These hitboxes are the worst dbd has seen in 4 years.

I can usually get instant games as killer at this time... not anymore. lol

And another thing. This is not the hitboxes being a problem at all, this is just desync.

I was watching Zubat and I was flabbergasted at how often that was happening, even in cases where there was no major interaction, like after a short and uneventful chase.

Luckily, I think I've fully transitioned to the phase where I prefer watching others playing this game instead of playing it myself. Can't say I'm disappointed so far.

Holy cow, right??? I've gotten nothing but complete a-hole killers since the update. There have been a FEW nice ones, but everyone else has been playing dirtier than a dishrag even though they're also having the shortest chases of their life due to the fact that survivors cannot accurately judge anything, and even if they do, it's a lose/lose for them at pallets unless they have a boatload of distance at a safe pallet LMAOOO (otherwise, it's drop pallet-get hit anyways/run through pallet, also get hit anyways because everyone is swinging through pallets now because they know there is a good chance they'll hit anyways and maybe even pallet vacuum to your side)

I don't blame killers for taking advantage of what's going on, but it's incredibly irksome to see how a large amount of them are behaving, as if they wouldn't be having a more difficult time catching someone if they could actually run a chase properly

While many people do realize this, I think a lot of people are conflating it with the idea of it being hitbox related due to the animation changes for survivor. People who don't have a huge amount of knowledge on such things are very reasonably going to believe it is for that. And to be fair- even if the desync issue was nonexistent, people WOULD be taking a lot more hits than they used to, as animations HAVE affected gameplay as far as being able to dodge hits goes. I myself have never been able to 360 (😔) but it's almost funny watching some of my poor friends attempt some sort of movement juke not only get completely shut down by the different animation movement, but also the messed up hits from the desync LMAOO

Anyways, I really hope it gets fixed ASAP. Really frustrating to play survivor right now LOL

What exactly are you expecting from hit validation? That it only relies on your end and completely ignores what the killer sees on his end? Latency will still play a part even with hit validation. The only difference is that hits are validated on the server instead of the killer side.

It's not an omniscient being that is able to monitor what happens on your side and the killer side in real time, it still relies on information being sent to the server from both of you to compare if the hit is reasonable or not, supposedly according to what BHVR said about it at least.

Is hit validation perfect? Most definitely not, there is no such thing as perfect to begin with after all.

Personally I rarely see or hear, have to take this with a grain of salt because some people do get upset when hit/downed, about my hits with my ping of 30 ms.

You're probably right, it's just a bit of personal gripe when people laser focus on one problem like it's the only thing affecting it.

I could never 360 before either so I haven't had the chance to see how it compares between the new and old animations.

I also hope it gets fixed, not enjoying the drop in rank I have had because of all the other bugs that was introduced.
