Best Of

I'm neutral because I'm yet to read the manga, but it's like 2nd on my list of media to consume, I just procrastinate a lot.

I genuinely like the contrast between her usual haunting moans and her sudden, shrill attack/stun noises. It feels like they wanted her to be pitiable, which she is by her story, but also show that she's absolutely consumed by rage that comes out in these moments.

The only thing that bothers me about Spirit is her attacking noise. It feels kinda of out of genre, like a fighting game attack. It feels one step below a literal "Hi-yah!" and I find that a bit hard to fully take seriously. I think it'd be better if it was more feral sounding to really sell how much rage drives her.

Say you didn't read my post without saying you didn't read my post. I'm not saying make her the same as xeno (I'm using it as an example, a parallel), I'm not saying nerf her power or rework her. I'm saying give survivors a way to counter her, since she currently has no counter. You need to read it in detail before criticising the suggestions.

Having a counter would also give cause to bump her movement up to 4.4 so she doesn't have to rely totally on her power.

I'm sorry, but I still don't understand why we're now balancing the game around the info that SWFs can get from voice chat (in other words, by using a tool to gain an unfair advantage that doesn't exist within the game).

I still think it will be a huge mistake to begin balancing DBD around the strength of SWF, but if the game is really going to go in this direction, you may as well just bite the bullet and add voice chat (then buff/rework killers and perks accordingly).

Against noobs/casuals or survivors that know what they are doing? Because that list of easy to win killers is long with the former.

Nonsense? Ha.

As if it doesn't reflect in community reception across multiple platforms when a new killer that isn't garbage is introduced or when a previously weaker killer is no longer a meme?

Well devils advocate his design was very outdated and bad I think the mistake was Slaughtering strike itself. Myers being able to enter in and out of stealth was actually a great change in my opinion. So it's not like the rework was all bad

Even if they got rid of that he still has basekit fast kicks, add-ons to kick faster and perks to make kicks even faster. People will just move from one thing to the next

You have to wait until the survivor is fully picked up, but as you have seen, pressing M1 will cancel it. It cancels power struggle too. I don't know why but it's been like that for a long time. I"m sure this bug will be labeled as a "feature" soon by the developers. "Oh uuuuh yeah, we meant for that as a counter play"

James Sunderland in Dead by Daylight is starting to feel outdated and could really use a rework, especially the face.
It’s not just that it “looks off”, it’s that we’re talking about a Legendary skin, and those are supposed to have a higher level of quality. This isn’t just any character, he’s the main protagonist of Silent Hill 2.

I understand that James was added to DBD in 2021, but now we have the 2024 remake, and the difference is very noticeable. In the remake, his face has better proportions, more detail, and most importantly, it conveys the emotional weight that defines the character. In DBD, on the other hand, he feels more generic and doesn’t fully capture his identity. And since this is a Legendary skin, it should represent the character as faithfully as possible. That’s part of what players expect when paying for this kind of content, something that truly feels like the real character, not a simplified version.For that reason, I believe a facial rework based on the Silent Hill 2 would be the right move. It would not only improve the visual quality, but also do justice to how important James is within the franchise.

I'll never understand why Myers was reworked in the first place.

Honestly, I think the main reason why they shoehorned this Rework in (if I remember correctly, it wasnt even on a Roadmap), was because they lost the license. And with the Rework and making Myers like he is, they ensured that basically everyone would buy the Killer before he leaves DBD.

And they also could go crazy with the Rework, because what would the license holders do if they dont like it? Take away the license?

But yeah, thematically he was very fitting and now he does not fit at all. And I repeat, I am very sure that his original concept could have been buffed without issues.
