Patch notes.
Datamine of upcoming cosmetics:
New Freddy looks fun as hell to play as, except snares are useless, no way will anyone fall for them when they are giant red billboards saying,"Stand here for free money!" No one is going to fall for that.
Pallets should be default and snares tossed in the trash. 15% slow down is nothing.

weird question: if you can climb up a rock with both survivor and killer, it's not a problem, right?
Jesus this game is dreadful in the higher ranks. I've had the game since launch, and while I adore this game, I never put a ton of time into it each month, so my rank has always hovered around 15 or so. Well I've played a good amount since the last double XP event, and now that I'm at rank 7 survivor, the game has taken a huge dive for me. For some reason other survivors seem to play worse now, from running at the killers head on to not touching gens, to the disconnections, it's frustrating. I'm also seeing a smaller pool of killers, mostly Spirit and Ghostface, and a lot of them run ebony mori. Considering how long it takes to get into a game, these shorter games means I'm spending more time searching for matches and earning less and less bloodpoints.
It really sucks when your favorite MP game of the generation makes you want to put it down for a couple months so you can derank and go back to seeing normal survivors and a larger variety of killers.

Purple ranks are still fun IMO. It's the best place to be in for both survivor and killer since there is a mix play styles and variety. I play solo survivor so you're always going to have survivors that are either good or completely useless. It's the luck of the draw. Playing in those ranks does mean that there is less killer variety especially at red ranks, which sucks but you also have to see it from the killer's perspective in the sense that at those ranks, it's a lot harder for them to use other killers that are not Billy, Spirit, or Nurse. I think you're just having a bad streak of games which happens. It happens to me, but you just move on to the next game.
I do agree about matchmaking and the disconnects from both survivors and killers. They are starting to do something about DC's until dedicated servers are out, so that's a good step. Matchmaking though is a different story because it does take forever to find a match as a survivor. Especially on PS4. it was blazing fast during the BP event, but now that it's over and the hype for Ghostface has settled down, we are back to long wait times. :/
Im rank 6 survivor on PS4 and the wait times are around 2 minutes, but i get a lot of DCs pre match so sometimes it takes 2-3 lobbys to actually play a match...
Yeah I play on PS4 as well, and the matchingmaking during the BP event spoiled me....
You are right though. I think I'm just frustrated at a couple of days of horrible luck. And I get it about players only using those killers at the red ranks. I've read on various forums about killers like Clown and Trapper getting smashed due to the inability to be unpredictable. At the end of the day though I like to see a wide assortment of killers, which I guess is kind of unfair to ask in the purple and red ranks.
As much as I want to put the game down, I think I might try playing killer more as I'm only rank 19 there. Wouldn't hurt to experience more of that side of the game. It's just so damn stressful! My heart races more as a killer than a survivor.
I am so sick of prayer beads spirits. That add on needs to get a complete rework.
Edit: gotta love rank reset. Prayer beads, and mori every single match.

They're having some kind of issue with the L4D content on PS4, so that along with the 4 new languages won't be coming in tomorrow's update for DbD. We're still getting the patch and reworked Freddy, but no L4D or 4 new languages. Supposedly they're working on it ASAP.
So now it means his 4 perks are going to get his artwork. I doubt they would all of sudden lock them behind his character.
You can keep the perks if you already have it on your characters but they'll become teachables for new characters
It's Bill and the L4D cosmetics for Dwight, Meg, Jake, and Claudette.

It sometimes doesn't work properly. No animation or dash, when triggered. Only saw it once during a stream. Didn't had an issue, when I played with it today. Most have some conditions, when it happens. Hopefully devs find the cause soon and fix it.
BHVR confirmed they will not be doing a summer event this year because they're focusing on dedicated servers, the upcoming archives, and fixes. Bummer.
They should remove/rework hex ruin and introduce more shit to do as a survivor to slow down gen speeds. Gens go fast on higher ranks even with ruin and its boring to do ruin skillchecks every game. Also when you are the killer and your ruin totem pops off in the 1st min...oof. Some of the totem placements are so stupid in this game.
I'm not sure if it's the same problem but lower tier versions of BBQ give you reduced stacks. I think in prior versions, you could always get 4 stacks and it just changed the distance from the hook that you can see survivors. Now Tier 1 BBQ only lets you get 2 stacks and tier 3 lets you get 4 stacks. Not sure if that's what you guys are talking about or not. I only started playing again last week after having taken a break back before the Plague came out.
Oh i just saw this. Nice.
Why are killers leaving the lobby all the time? It takes ~5 mins to find a match at rank 4 and got 2 lobby DC in a row. So annoying
