The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Why I hate double bloodpoint events...

Who would hate double xp right?? Well I do. The main reason being that the lobby wait time for killer is so ridiculous it’s maddening. I have friends who purposely depipped to rank 15 just to get fast games for the event. I remained at rank 1 because I didn’t feel like depipping but man should I have done it. 

The devs should just remove the ranking system all together. This isn’t even a competitive game anyways due to balance issues and that’s fine. But it causes major issues for rank 1 killers like myself

    Very unfriendly towards new players.
    And making a change that's obviously unfriendly towards new players just isn't gonna happen.

    I guess screw the veteran killers who want to play but can’t because the lobby time is absurd.

    Deranking SHOULD NOT be the solution, killers just kill low skill survivors' games by doing that. Stating that, I can't blame them, I didn't get out of the purple ranks myself because I know that I am not gonna find games in red ranks.

    There is nothing to fix, people prefer playing killer especially on bloodpoint events because it is easier to get points with killers. Ratio is not 1 to 4 so neither BHVR nor players can solve it unfortunately.

    This event has been ######### garbage so far.

    Every game burning springwood. Its a pain with spirit since scratch marks are broke, audio is broke, and fathers glasses dont work in the grass, but most importantly survivors run to that stupid maze under the school when they're going to go down knowing full well its a boring pain in the ass and that THERE ARE NO BLOODY HOOKS!!!

    They're taking decisive and even boil over just to make it a pain in the ass to hook them.

    I dont think ive ever felt so salty whilst winning. Its not a fun challenge, its just a tedious chore. Running around their stupid blind spots and sturggling to get them to a hook every time.

    How about the devs get off their ass and add a ######### hook down there? Or just make the basement spawn there every time?

    to be fair i im rank 13 (i havent played a lot of killer for a while) and end up playing against lots of people people from red and purple ranks so the ranking system doesnt mean much to me. also rainbow 6 siege is incredibly broken but is considered a competitive game and the balancing in this isnt that bad.

    Rank resets are dumb and the crux of this issue.

    I hate rank resets because I drop down and end up smashing people that are new and just trying to learn and enjoy the game, maybe explore around and have a fighting chance at living.

    And then me, a previously rank 1 killer, comes in and bulldozes 5 random newbies. :|

    This event has been ######### balls for me.

    ######### springwood and ######### whoever designed it. If survivors arent burning offerings then its coming up out of chance anyway.

    Had it 4 times so far and every ######### time you cant hook them because they all run downstairs and the hatch spawns there but interestingly the basement never does.

    Just another bonus for survivors I guess. Free wins. To go along with their purple keys they're pulling out of chests.

    ######### garbage game.

    It makes me laugh, it's the same people constantly complaining about the game. If I had this many issues with a game I certainly wouldn't play it anymore, I think it's time they move on.

    It's frustrating man. All I want to do is my objective but there's no sodding hooks nearby lol

    They fixed the Thompson house. Don't see why this can't be fixed.

    I can't think of any other game that shafts you when you're trying to do your objective like this.

    Killers are where the BP is at. I wated 22 minutes for a match that took 8 minutes. 4K and got over 200k bp in that match (2 BPS', Chili, Pudding, ToH). Played 3 matches as survivor, each with 2 BPS in the next 30 minutes, got less than 120k. Do the math.

    Want to fix these events? Fix survivor BP. Simple survivors should be earning more bp anyways. A match with a face camper gets you less than 10k if you got caught right off the bat, even on double bp weekend.

    So ya. Want killer times to be fixed? Don't buff survivors, just buff their bp potential.

    This is the fatal flaw in the game. Easy fix - If fall back more than one category (red, purple, green, etc) of rank, you suffer penalties to speed, or perhaps you only get one rank slot. Keeps highly skilled players from farming new players. Otherwise, it becomes a choke point that discourages new players, and the player pool begins to grow stale. Then the game dies.

    Just sayin....

    The devs should just remove the ranking system all together. This isn’t even a competitive game anyways due to balance issues and that’s fine. But it causes major issues for rank 1 killers like myself 

    What are the balance issues you are referring to?

    Pallets... Lack of hooks.... dodgy auto aim... randomly spawning infinite window loops are a new one that I have seen more of lately. There loads more I'm sure, and that's just from the killers POV. I'm sure the has to be a lot of stuff survivors have to put up with as well, like slugging, hitboxs over fences and outside windows. It is moronic quite frankly.

    Rank resets are dumb and the crux of this issue.

    I hate rank resets because I drop down and end up smashing people that are new and just trying to learn and enjoy the game, maybe explore around and have a fighting chance at living.

    And then me, a previously rank 1 killer, comes in and bulldozes 5 random newbies. :|

    Didnt know that you could "bulldozes" 5 newbies in a game. POG

    This is the fatal flaw in the game. Easy fix - If fall back more than one category (red, purple, green, etc) of rank, you suffer penalties to speed, or perhaps you only get one rank slot. Keeps highly skilled players from farming new players. Otherwise, it becomes a choke point that discourages new players, and the player pool begins to grow stale. Then the game dies.

    Just sayin....

    To be fair there are a number of people deranking on both sides. Or green rank swf will have a red rank designated looper playig with them. So maybe it evens out.

    This event has been [BAD WORD] balls for me.

    [BAD WORD] springwood and [BAD WORD] whoever designed it. If survivors arent burning offerings then its coming up out of chance anyway.

    Had it 4 times so far and every [BAD WORD] time you cant hook them because they all run downstairs and the hatch spawns there but interestingly the basement never does.

    Just another bonus for survivors I guess. Free wins. To go along with their purple keys they're pulling out of chests.

    [BAD WORD] garbage game.

    Springwood is a good map because Survivors have fun on it. ######### Killers. They were lucky to get the nerfs to healing and Exhaustion. Same with the increased amount of keys. Survivors think it's fun. Killers should consider themselves extremely lucky that their boxes were also updated.

    I Ok, ypu need to stop... This game is for adults, presumably the kind who have played a video game before. There is no rule that new players are entitled to a welcome wagon and snuggles in their games. At this point, anyone JUST getting into the game knows what they signed up for, and it wasn't to be coddled.

    Now granted, I hate rank reset too... because Ranks should not exist in a game that is not trully competitive in the first place. An assymetrical horror game does not scream "sport center" to me. The other problem is ranks and other fairly intangible rubrics are used to decide how weak and how strong something should be, because it must be prefaced with the illusion of balance in mind. If we could just get rid of the idea that a game where you can't possibly be properly prepared or adjusted for, at any given time, what killer you go against, what map you get,  and other factors including perks and addons is supposed to be a competitively balanced game, then this game would be all the better for it and we could worry about things that are fun on both sides and accentuating those features, rather than focusing on the imbalances we don't like. 

    Camping and looping will always be in the game. So will D-strike and NOED. They aren't always fun to go against, but they are fun for those on the using end. I say that if there were enough fun, exciting, possibly risky ideas thrown into both sides, it would make the frustrations of this game pale compared to the fun factor.

    Settle grettle, It's only a game

    It makes me laugh, it's the same people constantly complaining about the game. If I had this many issues with a game I certainly wouldn't play it anymore, I think it's time they move on.

    We do.

    Why do you think nobody has heard of Dead by Daylight this long after its inception?

    Why do you think so many other games are trying to copy the format but just can't get it right?

    Why do games like warframe, heroes of the storm, lol, red dead, hell....even crap like Destiny...make a crap ton of money?

    Polish and balance.

    I love playing this game and think it is very fun, but dealing with adolescent drama after/during each match just isn't worth it. There is a world of more polished games out there begging for your money where I don't have to deal with childish goobers.

    Thee developers get my money. And I spend that crap ton on them, not dbd.

    Until we get matchmaking changes next year, im out of the game, there are others which are worth my time, not this lobby simulator and survivor sided BS!

    Okay, you went on wild tangent there. My point is that I should be facing veterans, even at lower ranks, since everyone gets reset so often. I'm constantly facing lobbies of randoms where 1-2 people having only the base perks, or mixed tiers of the shared perks, and it's clear in-game that they're not seasoned in the slightest.

    It isn't fun to 5-gen survivors, it really isn't. I know that's what people like Marth88 wanted, but there's no challenge in it. I resort to playing with my food, slugging people on their last hooks just to draw it out. I'm not someone that HAS to 4K every game, and I'm fine with 2-3K and a hatch escape. (Granted, I wish this sort of thing didn't hinge on how long Ruin lasts.)

    The veterans will keep leaving the game as long as high-lvl gameplay is unfun and unbalanced.

    Very unfriendly towards new players.

    And making a change that's obviously unfriendly towards new players just isn't gonna happen.

    I guess screw the veteran killers who want to play but can’t because the lobby time is absurd. 

    Your lobby times would be even worse in a couple months if all new players were turned off of the game by unbalanced matches.

    Real talk though, I think it's mostly a sign of the bloodpoint gains between the two sides. It's far too easy for killers (or hard for survivor, depending on how you want to look at it) to get bloodpoints, and because of that, everyone flocks to one side. If it were more evenly distributed you wouldn't have an imbalance of players between the two sides.

    Survivor isn't so bad. Run wglf and saboteur with a toolbox. If you don't want to commit to that just bring a toolbox and sabo hooks for BP.
