What happened to Survivors ????

I heavily agree with number 4 and 5. Easy anti cheat is garbage and they need to get with a better company.

As for the names, I do think survivor names should be hidden behind their character names until the end screen. Killers can see what items survivors bring into the match which allows them to adjust their builds to counter survivor items and possibly loadouts in the last minute. Due to it being a 4 v 1 there’s an argument that maybe that’s fair. I don’t know. But I do know that if survivors can’t see the killers screen name until end screen they shouldn’t see survivors either.

As you said, people who have ttv in their name have it for the purposes of promoting themselves but that doesn’t mean you should have to sacrifice promoting your stream by taking it out of your name, just so that the killer doesn’t get an unfair advantage of watching your every move in the match.

1. bleeding out is problem, slugging in general is forced by various changes to mechanic and perks related to hooking, as well as new perks implemented. Hooking is more of a punishment than reward.

2. Wiggle has it's use, and that use is to prevent killer from placing you on a hook in very strategical spot.

3. Anti-facecamp meter is meant to improve experience against those killers that just stand next to hook, look into your eyes and eventually hit you, it has nothing to do with camping in general.

4. Agree, game is swarming with cheaters atm, people are even openly selling cheats and BHVR does nothing about it. However, enjoy new skins i guess!

5. Not much can be done about stream sniping from BHVR perspective, there are ways to handle it individually. Anon mode needs to go tbh

You've got a "TTV" in your nickname and you complaining about stream snipers? Understandable. (not really)

If you want to keep this "TTV" in order to get a bigger audience - you need to face and consider the side effect.

1. I'm personally not facing too much of a slugging, but I'm not going to argue, because I know that happens.
2. The wiggle is not meant to be a "constant grasp escape". It meant to be a tool to prevent the killer to hook you where ever they want. If you want it to work - you need a teammates who would make a successful sabo play.
3. What for? Anti-face camp mechanic is working as intended, why do you want to get rid of this?
4. Agree, there are cheaters here and there.
5. (I answered about streaming)

1: So by your words, slugging is indeed a problem with the game if you feel it is 'forced.' Everyone knows the purpose of hooks and if the game says 'hooking will screw you more than not', thats a problem. HUGE problem, and BHVR needs to really look at this.

2: But it is useless. And doesn't do that. If you mean it keeps the killer from walking across the entire map to basement, then I'm done here.

3: Improve the experience? Of.. getting camped? The experience isnt something that can really be improved lol. Camping shouldn't be axed, but man what an experience lol.

4: Yup. I think the community will always agree with cheating being abhorrent.

5: There's plenty of things they can do. OP literally listed one.

Nothing flaming you here, Narko. I just felt you casually slung up some words without much thought compared to your usual, robust posts. OP has points.

Yes, you are a ttv so you have no right to complain. (not really) Come on, Griger…

Its easy for someone to dismiss things when they aren't affected in the slightest. Pay no attention to these types. It will offer nothing, or in some cases, less than nothing.

1: Agreed.

2: Correct. Or body block. Or breakout. I believe the wiggle only works when other survivors play as a team. Its good deisign imo. Its non-existant in solo'q.

3: Is it working as intended? As always, this is subject to perspective: Killers will defend it since they are basically unaffected by its implementation, and survivors will complain because it doesn't really affect anything. Its the same playbook.

4: Yup, cheaters need to go. Community agrees!

5: (Poorly and somewhat bigotted. It should be disregarded honestly.)

There's a lot dbd could do to make things friendlier to any and everyone, they simply wont do it. There's lists on the forums with QoL things for both sides that just get lost in pages of complaints about the game. Which I think is funny. I've not had any other game who's forums are mostly complaints. Just my experience though. Im sure there are some lol.

I play the game casually when my friends call me. I used to play solo. Today I can't handle it anymore, lol. It's a bizarre show of stress. Tunnel after tunnel. I think they should add the 2v8 modifier cage to combat this. Or create a casual mode without perks, with a cage, or with nerfs to both survivors and killers so the game is balanced, less repetitive and more dynamic. But what the owner of the post said is true. They don't care about that. They created mechanics to avoid these player vices, but they are insufficient. In their view, if you are being tunneled, use perks to combat it. The game has a ton of perks and you can only use 2 slots because Off the Record and Decisive Strike almost always need a slot. I love the game's looping mechanics. But unfortunately, I have less and less desire to play it because of the excessively competitive spirit of its players. Unfortunately, streamers are partly to blame for this. No one is streaming their game to lose. Especially killers. Losing and still creating interesting content is for the few. You need to have charisma. So most people play tryhard because that's what they have to offer. Then they desperately take someone out of the game because they want to kill at least 1. And if someone is tunneled and taken out of the game at the beginning of the game, it's an easy and lazy victory, in my opinion, for the killer. But anyway, everyone plays their own way and what I'm doing to combat this is playing other games when I'm tired of the same thing.

1. slugging is a problem forced by another problem yeah. And it will remain problem as long as that other problem remains too.
2. no, basement was not my thought, my thought was denying hook inside killer's interest zone (usually 3-gen). This is why you'll see good survivors directing the chase as far away from that zone and then forcing a down and a hook in a zone completely away from killer's interest zone. Wiggle mechanic is there to prevent killer from doing this in such circumstances aka. it also has a bit of...skill aspect into it.
3. it is working against toxic intention of camping, BHVR wanted to punish it while not really willing to punish camping as a legit strategy.

I'm not really slamming up words, it's just that everybody has different experiences, for example i spend 10s on the ground between down and hook on average, which is nothing really bad for me. In my matches, it seems like average killer player...kinda avoids playing in the way average survivor hates.

With all the "just go next" responses i keep seeing around the forums, I think people also forget the matchmaking lock. This now needs to be adjusted to a reduced time, completely gotten rid of, or only happen after 2 back to back DC. If I don't wanna play with a slugging legion running knockout then let me find another match in peace.

don’t queue up for DBD if you’re not willing to play DBD 🤷‍♂️

You're gonna get snipe if you address ttv in your name. Anti camp meter is working due to working on face camping. It taught killer how to proxy camp the hook. Maybe take a break

Lol….

Send a PM? Or get a PC to stream? PC has always had more upsides like keyboard and mouse that console players don't get so the ability to chat is just another part of it I suppose

Nothing stopping people streaming, don't need to announce it to people. If they want viewers and put TTV in the name to get more viewers then they can't really complain when they do actually get more viewers (killer viewing).

It's much more than half

Input methods have nothing to do with overall game functionality. Consoles have on-screen keyboards that pop up for console players to type messages. This has existed literally for DECADES. People could send messages back in the xbox 360 era using this exact method. There are people that use a controller ON PC. Sure, keyboard and mouse has a slight advantage, but literally in today's age of dbd, nobody is 360ing anyone, decent killers just aren't falling for it anymore.

All of that to say: there is zero reason that BHVR can't use the console's own on-screen keyboard and enable text chat for console players. The reason console players do not have access to chat is not from a "is it possible" standpoint, but something else entirely.

And all of THAT to say: no matter what platform you want to stream on, the game shouldn't go out of its way to make it harder on a specific section of the player base just because they have chosen a specific console.

What happened to survivor? Survivors.

They give up too easy and complain about the dumbest things. Like wiggling.

The survivors you used to play with. They're gone. Replaced with a new set of survivors that know nothing about the game but everything is the killers fault.

I haven't seen many survivors or at least survivor mains talk about gen regression in the few months that I routinely get on the forums.

The only complaints that I've seen are perks like Off The Record, Windows of Opportunity, and Shoulder The Burden.

Behavior decided to nerf gen regression as it typically holds its place in the most used perks and I myself, as someone who has played killer relied on gen regression and even Sloppy Butcher before its inevitable nerf.

Instead of us vsing them in this specific post, recognize that Behavior seems to nerf perks based on usage rate or the incompetence that they have (Calm Spirit and Wake Up nerfs). Behavior nerfs both sides and I haven't seen much complaints for gen related perks - I've even said Pain Resonance is easy to work around by simply letting go before a survivor is hooked. Killers deciding to slug more due to the mori system that Behavior decides to implement, along with killers not wanting to work around second chance related perks. It has nothing to do with gen regression - Pop and Pain Resonance are still strong perks to this day.

I don't think anyone has the energy anymore. Gaming is addictive because of the dopamine hits. When you're not getting those reward signals very often, your interest will wane. Or in the case of a number of DBD players, you'll let go on hook in search of that rare game that gives you what you crave until you eventually just stop playing. And I don't just mean escaping, even things like new fun perks can provide that bit of excitement and pleasure. But those are lacking for survivor too lately.

New players are always coming in though to replace older ones, which is probably why alot of experienced players are confused at why they're getting matched with noob team mates so often.
