Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Figure the real answer there is they'll never do cross progression because they can filch more money out of people making them buy their stuff all over again, but they won't be saying that one out loud

I'd rather pay for all my DLC a second time than to have to re-level all my characters, perks, etc.

I don't think it's really them, it's more likely that Sony and Microsoft don't want you playing with content you didn't buy on their platform. I think that's the point of that question "We can't do cross progression because of archaic contracts, but if we implemented it this way would you still want it"

It is almost certainly this.

Other games have done cross progression on consoles, though.

For that matter, it could just be that the dlc system wasn't designed to work across consoles and updating it would require ripping out a lot of fundamental code. You know, like how crossplay is pretty common in fighting games now because they're designed around it initially but Killer Instinct can't have full crossplay because the Xbox Live code it was built on fundamentally can't work with Steam.

There's a lot of reasons for this specifically to be out of Behavior's hands, is the point.

That's... different though, and almost certainly not applicable here. For one, DBD has cross-platform play, so communicating between platforms is obviously not an issue. For another, the game already communicates with BHVR's central servers regardless of platform. It could also sync purchases and progression from that server regardless of platform.

I'm not saying this is something they can throw together in an afternoon, but "syncing purchases and progression between platforms" is a lot less complicated than matchmaking and network play between different network architectures.

They've been talking about cross-progression for years. You can even go to their website and link your various accounts together. It doesn't actually DO anything, but since that was planned & stalled, my money would be on "contractual fuckery with Sony, MS, etc."

Comedy option: When you link your accounts, they give you 30 billion BP so you can manually get your progress back.

For characters Dead by Daylight uses a simple save file that's (now) server sided. It's changing a 0 to a 1 and vise versa, nearly literally.

I chose hide and seek as the most exciting new mode, and I told them if I can't play with my dlc I don't want cross progression at all. Oh well.

• Hooks are removed, but Cages of Atonement prevail

- Hide and Seek -
• No Generators
• No Hooks, only Moris when downed
• Stay alive for 5 minutes to escape through the exit gates
• Auras are revealed every couple of seconds

- Tag -
• A random Survivor is picked to be the Killer
• Down a player to swap roles
• Survivor 5 minutes and Escape

- Zombie Tag -
• A random Survivor is picked to be the Killer
• Down a player to swap roles
• Once a Survivor turns to a Killer, they cannot turn back

• Played in rounds with voting in between

- Disgustingly Scary -
• The Fog is thicker and shrouded in darkness

Oh my god the VIP mode. Get Down Mr. President real :allears:

The event continues to be awesome. Had a few killers throw outright so they could have silly snowball fights and it really is beautiful watching 3 survivors run around a killer like Nemesis throwing snowballs back and forth.

It adds levity even on more frustrating and arduous games like tunneling Wraiths or whatever - chasing after him while he tries to tunnel, yeeting snowballs at his back like you're jeering him with tomatoes.

I’m declaring this event to be Hatchmas. You must always give the last survivor the hatch.

I love nothing more than sitting in a snowman near a hatch, downing them before they make it, and letting them have it anyways.

Every day is Hatchmas for me unless the survs act like dicks, in which case it's Han4Kkah.

All of those extra game modes sound great. The game could afford to have two queues for Classic and Random Gimmick Mode.

5v5 in particular sounds hilarious. Running around killing survivors, pass by the other killer, give them a friendly gesture or a sour head shake. :laffo:

Only one that I think is a bad idea is VIP. You think tunneling is bad in the regular game!

what a humorous anecdote.
Swapped perspective and Luck of the Draw are absolutely my two top choices there, and the 5v5 is a close third. First person survivor would be terrifying!

Yeah, I was thinking about how this might be miserable and get a lot of rage from teammates. That said, maybe it'd work if the killer didn't know who the VIP is, so you have to employ misdirection.

I mean I think obviously tunnelling is the name of the game in VIP mode, its literally the point, and the other players must protect the hell out of them. The tradeoff for that mode should be something like "Its only three gens to complete"

I got The Dredge a few days ago and this is absolutely my favorite killer to play as right now. Map pressure, anti-loop ability, nice info perks, the works! Nowhere to Hide slotted perfectly with him too.

Had a game against Iri Head Huntress who had us absolutely dead to rights until we started pelting her with snowballs, at which point she happily dropped everything and let us gently caress around with her for a while. Even let us all go in the end. It's stuff like this that makes me keep coming back to this game, even if it gets my blood pressure up.

I like Dredge a lot but he is just WAY too map dependent. Got Haddonfield? Get hosed since there's no lockers on the road.

He's also loud as poo poo, for no discernible reason. Nightfall is great and everything but survivors can still hear you coming from a mile away. Snowman Dredge is one of the best skins in the entire game, though, so he has that going for him.

You asserted dominance by throwing things back at her. This is the only mode of communication a Huntress respects.

The bolded lines don't make sense. Once you're the killer you can't be a survivor, but when the killer downs a survivor they swap.

They don't mean swap in the sense of the killer becoming a survivor, they just mean every downed survivor becomes a killer. So the entire team converts to killers one by one.

They reused some text from the first Tag description where you *do* swap so it's confusing, but that's the only reasonable conclusion and is how zombie tag generally works (the infection spreads and is irreversible).
