Comments

  • I dunno, I had attacks phasing through heads, terrain vacuuming me all over the place, second blink just not working because "reasons". It's been a nightmare all around.

    Now I can't even play because menus no longer work at this moment for me.

    Server desync. Its a well known issue since the update and it affects everyone.

    With all the crap that has happened to this game since the Twin Turds came out, you'd think Behavior would have spent a bit more time working on content to prevent crap like this from happening.

    It happens to killers too, and Nurse is way worse, believe me I'm playing her all day long since I'm learning. Her blinks are - more - inconsistent than before. Blink cancelation and swing cancelation bugs are now occurring in every match and with and astonishing frequence. The "phantom blade" (the blade connects or even pass through the surv body but the game don't register the hit) bug too, but if you play a lot of nurse you'll get used to it.

    Unfortunately this game is what it is and with its spaghetti coding we can always assume that with every tweak in the game the devs will brake something else seemengly unrelated.

    Phantom hits are occurring 'cause of Desync but is for both sides.

    Well I cant even lunge as nurse, play a game and got 2 hooks... it was a swf with a key but that's f ing depressing I have never got less than 6hooks since its damn release to have that crap, swings just went through people and even blinking ontop of a survivor to try lunge just for them to outrun it by default

    Is it possible to use blink cancelling to your advantage if you know what to expect tho?? Because if that is the case, maybe this could be one of those dev mistakes that turns into a feature. I think it would be cool to have a hyper speed killer with false moves and maybe even chain canceling, like a feigned swing cancel into a TP.. for dead hard users who love to abuse nurse, for instance..


    Idk, it sounds cooler in my head than the reality I'm sure, but I think that would give her some more unique, fun points that may drive her to be played more often again.... And just me personally, for something in concept like that I wouldn't be averse to a nerf or two if it came at the expense of her having a more exciting gameplay mechanic

    Nah, blink cancelation (bug) never works for you. If you're doing the first blink and you get canceled, survs will get a lot of distance, and if you're going for a chain blink and the game cancels it for you, you won't even make a "fake blink into fatigue" and again, the survivor will gain distance...

    You can "fake" the first blink with nurse by looking down so it'll cover less distance even when full charged, and the second blink you can always fully charge and if the survivor starts doubling back you just enter fatigue.

    Oh, that's not satisfying.


    And yea, I know she could shorten first blink (even though I seem to always find the basement when doing that, It's really obnoxious how little control you have on multi-tiered levels).


    But Yea, I've been on a real DMC Kick lately since taking my annual long break from DBD. Now I want all games to have fun cancels and adrenaline pumping pace..


    Btw, is it crazy that I want an alpha counter perk for survivors? I think that could be really fun if implemented in a way that doesn't make it feel cheap

    Ikr? Most of the time I never need to do shortened max blinks but somehow when I need to I get the sweet basement outplay hahahaah

    It's not the twins update(although that one did suck) The hit boxes have been whacky since the new UI update. With all the bugs in the game right now I think the devs are afraid to stop adding new content. I think I can say we all agree the game needs a few health updates but while they are doing that, the player basis will dip. Then their investors will probably think the game is dying and pull their funding. It's just a theory but some things have been adding to it. All the events lately have been garbage and we've been getting a ton of daily login awards. If you turn on the game for 10 seconds and turn it off. According to their data your considered an "active" player and that looks good on their charts.

    Just imagine testing this update internally and saying "looks fine. Ship it."
