Absolutely agreed, this is not camping, I've literally seen survivors hiding near by as I hook, if you dare look for them and don't immediately cross the level you are a camper..... True camping is punishable, even if one survivor might be doomed, but the word gets thrown out for any killer that doesn't run away as soon as…
-
I get that, but stealthy doesn't have to inherently mean you don't help the team. I like a stealthy style and even prefer to play tricksy mind-games mid-chase to lose the killer rather than relying on looping completely. I will not shirk unhooks at all, and these can still be done stealthily, I also defintiely keep an eye…
-
One thing I think I've always found weird is what constitutes true tunneling, not that I don't get it but sometimes I don't think it applies. If someone is hell bent on just removing you and tunnels, truly ignores better options, then that's obviously really annoying. However if I am on the hook, maybe very recently…

It seems lots of comments saying "Netflix won't care, they have plenty of money". Which is true but seems to miss the point, having ST in DbD doesn't seem to me to affect anything, no one is going to buy a ST game because it's the exclusive place to use Steve/Nancy/Demo in a game. Must be that the license had a set time…
-
This whole topic kind of sums up one of the things I find frustrating about the community; it's like people are playing different games, pro loopers and aggressive players complain if anyone doesn't get in the killer's face, they've forgotten what it's like for newer players who are more freaked out and need to hide more.…
-
It can be absolutely horrible, but I still believe that most people are decent, the vocal minority dominate the narrative of this game. SWF red ranks is just an unenjoyable experience, taunting, clicking, and the rest, then they whine about queue times. Really nice to see someone trying it, I wish more people played at…

Good to have humour on aspects of the game, this doesn’t play, I’m all for humour but this does cross that line and kind of disappoints.
-
I would love post game chat, has been surprisingly positive with same system people recently. Mostly I just want to explain something and it’s not people being toxic to each other. Should definitely be a thing
-
Yea, my issue is even before understanding what this means as someone who has never really played trapped. Why is this blocking the killer only route to the end? I will play the survivor stuff but man, I love these challenges and the tree, but then so many odd decisions made in it.
-
That's a different aspect, again the devs will have to account for people's internet issues, happens to everyone at some point. Of course if it happens repeatedly soon after each other then either yes you shouldn't be playing at that moment because you are going to keep ruining others' games or they are just shutting down…
-
The stream said "Boon Totem Perks will give a brand new interaction to survivors standing next to a Dull Totem in a trial". Interaction; So it has to be a perk that allows you to activate a dull totem into a boon totem, granting you your perk. So I don't think it will automatically activate, and I don't think it's…
-
They aren't the same. Visionary helps you find gens near you. Deja Vu shows the three that are closest to each other, not you. It's a good idea to get gens that are close to each other done, because if you need one last gen at the end and all 3 are together the killer can easily patrol them and keep you from finishing.
-
I think balanced landing can activate without the height being enough for the challenge. Dead Dawg Saloon also a great level for it, either inside the saloon or off the balcony is definitely good enough, did the challenge last night.
-
Also imagine if it does work well, and those that DC selfishly and ruin other people's experience actually got punished as they deserve. OP is correct, let's see how it works before flipping out, if it's exploitable it will indeed be terrible, but they will have factored that in. Personally I am all for a system which…

Bad or good? I have no reference as that's who I am playing anyway. Seems to vary quite a bit to me, though I suppose it's not often you face a sweaty 4 man that runs the rule over you, but damn do you remember those ones.
-
Yup, I don't even use Twitter really, but check this every so often. Always sorts it easily, though info on expiration is pretty unknown normally it seems so best to get it done as soon as possible. A shame that the anniversary codes expired so quickly, have managed to get a couple of mates into the game, they could…
-
Absolutely, you never know when your message might be restoring their faith in the community after possibly receiving absolute vile for previous games. Not sure which console you are on, but on Xbox the messages won't go into their normal Chat inbox unless they know you, so sometimes that could be the reason for the lack…
-
It's not quite correct to say it wasn't accepted, they actually didn't identify sexuality in the way we do in modern times, the genders were irrelevant. It was active/passive roles linked to status and age, and they were very wrong by modern standards but not due to the gender of your partner; men with young boys, adult…
-
That is somewhat ignoring my point. You are assuming it will be implemented badly, as that is an assumption and not confirmed it seems pointless to me for people to flip out. Once it is implemented we will know if it is done well, if it can be exploited then obviously it is a bad thing, but we simply don't know. So why not…
-
That's quite the over generalisation in my view, do you only play killer?
-
I would guess it's unfortunately just about the next chapter DLC. If it was Resident Evil related and big they would probably have showed it because they generate more hype and had a keen audience there watching. I think if it is related it's likely only cosmetics. Would be very happy to be wrong and it's actually…
-
It isn't just this game, it's common on any social media, vocal minority of morons. When a sports team changes their pic to support pride you see horrifically ignorant comments, almost makes you ashamed to support the same team, before remembering these people are simply narrow-minded intolerant #########. If anything it…
-
Yea I agree with the other comments; why DC even at the end? You are affecting the fun of both the killer and the other survivors. Because you aren't there you are reducing the chances for the other survivors even if it's minimal. You also could likely affect someone's challenges/daily rituals, there's just no need. Any DC…
-
I like the look of the perks in general, maybe they aren't the best ever but should be fun. Mainly I am happy it's Leon, and Nemesis as he seems interesting. For anyone who is playing the PTB; Can Leon do multiple flashbangs per trial? I would assume so after getting another 50% done, but thought I would check. Cheers
-
We have no idea how it will work yet it's already going to kill the game? If it is exploitable then they will have messed it up and will revise it or scrap it completely. Why not wait to see how it works before jumping to extremes. If it leads to people who selfishly DC then I am all for it, the current system does nothing.
-
Yes, but they didn't elaborate. We do not know the conditions needed for a ban. So the hysteria is unwarranted at the moment. If it is implemented and leads to unfair bans then everyone will be up in arms and it will be revised or scrapped. They will have of course seen the potential for exploitation and presumably planned…
-
What? I am saying the current "system" does nothing. I am not sure you understood my previous comment properly. Not having a way to punish those that do deserve bans is not a good thing, they have announced they are trying to fix that. If that leads to unwarranted bans then all would agree it's a bad thing, but we have no…
-
Well said, why not wait to see how it is implemented? If it is done badly and leads to undeserved bans then people can flip out as much as they like. The current report system does nothing clearly, and it's not a good thing, if someone is ruining the game for others with DCs repeatedly then they deserve a ban.
-
Do we know how long it will be in run-time?

Not sure Quentin is even in the game if being honest. For Killer I'd say Clown.
-
Leon Nemesis Not even sure which killer I dislike the most, probably Hag, barely have used her so will be a good excuse....though I hope not needed.
-
I am actually a bit more intrigued by the line "novel ways to sacrifice or survive inspired by the renowned franchise", maybe it's nothing big but could be a new mechanic which would be interesting. Otherwise I am hoping for Leon, and for killer Nemesis but also fine Mr X or even Wesker.
-
Never face camp is definitely my primary rule. If you are clearly newish or just bad then I almost always let at least one person go. Also let good players go if it was a fun and competitive match, challenge dependant though. On survivor side it would be great to have a universally understood meaning for the arm movement…

PR = public relations. As in the press release could just be using words to hype up the announcement, not necessarily thinking "well if we say iconic, then it has to be someone from the old games" Don't get me wrong, I'd rather they are from older ones as I don't have RE Village but I think the focus on the word "iconic"…
-
Why can't it be SWF with crossplay? Can have someone on PC, PS, Xbox, and all be chatting through Discord.
-
Are they saying she's iconic? Or simply saying it can still be her despite the use of that word in the press release. Because those are quite different things. I don't think the use of "iconic" is as clear an indicator as others' do, it just looks like PR talk to me.
-
Personally I am hoping for Leon and fine with any of Nemesis/Mr X/Wesker even. However I think the debate about the use of "iconic" has gotten a bit warped, yes it does imply someone who is an icon of the series, so not Lady D, but also it's a press release and can easily just be PR hyperbole. So I wouldn't read too much…
-
I am pretty sure it makes a noise when first spawning, but it's map wide so no indication that it's close, the next sounds are when it moves which happens every so often in the EGC.
-
Yea it can be very frustrating when you get a run of being matched with people who have way more experience. Just try and keep chill, maybe take a break from the game for a little bit. I also know how irritating some players can be, gloating is very common as you match lower ranks. Nothing really to be done about it, if…
-
Exactly, that's not tunneling and if I blame anyone it's my teammate doing the unsafe unhook. People throw tunneling out for anytime the killer re-hooks them quickly, even if they played badly. Camping is rubbish in my opinion, you are just gifting loads of time to the other survivors to do gens.
-
Out of interest how do you agree to farm with survivors? Is this easier to coordinate on PC? I don't like the idea of this but I suppose to get an absurdly annoying challenge I would.
-
Camping I just don't understand, and trolling is obviously by definition a crappy way to play, never face-camp as it's a bad strategy and fun for no one. True tunneling is very rare, people complain about tunneling when two survivors are running from the hook and the killer chooses the injured one, that's not tunneling.…
-
I think this is a very good point. There's also a "celebrity" fandom aspect, they won't want their favourite player to have messed up, just as fans of sports teams aren't unbiased about their own team's defects. This would naturally breed excuse making which then filters through to their play. Playing both sides a good…
-
Something I have been curious about since starting this game is tunneling and what it is actually defined as. I have always thought it is fully ignoring more logical choices to hunt down and eliminate one particular survivor. Which of course sucks for that survivor. However people seem to throw it around anytime a killer…
-
Seems terrible design as everyone is saying. Shouldn't force people to play in bad ways. What would be wrong with just making it once per trial, it's still a fun challenge and might happen whilst playing normally.
-
Ah fair enough, sorry for the misunderstanding. That is frustrating, some poor teammates then. Hopefully they learned from it and someone won't be left to die in the future.
-
I am still relatively new, early 2020, but I would definitely go back to darker levels. It seems basically unfair when playing killer that I can see people through any line of sight from miles away. As survivor I also love pulling some sneaky play mid-chase when they lose sight and you can double back and trick them, which…
-
When I started I played Doctor almost exclusively, it's very easy to find people and especially if you lose someone mid-chase with static blast. Basically guaranteed that the first gen you find which has been worked on you just fire it off, either it shows you where they are close by or if nothing then check the most…
