STOP Complaining!!! Take a break from playing killer.
Hi everyone, let me start by saying that I have not used ruin in the past weeks, and we all know how well that goes. We do well against some bags of potatoes, but we get really short games against a half-decent team.
Despite that, I also understand how detrimental RUIN is for most of the killer roster thanks to the atrocious map design in this game (have fun scaring survivors of gens in corn maps or red forest).
I also know many killers won't be affected at all by this change, and I admire these killers for their skill, but the majority of killers seem to be pretty upset, thus the current uproar on the forums.
I believe the biggest problem isn't Ruin itself, but how blatant biased the whole dev update was. Not even once did they talk about the "fun" aspect for killer players.
What about new killers that get looped to oblivion? Are we nerfing all the loops as well? Cause new players can't deal with them. (hell, some are so broken that even good players can't).
What about the fun for the player playing AS THE DOCTOR? uh, guess is an oversight.
With that out of the way, here is my idea.
some time ago, the Anthem community had a weekend OFF, in which players weren't supposed to log in. It was supposed to send a message, that they weren't happy with the direction the game was going.
Did it work? I don't know; but the message was loud enough that even I who never played Anthem got to know about this weekend off.
This is what I would like to propose to all the killers that are considering quitting the game. Just take a break. A whole week break. Play survivor, go finish a game you've laying around on your desk.
If you insist on playing whilst you are this frustrated, you won't have any fun in the game; thus my suggestion.
JUST TAKE A BREAK. A WHOLE WEAK BREAK FROM PLAYING KILLER.

What's the point of taking a break if you'll come back to the same things that made you stop playing in the first place? Devs won't magically fix things because of a week-long break.

I dont know man, imagine how long queue times would be.

You're right, maybe we should go play civilization.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne hits PC on Thursday. I was going to be diving full force into that game anyway, the timing just works out nicely.

Well, it's time to learn how to play without ruin but it keeps a defeat for us killers because they are only nerfing us in a year or two

Whatever floats your boat. Just wash off the frustration for a while. You can still play SURVIVOR, is fun with friends =)

They have already opened up matchmaking so survivors (specially red ranks) face lower ranks killer to make up for the lower killer base. The thing is, they're hiding matchmaking now so no one is going to be able to complaint.

You know when people take a break from something, it often means they just stop playing, which is bad for the health of the game. For every Killer that leaves 4 more survivors are now queing for the remaining Killer pool.
Its not a great way for a company to maintain a game.

Oh im about to take a break, so don't worry about that =)

Thanks, I needed a suggestion since I was already burning myself out on this game.

I think lots of people will take a break from killer, perhaps permanent. You'll know when you are sitting in a lobby and one of your friends recommends playing something else because you have been waiting for a game for 20 minutes.

Yeah... I agree... only a little problem, If there isn´t killer in the game, the game itself doesn´t exist, simple as that.

Keep playing killer, let the devs see what difference it makes. They will have to address the gen speed if killers can't win without Ruin. The ruin change when paired with the addressing of gen speed will be fairer for all ranks and mean the devs don't have to try and balance everything both with and without ruin.

I have taken a break from killer. Too many frustrations (rank issue is one of them)... I mainly play survivor now and I'm rank 1... and extremely board.
Fun seems to be synonymous for easy in dead by daylight.

If you haven’t played the base game (Iceborne is a second story that requires the first story to be played and beaten) they have a special armorset and weapon tree for each weapon designed to help people clear the story quickly (Read as: a bit OP and easy to craft/upgrade compared to most normal sets). Helps streamline the experience, though personally I think you miss out on some of the experience if you use them... (Defender gear, for reference).

Ik,i will play civ :D

Civ 5 is $29.99 on Steam right now.

Before we talk about holding a strike again, can we first watch how the game plays in like less then an hour?

Far as a rather large server I'm in which is focused around playing dbd, a large chunk of the killers are already quitting from the general tone and clear message of this update.
30-40 by my last count, and most of them seem serious.
Some of them are even going to try out LoL.

I have never played it, but I did see a gameplay vid a long while back and thought it interesting. I just never gave it a deeper look due to it releasing on console and I only play PC (don’t own a console or tv <_<). Has the base game been released on PC and if so, does it run smooth?

Base game’s been out on PC for a while, yeah, and we get Iceborne Thursday. No one in my friend group has had an issue running the game, even in the first couple of weeks past release when people were claiming there were a ton of problems with the port. That being said, they had numerous updates to fix issues lower end machines were having with it, and I don’t believe I’ve seen anything recent that’s complained about the port being bad. I’ve logged just over 450 hours in it (for reference I’ve done 850 hours in DbD) and that was all base game. Iceborne adding a whole second half to the game, revamping all the existing monsters and adding a dozen+ more...I’ll break 1000 almost certainly.

Okay, thanks for the info. My last computer died so I built one with a Ryzen 3700x cpu and a 1660ti graphics card, so I’m not too worried about being able to handle it. It’s not the top of the line build, but for my casual butt, it’s enough.

Imagine if all, or a majority, of killers took a break. Where would that leave the survivor mains. . .
1 -
Shut the hell up Mathieu

okay.
who are the survivors gonna face then though?
i mean, currently pretty much everyone from the killer community - including me, even though im not even a fan of ruin - is pissed. so should we all just take a break?
1 -
They should add a gen and have the survivors finish six gens instead, or give them a new objective they have to do also before escaping that they have to do, and which gives them more BP per game in general.

Why cant everyone just have fun and play different tactic games. Win some lose some. Just have fun. Do different things have different goals. Why is everyone so uptight on this game. I've seen so many changes with the game, I've played when sprint burst and lithe was infinite. Changes are good too, because it's a challenge and new to everyone. Just have fun. Just have FUN. If you dont like the teabagging look away. lol. I play survivor and killer, I know killer can be frustrating if you let it be. If you're having trouble it's probably because you arentplaying the right perks for what you're trying to achieve. Play around with perks. I often get four sacrifices with NO RUIN. I dont even own it. When I bring extravagent perks ofound I do worse. It depends on wht you bring, how you use them. Just have fun. Allow yourself and survivors to have fun. I never tunnel, I never camp. It's fine. you'll be fine. lol
example, I hate seeing pig come after survivors putting the trap on their head and immediately tunneling them after getting unhooked. like whats the point of the trap if youre gonna tunnel them without giving them the chance to remove the trap. they already have a nice chance their head might blow up, WHY TUNNEL. it makes the game so boring. you may as well have the survivors line up for you to get hooked and stand there when they get unhooked to just die immediately after. its SO BORING.
some killers dont know how to allow themselves to have fun,you gotta allow survivors to have fun for yourself to have fun.
RELAX AND HAVE FUN

You mean the play as the issue that got us nerfed in the first place? I'm good :^) I'm messing with you, but survivor ques are way too long

Plz can you give this to me. I need to watch that

I dont know if it's the same one but he said "if you're that frustrated go play something else". he apologised for saying that I belive a day after. He said it in a joking way that didnt come off joking to alot of people. you can google exactly that to find it. "Mathieu Cote saying "go play something else" it should pop up
