*Pulls out Gas Can* Hey Devs, are there any plans to adjust DS in the near future? ;3

Still waiting for them to revert that buff to 5 seconds because the reason for it no longer exists, but probably not.

What adjustments are you asking for though? I think its fine as it is.

dude i constantly get games with 2+ DS in red ranks and i rarely get stunned. just dont tunnel when you got an obsession, if you cant win games without having someone kicking the bucket early than maybe go down a few ranks by playing without tunneling. Than once you get used to playing without tunneling maybe try to rank up. you can still slug people who get unhooked and are in hitting range but dont go out of your way to slug that one guy.

How to change DS:
- DS only lasts for 20-30 seconds. No more "I was not tunneling" excuses.
- Once the unhooked Survivor gets downed by the Killer within the 30 seconds, DS becomes active and stays active until the killer picks up the survivor. No more slugging and playing around DS.
- When picked up, the Survivor faces a difficult skillcheck
- DS becomes deactivated once the survivor is fully healed or hiding in a locker or doing any actions like repairing Generators, unhooking or healing someone else. No more abuse of DS.
Simple and effective changes, for both sides very fair.

"DS becomes deactivated once the survivor is fully healed or hiding in a locker. No more abuse of DS."
Or touches a gen and we have a deal.

yea good adition.

How about if a survivor moves DS becomes inactivate?

No thank you. DS is perfectly fine.

Please find me a quote where the devs said DS is only to be used for anti tunneling purposes.
When you offer up an intelligent change for the perk I'll be sure to do just that.

No time for that, but i am sure, they mentioned it right before the rework.

I already had.
If you don't think so you can do that without backhanded sarcasm.

That's not how this works. You can't just say "idk where or when, but I'm sure they said it." Either get a direct quote or don't spread misinformation.

Unfortunately for you, you don't get to dictate how I write my comments. If you think it's inappropriate then report it. Otherwise worry about yourself.

Going to copy/paste this. :)

With Enduring no longer affecting stuns why can't we have the 3 second long stun back? 5 seconds is absolutely insane
2 -
You started a conversation with me.
You don't start a conversation with someone and then tell them to mind their own business. If you don't like my opinions then mind your own business.
If you actually get to rank 1 on both sides you will understand this games balance a little more.

People struggle with ds even after the big change?Lol

Not taking that bait, but nice try.

When you only play at low ranks you wouldn't.

I remember when the devs said they took out the “slight counter of enduring” To DS because it was 3 seconds. Which was understandable. Then they proceed to buff it to 5 seconds and not revert the enduring changes to it.
makes logical sense.
the amount of free escapes I get with DS is unbelievable, its funny to use it when you have borrowed time applied to you. :DD

Thanks!
Maybe this will decrease the number of DS topics :3

What about in the endgame situation where it's eat ds and escape hit bt and escape or get hit by both
1 -
+1
They should deactivate once gates are powered. There is very little counter play here.
0 -
Well yes, but enduring no longer plays a role in the stun time. Which is odd considering at end game it’s crucial. Not to mention they can farm you with BT, it’s pretty much a lose scenario. 5 seconds is is a lot of time to in a survivors hand.

Here is the best I can give you:
"Horvath: We decided to put a timer on Decisive Strike as one of the solutions to Decisive Strike being used too often, we tried 2 minutes internally and found that players were able to use DS a long time after being unhooked, where it no longer serves the purpose to protect you from being tunneled/ farmed."
0 -
Not enough? I profoundly disagree.
1 -
Thanks, that's interesting. I still think they see anti tunneling/farming as DS' main purpose but not necessarily its only purpose. But I appreciate you sharing that quote.
3 -
I do like this idea though.

My only issue with DS is it lasts 60 and keeps ticking no matter what. I don't want to have to leave that guy on the ground cause he maybe has DS. 60 seconds is a long time in DBD, and alot of survivors abuse it. Making it shorter or ending it when they do something like heal or fix a gen or something, would really help alot.
Before anyone says anything, I don't tunnel or camp, I rarely slug cause i like Thrilling Tremors. I still get hit with DS cause I found that one guy again before the 60 seconds is up.
0 -
I disagree, Survivors can put you into a lose-lose situation. You slug them? Unbreakable Dead Hard or Flip-Flop. They jump in a locker? Head On and Inner Strength. You pick them up? Now you're just tunneling.
Give Killers an incentive to not tunnel.

KILLAH MAINZ: tUnNeLiNg iS a LeGiT sTrAt!!1
DEVS: *changes most complained about perk to be anti-tunnel intstead of making a survivor basekit mechanic to counter tunneling*
KILLAH MAINZ: *still tunnels unhooked survivor but then slugs allowing the Dev's change to be countered and making the reason for their change pointless*

I've been a killer main for around 1500 hours of my 2k hours. Since the DS change, I've been hit with it a total of three times. Why? I don't tunnel. If You are one of two left and I down you shortly after the hook, I slug you and go for the last. By the time I get back to you, 60 seconds is gone. No DS concerns. I have enjoyed living a DS-free life to be honest.
If you have a problem with DS, you should try not tunneling so much. Period.
1 -
You should really look into the issues actually being presented regarding DS before commenting.
I'm fairly certain that most survivors agree that slugging is a fair DS counter option.

What's the timeline on getting it changed back, now that Enduring no longer effects it?

Stop tunneling
