Will deathslinger bring people back?
No, at least not me. He seems ok, but with ranking being busted causing me to get no games for 15+ min as a low rank killer from not playing for so long, dedicated servers causing major hit box issues consistently, and still having audio issues, just not worth my time to put up with it all.
Once those issues are addressed and mount ormond, haddonfield, and every cold wind map get those breakable walls. The game might be worth coming back to.
Until then, got some other games more deserving of my time since they actually address the core issues within a timely manner.
Been waiting for haddonfield and mount ormond to get deleted since I first played on them.

It will, for a bit. Then people will realize that BHVR took this amazing concept, and basically...prenerfed it before it even had a chance.

Not me either for the same reasons as the OP.

I never left :p
Still, this killer.look like a.mix of legion and huntress, lets say if you are reeeeeally good at fps you will have fun with him (just remember his shots have a range, you cant hit across the map)
1 -
Of course not.
Did the devs fixed the problems of this game yet?
3 -
Too weak, prob not at this point without serious upgrades after ptb

I haven't enjoyed any DLCs since Plague lol. Ghostface is busted, demo is so weak, oni is boring, and now, meh. Not even horror.

True a prison killer was better.
3 -
No the big problem is gen rush.
1 -
The map looks amazing but the killer in my mind looks boring and too slow. Just another killer console will avoid.
4 -
Agreed. You have to apply serious map pressure, and that's easier said than done. Especially on the bigger maps...
1 -
I think, depending on how it effects gameplay, the change to toolboxes is more likely to bring people back.
Also, I actually like Haddonfield and Ormond. Coldwind can die in a fire. In fact, a burned down coldwind might actually be fun.

My big problem with BHVR is that they can't balance gens for #########, but with the new toolboxes games are actually going at a decent pace on the PTB, so if they just keep it like that then I'll come back, I'm not giving these greedy companies money but I'll play the game.
1 -
I dont know how the toolboxes changes are gonna effect the game pace since no one plays seriously on PTB so..... We will just have to wait and see.

What funny I did it yesterday and I slug one in the floor because there is only 2 person and one of them have the key so I need to stop him too and I was playing as doctor which did help me and they was toxic too sabotage hooks too but like I say I slug them and hook them and laugh and the guy with the key say I'm trash because I slug but I need to do it he had a key and I didn't tunnel and I say so it OK to do gen rush and sabotage but is not OK for us to tunnel and camp and he say I'm still trash lol it like if they don't get they way they think the killers suck but if they win and we lose they still call us trash like damn these toxic survivors are crying babies.
2 -
Just slug that simple.

some do, some don't. I agree we'll wait and see but from what I've seen it's a good start.

Why would I need too play a game just too take a nap?

Concept is interesting, I like his look (art department is the real gem of BHVR as usual) - won't buy the DLC or see myself going to playing (at least not to play Killer) in the near future.
A 4.4 m/s (110%) movement speed Killer with no map presence getting released in post-Ruin Nerf times is questionable.
A Killer whose entire Power relies on ranged accuracy on Dedicated Servers infamous for latency issues and buggy hits/misses is even more questionable.
It's also bundled together with an update that makes SWF-level Sabo plays braindead easy for Solos and breaks matchmaking (again) with a secret formula of determining skill level in a game where it's impossible to define skill level.
...No, I don't think I'm going to play Killer again any time soon.
Sorry.

In 2016, you could have been one of the "Just break the pallet" people :)

Nope, he looks pants.

No.

Does it feel like the devs made this killer to draw a new crowd?
"Killers are leaving cause we cant balance our game. How can we get more? Let's give a killer a gun so we can siphon players from the CoD genre"
3 -
Every killer with unique abilities will bring players in imo. The question is just if they stay.

this new chapter will bring back people momentarily mabe for a week or 2 only because it’s “new content.” Once people figure out that content doesn’t change the core problems with the game they’ll start leaving again. I mean just ask yourself do you enjoy playing killer in the current state of the game? Do you enjoy solo q as survivor because you have no one to play with? I do like Dbd but I really don’t have any motivation to play survivor and most definitely killer. If the new sabo and hook changes make it into live servers idk if I will continue to play. New map is cool but it looks like it’s meant for survivors more than killers it’s big. New killer and survivor are cool but that still doesn’t change any issues with the current game.
0 -
Toolbox changes, add on and hook sabo changes are good. The hooks respawn in 30 secs. Caleb is fun. People need to realise he needs to be played a bit differently and alter the builds suited to his power. You have to take into account that you reel in survivors and that is part of the chase. You can't talk about the killer without the other changes that are in the PTB.

I think like all chapters there'll be a Spike in players but it'll drop back down afterwards. The Game's been pretty steady for years now not really gaining nor loosing that Average players, Atleast on PC.
Personally I'm not a fan of the chapter it just doesn;t appeal to me it being a shooter and cowboy theme, I don't know how many others feel that way tho.

I think this would have been an amazing release if the issues with game speed had already been addressed and fixed. Right now we have a huge load of "Maybe, but what if, but give it time etc... " And a killer released at a time when his supposed strengths are minimalized by core mechanics and rules. He isnt good in a chase, cant really stop looping. Just a hard time to release this killer and go "Oh yeah, THIS is a REAL KILLER" (Not always the message but this is new content, lots of draw to it

True very true and that what I been doing I took a break and play fortnite destiny 2 borderlands 3 and others.
0 -
Me neither I won't buying it and they had bad perks that really don't help much on the game. I just wish it was a prisoner and in a jail.
1 -
If the god loop in rancid abattoir was permanently blocked off and a breakable wall was in the meat hook room it would make the map way better for slower killers
2 -
Bro of course he will that's his whole power
2 -
they fixed lery's. It was worth DCing on loading in before. Now its just very, very, very bad.
0 -
He’s completely useless on gen pressure and coupled with the fact that breaking his chain by body blocking is extremely effective against him. He might as well be the weakest killer r n. Especially how gen speed is in its current state, but that’s another can of worms for another day.
Tbh his release was quite a let the let down. Especially when Huntress is 10x better than him...
If anything this patch will dive ppl (killers) away even more and that’s the reality of it and that obviously seems what the devs want nowadays..especially making changes to sabotage..

Wait. You guys think deathslinger is bad? "Another killer console will avoid"?
I play PC and Console and seeing how the deathslinger plays is amazing! Yes, he needs a few buffs but the fact that he can cancel his chain with an early M1 is great. Then pair that with unrelenting and the survivors are screwed. I don't mind a killer that gives deep wound on first hit because that's gonna time waste. His 110% movement speed seems really out of place but other than that, I love this killer and look foward to him. "I haven't enjoyed DLC since Plague" The Plague and the killers after are fun in their own way and they are FAR from weak. Some need buffs but I find them all enjoyable, especially Ghostface and Oni (my two mains on CONSOLE).

I haven't gone anywhere yet. BUT it will bring me back into playing killer. He seems fun to play and I used to play a lot of CS:GO before DBD so I like to think my aim is... aight. Should be fun.
0 -
I think he will bring people back quite literally

Honestly, it's pushing me further away. I don't like the concept of DbD being like a FPS. If I want to play a FPS I'm going to go to a game with a better dev team that knows how to build and manage their game.
Add in some of the concepts of the character's perks and I think it makes survivors focus even more on gens. I fully disagree with punishing survivors for doing totems. I want them doing things other than gens. That helps slow things down. If they are going to get a debuff or be revealed to the killer for 10+ seconds (Holy crap that's a very long time!!!), why risk totems, get back to gens and take your chances.
I think the devs may have a vision, but they have no quality control function and it keeps getting in their way. Someone on their team should be responsible for pointing out the potential pitfalls of their ideas. We saw it with MoM and dozens of other things.
They don't learn from their mistakes and they keep damaging their own game. It's a testament to how unique the original design of the game was. It has been able to survive the horrible mismanagement that has occurred since release.
Going to take a break and hope that is all I need. Considering the disgust I feel at the direction and poor management at this point, I'm afraid it won't be the answer.
GG All.

He looks fun, which is why I'm currently building up BPs so I can get some decent lvls in him ASAP. As long as I have fun with a killer, I'm happy. I typically end up figuring out a playstyle and build that makes it work. Been able to do well with low tier killers before after putting in the time, so if thats where this guy ends up (although he looks decent) I'll probably still do just fine.

Funny I actually enjoy killer and survivor. I find survivor way too boring anymore, but what is killing the game for me is the mass of bugs, dedicated server issues, not knowing who has red ping, and broken mechanics getting not fixes.
2 -
It all comes down to if they buff him properly enough coming out of PTB to be high rank viable.
