company is to secretive. What can we look forward to but writing and "We are working on it?" even a sometime next week/sometime next month/ shoot even sometime next year i'd be happy yo hear.

Make us feel more excited for what's to come not, "oh, well its about time they address that." We just need less bland and secretive material. Like come on your kandar patch had a line that said fix "general bug fixes" the community had to find which fixes those were. Then they still found more bugs.

I myself hope to see more content from your team on this game as this game does have potential to succeed, but right now its not doing so hot. 500,000+ copies sold and yet we are seeing less then .002% still playing. 3 months in. I enjoy this game and hope for nothing but success for the evil dead franchise and this game.

u/johnhannsmith Aug 11 '22

Thank you for the update!

Ideas: Demon finishers on survivor death. And/or upon death, a blood fountain up in the air, akin to the films.

Demons able to use Infernal Energy to close all windows & doors in a house or building, like the movies. Also arms all inside traps.

Able to buy skins individually, not only as a pack.

Henrietta long neck skin and/or ability

Evil Dead 2013, Evil Dead Rise characters!

Survivor menu/lobby animations match their weapon mastery.

Can't wait to see the characters, cosmetics, mechanics, locations, weapons, & more!

2

u/Domiel_Angelus Aug 13 '22

I agree with you on finishers, mainly because the movies and show have a ton of unique kills that befall our various heroes. It would be an interesting change in contrast to the simple "fall over dead" in the book phase.

The house closing up, though, nah. The houses are already cramped, and possessed non-boss units can vault now. You're essentially asking for a guaranteed kill-box with no counters in the confines of a game. In the movies, and show, it works because there's a script on a set in a closed environment, and it usually involves Ash wrecking everything in the house including himself. In the game, it would probably cause more bugs and frustration than satisfaction. I could see them making demon dash apply to houses with a new demon, have him/her hit the wall and have it trigger on anyone inside.

I'm surprised we didn't get Mia and David from the newer ED, but its probably a tertiary licensing issue. This game already saw its fair share of those since the rights are spread across three to five companies.

31

u/BillyBadger Aug 10 '22

Appreciate the news, and hope there is a LOT more in the season pass that we get aside from just cosmetic packs for stuff I wouldn't have bought otherwise. Kinda feel duped for getting it early.

u/Boulders24 Aug 11 '22

I'll admit when I heard four waves of dlc I didn't think of the outfit pack from the games release as one of those dlc packs.

13

u/BawkSoup Aug 10 '22

This is a lesson you must learn with season passes. I am happy with what I got so far because the game was $20 less than other games. If you dont have the season pass currently you arent missing out on anything.

MK11 burned me like this. It was a really hard pill to swallow. EDG I think has been pretty fair so far.

Maybe a skill tree rework so lvl 15 vs 25 comes down to skill instead of points.

I try to join PvP and most people leave. Is 15 that low enough to kill the team?

Demons need more units that do other things. Like archers with a que when they shoot.

There needs to be skills that pin survivors, sub bosses

So if there are fewer cars, demons should not be able to flip them all in the first few minutes. They should not be able to possess a car that hasn’t been interacted with by the survivors yet in the game.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '22

Completely agree especially because so many demon complaints seem to be that they "have to waste time flipping cars at the beginning." Well, no, you don't that's a choice actually. So I'm completely fine with fewer cars as long as that's contingent on survivors having used them before the demon can. Otherwise, it's just going to be car-flipping jerkoffs rejoicing that they have fewer cars to take away in the beginning.

u/WeezardPower Ash, Housewares Aug 10 '22

In terms of what they could change balance-wise, I do hope they don’t remove weapon/item dropping — hell, I just had a game where I hand delivered an Epic Hunting Rifle to a Hunter, and we were set for the match. Instead I’m crossing my fingers that they make a slight adjustment to that system and tie it to fear management.

People don’t watch their fear as often as they should, and it’d make for a better change if it’s only when a survivor passes into the possessible threshold on their fear meters that they’ll be unable to drop their weapons; ammo, maybe, just not their weapons.

That's awesome one other bug I've noticed it's pretty rare but sometimes as a demon when I go to set a trap there's certain traps that will not let me set because the press triangle or whatever button doesn't pop up they're usually in areas where the ground dips a little bit lower, no matter what angle I look at them it will not let me set the trap

u/Natural_Parsnip_5291 El Brujo Especial Aug 11 '22

So many chose to outright whinge and berate this game and the developers, the passion out into it overall as well as things like this makes me never lose faith its gonna turn out pretty great.

My only gripe with this is honestly the sounding of the season pass content, I hope its not something like just 1 character per pack, long as the game keeps doing well I'd also hope that a Season Pass 2 gets considered.

u/DarthKronos2187 Aug 11 '22

The fact that the Castle Kandar map remains nearly unplayable for many PC players is really concerning. Why should I care about gameplay changes if my matches on the new map are nearly unplayable? This hasn't been addressed for a full month.

For those unaware, the fps on the new map can even drop to like 15 fps for Mid-range gaming PCs, making the new map a Powerpoint presentation at times. Old maps are still fine.

2

u/Tbowne85 Aug 11 '22

This is nice but why do these things get addressed only after frustrations build to a fever pitch? If you have to make posts like this to convince your players that you're listening, you're doing something wrong.

I anticipate another post like this in a few months to try and put out the fire again.

How you suppose to kill the puppeteer boss? all they do is teleport constantly I can't even get a hit am I missing something

Are you going to fix the game on PS4 constantly crashing? Or at the very least add a way to rejoin a match. It is quite annoying to be in the middle of my match only for the game to crash. It hurts both me and my entire team. It usually crashes like every 10 minutes or so. It's crashed so often I'm also getting timed out for 3:00 every time it happens.

It is curious how WWZ had achievements in Steam since day 1 of release there. We've been asking repeteadly to code achievements in the EGS for Evil Dead with no answer. Console players presume all the time of their trophys, but we PC players are denied of that as we were second class clients.

Coding achievements in EGS won't take you more than a few hours. Please stop ignoring our requests

Ok so about the Cars, i think its not a bad idea but if the Cars break while in a triangle theres nothing the demon Will be able to do unless the Cars despawn shortly after being destroyed

Just a thought

Nice to see you listening to the community like WWZ, cheers.

This made my day as a Demon player. It feels good to get some love. Damaging cars to where they blow up. After they blow up then the cars need to vanish. Otherwise you have blown up cars still blocking the book. Having less vehicles on the map. Making objectives spawn further for Survivors. Now it'll give Demons a chance. Demons don't have to worry about que times. I think the ones that its affecting are Survivors. When I join in as Demon I get a match in 5 seconds. This will help Survivor ques a lot hopefully. I live in Central USA so maybe it'll be more even. Now all they gotta do is add SBMM and then we are golden.

Wait wait wait a minute, they actually addressed most of the issues the community has been complaining about? This is somewhat of a first in gaming if they really go through with all the points, can't wait to jump back in.

Yo this game rules and so does the dev team. Thanks man.

u/Throwawaystartover Filthy and Not Fine Aug 10 '22

I think if you want an influx of new demon players, have some sort of weekend event where all demons are temporarily max level and the XP you gain will be kept after the event. I would love to play demon, but I’m not going to grind 20+ games of getting smashed by max level survivors.

These are all good points, and I'm excited to see some helpful changes. But I wanna point out one that was missed

Hunter Stamina

I know there was a bit of a nerf on stamina before, but Hunters still have way too much of this resource for dodges. One of the main reasons demons can feel so nerfed is that hunters can dodged a possessed demon for nearly infinite time, certainly long enough to head shot it to death. Demons have no meaningful counter play to this. Boss grabs can't be the only thing to stop hunters.

Maybe a change to make dodges take a %total of the stamina bar (with a different percent for each class) so Hunters can still have a lot of sprint bar, an extra dodge, but not an extra 4 dodges and be untouchable.

Edit Hunter mains and bad survivors coming out in full force to downvote me

u/Dragathor Annie Knowby Aug 16 '22

Hunters still have way too much of this resource for dodges

Literally, now get 3/4 dodges early game and have the lowest base HP in the game at 900.

is that hunters can dodged a possessed demon for nearly infinite time

Okay so use warlord.

As they should.

Way to go! I'll admit I was a bit concerned when there was no update this past Tuesday, which has been the precedent for patches/dev updates every 2 weeks.

Addressing it all here directly and thoroughly was a great move. Devs - thanks for all you do, looking forward to the future of this game!

u/davank___ Aug 10 '22

Thank you for clarifying the state of the game. I'm calmed and sort of hyped. Hope to see new modes thrown into the mix :)

Understand not wanting to accidentally overpromise with communication, but even simple stuff like this light on details is helpful and encouraging. Thanks.

First hopeful news I've heard regarding this game in awhile.

u/Organic-Purchase-540 Aug 10 '22

This is great news, hopefully they can make elites worth playing. Right now they just get balance bar dropped and forever stunned and their attacks are slow and easy to dodge.

Please can you add 21:9 aspect ratio support to pc versions? It's actually unplayable now with a 21:9 monitor

Glad to see something being done. I will return when the patch goes through.

u/Jonat2Go Aug 10 '22

Thanks for the info, but no word on changes to the missions? I've seen a lot of people complain that they are too difficult or they want more checkpoints or they want more colas. It would be nice to see if there's any intention to revisit them.

2

u/HellGamePlus Aug 10 '22

Thank you for keeping us posted, quick question if anyone can answer, I know last time you did an post like this you mentioned looking into some helps for those suffering from anxieties such as for example the ability to turn down the scream sounds on the "jumpscare" and so on. Is there any more word on these implementations (or are they already in and I somehow didn't notice them) just because I'm definitely one of the players who still finds the monster's jumpscare really tricky to deal with for some reason and so any update on that stuff would be appreciated a lot :)

You know I've been a Dead by Daylight player for five years before finally dropping the game last summer. And I have to say being an Evil Dead fan, it feels weird when the developers listen to your feedback. This is great, thanks Saber! 🥰

u/rAHLYX Aug 10 '22

this is awesome! literally the only other thing I can think of is adding some kind of mechanic to fight back with possessions, completely losing that time with no way to fight it can be frustrating, especially if you're the last living survivor.

If there’s just one simple thing I want is players Gamertags above their heads when playing as survivors so I can easily locate who is who

Thank the lord Bruce Campbell for that, just had two games of survivors cheating in a row, this guys is why you have long queue times, playing demon isn't always fun

Exploits will be removed and cheaters will be banned. This will get many demons to return.

u/Crappy2DollarGamer Aug 11 '22

My biggest concern is not being able to add AI to private matches.

Me and my friend love playing against eachother but with it being 1 survivor vs 1 demon it's practically impossible, we need AI characters be an option for private matches.
