I wanna chat about Camping...

Now im going to start off saying that BHVR has said that camping is a viable strategy and they want it in the game. I know this fully, but I think they need to reconsider.

There is a constant loop within this game as of late, which is a killer catches someone and camps, either face camping or proxy camping (or in some cases slugging), which leads to someone disconnecting. They find someone else who disconnects in response as well, and then the game falls apart.

If BHVR wants to keep camping as a viable okay strategy in this game they need do something about this loop. I'm not saying to remove camping, I'm saying something has to be done to stop this cycle of 'camp -> disconnect -> camp -> disconnect'

Because nearly ever game I try and play has some variation of this loop. I know this is anecdotal evidence, but I dont have any dbd players that I talk to or watch on stream that do not have this issue on more games then not, and I just dont think its healthy for the game.

    So they do need to get rid of it... cause it's all player choice at this point

    BHVR wants to have a frustrating game. Thats the issue.

    You are very right about all of that.

    I'm also not advocating for getting rid of camping either, if BHVR wants it, then they should keep it in.

    I think they need to work on ways to mitigate the frustration that it brings. Get camped out of a game? Dont lose items, or gain a BP multiplier for each hook state where the killer is within a certain range (something that doesnt affect the game, but affects post game).

    I also personally dont think that punishing these behaviors will fix anything, where I do think that rewarding OTHER behaviors will encourage people to seek alternate play styles.
