Best Of

Can't ignore what was said about players who have better awareness using the same sort of thing, it's true that they do become relatively untouchable for the lower tier M1 killers. Sprint Burst and Vigil are far too powerful. It's fine to have perks that assist your performance in chase, but you can't have perks that pardon you from needing to perform at all.

If you’re a new player, I understand your frustration for killer aura perks. However, this game isnt really about hiding anymore, even though you can. If you don’t want your aura read every match, try bringing something to hide it.

However, as you progress, you’ll learn which killers need aura perks, when your aura is being read, be able to gauge how much time you have until you’re revealed , etc etc.

Also, try playing killer with and without aura perks ( if you already haven’t) and you’ll see how important information is.

Best of luck in the fog

It's also pretty disappointing that they don't say anything about it. It makes you really angry that they don't Care at all. I'm seriously thinking about deleting the Game. I kept telling myself to just Hang in there until the new Switch came out. Well, it's been out for a year now, and there's absolutely nothing heppening with the Game. They Claim the Switch Community ist too small, which is why nothing ist being released. But why isn't ist as big as the communities on other Platforms? Maybe it's because the Game Looks like something from ten years ago. If I hadn't known dbd beforehand and someone showed it to me in the Switch, I wouldn't have bought it either simply because of the way it Looks.

Your health bar depleting also progresses the game towards its end.

You're only waiting 4 minutes if nobody comes to get you, it's the same as dying on hook if nobody comes to get you.

Knockdown strats do not stall the game out completely, the game is not being prevented from ever ending (which is what being 'held hostage' actually means).

In fact, full-team knockdown strats are high risk, macro-intensive stunts.

It's very unlikely that the killer knocks you, stands over you and doesn't continue building pressure to stop the other survivors. If the killer does decide to play that way, standing over you, not moving, then the gens will be demolished and the killer will lose the game.

It's very likely that you'll receive more than the standard 3 chances to play before you're dead if the killer does use a knockdown strategy, which isn't something you should be unhappy about (I imagine the issue has more to do with not benefitting from all the busted effects tied to getting unhooked).

Also, think about it a little more: Let's say the killer knocks somebody down at a pallet (happens a lot if they actually win the micro-game on a tile). There's another survivor nearby so the killer can't pickup lest there be a pallet/flash save, so the killer had better chase that other survivor. The knocked survivor under the pallet hits max recovery and gets picked up mid chase into your proposed free god-mode effect, body blocks the killer with it and both survivors in that encounter proceed to get away. This whole process can rinse and repeat for the entire match. This is already the way it currently is with WGLF/MFT, but you want to go ahead and make that sort of thing into a base-kit feature….How is that not complete BS toward the killer?

The difference is that each hook stage only lasts 60 seconds, and the hook actually progresses the game towards its end.

Being slugged lasts 4 minutes, and you literally can't do anything but crawl. You are forced to not play for 4 minutes. On the hook, you can at least attempt to escape or miss skill checks to sacrifice yourself and next out of a toxic match. When slugged, you don't even have the choice to die faster, and if you leave the match, you get a matchmaking penalty—unless everyone is already dead or downed.

Besides, slugging stalls the game completely. Rescuing someone who is slugged can be suicide because survivors don't get a base-kit Endurance (borrowed time) effect when picked up from the ground. The killer can just instantly redown them. You are quite literally a textbook hostage if the killer decides to play that way.

Are you suggesting Lich gets punished for double casting? Also swapping spells is already incredibly fast and you can pre select spells before the HuD option is even open
