  • Match starts and within second I notice Myers in the distance so I hide until he passes. Not too far away I notice he slows so obviously he begins stalking somebody else. I take the opportunity to make some distance between us, but NO! The person that is getting stalked sees that she is being stalked and sees me running off in the distance so what does she do? She follows me! So now Myers notices

  • I just got my gaming PC this week, but before, I played & enjoyed killer, I just couldn't get past rank 16 because my system sucked (All-in-one system.) In a chase as killer, I had between 8-15 FPS. Best I ever saw as survivor was 28 FPS. 15 was the norm. As a rank 16 killer, late evening, I was in a match with a red, two purple and one green rank. I barely touched them and didn't have a si

  • Just played a game where the survivors ran 2 shiny coins and 1 tarnished coin. Of course they found a key and 3 of them escaped (the last was already sacrificed.) There was 1 gen left and they had 3 gen'd themselves hard. Didn't matter that I had iridescent as gatekeeper. The key should not let 3 survivors escape.

  • As a survivor and I am on the hatch and it says "jump through hatch" and my character starts the animation I should be able to escape. But no a killer can come up mid animation and just slam it shut. Like ######### is this behavior? Killers can also body block the the action button but a survivor can't...? @Peanits

  • Since survivors usually take off the reverse bear traps pretty easily and quickly before they're even activated, wouldn't it make sense to "punish" them for doing it? I don't know much lore of saw, but I do know that the people in the "game" are punished for breaking rules... right? Correct me if I'm wrong. The pig is in need of buffs and I am just making a few rough ideas. Survivors being injur

  • Addressed "deadzone" reports in Autohaven Wreckers maps by promoting certain tiles to spawn more frequently than others. So can we get clarification on which tiles are spawning more 'frequently'? And define more frequently please. Are you going to have an extra 2 or 3 jungle gyms? Car/Pallet/Car tiles? T/L ? Which? At what rate? On which Autohaven variation? All of them? These things seem fa

  • I just wanted to create a thread for some questions that (seemingly) have been left unanswered. I'd like to start off with one that I have been asking myself quite a bit now: What is THE definition of balance, as in, what do you use to balance new perks and powers around? Is it killers being balanced around survivors(which would be the obvious one IMO as survivors are mechanically always t

  • What do you when no joke, 90% of your games, your teammates just stop playin? Game after game after game after game, all three teammates stop doing gens with 1-2 to go, and I'm the only person trying while injured. I die constantly because of this. I can't 1v1 the killer when no one else is doing anything. This is honestly most of my games and I'm so tired of being in unwinnable situations b

  • Ok, this is getting ridiculous. 10 minute lobbies as survivor during the evening (18:00 - 2:00) vs 3 second Killer lobbies. The issue is reversed during the morning and early afternoon. Killer takes 4-5 minutes to find a match. Why aren't there bonuses for playing underplayed roles? All normal games have this system in place so the game doesn't die. In MOBA games you get an exp boost at least

  • I had 2 matches recently where at the last moment in the lobby all the survivors switched to a single character. The first match was Claudettes and the second match was Bills. I try not to tunnel, but this was coordinated and they wore the same exact outfits too, and it was very difficult. I got a 4K with the Clauds and one Bill escaped through the hatch. I'm just wondering why do it? To reduce

  • I love playing steathy and being sneaky so the killer won't find me. Its intense to know that you could be found at anytime. But lately I feel the game is not allowing for more stealth opportunities. I don't wanna run the killer for 5 gens, others might find that really enjoyable but not me. There a multiple killer perks, addons and abilities that can easily locate survivors trying to hide taking

  • I'm a rank 7 killer. Today, I played a match against rank 5's and 6's and to be honest, I thought I was playing against rank 16's. I've heard people talk that the old ranking system was much harder. What was different about it? The current system is clearly broken and doesn't tell you much.

  • Recently I've been in matches as both killers and survivors where people quit before the actual match starts and I lose both offerings and add ons. Not just that but i really wish the devs had a system where they can tell if it was a rage quit or if i genuinely lagged out of my session because they matchmaking lock isn't exactly fair if i honestly didn't quit the game or if my PS$ bluescreens or

You could say i'm just not that good but really, survivors complain when you run super meta perks but if you change any of them you're just going to lose and get teabag. Killer isn't even f

  • (Inb4 "Just bring franklins 4head") Been a lot of key gamers recently since the mori nerf, probably since they know keys will be nerfed soon and that the mori nerf was a massive red flag. Maybe they should've been changed at the same time to avoid this exact issue happening. Anyway, I've seen quite the varying playstyles with them. I've seen people get a 3 man escape out of a 3 gen with a key t

  • So apparently if you get hacked any punishment is your fault. I'm not going to explain any of this for if I actually discuss the reason behind it ill break the forum rules. But @RandomKid i am sorry you had to deal with that utter drivel and I wish that some people had better rules. But I also suggest you dont talk about it anymore.

  • At higher ranks, SWF on comms is annoying as hell (and typically toxic), but lobby's where there is a mix are really fair and fun. I want to challenge the community: Design a perk that is very good against SWF but bad against a mix of solo survivors. Let me know what you come up with!

  • After putting alot of time into the twins and against them, I've noticed a large amount of survivors who still think it is a smart idea to try and "deny" Charlotte of her brother. This tactic is terrible and people need to stop doing it. If you decide to not remove Victor from your shoulders, all you are doing is basically going afk. It only takes 30 seconds before Charlotte can recall him, so y

  • What DEVs did to Wraith was counterproductive as it turned out. He became even more viable against lower rank potatos who can't loop, but stays very week vs stronger survivors. I 4k also every game until rank 8-7, unless I play vs a good SFW team but in higher ranks he is just not viable compared to other killers. Wraith invisibility doesn't help him vs good loopers, but it totally screws up pot

  • I've seen the posts Ruin+Undying+Tinkerer lame. No skill. To easy. But don't they fail to realize the counters and flaws. Tinkerer stealth is easily countered by Spine Chill you can swap dead hard for one perk. Bone problems bring a map. Don't have a map okay run Detectives or Small game. You can still bring DS, BT, UB. I know most Survivors have realized and changed to the meta. But I sigh sadly

  • please catch up to us in terms of skill and game knowledge. -urban exasion is a rubbish perk. hiding gives 0 value to your team. You don't get bloodpoints for it so go figure. Thats why you have 5K at the end of a 20 minute game. -When you get hit by a killer. Sprinting towards a hooked survivor for a YOLO isnt smart play. -you could probably help save someone instead of insta running out the
