Killer Choice on PTB

you did nothing wrong, everyone can play what he wants, if they want to face only PH is not your problem. you could have choose GF even only to try the new perks on him, or try the new survivor perk against him

There was no one in the wrong here. DC penalty’s are not implemented in the PTB for a reason, so they can disconnect.

if they were rude by telling you to not play GF that would be a different matter, but then again everyone is allowed to give their opinion and as long as they didn’t insult you/broke any rules, just ignore them..

Well, yes. But unless a mechanic is changed there's no real bug to be found.

It was on the dedicated servers ptb. Which happened right before the stranger things ptb. So there were no killers to be tested, just the servers.

It absolutely won't hurt. But people usually want to try the new stuff. So DC's are gonna happen. 🤷‍♂️

Still no reason to be an ######### on the post-game chat.

Why play GF on PTB when its used to try brand nee things?

Try GF on new map, as OP has stated.

and try GF (or any other killer for that matter) with the new Killer Perks or against the new survivor Perks.

You didn't do anything wrong

But you can't really blame people wanting to go against Pyramid Head

Especially when the biggest focus of the PTB is the Silent Hill content

It does however make sense to use other killers in the case of new character specific bugs occuring

Just a shame people choose to DC over it

Although I feel like I probably would too

If I cared enough to bother with the PTBs anyway

You say this like things don't break frequently in this game lol. Clown is actually bugged atm. When reloading his bottles with the VHS Porn addon, he basically gets a NOED speed boost for some reason.

The only change Clown received was to his speed when throwing his bottles, not when reloading them. Neither his movement speed while reloading nor the VHS Porn add-on were touched in this patch.

Huntress also no longer has decreased movement speed when winding up her hatchets. Nurse can also Blink outside of the new map.

It likely does, but there's always a chance that that isn't the case and there's instead another factor causing that to happen, which is why we play as much of the PTB as we can/actually want to and report bugs accordingly.

The PTB is typically open for one week. After it closes, they spend 1-2 weeks making changes and fixing bugs and such before the patch goes live. So the PTB should close on 2 June, but the patch won't come out for another two weeks after that.

There might not be a new mechanic, but there IS a new map and new perks that need to be tested on various killers. Many maps will offer unique glitches with different killers. Nurse for example is notorious for having huge deadzones where she just cant teleport for no reason at all. Oni's update brought us Nemesis, which showed a glaring problem when comboed with Legion. These are issues that NEED to be tested on PTB so they can see fixes and tweeks before they hit live.

Play what you want. It's a test build. I'd personally suggest you should play to test things, but that's not on you to do. Even against standard killers with live-version perks and nothing new, I'm playing Cheryl with her perks, so information and data are gained on both sides. In your case, I would learn how effective my perks are vs. Ghostface; you would learn what my perks could do playing against me.

The only match I've had where that wasn't really the case was a Myers running around with an Ebony Mori trolling people by tunneling off the hook into the mori. Match lasted 4 minutes and not really anything was gained on either side (killer openly acknowledged they were trolling).

But it was 4 minutes. Survivor queues are instant. Shrug and move on.

Also, test build shouldn't last much longer. Personally would like another week, but we'll see.

Even if it was the new survivor it doesn't affect you Because its JUST A SKIN. PH is a whole new character they are trying to critique. We are trying to see if PH needs a buff or nerf, im just saying if you play anything other than PH or clown expect DC's and have fun when you waited 20+ minutes for a lobby. This is coming from a killer main btw

People were able to find a bug with huntress that she was no longer slow down winding a hatchet this was an unintended side effect of the clown buff now can you imagine if everybody immediately disconnected against a Hunters this would go completely unchecked until it hit live.

When cursed Legacy was released the Perk nemesis was extremely broken on Legion because of how deep wounds worked back then. Can you imagine if everybody disconnected against the Legion who was trying out the new perks instead of facing them again this would have hit live and it would have taken a lot longer to fix.

You seem to act like just because their survivors are skins testing them is not important I'd like you to remember all the ptb Kate Denson. Whose hook screams injured noises and voice in general was extremely irritating and uncomfortable to listen to for both survivors and Killers can you imagine if nobody tested that and that hit live

The ptb is a place to test out how will features not only interact with the game but interact with previous features.

This includes

Testing old killers on new maps

New perks on all The Killers

Changed perks on all The Killers

Testing any Killers that received changes

Testing any survivor perks that received changes

New killer

The new survivor perks

The new survivor themselves

How old survivor perks interact with the new Killer and mechanics

How old killer perks interact with the new Killer and the Mechanics

How old and new perks interact with each other.

If the ptb was exclusively only for the new chapter or the new changes you wouldn't have access to anything else.

Advising people not to experiment and test things out can actively be harmful to the game because it allows bugs and unintended features to slip by

The PTB is not just to test Pyramid head, its to test EVERYTHING new. Running Pyramid head every match doesnt do that. It would be a real shame if because we only ever went against Pyramid head, that we completely overlook huge errors that has to do with using the new perks on old killers (playing Legion on the Oni's PTB showed the problem with nemesis on Legion) or using old killers on the new map (pretty much nurse on EVERY new map, lol. Theres always deadzones that she just cant blink through).

First of all you can stop taking words out of my mouth, thank you very much. I said its fine you can test other things but expect DCs because people want to go against PH and clown. Its just facts, if i wanted to go against a ghost face i would have done it in the live servers. Im not waiting 20 minutes just to play against a ghost face when i can just go on live and get a 5 minute queue

As long as you are using at least one of the new perks, I don’t see a problem. However, I also wouldn’t blame a survivor for DCing especially if they’ve faced a different killer once already. There are some people who will use a different killer and with the same old perk builds...these killers i consider trolls who are wasting everyone’s time.

I think for me it would depend on how much I already played the PTB. If my very first few matches (directly after the Devstream) would not be against PH I would have probably DC'd too... But later on, I don't mind facing other Killers, to see how they play out on the new map and with the new Perks etc... But all that aside... No, you didn't do anything wrong. Never let someone else tell you how to play. Doesn't matter if PTB or not, in the end of the day it's just your decision on how you want to spend your time ingame.

(Sorry for my bad english, I really tried)
