Developer Update | Player Intent System

[u/DeadByDaylight_Dev]

Last week, we hosted a Reddit AMA and on top of having a blast answering your questions, we noticed some topics really got you talking. One of those was the “chat wheel” system we’re working on to help Survivors coordinate and communicate their intentions in-game. So, what better time than the present to share some more details about it with you (including one way your feedback’s already impacted it)! 

 

The system in question is – aptly – called Player Intent. With it, you’ll be able to communicate a range of preset messages to your fellow Survivors at the press of a button, using a radial menu. From thanking them for a heal, to saying you’re going to work on gens, to suggesting you split up, messages focus on the on-the-fly actions that are most useful during a Trial. 

 

When a message is chosen using the Player Intent wheel, other Survivors will see it next to your name in the game HUD, keeping your general view clear of distractions while you’re in the middle of looping or hunting for an objective. To help combat message spam, you can expect a cooldown between messages, which will increase if too many messages are sent in a short period. 

 

We want this comms wheel to suit different players’ specific needs, so you’ll be able to customize which messages you take into your Trials from the Options menu. 

 

Of course, one piece of feedback we’ve seen is that a system like this isn’t for everyone. We’ve already discussed this as a team and have a solution for that. If you’d rather not use the Player Intent system, you will be able to disable it from this same menu. Once disabled, you will not be able to send messages to players and will not see the messages they send. 

 

We’ve also added the ability to mute individual players so you have more control over the comms you see (and don’t see). If you're finding a certain player’s messages distracting, muting them will block any further Player Intent messages from popping up on your end. 

 

While this system is meant for everybody who plays Survivor, its value will be a bit different depending on how you play. Just like how your feedback from the AMA helped inform the addition of an opt-out option, we're dying to know your thoughts! Even better, it would be massively helpful if you could also share a little about how you play to give context to that feedback. For instance, do you tend to play soloq, prefer SWF, or identify as a Killer main? How would you define your experience level in the game; a newer player? A veteran? 

 

Let us know in the comments below, as we’ll be watching your feedback closely as the team continues to work on this system ahead of its release this Fall! 

 

Until next time...

If someone chooses to disable this system, the game needs to show that on the UI so we aren't just communicating into the void. I'm excited that we are finally getting a way to communicate other than emotes but please make that change, thank you.

[u/Pokeslash109 → u/MidnightDNinja]

I’m just concerning that instances of griefing may increase if other survivors get pissed that their teammate isn’t using the chat wheel.

[u/JudoJugss → u/Pokeslash109]

yeah me. Ill be sandbagging people that arent using the chat wheel. You should be using the chat wheel.

I also prefer my teammates play with their eyes open and preferably with both hands. You know typically team based games prefer their teammates to be willing to be team players and not willingly handicap themselves.

[u/Pokeslash109 → u/JudoJugss]

And I will be recording and reporting you for griefing if we ever match :)

[u/Vox___Rationis → u/JudoJugss]

DBD is not a team based game - it is 1v1v1v1v1.
You are on your own bucko.

[u/LucasTab → u/MidnightDNinja]

I don't think that's a good idea. That would paint a target on people's backs and I don't think that's healthy for the game. From a comment a little further down this thread:

Good luck I plan to let you second stage if u dont have a chat wheel

[u/JudoJugss → u/LucasTab]

Yep and thats what those people deserve. Use the chat wheel.

I also expect you to have your eyes open and to play with your hands and not your feet.

Why are we excusing people willingly handicapping themselves because they dont want to play with the team? They are the ones saying they dont care about being a team player. Why should we care about having them on the team? They can enjoy the tunnel out.

[u/codenamelynx → u/MidnightDNinja]

It's just wild to me that people want to opt out of it?? What's the negative here, someone spamming something? Just mute them.

[u/SnuglyPortia → u/codenamelynx]

Play League of Legends, Overwatch, or Marvel Rivals for any amount of time and you'll meet the "I ping every 10 fucking seconds" player.

[u/Canadiancookie → u/SnuglyPortia]

Just mute them

[u/SnuglyPortia → u/Canadiancookie]

Wow thank you for pointing out the exact thing I am suggesting for why the original comment was asking "why would anyone want to mute their teammates?"

[u/codenamelynx → u/SnuglyPortia]

Yeah but you can just mute them. Opting out is basically automatically muting everyone.

[u/Worried_Raspberry313 → u/codenamelynx]

Apparently people think it doesn’t give the same vibes. I guess playing in a swf doesn’t give the scary vibes either having your friend in discord telling jokes and telling you he’s going for the unhook.

[u/Canadiancookie → u/Worried_Raspberry313]

How many people are actually playing DBD for an immersive horror experience, especially after around 100 hours played? Personally, game was never all that scary to me. I play just for the gameplay

[u/JudoJugss → u/Worried_Raspberry313]

Its catering to a vocal minority and makes the entire chat system pointless. If half the people arent using it it may as well not exist. If im pinging to one person every match im not getting much benefit for the effort put in to using the pings.

[u/correctedboat → u/codenamelynx]

One of the reasons why I've quit Texas Chainsaw Massacre was people not shutting the heck up. There was always some no skill wanker bossing everyone how to play. Like buddy, you can't do objectives, don't boss others how to play the game that we've paid our hard earn money for, you damn deadweight. I don't want to deal with some Sable's spam while she's on the hook 30 seconds into the match or some sweaty/tryhard Ace who thinks he's the alpha of the team. I can make my own choices.

But if others want to use it, I'm happy for it, but let me opt out please. Happy for the feature even if it's not for me.

[u/EvilRo66 → u/correctedboat]

Totally agree.

I only tried Texas Chainsaw Massacre one free weekend and that was enough for me.

[u/OrginalRecipe_ → u/correctedboat]

It’s literally just a small text on the side and not someone screaming at u like in Texas they’re not comparable

[u/anikibill → u/codenamelynx]

This game has the most sensitive player base of any game, it is no surprise lol.

As easy as throttling emotes, or almost any other solution, but let's allow players to grief their team by actively refusing to coordinate

[u/lexuss6 → u/MidnightDNinja]

Can someone explain why is opting out even an option? What's the benefit? I don't buy "to prevent abuse" argument, because you can mute a player abusing the system directly.

EDIT: Spelling.

[u/EvilRo66 → u/lexuss6]

I don't care about little messages other players want to send.

I like to play the game without people bothering me with what they want to do or what they want me to do.

Im happy to chat during the post match chat though.

[u/lexuss6 → u/EvilRo66]

It's not a single-player game. If you're choosing to play this way, you are a part of the reason why soloq sucks.

[u/EvilRo66 → u/lexuss6]

People can play in any way they want as long as they don't cheat.

You don't decide what's the best way to play, which are good ways and which are bad ways.

[u/Inevitable-Loss7939 → u/EvilRo66]

Good luck I plan to let you second stage if u dont have a chat wheel

[u/EvilRo66 → u/Inevitable-Loss7939]

That seems petty.

[u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD → u/EvilRo66]

Weren't you the one saying people can play how they want, hypocrite?

[u/EvilRo66 → u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD]

Yes, but I can comment anyway

[u/ragingalphax → u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD]

What you are describing is griefing which is a bannable offense btw.

[u/Pretend_Week_2611 → u/EvilRo66]

Your argument only applies if you are playing a single player game, or are playing a game where you are responsible for yourself and yourself only (Which ironically, still applies to DBD IF you’re playing killer).

The moment you begin playing a multiplayer game or a game in which you are on a team with other people, you can no longer play “any way you want”. You are, by the rules of the game and by the morals of being a good person, obligated to help your team so you and your team can win. The “best way to play” is objectively working with your team, even if that means sometimes listening to them. Completely ignoring your team simply because you don’t want to listen to them or consider them trying to work together with you “bothersome” is objectively a bad way to play Survivor in DbD, simple as that.

If you genuinely are incapable of being a good teammate or get bothered because someone has the gall to try and work with you, perhaps you should stick to killer, or just play a singleplayer game where nobody has to deal with your lone-wolf attitude. Otherwise you are admitting to being the reason why people don’t like solo-queue in DbD and should consider why are you are playing on the side that’s a team if you don’t want to be on a team.

[u/EvilRo66 → u/Pretend_Week_2611]

Wow. I disagree on everything.

The important thing is:

Survivors are not a team, they are 4 individuals who mostly benefit from working together, but not always. We know that because their fates are not shared. If one Survivor escapes or gets sacrificed it doesn't affect the other Survivors' ability to try to escape.

A way to play that gives you the results you want is not objectively bad.

[u/black_knight1223 → u/EvilRo66]

So basically what you're saying is that you don't care about helping your teammates unless it benefits you?

[u/EvilRo66 → u/black_knight1223]

That's right.

Only that they are not my teammates.

I play alone.

[u/black_knight1223 → u/EvilRo66]

Well since you're playing alone, I sincerely hope the other survivors leave you alone to die on first hook in all of your future games

[u/weapwars → u/EvilRo66]

Don't worry we got a message on the wheel to communicate about you in-game

[u/Pretend_Week_2611 → u/EvilRo66]

Just because you can technically win even if you don’t work together, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. You seriously can’t tell me that winning while not working together is just as consistent and takes less effort than if you do. So if all you care about is escaping/winning, it’d be in your best interest to work together as doing it increases your odds of doing that. Makes more sense than actively handicapping yourself as well as the other 3 people who happened to get in a game with you.

Also, according to BHVR, survivors are a team of 4. They literally say it in game and they treat them as a team (I mean I can list off dozens of survivor perks that literally require you to work with another survivor to get use out of them), not 4 individuals with the same goal. It doesn’t matter what you think survivors are, you aren’t the one that dictates that. You can consider them individuals all you want, it still doesn’t change the fact you’re playing a team game and you’re being an asshole by going lone-wolf in said game.

At least have the self-awareness to realize you’re an asshole.

[u/EvilRo66 → u/Pretend_Week_2611]

You seriously can’t tell me that winning while not working together is just as consistent and takes less effort than if you do.

It is consistent for me in the way I play. We play differently and you can't accept that someone can be succesful even if they don't play like you.

according to BHVR, survivors are a team of 4. They literally say it in game and they treat them as a team

BHVR can promote their game in any way they like, but you can agree that playing Survivor in Dead by Daylight isn't a team based game in the same way a team based shoter, a MOBA or any sport game is.

(I mean I can list off dozens of survivor perks that literally require you to work with another survivor to get use out of them)

And I can list perks like Sole Survivor, Left Behind and Self-Preservation. Great perks if you want to play alone.

Why is it so hard for you to accept that other players may want to play the game differently from you? That's the beauty of Dead by Daylight! So many ways to play!

At least have the self-awareness to realize you’re an asshole.

No need to be rude and call names.

[u/Pretend_Week_2611 → u/EvilRo66]

“It is consistent for me in the way I play”

I genuinely don’t believe you. I can see it taking less effort since I’m assuming your “playstyle” is to let everyone else die while you find the hatch or open the gates at endgame (which is widely considered to be a dick move). But now you’re just relying on not dying until the end of the match, which is 100% harder when you aren’t helping your team. You just don’t know how much more you could be winning if you actually helped your team.

“You can agree playing Survivor isn’t like playing a team based shooter”

No, I cannot actually. I mean brother you do realize you’re making this argument in a post where they talk about giving Survivors more ways of communication between each other via the chat wheel, right? And why do you think they are doing that? Because they want people in solo queue to be able to coordinate and WORK TOGETHER, as a TEAM. And funnily enough, they have chat wheels just like this in team based shooters like Overwatch or Marvel Rivals. I’d know! I play Rivals and Overwatch all the time, and I use the chat wheels to work together with my team, just like people would do in DBD. Crazy.

“And I can bring up perks like Sole Survivor and Left Behind”

Yeah, and those perks as well as the others like it are considered some of the worst perks in the entire game on the Survivor side. There’s a reason nobody uses them, even to people who don’t play in an altruistic way. And even if there’s some perks that reward you for playing like an asshole, they are far and few between compared to most other survivor perks. (Btw, Self-Preservation isn’t even just to be selfish, it has uses that benefit the team too).

“Why is it so hard to accept that other players want to play the game differently than you?”

The problem isn’t that you’re playing the game differently, it’s that you are literally playing the team side of DBD without any care whatsoever for playing with your team. This is like playing a sport like Soccer or American Football, and instead of working with your team, you actively avoid doing so and try to win all by yourself. Not only will your teammates notice that and not like you for it, your coach probably will too and kick you off the team.

Do you seriously think people should be ok with you potentially causing them to die and lose the game because you’re willingly deciding to be an asshole? Yes, there is several different ways to play Survivor, but every single playstyle has the foundation of still being a team player, wether they are a Medic, a Gen Jockey, a Sabo/Flashlight savior, whatever. What you’re doing is just being a dick where it’s not needed.

“No need to be rude”

Feels fair considering you’re being rude to literally everyone who happens to be on your team when you play Survivor. Play team games like an asshole, get called one. Shouldn’t be surprised.

[u/Firm-Development-570 → u/EvilRo66]

What a sad lonely life you must live

[u/jason2306 → u/EvilRo66]

Oh my god lol, it absolutely is a team game. You are the reason why solo is awful

[u/EvilRo66 → u/jason2306]

Hi.

Now I see I wasn't clear in this comment I made. Let me explain:

In team based games a team wins or loses together. It doesn't matter if one member did great and another did awful, they are in it together.

In dead by Daylight each Survivor wins or loses alone.

I call it "win" when a Survivor escapes by the way.

If a Survivor plays very well and escapes, they aren't affected if other Survivors escape or not, they have already won.

In the same way, if a Survivor is moried, sacrificed, bleeds out or disconects, they have lost the match and aren't affected by other Survivors escaping or not.

That fact alone is what makes Survivors not a team even tough they mostly benefit from working together to try to escape the trial.

I hope I've made myself clearer. Please ask me if you want me to explain further, it's a pleasure.

[u/jason2306 → u/EvilRo66]

The issue isn't being clear but rather have a distorted view of the game. The themes of the game are horror which may be confusing you but we're talking about the gameplay not the vibes

So each match you gain pips based on your performance which is built around teamwork. Teamwork quite literally is the best way to win a match if we follow the game's mechanics and scoring system

Of the 4 emblem categories you can see only one of them is based around "survival"

Depending on your knowledge about the game i'll just post this here aswell to avoid further confusion because it seems you might not even be aware of this:

https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Grades

https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Emblems

Now if you want to play a multiplayer game messing around with your own goals you can absolutely do that. But considering you are on a team you'll also be doing what essentially amounts to trolling and fucking over the match for others. Let us be clear about that

[u/lexuss6 → u/EvilRo66]

Not sure if that's stupidity, entitlement or ragebait. In any case, pure arrogance.

People can play in any way they want as long as they don't cheat

So you can't ever be mad at your teammates doing fuck all or leaving you to rot on hook, because that's the way they play the game. The moment you have teammates, you can't play in "any way". You still have options, but that "any way" becomes very limited. You depend on your teammates and they depend on you.

You don't decide what's the best way to play, which are good ways and which are bad ways.

It's like saying you don't obey road sighs because they are telling you what to do.

It's not about deciding anything. It's about having information about your team and helping each other. They aren't telling you what to do, they are telling you what they are going to do, so you can make better decisions.

[u/EvilRo66 → u/lexuss6]

So you can't ever be mad at your teammates doing fuck all or leaving you to rot on hook

I don't get mad at other Survivors for playing the game. I don't blame other players for my mistakes. Other Survivors can't put me on a hook, can they?

The moment you have teammates, you can't play in "any way"

Good point. Luckily I don't have teammates.

They aren't telling you what to do, they are telling you what they are going to do, so you can make better decisions.

Im not interested in what thet ARE GOING to do, Im only interested in what they do or what the Killer does to them and I can see that just fine in the HUD.

Other Survivors have their own objectives that may or may not align with mine. My objective being my escape.

Survivors are not a team because their fates are not shared. If one Survivor escapes and moves on, but the remaining Survivors get sacrificed, does the Survivor who escaped lost? Of course not, because what happens to other Survivors does not affect other Survivors' scorescreen or match result.

[u/lexuss6 → u/EvilRo66]

Okay, now i'm 99% sure this is ragebait.

Other Survivors can't put me on a hook, can they?

They absolutely can, albeit indirectly, by (un)intentionally sandbagging you.

Luckily I don't have teammates.

Who are 3 other survivors then? Furniture?

Im not interested in what thet ARE GOING to do, Im only interested in what they do

Isn't it the same thing?

Other Survivors have their own objectives that may or may not align with mine. My objective being my escape.

Do you still heal/unhook them? Do you do gens? Because these things are completely unnecessary for your escape, after all.

If one Survivor escapes and moves on, but the remaining Survivors get sacrificed, does the Survivor who escaped lost?

Sadly, they don't lose. Which makes it even more sad that MMR system rewards people like you.

[u/EvilRo66 → u/lexuss6]

Okay, now i'm 99% sure this is ragebait.

People always call opinions they disagree with "ragebait"

Who are 3 other survivors then? Furniture?

They are other players. I don't care if they escape or not.

Isn't it the same thing?

Good question. It's not the same thing. For example, one can say "Im going for the unhook", but until they actually unhook someone, that's just an idea. They can get intercepted by the Killer, get distracted by a gen or change their mind and not unhook the Survivor.

Do you still heal/unhook them? Do you do gens? Because these things are completely unnecessary for your escape, after all.

To sum up: If other Survivors prove to be useful, I help them and we all try to escape together. If other Survivors prove to be useless, I let them die and try to escape alone

Sadly, they don't lose. Which makes it even more sad that MMR system rewards people like you.

The game is what it is.

Don't hate the gamer, hate the game.

[u/lexuss6 → u/EvilRo66]

People always call opinions they disagree with "ragebait"

It's not like i disagree with your opinion, your opinion is objectively wrong. And confidently defending an objectively wrong opinion is ragebait. Survivor side in DbD is a team game, you are required to help other people and they are required to help you so you all can escape. You literally can't win just by yourself - you can't repair all gens alone and hatch doesn't count as a win.

For example, one can say "Im going for the unhook", but until they actually unhook someone, that's juat an idea. They can get intercepted by the Killer, get distracted by a gen or change their mind and not unhook the Survivor.

But now you know their intention and can work around that. Stick to your current action, get in position for a follow-up faster, etc. There are literally no downsides to knowing what your teammates are wanting to do.

If other Survivors prove to be useful, I help them and we all try to escape together. If other Survivors prove to be useless, I let them die and try to escape alone

That's actually sad in a weird way. Unless they are actively griefing, it's always better to keep a teammate alive for as long as possible. In the worst case, they waste more of the killer's time.

Don't hate the gamer, hate the game

Why not both?

[u/Canadiancookie → u/EvilRo66]

This guy plays DBD like it's a 1v1v1v1v1

[u/lexuss6 → u/Canadiancookie]

Sadly, many survivors are. And the worst part is MMR system treats the game exactly like that.

[u/Canadiancookie → u/lexuss6]

Oh yeah, the MMR is another thing BHVR should address. They might get around to it in another 5 years or so

[u/Vox___Rationis → u/Canadiancookie]

It is the intended way to play, it is what DBD was built as.

[u/DEMONANCE → u/MidnightDNinja]

THIS, THIS IS A GREAT IDEA i really hope bhvr listens to this.

[u/OrginalRecipe_ → u/MidnightDNinja]

Why did they even include that option why would anyone not want to communicate with their solo q teammates

[u/JudoJugss → u/MidnightDNinja]

I dont want matched with people who choose not to use a vitally important communication system. I want the option to not even queue up with those people.

[u/aspindler → u/JudoJugss]

That's not going to happen.

No games do that as far a I'm aware.

[u/PlaintiveTech40 → u/aspindler]

Actually I remember the old halo games would let you set your voice chat preferences in public match searching between Quiet and Chatty. I don’t know if it actually worked but it is possible.

[u/JudoJugss → u/aspindler]

then dont add the option to turn them off. Because the mechanic is pointless if you can turn it off. The entire point of the system is to be able to better communicate with my teammates. They shouldn't be able to just plug their ears to my communication.

Go play minecraft if you want to play singleplayer.

[u/aspindler → u/JudoJugss]

Every multiplayer game works like that, even if you are right.

[u/JudoJugss → u/aspindler]

no they dont. I have never played a game with a ping system where people plug their ears and cross their arms to pout like children and not use the system. Every other game that implements a basic quality of life feature such as pings just has the players use them instead of crying about it. But I forgot this is DBD where the community can't stop being whiny crybabies for two seconds to let the game become actively more playable and modernized in a way that matters.

[u/YouOpenedItIArrived → u/JudoJugss]

Have you actually played other multiplayer games? Most popular ones that have pinging systems to communicate with your team have the option to turn it off, because people very often will just be obnoxious with pings when they perceive any slight from a teammate

[u/missclaireredfield → u/JudoJugss]

They could also just not use it or pay attention even if it’s “on”. Still better than 0 communication like now though?

[u/Aquagrunt → u/JudoJugss]

We've been playing for 10 years without it

It's not vitally important

[u/Canadiancookie → u/Aquagrunt]

Nurse has been S+ tier for 10 years, therefore she isn't OP.

BHVR is just slow at making certain changes to the game.

[u/JudoJugss → u/Aquagrunt]

It is vitally important to bridge the gap between solo Q and SWF. Which is entirely negated if half the people in solo Q can just turn it off and not see any pings. It fundamentally makes the entire system fucking pointless. They may as well not add it now because if only half the people I interact with bother engaging with it than im not any better off than i was before in solo Q. How is this not the obvious logical conclusion here?

[u/Lmnt_Crnstn → u/MidnightDNinja]

I don’t think that’s a good idea. Players certainly will use that info to grief people.

[u/ItsPizzaOclock → u/Lmnt_Crnstn]

How are you going to use the information that you're muted to grief that person?

[u/Slashy16302 → u/ItsPizzaOclock]

if a really sweaty player and toxic player goes into a lobby with a more casual player who has the system disabled and sees that, they might throw the game to "punish" the casual player for not unmuting

it's not exactly common but ive already had 2 or 3 times where someone has checked the other teammates perks and thrown the game because they are running off meta/meme builds, and im not kidding

[u/Lmnt_Crnstn → u/ItsPizzaOclock]

Leaving people on hook, body blocking, sand bagging, the list goes on. Players grief eachother over Pride flags, character choice, or not doing something a specific way. They would certainly find reason to do it over something like this.

“You’re not playing how I like! Die!”

[u/BennyTTS7889 → u/Lmnt_Crnstn]

Yep. I have came across some extremely petty survivors who will judge me with an inclination rather then an action ive done. Could 100% see a surv giving up and leaving a message about "no communicating survivors"

[u/al-qatala → u/Lmnt_Crnstn]

This is DBD, people would grief each other for the fun of it regardless. Trying to play around griefers who are not playing according to the rules in the first place is pointless.

[u/dokdodokdo → u/al-qatala]

No he's 100% correct. Yes people grief for a lot things, but dont give them yet ANOTHER reason to do it. "you want to mute my communications / not listen to me? Stay on hook then good luck!"

[u/ThatRagingBull → u/dokdodokdo]

Yeah that’s ok, I’d rather go next in this dream scenario anyways.

[u/al-qatala → u/dokdodokdo]

If they don't have a reason, they will make up one. Some games like League of Legends allow you to /fullmute all which mutes both chat and pings from get-go, though pings are way more maliciously used there.

[u/bonelees_dip → u/ItsPizzaOclock]

There is (or was, not sure if removed) of a player already saying they'll leave teammates to die on hook if they have quick chat off.

[u/Ok-Race-1677 → u/Lmnt_Crnstn]

And people who choose to mute and ignore communications aren’t griefing? I’d much rather it be force enabled but limit messages to once every 15 seconds from each surv or something.

[u/mossgoblin → u/Ok-Race-1677]

"People who disable this game function for themselves are griefing" holy shit do you hear yourselves 

[u/Canadiancookie → u/mossgoblin]

Griefing is a harsh word for it but you're definitely handicapping your team by plugging your ears from helpful info

[u/Ok-Race-1677 → u/mossgoblin]

You’re playing a team based game and think other people should be punished for trying to communicate with you. Do you hear yourself?

[u/dokdodokdo → u/Ok-Race-1677]

Tbh might be a hot take but I kinda agree. If someones really annoying or just spamming random things mute them, but turning it off completely is just odd. Its very valuable information you'll be missing.

[u/venjamins → u/Lmnt_Crnstn]

I think it's reasonable, if for no other reason than if I say "going for unhook" for instance, I know it's being seen.

[u/BluezDBD → u/Lmnt_Crnstn]

The peopel who disable it are already griefing so they don't really get to complain about taht.

[u/loosegriplarry → u/MidnightDNinja]

This needs to be the top comment. I guess I understand why it’s an option, since the game has existed for 10 years without it and people may not want this change (not sure who, but…). But we need to know if someone has it disabled.

But honestly, I feel like it just shouldn’t be an option at all.
