Two reasons make me hesitate to take Pyramid ..


1; The nerve, like the others!


2; The pyramid track does not last long.. fear of boring me vs good survivor,Crouch just to avoid it OK !


What do you think are you going to buy it ?


EDIT : Like Resident evil I like all the Silent hill !πŸ˜€

    I was all for buying him but unless his perks become a little better I will most likely pass on him, he has an interesting concept with the cage, but i feel that will get old fast.

    Probably.

    I'll buy him. Whether the perks are bad or not, I can experiment with playstyles and tactics to make them work. His power is decent and would make him a very viable killer.

    Definitely getting him. I have plans for his perks on others and I'm excited to use a build I mapped out for him. >:3

    Well considering I plan on buying all the characters, yeah kinda have to. That and he looks interesting to play.

    Perks are trash power is cool

    I was excited to Play him but he needs major buffs first.

    Situational broken status during chase ?

    Undetectable that reveals your location ?

    Healing information outside of your range to capitalize and requires 2 people not using selfcare to then also split up knowing the perk will penalize them for doing so...


    Yeah that'll help me kill them lol

    He definitely seems like a great antiloop character, but I would like to test him out first. This right here is one of the biggest problems about dead by daylight - the fact that you can't test out a DLC character without purchasing them first. I thought the deathslinger would be a really cool character that I would enjoy playing as, but come to find out the FPS mechanic just did not suit my play style at all, and unfortunately I had to spend $8 to find that out.πŸ˜•

    I'll probably buy him because i only have 3 months left to play this game...

    Gonna enjoy the rest of it while it lasts

    I'd rather wait for the first buff/nerf/change they do to Pyramid and or the chapters perks before deciding.

    I cannot wait to get him. I tested him at ptb and played him sadly a lil barely (due the cue times in germany aprox 30 minutes). I will improve my playstyle and if it fits, i will main that Pyrathing :)


    Ya his Perks are not as good as we all expected, but tbh, we all play with the Perks, we are usually using on other killers, so this is not the point to decide in my opinion.

    It's nothing too big actually, i just need to leave my home, and not bringing my pc with me for three years

    I'll probably buy him just so I can piss of survivors that depend on DS way too much :P

  • SnakeSound222

    Yep! He seems like a fun and decently strong Killer to play.

    I will without a doubt buy triangle man.

    I hope they make atleast 1 or 2 of his perks not niche cause they are all forgettable but it's gonna be a yes. I really loved silent hill 1-3 and konami has ######### on the silent hill franchise for years now with crappy prequels and sequels after team silent was broken up so i guess this game is the only way to enjoy silent hill besides going back to play the old games on ps2 or playing a ######### pachinko machine in japan.

    I'm buying it. And buying it for several others as well.

    It's a cornerstone in Dead by Daylight.

    It all makes sense now!

    If the devs released Pyramid Head with strong perks then Survivors will whine about "pay to win." If the devs subseqently nerf said perks then the Killers who bought Pyramid Head will file complaints of being ripped off. (This is what happened with Freddy.)

    It makes more sense to release Pyramid Head with weak perks, let consumers buy him for the novelty, buff his weak perks later on, and get even more sales when players buy him for the perks; all without complaints of pay-to-win or being-ripped-off.

    Pretty smart of them.

    I always buy all killers as soon as they come out and dump 1mil BPs into em. The fact they just gave me 500 auric cells for doing a DBD quiz just makes it easier.

    I'm so Silent Hill starved that yes I will buy it, Silent Hill 2 was a master piece, but 3 remains my favorite of all time. Im happy to have both PH and Heather (Cheryl.) Hell .. I will actually play survivor now just because of Heather. I hope they allow her alt costumes from the game, she had like 8 or so.

    I dunno bout that. We still havent seen if theyre gonna make any changes from what we've seen on the PTB...but apart of me still remembers how quick MoM hit the meta and stayed there for like a month.

    i might only buy pyramid head with AC, but honnestly, i hate everything about this chapter but the map, the perks sucks, the killer power is so easy to counter, just take the second hit to avoid the torment effect and so make him hook you, easy to dodge long rage attack, not worth buying really,

    I still think there's a lot of potential to have a lot of fun with Pyramid Head. That being said, I've seen a lot of streams lately where a lot of players got a chance to play test both the new killer and the new survivor, Cheryl, in the new map, and I think it speaks volumes to see a lot of streamers using perks that are not exclusive to either Pyramid Head or Cheryl.

    Cheryl's best perk looks to be the one that locks down a gen preventing the killer from kicking it, but even then it prevents you or any other survivor from working on it, while at the same time letting the killer know that this is a preferred generator that the survivors are going to go back to.

    So I don't know. Pyramid Head still looks to be a lot of fun, Cheryl not so much.

    Don't. He's at best a lower mid tier killer. Power and perks are a waste of time. If you feel like inflating your bloodweb for $10 then go ahead, I already made a post about why the chapter sucks if you want to read it.https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/158833/silent-hill-dlc-isnt-worth-buying/p1

    Yup. I’ve been a silent hill fan for quite some time, having pyramid head in the game is a dream come true for me and others

    We already know he has throwaway perks. Doubt much will be changed by release.

  • The_Bootie_Gorgon

    I'm buying it, not sure for which platform yet though.

  • ClaudetteFurtive
    ClaudetteFurtive Member Posts: 22

    I recap the capabilities..


    1; it can strike survivors through obstacles. The only way for survivors to counter is to squat...


    2; he sends the survivors into a cage (maybe even camp the cage).


    3; during the chase, he can draw a line, so it's easy to spot a survivor surrounded. The affected survivor is followed by barbed wire.


    I’m sure he’s going to slaughter and that many people will want the nerve...

    I'm holding off because all the killer perks are meh. The one perk I've been wanting for a while and even suggested was getting Undetectable when performing the break action on gens. However it has so many downsides on the perk it's too situational unless you're like a Hillbilly or something.

    It's a no go unless they buff the perks or at least make them a bit more reasonable. Don't care about the survivor not because she's a bad character but it doesn't make sense to me that she is paired with Pyramid Head.
