Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

This game is becoming Nurse by Ghoul Blight isnt it?

With these changes the killer players are going to be pushed more towards Nurse Ghoul and Blight, killers that will hardly be punished and will not get any use out of the bloodlust buff when they can go faster by using their power anyway. The bloodlust is not even good enough for m1 killers and now your changing syringes to be able to give a free sprint burst or Lithe? Did m1 killers do something to you guys at BHVR cause it seems like they are your number one enemys rn. You give m1 killers a bad reward and a useless reward for the top tiers cause they will just be like dash go brrrrr.

    Yup they need to deal with them, it's getting beyond a joke how many hyper mobility killers we have now. It's not fun to play against at all, it's probably a huge reason why a lot of core players stop playing too on survivor side.

    We need to bring them down to Wesker's level around about.

    I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m officially at the point where that threat doesn’t mean anything anymore because it’s been pulled out so often.

    Let’s flip that around shall we? We can throw these changes away if they remove Blight, Nurse, and Ghoul from the game - sound fair? I personally like playing them sometimes myself but if it’ll stop the constant killer complaining then I suppose I could live with it.

    Bro it's so boring and tiring. Every time any positive change is proposed for survivors this old chestnut gets spammed. But there'll also be a simultaneous thread stating all the killers are already Blight and Nurse.

    So which is it? Are they all currently Blight and Nurse or will they all become Blight and Nurse?

    i like playing against these killers too but i just want these changes and future changes to effect every killer equally an fairly in terms of their own strength there cannot be favorites. I know its a pipe dream but imo every killer deserves their place in this game but it just feels like if this keeps up the power creep problem will become even worse and the most optimal choice will drown out the fun and diversity even more.

    Its so lame.. as a new killer I wish more of the awesome killers from movies where good. It's so sad that I cant play any of the cool killers.. makes me not want to spend money on the game or play it

    I mean yeah. Survivors are getting so efficient while maps are actively changing in their favor in a way where low tiers simply aren't that viable anymore if the survivors have any idea what game they're playing. It's a lot more fun to use Ghoul and Blight and have constant/interactive chases than running from pallet to pallet and breaking like a literal robot.

    A lot of the reason people don't exactly like Ghoul and Blight is that they are the types of killers where you are forced to be the better player to play well against whether they like to admit it or not.

    This is so true. I main Spirit and Sadako, but I like using Nurse against my friends and the bots; I only occasionally use her in public matches. Her learning curve is so stupidly high that when I see her as I'm playing survivor, I don't worry and I usually escape. Only once did I encounter a god Nurse, and she slugged all of us in about 2 minutes. There is no in between with her. You're either as broken and S-tier as the consensus says, or you're a silly goose trying to not overshoot everything you fly to XD

    • The truth is that Nurse, Blight, and Kaneki (and maybe a few others) are very strong killers regardless of how the game changes (for better or for worse). Viceversa, weak killers will always be weak. Example: if Trapper is weak with 10 pallets on the map, he was weak even when the same map had 8.

    I recently was told that anything not sitting on a gen may as well be being afk.

    So when a killer does focus 1 target deadits toxic but when a survivor focus a gen down without "wasting time searching and walking between gens" (multply by each free surv), its just the expected normal gameplay.

    Its funny how the efficiency (and hypocrisy)is hardwired into the survivor brain.

    I totally agree with you! Most of the content creators are killer mains and they are really vocal about the changes - I hate it.

    Hipocrisy is so out there - killers say there should be harshier punishments for people DCing, but don't understand why people are DCing. They don't understand that surviviors might not like the killer they play, the way they play. How miserable the experience is - "they DC and they destroy my BIG GUY experience, should be punished more for it!" and they play blight with 4 rergession perks, tunneling without a valid reason.

    There are killers that need to tunnel and there are killers that don't. Surviviors understand that - if you tunnel them as a trapper they're fine with it.

    I really want bhvr to implement those anti-tunnel changes, I really want experience to be better for surviviors so I can try to get my friends back to playing DBD with me.

    Unironically this is what I wish they would do. Scrap all of the changes for all I care. Just do something about S tier and borderline S tier killers. It would make balancing the entire game much easier if they didn't exist.

    After maining pig for a few years ive since switched to ghoul and godamn has the game become more fun because of it. Why? Simple he can keep up with the pace of the game AND hes fun to play bc of his mobility and consequently map pressure.

    Is he annoying to go against? Yes yes he is but with the pallet density changes hes become more managable since you can pre drop them for days so unless he uses the pallet vault hes fine to deal with in my opinion.

    Id even be fine with them removing that aspect of his kit. The only "vault" id keep is the window vault since that makes him playable on certain tiles like shack and mothers dwellings main (not that mothers dwelling doesnt have a million pallets to begin with but i digress).

    Wil i ever return to pig? Unless bhvr massivly helps killers without mobility then probably not

    I don't understand this? My games are always blight, Ghoul or nurse anyway. I occasionally get an Oni and very rarely a Myers or Wraith..

    I too skip Ghoul games, ain't nobody got time for that. 🙂

    Nurse isn't even a top 10 most played killer.

  • cogsturning
    cogsturning Member Posts: 2,250

    Oh, I think they understand, they just don't care. They need real people trapped in a hopeless match with them to feed their egos. I don't DC but I get why people do and I don't blame them.

    I've also lost a lot of friends and am playing more and more killer because of that. But the killers who don't care about the survivor experience continue to be the loudest. Even now, the ptb feedback section is full of criticism from brand new forum accounts, yet many of the typical survivor posters have been strangely absent. The survivor mains just aren't as loud or as emotionally extreme as the killer mains, and as much as they like to say this forum is "survivor-sided" that certainly isn't the case right now.

    This is what happens when BHVR handholds survivors as much as they do. "Oh I don't know how to play against this killer, I'll just Dc, no penalty anyway". Or one of the other million excuses they come up with. But mainly it's because BHVR has been catering towards that kind of behaviour.

    Which is why the nerfs gotta be directly at them nurse ghoul blight instead of Vague nerfs that generalize all killers

    No we need per killer tutorials to players know what to expect when facing such killers (like a tips and tricks trial for both sides)

    Ghoul is still super unfun and annoying to play against. Just like Legion only a more powerful killer

    No she isnt, she isnt even in top 50% killers with highest kill rate on average she has smaller kill rate than trapper (if we dont count high mmr where she rules with blight) but she is still strongest killer in the game I mean her power needs to be strong because she is just about her whole power with 96 or 98% speed you cant chat survivor that have basekit 100% speed and other killers have 110 or 115% so she is just desingned to be all yout her power but her power is nuts I dont even know why having aura reading abled when charging or using the blink is still in the game it should be same as spirits haunt phase just imagine if spirit could see survivor in her phase if she had aura read on then that would be nuts like 165% or higher speed how would you outplay it.

    I would like compare spirit to nurse or blight especialy blight just look at them blight 115% speed killer with 5 dashes that are basekit faster than billy or oni and have great reach plus his whole power cooldown is just 10 seconds and that is only if you use your whole 5 dashes and then spirit 110% speed killer with like 165% or what speed in her power where she cant see survivors only track them basekit by blood,cratch marks or sound and her cooldown is basekit like 15 seconds which is nuts to think about these two but bhvrs golden child cant be hurt at all I guess just look how long had other killers like dracula strong addons like his meduza hair it didnt even was in the strongest state in the game for whole year and just compare him to blights old addons like alchemy ring or compound 33 that were effects on second strongest killer in the game till this day after removal of his hug tech (strongest hugh tech that ever existed not even weskers or draculas wolf could match it) that like if you give trapper addon that when survivor steps into trap gets one hook stage and it could kill him when he is dead on hook trapper would still not be that strong as old blight with his best addons but majority of survivor and devs like him so there is nowonder why he is still not tunned down as ghoul was or other characters like chucky,dracula,spirit.

    High a-tier, s-tier was his first released version but I agree about the vault like kidnap tech was bs thing but they fixed it and now he seem to slow the survivor down for some reason and thats something that before didnt happen unless you got kidnaped. He still has more restriction on his power cooldown compare to blight that is with brutal strenght just break catch up hit and again.

    For me he is still easier to play version of blight from Wish.
