The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

The endgame ruins the game on survivors side.

Pipping up above level 4 is ridiculously hard and basically just ruins the game it stops being any fun because its a #########' struggle just to keep ur current pip. especially with try hard killers that tunnel. Everybit of the enjoyment I used to get outta this game has just faceplanted upon trying to get the last 4 ranks for the achievement all this game does it stress me out now. The requirements should be lowered to pip up at the end for real or at the very last make it not so easy to depip when u get tunneled. and an escape should GUARANTEE u don't depip. Escaping and depipping is disgusting!

I used to think tunneling was a legit strat as killer to increase ur odds of getting them all but now I'm ashamed I employed that tactic so much. It really is deplorable with how difficult it is to maintain pip.

    Mate, with the best will in the world, you probably just need to practice and get better.

    Right now the game has a massive problem with Killer/Survivor Ratio. The disparity between how hard it is to rank up as Killer and how easy it is to rank up as Survivor has actually caused a pretty big problem with the matchmaking because there aren't enough killers at Red Ranks.

    This is why you end up with a ton of Killers at purple ranks going up against whole teams of Red Rank Killers because the Developers have flat out said in one of their OWN POSTS that correctly matching up ranks is far lower on their priority list than just getting people games. The developers have admitted this is an issue but they have no solution for it. If you're having trouble ranking up, it's not the game. It's you.

    Not trying to be mean, just telling the truth.

    @Calchexxiss Well I'm sorry we can't all have the luck of u but when ur at almost rank 2 then u get 3 games in a row with randoms that instantly disconnect upon getting hit (2 in the last one) in the first 2 seconds and then the killer insists on try harding, then the next two games after that u get tunneled hard and by that time you've deranked to 4. Its just a pretty ######### system overall they shoulda just had the achievement for reaching rank 5 if its gonna be that difficult then the other 4 coulda been bragging rights. I mean u can freaking escape, repair 2 gens get 2 peeps off hook heal 1 person and escape 2 chases and still just break even I know cause I literally just did it this system is broke af

    I don't have the problem u do, I play survivor main and I am pretty much always at rank one, of course there are those moments, where u have super bad luck and get into rounds with people that just kill their selfes right of the bet, or dc, but the bigger issue are camping or tunneling killers, because u really can't do ######### about them, and that are rounds where u derank and think about deinstalling the game.

    Sorry but if anything the pipping system should be increased. You'd be surprised how many boosted players are at red ranks. If you watch any streamer and they say someone is a "potato" then that tell you exactly how easy it is to rank up.

    If you escaped and depiped then one of two things happened

    1.Killer went AFK

    2.You didn’t do jack ######### and got carried by your teammates or took the hatch

    the first scenario is very uncommon but the second one happens more than it should and those types of players don’t deserve to be in any rank above 10

    There are too many survivors in high ranks, and this creates a vacuum that draws up killers from lower ranks. This means that it should be harder for survivors to pip, not easier. However, I do feel your frustration about escaping and not pipping (not that it's a common situation for me cus I die....a lot), and I would support suggestions that make escaping sure to not depip a survivor.

    Yeah pipping is definitely WAY to easy. I like to think I'm decent but I'm rank 9 right now and definitely don't feel I deserve it. Maybe 12 or something. Same thing with killer, I'm pretty decent but I shouldn't be rank 7, maybe 9-10.

    I just hate the fact they lock an achievement behind a task that is so entirely dependant on wether or not ur teammates feel like ragequitting or the killer feels like being a dick and facecamming u after ur first hook until u die. This is especially frustrating when ur like 2 pips away from Rank 1 and then it happens like 3 or 4 games in a row and guess what... back to 3!

    Oh oh or I love this one have u heard the one about the ######### Leatherface that puts u in the basement and sits at the bottom of the stairs until u struggle out that's a knee slapper!

    Ranking up on both sides is far to easy as possibly more than half of redranks dont belong even into purples, skill wise. Last season i just played around 8 hours as survivor to get from 5 to 1. And as killer i once played two games a day and got easily back to 1 from 13.

    Well all I'm really saying is the system they got in place rn needs a bit of reworking when queing solo and randoms DC within the first like 2minutes of the match considerably stacking the odds against u or when u are tunneled by killer or basement camped and u depip because of it its a pain. Especially if ur someone like me who doesn't give a damn about ur rank. I literally just want to achievement for completions sake after that I don't care if I depip back to 20 w/e and I've gotten so close within a pip or 2 so many times only to have a streak of badluck with teammates DCing or tunnelers knocking me then camping or tunneling me within the first minute or 2 and when u have a string of these games in a row knocking u all the way back down to like 4 it becomes extremely frustrating.
