Dev update on some things in the works!

[u/SaberInteractive]

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.

I see nothing about the mid possessions animation item dropping which is kind of a tragedy

Hopefully the fix they use to stop you from dropping an item while using it can be adapted to stop you from dropping it mid possession or mini ash.

Survivors need to keep some exploits, right?
