It doesn't matter. There are times I want to win in DBD, but not in random 2v8 matches. You've seen the streams and videos of friends playing DBD and laughing because they got dunked on for some stupid #########? That's me and my friends. I don't take this mode seriously at all.
-
I absolootly lute chests because I want that flashlight. Flashlight saves are the funnest survivorly thing to do in this mode besides rebuilding pallets. That or scamming people out of the loot pickup.
-
If they did do an unranked mode, they can keep the existing system in as the ranked mode. Add some type of leaderboard for that and bring whatever you want. Unranked lobbies can be another mode altogether where everything is random, including killers. No map offerings and maybe even some type of end game kill guarantee so…

2v8 Killer was the most fun I've had playing that role in years. I didn't mind sitting in queue for 5+ minutes. I'm glad it's coming back.
-
I would be for them linking a forum account to a game account. If you get banned, welp, that's it.. at least for that account. Give people some accountability. At the same time, they could use that in-game data to let us choose which stats to display about ourselves— not an exhaustive, all-inclusive listing, but maybe some…

It's usually up to the loser to say GG first. That's a sign of a good sport, especially if they're telling you that you played a good game. Innocent mistake you made, but in a day when saying GG can be considered a taunt, it's best just to leave it, because if they wanted to talk, they'd just go AFK and say something…
-
All the DBD friends I have, I made before crossplay and with the older matchmaking, so you always ran across the same survivors 3 or 4 days after rank reset. Being PC, you would talk alot to those same survivors, and even killers… at least before the community started weirding out and taking the game super seriously.
-
Yeah, I can agree with this. Nobody would dodge and it would be a crapshoot for everyone. If you really wanted the game to be a true PVP, then I think you should remove as much randomness as possible. A little is fine, but DBD has way too much to be anything but a casual game. Though I just don't think it's possible. Like,…
-
Yes. Almost every time I was working and couldn't use headphones. Try playing without headphones at all. You'd be surprised at how long a streak you can get.
-
I don't know about removing them, but I know I'd be burning sacrificial wards a lot more often if they were brought down to yellow.
-
Twins, Knight, Xeno, Chuckie, Nemesis.
-
I think I saw some topless models for guys and maybe some shorts type stuff too. I wanted something for Jane and maybe even Haddie. Thick girls go to the beach too. I've seen them.
-
Release a swimsuit series and I'd be all over it like suntan lotion on a towel.
-
I don't know if it still works well, but using it in an anti-heal loadout on pig map was pretty brutal. Clownophobia, Distressing, Unnerving, Sloppy. I used this a lot with Billy a while back. Meme build, but hella funny.
-
Well they can't go back, even though I preferred the old way too. But if they did, they'd have to scrap MMR per killer as we know it and people were complaining pretty hard about that before— about how they couldn't have fun games trying to learn the killer because they were facing good survivors. That really sucked. Also,…
-
It's because she didn't want to play a 3v1. Or if she was the one that was AFK, then it sounds like she didn't feel like playing against Xenomorph.. probably because playing against it requires more attention. That's my read on it anyway. Regardless, I doubt you're going to get any real talk here about exactly why. The…
-
There was at least one time where they said killers were using moris to target survivors out of spite. It was in a developer update a couple years back. Total shocker, tbh.
-
Use Red Herring.
-
"Dev note: Revealing pallets and windows was much less useful for Killers than Survivors since the Killer is present every time a pallet is broken. We have reworked this Perk to instead reveal Survivor auras near dropped pallets. This will provide some useful info during a chase and allow for some interesting mindgames."…
-
Slayer. Jeff Hanneman RIP! Ace would probably be the easiest to get out of the bunch A 6 foot Danzig? In the fog, yes.
-
To be fair, that was a very different time. Safe pallets everywhere. Tiles were known, and planning routes was pretty easy to link to others. Sometimes you could use several tiles as one big one if there were fun windows in play and you could do it on the fly in one pass through as long as you recognize the tiles. You…
-
It can be useful for the team as long as you're taking the chases and hooks when you need to. Too much caution kills the team. You can pretty much use any survival perk and be helpful at the same time. When I would play killer and people are using distortion or are saving and stealthing away, guess who I'm tunneling out?…
-
I wouldn't mind if the matches went straight to the offering screen, or the game itself. People don't really use that chat for important stuff anyway. This is what they say: Nea: Can anyone read this? David: No. Dwight: Nea's a ####. Adam: Jane you look hot. Elodie: Come to me for heals. I have autodidact. Jeff.ttv: Ok. ←-…
-
I've always liked the idea of just using the campfire scene, like right after you boot up the game, that shows survivors kicking back by the fire. I think that's a pretty good distance, and believable if you have some fog and a wall or bush to obscure the killer from view. I'd like a little interaction too, like maybe the…
-
Ever since BHVR put in MMR, cherry picking lobbies should have been tossed out too. That should have been done at the same time. Never understood the logic to keep it in considering dodging can really bork matchmaking up. Or maybe they fixed it? I dunno—been gone a while. Don't people just ready up and alt tab out until…
-
They're very close to making the maps very balanced. I think this is the ultimate goal.
-
Yeah, the guy on our team with the highest hours has 14k. I'm close to 10k and everyone else falls inbetween 5-12. We go against tier 1 perk killers every night we play, in the off hours. This isn't new because before I stopped playing a year and a half ago, this was a thing. I remember the devs saying that they would…
-
Not good for newer players, but I've been running them. Moment of Glory, Exultation, Appraisal, and Ace in the Hole/Smash Hit/Any Means. Eyes of Belmont is fun in an aura build like EoB/OoO/Scene Partner/Alert. Sometimes I switch out Alert for Dramaturgy. It's a good build if you're decent at running or maybe EoB/Head…
-
I am! Proud father of 2. Maybe I should adopt you because they never giggle at my jokes and that stings a little. I don't know what BHVR can do to stop people from giving up on the hook. I don't think penalizing survivors is the answer because they're not addressing anything. And who knows what reasons people have for…
-
This is an argument. "Y'all will scrape for any excuse to cry the game is dead", isn't, when the OP clearly didn't say that. It's not black and white. I get that the killer wait time is fine, but to be fair, they loosen region and MMR restrictions to get it that way. Nobody I currently play with has less than 5k hours.…
-
He's not "Y'all will scrape for any excuse to cry the game is dead."-ing. That's why I asked that because I think that's an extreme take, and it tries to invalidate the guy's concern. And I find it to be a curious, but grayish truth, at least since I came back from my break. I do get killer bonuses late at night, but it…
-
Yeah, but it's not nearly as easy. Frankly I don't know how to do it, but I know it was a thing a couple years ago. Back when it was P2P, anyone could check with a simple command. And with how petty some people can be, I think it was a safe move.. albeit ######### at the same time, for us. Edit- Also, ask anyone how it was…
-
This isn't new. Ever since dedicated servers were implemented, I've been queueing into Asian servers from the west coast in the off-hours. It's very annoying and one of the reasons why I stopped playing solo. I've been asking for region filters for years. I'd rather wait 10 minutes than go next.
-
They had to change it because it was a big security risk. You could see everyones' IP via CMD.
-
Oh god…. What is this, 2017?
-
The sad thing is that I doubt they would feel that way, because they actually went out of their way to do what they did. What a bunch of pricks. This is something in their being and it won't get fixed without a lot of rehabilitation. They'd have to seriously get called out in real life, but in the day of internet…
-
Who's saying the game is dead?
-
Yeah. It's getting harder to consistently field a group of guys to play. During 2v8, usually there were at least 8 that would be on, then when we played the PTB, nothing really grabbed us. There are a few survivor builds that are fun, like evolving the flashlight and aura builds, but… well anyway, it's been a pretty tepid…
-
Yeah. This was known in PTB. Maybe it won't be so bad.
-
Maybe it was the same nemesis changing names.
-
I like the idea, but not because "Survivors can do it so why can't I?" No, that's silly. I like it because there should be an opt out button if all of one side agrees and no harm done, right? Like there's plenty of times when I'm playing and I've got the crappiest build, but then I'm forced to play harder because I realize…
-
I don't normally get involved in console happenings, but I think this is really insensitive for BHVR to take the stance they can't help, considering all the things they do to show they care, like the inclusivity, equality stuff and all. They can help, but it might cost a little somethin-somethin to get it done— as in…
-
Don't nobody remember this dude? Man.
-
I always thought BP for gens was so low because survivors would camp gens and run gen rushing perks.
-
Well I suppose you take your chances, but I use nVidia filters and have been using it since coming back, and that was maybe 5 or 6 weeks ago now. I don't plan on stopping until I get something a little more official. At one point there was some type of promotion between BHVR and nVidia for their filters, so I'll keep using…
-
If I'm going to play vs bots, I'd rather it just be a single player game where I set specific rules, parameters, modes, etc. A single player DBD could be fun if we could mod it and balance it ourselves. I would not play 1+3v1.
-
Yeah, the match was pretty good as far as chases for Hens, because he was the main focus.. Really, him yelling sums up solo queue in a nutshell.
-
I don't think you can get away from that. But I think BHVR can make it worth people's while by incentivizing the use of the other perks. Give them a BP bonus or make a leaderboard for most wins while using a particular non-meta perk. People would eat that crap up. I would.
-
Whatever BHVR says. When my team plays for fun? Maybe 60 percent of the time. When we play for real, a lot higher than that. But we haven't done that in a long time because it's boring as #########. I don't know how much survivors were escaping when I still played killer a couple years ago, but it low. I know that it would…
-
If you want fun statistics, then you can believe whatever number BHVR tells you, but it's not data based on real skill. Most people are doing challenges or dailies and/or using non-meta perks. Meaning: they're not playing for real. Now they may want to win, but they're not playing 100. Y'know? Most games should be thrown…
