Broken Game

this game is by far trash. Literally the people who created this game favor the killers can’t even escape most of the time and the killer has most of the advantages what fun does that bring if u can’t even escape easy bloodpoints for the killer and the survivors literally get ######### over so much for a “free” game lmao.. it’s ridiculous at this point how easy it is for the ######### killer to get survivors. Like they’re perks are broken af fohhh they can see us but we can’t see them.. and no i’m not complaining bc i’m trash i’m pretty damn good at the game literally and your servers don’t even ######### get me started. 2019 and trash servers lmao this game is a joke seriously waiting 3full hours for 2 games

    You clearly are 12 and what is this.

    1. There are no servers. The game is Peer-to-Peer connection for now, which means your internet or your host's internet (the Killer's) is garbage. The only thing this game does network-wise is try to match you to suitably-ranked hosts, neglecting the connection quality.
    2. The game is unbalanced, yes, but depending on what is brought into the game depends on who it's in favor of. Currently, Survive With Friends groups are favored in most games, while Killers are favored with the strongest, meta perks and a Momento Mori (kill after hook secret offering).
      The devs don't favor any side— just look at the patch notes.
    3. The game isn't free, though with the introduction of the store it should move to the FtP model already.
    4. If you have to state you are "pretty damn good," you probably aren't.

    Why don't you try making some friends and playing SWF and constantly squeak positional information with them via Discord or whatever, and see how easy it really is against most killers.

    Killer queues are instantaneous whereas survivor queues are long and painful, which would indicate that there are too many survivors for not enough killers.

    nobody is playing killer right now due to the event and unbalance. Devs do not act on swf, killers slowly quit.

    It's SUPPOSED to favor the killer as it's the power roll. It doesn't, not even close.

    Nah, it should not favor killers, it should be balanced. That's all I'm asking for.

    A couple weeks ago, lots of players still thought the matchmaking was buggy, now they realize that there aren't enough killers and that something has to change. That was the first step.

    That the devs increased event points for killers (whereas only slightly) is a sign that they are watching the situation. They will have to make more changes besides the event to solve the problem and I'm hopeful that they are going to do that. In the end, they tend to listen to the community, it often just takes quite long.

    They increased it by 1 which is laughable and will change nothing.

    The mechanics for killers are just silly, you don't have time to go looking for lanterns for only 4 points and you can't use the same hook twice if you want points which have no colour auras so you have to memorise which ones you have used.

    What do you mesn killers can see you but you can't see them?

    BBQ? Bitter murmer? Nurses?

    Try Alert or dark sense and you can see the killers aura. Plus things like spine chill give you a heads up when they're looking in your direction.

    You are correct, it's not a big difference and it is probably not going to change much for this event.

    However, the fact that the devs listened to the community and started to make changes instead of ignoring the players - that counts as well.

    If they increased it too much, it'd defeat the point of the event.

    And queue all the Killer fanboys desperately trying to lie, mis-direct and smoke screen as the curtain is pulled away and the Wizard of Oz is laid bare for the fraud he is.

    Oh look, how convenient. Here before us is a meme that explains everything in full techni-colour historical accuracy!

    lawl. ^The denial is real.

    p.s: please remove Freddy's Cataracts. ty

    Reality doesn't go away just because you deny it. Killers are the ones leaving the game out of frustration; not survivors. In fact, toxic survivors are the primary reason why people on both sides leave the game. However, a single killer quitting is four times as impactful as a single survivor quitting. That's why survivor queues have been steadily increasing for a while now. The event was just the final straw.

    PS: It's "cue". Queue is something completely different.

    Most of the time it is still pretty easy as long as you have some sort of situational awareness tbh.

    as pointed out to you earlier
    1. We have no servers until THIS SUMMER, it's peer to peer
    2. This is an ASYMMETRICAL MULTIPLAYER, do you know what Asymmetrical means? it means that there are roles, for example, the Killer is supposed to have the power role... that's how the game is supposed to work, but the game is so horribly balanced right now that the survivors screw up the killers ten ways to sunday, as long as they don't do stupid mistakes, this game require a LOT of split second decision making and to have a plan in motion, if you are going survivor.... and you die a lot, it's cause you're making mistakes the killers benefit from! (Not covering your scratch marks, Fast vaulting, failing skill checks.
    3. If you are so good at this game... then you should already KNOW how to play it. honestly, I think you're not as good as you think you are at this game... no one is, hence why the metas exist cause both sides need a crutch.
    4. I'd recommend that you check out some DBD youtubers and learn from them instead of watching fortnite.
    5. yes, the F2P model WOULD work for this..... however...... they'd have to charge extra for the DLC killers and survivors (more than they do already, sure.... 7 bucks isn't much, but if the game was free, they'd need to buff that to be able to pay their staff and keep the future servers up and running etc).

    In conclusion: this game isn't perfect, but they have been working on it, it's at it's best right now. No they don't have a single bias for either side. cause if they did..... then there would be more actual complaining from the fanbase, right now, it's just the basic complaining about games being done too fast, pallet looping and other things. But that's why the stupid Meta exists, cause the fanbase can't find actual faults in the game to bring up to the devs and would rather complain about that some perks are op yet look the other way when their perks are op (Survivor mains with Decisive Strike, Killer Mains with BBQ and Chili).

    Also... 3 full hours to wait for a game? dude, that's exaggeration, try playing when others play..... or check your internet speed..... odds are your speed isn't the best.... I have Fiber and pretty much get into matches with a lobby time of..... 10 minutes maybe as survivor and 15-30 minutes as a killer (mostly cause the killers need to open the lobby)

    The reason why your queues are long is because very few people play killer now. Each killer that stops playing is another 4 survivors who can't get a lobby. Your attitude makes you part of the problem.

    I dunno I have problems getting matches as Killer, wait 10 minutes, give up and go survivor and instantly get a match. go figure.

    Hello @Radiant, nice bait thread. :)

    This game is far from trash and to be honest, it's a lot better than what it use to be! Please stop exaggerating the problem, it doesn't help solve anything and if anything, you should be providing criticism.
