fartist crows should follow terrain or be vertically aimable
one word: swamp it's one thing on the game when there's two flat levels to deal with, but literally how am i supposed to do jack stuff on swamp when the verticallity of the map is so varied. Literally if i stand at any point in the map the crows will just simply not hit anyone because they're slightly above or below where…

flashlights shouldn't stack
literally i fail to see the gameplay use of two survivors using a flashlight on the killer in normal gameplay. it's literal only use is for bully squads to annoy the killer by instantly blinding them. why is this a mechanic. has anyone ever used two flashlights in normal gameplay. they should buff franklin's to work with…

scourge hook placement needs its own logic
it shouldn't just be four random hooks, there should be a logic to the scourge hook selection so that rng doesn't completely make at least 1 perk completely useless i just had a match where two of my scourge hooks spawned in the upstairs area of eyrie of crows. two hooks that are impossible to use unless you specifically…

mmr should be based on prestige
I have no character over 9 prestige why am i getting matched with someone with 34 prestige nea, why bother putting me into that lobby, i'm going to just start dodging if i see prestiges over 10 cause it's never worth it

why does legion need to be blind to scratch marks?
i really think legion's entire power needs to be revisited, again. It's way too easy for a survivor to vault a window and then 360 and entirely vanish from legion's pov. It doesn't make sense that a killer meant to deny loops by vaulting is completely shut down by...looping. Like maybe it's cause my mmr is too high and I'm…

I just wasn't able to stalk someone while looking directly at them
Idk if this is a new exploit or if the game is just buggy as usual but I just had a gf game where I leaned out and was looking directly at a leon and the stalk just wouldn't register. To make it worse, he was looking right at me and broke me out of stealth. Is this just gf being unreliable as usual or is there some trick…

I play both survivor and killer. Prove thyself needs a heavy nerf and hyperfocus can't go live
I don't care what the streamers say about optimal play involving splitting up, prove thyself has been broken for years and the current emphasis on slowing down gens only emphasizes how difficult it is to play against. Multiple survivors running prove thyself means that tunneling is the only way to keep gens at a reasonable…
-
How do you deal with loops if you aren't playing an anti-loop killer?
I have a daily to do oni and my mmr is too high and it's draining trying to play against expert survivors on a killer that excels at navigating large swaths of open map. It's kind of a huge waste of time considering every chase is just a series of tight circles around every pallet on the map. What kind of perks can I run…
-
When will we get to play other killers against bots?
Right now we can only play trapper against bots. Since there's no killer-based mmr, I cannot effectively learn how to play nurse, billy, or blight because they require a significant amount of playtime to effectively use. My only choices are to have unwinnable games until I can actually practice against players of my skill…

Merged: I already own the Prime Plague outfit, so I get nothing?
This discussion has been merged.

Hooked On You seems to hate the people who play it
Maybe more will come out in the coming weeks about Hooked On You's various easter eggs and secrets, but after playing a couple routes it really feels like this game is a big joke at the expense of people who got excited about it. It's as if the devs are filled with a lot of self-loathing they haven't really worked through…

what the fastest way to tank my mmr?
I'm tired of always playing against 4-man swfs with at least two live twitch streamers. how do i quickly lose as much mmr as possible so I can have fun games again?

new dead hard doesn't work due to latency
the killer gets close i press e im on the floor because the server said i didn't press e next time i press e early the killer doesn't swing cause they see me pose and they just have to wait a half second

What killers would you refund if given the chance?
Mine are Clown (he's not free on pc), Artist, Blight, and maybe bubba now that bbq isn't required for leveling. Blight I'm just bad at, but I genuinely don't understand how clown and artist are so underpowered. Especially artist considering she's fairly new. Maybe I just don't understand how to play her but her power seems…

Is flashlight clicking macro bannable?
Regular flashlight clicking is bad enough, but I just had a match against a survivor using a macro to spam the flashlight clicking at the maximum rate the engine allows, and it was super annoying to listen to. Since it's a macro, is it a bannable offense? Or does the macro have to actually provide gameplay advantage and…

Thana won't be staying like this long, sadly
I just had a legion game where an extremely obvious bully swf just simply gave up partway into the match because they simply didn't want to play with the gen speeds I had forced them to. I was running thana, thrilling tremors, surveillance, and oppression. They finished one gen but it was obviously going to require too…

What do I have to do to get exclusive cosmetics before the patch?
I'm seeing talk that you get red backgrounds if you p3 people before the patch. Do I have to p3, or do I have to have a total of 150 levels in them? The devs said that levels post-50 count towards the total prestige, is this still true? What should I be doing to prepare for the progression change, should I prestige people…

Anyone have any idea when 6.1.0 is dropping?
I'm super excited to see what my inventory looks like with the new progression system but I didn't get a chance to look at the ptb. It's off the ptb now so it's only a matter of time til it drops but I can't find any info on when I should be expecting it.
-
Any word on shrinking rpd?
I know some map alternates were found in the ptb files, but has there been any word on changing rpd at all? I still don't really understand why a map that was built specifically to be a sprawling, confusing maze was considered a good fit for a game so dependent on map awareness. I just played a match on rpd with demo, who…

Is it possible to install the ptb and live at the same time? (on steam)
I want to be able to quickly switch between trying out pinhead and playing on the live servers in order to get bp and rift progress. Is there an easy way to do this with steam? It seems to only let me install one version at a time, and it takes forever.

Switch players are left behind
The switch players don't have the update yet, but the bloodhunt continues anyway. Switch players must play with other switch players, because they're the only ones who have the older version, because every other platform has the new update and new tome. Switch players are missing out on rift rewards and tome challenges,…

How do you deal with speed boost perks as Legion?
I have a lot of fun with Legion usually even tho they're an extremely weak killer since their power is all about injury and doesn't directly help with downs at all. But I just had a match on coldwind where one survivor had sprint burst and another had lithe and the speed of feral frenzy just simply doesn't make up the…

Why can Michael run out of stalk?
If a match goes on long enough, you can literally not be able to reach tier 3 anymore as myers. This is also an issue I just ran into in a game where tombstone piece took enough energy that I wasn't able to reach tier 3 again because I had fully stalked the 3 remaining survivors. Why does his mechanic work like this?…
-
the key changes can't come fast enough
I think the biggest issue I have with keys isn't even the survivors who bring them, it's when I 3 gen a group of survivors and kill one and instead of trying to work on the gens they just search all the chests for a key and escape that way people talk about dead hard being a mistake-erasing perk but finding a key in a…
-
How do you apply gen pressure when you're one killer?
I'm doing the killer thing where I have a bad match and come on the forums to complain. The advice I see is if someone is good in a chase you just leave them and find a different survivor. But what do you do against 4 survivors who are all expert runners? The early game was a sign this game was no good, I was having a…

Closing the hatch after it's opened by a key shouldn't power the exit gates
1 gen left with 4 survivors, but I've been doing good making hooks. 1 survivor dies, bbq tells me nea is by the shack nea sees me, opens the hatch that just spawned, and leaves. I close the hatch so other survivors can't escape. EGC starts and the exit gates are powered despite the fact there's two survivors left and one…
-
Killer skill check perks should be buffed
I purchased doctor recently and I was excited to try a skill check build since he's so check heavy. However, through playing, I've found that a lot of the skill check perks aren't nearly as useful as just straight up running the same perks as every other killer. Huntress Lullaby gets cleared before its power actually comes…

It's time to delete the TL2x Walls
I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with the TL loop, it's increasingly one of the major headaches I have to deal with as killer. And it's on almost every original map. At least the imbalance in haddonfield is architecturally interesting, the TL loop is boring and also only solvable by the survivor making a mistake. If…
-
Penultimate dc should delay hatch
As killer I've been running into an interesting issue that should be classed as an exploit. When the game is reduced to two people who are obviously playing in a swf, and I down one on their death hook, they'll dc and the hatch will immediately open, giving the other person an instant escape with no counterplay. If they…
-
Flashlights should be entirely reworked
As it stands now, flashlights are in a weird place. As a killer, the only times I ever encounter survivors using flashlights, it's usually red ranks who are already looping me really well. They don't need the flashlight to win, they're using it to flex. There's only two times you can use the flashlight. After a pallet…
-
matchmaking significantly worse due to influx of returning veterans
Have any other non red-rank survivors/killers noticed a severe increase in red ranks in their games after the resident evil announcement? I came back to this game after becoming fed up months ago with matchmaking forcing red ranks into my games despite me never reaching red rank on killer and only recently reaching rank 4…
-
Is Dead Hard still bugged?
I'm trying to figure out why I'm seeing so many uses of DH in my games and the best I can find is that it was bugged in Jan to be able to curve. I'm wondering if this is still the case? It also feels unfair that using it seems to allow you to clip through the killer, I've had multiple instances of survivors 180ing through…
-
what happened to killer-based matchmaking??
I just bought ghostface cause i've been wanting to try him out. I don't have a lot of bp saved up so he doesn't really have good perks yet, but I figured due to the change in matchmaking that puts new killers against newer survivors I'd have an ok time. Four ghostface games in a row there have been red ranks in my games.…

How do you close hatch when survivor is on it?
Multiple killer games have come down to both me and the last survivor both knowing where the hatch is and standing near it as the 3rd survivor died. In this scenario, how do I close the hatch before the survivor can escape? I've heard that there was a hatch grab mechanic previously, but it was removed? Is this always a…

Force crossplay or remove it entirely
I was really enjoying crossplay on pc, it was nice having my queue times reduced and my matches felt more balanced, despite the mmr fix completely failing previously. Now that it's been a bit tho, I can see that basically all the console players are reporting that they've turned off crossplay. Except of course the toxic…
-
Why is nurse basegame if she's so difficult?
I've been trying to play nurse because I want her teachables for other killers (thanatophobia and nurse's calling feel like they'd work great on legion) but she feels incredibly useless. I know that back in the day there were highly specialized nurse mains who were the top killer players on pc, but otherwise she's insanely…
-
Can we please select more than one tome challenge? Especially from older tomes?
As a new player, I have three tomes of challenges to do plus the current tome. And as I complete more challenges, more of them will become available. This in and of itself isn't a terrible thing, but many of the challenges are highly specific, and I'm tired of doing cool things in a game that would complete a challenge if…
-
Why is Spirit just a better Nurse?
I still feel new to this game and I've been trying out the nurse (mostly cause I need nurse's calling and thanatophobia teachables) and she just seems...bad. I know she used to be the best but idk why you would play her when spirit seems to do the same things, can win chases, and is overall way easier to play.
-
Killers should just stop playing til killer matchmaking is fixed
Every killer game I play (as a rank ~15) I am matched with at least one red rank, usually two or three. My killers only have around 100 levels total, and many of my perks are only rank 2 and not rank 3. I have very few teachable perks, so my killer builds are extremely basic. Being matched constantly with high rank…

Simple way to fix matchmaking - character ranks
It makes no sense that I'm the same rank playing a level 35 character as a level 1 character. Ranks should be tied to individual characters. Decide your character before you begin matchmaking. (optional: matchmaker refuses to put two of the same character in a game. Stops swf teams from being identical.) Then in the…

Is wiggling supposed to be more effective on different platforms?
I play on pc and my boyfriend plays on switch. We're both new so idk if it's that I'm not understanding something about the wiggle mechanic, if it's an issue of difference between controllers and m+k, or if wiggling is balanced different for different platforms but there's a marked difference between our experiences. He…
-
The new matchmaker shouldn't hide ranks. How will we know if it's fair?
Right now we know the matchmaker isn't working because yellow and brown killers are matched with purple and red survivors. My understanding is that a entirely new matchmaking engine is being implemented soon that will not rely on ranks and instead rely on a hidden mmr. This means that once the new matchmaker is…

Having 1 perk vs killers/vivors w/ 4 perks makes game uninviting for new players
I know matchmaking is hopefully going to be changed soon, but it can't come fast enough. I've just started and as killer I'm going against people in green/purple ranks and sometimes red who have 4 rank 3 perks while im stuck with 1 perk. I have low-quality addons and bad offerings while they have good items and good…
