So Can I Get A Serious Response?
So what is gonna be done now about the last second swap on survivor
This is when at 6 seconds they swap from Dwight with no item to fully kitted Kate with a key
What is gonna be done about it are we to just lobby dodge every game?
Can we just please have halfway through lock survivors into what they currently are so if they do plan to do this the killer can properly prepare their kit
If not what is the point in having a timer just have the match start immediately or else myself and others will just lobby dodge which is fine cuz it takes what five seconds to que up?
Edit: There are a lot of people saying there shouldn’t be time to prepare for like say a key comes in to play but what is worse then that is if I have no time to prep so I just bring an ebony every game and use it that becomes no fun for anyone same as when someone last seconds into a key or four of the same item and I have no counter to that
Edit 2: Also colorblind settings what of those?

They might aswell remove the ability for killers to see survivor equipped items in the lobby, we remove the bad behavior from killers to lobby dodge for every grey toolbox and survivor can bring their grey medkits without being dodged by every killer at the same time.
Or we can keep it that way.

Nothing needs to be done. Just play and don't be a punk.
I play killer the same way whether there's no items in play or 4 people with items. Be happy you can adjust your build at all. When I play survivor, I can't be like "oh... the killer is a Hag, let me switch to a flashlight" or "Oh, it's a Plague, so my altruism build (We'll Make It, For the People, Borrowed Time, Inner Strength) is pretty much useless.
If anything, the lobby should be removed altogether so the killer just has to decide what perks they want beforehand and go in the same way survivors do

yes, and killer will dc or afk, nice you have play dbd mobile, it's a nightmare cau'z killer can't change their loadout one they see the survivors one, nice i forgot the game was 1v1 so the killer as a unfair advantage vs this poor survivor

No reason to lock survivours at all...

Except for last second switching!

Just play the game? In all seriousness I don't oppose locking in character and items after like 30 seconds. But I never change what I'm running just because I see a certain item.

What they need is a penalty for lobby Dodgers, if you waste someone elses time you deserve your time wasted , if you want a easy game go play on mobile against the bots, these are real people with somewhat real brains on the main platforms and nobody should have to hide a intended playable item just to find a match after they spent blood points to get the said item
0 -
It's only a one way, you have to endure every killer add-on but a single yellow flashlight shouldn't be allowed.
0 -
They try to say "I don't want to play that type of game" well go play another game or with bots if you leave everytime you see a item lol campfire simulator cant be that much fun
1 -
All they need to do is lock survivors at like 30 seconds until the game starts, and if everyone readies up pause the countdown timer for 10-15 seconds to give the killer time to pop in a Mori to teach the keyboys a lesson.
You'd need even less time if the game had a better lobby UI where you could swap offerings/add-ons without changing pages. Just have that stuff on the same "page" you hit ready on, rather than specifically clicking loadout. Could save some time and make things just a little bit smoother.

People here comparing that survivors can't prepare for killers so why should killer get a chance to prepare is ridiculous.
Did you notice that you're playing an asymetrical game that has intended design on creating a lobby system to allow killer to prepare perks for survivors and chat for survivors to talk about strategy, synergy builds etc. Game is designed with the idea of giving killer time to prepare and last second switching bypasses that intended design. There's no legitimate reason to defend last second switching.
14 -
they don't understand this simple concept, it's like it's a 1v4 game omg like, you can prepare a strat in the lobby.
anyway well said

but then at least have the dignity to let the killer prepare to what is in the looby. because if they do that is for something they/you know that item is game changing, super strong or even unbalanced so let the killer prepare before hand aswell with a game changing addon or offering, at least have said dignitiy and not just insta change last second, because you know why you are doing it last second is for an obvious reason, you dont want the killer to match your stuff with strong stuff. looby dodgers are fine because survivors are dishonest, they dont care, and they say to killers but but but he is loby dodging, and why do u think he did that?. because is dishonest changing last second from nothing to 2 keys and 2 flashlights, let me equip with an extremely unfun build and killer so we all can have fun/suffer together, dont you think?.

Last second switching only exists because of lobby dodging though, survivors get tired of waiting after the third or fourth killer in a row leave and decide it's time to last second switch just to get a game going
3 -
It's about 50/50 people who get lobby dodged and people who want to avoid franklins, either way you could eliminate half of those by just ending lobby dodging and the other half by locking the survivor into place, but as of now you have killers dodging people they dont want to go against and that shouldn't be a thing , you shouldn't be able to see a profile name loading in only the survivor chosen and the item they brought

there was a post that Almo responded to 3 times, and all 3 of them ignored the question. The question was about at least locking items for survivors, and allowing them to share items between characters so it would be possible to switch characters, but impossible for a survivor to switch items, even if you switch characters.
Almo responded to it 3 times by mentioning that you can't see the survivor's perks, so it doesn't matter, and while that is true, that was not what the question was asking. It was asking about items. Almo got told by some people in the post that he just ignored the question, so he responded...the same answer again, ignoring the actual question. Even more people demanded him to stop ignoring/dodging the question and answer the items question. He then responded one last time and so he finally said...
...The exact same thing again and ignored the question one last time then left.
So what i'm saying is that, in my opinion, Almo isn't the best person you should be asking about locking.

Prepare and change pants after every swap. :^)

Locking the Survivor item and character when they enter the lobby would be a great idea and kill an ######### move. You can close the game before the timer finishes when someone quickswitches to a key. I'm not sure if the timer just disappears and the Survivors remain in the lobby or the game starts and then cancels the match as soon as the Survivors load in though.

and let me tell you that is gonna happen forever if survivors keep doing that, also what changes? killer can alt f4 gg i re open the game and find a looby in 5 seconds, you by the other hand u are gonna wait 8-10 minutes more, i will save 8-10 boring minutes playing that extremeley unbalanced game because you guys were a little shi**** its you who suffer because of that, if u were honest and show FROM THE BEGINNING what your intentions are killers wouldnt loby doge but ey embrace what the killers are gonna bring to the game if u want to bring such strong stuff. and then dont complain, because survivors always want easy games.

Truth be told I wouldnt mind them extending the lobby timer.
First you got to check their profiles (due to all the hackers i dodge any lobbys that have survivors with vac/game bans, and let me tell you thats a lot)
Then if you want to change your perks, say survivors all go to medkits withiut much time left, you’ve got to trawl through 5 pages of perks to find the new perk you want. Lobbys where fine back when we had 3 pages but the perks list is getting bloated now.

I'm totally up for any type of game idk what you think you're trying to say acting like all survivors are scared of the killer , most killers wont play a game with 2 items or more you shouldn't get to cherry pick lobbies and then complain about balance when you rank up
0 -
How about fewer pallets for swf?

I think they should just lock everything in as you search for game. Skip the lobby and showing offerings. Make it an actual surprise when everyone loads into the map. No more last minute switches or dodging, just play the game.

I love that coconut started this. Lord knows the devs wont respond to him, so I guess getting other people to realize the bullcrap and bring it up has to be somewhat satisfying.
ps. give colorblind people a chance.

What do you mean give killer time to prepare? They can literally only see cosmetics and items, what's the tactical advantage you're trying to protect? I say let survivors have just as much time as killers to change their setup.
0 -
That was my whole point 😂 if the lobby is meant to let killer make plans based on what they are going against then why let survivors last second swap so killer can’t adjust? If they won’t fix that then just make no lobby time at all just send us straight into the loading screen or people will continue to lobby dodge the last second swap into keys and other items

CBGM color blind gamers matter

That’s the point it’s the items if they have a key boom they have a good chance to 3-4 man escape even when they screw up and 3 gen
4 medkit means they A insta heal their teammates with it or B can heal but only have one person off gen rather then the normal two
4 toolbox swap means they can now pop the first gen in 30 seconds or less and have fun with stopping it on large maps
4 flashlights means you can have 0 time to react and look down as the blind is instant and can be chained easier
A map in general could mean I have to lobby dodge if I have hex ruin because I don’t want a 5 second cleanse
those are why killers lobby dodge and want time to prepare because none of that is fun or fair play killer with a group that does that you won’t have fun they will all 3 man escape on you if not all 4

Exactly as you said, killer is given time to prepare for survivor's items. For example if killer hates going vs flashlights he can take franklin or lightborn. Same for keys, medkits whatever. If it's not a big deal then there's even less reason to allow last second switching.
0 -
See you get my point it’s the fact the game is suppose to give killer prep time but there is I don’t know if you could call it that but an exploit around that function that shouldn’t be there

Don't worry if you buy enough skins they will notice within the next year or so.

If I see a Laurie or two I'll know 100% there's gonna be a DS, Claudette is almost always gonna bring Self Care, most Meg's bring Sprint Burst, almost every David brings Dead Hard, most Bill's will be running Unbreakable and BT. By seeing the Survivor I can get an idea of at least 1 perk they're running so I can sort of plan for that but the big thing is items. If everyone last second switches to tool boxes chances are one or more has a BNP so it would be good if I could add Franklin's or Pop to my build. If everyone switches last second to medkits I need time to prep Sloppy, Franklin's, Nurse's, or Overwhelming Presence. If they last second switch to flashlights and I'm playing Hag or Wraith, who get their powers gutted by flashlights, I need time to adjust my build with Franklin's so they're not as punishing. These items, by themselves and present before 6 seconds of the match starting, are not really an issue since they can be adjusted for. The problem is the last second switch where the killer can't form a plan or make any tweaks to assist them.

you should better shut up and buy new linked cosmetic which everyone hates... no srsly you are right.. I have no idea what is happening in dev team but those bad changes are alarming.. same with auras... it like those bad changes literally made up a guy whos at work his 1st day ever.. utterly idiotic decisons sadly
0 -
From what I heard through the grape vine and as well from @SpaceCoconut most recent vid it’s literally new day one devs doing this stuff and overtaking the old devs I’m honestly ready for a new asymmetrical game that I can enjoy of a similar horror style so I can just move onto that at this point I enjoy some cosmetics and buy them but I may just stop investing money into the game if my end goal is to find another game and move into that
0 -
yeah I have watched that video as well well their only luck is theres literally no competition and they know it.. sadly.. and as bunch of people already sd if there will be some good 4v 1 horror game they would instantly switch me as well..concept of the game is great but so many idiotic decisions are being made, and for good one you say only - thank god finally they came up wih it after years.. I would love to be on their meeting and listening to them.. honestly guy who approved for example billiys greates addon mothers something is a nice example what an idiot that person is.. and im sorry for me dev is normal person and yes that was utterly mindbowling and idiotic sadly.. and worst part that just showd you how they are thinking.. and people feel it and see it.. same with auras.. be prepared on next livestream to hear great explanation why new auras are so great - maybe they have some hidden potential as a clown.. right ?

Hey if you don’t mind I made a question for the stream it’s called Last Minute Switch if you don’t mind giving it an upvote so maybe it an be featured that would be awesome cuz get enough they have no choice but to reapond

pretty sure the other thread covering the topic got deleted. 🤷♂️

Comments were deleted, too..I had a comment here about buying some skins to alleviate the depression of this whole clown world (BHVR style) and it got nuked. Nice moderation, a la USSR!
0 -
its a way to try and drown out topics that either make them uncomfortable or they don't want discussed. im sure having one of their most prominent devs in the community called out after months of stupid comments has made them want to bury it without seeming like they have. im sure Almo is a nice guy and im sure he has also been responsible for some of the best balancing decisions in the game, you'd have to be if your claiming you are half of the balance team. however that doesnt stop people from calling you out on bad comments.

You lobby dodge every item jesus christ you arent good.

I posted a “bump” that got deleted. These devs have absolutely no shame
0 -
I’m guessing English wasn’t your best subject in school but yeah if they bring keys or 3+ of the same item I leave can’t add pressure if no one has to heal each other or they pop the first gen before you have time to walk over
But I mean are you really one to talk? Every post you make is you whining and saying you are gonna quit
3 -
and another thread getting ignored nice, anyway lock should be for everyone just for the fact that right now it create a sentiment on unfairness for killer
0 -
Yeah noticed them responding to some other post farther down the line but the one consistently staying on the top of this list is ignored but oh well I’ll just run an ebony every game I guess to be already prepared same with going back to running my basic build BBQ Pop Corrupt and NOED can’t run fun builds with some of the stupid stuff in the game

Survivors are just skins, skill level is the same. Not so with killers and powers.
Killers have been asking to be matched according their skill with different killers. And you're complaining when it happens. Smh...
0 -
Did you read? It’s not the survivor it’s the items and the fact they give killers the ability to see survivors and react but if they can have a survivor kitted out with ds bt dh adrenaline and a key and they only pick it at 6 seconds you can’t react
