The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Tonight is going great.

First game of the night - First person downed DC's and the Ghostface proceeds to hard tunnel me. One of my teammates tried to block and take a hit. He went around him, downed me, ate the DS, and hooked me again. I didn't bother to struggle and moved on to the next.

Second game of the night - Doctor slugs everyone at five gens.

Third game - I cleanse a dull totem and a Nea brings the Twins to me. I go down, she's ignored. She proceeds to spend the entire time I'm chased Urban Evading near the gen she was working on while it regresses. I kill myself to get out of her game. Why work on gens when the killer is busy when you can do nothing?

Is anyone out there having fun tonight?

    Oh fudge, did you purchase the pass before finishing it? Man, I'm sorry, that sucks. The Rift basically forces people to play and grind it out on nights like this where you'd be better off doing aaannnyyything else. I take it you can't switch to killer because you have survivor challenges to do?

    Ya I often have to take long breaks from this game as the grind is brutal and mostly pointless. I picked stardew back up now that 1.5 is out so it's not so bad to play a match or too then gtfo

    That's awful. My queue time right now is 10 seconds. It'll become something like 5 minutes later tonight but right now I have no problems finding games and the sweaty killers are all asleep.

    Well, I almost played you guys as Clown around 9:30, but I bailed ‘cause I thought it was a SFW an I just got rocked by one in the previous match. Probz would’ve been GGs for ya, if it helps make your night any smoother😌

    I had a few of those *everybody rushing to see who can DC first!* matches tonight🙄

    time for me to enjoy some Christmas movies an jus chill from DBD for a bit🥳

    "Is anyone out there having fun tonight?"

    Well, I had a blast tonight with family & friends, but . . . we were playing Overwatch. About to go read some before bed, now. I just wanted to see what was going on in the Fog, but I haven't launched this game since Blight's release.

    Oh I was playing that too just an hour ago. Hahhaa.

    BTW nice to see you Klmeran as I recall last time we were also talking Overwatch (this was on my other account that got banned).

    We probably were, LOL. It's been my main game since it launched, and it helps that I can relax and chill in it with a 4 to 6 stack family & friends group. We mostly just play Quick Play Classic and Mystery Heroes in the Arcade. Almost got this week's Ana challenge skin already. Next week is the one I'm waiting for. Love the Roadhog Frosty skin. Bought the Zenyatta Toybot skin last night since he's one of my mains, and still sitting on 40k coins. I usually only spend them during Anniversary or Halloween Terror.

    Had a good night tonight. Was popping off as Soldier 76, Junkrat, and Lucio.

    I only play QPC. Not fond of forced 2-2-2 matches. I already got the Torb, Rein and Moira skin for the Christmas, next saving up for Mei that penguin suit is cute as heck. I just finished Anna's gingerbread challenge which is why I'm right now typing while on hook in DBD. Hahhaha

    I had a couple of games yesterday where Dwight used his ability to see auras to run towards other survivors while in chase. First game, he actually survived (the only one btw).

    The second time, the killer realised what he was doing and tunneled him. Not a fan of tunneling but he needed to go lol

    Well to counter point it, after 10 survivor and 5 killer games I had a generally enjoyable evening with no ingame or pre- or postgame BS. Finished the repair gens and sacrifice survivors rift challenges and generally gg's all round.

    I like to end the night with a last game de-pip challenge, get the maximum amount of bloodpoints possible without safety pipping.

    Build BBQ&C, Thrill of the hunt, Beast of prey, Distressing. No addons or offerings. Squeeze as much out of inefficient play as possible.

    Killer of choice tonight Clown. Hard one as you can't just spam your power for freebee points at the end.

    Hook no more than 3 people once each, kick gens but not enough to get pips from regression, commit to chase and down to slug after hooks but be careful or you'll get chase pips, open gates once powered, break everything for the BP, dropped pallets and breakable walls are your friend.

    Rule numero uno you must commit to the game! No going afk or other scummy game killing stuff (DC etc), survivors must have no reason to believe anything other than they heavily outplayed you by games end.

    Remember enjoy the little things you make your own fun.

    Tonight's depip total 17'000 BP game score, 48'000 with bonus. Almost a new personal best.

    Good luck tomorrow night, hope its a better run.

    I had a game against Ghostface where I was the only one Exposed and I purposely ran to two different teammates, both hid instead of taking a hit for me. A lot of people don't seem to understand the value of taking aggro away from the killer. After I got unhooked I went into a locker to heal with Inner Strength while (that same teammate who wanted to crouch walk around) kept trying open the door. Once i healed and left he just stood there.

    Wait a second- were you on midwich elementary? I was playing a meg with blonde hair and a black outfit trying to block for a feng. This ghostface was blue and tunneling HARDCORE. He even camped. I think the feng DC’ed but I’m not sure. This was yesterday btw?

  • Kilmeran
    Kilmeran Member Posts: 3,142

    Yeah, even though we're a premade group, we loathe 2-2-2. Dumbest idea ever. Sometimes, we just need to switch roles between us mid-match, like if our DPS are having a rough go, me and my 27-year-old son can switch Support with them, take DPS, and usually turn it around between his Ashe and my 76.

    Can't do that in friggin RoleQ. Not to mention, I hear that since the OWL gave away 50k game keys, that RoleQ Quick Play and Comp are smurf flooded now. If so, I'll pass.

    I'm having similar experiences as the OP today.

    I'm already quite burned out due to the rift grind and solo que is as horrible as ever. Ugh I just want to complete it and take a break for a while...

  • meatisadelicacy
    meatisadelicacy Member Posts: 1,920

    Yeah since I got closer than I thought I would I really want to complete it but some nights are just really rough no matter what.

  • meatisadelicacy

    I have the same thing happen to me. I'll be injured and run by two fully healed teammates and they Urban Evade and let me go down.

    I asked a guy once why he didn't help me save a teammate. (I wasn't nasty to him, I just wanted to know why he did what he did). It was before EGC. A spirit was camping the hook which made perfect sense - the gates were open - and there was no NOED, and we were near one of the exits. He was searching a chest while I tried to find a way to sneak in and make the unhook before getting hit. I got hit, ran to him, he healed me, but when I tried to get him to come with me, he refused. He said no one ever helps him so he isn't going to help anyone else.

    I think a lot of people are like that. Teammates are just a tool they can use for their own escape. Most people are bad at the game and they see an escape as the only way to win. I personally like trying to get better. There are times when I'm like, I just did not know what to do in that situation. I die or screw up and my teammate doesn't make it out, but I'm like, well at least next time I can try something else. LOL imagine if everyone used critical thinking and tried to improve at this game???

    In a kill or be killed game, you chose the wrong side with the highest risk of failure as a solo que. I'm sure you had a frustrated time, but this is the game you qued up for and this is the forum you are posting in. Let this be a reminder to you that not everything is going to go according to plan or by how you would like it to be.


    Especially in this game. The other day I saw a video of a hacker playing Ghostface, throwing Huntress axes, let that sink in.

    Tunneling, slugging, randoms not helping or killing themselves. Yeah, it's been " fun "..

  • Moat of my survivor games today I'd get tunneled and teammates cant do gens... my killer games on the other hand are filled with survivors basically running DS, BT, unbreakabill and BNP...

    What rank are you? I also have a sneaking suspicion that they didn't actually tunnel you

    I've had the same experience as the OP. Rank 2 survivor and it felt like when they turned on MMR for the very first time. Nothing was getting done in any of my games. I was the only one doing everything; doing the gens, lasting in chases, rescuing/healing...

    I gave up and played R6 instead. No regrets.

    you probably should blame your teammate instead of the killer in this case.

    first, how can he injure everyone else when you’re slugged? I assume all survivors are around to get a pallet or flashlight save or some other reason so he can injure everyone else without you been rescued. This is your teammates to blame:

    second, you are hooked, and I assume there are 2 survivors hiding around injured, waiting to rescue you. Your teammates should never attempt to unhook when injured.

    No.1 survivor made a mistakes and get downed around the hook, and No.2 survivor makes a mistake at immediately unhook you when the killer just down No.1, possibly without BT. This is your teammates fault for being so altruistic. You should be lucky you have DS to give you second chance. I believe killer picked you up just to waste your DS so you don’t have it in end game. We all know how bs it is in end game.

    third, if you play solo, you just made a mistake of not bringing kindred. If this case happens even with kindred on, then more the reason you should blame your teammates.

    When I play killer, I would be stupid to ignore the unhooking and proceed to hook the No.1 when it’s so close to me. What I would do will be the same as this killer, go back and potentially down both of you, and go back to hook No.1, possibly found the last survivor around, and end the game right there. if not, I will at least injure one of you for unhooking, and go back to No.1.

    remember, deathslinger has poor mobility, so he needs to snowball as much as he can when all survivors are around him. It was the most logical choice from him.

    First game of the night as killer vs toxic 4-man SWF bully squad. One plays the bait, one is the designated Head On mid-chase to prevent bloodlust while the other two do gens. All five games as survivor tonight were against tunnelers and campers.

    That kind of stuff happens to me when I play survivor

    Also I don't go out of my way to do those things (but I lose my thought process a lot under pressure)
