Flips every once in a while.
5 -
His chainsaw was overheating.

I discovered the game on pure accident surprisingly, I originally believed it was called dying light and thought I bought the wrong game, sure enough however I bought this one and love it still
Also I die alot in games and like Hoodies

5. Of that side which character/s do you main?
3 -
Oh, happy to see another interview! This one should be interesting.
3 -
I play on Xbox, however if we consider it apart of the gang I rarely play on Mobile as well
I main both Killer and survivor, Pyramid/Blight/Demo main on killer and Feng/Bill/Heather on survivor

6. Favorite killer perk?
7. Least favorite killer perk?
8. Favorite survivor perk?
9. Least favorite survivor perk?
3 -
Favorite killer perk, gotta go with Devour Hope due to its ability to outright kill survivors, while also holding them off generators to find this lethal totem
Least favorite is gonna be Lightborn, I don't mind flashlights enough for it to be a problem, and if you get a flashlight save it was my mistake for not being careful
Favorite survivor perk is currently autodidact, love it alot
Least favorite survivor perk however is gonna be Soul Guard as I don't think I would ever need it as its not a really fun perk imo

- Favorite realm, gonna go with Midwich, map is super pretty and I love it
- I hate haddonfield, looks weird and playing on it hurts so much

- Dead Dawg

14. What is you dream chapter for the game?
3 -
I really wanna see Outlast in here so badly, Walrider would be so cool, same with Trager and really everyone
6 -
Now we move onto balance
15. Freddy is at the moment getting nerfed from what many said was a super easy killer. But many saying he should receive another rework to make his power more dynamic and interesting. Do you believe the nerf was the right decision or should he receive another rework?
3 -
I believe he should receive another rework as multiple aspects of his power really cannot be nerfed about him, his true issue imo was his teleports not his snares and pallets, while he was an incredibly simple killer to learn perks made his teleport incredibly threatening, while making his snares and pallets really annoying
3 -
16. Wraith had his Windstorm made base kit. Making him much more viable. Before this Clown had his yellow cork made base kit. And now Demo is getting Rat liver basekit. Do you believe making add-ons base help some killers issues? And do you believe that this could apply to perks also? And if so what other killers can use an add-on basekit?
3 -
Its a good start to have certain add-ons basekit on killers, however I don't think basekit perks should happen as this could make future balancing harder
I will be completely happy with seeing Trapper having faster setting time as basekit
3 -
17. Do you believe Trapper needs a rework to his power beyond a bag basekit? Since many still few his power as inconsistent and easy to by pass.
3 -
I don't see how trapper could see a rework, I would like to see him buffed beyond bag basekit however, I'd like to see more about his traps being able to be used in different ways OR even allowing him to trap objects internally (I.E chests and totems)
5 -
18. Another killer critiqued as out of date is Michael Myers the Shape. It's criticized that his base is too weak and his add-ons in many cases too strong. How would you update him to modern DBD standards and viability?
3 -
Logwood Dye being base-kit would also be pretty cool.
2 -
I would like to see that as base as well, just not the green one as that is too dark and could nerf trapper on bright maps
4 -
I would try to design him to be a tank in tier 3, as if he is practically unstoppable, however I don't know a good way of doing it at this time
3 -
19. Many killers are criticized for being inconsistent or messy. Like Huntress hitboxes or Ghostface Night Shroud. Do you believe we should deliver a Mid-Chapter cleaning up messy killers?
3 -
I would love for midchapters to fix the killers like this yes, hate getting hit by buses and hate it when I win a staring contest with a ghostface but it doesn't reveal
4 -
20. Spirit has been debated for a while. Many killers have gone through drastic changes. Doctor, Freddy, Billy, Bubba, Clown. While she has remained relatively unchanged people think her base is unfair and her add-ons most busted in the game. And has caused frustration that Hillbilly is unjustifiably nerfed. While the community looks for a Spirit nerf. Why do you believe the devs haven't given Spirit much of a glance? And how would you make her balanced?
3 -
Most likely because of High rank Viability is why they haven't looked into her yet, I still have a feeling she'll get looked into however
I would balance her by not allowing her to hear injured survivors while phasing and letting her power have a bigger tell
3 -
21. Another killer often criticized is Nurse she has already gotten a huge Nerf to try and make her fine by modern standards. But many say she's still busted. Because she doesn't play DBD ignoring all defense mechanics. Do you believe Nurse is fine? And if not how could she be changed to not what many fear butcher her?
3 -
Tbh I do believe she is fair solely because if you learned nurse you are pretty good, however, if she is deemed OP I would say rework her completely so she is able to work perfectly across all platforms
4 -
Let's move on to perks
22. Recently we saw some changes on the PTB that look strong. Lucky Break looks like it can change the meta a tad. But many are saying it's new form is too strong. Do you believe the current proposed form is fine or in need of further changes and what would it be?
3 -
It needs further changes, I definitely think its unhealthy now
3 -
23. Do you believe Open-handed's proposed range is too long?
3 -
Not long enough imo, but I really just want OH to have a rework to relate towards chests
3 -
24. Is the new proposed Object of Obsession good and will it no longer be hailed as the toxic perk?
3 -
It shouldn’t be hailed as a toxic perk as its kinda high risk high reward now, instead of it being incredibly annoying
3 -
25. Do you believe the buff to the already strong Borrowed Time is justified?
3 -
Cant agree more wallrider would be amazing
2 -
C'mon folks, I can't be the only one upvoting these guys!
3 -
@WishIcouldmain how many more of these are you planning on doing?
4 -
Weird one, what I wanted was a range limit originally but this one is a little...questionable
Nevertheless, I will have to live by new BT, no matter how much I dislike it
4 -
Moving back around to some killers
26. They finally redid Huntress's add-ons to many delights nerfing Iri Head and Exhaustion add-ons do you believe they did a good job changing her add-ons?
3 -
They did very well at it, only dislike her undetectable add-on
4 -
27. They also announced they nerfed Twins do you believe that will solve The Twins issues or were they being lazy in solving some core issues that give the Twins a low playrate?
3 -
100% lazy, they made twins into a killer that needs to camp now
5 -
28. Did they do a good job with Demogorgon buffing his base and add-ons? In hopes to make him more viable and get him a higher playrate.
4 -
popping here to say : love the concept and love both the questions and the answers !
3 -
YES
YES THEY DID
5 -
The changes is good but I don't get why they didn't reduce the time it takes to open the portal. Nothing wrong with the buffs and it might actually help him loads, I'm just wondering.
Or it did and I didn't know about it.
