Killer Klowns from Outer Space :D

Let me clarify, on top of the new ruin changes thats in the PTB.

At least a time out penalty will prevent them from immediately jumping into the next game only to disconnect again and again. We've needed disconnect penalties for a while now. Sure, players could still suicide on hook, but the killer still has to carry them to a hook which will buy the rest of the survivors still trying…

I certainly wouldn’t mind a shirtless Myers, where do I sign up? :D

They COULD do someone in a Good Guy outfit though, sorta a life sized Chucky doll with a little habit of sacrificing survivors for the Entity in his spare time ;)

Its still on steam

Maybe it is derped then. It only stunned me when I was just about to open the locker. If I stood further away from the locker I never got stunned.

You have to use the ability right when they open the locker or it won’t work. I tested this in a Kill Your Friends match. It works, but the killer has to be just about to open the locker. One of those your timing has to be right things.

On the flip side though- there is only a limited amount of time with the traps anyway so I think death is inevitable regardless

Raises a good point tho. If the pig gets lucky to find the hatch right below a hooked survivor and closes it, just patrolling the jigsaw boxes will ensure the bear trapped survivor’s death.

Scream would be an amazing addition to this game if it ever did happen. I hope they can acquire the license for it cause that would be an immediate purchase :D

Discussions are wonderful. Discussions can lead to some great brainstorming and balancing and solution finding. Unfortunately there are too many who are quick to jump to the “Congrats you’ve ruined your game” and “I’m done” posts.

Personally I’ve gotten my money’s worth and then some with this game, both as survivor and killer. Wish folks understood changes and fixes aren’t instantaneous.

Might need to confirm, but I think somewhere in the ToU they also state they have the right to change said terms for any reason? I can’t be sure though. Always heard it that way.

The devs have mentioned they were aware of the disconnects and are working on it. I know ever since the Legion and Plague updates, there’s been a lot of unintentional disconnects followed by a fury of rage disconnects. All we can do is wait for a fix, which is hopefully soon. Patience :)

I wasn’t aware these changes were already in the PTB to confirm the death of The Legion. Maybe try out the changes first before announcing a killer’s death :P As the devs stared before time and again, it’s not always set in stone

Self care is one of my must haves, though I am starting to take med kits with me lately and I’ve found I’m using self care less and less. However, on the rare occasion I get a killer with Franklins? I’d really miss having that self care lol. I think the need for it also varies on if a friend is with you or if you’re with a…

This would be a fantastic idea.

Oh wow it’s all shiny

If you’re getting camped the killer loses out on points because your teammates could be working on gens and getting them done while he wastes precious time looking at your lovely face on that hook. Sometimes they realize it isn’t worth it to camp and will leave you alone and maybe someone could rescue you. By staying in…

I know franklins can reduce the charge on items when they’re dropped, it’s very possible it just “broke” it instead

I see no issue with folks uninstalling the game cause they disconnected and got punished for it. Punishment is a learning tool, if you don’t learn your lessons then maybe they shouldn’t be playing in the first place, leaving room in the lobbies for folks who are worth keeping around.

I think the first dc should be like 10 minute wait, then add a multiplier each time it happens within a 24 hour period. 2nd time becomes 20 minutes 3rd becomes 40 and so on too many in a 24 hour period could be a soft ban of 24 hours. Two soft bans in a week could become more serious/longer ban

Haddonfield, because Halloween was a fantastic movie. Plus the houses are a nice and interesting change. Game Plant is a close second cause I love the whole 2 level building.

Honestly feel the game should be more score based rather than ranking. Would be easier to punish disconnects without harshly punishing those who disconnect due to a bug, or losing their internet. Devs could even tier that with a multiplier for constant disconnects. Would be my idea for a pip solution.

That would be far too easy, and too easily exploitable. Maybe a small quitter bonus at the end for survivor, killers already have one. I personally rather the small bloodpoints I do get rather than a disconnect 0, even if the match is stacked against me. But then there’s the whole Pip Issue you gotta deal with at the end.…

If killers get something then the survivors who actually stick around should get a little something too. They’re the ones that still have to get gens done a man (or two) down. Fairness.

Theres a lot more potential with dedicated servers, potential that could help a lot with unintentional disconnects as well as intentional.

Dedicated servers come out this summer, hopefully both the bugs and the intential disconnects will have some form of a solution by then. Welcome to Dead by Daylight!! Just hang in there, cause the game can be quite fun.

Justin Bieber. 100%

Hurts your teammates more than the killer as it’s just free quitter bonus points for killers.

Justin Bieber.

Was about to say, it sounded like unconfirmed fools nonsense. Woulda seen it somewhere before now if it were true.

Even the infamous loading screen disconnect seems worse since the last patch.

Where did this info come from?? I haven’t heard of this.

Same here. This bug is annoying

I always take Spies from the Shadows when I play as Freddy. Helps a lot :D But the best defense against Freddy really is self care. Missing those skill checks while healing means he has to pull you into the dream world. It’s not terribly hard to lose him if you hide somewhere within heartbeat range and heal.

It does seem to be getting worse, the bug and the intentional disconnects. I just hope there’s a population left by the time dedicated comes out.

It’s definitely a weird bug. It shows it’s the killer disconnecting on my screen, I even keep any item I found in the match plus the bloodpoints I’ve earned but to everyone else I was the one that disconnected.

I believe the devs can tell the difference between an intentional disconnect and disconnecting due to the bug. From my understanding the latest patch is what brought on the recent random disconnect bug. I much prefer the loading screen disconnect over the random ones cause at least the gens remaining go down :(

If you’re not getting into a lobby, try backing out and trying again. Sometimes I’ve noticed the lobby gets stuck

Obvious intentional disconnects are the worst.

Nods. I just want to play the game. Any points is better than no points so I don’t understand the intentional disconnects.

There is also a bug going around disconnecting people randomly, so some folks can’t stay in game.

I dunno, I feel Plague is the most balanced killer of the bunch (if you exclude some of the bugs that came with her) She’s neither OP or Weak in my experience, as I’ve encountered some Plagues who have slaughtered us pretty viciously, but I’ve also encountered some we’ve won against easily. All depends on how she’s played…

Usually if I learn all the perks I can, when I unlock a new perk it’s the first thing that pops up on my bloodweb.

Just unlock all the perks you can and it will eventually pop up.

Heck yeah I’m going to buy him. Love Bruce, Evil Dead, and this game.

They changed the way you pip now. You can read their changes in the patch notes

You forgot to include the shiny new Disconnect perk :P
