Re: Play while you wait should be obvious proof
The queues are always a perfect example of why 2v8 should never be added permanently.
No one wants to wait half an hour for one killer match.
Additionally, with 2v8 being a 2-4 week thing that comes every once in a while, it retains a bit of novelty. You lose that if it's a permanent addition
Re: Bloodpoints earned per match needs to be boosted
The queue bonuses also seem to have gone down a lot in recent times, it used to be that the minimum was usually +25%, but now it rarely goes above +10%. In 2v8 the survivor queue bonus is looking pretty sad at the moment too. All in all the grinding feels awful, you need to play at least 4-5 hours to get a prestige level. Sure not all your characters need to be p100, but when you play multiple survivors or killers, your bloodpoints get stretched pretty thin. At the very least, BP gains should be doubled across the board, and they should also give a bonus to players who still try in a losing match, because coming out of a miserable drawn out game where you know you had no hope with only 15k points feels really bad.
Re: Diminishing Returns Sucks
This just proves once again that they don't know their own game and they don't play their own game either.

I would never make anyone learn the game on Trapper lol. legions way better for that.
A bizarre discovery (Long post, TL;DR below)
Back when DbD was new, My killer main was Nurse. I played her relentlessly for months, got good enough to have fun and take up any challenge the survivors threw my way, and life was… somehow… bad.
I didn't know what was wrong, but any time I queued up to play Nurse, I felt the most intense Anxiety, and it got to the point that I couldn't stand it anymore. Just the act of selecting her and clicking the search lobby button had me tensing up with stress, which I didn't get with any other killer, so after having enough, I stopped playing her all together. Even years later, if I ever queued up as her for old times sake, I'd play maybe 1 or 2 matches, and it was all I could take before I moved on to someone else.
As mentioned, I never got this level of stress queuing up as any of the other killers until I played Artist, and so, a couple of weeks after her release, I stopped playing her too. I figured that like Nurse, Artists skill ceiling must've been too high for me, or there's something in her mechanics that caused my anxiety, despite the fact that I can play other high skill ceiling killers like Singularity with ease, but it turns out I've been wrong all this time.
Todays they released the Collector's Curse skin for Nurse, and I was amazed by it so much, that I get the premium pass, and despite my trepidation of playing Nurse again after all this time, I was eager to give it a go even if only for a couple of rounds. The skin is amazing, no doubt, and it will be worth tiering up in the rift to try and get the other 2 recolors, but here's the thing: I've been playing Nurse for Hours using the new skin… with no anxiety at all.
After I realized this, I was completely shocked that I was having so much fun again, but didn't understand why. Then after taking a small break to calm down and think about it, there's only 1 explanation for why she doesn't bother me anymore: Her vocal noises.
This skin, as far as I know, is the only skin for Nurse that features a completely different set of sounds that are much lower in tone, volume, and lot less screechy. I decided to test this theory by going back to my old favorite skin for her, and sure enough, 2 matches in and I was grinding my teeth feeling stressed again, but I go back to the new skin and bam… Anxiety is gone! This also kinda makes sense for me when it comes to Artist too, as she's always making high pitched screechy noises, so maybe all I need to do for her is get a less high pitched skin as well.
I know this is a Bizarre conclusion/discovery, but is anyone in the same boat as me regarding Nurses Screeching, and undue amounts of stress it causes? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this TBH, and am just wondering If I'm not alone.
TL;DR:
Turns out, Nurse's vocal noises have been giving me anxiety for years (Artist too), forcing me to stop playing her, but the new skin changed all that, and now I can play Nurse again Anxiety free! I'm confounded by this discovery tbh. Anyone else have the same issue?
Re: Rant: Myers is the most skillless and most unenjoyable killer to go against
"Rework" Is a word that should not be said around these parts. lol
That word always leads to bad roads.
Re: Rant: Myers is the most skillless and most unenjoyable killer to go against
I miss my old Myers…
The most annoying part of the new Myers is how fast he gets to his T3. Especially in late game scenarios.
Okay guys.
Gates are open we wait till Myers loses T3 snatch last man from hook and escape. Easy plan….
Myers loses T3
Okay now go in!
1 second later
And… he is T3 again…
Re: Fast Track and perk activation requirements
People complaining about perks "rewarding losing" and "supporting selfish gameplay" should get their heads out of the clouds.
So what if you gain a small benefit to offset the fact you are losing hard? If you are losing that hard, then not even Rancor is saving you. If everyone goes down 5 seconds into a chase, not even Fast Track can save you.
Fast Track was strong. Sure. But the theme was never the issue because this perk was like this for years. The BNP effect was the issue.
Re: Looking for a recap of what's new in 2v8? We've got you!
