Survivor escape rates vs killer win rates, a bit of math to understand why the devs are right.
edit: To make this a bit more fun. I've written an app in javascript so anyone can play with the escape rate in a graphical environment. The app is at: — Original post — It shouldn't be so difficult to grasp, but apparently it is. Here are the measured escape rates offered by BHVR: These are averages. In essence, the mean…

Cheaters are getting no my nerves.
Yesterday, first Onryo match since forever: one (or two) teleporters. Today I get flashed trough the shack wall by a survivor behind a rock. (And I forgot to start OBS) We really need better reporting.

Subconscious drive for the win?
I usually play the game in total silence with a very good headset accurate enough to let me hear a survivor breathing. But today I was only doing the rift for the event so I wasn't playing seriously. I was on Discord speaking with friends while playing as killer. After all, getting only five pallets or a few hooks is…

At first, the event tome shows the last level?
Have you noticed that whenever you get to the tome first, it selects the icon of the first level but show you the 3rd one?

A kind of ideal survivor.
There is this guy, a streamer I believe even if I only watch him on youtube. I've learned about him because he has 1vs1 Otzdarva a while ago. I thought he was impressive. After getting so far away he lost the famous streamer, he went back to him. The guy is always calm and respectful. Nothing seems to disturb him. And he's…

I see many complain about survivor, exodus, the usual stuff ...
Yet when I try to play as survivor I give up, still in the queue, after a few minutes (and a connection bonus of 75%) My killer queues are instant. I've tried many of them: my main as some I only played for the first time today. There is so much of a survivor exodus I can't get a slot.

Forum feature: follow list?
We already have an ignore list. What would you think having a follow list or something of that effect? I use the ignore list so I don't have to read posts from people that I've found incapable of reasoning, distorting meaning, attacking the poster instead of the idea, needlessly rude, … Given how polarized some discussions…

Killer bots? Did I miss that?
Found on this page: Survivor bots passed Flashlight training, unfortunately we found blinding killer bots was ineffective. They will now lose location prediction when blinded. There are killer bots in the main game now?

The increase/decrease of MMR value should take teammates into account.
When I play survivor, it's almost always solo. However a little while ago, I've played with "Discord friends", one of which had never played before. It didn't go well, obviously. The others were a bit more experienced (around 500 hours I believe). I've got thousands of hours myself. I'm afraid the streak of losses we've…

Is it just me or there is a steep increase of the auto-misses?
a.k.a "aim dressing" I so often get turned into a wall when going straight, or simply hitting "wood" in the middle of nowhere (when I'm right on the survivor) that I'm wondering if something new is bugged, or if I'm encountering a new kind of cheat.

2vs8 : having to pick-up survivors and fear flash-light? The killer queue size is solved.
I've just watched the "live". There are many new things I don't like but that one will keep me out. One of the best things of 2vs8 was to NOT have to pick-up survivors : just press a button and go on with the frenzy. Now a good team will just serial-blind the killer. yay

The Chaos Shuffle modifier is quite enjoyable.
Every match is different. I'm (re)discovering perks I've seldom used. I can never guess what teammates or opponents will be able to do. It's way more interesting that the normal mode. Most games are pretty chill too. (Some are absolutely not, granted, but I usually can answer in kind.)

We will offer 1 Million Bloodpoints for any unused Offerings
Thanks but … do you have any idea how many of these I have stored since 2019? I have only used one or two since I've started playing. Could we accelerate the web auto-spending to, say, instant? Otherwise some of us will wait for hours on that thing.

Survivors: your hooks stages are a resource. Spend them for your team.
During a recent match, a survivor has spent his time hiding from the killer. When his 3 teammates where dead, he got the hatch. Then, like the fool he was, he gloated about it in the the chat. A true facepalm moment. I wonder if, one day, he'll understand that if instead of hiding he'd took a few chases, then maybe the…

So basically, Chaos-Shuffle is almost "perk-less"?
If everybody has weak, small-effect, short-lived perks, it's almost like playing without anything. Any ETA solving this? The bug report currently shows "under review".

EAC at it again.
So like a few days ago, EAC is giving me some error. This time I took a screenshot. Naturally, I've looked at the incriminated file and did an sha256sum of it: 5584785a9887f5159ff5f3f47b15bd42ff97039681804a84e623cfedb9aec64c pakchunk3052-Windows.utoc I asked Steam to verify the cache and after the operation, I've looked at…

Lights-out rift done. Not touching it again.
So given there was a rift for it, I've played the Light-out mode, as Dredge. To avoid the ridiculous 60 seconds BT, I've simply slugged a lot. I've played maybe 15 matches. I've lost the first one (which made me decide to slug), got one draw and won all the other ones. Nobody had any fun but I've got all the collectibles…

EAC file integrity error?
I've not played since the last update. I come back tonight and I got a message about files being modified. I don't even use "graphical filters" (I don't recall the name of that stuff.) However, I've checked the integrity of the files and got: Note that I'm playing on Linux (have been for months). Weird.

If survivors don't progress the gens or any other objective for a couple of minute ...
there should be a killer instinct giving their general direction. I'm kind of fed up of the games where the last two survivors hide on corners of the map dropping and picking up their item in a loop to avoid the crows. That several minutes wasted every time, first looking around the gens, then in the basement, in the…

Information for Linux players. Apparently random loss of game window focus while playing.
I've been on Linux for a long time and recently I've started to have issues. While playing, my window was losing focus, which was of course infuriating. Today I've found the culprit. Steam notifications popping and making the notifier window blinking was stealing focus. I've disabled any notification in Steam and got no…

Dracula, one week later.
After a week, what's your opinion about the killer? Too strong? Too weak? Just right? (Unlikely but who knows?) I'm curious about the opinion from both sides of the hook.

By hook or crook is bugged?
I've hooked 3 survivors during the same minute and it only counted for 1.

Forums: quoting often breaks and needs to be tried several times.
Platform: many different computers. When I try to quote someone on the forum, the first quote of a thread will often work but if then I post my reply and try to quote someone else then I'll be sent to the edit box without the quote. Steps: Quote someone. Post the reply. Quote someone else. See the text window has no quote.…

Slugging can be the preferred move ... in the opinion of survivors.
I read about slugging complains. However, in my experience, most survivor prefer being slugged for minutes than the alternative. Case in point: in this match, it was clear to me this night team stood little chance against me, even if Mikaela was very good at jukes, the others lacked her experience. They had the right idea…

So that's the BM "everybody" is talking about?
For the past few months, I seldom had a bad word in the end game chat. I was only reminded of the existence of BMs because of the forums. Tonight, I've experienced that side. Insults, salt, called a camper or a tunneler when I did nothing of the sort. (Having a full team on death hook doesn't seem to be a factor here.)…

Do not try to bribe the killer if you aren't the last survivor standing.
It's not fair for the others who are still trying. As far as I'm concerned, a survivor who doesn't give up, good or bad, is getting priority for the hatch.
-
Thank you so much for making the 2nd 2vs8 rift doable survivor mode only.
Instead of waiting for 15 minutes for a game that may be equally good or miserable, I can play easy mode to finish it. 😁

Is "patch or dispatch" broken?

About the developer update ...
A lot of interesting stuff, with a couple of remarks: "Hook Stages" : the first thing that comes to mind isn't "yay, more time against campers" but "gens-before-friends is now more powerful". "Midwich" : Improved verticability, sure, but also offering a neat hiding spot. I liked these walls closed for a reason. On the…

Taking a break from 1vs8
This mode desperately needs an MMR. Since yesterday something has changed in my matches. I'm systematically grouped with somebody who has decided to learn Huntress (and probably killer) on 2vs8. Survivors have finally found that doing gens in parallel at all costs without ever healing (aka tunneling for survivors, except…

I've finally managed to lose killer games in 2vs8.
And to do it, instead of playing with a random killer, I've played with a friend who has never played killer and hasn't played DbD since the Trickster was released. After we lost a few games (but still had a lot of fun) he stopped and I went back to solo-Q and resumed winning games with 7 or 8 kills. This to say: if you…
-
After playing both sides, I don't believe 2vs8 is unbalanced.
From the killer point of view, I've won all my matches where both killers were decent and lost off my matches where the other killer was beginner (tried with a friend who only knew survivor) The won matches often went down to the last gen but progressively killing survivors was too much even for the best players I've…

Five years ago, I've put the Nurse aside after my first game with her.
Who would play with that asthmatic slow killer? Tonight I've finally past the 40000 registered blink attacks. Yay 🎉

A several hours stream of 2vs8 from the eyes of everybody's favorite Pig main.
Well, at least Scorpionz was the streamer I was watching when I was learning pig back then. There are survivor and killer matches. It clearly shows how lobbies are made and how the game plays. As far as I'm concerned it answered everything I was still curious to know. The Nurse + Huntress combo seems pretty nice. (Two…

Matchmaking is weird ... sometimes.
Yes, yes, I know, some of you will say it's broken and it never works … Except for me, most of the time, it kind of works. (As killer, as solo Q it sucks plain and simple.) I'll get an average lobby (based both on their prestige in the 50ies and the way they play) and when I wipe them out, I get a p100 lobby that forces me…

What's the exclamation mark on the new portraits?

Was "The Unknown" a great killer all along?
I've finally started to play The Unknown. I've spent some bloodpoint and used a build I'm using on another killer. I expected to get my backside kicked while I'm learning its powers. My first match went better than expected as I had no idea what his powers were: a 4K with decently prestiged players. Naturally, after a win,…

An interesting survivor build. I don't believe it's META at all.
I've just versed a survivor who had some distinct advantage over his teammates as I had a lot of trouble finding him. Basically all the teammates had been hooked twice when I finally found him. Iron Will + Lightweight + Premonition were the key perks. The fourth was Weaving Spiders. No visible trackmarks, almost silent…

We are in July, when is the 2 vs 8?
I'm kind of eager to try it.

Hilarious ...
I just played a trial where the survivors were pretty average but very very cocky. They were at 5 gens and 3 hooks and they were still tea-bagging and taunting me. 😂 Incredible.
