Okay now here's my rant.
Remember how I said my 4AM post wasn't a rant? Now here is one. Devs what is wrong with you? And no I don't need a Mod to remove this post or to ban me I'll be Civil trust me. But Look, Gun Media. Did a better job at making cosmetics on the side and fixing the game they made than Ya'll do.
You wanna know what makes this game boring?
Unbreakable
D.S.
Borrowed Time
Sprint Burst
Dead Hard
God Shack Pallet (How the [BAD WORD] is this called the Killer shack if KILLERS CAN GET OUT RAN IN IT)
God Tree Pallet
Keys
Fast Gen Speed Times
Ranks in General
Not Being able to see WHAT PLATFORM THESE PEOPLE ON YOUR TEAM OR YOU'RE AGAINST ARE ON SO YOU CAN REPORT THEM PROPERLY WITH EVIDENCE.
So you really want to know why people love to call this a Dead game when it's not? Why they despise Survivors? Why they Despise PC? Why they DISABLE crossplay? Why some refuse to buy any new Killer or any new Cosmetic that comes out? Because Unlike Gun Media you don't know what to patch and when to Patch it. These Meta Perks take no skill because they are ALL SECOND CHANCE PERKS. Yet, the killer gets maybe the same 4 equivalent perks to the Survivor Meta perks and they get HUGGGGGGGGGGGE disadvantages because apparently you thought of how it could be Overpowered for killers to use on Survivors yet you won't EVER nerf these META perks. You Untouch them as if it was your prized possession. Then you add more and more and more second chance META perks to their turntable and BOOM what do Killer's get? "Entity Displeased" or "Ruthless Killer" That is unacceptable. Was I a Ruthless killer? Did it feel good to get 1 Kill after you got slammed by 16 META PERKS AT ONCE!?
If you allow the Survivors to rule the match then WHY EVEN BOTHER HAVING KILLERS IN THE GAME!? And yes I see you survivor lurking in the shadows! I see you wondering why us Killers don't play at night or Hell even play as Killer often and you wanna know why? Because we can't always bust our balloons (Insert Clown Joke Here) to combat the same old Meta that has been guess what? BEEN AROUND SINCE ALMOST 2016!!!! Those reasons above. Are why some people are leaving your game. Why survivors are seeing lack of Killers or hell Killer gameplay. Cause you force em to play META killers with META builds to try to combat the 2016-17 META.
I don't care what Scott Jund, OhTofu, No0b3, The King, Ohmwrecker, or any of the other Twitch Streamers say about the Topic. They can have their own points but my Point is is stop wasting your money on cosmetics and actually give us QOL chances WE ACTUALLY NEED.
Cause at this point this game is just getting more ridiculous and is turning most of your fanbase off. And frankly for a person who Loves the Horror Franchise and Loves the Gaming Community this is just a Rotten Tomatoes score of 35% of people like this Game. Cause if these issues don't get addressed and you waste our time with just Cosmetics then whats the point in buying any more of your products in the future?
Don't get me wrong I did say I was going to be Civil and thats why I didn't cuss out anyone or didn't accuse anyone or didn't bash any dev specifically. Its just I saw the Potential this game had when I first bought it in 2018. But [BAD WORD] is it losing that potential very quick.
Sorry for the rant but it just had to be done. See you in another 6 Months.

Too bad you think that those perks are such a problem when they arent. So I'm not gonna read your whole thing. Therefore, ill adress the beginning. Quit complaining about these "meta perks" killer mains are broken records lile holy hell. SPRINT BURST REALLY?! Sprint burst isn't even a God Damn issue like dead hard. Ds and unbreakable aren't even used that much and shack pallet? Yeah its one of the strongest loops but there are ways to loop shack and its gonna be an issue with a goof survivor. Most people cant even loop it properly and hell ill teach you how to loop shack as a killer if Its an issue for you. Like im not the best killer but shack never is an issue unless im huntress and thats cuz im on console and aiming can be a ######### but I can shut down shack quick enough or at least get the pallet gone. And if by chance you're better than mr you shouldnt complain. Meat tree is annoying granted but you cant mundane it so dont and you will be fine its one chase. Bt can be annoying but mending adds time for them to be fully healed and with the timer being 20 seconds they cant afford to dillt dally. Gens suck ass and so do ranks but because of that killer isnt that hard it can be stressful due to gens but kills are easy to get. For the most part. But seriously man I get the frustration but I can give you some actual more in depth advice or reasoning if you want. And as for the rest which I read because I felt like a Dick I agree mostly

So, people despise PC players for... Sorry, what reason? It can't be for running those perks, or for knowing how to run strong tiles, or for being sweaty in general, none of that is particularly different to console gamers.
7 -
I don't despise them, but I do refuse to play with them.
Console is at an inherent disadvantage and it SUCKS to know that when you play against someone on PC, they are at an advantage because of better optimization.
I can make the right read on a Nurse blink and juke her, but I freeze and she can quickly adjust and hit me with her second blink, whereas I am unable to adjust due to low FPS and constant freezing.
9 -
DS is used in almost every Red Rank game. I would bet it is used more than Old Ruin.
Unbreakable is used less, so you are correct on that.
5 -
console players get more hate as far as im aware
4 -
Its because PC players and Switch complain about Aim Assist even though they stated multiple times in Dev Streams it does it on all platforms.
Thats why they did the Hit Validation Update.
1 -
Thanks Pulsar for understanding the gist of my rant. This game's Meta and looping mechanics are becoming outdated and boring and definitely need QoL changes and Its not just killer mains wanting this, some Survivor mains know this and have come out to say it as well. So thank you for reading my rant and taking your time <3
5 -
@MadLordJack to answer your question the Gist of why people hate PC more than any console is because due to the fact they abuse more of the god awful mechanics that the devs let slide. Us on consoles have frame rate issues, random disconnect from the server issues and random lag issues, which also gives PC an advantage. And for my first sentence about PC abusing game mechanics that desperately need QoL changes from what I've seen and from what I've experienced as both a Killer and Survivor player is that PC has used more of these 2016-17 META perks that the devs have refused to nerf even a slightest bit. (even tho they said QoL changes would be coming in last years roadmap which they didn't btw...) SO thats why people despise PC.
@Komodo16 You have your own opinion and I have mine. Mine speaks from legit experience from both sides of the spectrum. I don't know where your's is from but who knows its your opinion and I'll always have mine. Also take time to actually read the whole thing to actually get the gist of the problem at hand thanks <3
2 -
Yeah, that's also a thing endemic to PC players as well, it's just that the majority of the vocal ones have ridiculously good machines and so pretend that that's the baseline experience.
3 -
So do you have any actual proof, or do you just see a crossplay icon and immediately go "that's a PC player because they played in a way I didn't like?"
Most of my unbearably sweaty games and full meta perk teammates are against console players, and that is something I can actually check thanks to being on PC. Just saying.
Also performance issues aren't just a console thing. I have DbD on my y1 Xbox one, and while it played worse than my old PC it wasn't that much worse. In fact, I still have performance issues because DbD is just a poorly coded game and I definitely get screwed by game stutter quite a bit.
3 -
considering you main Myers this is probably where the problems come from
myers is probably the easiest killer to loop in the game and really struggles against good survivors
other than that the perks you mentioned are mostly balanced ds and Dh are the only ones need changing
as for genspeed again Myers struggles in that regard. Best you can do is slug and run perks like corrupt and surge
1 -
But those things makes the game fun. Not boring. Now bring back mori and undying.
1 -
Most console players don't despise pc players, we despise playing against them.
4 -
Lmao

For being the absolute worst teammates in DbD. Console players are always out for the team making saves and splitting up on gens. PC players are found digging through chests or killing themselves on hook cuz they got downed once.
1 -
I have to say, I do find that almost all DC's or dying purposefully on first hook does happen by PC players in my experience. I'll be honest though, I can't say I come across many of these. It's definitely the few who ruin it for everyone else.
I find most PC players are more willing to meme and have a fun game whereas my fellow console gamers... well, they don't appreciate the crouch and point. Not saying all my games are like this, but it's nice to have a little break after been tunnelled and camped for most of my games despite having DS.
1 -
Lol, not even close. Thats not only a stupid "them-vs-us"-mentality, its also simply wrong.
1 -
Gen speeds can not be changed that significantly because it would destroy balance. People would just stack regression and gens wouldn’t be done.As for loops and jungle gyms most killers can deal with them bar like Myers and wraith but killers like slinger and clown can get easy downs from them. Loop rng needs to be cut down tho I agree with that
1 -
BNP could use a complete rework but other than that toolboxes are fine. If killers have addons that make getting downs faster(scalped topknot, flask of bleach things like that) then I don’t mind survivors bring addons and items to do gens faster
1 -
You were right about everything but DS and unbreakable tho. DS is used quite often with unbreakable being the less used one. Just because they aren't used together often (is what I hope you were implying) does not necessarily mean it is not an issue. But yes, most of the perks other than these described are a pain but actually doable.
1 -
If survivors should be able to run DS/Unbreakable dead hard and BT, the killers should be able to sweat back with good add ins, ruin, undying, tinkerer, and noed. And the previous moris. You didn't pip up mori ing everyone anyway
1 -
But yes, I agree with everything on your list except for sprint burst, that perk is good but not busted
1 -
L2P issue. Funny post though, had good laughs reading it.

Ok I call BS.........Michael Myers never rants 🤔
0 -
I'm talking about the combo. Almost every match I get there is at least 2 DS but no unbreakable just about And I've barely seen them paired
1 -
Ive played extensively survivor for a time so I know what perks are usually ran or how they act but I also play killwr a good amount because of ######### que times for surv and my YouTube uses Huntress montage but I have also seen many games that just go against YOUR experience. In the end I believe everything anyone can say is usually anecdotal because people find. Different things as problems. I appreciate your generous response but I hope you can open your mind to what I said and think of it. Also would you take me up on the offer to help you
1 -
I always agreed that xbox players were ######### because its my platform but toxicity became less prevalent in high ranks til pc player swf. Xbox has a neat way to see if people are pc which is if they have a space in their name. Only xbox and pc can have spaces and whenever you have a full lobby of cosplay there is usually a swf. Cross play has always mixed players and all my more coordinated teams who were stressful were either all cosplay or all xbox. Maybe im wrong who knows but I have seen some really ######### pc players but I don't take the tome to generalize
0 -
BNP is fine now
1 -
I meant as a pair and yeah DS is very common and unbreakable isn't and its combo is just as rare. In my games as high rank so im biased I guess. But yeah its kind of a problem. Take IRI head, that's a huge problem even tho its not used much at all. Because a huntress who hits her shots always wins I wont lie whenever I get too salty at killer I use a iri head slug build to take out my anger and then I switch back but because of that I have never lost my "cooling down games" as I call them. Yet I have ran tenacity unbreakable soul guard and ds for 10+ games for memes. It was useless basically. Only ever used ds like 3 times and same with unbreakable and soul guard maybe once or twice. And ive only escaped 1 time due to it. So its all anecdotal but people say tthere is no counter to this build but its to pressure survivors into wasting one of these perks. And yeah then you lose pressure but you can gain it back 2 fold. Whenever I play killer I act as if. Unbreakablr doesn't exist because if I worry about a perk combo I will lose so I just keep adding pressure. I dont know maybe you disagree due to your experience, hell maybe you think I'm stupid

If you're on console playing this game and complaining about low optimization, freezes, etc and how disadvantaged you are vs PC players, I got a solution but you going to find an excuse for it
Go buy a PC. Its 2021. I built my first PC when I was just 18 years old. The fact that people continue to play a game on console at 30 FPS, with spikes, freezing, and everything else is astounding to me. And don't hit me with the 'but I'm a console gamer, I don't need a PC'. Well then sit and stew on your platform. Can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves.

Never say never... (The god awful Halloween Remakes by Rob Zombie...)

Exactly ######### Queue times as survivor.
Wanna fix it? Make the game bearable for Killers. But I do understand the point.
0 -
I'd rather not buy a $1000 PC Because the devs cant optimize their game correctly. So... no thank you.
2 -
Complaining about a shack pallet is quite stupid after thinking that most of killers abilities are combat ones
0 -
Get it all out man, no one will really listen though. I agree with most of your points, though the only perk I have a problem with is Decisive Strike.
0 -
I understand but with a PC, one you'll be able to play this game on the same level as others and most likely any other game you want, will perform better as well. I think it'd be an amazing investment for the future so I def recommend it. Yea its expensive but it'll last you a # of years and you'll be happy looking back.
But to each their own, man. All the best.

Dude,not everyone has enough money to buy a PC that can run DbD well + we don't have cross progression yet and i don't see myself just throwing my 6000 hours away :]

nice bait, but our princes is in another castle!

Nice but im still willing to give tips and if you've been around for that long you might be able to show me tips

How are PC players supposed to accommodate for console FPS drops?
0 -
What if someone can’t afford a PC? Or the person can’t maintain two system. Buying PC isnt a customer friendly solution for laziness not to improve the game for Console players
1 -
As a predominantly killer player, its why I got into the game, I do 'kind of' agree with you. If a bit on the ranty side.
While I don't feel the perks listed are OP specifically they are definitely overused.
The gameplay of run around the same rock 10 times is really stagnant, not uncounterable just stagnant. I hate it when survivors try and milk a really strong loop for as long as possible, its tedious, but hey what else can they do?
I don't lament anyone for looping well but when every chase b-lines for the same spot on the map its just dull. I find it immersion breaking when people try and get you to chase them because of a nearby strong loop they know how to exploit well.
Sure its just anecdotal game experience but its how I feel about the game and its curbing the enthusiasm to play.
2 -
Yeah I've been around for awhile. Seen all the memes, seen what turns the community on (Shirtless David, Myers and Felix), Seen some strategies, seen failed strats, seen nerfs and buff alike, So I am knowledgeable in some regards to a bunch of things.
0 -
I feel exactly the same. I know of 3 God Loops. Shack Pallet, God Tree Pallet, and Blackwater Swamp Boathouse 3 Window Loop.
All Tedious and I never said it can't get countered I said that especially with the killer shack how is it called killer shack if the killer loses control of it super easily. But thank you for understanding the rant <3
1 -
Rants like this are justified and are inevitable when the game is in such poor condition for so long.
1 -
Well i'd live for us to exchange knowledge and tips if you want and maybe talk about the weird kinks about Meyers XD idk the attraction to killers don't make sense to me
0 -
I think everyone is getting into this weird headspace of 'I play on this and am better than you!!' or 'I play on this and can't compete with people who play on that' which is fair, but I think everyone has the potential to majorly mess up the match no matter the platform lol :)! I'm on console and have had amazing teammates and opponents from all platforms, so I usually don't read the rants or 'dear ____ players' posts because they are mostly venting rather than generalizing. I hope the community becomes more accepting of cross play and working hard for ranks and wins because we can only get better!!!

You're too damn wholesome for this forum.

Thank you for understanding <3

dead hard is fine, it adds some variability to gameplay , i i wish it was given to survs by default
