  • Even with the buffs, I found killer to be much easier. I never got below a 3k in any killer match, but solo queue survivor is a struggle. If you know the layout of the maps to keep obstacles in your way and listen for survivors you can potentially get a gen grab or at least close enough for a hit. The killer you pick may…
  • I'm not a fan of where they put the cosmetics. I tried to give it time to see if it's something I would get used to it, but selecting them is really not intuitive with this interface. Even after this long I pause to remember where it's at instead of just clicking into the cosmetics screen.
  • I know I was only playing survivor in 2v8 for the bloodpoint bonus, with fast games it was a real easy way to get a ton of bloodpoints. Oh well, back to 1v4 it is for me!
  • This happens in other maps and the normal game as well. That one in particular seems to be the buggiest, I'm surprised it hasn't been kill switched.
  • It's still the solo queue experience except now you get to rage at 7 people not doing gens. I keep flipping between healer and gen jockey as one game it's people not touching gens and then the next it's people not going for hook saves. I figure it's people getting used to the mode and trying to work through the challenges.
    in 8 survivors Comment by Jareth July 26
  • This, please! I don't remember seeing the ad that's talked about here (maybe I hid it right away?), but having a loud start up movie auto play right away has annoyed me for so long!
  • A new email was sent out with a different code and that worked for me.
  • Same issue here, got the code in the newsletter but it says it's invalid when trying to redeem in game.
  • I also had this happen but not on Chaos Shuffle. It was a normal game and all of my perks were removed once I was in the game. After the game I double checked my perks and they were there on the normal perk selection screen. I had the Bloody Rewards archive challenge (get 100k bp).
  • There's an achievement tied to finishing this gen so some people are going to want to finish it for that.
  • Getting the first person hooked out of the game quickly is pretty common these days. They may have targeted you for the last second switch but it's just as likely you got the short straw that game.
  • I had this unlock as well against a Billy. I was the only Alan Wake in the game and the killer was nowhere near me. It gave me a notification of the progress when he hit a survivor with his chainsaw the first two times.
  • Sometimes you just need to practice with a killer to get a feel for them to get adept. Usually on release I find it easier to get it since survivors are getting used to the killer too. With Chucky I was having a hard time so stopped trying and played with normal perks to remove the frustration. When I felt more confident…
  • While I don't have a problem with huntress overall, I can't stand that different hum she has with the legendary skin. The sound of it gets on my nerves so much and I really dislike going against that skin.
  • Seems more luck based, but just keep feeding the ghosts so they appear in the normal game. It's probably easier as a killer since there's 4 people to run into it and you can try to direct them towards the ghosts (they show up as white). They also don't need to directly hit it, getting close will collect it. I lucked out as…
  • It doesn't seem to be as useful for killer as it does for survivor. Unless you want bloodpoints, because you can get a decent amount by messing with the event stuff. I end up using it much more as a survivor. The best I had was being camped by a nurse, I kobe, take a base bt hit, run into the void, get lucky enough to…
  • Just a heads up that there's already an issue opened - https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/394580/plagues-puke-hits-invisible-objects
  • Same on Steam, I have 8 unlocked and 0 points. Restarting the game after unlocking items did not fix it.
  • This is bugged for me as well on PC. Playing Xenomorph and had 2 basement hooks but the progress says 0.
  • Blight - He has such busted addons it's not even worth the effort for the measly amount of bp you'll get out of it. Wesker - I used to not mind him until it was just wesker after wesker after wesker games. Between that and it feels like a good number of them camp, tunnel, etc. Playing against him is exhausting lately.…
  • Probably the biggest thing I miss from the old days would be the general attitude and community feeling. Back in 2016/2017 you ran across the same people pretty often and the general attitude seemed to be more positive. It was way more common for killers to give hatch for the last survivor, or have a survivor offer a kill…
  • I'm sick of going against him, but not so much for his power. He seems to attract people who tunnel, camp, and just play in a miserable way. Win or lose, many games just end up being somewhere between annoying and frustrating due to that.
  • Looks like you can get the charm just by picking up the genmat as a survivor. Was killed after the gates were powered and it unlocked for me.
  • This used to be possible before dedicated servers. If you had 4 friends just switch your steam region to some place in the middle of nowhere, queue up at the same time and you'd get into games together. We used to do it when we had 5 people and still wanted to earn bloodpoints (the grind was waaaay more real then). It's…
  • Not the hardest, but I just finished the last achievement I needed - Outbreak Breakout. That one is a pain because trying to make it to end game as a solo survivor on RPD is not easy. I just kept burning RPD offerings and used Wake Up to finally finish it off. The last game was down to me as the last survivor, killer…
  • It's been a bit since I've run across a streamer I'd recognize, but it was much more common years ago and you could run into them game after game. The ones I remember playing with/against are OhTofu, Umbra, Ralph (when he was RalphFromTheSouth), Zubat, Angrypug, Monto and his girlfriend, EdgarAlanBro, TricksterShadow,…
  • Are you playing on steam? If so you can View Players after a match and see everyone that was in that match who was also playing on steam.
  • Puppers has always came off as a genuinely nice guy. He also seemed to enjoy playing the game and had such a positive attitude. Nice to see them do this for him.
  • Things seem buggy since 6.3 dropped. I've had quite a few crashes when normally that's extremely rare. I also get lag only as killer where I'll start jumping around due to it being so bad. No speed issues with my internet and switching to survivor fixes it. So I wouldn't necessarily assume this is hacking and would think…
  • I personally haven't noticed a huge uptick in dc's, it's probably higher but still a minority of games for me. What I would be interested in is seeing how many people are throwing (afk killer, suicide on hook, etc.) now vs dcing. If someone wants to ruin a game dcing isn't the only option, it's just the quickest without…
  • It actually seems easy. Played a quick survivor game to check it out and just worked on gens then I could see the rift's aura. Ran over and deposited and got my cosmetic after the game. Unless you get tunneled out of a game it's not really that much effort and people shouldn't need to throw a game for it.
  • Had it crash on me playing as killer on Steam as well. Once the penalty cooldown went away I played survivor, then had 3 killers in a row DC randomly. None were doing bad so it felt really odd for them to randomly quit like that. For my issue I was Bubba on Garden of Joy. It crashed when I tried vaulting the window in the…
  • I remember 3x blood point weekend when Bloody Party Streamers were common rarity. Killers and survivors united for a weekend of love and farming.
  • I had the same thoughts while voting. I tried to go for the most even sided maps, but I'd rather it just not happen. Not looking forward to Dead Dawg after Dead Dawg again.
  • I don't think any survivor achievement is overly difficult but some are grindy or make you play differently. Looking at Power Moves, I had it unlocked 3 days after the chapter was released. It's probably one of the most relatively difficult for survivor but I wouldn't say getting it is that difficult. Killer achievements…
  • I learned about this feature a few days ago when I took a protection hit for someone at the exit gate. I was so confused as to why the gate was blocked and for how long it would be like that so I started running away and was killed. After the game the killer told me about it so now I'm at least aware of it. Maybe even a…
  • I get it about 50% or more of the time now and it's still not a fun map to play on. Between that and the tons of people playing Wesker it's just getting old already.
  • The buildings can be a pain to deal with, but you can get some easy 3 gens on that map. I found that the main building with basement tends to be the best because often times you can have two gens within eyesight of each other outside then another not far away. If you focus on that and not waste a bunch of time chasing…
  • That button used to exist actually. I remember being really annoyed when they removed that because while a small thing was just nice to have.
  • Based on the sample size of the 4 wraiths I just faced, there is a 100% chance of camping.
  • Been a PC gamer for a long time so it's really second nature to play like that. I've actually tried playing DBD with a controller and find it to be slower and more clunky than using a KBM. Back when FPS games started showing up on consoles, I couldn't stand using a controller for things like FPS games. Over time I learned…
  • The environmental collision issues make playing Bubba on this level such a headache. Every time I'm on this I run into a hidden twig multiple times per game and go into a tantrum. That mixed with the main building make me just want to give up as soon as I load in.
  • I don't think it's possible. I have all killers but two and only two survivors at P3 with all perks. I'm at devotion 15 and have played this game since before that was a thing. Even if you ignore prestige it doesn't seem likely to be able to get all perks on every character.
  • It was also a good time to clean up on the survivor challenges in the rift. Had no problems getting the Any Means Necessary and Breakout ones since MMR thought I should be paired with rank 20 killers with only 1 or 2 perks. As a note, I do realize rank wasn't supposed to matter but these people played like baby killers.
  • Fun times back in that first winter. Killers could equip other killers equipment, like chainsaw myers. They could also equip survivor perks, so good luck trying to get away from a killer with bond.
  • No, that just let's you rev longer before you tantrum and you would still see him rev. What you describe sounds like an insta-saw and that's not possible. I wonder if it's a bug where you don't see him rev on your screen even though he was?
  • All of them. Whenever new ones get released I work on getting those. There's only a couple that are a pain (Evil Incarnate is probably the worst), but otherwise it's just grinding them until they're done.
  • Do you get the DC penalty when you get booted out? Are there still issues with lobbies getting shut down? It's been painful enough to play survivor when you constantly get kicked out of lobbies, now getting kicked out of the game makes it even worse.
  • When I play survivor it's always solo and the first day saw the error only a few times. The next day it was every time I tried to play as survivor (probably 8x total). I also got the error as killer, but only 2x. For me the survivor queues are about 5 min while killer is instant, so I gave up even trying survivor.
  • Seems like the general lobby errors that are happening since the patch yesterday. I can't even get into a survivor match anymore due to the lobby errors. Killer seems to work 90% of the time, but even then the queue is way shorter so it's not a big deal to get right back in.
