Meatball is, simply not fun.
Gave the Singularity an honest attempt tonight and he is just not fun to play as. Biopods are extremely confusing. You have next to NOTHING to get your bearings when using the cameras. It's the single most confusing thing Iv ever played in DbD where Im having to 2nd guess I even went into the right camera. And there's good…

(Rant) I can't unsee this ever again with the Dredge's mouth.
Minor background, I dabble into 3d modeling for a hobby or as commissions and just can not unsee how the Dredge has a crease in his mouth. Dbd's art team is normally rather good with their work and overall designs, but this is just really distracting. Dredge has a couple of other odd design choices. Such as the several…

Does the Dead Hard change effect using it around pallets?
Current DH works by making a Survivor immune to damage for .5 of a second and gains up to a 200% speed boost during that time. That short dash is what allowed Survivors to DH for distance to reach a window or pallet and effectively reset a chase. The changed DH gives a Survivor the Endurance effect for 1 second without any…

Dredge is a somewhat workable hit&run Killer!
It might just be low MMR from me not playing that often, or at all in the last several months, combined with Survivors not really understanding Dredge that well yet. But so far Dredge is working out as a reasonable hit&run Killer. Current build is Perks Sloppy Butcher, Thana, Pop, and Darkness Revealed Preferred add-ons…

Can we please not be sent to the same map multiple times in a row?
There are 35 maps in DbD and there is no reason to be sent to the same map 2 times in a row. There isn't any reason to be sent to the same map realm 2 times in a row! But the map RNG just seems to love doing constant repeats. Last session I got sent to both RPD and Pale Rose TWICE in maybe 6 games total. Today I got the…

You want BP, play the game.
It's as simple as that. If you want BP, you gotta earn it. Last few games have been rather bad at Survivors wanting to farm and be given BP rather than playing the game. I burn cakes, take it somewhat easy, play weaker Killers, give hatch/gate to the last man (more so if they have a crown), and try to give good games in…

Think Nemmy gave Killers another meta.
The perks Eruption and Lethal Pursuit are simply doing WORK for me at the moment. Combo those with BBQ plus Pop and you have one hell of a build. LP for early game info. Likely THE most important time for Killers and LP allows almost any Killer to go directly to the biggest group of Survivors and start pressure instantly.…

PC servers acting up for anyone else?
Today I have been getting some inexpiable lag. I keep task manager open to monitor my net data and for some reason my download rates will have a single micro drop every 40 or so seconds. But the upload data flow is near perfect and at a constant. In game (as Killer) I'll see Survivors teleport or simply vanish, their…

Did a recent Windows update screw anyone else's FPS?
Windows updated this morning and it seemed to have ruined my FPS. Before I ran at a locked 100 FPS on a GTX 2080 and a i7 7700k. Never dipped below 100 FPS at all but for maybe reaching 95 at rare moments or in a loading screen. But after this Windows update I am stuttering like nothing else. Going from 80 to 60 constantly…

First impressions of the PTB. Killer changes.
Billy is gonna drop to C tier, maybe a low B with these changes. Tested without add-ons and it takes 40% heat to simply start a chainsaw sprint. That means Billy will have a total of 2 attempts to land a chainsaw hit ebfore an overheat. 2 back rev attempts. Go for a mindgame or wait for a curve and you will likely have…

Why not just make a sequel?
DbD is 4 years old now and it has had MASSIVE amounts of changes since it launched. Some good, some bad, some questionable. A game should change with the times but sooner or later those changes add up into turning the game into an abomination. So many little things adding up that the game just breaks for one reason or…

Having some BAD FPS problems for the last few days.
Thinking it is due to updating to Nvidia's 451.48 GeForce drivers. But something is broken here. Im running an i7 7700k CPU and a RTX 2080, before FPS counts was locked at 100. There wasn't a hitch to be seen or felt outside of first load of the day. But now Im constantly going from 60-90 FPS and it looks like hell while…

The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Calling it now.
I believe this teaser hints towards The Creature from the Black Lagoon and I am going to, attempt, to detail why. TLDR- It boils down to more or less this clip. Focus on how the water looks overall and what shapes the actress takes at the 2 minute mark then compare that to the teaser above. Long details- I need to explain…

They in no way nerfed what made the Executioner strong. (long post)
Being unable to see the aura of cages is a minor nerf at best. And a cage being relocated when you are near isn't anything of note either, this can be a minor/random buff in fact. The bulk of what makes the Executioner strong is his ranged attack, the time he saves not hooking or stalling Survivor pathing, and being able…

Steam achievement oddities.
I randomly happened to check the global unlock %s for steam achievements and noticed something I didn't expect when checking out Killer achievements. Oni is likely the least played Killer by a decent margin. Bloodbath, downing 75 Survivors with Blood Fury, sits at a .5% unlock. That feels rather odd to me seeing how easy…

A (maybe bad) idea about the new chapter.
The font of the 4 should be a hint to who the Killer is much like how the 3 in the 3rd year logo hinted to Ghostface. But I simply can't think of anything off of the font alone. So I started to think of the other details. Gold. Gold is everywhere in the logo. The 4 is made of gold, the background is gold covered over in…

Why do Killer powers need server confirmation?
An honest question to the devs, mods, or anyone that can reason it. Why do Killer powers need server confirmation? Ever since DbD went from p2p to servers all Killers have had their powers act oddly or simply break due to needing server confirmation. Billy has it harder to flutter his chainsaw. Demo and Nurse can often…

Maybe matchmaking itself isn't broke?
Maybe other things are breaking matchmaking? SWF is in part to blame for matchmaking being broke at the moment since it was changed to match based off the highest ranking member and rank reset no longer resetting past a single tier. This is a combo that drains mid/low ranks of its playerbase to the point of almost non…

Reminder. Demogorgon is still a Killer worth playing.
Just because there is a new kid on the block doesn't mean you all should forget about our little meat flower child. The Demogorgon is still (in my opinion) very much a fun Killer to play as/against and one that is viable for most ranks. Can Demo be looped? Yeah, all Killers can be looped. But the Demo has a unique…

Can you keep/hold Sprint Burst still?
(cross post from the Steam forums) I thought they fixed that. Being able to hold your exhaustion at 99% in order to use Sprint Burst on demand. But I just got out of a game with someone who just manually used Sprint Burst, twice. Both times he started running in a full sprint and the moment I got close enough for a lunge…
-
Should Survivors need to use more items?
One of the main differences between Survivor and Killer is how much they need to use their items/add-ons. Killers need to use add-ons every single game or they will be far weaker. A Killer without add-ons just often isn't worth playing outside of low ranks. You'll find yourself lacking one way or another constantly and…

Spine Chill can be countered.
There is a number of posts about how Spine Chill now counters all Killers in the game and is due to be meta. It is a rather decent perk and is able to do a lot for Survivors, but it is one that fell OUT of meta once before. Spine Chill once was a pure meta perk, so why did it stop being meta? Killers can counter Spine…

Does the Demogorgon movement feel, off?
In every game I play as the Demogorgon moving about the map just feels slighting, wrong. I can't really explain it too well with just being a maybe made up feeling. But I am constantly getting caught on stuff as the Demogoron. Clipping the edges of objects, running into door frames, and even missing what should be easy M1…

The Demogorgon is slightly ruined for me.
Every time I hear the Demogorgon's passive sounds, stuns, or roars it constantly sounds like the Shrieker from Tremors. Even his footsteps sound kinda close to those things.

Any reason Racnor doesn't trigger with EGC?
NOED, Adrenaline, Hope, most all perks that trigger when either gens are finished or gates powered (same thing really) also trigger when EGC is started by closing the hatch. But for some reason Rancor doesn't. Got a Mori daily on Freddy and as he is only level 15 I didn't have a Mori offering at the time. So I thought Id…

Is it possible to alter the map RNG based on what Killer it is?
Anything is possible, but could that be a thing in DbD? Having what Killer is played determine the map's RNG in pallet spawns, tile setups, ect? In thinking of how DbD could be better balanced I had an idea that a universal map RNG isn't really working. Nurse can do well near anywhere but other Killers often fall behind…
-
Why I like the buffed Ghost.
Instead of the basic stickied yes/no question, Id like to give a reason to why I like the updated Ghost. In short. He is a threat to Survivors if they don't play against "him" and his power instead of just treating Ghost as another Killer. Trapper, Pig, Wraith, Plague, Legion, ANY Killer that needs to default to M1 can all…

The Steam forums need a rework.
Likely not the best place to say this and should be saying this, again, in the Steam forums themselves. But I have to let it be known just how far behind the Steam forums are. The "News and Announcements" page, DbD's default discussions page, hasn't had an updated post or new post at all since September 2018. Over 8 months…
