I'll Never Understand How Some People Think...
Queue up - both myself and the killer brings streamers.
It's a very solid Nurse, with a full set of meta perks and great addons.
Slugs and tunnels hard, gets everyone dead at 4 gens. They get 15k BP, we all get around 9-10k BP.
It's just odd to me - when I play killer, if I bring streamers I'm going to ease off a bit once I have control of the game - let people heal up, maybe finish a gen or two. If there are multiple streamers, I'm definitely going to try to ensure that everyone gets at least some use out of them.
Otherwise...why not just bring a pudding?

I kind of wonder at this point if it's just a...power move for lack of a better word
"Look, I have given you all 2x BP!!! BUT I decide if you get to have any of it and I have decided no"
They are certainly free to play however they wish but I'm of the same mind as you; if BPS is in play and I have dominant control of the game, I'll ease off a bit and make sure we all get out of this game with good BP (Doesn't mean I'll let everyone just escape for free but I might "lose" that chase when I accidentally turn left when you went right. Clumsy Tippy!).

I think the same.
If there is multiple stuff i try to get as many points as possible. Pretty logic i would think.
But yes, same for me. They play super hard and fast and you mostly don´t have a chance to do a lot.
Or get tunneled out first which happened to me today sometimes.
But one other thing - why do you dc?? With BPS and cake, even if killed that would be some points. No, DC before death hook.

Could just be the Killer doesn't need or isn't interested in the extra BP and therefore just playing to win. Which of course he's entitled to just as survivors are if they choose to super slam gens.

While i basically agree with both of you in the way i handle the game now, i have to say ive made a new account 2 months ago after i came back when i left dbd for years and because in the beginning i was leveling characters i was using every bp offering i could get no matter what but that didnt change my expectations what i wanted to get out of the game, i wanted to warm up again and win interesting and challening matches, a round of pure farming was and still is a waste of time for me, i cared less about the perfect usage of the bloodpoint boost because at the end of a day its was for me about the game experience. Now after 2 months this viewpoint changed, i realized fast again in what poor state the game is in and rather have a little bit of mercy every now and then to give everyone a breather from the negativity.
I just wouldnt bind any expectations towards a certain gameplay offering overall, then you also dont get dissapointed.

What if they didn't have a pudding? Also if that's how they normally play they are getting 4x BP so I don't really see the problem for the nurse.

im usually ok with tunneling especially mid to late game
but when i see a nurse, blight, or spirit tunneling at 5 gens i cringe

Yeah, this is basically how I try to play as killer.
I guess it's a question of mindset/empathy. It's just interesting to me when I encounter a psychology that I can't really understand.
But we were clearly outmatched. A 1460 hour Nurse, against a group of survivors with at most 400 hours (I've got...maybe 100 hours on survivor and I'm still terrible). There was no risk of losing.

I think some think "oh, can't be mad I played so hard. I gave you BPS so you got more points than you would've had I not played the offering." Honestly, when I see BPS or anniversary cakes I figure it's going to be a low scoring/unfun match instead of a nice relaxed high scoring match.

I’ll never understand why people get mad at “slugging and tunneling” beyond sore losing.
1 -
To be fair, when it's a nurse on Midwich (that she offered for) going with a full-on slugging build like I had yesterday, it's just a matter of not being able to play the game. Once you're down against that you're just not getting back up. And she refused to hook anyone too.
At that point it's just a d-move, imo.
0 -
And you can’t do anything on a hook either, but at least if you’re slugged you can move around or maybe even get yourself up with a perk like Unbreakable. If anything being slugged is better in that sense than being hooked.
So again, it just sounds like sore losing. There’s nothing wrong with slugging for a victory.
1 -
Not inherently, no. But when a legacy nurse is doing it from the start, with seemingly no intention of facing any semblance of opposition, it's just very, very lame.
0 -
If your complaint is just that Nurse might be too powerful at really high MMR I’ll give that to you. I don’t have any stats on it but I wouldn’t be surprised if Nurse is literally the best killer in the game at the very upper end of player skill. There’s probably not much that can beat being able to just ignore terrain completely in chases.

I will never understand why people would party spams after a loss. There alot of reason why people do the things they do. Some are just a waste of times at this point.

A few things should be considered. Just because someone brings BP offerings it doesn't mean they won't play seriously the whole time. Easying up on the pressure if you're demolishing is a nice thing for everyone most of the time but at the same time if you're demolishing then slowing down just demonstrates you're toying with your food and that isn't a nice thing either, especially when a killer player does it. It makes you appear to be scummy and if killer is demolishing then it's because survivors weren't on an equal level to begin with which just makes the whole thing even worse for those unexperienced survivors which in turn creates scenarios where killer characters that aren't particularly strong, vs experienced survivors but are stress free against newer survivors, getting nerfed for the sole reason that those killers were toying with unexperienced survivors.
A very clear and recent case of this was Wraith, a beginer friendly killer for killer players and a decent threat to unexperienced survivors. The killer was nerfed simply because the influx of newer players happened at the same time Wraith finally got positive changes. Bad timming on the Wraith's changes.
Back to the topic. I personally believe that if a killer brings BP offerings, Cakes, Puddings or others then it's because they want those extra BP for a specific Perk they want in the bloodweb, at least that's what i used to do. As a survivor i brought BP offerings cause they are needed, simply that, Survivors need BP offerings.

Yep, thats the curse.
I think the same - i see two cakes or 2 BPS - even one cake might be enough - and immediately... ooohhh god, this is going to be $%&/##.
1 -
Because of the way BP/grades work for survivor.
It never feels nice to depip or end up wasting a rare BP offering because someone got onto you from word one and then bled you out with Knockout.
3 -
I don't understand people like that either. Same way I don't understand people who bring streamers and dc.
I think people just bring it but don't actually care about the points.
There are many other examples of people doing things I don't understand (generally killers)

It's that phrase "slugged or on hook" that's the tell for me. It's not "being slugged versus being hooked" that's the problem, it's the "I don't like being inactive" which also happens with hooks too. And sure, the hook timer is technically shorter than the slug timer, but in the great majority of cases there's not much difference because either you get revived by someone else in about the same amount of time or the killer eventually comes back and hooks you. It's the exception and definitely not the rule to be down for literally the full four minutes to bleed out.
I get people being irritated with downtime in the game. I also get not liking player elimination in general. But I don't get being mad at an opposing player just because they're playing the game and eliminating people and causing downtime by hitting them beyond just being sore that they were on the losing end of it.

Doesnt make much sense, its like going to an "all you can eat" place, pay the entry fee and then having one small serving of food. Obviusly you dont have to eat until you explode or end up throwing but at least try to get your money worth.

I totally get it, that's why I hate playing during bloodhunts.

I played a game the other day where I brought double BP for all and I got tunneled and farmed out of the game within the first 2 minute or so. I only got a little over 2000 points. Bruh.

I've come to learn that bonus BP offerings for killers is often used as a distraction to give the survivors the wrong idea. I can't tell you how many matches I've had during anniversary events where cakes were almost entirely wasted. Some killer mains don't really care BP offerings or matches that last more than a few minutes. Sometimes they just want to end it faster than it took them to get into the match.

I was tunneled to death for bringing a party cake...I'm sure that killer did it on purpose. They are just trolls. I couldn't get more than 3-5k BP...

It's because the second you try to be nice in this game you get ######### on for it and talked down to, I had a game the other day where I 4 man slugged as Oni with 5 gens up and 2 people immediately DC so I let one wiggle out and pick the other up and then did a little farming so we could all get more points and even opened the gate for them to leave , only to get called a noob in the endgame chat for farming because apparently he was gonna "wreck" me regardless according to him, even though he was playing glow worm simulator when I actually was trying. Moral of all this is don't be try to be nice because people are ######### and probably deserve it.

I can definitely say I wouldn't let up just because I'm in control if I was the killer. After all I'm not here to farm, I'm here to kill ya dead
