Honestly, the biggest problem with all of this is just queue times. Solve that, and having a bad match won't be a big deal. My friends play Fortnite a lot too, and we have bad games all the time. The difference is that it didn't take forever to get into the match. Waiting to die out, hang on the hook, friends to finish the…

As I've seen in other threads, this change is set to severely hurt less skilled players. The fact that queue times went sky high since it's started is a sign of that. Yes, some "gud" killers don't care but there are a whole lot of casual players that aren't interested in learning every loop, god pallet locations etc. In a…

A whole lot of people aren't playing killer this weekend. Expect queue times to be long.

What sort of system are you running it on? For me it was terrible... major input delay, especially with the mouse on Chrome on a MS SurfaceBook2. When on Chromecast on TV there was still delay, especially with skill checks. The skill check clock was microscopic on my 65" 4k tv.

I'd been meaning to submit that to the bugs for a while now. Its all kinds of messed up there, since I couldn't wiggle or anything after he picked me up.

When?

Why have you spent 3,230 hours doing an activity you do not find enjoyable, nor get paid to do?

How about his secondary action is to blow up a balloon and attach it to the gen. He can pop the balloon trigger it to pop from afar, or a failed skill check on that gen pops it. Has same effect as his normal gas, and makes survivors scream. Survivors can untie the balloon to have it float away, but it takes time. Add-ons…

I would play a lot of DbD on Stadia if I could take my PS4 progress with it... (Well, and if it worked better on Stadia but they'll get that ironed out eventually) Cross progress between all the systems of play would be amazing. Own a PS4 but switching to XBox this generation? No problem. Going on a business trip, but…

Doesn't work on Stadia... "This code cannot be redeemed on your current platform." Boo.

I'm sure this has already been said, but clearly the mistake was not slugging everyone. Everyone likes that, right?

A lot of people are finding slugging more effective. Healing a survivor takes more time and triggers Nurses calling to find survivors. After everyone is slugged, hook them. I can't say I completely disagree that its an effective strategy, and that sucks.

I'm genuinely surprised at the feedback here. And yes, a lot of the problem here is with SWF, its also with match making. If match making paired people up evenly this wouldn't even be a discussion, games wouldn't be so incredibly unfair. But the fact is, right now, they are, especially for mid and low rank killers who…

I don't think the new system will work. I think they've just screwed up the killer experience so much that no one wants to play it, so the survivor queue times are either forever or they have to pit people against survivors way out of their league. I just uninstalled the game again tonight after 4 games on a row as a rank…

I mean, they were terrible teammates and I'd report them. I don't quite understand what the killer did here. To be honest even this crap wouldn't bother me so much if queue times weren't so long. It's like one game in 50 this really happens to me, but they tend to stand out because it's just such a bad experience. But…

Woah son, calm down, and ease off those triggered fingers. There's a lot unpack here... 1.) It is my opinion. Thanks, Dude. I'm not speaking on behalf of anyone. I sure hope you don't need everyone to start their posts with "This is just my opinion..." in order for you to assume they're somehow speaking for someone else...…

The original post and so many of these responses are just terrible... "Meming" = bullying a killer or making his experience less fun? Your being an ######### because the opposing player chose a particular killer. Just play the game. Use good sportsmanship, and while you don't need to actively care about making the other…

Gatekeeper is how many gens are done or not done? Trying to stop gens is so pointless. Maybe if they greatly increased the damage kicking them did it would matter, but until your down to 1 gen left, kicking is a waste of time.

Oh man... theres a lot to unpack here... "I hate getting a ban when u have to use the bathroom so u don’t wanna sit there in afk and let the killer get a free kill." - Why are you not relieving yourself prior to the match? Survivor queue times are like 20 minutes... Why aren't you just going into a locker, or to the edge…

I think one of the reasons the killer experience is so terrible is because the player base on some systems has already collapsed. Queue times on PS4 are terrible for survivor and as killer you get huge rank disparity. The downward spiral has already begun

I think there are a few others... but I haven't found one acceptable on PS4 yet.

But you missed the point. You are saying, "I shouldn't have to wait 15-20 minutes for a fun even match", and thats true. Just go play killer, instant games. To deviate the match making to not be fair for the sake of time is stupid, since they are basically acknowledging the fact that they have far fewer players wanting to…

If you don't want to sit in a lobby for 15-20 minutes go play killer... because killer is consistently not as enjoyable an experience, and you know that.

Its unsportsmanlike, and I think it could be easily fixed: 1.) Survivors see the aura of other survivors in the exit gates. This way, the 'waiting for my team to be safe' is gone. You know they're safe, you can get out. 2.) Survivors cannot perform actions in the exit gate. No dead hard, no healing, no snapping out of it.…

@Carlosylu what system do you play on? Steam data shows its been fairly flat, but still a lot of players. I think PS4 player count has dropped severely though, since match making is absolutely terrible there. I think BHVR is just in a bad spot at this point. If they actually manage a rank-less-skill-based MM system, it…

Its a vicious circle. I'm not a high rank killer, and I constantly get pitted against red-ranks, which isn't fun... so guess what... I stop playing killer for a long time. I casually read my latest novel (Witcher books!) while waiting for a 15-20 minute survivor queue. I think the problem is a drop in players, especially…

Agree. People should play how they want. This isn't exactly new information, or a new game. If people are face camping you, or tunneling, its because they want to. After a two years of playing this game, I camp, tunnel, face camp, and do other "toxic" game play because variety is the spice of life. I also think if a killer…

Allow survivors to speed up their bleed out if they want. Similar to recovery, you hold the button and you bleed faster. Your aura changes, so that the remaining survivor can tell you are doing this. I do think removing the hatch would reduce slugging a lot. I'm not sure if it would help the game though... survivors don't…

My money is 100% on Pinhead. There is a new hell raiser movie coming out this year, and the timing feels right. Chains make sense too.

Killers are complaining about hook suicides? Weird. Just another one down, suicide all you want.

Doesn't the lobby disappear when the killer does? So, unless they were actually weren't SWF, they wouldn't be able to communicate that to each other... Killer Rank 11 here, who constantly faces red ranks on PS4... I pretty much dodge any lobby with a Claudette. Sorry, not sorry. Claudette is a red flag for me, and I just…

Survivors put you in that position EVERY FRIGGIN' game. You've won, just leave. But no.... make me chase you out the gate, or go find the hatch for a few more BP, or lets do another extra chase so you can pallet drop me again. Lets 99 the gate, for a bit more fun. Its often incredibly clear when the game is over, but…

Killers should have the option to open the exit games and start EGC at any point. Problem solved

A.) Camping is a legit strategy in a lot of situations. I almost always hard camp my first survivor if I'm using a low-mobility killer on a big map - especially if I lucked out and caught them early on - especially if I don't have BBQ (which should be base kit for all killers just for this reason) B.) Camping wouldn't be…

I'm 100% more toxic lately as killer, but not because of a lack of DC penalties, because I'm tired of facing red-rank-swf-squads as a level 12 killer. Its not fun, and playing meme builds (Which people think as toxic) and camping and slugging is fun. Fix killers, fix match making, and you'll see less bull.

I've been having tons of fun camping survivors lately.

100% agree. Hatch just incentivizes making the game longer since one surv feels the need to find the hatch at the end instead of just getting the heck out.

What is it?

@fleshbox they aren't going to fix, they're going to hide it. You'll not be able to see the ranks, and just always assume every time you won, you may not have deserved it, or every time you lost, its because they didn't deserve it.

Happy that we all got some good exercise, especially that Jeff guy. Thats right, Jeff! Lose the pot belly!

I think their user base is simply too small, and no one wants to play killer these days. They're not going to let people queue forever, so eventually their wait time hits a threshold in the algorithm, and they get dropped in with more and more rank disparity. Unfortunately, the only fix for this is to get more players, and…

I think an easy fix for Mori would be this: If you have been hooked, but still on 1st phase, you must be carried back to the hooked and then mori'd on the hook (Yeah new violence animation!) This way survivors get a second chance for a save, but the killer still gets their quick killer. If you have been hooked, and on 2nd…

Why not just stop playing? Player counts dropping and increased queue times will effect BHVR more than this...

Considering queue times for survivor are 20 minutes on weeknights on PS4, I'm surprised anyone is upset by this. Whats 5 more minutes? IMO these shouldn't even apply to killers.

Seriously, screw that game. Thats how all my matches on PS4 have been. Rank 12 killer, vs a bunch of rank 1s (often swf squads). Hiding this information won't make it any better.

Are you saying, if someone else DCs, you should be able to do so w/o penalty?

You don't need to imagine - thats what happens in the moving :)

Red rank survivors are insufferable. I never had to go against them until PS4 match making went to all hell (I'm rank 12 killer...) but now they're all I get.

Rank 12 vs 4 rank 2 just now ... There must just be no killer players on PS4 and I can understand why. This isn't fun. I'm not a masochist, I have other games to play.
