It's survivor sided because of the immense number of pallets, lightning fast gens, incredibly fast heals etc. That's why lol
-
Why is everything blue? The halloween event was all blue (strange considering everyone associates halloween with oranges, reds, blacks etc etc). The deep rift stuff being always blue-er has always confused me. I'd love a colour rotation for deep rifts
-
Luckily I haven't had an afk killer in 2v8 yet! But ngl the incentive needs to be at least 400% for survivors to funnel more people into the modifier. It's not really worth it for me unless the incentive is there tbh. As it stands, as soon as I finish the tome challenges, i'm going back to 1v4 which I know wont help those…
-
Cant tell if this is satire or not lol. This is the easiest mode for survivors there has ever been. The gens go ridiculously fast, heals are basically instant, there are an absolutely disgraceful amount of pallets (which they can rebuild) not to mention the countless additional buffs from the 2v8 survivor kit.
-
No thanks, I don't want people to identify "favourable" maps and constantly bring me there. That's boring. And it's been rightly pointed out how that would work for a 4v1 game. If all maps were perfectly balanced then yes 100% I might be interested. But they aren't and never will be, so a pre-match map selection likely…
-
We stan a Python king/queen/monarch. Lovely post OP. I see a lot of people still aren't happy (it is the DBD community after all lol). But thank you for the effort and explanations. They are very much appreciated.
-
For me, I play all aspects of the event as survivor. However, when I swap over to play some killer I select the event queue purely based on the better queue times.
-
I believe it's just the endurance effect that gets cancelled. The other effects stay.
-
It's killer compensation for the sheer number of pallets on maps nowadays lol
-
Same issues for me on PS5 too
-
Same thing happening for me on PS5 too - I can barely load up the game atm it's so so slow after the patch
-
When i seen the roadmap announcement with Freddy i ran to the forums to see what @GeneralV had to say. I'm absolutely delighted that Freddy is finally getting some love. First killer I ever played when I truly got into DBD 😭
-
omg people will complain about anything now. In my little book of complaints i did NOT see wglf being complained about LOL
-
Interesting idea, and prob a bad one BUT what if hexes started at full strength, then cleansing ~3 totems reduces the strength of the effect. Then when the 3rd is cleansed the hex is gone? But the ~3 relevant hex totems are lit up at the start of the match. I've no idea if that's basically the same as the old ruin undying…
-
I do realise that. I'm just pointing out an interesting and unfortunate fact of the change. I'm not saying anything about it's to spite him. It's literally an ongoing joke that freddy gets no love and recent changes, including this one, haven't helped.
-
Just realised that the corrective action changes in the upcoming dev update are basically yet ANOTHER nerf to freddy lol. It renders his skill check addons useless. Poor Freddy keeps losing and losing time and time again
-
Omg I just started learning Unknown and he feels good and balanced as is. WHY are there changes :( He's a two tap special attack at a range, loosely similar to Nemy, who recently got buffed.
-
Is this not just yet ANOTHER Freddy nerf in disguise? RIP his addons that make use of missed skill checks… Poor guy doesn't get a break lol
-
One thing that would improve the DBD experience for me would be map atmosphere. We've completely lost the "horror" aspect of maps that we had a few years ago and it's really sad. Theres little to no fog, maps are way too bright, the grungey and creepy feel of all maps is gone. I feel like we need that back.
-
This is so disheartening. Freddy was the first killer I ever played and he has a special place in the DBD part of my brain. I always find myself going back to Freddy. I really really hope the lateness of the rework is because they're taking their time with it to get it right.
-
Dead by statistics.
-
If theres no gen progress then the pen res token isn't used up and can then be triggered again on a later hook. It also knocks off 20%.
-
"See you in the fog". Babe, what fog?
-
@arcaneGospel Omg imagine the P4 skins in DBD. That would be amazing
-
I'd love to see the Conjuring / The Nun in DBD. But it would be interesting to see something from the Charmed universe in DBD. The sisters or one of the villans from the series. Could be cool
-
It's so bad. Theres no BP incentives, tome challenge BP rewards are non-existent, no rift fragments from the tome, can barely pip and earn BP in matches because you can't see what's going on. It's a hot mess. I'm only playing it to get the badge and banner then i'm out.
-
Theres no incentives to actually play this mode. No BP bonuses, the tome challenges give very small amount of BPs and zero rift fragments. I'm only playing this to get the badge and banner then i'm out lol
-
It's a bit of a waste of time tbh. I mainly play survivor and the BP rewards are non-existent lol. I'd assume it's the same for killer.
-
Also working for me - thanks for all your efforts in getting a fix in for this, much appreciated!
-
I play on PS5. These issues happened when I was playing AS Dredge and when I was playing against Onryo. I have not tested when playing AS another killer. I cannot hear survivors running near me, and the audio cue for dropping a flashbang does not happen (happened several matches) Onryo's static noise when demanifested is…
-
I don't know how useful it would be for everyone but I agree that it would at least be a nice little QOL improvement for the bloodweb
-
I'd say Second Wind is fairly balanced. I'm always getting value out of it, especially paired with Autodiadact (it's my goto fun pair to use in my matches now). It's a free heal off hook, only takes 20 seconds, you're free to run/loop/gens/totems etc. All it takes is to heal a health state of someone else. Doesn't feel too…
-
Yeah I haven't had a single issue on PS5. It's surprisingly smooth considering some of the jittering in previous "supermassive" games. Theres a known screen tearing bug on ps5 if you toggle on Film Grain but restarting sorts it and it's completely smooth afterwards. I've heard the game is kinda intensive
-
Also, if I don't get Linda as a survivor/legendary skin in DBD i'll be so annoyed 😂
-
Lets hope every current idea is temporarily scrapped and they just focus on Freddy for the next PTB <3
-
Yes, you have the right to quit out and DC. However, what you don't have the right to do is completely ruin the match for other players. THAT is why the penalty is in place. It's a deterrent which starts small and builds up. A starting 30 second penalty is nothing.
-
If my David doesn't end up in drag by the end of the year i'll be WILDLY disappointed xD But really tho I love the Dragula crossover. So excited to see what's planned
-
Drag artists that very much lean into horror/filth. I suppose those that don't know can learn more when the collab is out. I'm personally very happy about it.
-
I'm so excited for this. I heard the announcement from them so didn't realise DBD would be featured on Dragula too! Very excited to see what you and the Boulets are cooking up for this!
-
Boulet brothers (it's big for me lol) which they just confirmed and i'm SO excited
-
I kinda agree with this tbh. Like the 400% incentive was the only reason I played the 2v8 mode lol. I wanted the BP not the 2v8 experience. So it kinda manipulated the "play rates" of the mode, which was maybe not the intention but that's whats happened. I'm gonna play other things until it's gone. I don't wanna wait for…
-
Oh great. Can't wait to face even more long queue times. Terrible decision. I was actually excited to see 2v8 leave today so I could get back into the game properly but….
-
I've been saying for years they need to give us more player stats. Who cares about devotion and level. I want to see how many gens i've completed, totems cleansed, chases escaped etc lol
-
Where does it say the perk is getting screwed? Is there a description of the change somewhere. Or if you're just assuming it's getting nerfed, that means you think it's strong and maybe deserves one. But Equally it could just be getting tweaked? Lets just wait before having a meltdown
-
Is this a joke? Like actually Skull merchant, billy, and twins were the focus of so many recent updates WHY are we wasting more time on them. Please can resources actually be put into killers that are in a dire state like Freddy
-
Did you actually use the BHVR cross progression site? Or did you just add your PSN to steam?
-
Some of yall really need to get a grip… It shows up once for like a second. It's not that serious lol. It's a small advert, not a threat to life for christ sake.
-
Can they not just fill a lobby with bots if a killer is queueing too long? Surely that would drastically cut down on queue times
-
The gamemode is actually so painful to play. Every single survivor match i'm in - with 7 other survivors - only one or two are on gens at any one time. And if they are on gens then any time they hear a terror radius they all run. It's very very frustrating. It also doesn't help that most of these survivors cant loop…
-
I don't know how to access logs on a PS5, I don't take screenshots or videos of my games, fair enough I could have included in my addons, items etc. I only decided to report this after the fact, I was too busy trying not to damage my eyes and get out of the match quickly. I am also aware of everything you've just said but…
