One factor that’s been endlessly shocking about enjoying Lifeless by Daylight has been how shortly it’s develop into a comfortable expertise for me. Despite the fact that it’s filled with blood, screaming, and infuriating Megs not doing turbines – it’s nonetheless discovered a means into my coronary heart and has develop into nearly a consolation recreation. That have has been rocked lately, due largely to DBD’s newest patch which has landed with greater than its justifiable share of points.
Patch 8.1.0 launched on Tuesday July 16 and it introduced with it some key reworks for the Singularity and the Knight, in addition to introducing Lifeless by Daylight to new survivor Lara Croft. If that have been all it did there wouldn’t be a necessity for a information article however sadly, there’s much more happening that has brought on some appreciable consternation among the many multiplayer recreation’s group.
In all probability essentially the most impactful bug affecting gamers proper now within the wake of the patch is expounded to turbines. When a survivor dies and as an alternative of hanging round decides to depart the match, it’s at the moment lowering the quantity of turbines which should be accomplished. This has meant survivors have been capable of escape trials earlier than 5 turbines have been repaired, a core drawback that along with affecting the movement of the sport could possibly be simply exploitable. That is tentatively dated for a decision within the subsequent hotfix however on the time of writing there’s no agency indication about when this replace will hit the sport.
Along with that generator challenge, there are a number of others affecting the sport proper now. Endurance, an impact which permits survivors to take successful with out going into the dying state, shouldn’t be appropriately being awarded when it usually ought to. A brand new beauty for Yui Kimura is obstructing killers’ view when the survivor is being carried to a hook, making it close to unimaginable to steer. The Backwater Swamp map has been quickly disabled as survivors may discover a method to develop into unreachable, forcing the sport right into a stalemate. Survivors hit by Wesker’s cost assault are additionally left floating within the air as an alternative of returning to their regular animations – which isn’t precisely recreation breaking as a bug, however it’s totally hilarious to see.
This all comes on prime of the commonly poor sentiment surrounding Lifeless by Daylight in the intervening time, attributable to points such because the recreation’s DLC rising in worth and a souring of the basic participant expertise. The change in tone across the recreation has been exacerbated by the revamped UI which has additionally hit DBD together with this patch. The UI modifications have already been greeted with complaints on the sport’s public check realm, however now they’re stay the sport’s group is in close to revolt over them.
The sport’s subreddit is overwhelmed with experiences of points with the sport UI with threads like “Gonna say it, the Consumer Interface for Lifeless by Daylight is getting worse each chapter,” and “Quite a lot of posts at this time about how crappy the brand new UI is however haven’t seen anybody discuss how unhealthy this seems to be,” taking prominence within the day following the patch’s launch.
It’s not all unhealthy information, nonetheless, as the most recent Rift has been praised for its selection and theme, with loads of bloodpoints and cosmetics to earn as the present season progresses. As well as, gamers are getting caught into Lara Croft’s new perks and are discovering surprising and helpful synergies for them.
A number of of the problems reported proper now are beneath investigation with many earmarked for fixes both within the first or second hotfixes deliberate for the patch, which is able to hopefully assist flip across the present tide of detrimental sentiment considerably. You possibly can regulate what developer Behaviour Interactive is engaged on over on its devoted X thread.
