Any other killer mains hating the pallet bug?

I used to swing at every pallet just cause half of the time survivors either wouldnt drop it in time, were standing too close/too far or the gods of latency would bless me and give me a free hit. Now that this stupid pallet bug I have had to change my whole playstyle and not swing at pallets. Also I have seen an increase in just people predropping pallets which is the most boring #########.

    Same, I used to swing at the pallets in some situations and getting cheeky hits. Now survivors calling me bug abuser or something lol

    Even tho I believe the only part of pallets being bugged is the stun, since the hits over pallets are always been there sometimes, due to latency and ######### servers.

    No stun is annoying, hope they patch it tomorrow

    Yeah but survivor just predropping every pallet is the most boring ######### ever.

    Not only boring but surprisingly effective to some low tier killers. Pre drop every pallet vs pig in the first chase and you are done, doesnt matter that 7 pallets were wasted, deny her first down for too long and its simply gg

    Yep I find that in so many game. Like sure they turned turned half the map into a deadzone but there is only 1 gen left so I am #########.

    I really don't feel like the pallet bug has made me get any more hits through pallets then I would have before.

    The only real thing it does is usually let you break the pallet slightly faster/go after another near by survivor slightly faster.

    Also remember a pallet stun isn't instant so if you mistime it the killer will hit you in the small window where its falling but hasn't stunned the killer yet.

    I don't main Killer, but the bug feels like crap for me on both sides.

    It needs fixed ASAP

    I'm not strictly a killer main but I am too ######### at survivor to notice a difference lmao.

    I'm also bad at Survivor, but I know my distance/timings.

    It's ######### brutal.

    Ha I dont know anything about survivor except how to hit greats. Whenever I run DH i either mistime it or forget I am even running it lmao

    I'm sorry but untill it's fixed I'm pre dropping pallets I just don't trust them anymore (I probably shouldn't have to begin with but still)

    There was one game I got a survivor with the bug (unintentionally) so I decided to let them wiggle free for free. I still ended up killing them at the end of the game and they were super ticked at me and didn't care I gave them a free escape.

    So now, I don't have sympathy. When a killer gives a free escape but you still blast the killer post game then you teach killers to not play nice anymore.

    I hate the bug. But when ever I play survivor, and I drop a pallet it never stuns the killers. OHH but whenever I play killer I always get stunned when people drop it on me. What I have noticed is when the killers swings it does not stun them if you drop it, but if the killer does not swing if you drop it will stun them.

    oh my god the joys of old DS getting down taking a spoonful of yogurt before realising it was still up and panicing to try and hitting it only to end up with a missed DS and yogurt all of your desk. I swear I am not speaking from experience

    Honestly the amount of hits I've gotten from the pallet bug that I would have not gotten before is in the single digits. I don't respect pallets anyways so this has not changed my playstyle.

    It does, however feel pretty awful whenever you get a BS hit and don't get stunned. But then I see survivors using the Breakout bug and I stop caring c:

    I'm just disappointed that bhvr lied about fixing it and STILL haven't fixed it.

  • Lx_malice

    Yes. I like to use Enduring Fury on ghostface, billy, and legion and having it not proc because the stupid pallet bug is extremely annoying.

  • CaulDrohn

    I really enjoy playing obsession switching builds, where nemesis has a crucial part in getting the first obsession, in case you are not lucky. For obvious reasons, that does not work so good currently. At least you still get Nemesis value if the obession switches due to other effects, formost with furtive chase.

    Another thing not working at all right now would be Spirit Fury. Wanted to play pallet destroyer Legion (Enduring+Fury+Legion pin), but the match was just plain awful, no fun at all. I totally throw the game to enforce just one spriti fury, but I did not get it activated even once. Although I was not even swinging anymore, just running into the pallet. All the stuns were being denied. That was before the first "fix" though.

    It's annoying tbh, I want to get STUNNEDDDD, the attack cooldown takes like 10 years.

    I don't main anything. I play both sides to get a better understanding as well as help myself find new ways to play anytime someone does something effective against me.

    But yeah, the pallet bug is just awful. I already love running Brutal + Enduring on a lot of killers, but now I can't use Spirit Fury anymore. And as survivor, not only do I get hit through all the pallets, but I don't even get stun points since the killer is just moved out of the way now. Being forced to predrop pallets all the time sucks. Not every killer is a Doctor or Freddy.

    the worst part about it is that it doesnt even stun the killer. i remember i was playing with a super nice killer who gave me a 2nd chance when he got a bs pallet hit. hell, im not even that nice and i give the last survivor hatch most of the time

    FINALLY OTHERS ARE FEELING MY PAIN!!! WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF PREDROPPING!!!

    Hope you like playing the same 3 killers over and over again, because pretty soon people are gonna stop trying to loop you altogether and your m1 skills are going to heavily regress until the eventual time you finally go agasint a baby looper and they make you look like a rank 20.

    I don't really care about it, to be honest. Most people pre-drop pallets anyway, regardless of the bug.

    It feels very awkward when they throw the pallet and it would've stunned you but nothing happens

    I don't like it either. It's inconsistent. Sometimes I swing and they get hit, but sometimes I get stunned.

    Ya'll be forgetting the hook bug we had several months ago...That was a ballache to go though until it got fixed, this one though is not so bad in comparison as you can pre drop the pallet. Sucks if you're using pallet perks though.

    Same. I always swing through pallets and get a lot of hits that way. Now, whenever it cancels the stun it feels awkward and I wish I had an emote to say, "No, no, I always swing through pallets -- I didn't do it just to troll you."

    It's making the stun killer challenges, "challenging".

  • beached

    It is actually miserable as killer. I think it is actually faster just to get stunned with enduring and break the pallet than it is to swing through it and not get stunned. Enduring cancels the m1 animation but obviously with no stun you have to sit there and finish the m1 animation before you can break it. It's definitely worse on the survivor side especially since they literally just released a perk that requires you to get a stun for it to even work. On top of that a stun is 1,000 bloodpoints that are nearly impossible to get right now. It's awful for killers who use enduring and worse for survivors that just want the stun.
