Proxy camping counters it. Reassurance isn't doing much if they're waiting to unhook because that's still 2 survivors not doing anything. It's only a strong perk at the highest of levels.
-
You're definitely too old to be caring so much about what someone says in the post-game chat that you needed to screenshot it and make a forum topic about it. Unless your job requires a public persona, you really should stop caring about what random people think about you sometime in your 20s.
-
Lockers are everywhere. Once you've played a map a few times, you can always find one immediately when you need one. I guess maybe they could add one since they've got everything else covered, but it would be useless for 99% of the playerbase.
-
I absolutely agree. Selfish d-bags are going to ruin the game for other people no matter what. No DC penalty means there will be less people killing themselves on hook and/or actively trying to ruin the game. I can win a game with a bot or two. Can't do much when someone immediately makes the game a 3v1 or 3v2.
-
It's already borderline busted at 60. You're supposed to be stealth genning for the 60, and It also activates from finishing a heal. So if you're coordinated, you can just tap someone at a 99 heal to get it activated.
-
Clean Break is really, really strong if you're in a SWF.
-
Your last sentence doesn't work because you don't seem to understand that they can't make everyone happy.
-
How would you play the new killers and rock the new fits in your scenario?
-
It's not different at all. They're never going to just killswitch a character indefinitely until they figure out a rework, just like McDonald's is never going to replace their meat with bugs, just like no one is going tell the customer to F-off and take it up with the manufacturer. You're making up nonsensical scenarios…
-
Your nonsensical hypotheticals aren't relevant at all to this conversation. If McDonald's replaced all their meat with fried bugs, it would be bad for business. It's also something that's never going to happen.
-
Even if there was any legal standing for demanding a refund, which there isn't, there is no way that the amount of time and effort required to go through a legal process is worth the $5 you'd get back. Live service games also aren't a new thing. That's what the live means. They're going to change the game and content you…
-
Exultation has been good to build back up my stack of iri maps, but that's really the most use you're going to get out of any of them.
-
What are you considering toxic behaviour? Are you just overreacting to someone pressing control a couple of times? The vast majority of the community is just looking to have fun. I play a lot of DBD and encounter truly toxic gamers maybe once or twice a month. Of course, that number will increase if you're hard camping and…
-
Lots of ways to have fun in the game if you're not so focused on tying your fun to wins and losses. Survivors are also rarely toxic unless you're camping and tunneling. If you're trying a fun build, most of the time they'll play along. You obviously aren't having a good time with the game. Why not for something else to do…
-
If everything works for you on Xbox, it'll be fine. But what possible reason could you have to delete your Steam account?
-
It does if the killer queues are 15 minutes. If people want 2v8 to be permanent, they need to find a way not to kill 1v4.
-
No. There is a 150% bonus for survivors in both modes.
-
I'm not sure you know what the word competitive means. DBD has two completely different sides competing against each other. It's the very definition of competitive. There's nothing about the word that implies parity. How can you say it's not a competitive game when the modes have a V in them? Do you know what the V stands…
-
It would be a useful perk if it didn't take up a perk slot. None of the hexes are really worth taking up two slots, especially when they could still cleanse both of them minutes into a game. I think they should just make undying an innate ability to all hex perks since they're so hit-and-miss and not really that strong.
-
I'm pretty sure they'd lose the most hardcore of their fanbase if they made it permanent. It's popular because it's a goofy party mode where you don't have to think. It removes like 95% of what makes DBD enjoyable at high-level play. It was fun for a week, but it's mind numbing now. 1v4 is basically unplayable with 2v8…
-
It kinda sounds like you went to someone's stream and said some awful things. Behaviour will never punish you for something you didn't do because they need proof that you did something wrong. It takes more than just someone clicking the report button to get banned.
-
Are you going out of your way to get chased? As long as you have 2 to 3 survivors in your game that understand the gens need to get done, it's pretty easy to escape more often than not. It's definitely a survivor-sided mode. The survivor perks are quite OP if you have competent players.
-
How is it an awful mode for survivors? The regular mode also has limited play options for survivors. The only thing you can't do in 2v8 is flashlight saves, but the class system is a fun change up. There's a lot more going on and you have far more options than the regular mode. I don't see how anyone can enjoy the regular…
-
Have you even played 2v8 yet? I've been playing all afternoon, and it's heavily survivor-sided. Almost every game has been 6+ out. Do you have an offensive name that's getting killers to go out of their way to tunnel you? It's extremely detrimental to the killers to try and tunnel someone in the mode.
-
You're only talking about newer and bad players though. It's really easy to tell when someone is being camped. It's also not that difficult to figure out the general area the killer is in. Breaking a 3-gen should be on survivors' minds in every game. We're given all the information we need to succeed in the HUD. The only…
-
Judging by your comments in this thread, there's a zero percent chance you've ever gone against a group of survivors using the clock system for callouts. 99% of survivor players aren't at that level. It takes way too much work and practice to be able use it effectively and you're not getting matched against those players.
-
That's the point. You're not supposed to chase with carnifex. And there are significant enough differences between the jailer and assassin. Assassin is better for when you're actually chasing someone and can plop it down on top of them. Jailer is more about longer paths and controlling an area.
-
Is your goal to get people to quit playing DBD? Why would you ever make it a worse experience to play with your friends? There is nothing to do to buff solo queue besides letting us see everyone's builds. When they updated the UI to let us see what everyone is doing, it gave us 90% of the information we need to be…
-
What exactly do you mean it gets downplayed a lot? Obviously playing with your buds is a more enjoyable experience and it's brought up all the time.
-
How do you know it's a problem that you and your friends are facing. You have no way to know if you're against a team. I've had killers complain so many times about SWF nonsense in post game chat when we were all solos. It's really not that hard to coordinate with other solo players if you're paying attention. It's also…
-
Would that be a bad thing? I'd much rather to have players DCing every other game than what usually happens with players killing themselves on hook.
-
Both of your takes are wrong. The mage hand nerf is actually a buff against good survivors. The addon already shows that because by lifting pallets faster, survivors are able to drop the pallet to stun Vecna. Having to crouch only counters the power against bad Vecnas. You slow down when you crouch and lose distance. A…
-
Just another case of the general public having no clue about what goes into making games and just assuming that everyone is involved in everything. In no way does having a consultant program make the Fog Whisperers useless or meaningless. Fog Whisperers promote the game. That's it. There are plenty of Fog Whisperers who…
-
They desperately need to add a way to see what your perks do. There are way too many perks and you wouldn't want to use 75% of them in a normal game. I have no idea what a lot of the perks even do when I get them. I'd be shocked if 5% of the playerbase could pick out leverage from the icon and explain what it does. Lots of…
-
Are you looking for real life explanation? A big enough shock will make you lose control of your body so you wouldn't be able to jump into a hatch. In video game reality, it fits with the logic of the game.
-
No. The game is in a pretty good spot right now. Probably the most balanced it's ever been. Gamers just want to complain. Solo queue is also fine. I escape more often than not, and they already buffed it with the UI indicators. All they need to do is let us see everyone's build and it'll be perfect.
-
Blight is only stronger because he's 115. Spirit's power is stronger and if she was a 115, she'd have the top spot.
-
How do you know AFK survivors are being penalized? You can report survivors and killers after the game for being AFK and that should theoretically lead to a penalty if they're reported enough. I've never heard about anyone penalized for going AFK though.
-
Demo with Lifeguard Whistle and Resin is really effective against uncoordinated and/or teams, but most competent survivors figure it out pretty quickly and can play around it. It's one of the few ways you can actually get value out of Devour.
-
That's not the issue, and it's not what's getting fixed. You'll still be able to do that. You won't be able to do it indefinitely so the killer can never go interact with it again. It's also stronger than it sounds and will hinder survivors in most situations. You're basically keeping Ruin on the gen. It'll take longer to…
-
Well, if you're winning with M1 killers and understand the meta aspects, it shouldn't take that long to learn Billy. He's not that different. Spend a couple of nights grinding with him to figure out his chansaw and you should be competent with him.
-
If you're losing the majority of your matches just from switching killers, it means you don't really know how to play DBD as killer. I'm guessing you only play Nurse and/or Blight. Start with a basic M1 killer like Wraith and actually learn how the game works. After that, it's pretty straight forward to move between…
-
It's not really a compromise since it heavily favours killers. Adding the limit without buffing killers would have been perfectly fine.
-
You won't come close to regressing a single gen 8 times if you're playing normally. Go play ten games and report back how many times the 8 regressions would have come into play. The number is going to be zero unless your normal playstyle is to stay at one gen and kick it over and over again or you're hard camping à three…
-
It's crazy to say they're only taking stuff from killers to appease survivors. It's a pretty significant buff to killers. They're doubling the regression you get from kicking a gen and getting rid of gen tapping. Both are pretty huge and potentially affect every game. Eight regression events on a gen is a lot and will…
-
What you're asking for is already included.
-
It's not that tricky. Run away from the three gen. She only has a limited number of drones and can't have them everywhere. She's also probably going to be holding on to one or two. She can't have a drone army around all the paths away from three gens. There are no free hits if you're holding w. If she chases you across the…
-
I'm not really sure what you're saying, but if you aren't finding time to do gens because you're busy doing something else, that's fine. If you aren't finding time to do gens because you need to crouch in the corner just in case, that's not so fine. If you're good at chase, having the killer chase you is the best thing you…
-
It sounds like you just don't really know what to do. It's really easy to break a three gen against any killer who is protecting three gens from the start. You sit on a gen and run away when you see her coming. That's it. If she chases you, everyone else is doing a gen and you win. If she doesn't chase you, go back to the…
