Devs there’s one last thing you need to add to the dstrike change

Little bit overkill tbh

Nah. They only other things DS needs now is:

• The ability to use it twice to make it a true anti-tunneling perk.
• No "accidental" deactivations. If someone decides to try & heal you or if you accidently tap a gen or something, it shouldn't deactivate right away, but only if the person does said action for more than 3 seconds.
• Should also deactivate if the killer downs & hooks somebody after you get unhooked because they clearly weren't tunneling.

Hey now, no need to be hostile. I play on console & a lot of actions are binded to the same button, so I've definitely tapped a gen by accident before if I was trying to heal someone nearby, vault, pick up an item, etc.

Also I understand your point on DS only being used once, but I figured since it was being nerfed quite a bit that another use would be fair. But either way, I'm not complaining.

No worries man.

But yeah, I agree with both of your points. I just thought I'd mention my idea because you never know, someone might see where I'm coming from.

Guess I just gotta be more careful from now on!

Your rescuer is inured. You get unhooked. The killer instantly goes for you. It counts as a protection hit. DS de-activated.

Or, you get tunneled off hook. You happen to be hit while in proximity to an injured teammate. DS de-activated. Again.

That'll be a no from me.

Devs have confirmed that it's healing and NOT being healed.

Because of this I'm against protection hits disabling DS.

As a Forced Penance user, it's shockingly easy to force a protection hit as the Killer whenever you feel like it.

No, I agree with @Karao_Ke here. Just because you play mouse and keyboard and have the privilege of not having a bunch of the same actions bound to the same button, doesn't mean that everyone else does. The possibility of "abuse" from tapping a gen to stop regression honestly doesn't really seem like something that matters more than accidental deactivation. I think BHVR absolutely should make sure that you have to total more than a full second altogether of touching the gen before it deactivates solely due to this issue.

I myself play on a good PC on mouse and keyboard after a long struggle of switching from controller, but I well remember my switch days where it was often almost completely out of your control. If you have bad frame rate (*cough* most console players *cough*) you are hard pressed to make a good fast vault on a window when there is a gen next to it. Think, killer shack window with a generator inside. Back in my switch days, I HATED running shack if a gen was next to the window because it was EXTREMELY difficult to avoid touching the gen when you are simply trying to vault the window. You CAN avoid it on controller as long as your game runs well and you have a bit of mechanical finesse (you hold off on pressing your vault button a little longer in this set up scenario, I believe) but you do not really have this option on consoles that run poorly. I myself was very aware of the difficulty and I still found it nearly impossible to avoid at times, as you CANNOT predict frame drops that will screw up your button press timing.

Although this personally does not affect me now, I would really hate to see this shamble players who are ALREADY at a disadvantage. If you are unable to avoid touching a gen or even accidentally heal someone if they're near a vault or pallet (downed person near a vault or pallet point can REALLY mess you up on controller), you are quite likely one of the players who most definitely needs DS (even though it also happens to good players held back by their platform's performance).

You may not empathize if you have never played on controller on a poor performing console/pc, but please understand that it is a genuine issue that almost EVERY console controller player has dealt with and often continues to deal with, and is definitely more problematic than "gen touch abuse", in my opinion.

Hey, thanks for explaining it. I didn't feel like reasoning with him because I didn't want to get into a huge debate, but I appreciate you sharing what console players sometimes have to deal with. It's really frustrating especially with that example you gave about the shack gen, my god has that gotten me downed more times than I can count.

I just don't see how adding a 1 - 3 second total of doing an action would be manipulated..

I agree, though I doubt this change would even happen in the first place due to the poor optimization on console all-around. I play on PS4 (just recently got a PS5 & I'm hoping I won't have to deal with this anymore once I set it up), and the FPS completely drops if bloodlust kicks in, when I Dead Hard, etc. It's terrible but if they still haven't fixed stuff like that, I doubt they'll do this.

Just letting you know, I respect you and your friend to the moon and back because I also have a Switch, and I bought DBD for a "on the go" experience a long time ago. Needless to say, I'll never play that again unless I have a huge craving when I'm not home, because it runs so so so bad on Switch & not to mention that every map is extremely dark. If any console needs optimization the most, it's Switch.

In what way is that more?

All those deactivation conditions could have and should have been expected with a DS nerf, since it always remaining active for 60 seconds, regardless of whether you actually get tunnelled or are happily doing objectives, is a major issue with the current perk. I am not the least bit surprised about them. If anything, I'm surprised they didn't add entering a locker as well.

Also, as a side note here. Saying that DS will be nerfed enough already and people shouldn't ask for more anymore is not an argument, considering people still ask for BBQ nerfs these days.

Baiting the killer wouldn't be a problem because it can be countered just like old DS.

If the survivor decides to gen tap, they can decide to either be slugged because they baited & the killer punished that or do the gen & risk getting their DS deactivated.

I would add a buffer of about 3 seconds of being healed by a teammate so you don't get unhooked, love tapped by a survivor then get screwed.

Second part of your response... lol.

Anyways... they would never add it because it is not a needed change. It is not a bug, it is not bad game design, and it is intended to function the way it's being explained.
