So it seems experience has been mixed so far with the new MMR. I played two matches, the second one I pipped up to rank 16. Now I dont have to play the rest of the season if I choose not to, as my rest will be rank 17. Skill based MMR no longer considering play time reached: explain how a rank 17 guy with 2 hours play time…

If the rank system is no longer used, then remove the depipping associated with the old ranking system. I would feel happier then seeing my rank get higher based on the time I actually play.

The bloodrush event is only a week, I suggest you skip playing till its over. It attracts a den of scum and villainy usually players who dont play killer that much but will do so out of spite.

I think the "bad player" is being associated with "new or beginning player". Admit everyone plays like trash when they first start, then over time they get better, they find a survivor character or killer character they do better on, or feel more confident using. In my case my "bad" survivors are those where I am missing…

The screen cap you posted show the killer also disconnected. Regardless of a player disconnect, if the killer disconnect its game over, and thus his build would be seen. No advantage to your friends as the match is over. I suspect what happened is that you glitched out of the match (hence your post) and the killer needed a…

Last match I played I got 3,049 blood points, I failed all objectives and I have over 600 hours in game. Sure I got tunneled, but at the end of the day you have to assume every match is not going to be a tunnel fest, its like going out to eat at a restaurant never sure if the food will be ok or not; each time you go you…

I am seeing rank 4, rank 11, and a rank 10 in the end game list and I am rank 16, normally that tells me its an SWF led by the 4, tho why I am being MATCHED with a rank 4 at rank 16 I don't know. I was so mad about the stupid rank debacle with the achieves being given out like candy that I quit playing for a week, now I…

(Moderator note: technically this isnt a Bug Report so if you wish move it to Off Topic.)

One trial due to a bug there were four piggys in the match as killer and one survivor, the survivor had four options: Disconnect Die on first hook Look for the hatch Loop the four killrs who followed him in a line, never thinking to co-ordinate their approach. Which one would you do? And the generators have the new ruin on…

I was always curious why in certain events which required the survivors to complete blighted gens that ruin would be used. In addition, I had to stop using the perk that breaks a hook after being unhooked (one of Jakes I think) as the Killer thought I was deliberately targeting his blighted hooks. Perhaps having crows…

As a survivor main, I hate depipping so much that if I depip due to a mistake I make, or the killer deciding I should die at all costs (the reason I dont play Steve anymore) then it can affect my game play. Usually I have to take a break to avoid my anger affecting the team or the match as a whole. Having said that, a lack…

Why not have a ranked and a regular que? The regular que still has ranks, and pips, but you dont lose pips. When you hit rank 15 on the regs you may then enter the ranked que, but not before. Some players being casual or just wanting to have fun would opt for the regs. Sure and it would be nice to allow rift quest in the…

OK point taken. Its a very difficult job balancing a game when the same trial will be played by someone who got the game for Christmas last week and someone who has been playing since 2016.

I dont find ranking up as easy. For a long while I would gain three pips then lose them all in consecutive matches over and over. The only reason I swf now is that I get better squads to play with. Since the game removed ranks in the lobby, I have no idea of the quality of the team I will be in. Sure I can control that by…

You do get achieves I think for reaching Rank 10, 5 and 1. The method used by the game involves emblems which score between 1 and 4 points per emblem. With the revised rank reset (or if you like the indicator that determines what color crest you are) dropping four ranks into one, it makes it nigh impossible for new players…

What is this game you are playing that "its so easy to avoid a depip"? Tell me exactly how you would avoid a depip spawning within ten meters of the killer, getting hooked and then nobody else on your team tries to rescue you even tho its obvious the killer is nowhere near you, as the other three just want to gen rush?

I think right now the matchmaker is simply using regions and grabbing anyone in que to make a lobby party. It would explain red and purples facing greens or even grays

Its a question of how to play as a team. The killer spends all his time trying to hook me, or camps my ass on the hook, the other three escape. My work is done.

So you are suggesting a lot of the killer rift challenges will be needing Doc and "zap a survivor 25 times in a single match" sort of challenges?

I play solo and I play SWF. I have no idea what ranks are in the lobby pre match. I assume that they are going to be either lower or higher than my rank if solo. If I am playing SWF with a higher ranked player I expect everyone to be higher ranked. The way I look at it is that if I get a kindly killer who could have killed…

Like a few have said, the game needs growth, which means persuading new players not to give up after a day or so game play having the ass handed to them on either side. I guarantee if the game had an absolute block on killers between 15-20 facing survivors higher than 15, their que times would be like an hour. Conversely,…

The friend I normally play with who plays both killer and survivor cleared the hardest tome in three days, clearing the survivor in just over a day. This suggests they are absolutely a genius at DBD and in the end so I choose not to play killer I ended up spending another 15 bucks buying tiers in addition to using the…

I am thinking if you used killer character level that could be abused by blood farming. If you set individual ranks then blood would be tied to the character that earned itand couldnt be "spent" on a different character. You cannot have both.

This thread is like the Killer perspective of my earlier thread before Christmas. I havent played since Thursday last week and its now Sunday. While I take the odd day off for a break or heck I actually have stuff to do in real life, the game doesnt make me excited to think, oh hey I can play DBD now for at least four…

No. We have secondary objectives for some of the killers already, incluidng the Pig, Plague, the Doc and I suppose Freddy too. I would add this nonsense to red ranks only since that seems to be the point of most problems killers have with survivors. Adding a secondary objective at rank 15 or indeed any rank lower than 4 is…

I think part of the problem is inconsistent matches. If you are around rank 15 say, and know if you screw up you can depip or even derank it makes matches where the killer decides you are either the weakest link or maybe they simply dont like your character that much harder to handle. You get a match in which you last…

I get ya. I am sorry the game is so lousy with the ranks players face. If we are going to have crazy ranks a patch to restore ranks in lobbies would help, then I can make a decision to take the risk of running against a killer ten ranks higher than me or not. When they removed the ranks in lobbies I had to assume I would…

OK a quick update" I have found in my last ten matches almost without exception, a purple rank player say 8 or higher but not red is queing with a rank 17 or 18, and the matchmaker is treating the SWF team as if the lower rank is the one to be matched with. The purple rank then acts like a potato the entire match. In one…

I work on the rule I can blow one skill check, but if I blow a second and I get the "look" from the other survivor I leave the gen.

Better still have a player retire option. The player leaves the match, but they are banned from queing until the match finishes. Its as if they are benched within the match and have to wait it out. Maybe this might stop players from quitting due to rage as they wont be able to get a new trial till the one they qued for,…

Well they talked about "punishments" for disconnecting. At the same time players feel they should be able to leave a match that has tanked, or one in which their challenge attempt is obfuscated. Instead of imposing a time penalty, consider a loss of 15,000 blood points for the SECOND disconnect within an hour. If the…

I wonder when they rework the rank system they look at achievements as well. Or introduce a double points hard mode where you are not allowed to use any perks except the unique ones that come with the character and no items or add ons

I started playing August 5 when I bought the game this year. I have less than 600 hours in game. I tried Killer failed to find anyone (which apparently is the usual beginner experience) and said nope not doing this, then started Survivor with... Laurie Strode... I admit it was a stupid choice... I played Laurie for like…

I do think in some matches it relies on luck heavily. An example, I spawn in to Coldwind right by a gen. I retreat behind the wall and wait a few moments. Sometimes another survivor will be downed and that lets me figure where the killer is. Approach the gen, start repairs, then suddenly my spinechill wobbles in and out…

My friend thought this challenge would take her several matches. She SWF'd with me in one match and suicided on the hook after deciding nobody was helping her unhook (clue: she doesn't run Kindred) and the very next match she did all four generators. I believe the challenge is possible provided you use a helping perk like…

I have a simple suggestion. You cannot use perks from other survivors or killers until the survivor or killer you are playing and wish to use other perks on is Adept. For killer I would reduce the requirements to a simple 2K not the 4K currently and some bizarre amount of emblems. Demonstrate a player has mastered the…

I do think tho that placing a rank 14 killer with a rank 4 survivor in the team makes no sense. I saw that today. I also feel that rift challenges are going to get harder and harder to complete the higher rank you are. It appears the matchmaker as currently implemented is using Region primarily to determine the pool of…

I would like to see an option where a player could select the following: [X] You will earn no player experience in this trial, you will earn no blood points in this trial, your emblem score will be zero and you will safety pip. Yay,. now I can do the insane challenge and not depip.

I concur. I guess its possible they qued solo based on region and the matchmaker did its best to match them, but it is a fail for everyone else.

My solution is simple. Since SWF is so popular it should be easy for four players to SWF together. Then have group ranked and solo ranked ques. If players want to play as a group they do so as a 4 man team and the killers will know this by queing in group ranked. Sadly it will never happen as killers may decide to avoid…

They changed the rules last year, rank 16s can lose all their pips and the game will laugh at them and make them remain rank 16 for ever. I have been rank 15 and depipped to 16 then all the way to 16 and 0/4 pips. The game is broken so utterly in certain ways I doubt they will ever fix it Maybe stop depipping at rank 16?…

I play SWF as well, I expect a killer at an appropriate rank and I dont expect other than me to see any brown or gray ranks in the group. MY SWF buddy is rank 8 and I play accordingly based on a rank 10 killer or higher. My point is that a rank 5 should be graced with a rank 8 killer not a rank 13. (That in itself is…

I had this in my first match today. Trapper wiped out the team in under two minutes. Knew where everyone was slugged and carried to basement.

I will admit I preferred it when the ranks were shown in the lobby as a survivor. If I saw a rank 9 and two rank 10s, I would tend to think they were an SWF as the matchmaker shouldnt pull a rank 16 into that lobby. I could then dodge, or take a gamble I would safety pip. But I had the choice. Now I have to assume the…

Kate.

The only two I have prestiged are Kate and Nancy. I tend to use the best survivor for the daily or simply because I just wasted cells on a Christmas sweater and want to get some usage. I try not to have a main as such as I know what happens: the main gets nerfed perks and the player freaks out. Not having a main means I…

I think the answer is fairly obvious: the rift challenges. I know the past season I didnt rank up at all as survivor, the previous season I did move at least a few ranks. My theory is that everyone got good due to needing to do the more stupid of the challenges and a disinclination to spend more than a few matches getting…

I had an idea that stuffing four ranks into rank 17 was a fail. The OP shows their experience has been less than positive. The matchmaker tries to match players of similar ability. It is not designed to match a new survivor with a rank 15 killer (even if for solo play which all killers are, it is within the mythical 6…

That sounds like a recipe to alienate solo survivors. Should a solo have to run all over the map looking for the rest of the team and find all three at one gen while the solo looks around for a totem to clean. If you make it so generators have to be repaired by at least two survivors the solo survivor is at a disadvantage.

So a new player at rank 20 with one yellow perk for the new character finally survives to the last generator and lo, the Find the Exit appears... are they really going to know to stop at 99% in case whoever the killer is may be running BW? And I am talking a solo player with no friends in the game yet. As regards opening…
