The Plague's Map

[Chimera]

Is lazy, so is the clowns. But onto the plague.

The devs could have really done some amazing stuff with that map.

- Five level tower that's a temple.
- Cave system with various lore to the god of goats or w/e they worshiped.
- First level of the temple with a city market right outside.
- Added a new animals (rats) that follow around the survivor or killer and leaves a type of infestation trail that both survivors and killers can see.

But instead, we get...
Huntress was out hunting survivors and then she discovered some ruins! This be new map!

Like...really?

We get the entity is rebuilding her ancient destroyed temple.

While i would have prefered a cool new temple map. Its far from lazy

It is lazy, it's a copy paste of Red forest, and the only thing they did was drop a building in the middle of it.

Just like the clowns map. They could have made a big top, with a circus, lions that roar when survivors/killers get to close. But we get macmillian with a few circus stands thrown in a corner with a random church.

Agree to disagree. Im pretty sure time was put into the winter map which is why this is just a varient. We need more varients anyway

Don't get me wrong, I agree.

But each variant should expand on the lore of the killer of the map they belong too. A good example is auto haven. You have the office for the junk yard, a big crushing field, and you have the gas station. It shows you more about the wraith. What the world looked like during his time, right. But they are undeniably the Wraith's maps.

You cannot mistaken them for the clowns map the same way you could mistake clowns, trappers, huntress, and plagues maps.

With the clown you could squint and say "oh the circus visited the estate" and interlink their stores that way & tell another story of how the Clown & trapper met. But that's the thing, each map should tell a story or add to the story.

This junk together two killers nonsense DBD has done for a few chapters now does nothing to tell us a new story or expand on the lore. It's lazy.

Devs reusing game assets is not laziness, its efficiency.

Red forest is a nice map, so be glad they didnt use a corn/azerov/macmillan map, ungrateful dweebs.

Flipping assets is always laziness. Atlas is a great example of it.

Yet they are going to ask you to pay $10 for a survivor skin, a new killer with an okay power, and a free asset flip map.

If I'm paying for a new killer, I want her to have her own original map.

the maps have never been part of paid DLC. They're available to everyone regardless of if you buy it or not, so price isn't really an valid issue regardless of how you feel about assets being reused

We can all snip out parts but it takes true intelligence to read the entire sentence.

But you pay for the survivor, who is just a skin. It's like paying for the outfits in the store when you buy the survivor...actually you're just paying $$$ for the perks. The only thing you're /really/ paying for is the killer, and they include the "map" on the store page as well, even tho it's free, so I included it too.

I agree that putting the circus in crotus(i think the circus was traveling but why crotus?) and the temple in red forest is lazy.

But the church is not random. The name of the father of the church is mentioned in one of the nurses addons. So this church is probably the place where the nurse got married or the father used to visit patients for religios reasons.

Survivor and killer meshes need to be rigged and animated, to accommodate all the various collision and trigger volumes within all the maps. This might seem like a simple task, but its not.

UE4 requires a complex network of class blueprints, location vectors, controllers, etc to create a seamless gameplay with no corruptions. Applying new perks and powers only serve to complicate the code even more. The value is in the new survivor/killer, not the map. Creating an entirely new map from scratch every chapter is a waste of resources.

While it is certainly a little disappointing that it uses the Red Forest as the base it's actually pretty damn good what we get. At least they didn't do the Plague dirty like they did with the Clown. Only a small portion at the edge of the map for him.
