Grabs.

The game cancelling grabs is complete bullshit.

Literally escaped because my grab was taken away.

    This happens to me all the time... My condolences, sir. It's unfortunate we can't even play stealthy and get grabs anymore :/

    I think grabs are similar to the way Dead Hard works, in the way that they require ‘precision’ in sync with the servers.

    Guess which one is getting fixed though?

    Grabs -> Latency

    Dead Hard -> From what I've read it still handles like it was meant for P2P. Redoing the implementation of that perk is easier than making sure you have a solid connection to a server.

    I've had games where I get bullshit grabs. It's all about the connection. Bringing up dead hard when it's not even close is distracting.

    Don't get me wrong - the server setup definitely has problems, but in fairness to the Devs, grabs are very hard to 'fix'.

    If BHVR were to 'fix' grabs in that grabs were always awarded to the killer in scenarios like the one in the video, you'd likely have the exact same problem but for the survivors, in that you'd get grabbed seemingly after leaving whatever you're working on. This would be just as unfun for survivors as it is for killers currently.

    There are workarounds to this that could potentially mitigate the problem, but we have to appreciate that they're not always easy to implement.

    I think if the grab failed for the killer, it should definitely apply at least a basic attack of an injury instead of : I am now going to grasp the air as my target escapes.

    Welcome to dbd. Be happy you're not playing Nurse where you get the blood wipe and fatigue.

    Oh, I had probably the worst experience playing DBD in a while today.

    I experienced so many bugs, grab bugs, Nurse's blink bug which spazzes out, Blight sliding off half of the objects on Yamaoka, slugged survivors making zero noise and probably some other stuff I forgot about.

    Really makes me wonder why I still play killer.

    Maybe it is time for DBD to embrace the IdV route. Remove grabs. Instant downs against mid action survivors.

    Lol.

    While I think that getting hit midaction should have worse consequences than just getting hit, I'd also prefer working grabs.

    I did say I think didn’t I? Also, I was using DH as an example, don’t take it so personally.

    they nerfed it most likely because killers are 2 strong

    I don't expect them to fix grabs ever. No I'm not being sarcastic; the same reason they don't fix bugs on killers like Nurse and Oni or the fact they don't fix sounds. I truly do not believe grabs will ever be fix in any way shape or form.

    Dude. I know your pain. I had a surv do a gen in my face. I grab.. it gives me the animation but they finished the gen in my face and run away all in 2 seconds..

    I love how killers just give survivors a nice little tap on shoulder to let them know they're coming.

    I believe all the interactions that are not related to injuring/downing survivors with m1/m2 attacks are validated on survivor side. Grabs, head ons, pallet stuns, tonic intoxications, flashlight blinds, gf reveals, and so on are all survivor-sided, or at least seem to be.

    Happens 3 out of 5 matches for me

    I’ve been having partial grab animations, lately

    ...funny tho, how I seem to be getting grabbed all the time when I’m playing survivor🤔
