My Problems with Dead by Daylight
1.) I am so exhausted with sweaty killers slugging for the 4 kill. I'm so sick of it. I do not want to sit here and watch my character moan and cry for, what feels like an eternity, while they look for another survivor hiding anymore. It makes me so sick of the game. I get punished if I DC. I know, I know - run unbreakable. Just for them to do it again. Give me an option to give up when slugged, please. I'm so sick of the sweat for 4 kill.
2.) Being hit through pallets and vaults is out of control. The latency ALWAYS favors the killer, so much to the point that I've been steps away from a vault and been hit. I get being hit as you're going through the window, or even as you're landing but once you're through, enough is enough.
**I'm sure all of this has been brought up before by various members of the community, but this is ridiculous. I want to love the game. But I also want them to polish the game. It doesn't feel polished despite it's insane success and duration since release.

Your first problem is with players, not the game. As for giving up when slugged, imagine how many players will do that instead of disconnecting. It's bad enough that hook suicides exist. That ruins the fun for everyone in the match.
Your second problem is being worked on - server side hit validation should be coming soon.
I do agree that the game needs a lot of work though. It's in a terrible state but the devs' priority is and will always be more DLC and skins.

I, respectfully, disagree that it's a problem with the players. It's a mechanic in the game that is abused by killers sweating for a 4 kill. If we don't want to be able to "give up" while slugged, then the killer should suffer HEAVY negative bonuses for every slugged player in the game. Maybe slow them by an increasing percentage 30 seconds after the slug begins. Call it "The Entities' Hunger" or something. There could be answers to fixing it, the question is whether or not the dev's want to. The gave tons of answers to infinite loops and even a player that is besting you in a loop (read: bloodlust) but nothing to improve the quality of life for a survivor.
There is nothing fun about being slugged. There is nothing fun about slugging as the killer, either.
The polish that should be there on a game with this much support from the community, that's been successful for 4 years, is not there and it should be.

I personally love the idea of a give up button. Say after 30 seconds or a minute or whatever of being on the ground you have the option to give up. Being slugged is so boring but sadly it is a genuine strategy. You are very likely to get a 4k if you adopt this strategy, so why make the survivor watch? I get your a killer and all but it is a video game, let us have fun lmao. I know that suicides are very annoying but sometimes its just gotta happen. A lot of people wont press that button cus they havent lost hope, but when theres 3 people on the ground and one person runs the killer for ages, those slugs get bored. Let us play the next game.

I'm not saying the game doesn't need polish, it does, but I think you're exasperated. I've gotten like that with this game a couple of times. So I play other things sometimes, or drag my husband along with me for the slaughter. Laughter can make this game a whole lot more enjoyable, where as when I play solo a lot I get in a serious mind set.

honestly ur right cheetocultleader, just a relaxing game with one or two friends can really make the game better. stop thinking about ranks and bloodpoints for a bit and just enjoy the game

Honestly, I have to agree 100% with OP.

i think you there should be an option to turn cross play off because PC killers are sweaty and it's nearly impossible to escape. Not playing the game till I can turn it off. It's annoying and we should have an option.
