    I’m a killer main and I’m still playing but I am really looking forward to this patch. It’s like I’m still driving around in my old car when I have a new shinier car coming in next week or so, I’m just hoping the new one gets here soon and isn’t held up at the docks. 🙂

    why would you refuse? The game isn't going to change that much for you

    Don't see the point of waiting. If I don't play this weekend, it'll simply be because I didn't feel like playing, not because I'm intentionally holding out until the update.

    It's the opposite for me. This is our last chance to stock up on addons, before BHVR nerfs the bonus BBQ bloodpoints, and makes us pay prestige taxes, and forces us to have garbage low level bloodwebs with terrible perk rarities.

    BHVR has shifted the grind to punish the players that don't have a perk grind, and they've made the grind so much more miserable for some of us. And who knows if the bloodweb rarity changes will happen this year, or if they'll actually be good enough for this whole prestige rework to be worth it. Because right now, the prestige rework is an absolute disaster for people whose primary grind are addons.

    I've been playing killer nonstop to prestige 1 anyone that doesn't have a lot of perks. Got a few more to go 😤

    I find killer to be boring because in general most games aren't very challenging. I'd say probably on the low end about 60 percent of my games are 3ks. And I mainly play as m1 killers. Sure, I lose plenty of games too, but most games I'm not getting squashed. I'll do my usual killer game per pay until the update. At that point I'll be p6 all perks on everyone so I can devote my time to playing more games in general. Probably still play when a new time or killer comes out, but definitely not as much.

    Unless you've p1'd every character you don't regularly play then you are missing an opportunity to save yourself about 3 million blood per character!

    If you've brought some of your characters only to 40 for teachables it will run you around 600,000 blood to flip prestige 1.

    If you don't already know this information. In the July update from the devs they mentioned that the reward for characters that have already prestiged will be +2 prestige per previously bought prestige level. This means if you prestige once on those characters you only unlocked the teachables on before Tuesday, you will get the tier 3 perks on all corresponding characters permanently after the update. WARNING!: IF YOU PRESTIGE A CHARACTER NOW IT WILL LOSE ALL PERKS, ITEMS, AND ADD-ONS. After the update you will keep those things. This is for those characters that you don't play, but want their perks to be tier 3 permanently on all current and future characters.

    Again, it will run you around 1.5 million blood to level 1-50, and there is a toll at 50 of 20k blood to prestige after the update.

    So, if you aren't playing now just to wait a few days, you will be kicking yourself when you realize the grind relief added a 3 million+ per teachable only character grind, and a 9 million+ grind for characters you haven't unlocked. Both of those can be avoided only now, with a 1.5 million or 600k blood grind which is A LOT less!

    If you are wondering whether it is worth it to prestige up your other characters that you have leveled a bit, here is a well made guide I found. https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/vxhk53/prestige_catchup_update_should_you_prestige_to/

    prepare for an even easier borefest on the killer side. if you already cake walk the survivors.

    Iv been playing less and less killer since SBMM got added to the point I dont play killer now (I cba with full stacked meta especially 4xDH on bad maps while I play c tier killers at best)

    Having said that I'm not playing at all till the patch, no point as I may as well save all BP till it drops so I can start to prestige people (I was one who never prestiged just got every perk on everyone)

    Dunno if the patch will help killer tbh but who knows

    I need to farm as many bps with bbq as possible to p1 as many characters as possible so I'm currently playing all day long

    GamerEzra Member Posts: 941

    I only play Nurse, Blight and I'm also gonna try to pick up spirit again. She's gonna be more fun to play with the Iron Will nerf. After the update I think I'm gonna play other killers again. The game will still be survivor sided imo but at least more fun and more balanced.

  • GannTM

    I’ve been playing more killer than survivor. It’s fun right now.

    I'll play whatever side has the fastest queues. People who heavily prefer only one half of the game are weird to me.

    A Good timed DH can Ruin a whole Match as Killer

    I had a Game where i was destroying the Survivors i had 8 Hooks when only 2 Gens was finished then i was chasing a Meg that used DH at the right Moment for Distance to get a Good palett this 1 DH extend die Chase so long that all other 3 Gens was finished because the Meg was be able to get 4 other paletts

    So yeah A DH can make u to lose a Game this Perk is busted and im Happy its going to be changed on tuesday

    It's the opposite for me, I unironically want to get as many red backgrounds on my killers as possible. It's a dumb reason to play but I really like them.

    If you don't understand the issue with current Dead Hard than why bother posting at all? Ignorance on full display...

  • The_Krapper
    The_Krapper Member Posts: 3,259

    I said I'm not defending current dead hard but I still stand by the fact that dead hard alone doesn't beat you and if you think that alone is the sole cause of the problem you're delusional and not as good as you might think

  • Laluzi
    Laluzi Member Posts: 6,225

    Yes, but not out of any issue with Dead Hard. I've been cramming survivor games because I want to enjoy Q&Q/Head On while Iron Will still exists. Had some super fun games today... definitely going to miss this build.

  • The_Krapper
    The_Krapper Member Posts: 3,259

    Well that's your own fault for over committing to a chase if it really was for that long but I honestly don't mind the change I don't run dead hard anyway, I'm just sick of hearing people complain and make excuses for bad gameplay and it will happen again with the next update there will be happiness for like 5 minutes after the nerf and then the tears will come flowing to the forums to nerf this or that perk because it's "broken"

  • Yankus

    I already stomp as killer now. All this update is going to do is make me even more OP. Why wouldn't I be playing killer if I 4k every game?

  • Khar

    You say you're not defending it by defending it. Weird strat but ok.

    I want to use the BP gain from rank reset to sure up my survivors after the midchapter. But I'm unable to earn anymore BP even though I was under 1 million before the 13th. So, I will play other games until Tuesday.

  • The_Krapper
    The_Krapper Member Posts: 3,259

    I'm not defending dead hard but someone claimed they only get outplayed by a button and that's just not true , at some point skill comes into that it's not just the dead hard beating someone, you could have completely trash players all running dead hard and it will never be the same as a good survivor running dead hard who is skilled and uses it the right way , sure dead hard is bullshit but for someone to completely try and say the other player isn't good because of dead hard is wrong and those people will still be crying on update day even with dead hard nerfed

    I had the best couple of killer games I’ve had in while the other night.

    Not all wins just good games. So yeah I’ll keep logging in when I feel like it.

    I’m refusing to play killer after the update because I don’t get BBQ BP stacks anymore.

  • Khar
    Khar Member Posts: 640

    You admit dead hard is bullshit and you know why (I'd hope at this point) it can be an issue. There are many, many instances in which skill does not come into play and pressing E does, in fact, outplay the killer.

  • The_Krapper
    The_Krapper Member Posts: 3,259

    It's more than just pressing E because the good players aren't using it for a mistake eraser they'll use it tactfully and they'll milk a loop or area because they know when the right time to use it and in alot of people's minds they feel robbed because they were close enough to get them but they planned to run the tile the way they did and then hit dead hard to a window or a pallet because thats the most efficient way to use it and totally reset the chase, but don't pretend there aren't 1000's of boosted survivors out there who run dead hard and still get clapped anyway, at last all I've been saying is that skill DOES come into play at some point and it's more than just the dead hard when someone gets outplayed , there's still a difference between a good survivor and a bad survivor with dead hard.

    lots of people are dropping DH already, it's not that bad tbh. 😊

  • Deathstroke

    You can still get them just outplay them again and force them to use that button when they don't want to.

  • Deathstroke
    Deathstroke Member Posts: 3,521

    That will be sad day when they are. I don't really care about the buffs when they take half of my bloodpoints rewards away makes me want to not play.

  • M4dBoOmr
    M4dBoOmr Member Posts: 598

    there will be always more survivors, so we probably always have extra bp as a killer 🤩

  • RenRen
    RenRen Member Posts: 1,443

    I want to wait but I want to prestige 3 a few killers and killer gets more bp so unfortunately I'm gonna have to play killer.

  • CluelessWanderer
    CluelessWanderer Member Posts: 939

    As a Solo Q player, I'm pretty sure Devs won't be happy until they finally create a patch where Solos enter a match all slugged. Then the Killer just has to pick them up and hook them all, hoping one of them doesnt have Unbreakabill.

    Pretty sure they'll make a change like this by end of 2022.


    SWF's will be fine tho.
