Apologies to killers

The new DLC is out today and yet again we continue to have another weak killer (give it a week with this one) with even worse duff perks.

Meanwhile the survivor looks okay but perk wise it will be a SWFs wet dream being able to insta heal your looper whilst they go back into stealth mode.

Looks like I'll continue to play survivor and see wait times increase whilst BHVR program their AI killers which will make the game boring and predictable and dead :(

Positive note in looking forward to a new map!

    Seems like another anti tunnel perk lol, Unhook your friend then give the the insta heal another swf bully perk imo. Say someone is being toxic is hell and all they teammates just use the perk to insta heal them

    That's what I picture happening. Yet another example of perks being broken when combined. They need to throw certain perks into a category and restrict how many of those certain perks you can equip.

    Thing is, that breaks any sense of creativity in the game. Yes, many survivors and killers are not creative and slap the same perks on all builds without even thinking if they go well with each other, but that doesn't mean that you should restrict the rest of people in their loadouts. It would be unfair and cause complaints on both sides

    Considering all the killer nerfs lately, what combination of perks for killer is powerful these days? I think the killer community might take that change as a positive. If survivors can;t stack ds, adren, bt and this new perk, killers might take it as a buff lol

    What you say in the end doesn't make sense.

    To use styptic on yourself you need to be injured. To use "for the people" you need to be full health. What you say there is not possible.

    It's actually appalling how people read patch notes in this community, or how they view their experience with the game for that matter. "All the killer nerfs"? What nerfs? Ruin and...? What? Doctor has been buffed heavily, Freddy's rework put him in the top. Spirit's "nerfs" were barely noticable. If we're talking months back, Nurse is still easily one of the strongest Killers in the game and I can't even remember ever having gotten less than 2 kills with her in any match. Getting to rank 1 is still ridiculously easy - I don't know what you're asking for here other than not having to put in more effort for no reason. Just for statistics, 803 of my 1730 killer games played with a full loadout are all-kills. That's roughly 47% - or almost every other game. And this entire OP is criticising a killer who isn't even out for real, live experimentation yet.

    Yes, there are super strong SWF teams out there who will most likely wreck the majority of games they're in, but that's a different kind of problem with the game having to do with communication levels not suited for its design (in my opinion). It's hardly representative for the game. I don't know, I honestly don't think the game is as unbalanced and broken as people say.

    Broken needs more downsides if people are dreading survivors having it.

  • EvilJoshy

    I think the obsession needs more downsides. Unless the killer is running rancor there's like no negative. Hell if the killer is running stbfl or pwyf they are more likely to leave you alone if your the obsession.

    They don't mean the perk Unbreakable, they mean the broken status.

    So from the other end of the map away from the gates.

    You run to the hook full health.

    Unhook with borrowed time.

    Insta heal them with new perk.

    You use septic and pick up insta heal med kit

    You both then run the entire map to gates on full health and septic/BT.

    I can't wait to see how overpowered SWFs will now become, wait... they are balanced and this was planned all along BHVR?

    BRING OUT THE AI KILLERS

    You do know that you can't use styptic when broken right? Anything to do with healing cannot be done when affected by the broken status effect so just go after the person who's broken.

    This might turn out to be a very strong perk. But don't forget that this is a trade, not a heal. Net you heal nothing. The most powerful usage of this perk is probably to get up slugged survivors. Healing someone off the hook just makes the trade easier for the killer, knowing that he doesn't have to deal with DS.

    @bilaueta Styptic doesn't work with this perk. You can't heal while you're healthy nor while you're broken.

    @BigBubs @Mo4ntus I think he means broken, not unbreakable

    Obsession either gets you tunneled or accidentally buffs the killer. And only one perk gives them any distinct advantage, which is Dying Light.

  • EvilJoshy
    EvilJoshy Member Posts: 5,295

    What I hate about obsession is I don't run ds. Because of that the game mostly puts me as the obsession. If I swf, all my friends run ds yet Im the one made the obsession -.-

  • BigBubs
    BigBubs Member Posts: 1,131

    Oh ok lol

    Yeah you can't use a medkit on yourself since you gotta start a heal , but you can't be healed while broken.

  • Mo4ntus

    Honestly I think that for the people is more dangerous because you’re just making survivors more comfortable not healing I can definitely see a good player who will bring for the people dead hard resilience then either adrenaline or ds whenever they see a killer slug they’ll heal someone run to a gen and rush it because 2 people working on a gen with resilience cuts the time down to about 30 seconds if it’s the last or second to last they will be able to pop adrenaline very quickly

    I have a question: Would you consider yourself an average killer, or above or even below average?

  • Ardjet
    Ardjet Member Posts: 85

    I'm not really comfortable answering this question, since it's going to sound like bragging no matter how I put it. I've put the hours in, and I'm an old school FPS gamer, making a game like DBD easily accessible in the killer role. Seeing as I've also played a bit professionally through the years, it's possible that my mindset and will to experiment is helping me a lot along the way. Above average is probably the straight answer. I'm very competitive, and I always play games to become the best I can be.

    I'm sure it'll turn out as busted and unfair as original mettle of man, it's easy to outrun the short broken timer

  • Ardjet

    My post disappeared, strange. Anyway, I don't feel that comfortable answering that question myself. However, I've put in the hours, and I've been an avid FPS gamer since I was a child. Seeing as I've also played professionally quite a bit throughout the years, I guess a more simplistic game like DbD is a lot easier getting into and perfecting over time. I guess the straight answer is above average. I'm very competitive, and I always try to become the very best I can be.

    We already had those unlogical posts at begiining of the PTB, stop this! We already told you thats not the case. But like every chapter killers complain abut survivor perks, and exactly nothing changed.
