ok so you can see everything by yourself. 3k depip. I dont get it, what do you want me to do? I proceeded with my main task and killed as many survs as I could. Yes it's not a 4k, BUT IF I WAS TO GET 4K IT SILL WOULD HAVE BEEN ONLY BLACK PIP. BLACK PIP FOR 4K? How dumb is that. This is my third case now. I've posted 3 games with same results and no clear answer!

Do I need to farm now? Do I have to let them go and earn more point just to pip or black pip. ANSWER ME! Give me an answer!

Same situations in other matches. I strongly suggest you watch the 1st link

    Just have to look at the bronze chaser category to realise the problem. Any killer who complains about the pip system isn't playing killer right.

    It's ok to camp if you want to but don't complain when you depip because of it.

    @Peanits himself stated in an other post, that DBD is tricky to pin point a right way to play the game. The question what the original vision of the killer play looked like was answered by silence (or I just over read it, in that case mb)

    Clearly with the new emblem system they are trying to push a more survivors fun orientated system, but are too afraid to communicate clearly what they would like to see in their game and in principle they cannot force the killers to play a certain style, like they cannot force SWF and other voicecom users to not take advantage of 3th party program for ingame advantage from time to time.

    So we end up with voice and campers.

    This is because devs are making killers play the way survivors see it "fair".

    I personally hate tunneling and camping but that's not an excuse to make people play in a way that they dont like

    Well it looks like you haven't chased the survivors for more than one minute and you hooked them just once

    I like how most answers are form survivor mains =) And to a person above - isnt it better if i end chases faster? I want to kill them as fast as i can. And to all people say that I was camping in that match, i suggest you read how territorial imperrative works =)

    haha... Play like a D-bag and the emblems reward you for that.


    You got what you deserved... Simple. What were you expecting when you play like an a-hole?

  • Lamia
    Lamia Member Posts: 25

    You should get rewarded for quick chase wins, not punished..

  • KillermainBTWm8
    KillermainBTWm8 Member Posts: 4,212

    You're chaser emblem says it all friendo a 3k and a bronze chaser? Your devout helps your case even more and no I am not a "survivor main" I am simply calling out that you were camping otherwise you wouldn't have silver devout and bronze chaser (: why deny it though I am curious? It's not forbidden but expect to depip if you do it because the devs try to push killers to not camp because survivors complain about camping.

    Dude ur playing Leatherface, thats why


    Freddy, Pig/ Trapper/ Leatherface all have these issues

  • TheBean

    You do.. if you only have 3 or 4 quick chase wins when you can win 24.... You only got only roughly 17% of the points you could have earned. Why should you get points for things you didn't earn?

    Talk about a self-own. This is why I think people who complain should be required to post clips of their games. 😉

    People here don't understand how Chaser works.

    This player could've killed those 3 Survivors completly fair by hooking everyone 3 times but if the last Survivor never got found, it would lead to Bronze Chaser Emblem.

    9x Survivors found = 45 points

    9x Survivors hit = 495 points

    9x <30 second chases = 540 points

    Total: 1080 points

    Result:

    BRONZE Chaser Emblem.

    @TheBean because he (assuming only 3 chases) would have eliminated the actual necessity for those additional chases by killing them without them.

    What exactly do you think those emblems are supposed to track anyways? Their stated intention is the gauge the skill of each player involved. This is a problem because less chases with the same number of Kills requires more of a skill gap and not less of a skill gap

  • rha

    Are you sure that you correctly understand how it works? That would be ridiculous. I am fairly sure that points have to be cumulative, for longer chases the point gains just decrease over time. A chase < 30 seconds would be worth 150 points, not 60. It your example this would mean a Gold chaser which sounds a bit more reasonable to me.

    @NuclearBurrito They track your ability to play the match properly to how the Devs feel you should play.

    Your skill comes down to how well you play that playstyle.

    So if you don't take the risk cause you think you are better than those survivors, why should you be rewarded extra for not taking that risk?

    For example.. I play in the low ranks.. so I get a good mix bag of players. Sometimes I'll play a group.. and they do really well and make it very difficult to find, catch and hook any of them. Other times, I play against a group who play really well, but I still do well against them.. I felt it was a good challenge for both sides....

    Then I play against a group where I'm cutting and hooking them all at least once, before 1 gen gets done. So... How do I play out that match?... Do I just keep hosing those survivors without giving them a chance?... Do I deserve to be rewarded, if I don't take any risk with them, and kill them all on their 2nd hook... or even 1st hook since I can stop anyone from being saved?

    This is where I don't understand why players feel that when you completely outplay the otherside, where you know they won't have anymore chance to win before two gens get done... Why should I then be rewarded for killing those survivors quickly...Just cause I can.

    Those survivors in that match, probably have already given up. They probably feel their is no chance for them either.

    So... I take the risk... I leave them all alone, until they regroup... and I come at them again... Then back off.. Then come at them again... and again.. till I start killing them off slowly. 3 dead... 1 leaves... iri and gold across the board... why?.. Cause I decided, I won already, so I can slow down and give them a chance... maybe they will all still get out.. maybe not. However I feel when I do this.. now the survivors may not all be pissed off.. and might have had some fun cause they had a chance to get some BP.


    If you aren't even going to take any risk.. Then what makes you think you deserve more points?

    Tbh I think the real answer to this is not that it punishes campers more that you need to do better to pip, if everyone got to pip just because they did the "best they could", than mostly everyone would in the red ranks.

    You still shouldnt camp, hurts your score too much.

    Play how survivors deem fit or you'll depip.

    Your goal is no longer securing kills, but providing good times.

  • lucvus

    I main both. Sounds dumb but I enjoy both. I average 3 to 4k every time I play killer. Little advice. Stop thinking of it like a game. Instead think like a horror movie. With the exception of minor rolls main survivors were never killed off fast. Killer played with them. Tormented and scared them. Dont be predictable. Play like a horror movie. Until you get used to it you may only get 2-3k a game. But as you get better at it. You will enjoy it much better. Trust me. When I play a killer I assume that killer.role. Freddy=scare tactics. Leather face was all about chasing. Michael was stalker always watching. Dont be afraid to really play the game as your killer. So much more fun that speedy killing survivors. Plus I usually get erodecent on 3 emblems and gold on last one.
