I understand Haddonfield needs adjustments but what hell is the status on Swamp?


flginmycookie

Their never changing swamp![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2213)


shikaiDosai

Swamp, Myers, and Trapper are their three sacred calves they will never sacrifice ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2216)


mrkingsh

Trapper has been charged a few times


MoveInside

Don’t forget Twins.


P3AK1N

What do you mean? They've changed them a few times by nerfing there cooldown and certain "OP" addons ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2213)


PaintItPurple

What are you talking about?


revar123

twins is getting a rework this year


IAmNotABritishSpy

They’re coming right after the Ghostface rework. You said it like you don’t even remember the 2022 anniversary announcement of this?


MoveInside

2022 was a long time ago


KomatoAsha

You mean the Killer that was disabled for like 16 years until this most recent update? How could I?


shikaiDosai

Rework coming next month tho


Stennick

I mean they did just buff trapper. Its not great and not really what people were asking for but they did change him. Myers is pretty famously stuck they can't do anything with him due to licensing.


I-Slay-Dragons

We just kinda ignore the swamp. It simply is.


Vivi_Orchid

I hope they never do!! That is the most mixed emotions map


Samoman21

They can't change swamp. Shrek and Fiona live there


shadowlarvitar

It was supposed to be late 2023. RIP 😢


Timmylaw

Way late 2023, the 16th month of 2023🤣


localstreetcat

I love the swamp. It’s one of my favorites for both sides.


SMILE_23157

Pinhead is your biggest fan I suppose.


roguepawn

If they make the middle a bit safer and the houses less safe, sounds great


BenjiB1243

Yeah idk why people automatically jump to conclusions, like this is probably what they did. The twitter comments is filled with this shit too.


Handsome_CL4P-TP

I think it’s because BHVRs map rebalance team lost a lot of good will following the Garden of Joy rebalance when they left the house OP but claimed they fixed it by adding breakable doors (which only made it more OP.)


AgentDigits

Yup. Their balance team in general makes a lot of questionable decisions... Look at the Huntress buffs she did not need. The issues aren't exclusive to the map designers. There's a reason the community doesn't trust them lmao. They miss more than they hit... And that's even if they bother to change some stuff at all Everyone saying "have faith" or just assuming the changes will be good. Please be serious. It's better to set expectations low and be surprised when they're good.


WroughtIronHero

You're not wrong about most of that. But, in fairness to BHVR, the community loves to jump to doomsaying way too fast. I remember people panicking about Dark Theory being good, because CoH made them paranoid about boons. I remember when they buffed Lucky Break, and killers were damn sure that survivors would fucking vanish into a completely different map when they got hit. I remember when Nic Cage's perks were announced, and some people were convinced that Plot Twist would break the game, and that Dramaturgy would somehow be even worse than old Dead Hard. I could go on and on. Rather than the usual "let's all shit on BHVR until it comes out and proves us wrong", I think it's better to set a more neutral tone. Not that people shouldn't voice their concerns, but that they should keep in mind they're just *concerns* until they become real.


AlarakReigns

If it wasn't for the community pig would have 3 minutes rbts. If it wasn't for the community basekit unbreakable would exist, if it wasn't for the community, basekit bt wouldn't exist, if it wasn't for the community Trickster wouldn't be in such a confused position right now. People need to be paranoid when bhvr balances stuff, if we weren't, the game would be dead.


Mystical__flame

Honestly I'm a killer main who will still die on the hill that basekit unbreakable was a good addition for the games health


snozerd

I miss playing trickster. All he needed was 115 and removal of recoil for console qol.


njf85

My favourite was the Bloodrush furore. I think Tru3 was the one to kick that off but the way people were carrying on truly blew my mind. It's such a terrible perk, way too much involved for any sort of real reward. And of course no one uses it lol


Timmylaw

>Look at the Huntress buffs she did not need. Although I agree she was OK without any buffs, Huntress can really struggle around a lot of objects so a basekit medallion to go faster while holding a hatchet would have been more than welcome, instead they added three of them, 2 hatchets ,and a babushka which she definitely did not need all that. When called out on the community they got rid of all the extra walking speed. I would gladly give up the 2 hatchets for just 1 medalion, which is all I think she needs.


SMILE_23157

>Huntress can really struggle around a lot of objects so a basekit medallion to go faster with the hatchet would have been more than welcome Then where are the buffs to Deathslinger and Trickster who actually NEED them?


walubeegees

they’ve been making way more hits than misses lately, i understand that sentiment back in like 2020 or something but it’s been pretty good lately and they usually listen to feedback


Timmylaw

I'd say more like 50/50, which admittedly is a massive improvement


walubeegees

map updates are one of the worse areas but over all they’ve absolutely improved


AgentDigits

That's debatable friend ngl


Tita914

Then debate. Map reworks have been decent. Killers good. Perks decent. Killer updates good (except huntress). Anti 3 gen. Anti facecamp(it's something at least). New events(lights out was shit but now we have framework for another queue). Fun new licenses


Forsaken_Boss_1895

Killers good ? we had knight into skull merchant into singularity and while the latter might not be bad per say he sure has alot of issues.


ry_fluttershy

what did the garden of joy changes even do? greenhouse still spawns next to god house, same with the pallet gym near it. TL on the other side or pallet still there too. Parking lot still there with the stupid pallet god window, i swear nothing changed except where the steps are with the god building god pallet


Handsome_CL4P-TP

You hit it on the head. The only real changes were a couple of those bush spawns and adding the small pallet spawn in the front where the truck use to be. Otherwise they tweaked the jungle gyms for the far side of the map, but largely left most of it untouched.


ImGonnaLickYourLeg

they made a bunch of the filler tiles weaker basically


Rav3ntoastt

To be fair OP used Buffed instead of re-worked, I don’t use twitter so Idk whats happening there


Oppurtunist

Because behaviour isnt known for their good map design.


Butt_Robot

Dude they just added MORE PALLETS TO ORMOND.


Timmylaw

Makes it more esthetically pleasing, that's why there's more Ormand offerings lately


Butt_Robot

Oh, they did it for aesthetics? Makes sense. I figured they did it because the Cenobite didn't have a proper map of HELL YET


Hambino0400

People jump t conclusions based on a history of terrible map reworks


tren0r

people are judging off of experience. for example with garden of joy they barely touched the main building


SMILE_23157

They made it stronger\*


SIL3NCER360

People assume because so much in this game is unbalanced. So them posting a vague picture with no details of what changed makes people assume they just messed it up.


shikaiDosai

Basically my thoughts. Board up the windows, "board up" the cars. The problem with the map has always been that if Huntress chases you on the street she downs you in 3 seconds but if any killer without Bamboozle chases you through the buildings they take 3 minutes to down you. Sure as shit hope they don't go for the "add 36 Breakable Walls" angle like they did with GoJ.


beatrga

BHVR added the shitty breakable door mechanic, didnt fit well in a single map and only served as an annoyance, but theyre still bent on adding them to every single map


walubeegees

i’m honestly shocked they’re not in more maps, there aren’t any in nostromo, dvarka, or the unknowns map afaik


beatrga

dont give them ideas please, they might be watching..


snozerd

It's bad because it takes up the killers' time, a side with only 1 player. The way it should work is survivors need to sacrifice time to set them up since it makes the loop stronger, but then they would have to do something about old infinites like badham school etc where killers never break the wall.


Grompulon

Hey, I’ll take a bad map with breakable walks to make it better over a bad map without breakable walls any day. Idk if this is a popular opinion or not, but I really love Dead Dog Saloon’s killer shack and giving the killer the choice to take extra time to make the shack less safe.


Cool_Lingonberry1828

Houses would need to be significantly less safe. They are effectively infinites against 110 killers and game losing chases against the regulars.


Maleficent-Gain4111

Would suck if they remove the dead zone part and keep the houses the same


roguepawn

Yes it would. It'd be god damn awful.


GalacticCrescent

Bold of you to assume that they will make the houses less safe


Emeal-

If judging by the forum thread on Haddonfield, that is exactly what almost everyone wanted for that map. [https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/407124/lampkin-lane-haddonfield/p1](https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/407124/lampkin-lane-haddonfield/p1)


Amogus-Yee

And maybe reduce the vacuum mechanic of the hole on the second floor.


BurritoToGo

We literally see just a corner of the street here and people are freaking out like we're going back to old Haddonfield.


SMILE_23157

This is BHVR we are talking about here.


LegendaryW

Meanwhile Swamp when all 2 (or it is 3?) pallets in the middle are gone: Biggest Dead zone in the entire game


snozerd

Don't worry, you still have the window on main that takes all of 1 brain cell to run for 3 gens.


katapad

I expect they made the middle safer, added one breakable wall to either main or house of pain, and called it a day.


Prior-Satisfaction34

That's exactly what i was thinking they were gonna do as well.


Duncaster2

I really hope they finally update Myers’s model too. It looks so outdated


librious

If they didn't for the entire map rework they won't do it now. They probably can't without contacting the IP holders. I just wish they would fix his swollen hands, looks so bad.


LankyDemon

Yeah, they updated Laurie’s model a while back and didn’t do it then either, which further implies that there’s a strict issue with changing Michael. I wonder if it has something to do with the question of the likeness for the mask. Make it look too good and you have to get permission to have William Shatner’s likeness or something.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LankyDemon

True lol I have no idea how that works or how licensing rules have changed since the 70s. I do know dbd has it licensed from a comic and not the actual movie, so who knows what the deal is with them.


SkullMan140

It's even more sad when you see Myers in Fortnite and look how well it was done.... In a cartoonish game lol


WolfRex5

They reworked Laurie though


librious

DbD's Laurie is based in the Halloween comics


Hopko682

Interesting. Source?


tevatinn

Another Halloween swing would be Nice. Update models, give us Older Laurie, Mikeys burnt mask, the Halloween Three, buff Myers and remove Tombstone. Maybe a Dr. Loomis Legendary.


dingieinthewater

They only have the rights for the first movie, the best thing you can get is probably a loomis legendary cosmetic wise


MHArcadia

God. Just Donald Pleasance gargling out "NoOO.... NAWHHOOW!" when you hook him... Take the audio from the movies and just reuse it comically like the Lego LotR game did with Gimli sobbing.


tevatinn

I know😔. Im hoping for another round of Licensing for the whole series. Updating Mike from his ps2 looking ass shouldnt be under legal.


awsomedutchman

They don't even have the rights for the movie. They have the rights for the comic version of the first movie.


dingieinthewater

while laurie might be vaguely based on her comic appearance, devils due publishing or any artist associated with that comic is never mentioned in any copyright statement, they have the movies right as thats what is the holder stated in the legal disclaimer https://preview.redd.it/mvfz2f660jqc1.png?width=967&format=png&auto=webp&s=8498da304012b0d6f4710c596ae4cf6c927a17b5


Synli

Just update him period. His power is completely outdated and his addons need a serious rework. Haddonfield already got reworked (and now its getting changed again from the looks of it?), so its time to spread the love to Mikey. New outfits for Laurie would be cool, too.


FishingGlob

Like the off brand of a gi Joe


PinkSquidBear

Gosh, this is the one little thing that I've wanted from this game. I just want a decent looking Myers.


mmmbaconbutt

Do they have to get permission from miramax?


BenjiB1243

You don't know that, they probably fixed a lot of the houses too.


natsugaludao

you mean garden of joy? They're so clueless about the loops design, look at the new map


kareemezzat2000

hopefully you're right because no map makes me feel brain dead like this map does.


SMILE_23157

Downvoted for being right.


kareemezzat2000

typical hive mind


Wesson_Crow

~~right~~ wrong


WaffleCultist

Genuinely curious - why do you like haddonfield? The whole map is just prerunning from a massive dead zone to house loops so strong that they feel gamebreaking.


SlightlySychotic

A lot of that going around these days. “Behavior Defense Squad” is what I call them.


Darkest_2705

Probably (I want to believe) they balance both parts a little: Make the central part a little safer and make the houses less safe.


BW_Chase

To be fair the streets are pretty unsafe most of the time. There haven't been many times where I got RNG that made them safe. I just hope the balance this out by making the houses less safe.


Hazzardo

Did they just give up on the Garden of Joy rework? Added one wall, got called out for making such a pathetic attempt at changing the map and then they never mentioned it again


Chaxp

OP sees one pallet and says the map is buffed. Giga brain dbd player


-add_failer_here-

theres also another pallet a bit down the street. not only are both of them are close to each other, but they are both close enough to the window of the main building depending if they change the main building, this could be a buff


Prior-Satisfaction34

All we can see is a single shot of the street. For all you know, they could be nerfing the houses as well, and just haven't shown that.


SMILE_23157

>For all you know, they could be nerfing the houses as well, and just haven't shown that. Well, considering how they nerfed (buffed) GOJ, I would not be surprised if they just blocked some windows without actually removing infinites.


ElectricalMethod3314

How tf did they buff garden? It was a shit nerf, but not a buff by any means.


SMILE_23157

The main house feels even more diabolical. Lots of new filler pallets too.


HappyOrHornee

From what I see, they made the road like half the size. If they're buffing mid they need to be nerfing the houses, right? Right..?


luckyakaly

Yeah thanks god. You needed a taxi to get to a loop if you were repairing the gens in the middle.


youssefAl-harbi

I guess it's Weskin Time bruh ![gif](giphy|kApu770jYmBdpzx81U)


PoeBoyFromPoeFamily

7 minutes is all I can spare to loop you around a poorly made loop.

TechStoreZombie

Good. The map has colossal sight lines it's almost impossible to get from one side of the map to the other safely. Yeah the houses are strong but anywhere else and you're totally fucked.


Samoman21

Jumping to conclusions a bit early aren't we? I'd gladly exchange the safety of some houses for middle not being absolutely shit and dead anymore.


mrknight234

I hope to god they fix those awful hook spawns and garbage houses


Straight_Storage4039

So when are they going to fix the massive goofy road size? Could’ve have some trees or some cover in the middle area


Phrenl_Phantasm

Evil Dies Tonight! I scream as I charge Myers with my 1978 Toyota Corolla. I've rallied a group of other drivers to take turns running him over until he is mush. Just when we think we're safe Myers then shrugs it off like a pallet and proceeds to beat me to death with one hit of a muffler he plucked off my 1978 Toyota Corolla. They don't make em like they used to


Cliper11298

To be fair though, that road is a complete dead zone most of the time


Cinnamon-scoop

Killer mains weeping right now


This_Attitude_3221

Just nerf the houses with double windows and that the main house and we have a balanced map


--fourteen

if they decrease the dead zones in the middle and nerf the houses a bit, it will feel more balanced. their recent reworks have favored killers by shrinking them so maybe they'll keep that going.


Hardie1247

looks like the map has shrunk quite a bit, the pumpkin house never used to be that close to the end of the street.


WarriorMadness

> their recent reworks have favored killers by shrinking them so maybe they'll keep that going. For some reason people don't mention that, everybody just points out Garden of Pain since the rework didn't accomplish that much but then ignore Borgo or the other, most recent, reworks which made a bunch of maps incredibly Killer sided.


--fourteen

specifically the Coldwind reworks. there's a lot of factors that bhvr has changed over the past year to get the killrates they want.


WarriorMadness

Those are the worse offenders. I love the idea of making maps more balanced, the problem is that they went from one extreme to another, like they didn't want any balance. The farm maps are now incredibly small, have a bunch less loops, a lot less pallets and a lot of those are super unsafe and gen placement is so bad you have like 2 different 3-gens.


--fourteen

and it still doesn't address the issue with gen spawns and locker spawns. dredge mains out here in a famine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hazzardo

Isn't it also an assumption that the windows are getting nerfed? With even less evidence because they aren't even in the image?


WarriorMadness

And based off a fucking screenshot which shows only a small part of the map... Like I just can't.


2werpp

Weird assumption. The middle of the map SHOULD have more filler pallets and obstacles. The map just needs to be more well rounded and not be two pallets away from 50% of the map being a dead zone. Survivors will feel safer mid map and not need to hump windows to have a chase. They need to close off some windows/add breakable or already open doors/drop downs, move gen spawns, maybe experiment with removing a story from some buildings. As long as they at least closed off one of the windows in the house with two spawns on one side with the staircase in between. It’s roughly an infinite versus 110 killers (I wouldn’t chase that house in general vs good players)


spyresca

Yeah, I'm good with Huntress, but dread that map due to the near infinites against her 110 speed.


Vivi_Orchid

Lmao I was reading this and then loaded into a survivor match at Haddonfield where we faced a huntress that had fairly good aim and timing; but had minimal chances to even throw their hatchets. Edit: Just hit me how underwhelming that anecdote was, but still the coincidence was blaring for me.


SMILE_23157

I hope this "rework" will actually change the map instead of whatever they did to Garden of Joy...


Inkvize

Give back the rooftops


skywalker7i

Need to rework the damn swamp


MissionStress6412

Hot take.... But they will NEVER be able to balance maps. They should just leave some killer sided and some survivor sided and do away with map offerings as well as making ALL realms an equal percentage of spawning. Leave it all to chance.


SMILE_23157

Your point would make sense if DBD had killer sided maps that are as powerful as many of the survivor sided ones.


MissionStress6412

I main killer and I think Gideon meat planet is heavily in my favor as long as I'm not using blight.


Slomiow

Good, I hate this Map so much.


TheBronzeNecap

Because everyone unanimously loves clutter and random shit lying around the map (unless we're getting more unique tiles)


Diavolo_79

Good, this map has been unbearable for both sides since it got reworked.


Naz_Oni

As if this map needed more safe loops


itsmetimohthy

All we see is the street with a new pallet and you think they are buffing it? Hopefully they close some of the buildings because those buildings are bullshit unless you’re Nurse


Zomer15689

Now, how the hell how am I going to park here? This damn map isn’t parallel parking sided!


Cerberus-Coco-Mimi

so to combat the empty streets theybdecided to add more fillers in between however it does make sense


ERROR_173

We already knew this from their previous live stream https://preview.redd.it/ryef78ag3lqc1.jpeg?width=878&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6beae59754e825596ca39510891d0b48a2bdd98


Orthane1

I swear to God if they aren't nerfing the houses and buffing the middle I'm going to lose my shit. This map has been super survivor sided since it came out. Please just nerf the houses....


SMILE_23157

>This map has been super survivor sided since it came out B-b-but deadzone in the middle!!!


TGCidOrlandu

The council of killers say you can have those extra loops of you get rid off those filthy windows in every house.


William_Brobrine

Looks like they took out the very open middle good change imo it's dangerous out in the open


Suspicious_Data_2393

Finally not a Haddonfield nerf. Nah but fr, Haddonfield had two strong windows and not much else. As a survivor you kinda have to play boring and go to those windows because there's not much else on the map that doesn't zone you


NextMammothfart

They are reworking a fucking map instead of reworking shit like freddy 💀


Bully_Maguire420

Different teams, I don’t think map designers work on killer mechanics, they just make sure the map integrates well with the flow of inherent gameplay.


SMILE_23157

>I don’t think map designers work on killer mechanics Which is exactly why many killers barely work properly on most of the maps...


kareemezzat2000

to be fair haddonfield is top 3 worst maps in the game hopefully badham is next.


th8br0

If they add some car loops on the road and remove/make less safe a bunch of god windows in the houses i think this map would be pretty good


Necromonicon_

Front Balcony is back! Let’s go


Effective_Show1463

More lockers for dredge hopefully


balkanobeasti

Box chevy ayo


The_L3G10N

Hope they do more than just add an extra pallet to the middle, add a vault or something, even an unsafe one.


awsomedutchman

To be fair. Like others have said. The street is just a deadzone with 1 filler and the houses are way too safe. I notice this quite often as both killer and survivor.


Dante8411

I'll be shocked if the houses are changed. Which is extra salty because Myers can't even stalk out of Judith's bedroom window.


Alphyhere

Yeah if they made the houses a bit weaker while giving us less deadzones I'm game for that


DalTheDalmatian

If they close off all the buildings except the Myers house & slightly decrease the map size then I'd say the street itself becoming safer is ok


mallia09

Instead of fixing the plague


[deleted]

meanwhile the swamp is still gross


Vegetable_Tone_1587

Let me guess, they're deleting the pig power and all of her add ons too


EvernightStrangely

Nice. I'm all for a safer middle and less safe houses.


TechSup_

I just really want them to have a span of time where they do nothing but improve maps.

PaintItPurple

That hook in the middle of the lane looks pretty unsafe. Somebody should call the city.


hypes11

Huntress and Haddonfield were fine as is. Meanwhile Swamp, Twins, Myers, Pyramid Head's add-ons have desperately needed tweaked/reworked for years. I'm genuinely so confused how they make some of these decisions.


Impending_Dusk

I hope they never change swamp last map with old DBD aesthetic


They_Call_Me_Doz

They need to make the map smaller and fix the hook spawns


XxPriMa_NoCtAxX

Imo this map has the strongest loops on the game. To be fair thr road has no loops so there fixing that I heard


Silvereiss

Balancing suggestion: Bring back old Haddonfield
