What in the (bad word) is going on in dbd

You might want to read your post or actually put summit in it about devs coz there in no dev word in it maybey you need to word it better

I would say yes, because it requires an action that slows down your gameplay and pressure- which is to literally stop moving and reposition yourself. There are plenty of ways a killer could lose their heartbeat and run a stealthy build- I'd suggest running some youtube searches on killer stealth builds and checking them out, for context. Hope this helps!

He probably was running Tinkerer. That's why others have said you need to keep your eyes open.

It triggers when a gen reaches 70%. So while you can't say for certain it's the likely answer.

I understand why it feels that way when you're starting out. But perks give lots of advantages on both sides. Try playing killer a bit until you go against a SWF group and you'll see how effectively survivors can counter killers abilities and perks. The biggest edge survivors have over the killer is communication, being in multiple places at once, and between them they have 16 perks so they can have a lot more veritility as a group than the killer

I mean I wouldn't have made it to rank 1 as a solo survivor if I wasn't aware of my surroundings. If you really find heart beats and stealth hard to adapt to use spine chill. It gives alot of information with no downsides so you can safely urban evade to the next pallet or get ready to run to a safer spot. And the devs would have to rework every single perk/add ons that have an affect on terror radius or undetectable status. I don't think they'll do that. And to answer your question ghost face doesn't really need tinkerer if he has a stealth ability. He can use it to save his power and maybe use it when tinkerer runs out so yes he becomes stealthier. But be more aware of your surrounds or bring spine chill and adapt to the situation.

Well, there's a lot of debate on that. Originally, the game didn't have SWF and was balanced around survivors not being able to communicate.

Then they added SWF, which was good because without the ability to play with friends the game was dying. They didn't give anyone the ability to communicate in SWF either, but they couldn't do anything at all about survivors communicating on their phones, party chat, discord or by other means. So they decided to say "its not agsinst the rules to communicate".

But that left them with a huge balance issue, because communication is very powerful. SWF groups would always roll over killers, so over the years they've worked on balancing the game so that killers stand a chance against sweaty SWF groups while still not leaving solo survivors unable to win.

Honestly, the skill gap between SWF and solo will always cause a balance issue at all ranks unless they level the board by adding an in game chat. But it takes away from the immersion and killers would need buffs to account for the increased survivor coordination. The community is pretty split as how to handle this issue, as there is no perfect solution.

If you want my personal opinion, I feel like the game should have a proximity chat. Survivors could still use discord of course, but i feel like a lot less would because either they have a solo person in the match they want to talk to, or because they want to play the game as intended.

Proximity voice chat: Survivors can hear other survivors (or even the killer) talk if within 32 meters, but the killer can hear survivors only within 16-24 meters. The reason the killer can hear survivors talk is for balancing reasons, but he cant hear as far so the survs can warn each other if they know he's coming.

There could be offerings or even a new item like a walkie talkie that let you talk to each other from farther away, and add ons that let you talk to other survivors anywhere on the map, can see the aura of who's talking, decrease the distance the killer can hear, or even special ones that let you throw your voice to confuse the killer. So much potential! I may make a full post about it.

There is a no terror radius bug with a couple of killers right now. I've run into it with hillbilly and with an oni who was using monitor and abuse. He didn't have chase music and what seemed to be a 4m terror radius.

Leatherface's saw also is randomly silent sometimes.

I made a post about it before, Apex Muffler either removes hillbilies terror radius entirely or it makes his saw silent while you're in his terror radius due to a bug right now.

Is it really that far fetched that killer HB is bugged? At this point I wouldnt be surprised.
