Re: Subtle cheaters
I used to play a “guess the killer” game with a friend during the loading screen. After he got it right ten times in a row, I was baffled. He finally admitted he was using a tool that shows the killer and lobby loadout, saying it was great for slotting Calm Spirit vs Doctor.. etc. I stopped playing with him after that.
Re: Subtle cheaters
Not surprised. Someone I know was given a tool by a friend that shows the killer and the full loadout in the lobby. They have used it since 2019 without any real risk. People who know this scene still laugh at the so called protection in DBD and at those who believe EAC here is a shield.
The pattern is simple. If it stays subtle, like a brief wall hack or swapping perks after seeing the lobby, nothing happens. There is no real automatic server side validation, so the server accepts far too much from the client. I doubt that will change any time soon.
And yes, the issue keeps getting downplayed while the next Feng or Sable skins roll out. That part always seems to have top priority.
Improvements to animations
i think the animations of the game need another pass
Healing especially needs to be improved greatly at least for healing someone else
It does not look horror themed when someone crouches over you and rubs your back and the sfx is apparently suturing or something like that idk
Back in 5.4 ptb with the clown rework debut there were scrapped transition animations for survivor
Maybe devs can bring this back properly matching the current locomotion and speed, because i think they were really good and made the game feel higher quality
some mori animations, especially the old ones, look stiff and poor in comparison to new but it’s not as important
If this game wants to appeal to casual players or simply become visually better overall then i think these are needed.
