Interview Series episode 3: Yords

I am honestly a little unsure how I discovered this game. I remember my earliest memories of it was watching markiplier and jackspeciteye play it together. Then I had a friend of mine tell me that I should get it. I am also a little embarrassed to say that Ochido (I don't watch him anymore) helped me get into this game as well along with other content creators such as Monto, one mr scott Jund, and especially Noob3. I started to play it in early 2017 and I have been hooked ever since.

I didn't come up with the name myself, it has just always been my silly little nickname. Since I first started my gaming life at the very young age of 3 (I think) or 4, that has always been my name. I have never changed that name on steam, and have only ever chosen other names when playing online flash games such as Bonk.io.

I don't main either side, I play both very equally.

When playing survivor, I main Claudette. I main her because she is just invisible sometimes, it is hilarious to crouch in a corner and not have the killer find you. I sometimes play Kate though since she along with my Feng are the only other characters I have unlocked cosmetics for. Although I only play Feng for dailys and every once in a while I play Kate for her cosmetic (some sort of sweater with a backpack) and... "realistic properties". I play any survivor that I need to complete a daily for, otherwise I just play Claudette.

When playing killer, I don't really think I main any of them either, I like to play all killers. Although I will say that I have not been playing as much Billy as I would like to. I would love to play more Billy, but I have a really hard time trying to get the simple chainsaw hits up close. If there are killers I play more often than others, that would only include Oni, Pyramid head, and lately Blight. They are just really fun and beefy killers that you can't exactly bully so easily. I switch off of these killers every now and then with Plague, Huntress, and any other killer really.

I'm hyped for more of these. This series is very interesting and it's fun being able to talk about the state of the game with others. Can't wait to see what Yords has to say.

My favorite survivor to play with is any survivor who is decent enough while being chased, but more over their decision making. Their overall efficiency is what I love to see, but don't see often unfortunately. That is why I like writing posts encouraging people to use kindred, or tell them about underrated perks or tips for solo queue, so they can coordinate plays.

My favorite survivor to play against is any survivor who is good at a chase and is silly to an extent. What I mean by "silly to an extent" is that they are silly for only a short moment (5-10 seconds). For example, if I am playing killer and I know for sure a survivor is in a locker because I saw them get in it, I walk up in front of the locker and just look around for a second. Look to the left, then right, and then slowly look towards the locker and slowly inch towards it. Usually the survivor gets out and then just looks up at me, begging for mercy. What I don't like is how the game is just completely turned friendly (most of the time) since it is very boring.

My favorite killer to play against? Oni for sure, I love playing him and against him. His power is very much about reads and very quick reactions constantly when he is in blood fury. It is also just awesome seeing a bloodthirsty samurai ogre running around, just very cool to look at.

My least favorite killer to play against would be Spirit. I used to hate deathslinger more, but then I eventually just stopped caring. I hate playing against spirit because she is just very unfun to play against and any good spirit will dominate the survivor team quite easily.

Ohhh another interview, can't wait to see what Yords has to say.

Just like Phasmamain, sorry if this sounds out of place, but I'd also be down to do one of these at some point.

My favorite map would have to be coal tower as both killer and survivor. It is usually a pretty balanced map that is nice and small.

My favorite chapter was the cursed legacy chapter. It brought us the Oni and had several other good changes like the nerf to BL. It was probably the only chapter we got that actually gave us the content we pay for lol.

My dream chapter would be one where it is not a new killer or survivor, but rather new mechanics and changes for the overall health of the game. People say that it would not benefit BHVR because they would get little money from it, but I disagree. If Dead by daylight became even more balanced, then people would come back to it and even attract more newer players.

We want good quality content, but unfortunately the only good content we have received for several months (since blights release) are the colorblind mode, blight fixed POV, and Wraith changes. Everyone is getting a little antsy because they are bored.

Everyone is pretty bored of this game right now, still putting up with the same things since the beginning such as map design, bhvr's clear lack of communication, and balance (killers, perks, and maps). We prefer quality over quantity, which is not something we have been getting for a long time now. It is frustrating to know that bhvr could easily start pushing out content, but they are too scared to do so and would rather add jiggle physics to certain individuals, or fix the "lazy tech" glitch for survivors instead of fixing important ones (survivors making no sound, and sound just being very inconsistent and weird).

I can say the same. I am loving this series!

Nice to see another one!

Tunneling is definitely a fair strategy for killers, same as camping. As for what the devs should do, here's what I have to say:

I honestly believe that strategies such as tunneling, camping, and slugging can never truly be fixed without redesigning how the game works in a massive way. However, I do believe that the devs can rework the game to encourage other playstyles that are more fun, for example if they changed something (I really don't know what specifically) to make 12 hooking survivors a viable strategy, then you would probably only see those strategies used by people who want to meme or just make people upset. Something like that would alleviate the three.

I disagree with making more anti-tunnel perks, that is just another band-aid fix for an issue with this game. It would be best not to make the mistake the devs did when they originally implemented DS and BT. I think the best way to fix this issue is to do what I said above, encourage other playstyles that are more fun for everyone.

If you want to interview me I am up to the task. I think I have quite some experience in the game.

The map changes have not benefited either side actually. It is important to remember that the map changes are all about the graphics, not balance. They are definitely still survivor sided if anything though, the randomness can sometimes spawn some very nasty tiles on any map. For the coldwind change, I just expect better optimization. The graphics are cool and all, but what is the point if you sacrifice most of the players' framerates?

Welp see you in the entities realm boys!

I find it ironic that I just asked Sluzzy a few minutes ago if he'd be down to do an interview.

Honestly I doubt he'll respond, but you miss every shot you don't take.
