Re: Pig Trapping and stalking you until you're dead.
As others have said before, a Pig that does this strategy, is actively throwing the game. She will probably (not guaranteed) get one kill and that's it. Any further kills are entirely on the survivors playing poorly.
A Pig playing this way isn't using the power correctly by any means. For me, it's a last resort strategy to get at least one kill against extremely strong teams when I already lost 4-all gens and only got one hook.
The strongest Pig is the Pig that spreads traps, tracks searches and survivor patching and rarely ever tunnels.
Re: Why are we not doing anything about these Gens Speeds?
I imagine if you hadn't immediately accused him of "purposefully try[ing] to misunderstand" what you were saying, your other posts might have performed better.
I don't make posts to be popular, I make them to help people get out of their own heads and try to improve the game itself. The point of paradoxes like the chicken and the egg is that they are considered paradoxes if you focus on details instead of taking in the overall philosophical concept, like the Ship of Theseus or the Epimenides paradox. The point of them is to not submit to your visceral reaction but to take in the concept they convey, then apply it to the conundrum at hand. So by losing the forest for the trees, especially when the meaning subsequently gets explained and instead doubling down on said detail, that shows a lack of willingness to understand the concept being conveyed. So yes, its exhausting to have your point not only missed but have arguments thrown at you as if you must be the opposition. Thats cognitive dissonance, and a complete rejection of the dialectical process.
I post this stuff for the same reason my account is almost as old as the game itself. I'd rather see the game improve than just "get mine." The fact that neutral positions that prioritize game health over personal perspectives get derailed like this is why nothing ever gets fixed with this game, and tunneling is a perfect example. But its more fun to have back and forth fights so why bother.
Re: Why are we not doing anything about these Gens Speeds?
People can have bias and see past it, as long as they allow themselves to. Its a type of personal growth that people need to have internally, and there is a lot that can be (and often is) learned from opposing perspectives. After years this nonsense is groundhog day when they refuse to, but its still worth at least trying to hear them out, assuming they remotely offer the same courtesy.
Re: Why are we not doing anything about these Gens Speeds?
Like I already said, the paradox isn't about which one is first, since that will be subjective. And yes, that includes 6.1, and I haven't been trying to argue the opposite yet thats how my statement continues to be misinterpreted. I quoted BOTH sides of the conundrum for a reason, yet there's nothing but cognitive dissonance assuming I MUST agree with the opposite of the one people personally believe. You can blame people who have the opposite position all you want, but the responses the post has been getting has basically been people telling on themselves about their own bias. Stop assuming anything other than blind agreement must be the polar opposite, or enjoy the constant state of warfare you help perpetuate I guess. Yet again, the paradox isn't about which one actually came first, its about the cycle. You can acknowledge it as a positive feedback loop, but even then, reverted back to justifications on a perspective about the origin which I have stated multiple times does not matter whatsoever to either the solution, nor how it would be achieved.
This is why we have the problems we have, many of which have been in the game for years, some have been caused by poorly planned solutions to previous ones, and why every solution we get will lead to more issues. The methodology will never be corrected because the argument over the chicken or the egg will never end.

I give up. You guys deserve the game you get.
Re: Am I going crazy, or is there indeed an instant mark hack for the Ghostface epidemic?
I had a Ghostface in 2v8 instamarking. Was only one match with Ghostface using that hack, rest of the Ghostface players have been normal.
Re: Am I going crazy, or is there indeed an instant mark hack for the Ghostface epidemic?
- I've had some Ghostfaces who were particularly quick at marking, but I thought it was my own distraction... actually a couple of times I had a strange feeling, but I went into the next match blaming myself
Re: Would a PVE gamemode be possible?
I wouldn't mind going against Killer bots. There's a lot of Killers I struggle against, but have no reliable way to practice against them. I'd just have to rely on random encounters and then fail hard again and not really learn anything…
Re: I’m so sick and tired of 2v8 and chaos shuffle
Aye, unfortunately they cannot please everyone and for now, this reason alone is probably why it's a good thing the events are currently a set duration. A lot of people like 2v8 as it's more casual and enables larger friend groups to play together not forgetting the novelty of no longer being alone in the killer role.
Would a PVE gamemode be possible?
Over the last few years BHVR has been experimenting with limited time game modes, some have been a success in terms of popularity like 2v8 or spices up the gameplay like Chaos Shuffle. PVE in DBD is tricky to say the least, would this be killer vs killer? Survivor vs Survivor vs Killer? It would be a interesting experiment, but i'm not sure if it would be a succesful in terms of gameplay and figuring out how survivor facing other survivors would play out. If BHVR were to experiment with a PVE type gamemode would you be up to try it or should BHVR just stick to PVP gamemodes?
