BHVR keeps creating useless add-ons 

I love how Otz's attitude in these videos has shifted from "Hey BHVR, this is a bit weird, can we maybe have a look at this please?" to "Hey guys, BHVR did this weird shit and idk why. Just be aware cos it'll be there maybe forever"

Dead by daylight definitely needs an "operation health" patch

They completely ignored the feedback on the PTB about the add-ons. They did the exact same thing with Trickster.

Otz been hittin the meanest smolders in these thumbnails lately

It baffles me that BHVR created the Discarded Airfilter and Idler Screw within the same breath that brought back Thompson's Mix. I would be beyond surprised if they didn't nerf or outright remove the cooldown add-ons, but I can see them leaving the useless ones untouched in typical dev fashion. Then again, there is not much room for complaints on my part really, Billy feels as great as never before and if engravings, lopro and steering add-ons stay unchanged, I can die happily.

The spirit add-on being accidentally buffed by making the range smaller is the same problem we had with the old _Whispers_ perk. Whispers used to have a small range as a Tier 1 perk and this range was biggest on Tier 3 Whispers. But ofc when you look for survivors, having a small area to search is much more useful. Whispers has since been fixed, now tier 3 has the smallest, most accurate range. I'm baffled how they made the same mistake again with Spirit

I'm surprised Otz did not mention Behavior's obsession with making Brown/Yellow Addons directly buff the killer's power so significantly, that playing without said addons feels horrible, then make the Greens, Purples, and Iridescents super niche or have some sort of wacky affect that ultimately leads to them being useless. Prime examples being the previously mentioned Knight (Map of the Realm), Ghostface (Philly), Dredge (Haddie's Calander), Demogorgon (Rat Liver), Twins (Toy Sword), Legion (Mischieve List) and now even Trickster to a large extent (Momento Blades). I trully despise this logic they have...

I love your commitment to debunking add-ons that sound fancy or useful at first glance but turn out to be useless or outright detrimental, and highlighting add-ons that have a different or additional effect to what they say (such as the range/duration Spirit and Nurse ones before they got nerfed).

This is a personal example of addon design for the Deathslinger that I find crazy. He has two addons that inflict mangled which are the rusted spike (yellow) and the honey locust thorn (green). The spike inflicts mangled when you spear a survivor with your power. After hitting a survivor (assuming no stbfl stacks) you will go through a 2.74s cooldown animation before you can reload while the green requires the survivor to break free from your speargun which will cause you to have a 3s stun penalty. So we have two addons that cause the same status affect where the yellow is better than the green for the same thing. Additionally it is impossible to down a survivor unless you can reel them in for a m1. If you have the rusted spike you are guaranteed to do this while if you have the green you are putting yourself at a disadvantageous position (if you down have the chewing tobacco/ bayshores cigar) Thank you for the video Otz!

We are not surprised

The tabbard is interesting because it supports the playstyle that they 100% intended the knight to have. Using the guards to...well...guard an area

Hello Otz, this is friends.

They have the same issue when it comes to designing new perks as well. The utility of older perks gets replicated or completely eclipsed by a newer perk, which either results in useless filler perks, or it results in older perks getting reworked. Then those reworks seem rushed and not thought out well, as we saw with the buckle up rework creating that insane tandem with FTP.

Can't fix add-ons, Feng Min needs more skins

I had no idea Nemmie tentacle even had a hinder effect.

0:42 hearing otz misspeak carburetor tuning guide sent me back I time to a place where billy didn’t know how to tune his own carburetor

BHVR: "We hear you. To bring Billy in line with recent generator changes, you will now have to hold his chainsaw charge for at least 3 seconds before the cooldown timer resets. Please use the new add-ons."

Otz simply can NOT resist trying to better the game with his backhanded information videos. XD

This makes Sadako's new Iridescent Tape come to mind: Teleport not turning off TVs in exchange of having no condemned come from TVs AND an increase in TV cooldowns if survivors touch tapes. I still can't figure out why they made that addon, let alone as an Iridescent.

Otz your back must be ACHING from carrying this game for so long. God bless, brudder.

Is it just me or is Otz’s face getting more and more, well, how do I put this… Chad-like each video?

I'm still happy you do this kind of content as not many content creators do informative type stuff on dbd

I brought up Discarded Airfilter and Idler Screw on the PTB. Glad to see they weren't changed.

I find this same problem with Hag's add-ons that increase trap trigger range as it makes it so you won't be able to hit them with a lunge after a teleport. But she has pretty good add-ons otherwise

Otz, I've recently been watching more of your streams, and can I just say it's amazing to see you interact with your chat, thanks

Licker add on buff that wouldn't be too crazy imo: unable to fast vault during the duration of your speed boost if hit by a tentacle (can still medium or slow vault). Maybe another small effect in addition.

Skull Merchant has some funny ones too. Like removing Drone rotation entirely, a Purple addon that reveals a Survivor's aura for 6 seconds when they get Claw Trapped. Sounds okay, until you remember that oh yeah, Claw Trapped Survivors are already trackable with her power, so it serves literally 0 purpose. There's a green one that reveals aura for 4 seconds when a Claw Trap is REMOVED, which makes way more sense, still bad, but at least it makes sense.

thank you for this videos otz. even if you have lost hope in behaviour listening to your/our suggestions to make the game better, it's always nice you inform us about what to be warry about in the game, in case they never change it haha

I know you said you don't wish to continue making videos trying to spotlight and create suggestions for fixes in the game, but even this style where you just address them in a nicely put together way is something I enjoy and hope you continue doing!

My personal take on how to change Billy's useless addons: Counterweight: increase the initial turning rate by 15%. This helps beginners curve and billy experts can also gain value eg when iri engraving+overdrive. (they might need to rename it lightweight or sth) Cracked Primer Bulb: the initial turning rate lasts 0.15s longer since it only deals 1 health state damage Thermal Casing: Chainsaw produce 25% less heat but overdrive lasts 50% longer Discarded Air Filter: after getting stunned or blinded chainsaw charged speed increased by 15% (mother's helper 2.0) Ragged Engine: after hitting a chainsaw, gain undetectable for 30s (Leafy Mash 2.0) High-Speed Idler Screw: during overdrive, gain 15% action speed bonus + Enduring overall 7.5.0 is an amazing patch for hillbilly players, i enjoyed playing him alot.

Thank you for making these types of videos Otz, I had no idea even wesker was affected by the duration nonsense with addons. I have no more hope of things like this getting fixed anytime soon, so I'll just keep this in mind when trying to make killer builds. Keep up the great content otz!

Thanks for the video. Imagine the Knight being able to recall guards with Ctrl. He doesn't use Ctrl anywhere so it can happen easily.

Add-ons like these and others are why I wish there was more variety in what add-ons did for most killers. I want add-ons that spice things up with new mechanics or changing playstyles. Rather than them being used to make the killer's QOL better, from faulty design choices.

And it is so depressing, as a Deathslinger Main myself, i thought the reeling speed add-ons were actually pretty ok, but they do so little and plus at default if the Deathslinger moves backwards while reeling them in they honestly get reeled in decently quick enough, but these reeling speed add-ons do so little i believe it's, the snake oil 5% which is brown, and Bayshore's gold tooth at 9% which is green, they could buff these numbers to like 10% and 15% and these with probably be ok, and im not even gonna talk about the ads movement speed add-ons, and why is there a green mangled add-on when the yellow one is way better

I really think a lot of killers could use a lot of the QOL add ons put into base kit. Add ons really should be for encouraging a certain build or play style like how Myers does it, but they shouldn't ever be 100% necessary or useless.

It’s very frustrating that it’s gotten to the point where we must all resign ourselves to the fact that the devs simply do not care and/or don’t have the time to think about the ramifications of the things they add/change in the game. Sad note aside, this is a fascinating video, and I love the way you break down how these bizarre add-ons work (or don’t work I guess…)

For things like buffing the Knight addon and nerfing the Spirit addon, I don't think the excuse of "the devs don't have time" can be used, since it only takes 10 seconds to read the effect of the addon and then come to the conclusion that changing the value in a certain will actually make the addon stronger/weaker This isn't a time or communication issue, this is a competency issue

great vid as always otz! I think they knight addon could be okay with the new gen regression changes. Kick it and make a guard camp it while it regresses. that being said it still would be much better to have the power in chase but food for the thought! Also i know the devs would never add voice comms but what would you think about a walkie talkie as an item allowing comms or something along that line?

Pyramid Heads addons need a rework the most because they are really inconsistent and hard to get value from and this explains why people only use his double range addons. Another reason is because he has been in the game for a couple of years, and since they wanted to make changes to his power in a previous PTB I don't believe it would be a licensing issue.

Love you, Otz! Can't wait to receive that cute otter plushie❤

Don't make me start talking about current (reworked) soda and autograph...no one used that even once

Been loving the variety content Otz!

Talking about Knight: It's insane to me that a brown addon (MotR) outclasses just about every other in his arsenal, when there are other addons that are considerably worse. Like you can't play Knight without this one common addon, and they've already buffed the tabbard, so maybe you'd want to run both.

Love ya Otz, we appreciate you!

I'm gonna keep it 💯 with you otz, I just use auto-level with complete disregard to what add-ons I get... but it's nice to know which ones will just be collecting in my inventory. Thanks!

great video! now for a deep dive into Doctor's add ons

These are the types of videos I like the most, because even if the devs don't listen or care about, we do Almost all killers have a couple of useless addons, Artist has one that helps survivors avoid the crows entirely and Skull Merchant has one to reduce the cooldown of disabled drones when u just can recall it and place another one. They are completely useless

Depending on Otz told to us, i think that the main Dev's problem is: 1) They don't play their game and can't compare how and what will happen in these or that situations. 2) They don't give a fuck. Because we all have addiction to the idea of game and there is no decent analogues. Texas massacre fucked up by their own dev's and that was sad.

If I was developing a live service game I would love to have someone like Otz as a balancing manager.

I had no idea the crank was worse than the egg. I’ll have to tell all my Wesker buddies so we can wesk better.

I could listen to you talking about broken addons for hours, it is so funny and entertaining yet sad at the same time.

I really love these discussio videos no matter zhe topic :D

Devs are too busy creating Feng cosmetics...

Great video to inform people about things in the game to just ignore and not waste time with. I actually come from old school gaming before patches existed whereby it was relatively common for there to be completely useless things in games and people just made sure to never use them. So whether or not people believe bhvr should fix these things, its important to inform everyone so they don't waste their time.

I still think the worst thing about addons is that there are addons with the same action, but different numbers

BHVR now: fixing the penalty Addons? NO we're nerfing the duration addons.

Thanks for the video. I do have to disagree about the knight though. I use that add on all the time. Hold gens, exit gates, etc.

This is literally why I stopped playing this game. The developers literally have no idea how their game works and refuse to listen to the community feedback...

Hi Otz. Some time ago you said you would make a video talking about how/when to use each one of the 4 basement hooks. Will you do that? I'm really curious! Thanks!

Wow that ending is depressing. To see a titan give up like that is sad to see, but very understandable.

Lopro my beloved

The purple add on for wesker used to do give a bigger chunk of infection as well when you hit a survivor with the dash in any way, even if it didnt grab because of endurance.

You know whats got me worried? Deathslinger recently got his turn in the spotlight of lore for the new tome and rift. And it makes me get this feeling theyre gonna ruin his add ons like Wardens keys or Modified ammo belt to make the reload speed longer. Or changing his ultra rare add ons to something way mote unsatisfying. Maybe changing Iridecent coin to something like granting a speed boost after or while reeling a survivor.

Hey Not Otz your "dont press button" video was super fun, it took me 3 sittings to watch it whole. I know it has nothing to do with the matter, im just boosting engagment. Good luck :)

BHVR, please take this video to heart. Something urgently needs to change. Finally stop creating useless add-ons ! By the way, Great Video Otz. More stuff like this

the green cooldown add on is the only one Ive used, since being a billy main I dont have any add ons since I play him so much and spend bp on other killers, the cooldown in overdrive is so nice

Yeah a friend of mine and I were talking about something like this where the brown or green add ons are way better than the red and purple add ons and thank god you actually explained it really well because it just makes sense that devs thought that the worst add ons weren’t getting that much love that they just had to make it better

Hey Otz, can you address the bugs on the most recent update? One that I personally encountered is Legion's Frenzy Killer Instinct not detecting survivors.

Love you Otz, keep up the good work

Its good for new players to understand some of these "trap" add-ons where they seem good but are actually bad, the knight one is a great example. so I think its great you made this video Otz!! Its not just for entertainement purposes

The community is actually unifying around the point that the constant march forward for new content is hurting the game, and I'm here for it. Don't get me wrong, I love me some new content, but the game really needs a balance pass more than anything. The issue is that the devs are incentivized by the market to release content on a consistent schedule and I really can't blame them for that. The best we can do is keep talking about it. Keep pushing for a balance pass, and maybe we'll see a few more Billy level touch ups on our aging characters.

It might be worth noting that Blight's Slam Duration addons also have the same effect that Wesker's Egg does. During the slam, you're also able to indirectly move faster.

"Sharing this with you for entertainment purposes. I wish I had something more positive to end the video on." Otz, the entertainment purposes is very positive.

I would not be surprised if the Pig was nerfed into 1 Jigsaw box because they thought having more jigsaw boxes would make it harder and completely forget how the pig plays at this point.

they removed the undetectable after a chainsaw hit 😡

Hey otz I'm a trickster main and my main build is hex ruin,deadlock, corrupt intervention, and scourge hook: pain resonance. I'm thinking about changing deadlock and putting bamboozle because the killer shack is a big weakness for trickster but deadlock also helps me slow down the game and really compliments hex ruin. Do you think i should switch deadlock for bamboozle?. (This is also a question for the chat if anyone has an opinion i wanna hear it!)

Dbd really needs it's own Operation Health just like Siege did or even just toss another month between chapters so everything can be more fleshed out and clean

I could listen to Otz rant all day

The cherry blossom “nerf” is still so weird for me. Whispers shows they understand a shorter range can make detection perks/add ons better. Since when you level up that perk it goes from like 36m to 18m (sorry if those numbers aren’t accurate). Yet even then they made that change on making a more accurate detection add on

Your understanding of development on this game is amazing. I would 100% agree with you on that.

I love the counterweight, what I hate the most on Billy is revving the chainsaw just to turn 90 degrees and hit a wall while the survivor goes on thinking that I'm an idiot.

With the egg a rebound would have been a great example, because you get more distance because the speed boost is longer, so you can rebound wider loops

Hey Otz, this is Alfred. Could you make a vid showing how the new gen changes may impact certain perks. For example, Eruption will eat through the allowed 8 regression events because you have to kick a gen to start the perk up (one regression event) and down a survivor (second regression event). So you'll really only have four gen kicks if you're not careful running the perk. Four gen kicks doesn't seem like a lot to me especially in high traffic areas like the central gens in RPD.

Why doesnt bhvr just hire this guy

Otz is so passionate about this game, it's sad that the devs just don't listen to him more

even tho I stopped playing dbd like over a year ago I still love to watch otz talk about it/play it

Loving Otz's villain arc. He's like an eloquent bad guy in a Bond movie. "No BHVR, I expect you to deny."

If BHVR actually made changes that are good for the game from experienced players like Otz, everything would be balanced pretty well

Why haven't (BHVR) hired this guy, OTZ would be a God tier employee💯

If this game dies,one of the most likely reasons for it would be that the devs are focusing too much on new chapters and skins and forgetting about stuff like this

If anyone needed ANY more proof that the devs don't play their own game...

Hi Otz, hope you're having a good day.

In my opinion the devs should stop looking just at stats and actually play the killers. I hate how they always design addons without a second thought to it.

I remember you pointed out a similar issue with the Myers duration add-ons to me and I am now using a lower rarity add-on because it is better

don't forget deathslinger's reel speed add-ons and movement speed while aiming add-ons!

Just shows that looking at raw numbers and just reduce them doesnt always work without considering other aspects. Wild that Bhvr is still doing this, despite having multiple chances to learn from their mistakes.

as i understand it the issue with the pyramidhead addon (and what used to be the issue with the spirit addons) is that anything in the game using a power that depletes (killer powers, survivor items, etc) is based on a 'charges' system; ie., a toolbox or pyramidhead sword power has [x] charges and [y] charges are consumed each second you use the toolbox to repair the generator, or the power to create lines on the ground. the # of charges is static but the recovery of charges for killer powers is always % based, ie. you recover a static 5% of your power every second, regardless of how many 'charges' you have. this creates a problem when you have an addon that increases the maximum number of charges but the % of charges recovered per second remains static. if you have 100 charges and recover 5% of those charges per second, and you have an addon that adds 10 charges without reducing that 5% recovery rate, you now suddenly recover more charges per second and also have more maximum charges. not a bug so much as a design oversight that will continue to affect pretty much any similar killer powers they add to the game until they change the charge system (unlikely) or make exceptions for every set of duration addons; there are likely other addons with weird and ineffective functionality stemming from the way these mechanics are handled.

Otz unleashed; bhvr we r doing a good job so far

Otz you are a blessing

my heart is breaking when i see otz suffering so much about these little things and knowing, they might not change it :(
