Stranger Things isn't enough to save this game tbh

Can't have a discussion when most of the discussion I read on this thread is mainly Killer comprised, and every survivor one I see usually get one sided kinda like now.

I love the game, and I think if this pack launches alongside dedicated servers it will pull in a lot of new fans. ^^

Yeah that's the business move pick a popular genre or memorable character bring them in make some moo-la and rinse and repeat.

For a new killer players around rank 10 have far superior skill to theirs. Yes if you constantly hit rank 1 they may seem to be potatoe to you but for a new player they are serious challange.
Imao real reason why survivor playerbase may be lower then normal is because of the pathetic BP gain they get unless they carry their team and constant DCers and lag issues. Camping is such a small problem since there are so many counters to it and for you to be camped you first need to be caught so you still have a chance to get better at chasing/juking.

What counters are there for camping?
0 -
I understand where you are coming from to an extent, but they aren't comparable
For Honor avg player count
DBD avg player count
Dead by daylight is still a very relevant game. these licensed chapters make it even more so
1 -
Gen rushing, decisive stirke, borrowed time, mettle of man(hard to do though atm), instant heals, deliverance, Adrennaline, head on, exhaustion perks in general, pallets.
3 -
For Honor is also a very relevant game also they added Thor God of Thunder as a new Warrior and brought in a whole new faction, wait a minute sounds like the dbd playbook.

I am mostly worried that all the new players they're gonna be bringing in with Stranger Things will be thrown into a soup of toxicity. That'll be a lot of unneeded negativity that Behavior will suffer through. Not to mention, what if the Demogorgon ends up being weak-as-######### and non-meta? The disappointment is gonna be malleable and a wave of negativity will wash over the game.
There's a huge risk in doing a collaboration this big and since the developers only seem to focus on making more cosmetics and Battle Passes.. there's some serious dark clouds on the horizon for Behavior.

Unless you face hard camping bubba many. Ofc they are dependant on your team's cooperatin and personal player skill so SWF has far easier time. Like bodyblocking, cooperated hook rescue, anti camping builds, flashligts, sabotage and the best one gen rushing.
The best anti camp build would probably be DS, BT, tenacity, adrenaline. Then it's how long you can run the killer before you go down so that he has little to camp you before gens get done. When gates are open any other killer then bubba already lost and can't camp you with this build uneless you majorly screw up or you get left behind.

Let your teammate die to a Bubba in the basement :) that's the counter.
Gotta love killer mains

Oh wow didn't think of that I deserved to be nerfed
0 -
Obviously, let's nerf survivors even more so they break their legs after they vault but let camping with NOED stay in the game 🙂
0 -
For all the new players that might come when Stranger Things drops once dedicated servers come we'll lose about that same amount through dc bans.
Dc is still a huge issue in this game and i dont think the treat of a ban will stop it. Maybe devs look at why players are dcing in large numbers and fix it.
0 -
nooo thats not enough lets make the survivor start off in a dying state with 10 generators that'll balance the game out.
0 -
Still its a different can of beans entirely, Agree to Disagree :/

If you really complaining about Overcharge, then you are really bad, that perk is garbage.
0 -
No you just don't see it's potential, picture this a pig with Thrill, Lullaby, Overcharge, and Nurses. A mega time waste, you put on rbt let them run to the boxes they'll fail the skill checks, gens will be hard to save due to the lullaby, its a monster. Just gotta be able to put it together.
0 -
In my experience, killers don't face camp and hit constantly the hooked survivor unless the survivors are tea bagging him, so maybe if you don't act like a little ######### you won't get face camp.
Of course, they are exception of killers who camp regardless, but there are also survivors who will tell you to ######### just because you won a match, so both sides have their toxicity. You will find toxicity in almost any game, that's not just a DbD isssue.
0 -
Woah somebody hostile for what? Calling me a little ######### you hurt my feelings sir. LOL get out my face with that, your experience isn't everybody else's but unfornately my experience is similar to others. Killers use this excuse, "Survivors last game tbagged me so I camped you because you're just like them!" Yes there's toxicity in every game but there's a difference in toxicity inflicted by a small group rather than developers encouraging toxicity. Now skeedaddle young buck.

1 Huntress Lullaby doesn't affect Jigsaw Boxes.
2 Huntress Lullaby is also very weak against good survivors, even at 5 stacks. And you need 5 hooks for that.
3 You can still destroy Hexes protected by Thrill of the Hunt and it's even not too hard to do against killers without mobility, like Pig.
Complaining about perks like Overcharge and Huntress Lullaby makes me think your skill as survivor isn't very high.
1 -
I said do not act like a #########, not that you are a #########. It's a big difference.
But you know, reading is overrated.
5 -
You sure about that because uhhhh I played against the pig and it sure did work unless thats a bug the devs need to fix. Also pig camped totem so bad I saw a roasting pit sitting next to the totem. I'm rank 3 btw.
0 -
Yes, Huntress Lullaby doesn't work with Jigsaw Boxes. And if Pig just camped her totem, then how she get her stacks for Huntress Lullaby ? And you act like it's impossible to work through Lullaby. It's actually pretty easy if you pay a little bit of attention.
1 -
Because Overcharge isn't as weak as you say and 30fps on a 60fps console that factors in.
0 -
Also that means another bug great work dbd.
0 -
Game doesn't need saving, but nice try.
0 -
So they should be able to thrive without a partnership from Netflix for a highly popular show and just drop a orginial killer and survivor oh wait that doesn't bring in enough people. But nice try tho.
0 -
Yes, it is. Overcharge is very weak and worthless at high ranks. And being on console isn't a excuse, not when I know console players who can work even through Ruin.
0 -
I can gen tap too but hitting a skill check with lullably and overcharge with the killer constantly pratrolling the gen is a different story also killer had Crate of Gears so you're wasting more time on the boxes than the gens but keep it going I like this convo.
0 -
Again, both perks are easily counterable if you pay a little bitt of attention. Crate of Gears adds a few seconds to the boxes, it's really a big deal for you ? They even aren't good add-ons.

"I dont like getting camped so the game is dying"
2 -
To you apparently, everything isn't good to you, I bet bbq, nurses, ruin, and noed is real good huh?

"I don't like getting pallet looped so the game is dying."
2 -
Lmao i never said anything about pallet looping, its you the one inventing numbers to """proof""" camping is killing the game.
0 -
inventing numbers? where is this numbers you speak of? Also it's -->prove<-- being grammatically correct goes a long way.
0 -
No, just that Overcharge and Huntress Lullaby are really weak perks, you are literally the only person complaining about them.
0 -
Oh so its just that you aren't very good at the game that makes it "dying" simple solution
1 -
...What?
In terms of numbers they've been consistent for a very long time, long before Ghostface.
The game itself has issues for sure, which I also wish had bigger backlashes when they were left alone for 6 months plus at a time (I'm looking at you, rank/pipping bug that's been there since Ash came into the game) but they really aren't having all that much of an effect.
Exposure with things like Stranger Things in the long term helps to increase numbers and hence provide a larger profit margin, and hence could allow for more swift updates in the future. But it isn't necessary for the game to survive.
1 -
That and cherrypicking my grammar mistakes?
You are either a troll or incredibly butthurt
3 -
Im pretty good to the point I can run a killer around for 4 gens before getting my first hook but then you know that pesky little thing called noed which recieved a uncalled buff and is now part of the meta, if I run into things like that and I'm rank 3 think about the baby survivors and how long they will last. I can meme too btw.
1 -
Consistent is the goal here? Not growing? That's a low standard bud but as long as you got survivors to kill you could care less right?
0 -
Sounds like you don't know how to make a build, but who said I was complaining I was simply making an example. You have very decent baiting skills.

Funny how people talking in favor of survivors always start bringing up those crazy "killer buff claims" once they start losing their arguments.
1 -
I know how to make a build, otherwise I wouldn't claim Overcharge and Huntress Luallby to be so weak.
1 -
Do you have any idea how online gaming communities work? They dwindle over the years until they arrive/stagnate at a set number (depending on the game, of course) at which point the MAIN goal is to keep those people happy, interested and spending money. That isn't to say a side objective wouldn't be to attract new players. And DLC's related to pop culture are a great way of doing that. It keeps it interesting for old players at the same time as attracting new.
Edit: Luckily for DBD and other games I've played, bad balancing/a lack of regular balance changes doesn't generally end up adversely affecting the numbers as much as one would believe. It should, to force faster changes, but it doesn't.
2 -
Trash tier meme. Doesn't fit the template, shameless advertisement and overall bad.
Overcharge has no potential. And your perk build includes Overwatch but not Pop goes the Weasel? lmao
2 -
Honestly, from the track record of OP, I won't even try to reason with him\her.
"There is a lot of thread being killer main complaining and shutting other people down. So I have to make survivor sided thread and shut down other people." This is not the way to go.

Looks like the past 10 years of the WoW forums lol
