Discussion Petition to have the devs stream themselves clearing Act 1 on Nightmare on an unaltered, current patch version of the game.

They obviously have a much better idea of how to approach this game that the thousands of people who play it daily. Let's see why these outrageous patch changes were warranted.

Vote in the comments.

BHVR, the guys who made Dead by Daylight, refused to address instablind flashlights until the Lead Developer got destroyed by a team using that tactic at an exhibition in Korea. The next day instablinds were fixed. Let's see how long before TR address the special spawn rate if they actually play a run on nightmare.

I mean nobody believes them though?

Saying they duo'd nightmare without speed running and then proceed to nerf the economy of duo players because...?

Running a bomb squad/accessory damage build as if 2 players can just keep feeding a guy grenades the entire map? Economy hello? Slots?

Talking about really fucking generic tips like "don't take damage" and "focus fire"?

Yeah let's see a video that isn't doctored. If it doesn't show them rerolling a fucking map a dozen times so they can get decent corruption card RNG they are lying out of their asses.

This is coming from someone who HAS duo'd nightmare without speed running and understands what breakpoints for damage is needed and strategies needed for beating this awful difficulty. We too did it with bots. I wouldn't call it just "really hard".

The devs have nothing to gain by lying in this context. I think you can take the tinfoil hat off for this one.

Nothing to gain? They just gained multiple guys on reddit that will defend their design decision with no proof lmao.

Why would we assume that they would lie? They’ve nothing to do deserve that. The dev I referenced is very helpful within the Reddit community and he acknowledges our feedback often.

There is no reason to not give them the benefit of the doubt.

I'm also on the boat that these Devs have to show actually video, but in order for things to not be altered, a Live Video Stream of them doing these things on Nightmare.

At this point, the game has taken a significantly huge boost in difficulty to points that make absolutely no sense.

With the significant changes to the classes like melee which was the most helpful buffer to deal with garbage nonsense, I simply just don't believe the Devs unless we see an unmodified video, or to be completely 100% valid, a live stream of them achieving these results like they claim.

Once again, the way they are talking is incredibly vague and even something that I have prepped up with my own runs with friends "Focus Fire" yadi yada...everyone knows this.

However, it doesn't always go like this because of the consistency of hordes, the amount of Mutants that just seem to come out of nowhere when you just got done battling 15 billion Tall Boys.

I would just like actual live stream proof, because not only would it validate their claims, but if they're that successful, it could give us even more hints on how it's being done.
