How the Stranger Things Chapter is Going for Me so Far as Killer
Comments

Honestly yes to a degree. Anyone can rank up easily, but I was obviously meaning the gray ranks in his games. This OP is having fun using ebony's on low ranking newer players. Things like that are what deter newer people from continuing the game.

Oh, wow, even less impressive now that you say that. It's hysterical because when I see 4 escapes and we somehow get paired with low rank killers, I feel bad. I mean, it's nice to get the 5k extra points plus some, but this game needs more players, and super toxic gameplay that leads to all survivors having the same outcome is not going to lead to new players sticking around.

Compared to PC it is, but if you're used to it than no its not.

While I personally think this is funny, it does highlight one of the bigger problems of DBD.
It's not just matchmaking by rank, but the fact that the current ranking system doesn't take player skill into account. This rank 13 person has played for enough hours to gain Devotion level 7.
If the devs want the new people they gain from the stranger things dlc to actually stay, they need to place fixing the matchmaking and ranking systems as a higher priority.
@Peanits When can we expect to hear more information about these issues and the possibility of individual killer ranks that was alluded to during the anniversary?

Next year. Its actually on the roadmap its placed after the next Chapter. So mid chapter 14 in roughly February but it extends to march and later on the map so idk.

They'll be talking about their strategy for the rank rework next year, we might expect a new system or a fix to the current system by the end of next year.

De-ranked account level 772 demolishing new players and bragging about it.
Okay, then.

Playing the game = ruining peoples experience now? who'da thunk?

If survivors are doing really poorly in a match, I'll often pull back as killer, be a little less aggressive, otherwise survivors die on their first hook and no one has any fun, including me. I don't see what's fun about demolishing players who obviously have no idea what they're doing.
All this does is highlight that matchmaking needs to be fixed. Like, now. The Stranger Things DLC just brought in a ton of new players, and they're getting miserable experiences because not only does this game throw players of all ranks together, but it doesn't take number of hours played into consideration. Someone with a devotion level, no matter their killer/survivor rank, should not be grouped with absolute newbies. Players who are new to the game should learn the basics together, not get grouped with players who already know what they're doing.

Honestly?
This is just embarrassing that some of you people can't put the Killer Vs Survivor feud behind you just so you can welcome new players and potential friends to the game.
Grow up.

Play against Us (red rank players) instead of destroying potatoes. Easy to destroy their experience i just wish that a sweaty SwF t-bag you all game and do gen in 2min.
PS: i hope you are gonna be reported for griefing.
1 -
“Us red rank killers” - been there done that. You must’ve missed the part where I came from red ranks, I put the t baggers in their place too don’t ya worry about that 😊.
PS: My Rank is yellow because I haven’t played since rank reset.

Dude that really isn't cool to brag about, it's nothing much to feel good about, especially when 2 of them are higher rank than you currently in the first screenshot.
1 -
Funny enough if you were red rank you would of reset to green ranks. Nice bluff though ;)
3 -
exactly.
No man i get rank 10 every reset.
0 -
It reset to Rank 14, I can see you don’t play red ranks. Either of you 😂
0 -
I reset from seven to 13 as killer, rank 1 resets you to rank 10 (fact).
5 -
This is literally a fact, that Rank 1 will reset you to rank 10 with 2 bonus pips...
3 -
This was me literally before rank reset, I guess you can blame Bugged By Daylight 🤷♂️
0 -
This story still doesn’t make full sense, in your first screenshot, you’re rank 15. If you haven’t played since reset (until today) then you’d still be facing noobs and moris won’t de-pip you at those ranks so how’d you de-pip?
0 -
I play survivor too, my friend. The title is me playing killer. I have Nancy at prestige 2 already lol
0 -
I guess he deranked on purpose to go even lower to make sure he was actually bullying new players.
5 -
I never said you didn’t play survivor, I was wondering what happened to make you de-pip from 14 to 15.
0 -
Possibly.
0 -
I'd like to believe that this is why lmao.
0 -
I'm like 100% sure you think you were Rank 1 during the reset, but in reality you were Rank 3, 4, or 5 and just don't want us to know that...
There's no way that your rank magically went past 10 and 11 and landed on 12 when it reset at Rank 1, no way...
0 -
7 reset me to 13 so they’d have to be lower than that.
0 -
Its a secret man... don't want people to know I didn't keep Rank 1 for the whole season... because ranks matter SO MUCH! lol.
Edited for clarification, its a joke. What actually happened is honestly up for debate.
1 -
I’m not really trying to make fun of the op here, but I don’t really believe their story.
0 -
I'm not either, i'm just being a little snide about the situation. Honestly @Speshul_Kitten the only real way you got to rank 12 at reset was when you were previously at rank 7 before the reset...
There's no other way honestly...

Can we get this thread deleted? We don’t really want this type of discussion if we are aiming at having a less toxic game. Clearly, the OP is toxic and think it’s cool to brag about it. Let it rot.
1 -
I’m not 100% sure here but I don’t think seven can put you at 12, possibly with enough pips but op said they got de-ranked to 14.
0 -
So if 7 deranks you to 12, than most likely 8-9 brings you to 14, it might even be 10 to 14 honestly.
1 -
That's up to a mod to ultimately do that, you can @ one if you really think it should be deleted, and than they can decide.
0 -
Actually the first image has him at 15, so we're both wrong... Its most likely 11 than if he was at 15 after the reset.
0 -
I asked my friends (who also play red rank) one of them was reset to 12 and the other to 11. I’m not sure what happened to mine, I’m really not surprised though. I’ve been around long enough to see just about every bug this game has to offer.
0 -
But he said that he was de-ranked to 14, also:
0 -
I was rank 5-6, can’t really remember, before reset and I got to 12.
0 -
I'm going off of the images, he didn't correct it when it when it was posted...
It could be a bug, who knows. Its just highly doubtful because a bug like this was never reported at the start of the ranking system, and till now.
The list Gorgonia posted is how it usually works for rank reset.
0 -
At lvl64 he was rank 1. At lvl 72, rank 15, at lvl76, rank 13. You need around 4 to 5 games to level. And a pip per match means a one level = one rank. He took 4 levels to go up by two ranks. Say you have some good or bad games, it could be possible.
Now, he was lvl64 and rank 1 and 8 levels later (lvl72) he was rank 11/12 (15 after reset). That’s clearly deranking. Toxic people usually derank the last couple of days before reset to be a-holes towards low levels, or new people in this case. His screenshots clearly prove he deranked to abuse less experienced players.

What part of I played survivor most of the time do you not understand?
0 -
A lot of edge here. Thread should of had a subtitle reading 'Warning: May Contain Sharp Objects'.
0 -
The fact that you kept leveling by playing survivor makes the case even worse and the deranking even sharper. Had you not played killer... how did you go from rank 1 to 11/12 to then be reset to 15? Either make up your mind and come up with a better story or admit you’re a toxic deranker. The fact that you bring ebony mori as a rank 15 killer is proof enough anyway

That’s some good tv show

Fill me in. I'm not a big tv person.

HBO - Sharp Objects (Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson).

This thread in-general is becoming toxic, so i'm gonna agree with @Gorgonia and notify the mods to have it possible closed.
@MandyTalk @Gcarrara @Gay Myers (Luzi) @Rizzo90 This thread has derailed, and in-general is starting to cause arguments. Can it be closed please?
3 -
Go back and READ what I wrote, I am not gonna repeat myself to every person who jumps to conclusions.
0 -
This is why I enjoy being at these ranks, so when I find you in one of my games as killer. I don't need to feel so bad about being toxic with flashlights, tea bagging you, and looping you for an entire game. :)
