  • Honestly, I didn't even notice the new animations, because I was so frustrated with the new UI. It seems to take the same amount of information, and make it take up twice as much space, while being just difficult enough that you only read about half of what is actually present. A huge part of the problem, and the reason…
  • No, I don't have any video. I don't record my gameplay. Also, You're correct about how rancor is triggered, now that I've read them and noticed the wording difference between them, however, I believe that that is fully unfair and should be changed to be in line with other end game perks. Why should noed proc, but not…
  • Hopefully soon, but I'm starting to doubt it. It's getting to the point where I don't want to even try to do the killer portion of the rift, and just do the survivor side with my friends. Every other match or more is against rank 1 or 2's. And I'm rank 9. Last game I got two hooks the entire game. Why the hell am I playing…
  • Had a lovely match just now where I was a rank 9 killer, against a 3 man swf that was all red ranks, with a rando in purple ranks. Yes. That was totally fair and fun. I would outright rather wait an extra 20 minutes for a match that is fair and actually ######### fun.
  • Reading through this, here are my thoughts. Now, not saying this to boast or say "I'm the best at the game," but just to show that, hey, I've been playing a while too. (before reset) I was a rank 1 survivor, and I have more time than I would care to admit in this game. I play killer fairly often too, but not as good there.…
  • I believe I heard that they implemented it, and removed it. and if it wasn't, it sticks very close to the rank anyways. Either way... I agree with the thread. It needs to be fixed/redone. Played a match with a friend that just got the game a little while ago, and we went up against a rank 15 killer. I'm rank 1. He was rank…
  • Honestly, as someone that plays mostly survivor, with a friend, I'm ok with most of these changes. HOWEVER, the big problem I have is that windows and pallets are simply broken right now. Go completely through a window, and move away, take a hit. Drop a pallet, get the stun (hearing the killer's reaction and getting the…
  • I just played with a few buddies for about 3 hours, all of which was streamed by one of them. Due to both the rank reset, and the flood of people trying to play ghostface, we got killers all the way from rank 17, to 8. We were all close in rank, I think we all started at about 11 or 10. The vast majority of games, we…
  • Frankly, if they're willing to play with the audio levels like this, and make the game dead silent, they should just give us control, and actually just give us a fricken audio slider. So we can control how loud or quiet the music is. If they're fine with this, then why is it a problem if I want to actually hear the music?
  • If they want us to be able to have no music, they should just give us a slider, rather than change it willy nilly. If you're ok with the lack of music, let US control how much music we have!
  • Bodyblocking is a bit of a loose term. Basically, what's bannable is where you prevent the game from playing out like normal. Examples of this is a survivor or the killer bodyblocking a survivor in a corner, and not allowing them to escape. That's actually the only one that comes to mind. Essentially, it's kind of an…
  • For survivors, I'm being very functional about it: Getting everyone to 40, pushing one survivor to 50, and playing them until I run out of offerings/items. I then leave them without items/offerings, but don't prestige, that way I have the perks in case I get a specific survivor daily. I've drained 4-5 survivors like this.…
  • I didn't screenshot it or anything, but I distinctly remember less than a week ago, me and 3 friends were just casually playing...and we were just really, really winning this one. No hooks, heck, no downs even. I think our spread at the time was something like 4, 5, 10, 14. VS a rank 20, level 1 killer (survivor main…
  • Buff. It no longer needs you to be the obsession to function, which is an important note I think. It's essentially a self-applied version of borrowed time. The only concern are the ones that other's have mentioned, specifically dying light.
  • Well, I say that, but literally the last match I played for the event (killer dailies, since that's how you drive people to play killer during a survivor-sided event), wraith, two sacrifices. I thought "alright, I'll down a guy, chase him, and camp him to death. Probably take two matches, but they'll get their event done a…
  • That's me generally. I make an exception if it's an extremely altruistic team, to try and bait them. End game, the survivor annoyed me/was toxic, as bait in specific scenarios, or if I happen to come back when they're close to death. For example, I had a match just a bit ago where there was 3 survivors left (one on the…
  • I LOVE this idea! On the survivor's side, it's desperately needed, since they only have one kind of secret offering. You change where you spawn, or...that's it. Even just changing the map offerings to secret will give enough of a wider selection that this problem will cease to exist. On the killer's side, it helps with…
  • That's...an interesting perspective. Especially when survivors have been overpowered for most of the game's life.
  • That would be a valid argument...if it wasn't worth running for the bonus bloodpoints alone. And not to go deep into the "toxic perk" argument, but do you also not use decisive strike, etc, when you play survivor?
  • Really is ironic that you say that. If just trying to "not lose" is a bannable offense in that specific situation, I would honor the ban, and play games that don't punish me for trying to not lose :3 Luckily it isn't that situation, and we don't have to question what would or should happen then.
  • What I really like at this moment is the idea of something much simpler: A secret offering that adds 1/2/3 additional dull totems. It would make for an interesting counter to the hunting of hexes to prevent noed
  • And also doing some research on a non-physical toolbox. Or cardboard box. Or a toolbox that halfway turns into a cardboard box!
  • I would like to point out that, for one, the devs have said that survive with friends was intended from the start. Secondly, they are deliberately making a change to the matchmaking system so that all survivors load in at the same time: SWF or not, they all appear together. And to the OP, I dodge if the match seems like a…
  • While the sentiment is valid, mechanically it wouldn't work, and at the very least, people wouldn't go for the spirit of it. I just actually posted in a thread where I literally thought "Have you even played survivor?" Guy complaining about the hatch. (my standard response is always "Oh, ok! Let's get rid of it! So, when…
  • Ok. Get rid of the hatch. Do it! You'll see how fun the game is when I'm the only person left, there's 2 gens left to do, and I won't touch them, and I won't quit. It'll become a contest of "who's willing to DC first," and THAT is bad game design. Also, "earning it" is a foolish way to look at it. And play some survivor…
  • Yes, actually. It was against a doctor (as you can see), and a match that lasted essentially 30 minutes
  • Yes, we were playing SWF. The killer was slugging at the time anyways. This was a key they found in the match anyways, so they didn't care about it. It was a doctor with a stall build. Match literally lasted half an hour.
  • I like how everyone is saying colors and not the actual ping. It usually spikes when someone joins/attempts to join the lobby. It settles down a few seconds. If it's still bad ping after 5-10 seconds after everyone joins, it likely isn't a good lobby to play. And the fact of the matter is, if you are consistently getting…
  • It could potentially be a new sales tax in your area. Whenever I buy content on steam, I get charged the sales for my state.
  • My short reply became a wall of text I'm going to make its own thread. However, long story short, matchmaking is based on rank. And the ranking system is a touch broken. I went from 9 to 3 in a few hours (unintentionally) by playing with a few friends who were a lower rank than me (Just trying to play with them), and…
  • I started playing around the mid-chapter patch during the clown's chapter. The first time I heard the music posted here was after the spirit's mid-chapter patch, until the halloween event started iirc. I also like it quite a bit more than the "one theme for all menus." It gives each one a different feels, since there's…
  • I think the hatch and that part of the endgame needs a rework in general, but you keep making posts about survivors DCing to give the hatch.... I've literally never seen that done. Ever. Killing themselves on the hook? Sure, often enough, and it's perfectly fine. Actual disconnects? I've had one person disconnect right at…
  • Small game hunter. It's rabbit season boys. Real talk, I enjoy running small game anyways. Useful against trappers and hags too
  • If you remove SWF, survivors will lobby dodge to get into the same lobby as their friends, like they apparently did before swf was implimented. 
  • If you didn't want to have left overs, you shouldn't have power llevelled during the event. I had well over half a million bloodpoints at the end of the event, but I specifically waited for the event to end before doing so. I mean. I levelled my brand new hag during the event quite a bit, and I have 20 or so left on her.…
  • Same here. Ace for me. I actually managed to get the adept achievement wwhile trying, but not the ritual.
  • Sorry, couldn't hear you over the sound of my rank continiously going up despite me not changing how I play (including camping). And if they make it so you outright can't camp, and are actively punished for it, THAT will actually cause the game to die
  • I've just been waiting for BBQ and chili to pop in. Maybe one day.
  • You should keep your vial progress (as though you lived), bloodpoints your earned during the match, and unless you lost or used up your medkit, you should have kept it.
  • Maybe. I would think they might do a bloodfeast during American Thanksgiving (I know it's different in other countries, like Canada), and certainly one at the winter solstice.

  • @vert3x first of all, "tunnelling" is a good strategy, end of story. Is it fun for the survivor? No, but neither is descisive strike, flashlights, totems getting broken seconds into the match fun for the killer. And I said advertised, not advised. Secondly, if it was something the devs didnt want us to do ever, period,…
  • I hate when stuff like that happens. Especially if you just want to have a fun quick match before wwork etc..
  • I don't think myers is overpowered. Powerful? No argument. I think a big part of it is that he's so flexible that gets people so upset. Scratched mirror myers with M&A? Or infinite tier 3 and tombstone?
  • In a word, no. Camping is literally an intregal part and even an advertised strategy for this game
  • I'm at least tryharding because, surprise, so are the survivors. And most survivors I'm going against are done with the event. I'm not, and I still want both the event items, and the extra bloodpoints. And it REALLY doesn't help that the only killer that has the event offerings is the hag...who I just bought, barely played…
  • Boosted means, essentially, being pushed to ranks higher than you should be at by the level of skill you have. In short, survivors are being boosted by this event, both by farming with killers, and because of the relative ease of at least getting a safety pip if people are focusing on the event. This makes the killer's job…
  • First thought is, they lose a little progress on one emblem, not bloodpoints. And I think kindred is fine as it is. It's a situational perk (since you have to be hook for it to be active) with limited uses (only for the first/second hook). Plus, it can reveal useful information right away, if it's early in the match,…
  • Camping is NOT discouraged, specifically, camping a survivor without another one being nearby (attempting the rescue, etc), is punished very lightly in the ranking system. Don't worry about it, in short. But three best uses of insidious (two I've seen used, the other theoretical), is one, use it to camp a hex that they…
  • That's your experience. And it's usually like that towards the end of the event: people have completed what they wanted in the event, and it's back to business as usual. I honestly haven't seen a single mori the entire event. Usually no offering, or pustula petals from the killer. And honestly, with me and my friends…
  • I don't have it yet (just bought the hag though), but I rarely seeit used. I have a few interesting ideas with it, and this one is now in the pile. One of mine (friend suggested the base), devour with fire up and agitation, scratched mirror myers (ma too of course)
