BHVR... say sike right now... | Dead by Daylight

When he said 2019 and then followed it up with its been 5 years, i was bamboozled

WHYYYYY!!??! why did they make it any stun?!?!, I'm new to dbd (726 hours) and i really love this killer she's so fun and kinda challenging to master IMO and now they will nerf her even more!, this is so sad 😭😭

If they didn’t announce it they might have just standardised the stun effect and not think about the fact plague. Commented this at the start of the video didn’t know that he would cover it not being a bug

aka the FUCK new players change

DBD Community when BHVR makes a weird, unwanted, unnecessary, negative change: WTF these devs are so incompetent and out of touch. This game sucks.
DBD Community when BHVR makes a good decision: Another W for Dead by Daylight, these devs know just what we want.
Time is a flat circle.

This reminds me of the change to the nurse, where she would get stunned by a dropped pallate mid teleport.

BHVR is such a mixed bag. You have a great art team, you have some great licenses with surprisingly faithful adaptations, and then you have some hate-filled sociopath in the balance team who's either so wildly inept they'll implement bugs and say nothing or so wildly spiteful of the playerbase that they'll make arbitrary, hidden changes and proceed to gaslight everyone about it. Either way, there's at least one person working at BHVR whom I wish would get fired.

It's weird that this would be the case but stunning Oni doesn't get rid of his power

Unrelated but Otz kept trying to hide from Flashlight saves but none of the survivors brought flaslights...
Happens to me too ngl

I honestly don't believe it's a five year long bug but an intended change that they just don't want to admit is a bad change.

am ı the only one who thınks plague was beautıful when she was young or normal

makes sense, after getting hit by ds you could just insta down again

You can also vomit on downed survivors, or survivors on the hook to begin their plauge progression. You can't make them red while on the ground or hook but you can give them a sliver of it

Then you have nurse who can carry you further and further away no matter how many times you wiggle out to use blood warden and get a lazy 4k

Im a software developer and 5 years to fix a bug that wasn't really causing any issues is totally normal. Its a question of priority. Everything they've done before fixing this "bug" was more important. They probably shouldn't have made the change at all at this point but its unlikely they are lying about it being a bug all this time.

nerf pig

With the release of chucky they also added that a head on atun can tak her power away. Remember when Jane and Plague came out in the same chapter and they made sure Jane's perk couldn't do it :) yeeeaaah

Its basically confirmed that this in fact was the intended design of the plague.

But Behavior devs did not play test her. They only came to know about this 5 year old mistake after interacting with their consultants.

When I'm in a ignoring my community challenge and my opponent is bhvr

I just sometimes think that bhvr wants us to play skull merchant, singularity and knight by doing that stupid things. I mean it's fine for killers, but might be very annoying for solos. Swf's are fine tho. Lmao, what a clown fiesta. I guess plague will be new pig. But it will probably nerf pig in other stupid way lmao.

Imagine playing a killer like The Plague (which while not bad, is far from the strongest killer) and that an ability that you have no way of knowing a survivor has until it directly affects you instantly takes away your power.
And of course meanwhile they continue to buff The Blight, because clearly the poor guy is very bad in the meta and no one plays him.

Picture yourself running head on and DS and instead of getting distance from the killer you just die because the killer has a huge almost impossible to miss AOE attack.
Yeah i can understand why they would give her this nerf.

Zanshin Tactics now good on plague for new players?

I think its a good change, and I think BHVR does want survivors to heal against her and we all know you shouldnt do that and just stay injured and they probably dont like that gameplay

So much for BHVR not wanting survivor perks to directly counter killer powers huh? :/

This sucks. I just started playing Plague

"Do you like the plague? I like the plague a lot!"
Medieval peasant: 👁👄👁

Dude, if your playerbase is reporting your shitty rework as a bug to the point where you have to tell them it's not, you know you screwed up bad.
Very dissapointed to see this from BHVR, but I guess it's nothing new.

I think its well ballanced as a dbd mobile player 🫡

as someone who absolutely HATES the plague and hates going against her. I always knew she is counterable (but i suck) this is just a bad change holy ☠

First Aatrox w and now plague power... im done

I hate plague, i think she is digusting and gameplay like that is repulsive and her plague mechanic should have been an iffection caused by something else other than fucking vomiting all over the place. Might as well make a killer who pulls down their pants and shits all over the surviors.

I agree, i think they should nerf the pig

Streamer is yapping very hard in this video.

I didnt even know they Shadow Nerfed Plague in this bizarre way... and I thought Skull Merchants upcoming nerf was... bad. This explains why Survivors were luring me to pallets when I was trying to get her adept achievement

I don't believe them. Typical BHVR move, making a big change without communicating it - then lying about it and pretending it was always intended to be like that.

Is that still true?

Personally I think it's fine. Helps survivors fight against plague better. If they don't cleanse they stay injured the whole game to allow easier chases for plague. If they cleanse you have a much easier time downing people and it doesn't stop when you pick survivors up.

Oni has to hit with a basic attack to get survivors injured to begin collecting blood orbs to get his power. Once he picks up a survivor during his rampage then his power turns off. In all honesty I think it's a change that can help survivors against plague. Plague can infect objects to help get her power, oni can only get his power by hitting survivors! Meaning if he is against a good survivor there is a chance he never gets his power all match against them, while plague has a free starter fountain for times where survivors don't cleanse or really get sick.

My assumption is something like 'when we were initially conceptualizing/designing the killer, they were supposed to lose their power on any stun to counterbalance the perceived power it had, but we ended up not going that route. now, all these years later, someone dug up the old design document and our own ongoing documentation and internal balance team communication is so bad they assumed the current situation was a bug and changed it'.

Did they fix this bugged update? Because if she has remained "bugged" for five years without even hinting that this was intended, I feel it's safe to say that she was NOT ever intended to be like this. They are just using that as a cover and excuse for a weird shadow nerf.

Personally, I quite like the idea of making the means of canceling Plague's power consistent.
Make it all stuns, and now there's no awkward guess-work for new players. Stun is stun is stun, all affect Plague the same.
That being said, I will agree it's an out-of-nowhere nerf to Plague's capabilities, and probably ought to have been better communicated, at the very least.

Nice, love it when BHVR lies through their teeth to bring out a change that is completely ridiculous.

They must really hate fun

Okay I am absolutely fine with this, but be consistent. Make Enduring affect EVERY stun as well. 50% for pallet stuns, 25% for other stuns.

Something similar happened in the game "Hunt: Showdown 1896". The devs recently changed the way how bullet penetration works and people were asking why change it now? Developers just responded that "this is how it was supposed to work from the beginning", which means it was bugged for 5 years.

If i worked at bhvr here would be my changes

Deathslinger addon hellshire iron - for every generator finished your spears range increases by 3m

Trapper new addon

Rusted jaw - whem survivors hit or disarm your traps they sufer from hindered for 20s

Pig nerf

Speed while Crouched is now 4.2m dash distance increases by 3m

Decisive strike - time increased 60-70s

Bubba buff
Insidious is now basekit

Your complaints are heard. As a result of your discussion, we have once again nerfed The Pig to make it so that removing the Bear Trap will cause Plague to lose her power.

If you think about it they got around lowering the volume by trying to make you in the power less, behavior thinking on the next level

This doesn't even make sense to me, what does plague just get cured or something? So bizarre

I think this is a good change because i just hate the plague
