  • Nah even if no one said that last time people would still be saying it. Whichever side has the easier time likes to stay stronger and uses it as an excuse. Using “you said this last time” is just an excuse. Just like the people last time saying “it’s just a party game” was just an excuse because they want to stay powerful.
  • Demo is definitely viable against the majority of the player base. I used to main him awhile ago and still play him a lot so I’m happy to help as much as I can! Portals: A good thing to do is to try to place them between gens in a spot where one portal can cover multiple generators at once. So rather than spending time…
  • They don't even need to down someone, just have to hit another survivor.
  • I thinks fair to be disappointed when these are the only real changes Myers has ever received and they still aren’t really going to make much of a different. I don’t think I’d be happy if I waited years for my main to receive a single actual buff only to see it’s just some number adjustments. So I can understand why Myers…
  • No Quarter honestly doesn’t seem that good though The only time someone is really going to miss it is if you use it alongside other perks but that still will have its downsides. Coulrophobia is one that comes to mind, but you shouldn’t be healing while that’s active anyway. You can pair it with Mangled to slow it down but…
  • Not only that but they also published the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game which is filled with highly expensive micro transactions.
  • Yeah there’s a lot of references like that in the game. Even if your aren’t a fan of those type of games it’s still fun just to see all the references!
  • There was a pharmacy that referenced Clown in Casting of Frank Stone, and honestly I could see him owning one.
  • Pharmacy: When injured, Pharmacy activates (REMOVED) Unlocking chests is 70/85/100% faster. (was 40/60/80% faster) The hearing distance for noises from unlocking chests are reduced by 20 meters. (was 8 meters) Pharmacy guarantees an Emergency Med-Kit upon completing the interaction.
  • "When I loop the killer for almost the entire match I feel so bad I decide to just give a kill to them." If you want to rank up you have to stop doing that. "pretty sure BHVR said not long time ago that if 1 survivors dies it doesn't count as a "lost game" regarding mmr" There's been no mention of how the MMR actually…
  • All they really have to do is change her quotes on the perks. You could view the perks as untrusting or a necessary alliance already. Or even her thinking it's all a test. Clean Break could easily be something like "I don't need your help I can do this myself" or "You'll just mess it up" Shoulder the Burden could be…
  • Calling this a pseudo killer perk is a massive exaggeration. Maybe we should wait until it’s actually released before jumping to conclusions.
  • It kinda looks to me like it might just be the Pale Rose. Maybe an updated version in a Swamp rework? I’m guessing they chose Swamp to represent her because it has a giant ship on it. The 2024 roadmap only listed one map in December this year so it looks like Ormond is the only new map we are getting and it isn’t tied to…
  • It may or may not be too powerful, but I do think that regardless of that it’s a step in the right direction. Once tunnelling is dealt with then BHVR can focus on making playing around 12 hooks more manageable for killers. And this seems like a really good way to combat tunnelling without it being able to be abused…
  • To be fair, I don’t think they’ve ever said it was a full rework. Even the roadmap lists it as “Killer Update”. Since Myers and the rest this patch were listed as just tweaks and he’s the only killer listed for changes in a mid-chapter patch, I think it’s safe to say Freddy is getting something more substantial than the…
  • Doesn't seem much different for me. Played 5 games today and 3 of them were high red ping :(
  • I’m so sorry you have to go through that. I wish you and your family the best. This is a very sweet and thoughtful thread. I’ll make sure to goof around more often and spread your positivity ❤️ If you don’t mind sharing it, what’s your stream? I’d love to check it out.
  • Call it whatever you want, it's still a fairly good perk now. It's not as powerful as before but it isn't useless like people are saying.
  • In a vacuum that works, but with a lot of maps having few line of sight breakers to use and the fact that you can use some aura perks to basically remove this counter play in a lot of scenarios, I think it's fair to say that she is at least very poorly designed and unhealthy for the game. Maps like The Game or Borgo there…
  • Off the Record's aura effect isn't cancelled by a conspicuous action. Also Shadow Step exists and Distortion is pretty good now after it's newest buffs. There is a lot of aura perks being run now, but that's partially because there isn't really anything else to run aside from slow down which people also don't like to play…
  • The problem with this is that if you remove her ability to use auras then Nurses will have no reason not to just run full slowdown. And full slowdown Nurse is way more oppressive than aura Nurse. She needs to be reworked honestly because her design just breaks the entire game.
  • Yeah no idea why this isn’t a thing already. SWF can already co-ordinate this easily so there’s really no reason not to let everyone see it. It does fill. Chasing doesn’t pause the timer. If a survivor is within 16 metres then the timer is slowed down. The only time it pauses is the 7 second grace period at the start or…
  • Wishful thinking, but I wish they would spend an entire update on just making the most miserable aspects of the game less common. I just want the game to not feel as miserable as it is right now. even if it is a bit unbalanced. Make tunnelling, camping, and slugging less common. Find someway to reduce the insane amount of…
  • Honestly I don’t see anything wrong with this thread. OP isn’t overreacting to anything, aside from maybe the title There’s nothing wrong with giving a prediction. There’s nothing Us vs Them about it and don’t seem to be complaining about any of it and just giving their opinion. Compared to most threads here, this post is…
  • Posts like this are probably the exact reason why BHVR are so hesitant to show any stats. There's way too many variables and behind the scenes factors that go into these stats that them releasing them often has no real benefit. They just get twisted to fit whatever narrative you prefer. They didn't even share them here yet…
  • While I wouldn’t say it’s the best, I have to agree that NoES was the one that felt the most special to me. It just felt like a huge new experience. It’s really sad what happened to Freddy, but it’s also interesting that if you think about it Freddy’s actually had more of an impact on this game than most killers. He’s one…
  • Could be interesting but would definitely need to be harder to obtain than Chemical Trap and Flashbang.
  • Is that really toxic though? While they were wrong to say you didn't help, they don't have to let you go. I don't think that it was really toxic rather just a misread of the situation. The real toxic player is the guy who decided to give up less than 2 minutes into the match. Blame them for the bad game not the killer.
  • Dead Hard. I know it's been nerfed and no where near as bad as it once was but it still is annoying to play against. Especially as Demo when you often need to make a split second Shred and there's just nothing you can do because of it :( And yeah, as everyone else has already said, Knock Out is really unhealthy for solo…
  • Distortion screws over I'm All Ears hard. Rather than see their aura, they just become completely stealthy after vaulting. The perk is basically a hinderance to you against a Distortion user. I think letting it burn through tokens is a fair compromise honestly. And even then, you just regain both tokens before IAE is off…
  • Oh wow what a coincidence! Perfect demonstration! It looks like the sound is cutting out when the position of the camera would cause the little edge of the wall next to you to block the generator from your sight. It's been like this for years though so I doubt there will be any update for it any time soon :/
  • Would be interesting but sadly wouldn't work. People would just bring the strongest items and add ons every game and make the whole thing pointless. Without anti-tunnel there's nothing to discourage tunnelling so solo queue would be unplayable, and low-tier killers would struggle unfairly compared to the high tier ones.
  • Sound behind walls has been awful since they added that "occlusion" effect years ago. It's supposed to muffle it but for some reason it can just make them completely silent or have no effect at all. You can test it yourself - as a killer, go to a generator that is behind a wall and rotate your camera or walk around the…
  • A ping limiter would be nice, but sadly it would kill the OCE player base because for some reason they insist on shoving us into random high ping servers :/
  • Better than 4 slowdown and 4 extra lives, at least. I can't blame people for running aura perks honestly. What else is there to use really? Slowdown is frowned upon, chase perks suck (aside from Coup on a select few killers), Undetectable perks are mostly bad (and useless on already stealthy and loud killers/lullabies),…
  • As a Ghostface main, I welcome you to the club of licensed killers with a Blighted and Anniversary skin! Who will reach the trifecta of Blighted, Anniversary, and Ugly Sweater first? Both just need a sweater to complete it, but Chucky has caught up and now only needs an Anniversary skin to complete his set!
  • Not only is it giant, it's also clipping through at the bottom! I think it might be bugged and the weapon is elevated higher than it's supposed to be. Either way though it's still gigantic.
  • I think the implications behind both are pretty similar, it's just that people have become numb to tea-bagging or forgotten it's original meaning because of how common it is in every game and that in DbD it doesn't happen over a body. W-Sing is newer so people aren't used to it and unlike tea-bagging, the survivor can't…
  • Probably because they won't require as many adjustments to fit into 2v8. Doctor is complex and would require a lot more done to him than just simple tweaks like Blight and Trapper. Doctor also drops frames for some people and in 2v8 that would just be much worse, so it would probably be better to fix that before adding…
  • Yup definitely. They already said last year he was deprioritised because of Skull Merchant.This will be like her 3rd rework before Freddy gets anything. And they gave Skull Merchant some "in the mean time" balance changes before her rework so there's no reason they can't also just give Freddy something small until his…
  • A big part of it is that there just isn't really anything else to run. They're so consistent and safe that there's no point running anything else when the other options are pretty bad. Aura perks are good, but Distortion hard countered them to the point it wasn't ever worth running more than one (and certain ones like I'm…
  • My main and favourite character to play as and against :D If he wasn't in the game I probably would've quit after the Freddy rework. Disagree with people saying his 99 shouldn't be possible, that would kill him and remove the most fun part of playing. He's already pretty mediocre so I don't think he needs any nerfs and…
  • The game is never going to be perfectly balanced. Compared to what it was previously the game's balance is infinitely better. When people aren't playing like complete ######### and the matchmaking works, the game is actually pretty balanced for the most part. I even think tunnelling is 'balanced' right now, it's just awful…
  • Normally I come into these threads and say something like “this game is in a great spot right now!” or something positive but lately this game hasn’t been fun on either side. I’m an OCE player so every second game I’m shoved into Asian servers with high ping because for some reason they decided to merge us awhile ago. I…
  • Yeah as much as I hate leavers, tunnelling really needs to be addressed before hand or alongside leaver punishments. Once tunnelling is addressed then we can address throwers because the majority of the remaining ones will probably be the petty ones. Once that’s done I think there are a few ways to deal with leavers and…
  • Agree to disagree. Dragging the game out is the most boring thing a killer can do in my opinion and Dracula can't do that any better than the average killer, so I don't think he has everything boring about DbD in him.
  • I like how it got Macmillan Estate correct but then just gave up.
  • Bat form is a little over-tuned, but the most boring in DbD history? He has some tough competition for that title. No way he is worse than Chess Merchant, old 3 gen Knight, OG Legion, moonwalk Legion, Forever Freddy, Condemn strat Sadako, OG Iri Head Huntress, box-blocking Pig, Starstruck Nurse, 'rework' Twins, Tombstone…
  • I saw her a fair amount when there was that period where they were giving her a lot of skins. But then they stopped giving her skins and the amount of players decreased :(
  • They didn't do this to Freddy though, if anything they did the opposite. His OG design received NO changes after his initial nerfs. Rather than give him some temporary buffs until his rework they ignored him because they didn't feel there was any point in updating him when a rework was coming. His original nerfs weren't to…
