Waiting for that killer bonus window - any minute now…

Member Posts: 2,259

Each night around 8:30, there’s about a 20 minute window in which I can get the 100% queue bonus on killer! Rest of the time it’s on survivor around the clock. I’m ready though. Not gonna miss it tonight!

    I've seen it a couple times around then as well. Also at like 2 in the morning. It's always a treat.

    Normally after midnight or sometimes during the day in Oceania.

    But it's a good thing, it means people are wanting to play killer.

    Edit: it's also free to play, so what would you rather do as a newbie? repair a gen or stand on your own traps or run around with a chainsaw hitting bushes?

    I had the 100% bonus for a while yesterday.

    Yes! First time since the incentives released, I saw 100% Killer last night around 9.30pm. It was back to 100% Survivor after my game but it was definitely there for a few minutes at least. It was the first time I've ever seen a bonus on killer. Nice to know my game hasn't been bugged all this time

    I have not been playing much for a couple weeks due to ow2, but I saw 50-100% on killer regularly on NA. But never really get on dbd until 9 or after.

    It's there! It's real!

    ...It'll probably be gone by the time I finish my first killer match, but at least I saw it!

    Then play survivor when survivor has the bonus, and then swap to killer when killer has the bonus?

    That's the entire point of the bonus, to balance the queues. If more people would do this, it would be more even between the two roles.

    Keep in mind the game needs four survivors for every killer in the queue to be balanced, that alone is going to bias the incentives toward survivors most of the time. If half the players are queuing for both sides for instance it needs 60% of the killers to switch sides to balance it out.

    Even so I do occasionally see a killer incentive like others said above.

    I don't understand what these types of post try to achieve tbh.

    Some people want to use this as a reason survivor should be buffed but the only way you'll acieve a 4:1 split naturally is by making survivor super unfair to play against which will easily kill the game.
