Skill issue

lmaooo ‘but but but… my Up The Ante value!’ People legally leaving the game early by suiciding on hook is way more damaging than any tiny benefit brought by the handful of luck perks and offerings. It’s not like those things can’t be reworked. Also, if someone has to spend several minutes AFKing or running to the killer,…

Personally, all my favorite characters in this game have voice lines. Pinhead and Nic Cage are my mains for their respective sides. I wish more characters spoke in game; it’s one thing I prefer in Killer Klowns over DBD. That said, if there were an option to turn them off for people that don’t like them, that seems like…

I’ve seen it as low as 50% for 2v8 surv. I tried queuing up for killer then, and it still took 13 minutes. No idea why BHVR is being stingy with the BP incentive.

You are policing though. In your mind, escaping is the only thing that matters and if anyone feels or plays differently, they are wrong. 2v8 isn’t ranked or competitive, no one is obligated to sweat every game because you say so. You can’t MAKE people feel the way you feel, which is kinda what you’re trying to do with this…

Cleansing a full totem is worth 1000 blood points. Add another 250% and that’s 3,500 points for just 14 seconds of bone slamming.If I do escape, I get to keep my item for free. Yeah, I’m gonna keep doing bones and chests in addition to gens. People who care more about points than wins are just as valid as people who care…

Lucky. Takes me at least 7 minutes just to find a lobby for killer 1v4, and that doesn’t include the lobby timer itself nor the loading times.

Well, if you care about points, there is still one reason: you can play an entire game of 2v8 as survivor in the time it would take you to find one lobby in 1v4. Your points per game might be better with the latter, but your points per hour is still higher with the event.

These are awesome, fun and challenging

The current game might be lost, but at least I can delay the griefer from doing the exact same thing in their next game. I’m sparing 4 other people who want to play from having to deal with selfish pricks that suicide at the first inconvenience. You’re welcome.

unless you’re on Xbox T_T

I will absolutely unhook survs that try to go next unnecessarily; at the very least it will keep that player from ruining others’ games for just a bit longer. You’re welcome.

Considering BHVR only has the rights to the mask itself and not anything from Scream, sadly this seems like a pipe dream. Would be awesome, though.

Haddonfield is waaay too small. I’m all for reducing the size of the maps that are too big, but this is overkill.

This will fall on deaf ears. While it is absolutely painful to be on the receiving end of this situation, it is not holding the game hostage.

Lmao ‘skill ceiling’. This implies console users are too incompetent to flick with Oni; it’s literally not possible! And since console users have no choice but to use a controller, fairness should take precedence over what is essentially a bug.

Same, an official leaderboard would be awesome, especially since all the sites that track stats can only do so for Steam users.

I agree with many of the comments that most map offerings deserve to be dodged, especially considering there is no penalty for it. I would LOVE for BHVR to share how often games with map offerings don’t make it past the offering or loading screen.

If you don’t know what the survivor meta is, then how can you be sure you’re not using it?

What? This game was originally designed and released for PC. It didn’t come out on console til about a year later. IMO that’s why MnK will always be a superior control scheme to use, it was literally designed for it, and I assume that’s how all the devs play the game.

Typically, rifts last for 10 weeks (70 days), some of them have been 12 weeks (84 days). This current rift is 16 weeks (112 days). I assume it’s so the devs don’t get stuck working over the holidays. I prefer shorter rifts, but this one is full of awesome skins, I bet they wanna give everyone a chance to unlock them.

Same experience as several others in this thread: minor BP incentive for survivor, queue takes 3+ minutes; no incentive for killer, finds a lobby in <30 seconds.

More players sounds better in a vacuum, or for a symmetrical game. But DBD needs a 4:1 ratio, so it doesn’t do any good if tens of thousands of people come to the game but they all wanna play killer; queue times suffer game-wide. It’s a worse experience for almost everyone. That’s what they mean when they say it was…

More like a jaded survivor ;)

Perks on nurse? No, thank you.

Should the devs remove basement hooks? Hooks on hills? There are inherently hooks throughout each map that are more dangerous to be upon for survivor and easier to defend as killer.

IIRC, if you're close enough to hear the surv scream, you will not get a sound bubble, but if they are not close enough to be heard, a bubble will tell you where they screamed. Since Scene Partner and (to a lesser extent) Dramaturgy are typically activated near the killer, you would hear the direction they scream from but…

WHO escapes more? The person who prioritizes their own escape over others', or the person who prioritizes others' escapes over their own? Hmmmmmm…

Agree. Some people argue that anything is better than 4 slowdown perks, but I personally find a full aura-reading Nurse/Blight/Billy/Spirit/Huntress/etc match much more insufferable.

lol ok

Then how do you explain me having a different bonus than someone in the same region and time?

Obviously. That’s why I mentioned the other factors that influence it besides flat numbers of people. I can and do have a totally different matchmaking incentive from someone else who lives in the same US state and plays at the same time because our MMR is so different.

Not only is the matchmaking incentive affected by region and time, MMR influences it too. The last few nights, with the double BP, I’ve seen +100% bonus for killer most of the night (9 pm to 4 am, NA West-ish). No one’s experience with the matchmaking incentive is universal.

At this point I would be fine with the devs gutting the box/chain hunt if it meant the chains that I aim and shoot weren’t so weak and easy to break. Certain addons being basekit would be great, but I would cry actual tears of joy if Pinhead stopped breaking his own chains.

”Fun aura-reading build” sounds like an oxymoron to me. Especially if it’s on a killer that has high mobility and/or range. Not everyone runs distortion, and having the killer constantly know where you are is brutal. But people can run whatever they want. If you prefer 4 slowdown/regression perks, then have at it. Like you…

I believe that survivors are a team right up until the last gen is finished; one person can’t repair all the gens AND distract the killer, after all. When that last gen pops, it’s every person for themselves.

I agree, there are about 5 too many Badham maps.

Just a slight correction, Rancor does not show the killer any auras; it shows them the locations of each survivor. It cannot be countered by perks like Distortion nor can it have its info reading extended by aura perks like Lethal Pursuer. The info it gives is slight, but it can really catch survivors off guard when you…

No, I'm a both sides main, so half my games were on surv. But the BP are more consistent with killer, and killer gets so many more cobbs (cakes) than survivor, that it made sense to me to dump almost all of it into my main.

During the event, around 7-10 hours each day. I'll probably cut back a bit now that the masquerade is over.

Calm Spirit isn’t getting buffed, Iron Will is.

The title is misleading. Should killers slug all 4 survs and either bleed them out or hook them last second, all while at 5 gens? Ideally not, though it isn’t illegal. Your situation is completely different. The killer was playing well, did nothing against the rules, had two people on hook, downed the third, knew where the…

I do it for points. If they’re gonna die anyway, might as well farm em a little.

Do you have cross play turned off? If so, it will only match you with others in your region that have it off. Can’t think of another reason why your queue times would be so egregiously long.

I would love to play as Lee Everett from the first Telltale The Walking Dead game.

Blood Pact only makes you less likely to be the obsession, it does not guarantee prevention

I was able to complete this challenge earlier today using Dark Devotion and Unforseen. Hit the obsession or kick a gen, then go as far away as you can before the timer on the perk runs out and static blast. With any luck, there will be survivors near the people/gens that have your terror radius.

Need more info. Were you playing a killer with a damaging M2? Only basic attacks proc exposed hits.

The East Wing is killswitched, as is the RPD offering; the West Wing is still in rotation.

”How the hell do you fix this?” Unfortunately I haven’t found any solution other than waiting for it to go away. My condolences, hope it’s quick.
