It isn't at all killer sided, the problem is survivors often don't do gens, they waste time on chests and dull totems, when they get injured many will hide in the corner instead of at the very least moving to safer gen. Team mates make bad decisions like pushing into an unhook in front of a medic, running the killer to a…

I think its because casual minded players simply don't understand how important every second is in DBD. At this point I have given up as team mates constantly sabotage the team for chests and pointless dull totems, getting annoyed is just raising my blood pressure and nothing changed. So my solution? I cant beat them so I…

And how often do you get a flashlight first chest and how many saves do you actually get vs chests searched? Then how many gens could you have completed in the time you wasted? I guarantee that you are sabotaging your team more than helping

It doesn't seem to make sense but it mostly works out, oh and BHVR added a ton more chests which act as slowdown as survivors cant help but sabotage their team by opening chests constantly instead of doing gens.

I think it is more a case of Nurse being broken relative to the skill, or lack thereof, of the average survivor. I mained Nurse for years and I have to say the majority of survivors are absolutely clueless, so much so I actually would get my ass kicked when I faced actual good survivors simply because I became so lazy and…

Yeah this. I would not say I am hardcore but I find winning fun, so I play my best and I play for the team and I do acknowledge it is partially a 'me problem' in that I find the selfishness and stupidity of random team mates very difficult to be patient with in this mode. Either way it is a losing battle really, I have to…

I really hope I don't get you as a team mate! Oh and it isn't about "policing others playstyles" it is the fact it is a team effort and when you contribute nothing of use to your team then it usually results in nobody getting out. When I have teams where everyone slams gens, it is a decisive victory pretty much guaranteed.…

I full believe the chests were put in very intentionally to help killers. I mean sure, you say this but my (of course) anecdotal experience doesn't really match this. I find pretty much every match where team mates are prioritising chests, we lose and are lucky if anyone gets out. In an ideal scenario they save a toolbox…

I feel the complete opposite, 2v8 is incredibly frustrating mostly because I feel that MMR is all but off to ensure fast matchmaking. I find team mates infuriating, more so than regular solo queue and I deeply dislike being double teamed by killers who individually could not down me at all. It doesn't feel like an upgrade…

They just need a ping limit to connect to a match, particularly for killers. I am in OCE but I like to play survivor (and survivor ONLY) on NA servers when it is quiet in my region. My ping is usually ~160ms which is not ideal but still very playable. The downside is I get hit 10 feet through the other side of a window and…

I haven't had an AFK killer but I have had AFK team mates and a couple who DC'd and no joke, the bot that replaced them was more use than they were lol

I have been saying for years that they need to do something about the 'slugging for the 4k' thing, or in this case I guess it is slugging for the 8k. Too often in normal matches I have been left slugged for 4 minutes at the end of a match because a killer slugs for the 4k and my random team mate will rat it out rather than…

Oh I see, well that is disappointing then. I would rather they only notify if they actually took action but oh well…

The worst thing I have had is a Huntress and Wraith who were both on +250ms Ping, that should be illegal imo

Report stuff like that, I was surprised I got a notification action had been taken when I reported a couple of survivors griefing us and the killer (not unhooking, hiding in the basement and taking the game hostage) so they do act on these. I didn't send in footage either but the survivors were not the smartest and…

Agree I do it for the BP but overall I kind of hate this mode tbh. I would like to keep the option to select random perks (like in Chaos Shuffle) in normal matches rather than having to use a 3rd party side to ranomise them for me. But I definitely do not want to see 2v8 any more often than it already is featured

Game is definitely at the most balanced state it has been in its history, though of course it can never truly be balanced as is the nature of an asymmetrical game. It can depend on map, RNG and builds but I feel like at least versus solo queue, the game is killer sided at the lower levels and at the highest level of play I…

Yeah for sure, some matches it feels like most of my team mates are hopeless and go down instantly, heal constantly and make chests a priority over everything else. You must be getting unlucky or something else is going on there, as for me I can play my best and not even get hit but it doesn't matter if most of my team go…

It can go either way, if I get REALLY lucky and get a team who actually do gens then the killers will have a hard match. But lucky for the killers, most matches are probably not that hard as it seems most of my team mates go down instantly and they all seem to love doing chests and dull totems. I swear the devs added to…

You must be getting unlucky or something, as every once in a while I get a team that actually does gens. However most of my random team mates seem to think chests are more important than gens. It is so frustrating, I hate this mode but I play it because of the BP incentive

SHOULD be yes but so many times I see literally nobody on a gen and it is infuriating to me, inefficient is an understatement. I feel that MMR is effectively off as I guess matching 8 survivors has to be far less strict and it really shows. Killers going around the map paired up is a losing strat for sure as they obviously…

For the love of god please no! I hate this mode personally, I only do it because the incentive is large and the queues are faster but I would take standard mode with actual MMR any day. 2v1 is infuriating, team mates are clueless and all the subtle nuances of the game are lost in this mode. Oh and nothing feels worse to me…

I feel very different, I find it frustrating as I am matched with anyone and everyone and team mates clearly have no idea what they are doing a lot of the time. Having skill is not rewarded if the killers double team you, there is no skill involved as a single survivor cant deal with 2 killers unless the killers are…

I am not reading all that but I will say I can totally understand if you have a DC or someone goes next at 5 gens, it is reasonable to want to move on, as a 3v1 at 5 gens is pretty much a lost cause and a waste of time unless the killer is absolutely useless. It does frustrate me when team mates unhook me when the match is…

I actually prefer the normal game mode, I just do 2v8 for the BP incentive and faster queues since more people seem to play it. Getting double teamed by 2 killers who cant individually catch me does not feel good to me personally. It removes a lot of the nuances of play for me but hey, I will just go with it and take the…

Yeah I agree, it is absolutely ridiculous at times. I am an adult, I don't need nannying censorship to hide naughty words for me, unlike many people I can handle offensive words and phrases. Even then, if they have to censor obvious slurs etc then fine, however as we all know, many of the words and phrases that end up…

Honestly I have felt like this event is mostly pointless and I only play that queue as survivor (I rarely play killer at all at present) because it is faster and has the matchmaking bonus more often than the normal queue. I wont complain when its over tbh, not to be a whinger as I will take the free cosmetics etc any time…

Some days on DBD are just awful, on those days I just close the game and play something else. Sometimes I close the game for months at a time

I gave up trying to keep my 100% achievements on Steam with this game because they keep adding DLC. I like to try to get the 100% achievement for games but once I have done them I don't want to have to keep doing it because they keep adding more

I actually tried running it for a specific build I was doing and I think that it is still okay, I got a lot of value out of it and even not being the first in chase due to Lethal can be a game changer too, as you're a less appealing chase compared to someone already hooked so your chances of escaping are a bit higher. If…

I rarely play killer these days but Artist is one of my fav killers to play, she is a bit clunky and I think that can put people off but using aura builds and getting snipes is very satisfying. However I found a lot of survivors absolutely hate her and just give up on hook and while I know that should not stop me from…

The new ability to mori the last survivor has definitely made this worse, I am very sick of being slugged while the killer spends 4 minutes trying to find my random solo queue team mate who refuses to pick me up and just hides it out.

I like to do a Head On followed immediately by a flashbang blind combo lol. In all fairness, the vast majority of killers either just take it on the chin or they even have a good sense of humour about it. However some get VERY upset over this and they will tunnel, camp and bleed me out in retaliation. Which I think is…

Hatch is the problem I agree but hatch isn't going anywhere unfortunately. Which is why I would like the ability to move on rather than have 4 minutes of my time wasted over and over.

Survivors were always bad as most people are casual survivor players, this is nothing new at all. What has happened over the years is maps and the admittedly broken survivor second chance perks have been nerfed hard (most needed to be) so the game is far more killer sided than ever before, even if killers have seen some…

I gotta say, I started in Jan 2019 with just under 5k hours over my accounts (I don't share progress or link to BHVR) that solo queue is pretty rough these days. I would say my escape rate is down to maybe 10% when I am running an efficient solo queue build. Dying 90% of the time started to get a bit depressing and I was…

One thing that made DBD appeal to me was the absence of voice chat, as people being able to speak just opens up so many more possibilities for toxicity and the last thing I want to hear is some 10 year old kid screaming abuse in my ear when I am trying to relax in a game. I sincerely hope they NEVER add voice chat to DBD!!

Yeah I am okay with this, I feel keeping people in matches that are done, especially (as per thread topic) for 4 minutes where they can no longer play the game is not fun or fair. I don't want easy outs, I just don't want my time wasted due to a mechanic killers are playing around.

At the highest level with an experienced and coordinated SWF on comms the game is very much survivor sided, which is why survivors are so limited in perk choices in comp matches. The game used to still be quite survivor sided at the middle level and killer sided at the low end as baby survivors are hopeless at using map…

But why should I have to be reduced to 3 perks to choose from to avoid a crappy game mechanic? Not attacking you for suggesting this but over the years there have been all kinds of ridiculous build suggestions to counter perks/mechanics that ultimately got nerfed/changed

I just want a concede option, I don't care if the killer gets an incentive or whatever, I just don't want to be stuck in a match on the ground for 4 minutes while my team mate waits it out for hatch.

I don't experience that many cheaters (dunno why people calls these fools hackers, they couldn't hack their way out of a paper bag), I have experienced survivors repeatedly accusing of hacks just because they cant seem to understand game sense/experience makes their movements predictable and their likely location obvious.…

I feel like a lot of killers have been sweatier and resorting to unfun tactics even before this event. Which is kinda surprising as I feel like the game is more favourable to killers than it ever has been, the high level is still survivor sided as it always has been but I feel like even with a lot of the broken survivor…

I have been getting 200% on survivor but it doesn't last very long. The incentives do feel a bit less generous lately

As someone who uses ExitLag to play survivor in other regions I don't want high ping banned, at least for survivor. However I do fully acknowledge that playing killer knowing you have high ping is a pretty scummy thing to do, as it most definitely does give an advantage. However as survivor I find when I ExitLag to other…

Bots read your actions and react accordingly which makes them quite unlike a real opponent and not as fun, as you cant mind game a bot which is a big part of the fun of playing against real people. That being said I think the bots are a fantastic tool if you want to learn how to play a killer and to learn their mechanics…

I play for Head On into Flashbang stuns and pulling off Blastmine stuns. I only solo queue (I stopped playing killer entirely as it stresses me out) and current solo queue is tough, I find with the current meta I die maybe 90% of my games despite being an experienced player, with nearly 5k hours between accounts. I stopped…

Yeah I don't understand it, particularly when buffing so many aura perks/addons over the last while. I get why killers find stealth playstyle annoying as survivors who constantly hide can make for boring plays but on the other hand I also get it and I don't feel the need to tell these players how they should enjoy the…

I have used distortion, I know it can be strong and I do know it is also used (or abused?) by survivors who hide rather than interact. That is boring in itself and not fun for killer either… but there has to be a middle ground surely? Well either way it doesn't matter now as they essentially killed Distortion so I guess…

I do find it weird how they completely gutted Distortion but seem to be buffing everything aura for killer. I am not a Distortion user by default, there are far more useful perks, however when I have used it the one thing I did notice is how often you get (or got) value out of it due to the sheer amount of aura perks in…
