I personally love the new chapter and I love the Korean theme the devs went.

However I'm tired of seeing people post how the killer doesn't fit, "cringe", trash, etc. I can see why people may not like it, but Its not as bad as they think tbh. He's probably the more realistic killer we have as most killers in the game are pure fictional especially the spirt, nurse, hag, etc. That's why I love him so much and the vibrant colors just matches his charismatic and sadistic tone that just comes with him. I also wanted to point out that a lot of Korean (KPOP) and other asian entertainments like to use vibrant colors anyways. People claim that he's not serious enough, but like... haha we have purple elephants, rabbit outfits, onesies, neon outfits, etc. so I don't get their point.

This is a defense for Ji-Woon since he deserves more justice, but I wanted to know if more people feel this way? :(

    I dunno, Unlike other ranged killers such as Slinger and Huntress the rapid fire mechanic kind of rewards players who cant aim. Especially with console players aimbot assist its going to feel like just plain old stale cheese.


    Also does anyone know if he's going to be premium? (roomer has it the chapter was based on 'perfect blue' because I have 1400 auric cells I'm thinking about spending on the rift

    I think he's really cool. All of his animations have so much character and his music is dope as well.

    So far I really like the killer. Will like him even more when I get a map appropriate skin.

    I like his laugh but he aint going replace my boy doc.

    I might buy him with shards but with my wonky aim on console I don't know how I'll manage.

    I'm pretty excited for him. Love his maniacal ego, his laughs and looks. Power looks fun. Imo a huge step up from the twins.

    I like how he blends in with Survivors, I accidentally mistaken him for one and got punished for that, also his power is interesting, for some reason it feels like a mix between old Legion, Deathslinger and Huntress.

    Visually, he's really neat. I like his wild and playful colors, but power... eh. I'll probably still play him because I like killers with some ranged option.

  • bm33
    bm33 Member Posts: 8,274

    From what I've seen he doesn't seem bad. I think "The Trickster" name should've been used on a killer with mind game ability not knife throwing. Hoping he's fun to play on console with a controller.

    I love this killer. He's got a great style and seems like a fun power, but best of all is he's upsetting so many problematic and toxic players. If he can get them to quit playing, he's immediately the hero of the game.

    I take it you have never seen a horror rendition of a unicorn. Suffice it to say, most tend to be ambush predators that lure people in with happiness and sunshine only to violently gore them with their horn and, because it's horror, eat them alive as they are screaming and helpless as the illusion falls away.

    So yes, I actually would like a unicorn killer in DbD. That could be done so well.

    What's there to be sarcastic about? Any writer can make anything into a slasher. The hallmarks are gore, violence and 1-dimensional characters, especially killers. I've seen some great renditions of horror unicorns, fairies, etc. that could easily be paired down and turned into a monster-slasher concept.

    You are aware that the Demogorgon is an ambulatory fungus, right? Just because something seems dumb on paper doesn't mean it is.

    This.

    I feel like so many people are missing out on how misleading Ji-Woon is supposed to look in comparison to other killers. The fact that he's "normal" is the creep factor. Trapper, big dude in skull mask, Nurse, floating corpse that constantly suffocates on a pillowcase, Oni, giant samurai that transforms into a demon, and now we have the Trickster. A handsome dude with a baseball bat, covered in blood with glowing eyes and a never-ending smirk. That's it? Yep and that's why he's unique.

    I really like the aesthetic but I really hate the default outfit, mostly the color scheme. I'm waiting to see the cosmetics for him because customization is really important to me in a killer.

  • AsherFrost
    AsherFrost Member Posts: 2,340

    I like him. It's good to see dbd branching out into different types of horror across the world. It'll be interesting to see what sort of cosmetic options we get with him.

    As i said, i like the darker look.. i would've rather Teke Teke (not sure if the Spirit is based on her) or Ryuk.. if you know who they are..

    BTW i dodn't find hisoka terrifying.. just crazy.. he is a bad@ss character.. but terrifying.. really?

    I love the aesthetic and the little things they added like his mocking and other sounds. My only complaint is that he's too add-on reliant for mid to high rank play.

    On the PTB this time around I had more gen rushing and bully squads than I've ever gone up against in PTBs before and not having all perks or the option to use better add-ons available at the time showed me his basekit is too weak for a 110 killer. Hopefully by the time he goes live they'll remedy some of these problems.

    My suggestions are:

    1. Increase movement speed.

    2. If not increase movement speed then make it so it takes 4-5 knives to injure or down instead of 8.

    3. Remove the "recoil" from multiple knife throws.

    4. Increase base duration of Main Event.

    5. Allow players to toggle Main Event instead of the gague going down as soon as it's filled without activation.

    Got some bad news for ya, I play on PC with a controller and without a cross hair and for some reason them adding a "recoil" effect from throwing multiple knives it's not good with a controller.

    I just dont like the name and ihe makes me want some unmasked killers added some (including some preexisting ones). Otherwise I like him a lot. He sounds cool

  • Yords
    Yords Member Posts: 5,781

    My first impression was just that he was cool and really fun, but now I am worried the devs might not fix him before he goes live.

    I do like him and he seems awesome, but I think his power is weak and very underwhelming.

    However, I think he can be fixed. I think his knives should bounce one time at base (without the double damage) and needs to be more skillful with a higher reward (at least 8 knives to get one health state... really?)

  • SpookyPumpkinPiez
    SpookyPumpkinPiez Member Posts: 278

    I tried him out yesterday and he seems pretty cool. The more human aspect is what makes him scarier to be honest. AND THOSE KNIVES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL

    I'm all for him from a flavor standpoint (still needs work mechanically, though).
