    I'm an average player, that's what I try to explain. You like camping, tunneled people? Do your tthing. I just explain to you that:

    1: It's toxic.

    2 : it's ruining the game for the personne on the hook.


    It's not "my rulebook" or a way to be salty. Just a fact.

    If it's not your rulebook, what is it? You're staying your opinion as if it were a fact. You have a definition of camping that is so broad you can apply in any game. That killer in the video defending the hook to guarantee an extra hook state and you claim that ruins the game for people. It really seems like you're just making up rules.

    Like I said I won't argue anymore with you since you refuse to consider anything. Have a good fun camping and tunneling.

    Have fun using every excuse for losing, except for the ones that involve you.

    I get all 3 types of bubbles. The face camper, the camper, and the tunneling kind. Just got tunneled for 3 hooks in a row. He abandoned chase with all the other survivors, just to down me and rehook me again. This game is toxic. Ever since RE was released killers have tunneled every survivor in every game I've played for all three hooks in a row and do not care. I think its time for a long break.....I love the game but this ######### is rediculous...

    @OtakaChan : Like the guy said to me, it's our fault and we just have to suck it up when a killer camp and tunnel with no reason. Playing like this is not toxic at all.

    Yesterday again... I play and make a rookie mistake and finish on the hook. It's on me and I deserv it since I play poorly this time. The killer just loop around me and chase a guy when he see one. Another survivor unhook me and... Well, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, he ditch him and come tunnel my face. That happen all the time.


    It's not "play smart", it's being a toxic douchbag, guys.

    The devs litterally said on one of their streams that the reason they changed the hatch to be able to be shut is so the game wasnt at that stalemate because it would be held hostage.

  • TicTac
    TicTac Member Posts: 2,414

    Do you have a link? And even if they used that wording why didnt they ban people for it?

  • Micheal_Myers
    Micheal_Myers Member Posts: 1,147

    Cause it was literally a flaw in their design. Bud it's not hard to do research yourself.


    Like stop arguing, accept the fact it would keep the game hostage like old hatch and move on.


    You litterally can scower all the dev vlogs and find out yourself of why this type of thing WILL NEVER be added.

  • TicTac
    TicTac Member Posts: 2,414

    Or you could just not reply to me and stop forcing your view on me.

  • Micheal_Myers
    Micheal_Myers Member Posts: 1,147

    It's not just my view. It's the devs view, another forum member's view and alot of player's views.


    Like the devs stated this by quote: "If you are camped on the hook, just die and go to the next match it isnt that hard."


    In response to disconnecting because of being facecamped.


    Like I've been playing since 2017 to 2018. So about 4 to 3 years. I've seen games taken hostage, I've seen old hatch, I've seen old DS, old Borrowed Time, I've seen Old Freddy, I've seen old nurse, and old beaded beans spirit. Hell I've seen forum members complain that the rift is gunna be a fortnite rip off (which it is). I've even seen changes the devs made that made playing killer really crappy and seen em make survivors OP, and vice versa.


    I'm not spreading a false viewpoint, I'm stating factual statements that EVEN YOU can research. Even you trying so hard to defend your statement with out proof or things to research tells me psychologically that you dont even know what you are talking about in this topic. So imma leave you with that. Respond or not I dont care. I'm just saying your points of how this wouldn't make the game be taken hostage is invalid.

    I once saw a bubba down 5 survivors in one go.

    They had they addon that replenishes his charges. Downed every survivor and then the first one used unbreakabill to get up and got downed again.

    I couldn't even be mad. One of the most funny experiences i had in this game. They were so proud of it too

    Do generators. The lives of the many outweigh the lives of the few. I'm a Bubba main, but I don't like camping. I also play survivor and I hate being camped. But if one person dies and everyone else splits up and do gens, the killer will most likely just get A kill. I know it sounds condescending, but that's just the sure fire way of beating camping. Hell, even the killer loses points for camping as well

  • DemonDaddy

    If it's you on the hook, practice avoiding the killer more.

    If it's a teammate, accept the sacrifice of one for the many.

  • DwarvenTavern
    DwarvenTavern Member Posts: 2,495

    There's a perk called Kindred, it's pretty nifty notifying every one that there's a killer camping.

    Also SWF with sweat ruins the game for one person as well. Two if you want a solo que survivor.

    Here's a secret to counter camping, just do gens, that's all. One kill for the killer is much better than a swarm of survivors trickling into the lion's den. I've been camped, I imagined you've been camped. I also want to point something out as well, even if they extend the time on gens, it's still gonna cause camping, in fact it would completely entice the killer to camp more.

    Because Bubba punishes people for trying to be altruistic, just as much Doctor punishes people for trying to be sneaky.

    And that's it. Sure he can insta down and he's a camper's best friend. But other than that? That's it. You can't go running in willy nilly and get a "clear" save. You can't run out into the clear fields against him. You have to think, try to juke him into a wall. If you get him into a wall, then you bought yourself a lot of time.


    Edit: I just realized that you were being sarcastic. I'm dumb

  • TicTac

    "Blablabla i want the last word bc that means im right" Great for you but now i have the last reply. Guess, im right. See, i dont know you and i have no idea why you dig up this thread to reply to me after a week or more and i certainly dont care about this topic anymore. But people like you annoy me, so i cant leave this like that.

    Something isnt holding the game hostage bc both players are too stubborn to give up. And even if it was, it wouldnt apply to the situation. The proposed hook change would be the same as a killer waiting at a safe tile with a dropped pallet. He cant get the survivor and if he breaks the pallet the survivor can escape to another tile. If the killer now does nothing, nobody would ban him for holding the game hostage.

    Oh and bc it seems so important to you: i play since 2018 and have 2500 hours. I effortlessly reach rank 1 etc etc. Does this now make my argument more valid? If not you can stop listing this things about you.

    Facecamping is not a thing ever since they reworked Bubba. Now it takes longer to charge the chainsaw than to approach the hook and complete the unhook animation. So any facecamping is easily counterable by teamwork.

    No way it's already been tested and it was abused heavily by survivors. People need to learn to accept the fact that camping is part of the game.

  • Aquamarine

    I run kindred a lot while playing solo. It tells others not to save me (sometimes they do, sometimes they don't), but it definitely doesn't help the person who is camped. It's important to understand that dbd is not that much of a team-playing game. It's not a good division or work that one player is camped, the others collect the points and get out. Everybody has their own points and emblems, so it doesn't make sense that survivors are expected to take one for the team and get nothing in return.

    If hard camping was very rare, it wouldn't bother me. However, it's not. It's common, and not healthy for the game.

  • DwarvenTavern
    DwarvenTavern Member Posts: 2,495

    You know what else isn't healthy? SWF (survivor sided against killers, coms make stealth a chore), Spirit, not having new maps, hackers, and a toxic community. Yet recently dbd broke their highest number player count. You're banking on the idea that one jerk ruined a match for them and they quit immediately or after dealing with it for so long.

    The moment they nerf camping to the ground, is the moment they make survivors an absolute crawl to play as. For a huge number of reasons. Now personally, I only get proxy camped, because survivors absolutely do not like to leave a hooked person alone so my killers just can't take five steps without the Z Team coming to try and save the day. Face camping is rare for me to run into, but when it does happen. I'm in a SWF team as the designated runner. So it's kinda expected

    "The proposed hook change would be the same as a killer waiting at a safe tile with a dropped pallet."

    How?

  • TicTac
    TicTac Member Posts: 2,414

    The killer cant destroy the pallet bc the survivor would get away, but the survivor cant leave the tile bc he would go down. There is no timer which would end the standoff.

    In the other scenario a survivor gets camped and the hook timer stops. The killer doesnt want to leave, so it stays like that forever.

    Standoff 1 can be solved with bodyblocking and standoff 2 with a hook safe. Of course there are killer in both scenarios (bubba) who can stop that. Both standoffs can also be solved with doing all gens, opening a door and starting the endgame.

    You could say that in scenario 1 the survivor could leave the tile and give up while in scenario 2 this isnt possible if there are no skill checks when the hook timer stops. But in the end if the survivor gives up and doesnt want to survive, the endgame will do that for him.

  • Nathan13
    Nathan13 Member Posts: 6,713

    I go against SWF squads who like to rush out gens. That's why some if not all killers have to camp when the match is going bad.

  • DwarvenTavern
    DwarvenTavern Member Posts: 2,495

    While that is a good point, I don't see how that's the equivalent of the proposed hook change.

    From my own experience as both a killer and survivor, in addition. I have no idea why you would consider this as a factor, but for the sake of it, yes. I am in Red ranks. Even though rank doesn't quite matter.

    Anyway, in scenario A, I was actually involved into that particular situation as a survivor. What I did was run. I ran and I ran and I ran. Nonstop, I kept running while my teammates did the gens, for actually the whole match, I just ran through the same loop, it was pallet with a large section of bushes to give me the enough time to vault the pallet or run around. Not once did they break the pallet. During this time, my teammates got all 5 gens done and I managed to escape. With a bit of body blocking as well.

    The thing I'm questioning is this, how is scenario A equivalent to the hook prospect that actually makes the timer stop which literally puts a halt to the game.

    It actually has been tested and it's proved to be too exploitable by survivors. You could argue that the Killer is halting the game as well with both A and B. But, that's not the case. A is actually such a loose example it barely counts to this, while B just makes the game actually last forever if both sides are stubborn enough.

    It's both party's at fault here, but survivors kept begging for that hook change to be in the game that the devs finally relented. It's a Steve Harrington perk called Camaraderie.

    It pauses the timer for 34 seconds, using this perk shows how much of a halt it puts to the game.

    I dont consider being red rank as a factor. It was a joke about the other guy saying he plays since 2017/18 and bc of that his arguments are stronger.

    Running the killer for 5 gens is certainly more interactive, but thats not the case here. You would just wait, maybe vault the pallet.

    And couldnt your teammates just save you and bodyblock if the killer camps you on a infnite hook timer? What is the difference?

  • DwarvenTavern
    DwarvenTavern Member Posts: 2,495

    Apologies, I meant that I stayed by a certain loop the whole game, my friends and I use the term "running" rather loosely, I did pretty much camp that loop. And to your final question, well. The devs don't like the concept of something being infinite, hence why they changed End Game, no one likes the concept of things literally taking forever.

    It was exploitable too, unfortunately we couldn't see how exploitable it was, but I imagine it was pretty bad for even the devs to take into consideration that it's broken. Right now, there are very few examples of things being infinite and they're gonna be less and less

    Bubba's are almost always the scummiest killers to play against and I've noticed they are getting more and more prevalent lately - the most common killer to go up against and I very rarely have a fun match with them. Camptastic.

  • NVerde
    NVerde Member Posts: 264

    I really hate when people trot out the counter to camping is just 'do gens'. Completely misses the point that this results in a boring, unfun game for EVERYONE.

    If your game has a mechanic that is heavily used and has the direct consequence of making the game not be fun to play - there's a design flaw in the game IMO

  • TicTac
    TicTac Member Posts: 2,414

    Yh it wouldnt be a fun mechanic and i dont want it. But it wouldnt be holding the game hostage. That was my only point.

  • DwarvenTavern
    DwarvenTavern Member Posts: 2,495

    Well, it would. Here me out real quick.

    See, let's say I'm Bubba in this scenario and you're into a team of swf.

    I'm camping your friend and all gens are done, I'm sitting by him and everyone got the gens done and now they're just thinking of how to get the survivor on the hook. Now let's say I used the backhook in the basement and you're upstairs in a locker. The timer is completely paused on both sides and no one wants to do anything. See what I mean?

  • TicTac
    TicTac Member Posts: 2,414

    Yh but lets say you are on the game. You have dropped the pallet which is the nearest to the hole to the bathroom. The bubba just waits and doesnt destroy the pallet bc then you would get to the other pallet and escape bc the exit is 99%. Isnt that the same?

  • DwarvenTavern
    DwarvenTavern Member Posts: 2,495
    edited June 2021

    I guess? I don't know however, that sounds like a very incredibly niche thing to happen. I'm not saying it's impossible, but the odds of that happening is incrediblely slim to none compared to the proposed hook change, which in theory and practice has happened all the time

    Edit: Wait a second. If all the gens are done, the pallet closest to the hole is completely unsafe, you can just run to the other one and keep going. It's wasting his time trying to follow your exact footsteps

  • DwarvenTavern
    DwarvenTavern Member Posts: 2,495

    Oh howdy, I forgot about this discussion honestly. No offense, I was drinking. So that loop in particular is one of the safest loops on that map for a variety of reasons, a good survivor can get away perfectly safe if they know how to run it and if the killer refused to break the pallet

    You say you have more hours but have yet to provide proof that any of my statements are false about the topic. You say you are red rank, but complain about getting face camped. So makes me question, are you really red rank? Do you really have 2,500 hours? Are you really going to waste your time and everyone's time on this topic that you yourself cannot provide proof for?


    I provided many researchable proofs. Which you yourself can research and get the straight answer from the devs themselves. You say you are red rank but complain about Bubba face camping you. Then say that's taking the game hostage, but the old hatch isnt or the proposed change will not keep the game hostage. Sounds pretty dumb to me so far.


    Like I said in my last comment I dont care if you respond or not, if you dont provide proof of any of your statements then all your statements are invalid. I've seen it all in the game so I have prior knowledge of how the game was and how it is now and provided proof based on my knowledge. All you have done has been spreading opinions and not fact which seemingly angers you when someone calls you out.


    Cause you know this to be true: Deep down, all your statements are opinions and will never be factual unless you show proof of your statements being factual not invalid.


    But nice try though.

  • TicTac
    TicTac Member Posts: 2,414

    I dont understand. Are you writing to the correct person? Where did i complain about a bubba facecamping me? And wasnt my whole point that a facecamping bubba is not holding the game hostage? But why do you say now the opposite?

    If i really did say this things, i dont know why i did that. But its more likely you read it wrong.
