Kill Switch update: The Mastermind has been Kill Switched due to an issue with Virulent Bound. The Mastermind will be re-enabled once this issue is fixed.

Stopped playing last year of December and now back

Look at some videos, not played the game, still have it uninstall and...

What the hell has happened to this game?

Seriously

Every.Single.Video that I have watched has at least 1 or 2 gens done in about 20-30 seconds into the match

Worse of all, there was one that I watch (I believe it was either otz or monto, where he found one survivor early into the match (I would say about after 8-12 seconds when the match started), downed them quickly as he could, hooked them and then boom, gen went off and then boom again, another.

I am so glad I haven't installed dbd and mostly likely still won't after seeing that #########, how the ######### is this allowed? What? Do we have to finish our chase's in less then 15 seconds now?


I believe I heard something about the devs "balancing" the tool boxes, and so when I did, look at the changes and heard what they said, and too me it sounded like they basically just said "We shorten the usage of tool boxes but made them faster at repairing then they did previously"

    Game is for survivors, killer doesn't matter. The game in a few months will be called surviving by daylight. Haha I have played 2 years this game and nowadays is the worst time...

    You're all acting like babies really, especially those of you that are running some of the strongest killers in the game. Otz whines about everything, even while winning and getting the 4k. Sure the first gens going can be demoralizing, but it becomes much easier to patrol the final few generators remaining. Is it fun? No. If they were to rework the early game, they'd need to adjust every killer as well around that change. Certain add-ons a killer can carry already turns the game into a joke of difficulty. Ebony Mori is handed out constantly in prestige three blood webs which already trivializes the game.

    I have yet to see Otz act in the way you detail him to, in his youtube videos. In a video that is only a month old now. Titled. "When your team absolutely carries you dead by daylight" When he is playing survivor. He full of joy and goes around saying well done, to people who help to save him. I seen him explain builds or how these set of perks are meant to work with one another. I have not seen him whine about everything. Which by the way. Everything means everything, this is not a dungeons and dragons book where a always evil race means mostly evil but once in awhile you will find that good drow who duel wields weapons.

    At times, I feel like BHVR ignore what the community say because of the exaggeration of a problem.

    "1 or 2 gens getting done in 20-30 seconds", that ain't happening unless all the Survivors spawned together with toolboxes and by a 4-sided gen.

    Also I feel like they didn't follow their road map mostly, the overall heath/gameplay work was just another bundle of bandaids, yea bear traps not being able to be sabotage is nice but that's just about it. Also the ranks are still just as useless as they were before.

    Yeah 20-30 was a bit exaggerated

    I would say more like 1-2 gens done in about 40-70 seconds in, which still, is too fast for early game.

    Some cases in videos I see, the first gen is done in 20-30 seconds which is bad.

    There's several factors that go into the one or two gens popping early. One is that survivors spawn near a gen. I don't know if it's possible not to with the map layouts, but they do and three of them at minimum can be working on them unharassed at the start. This leads to the early gens popping. What's often not talked about is how significantly the game slows down once you hook the first survivor and the map contracts.

    The survivors popping the first gens they find are seemingly always on the same side. To split the gens at the start would cost them set up time when (at least when I play survivor) the killer will often give up early if you give the appearance of gen rushing.

    My point is that early gens popping often play right into your hands and a lot of my games the damage is done when there's one or two gens left. Heck, I had a game today where my first hook there were two gens left and I had a four kill with one gen left. And none of the three last generators had any progress.

    What is this thread? Seriously. "I stopped playing last December but I watched a few videos and I just wanted to swing by and let you know I'm glad I quit." If you don't actually play the game then your opinion doesn't mean much. But uh.. thanks for the update?

    Remember, killers are always the victim, killers must always play victim if they want the game to change, constructive feedback wont help anyone.

    Survivors are bad. This game is bad. The devs dont do anything because they hate us, killers, and cater towards survivors because they buy cosmetics, while us, poor killer mains, must endure the pain of playing this game.

    I'm pretty sure you got the wrong streamer. I never seen him get mad except give them prop numerous time or explain his builds.

    Those videos were likely due to toolboxes pre-nerf. Now, toolboxes have been nerfed and killers have switched to nuRuin, Corrupt Intervention, Lullaby, Thanataphobia, and Dying Light. I play matches at all rank levels and 90% of them end with 1 gen not completed with 4 done. The only rank where that isn't the case is rank 1. There's plenty you can do especially with many OP killers to choose from. Try it for yourself and make up your own mind. Don't rely on videos pre-toolbox nerf.
