I do not see another important change, the 10 seconds more to the gene is nothing and they nerfed the top 5 skills for killer ando surv. Complaining survivors don't like to know what their true level is, I play 50/50 and I'm fine. Nothing has changed SWF>KILLER>SOLOQ67 comments 1,351 views last activity

This new patch gave me hope, that I can give up on full gen slowdown build with M1 killers. So I brought Hex Third Seal, Undying, Montrous shrine, Pentimento build on Piggie Over 3 games I had one kill. Looping with M1 killer is kinda the same. There is very little improvement in that aspect. I might be a terrible killer (in that case I shouldn’t go against those survivors) Did you guys try5 comments 81 views last activity

With DS you get Into a chase and get downed and fight back like a horror movie... OTR Is just you taking another hit and extending chase which Is great but DS felt like an actual horror game perk. DS had counter-play and In endgame was a game changer It made the game exciting. If you are able to keep your DS In endgame why take that away it was a battle to escape and was so exciting.

Guys, what perks survivors you're up against are using now? Well I know, survivors didn't come up with new meta yet, but the one perk that I was actually expecting a lot in the games is BT... And I don't see it. Like AT ALL. I don't see much OTR either, and only 1 DS from... 15 matches, and suddenly, no lightweight, no hope? What I do see a lot is boons. Literally. 2 or all 4 survivors in match20 comments 331 views last activity

Before getting into the main post, the amount of people ignoring the reasonable things survivors are upset about and instead going "Oh boy, their DH is gone so they mad, cri baby survivor" is just, absolutely astonishing. Like you do realize not every survivor relied on DH and some of the people who did run it, probably ran it for one match to do a Tome challenge. But sure, every survivor and the25 comments 352 views last activity

If anything it made it worst. With gen time increased and perks like thanatophobia improved, is just easier for killers to camp, and they are still doing it a loooot. The 5 seconds endurance and 7% haste are completely useless and easily counterable. These changes were a horrible mistake and camping is just worst. 3 out of 5 matches, killer is a pathetic camper.0 comments 31 views last activity

I really don't like in the pregame and endgame lobby the main thing we see is "MEG THOMAS", "DWIGHT FAIRFIELD" or "ONI". Whether it be when I'm playing as survivor or killer I really hate this change. Can we just make it an option to revert it back to before this patch? I just want to be see the players name easily.6 comments 171 views last activity

I see a lot of people complaining about the patch which, most of the time happens. However the scale of complaints is quite larger than normal and I can't really tell why. Is it cause Dead Hard? I know a LOT of people used dead hard and it was a very strong perk so maybe it's survivors are getting put in a mmr range that they shouldn't be in? Is it cause a "meta change" happened and maybe there n92 comments 1,111 views last activity

The perk exists solely to counter boon users however what happens if no one even brings or uses boons during the trial? Suddenly you've wasted a whole perkslot (25% of your power) on something non-existing. Do you know any other perks in this game which are this hard of a hit or miss?

First time poster long time forum surfer and I see a lot of negativity surrounding so many aspects of the game, and I used to agree with a lot of them until I changed 1 thing.... Stop playing to win.

Before the update i had some great hard matches but after the patch i keep having very easy games also if i win 4k 5 games in a row. What is happened? MMR is off ? i'm not the only one experiencing this5 comments 101 views last activity

Maybe this is only a naive thinking of mine, but I truly believe one of the main problems is how wins and losses are defined in this game. I am, or was, a survivor main (did only play a few games after the anniversary, probably will play again when the Halloween event is here), and although it really frustrated me or my teammate being tunneled out of the game at 5 gens or being camped, I actually4 comments 61 views last activity

Hello. I've gotten the charm for the end of the first page and, although a fun design, cannot help but to be disappointed by its being 2D? I've always enjoyed the charm morphing through the levels, taking on new twists and additional animations. Is this likely to continue through the levels? If so, is this a one off, or are we looking at a downgrade on the rift charms? Thanks!0 comments 31 views last activity

So I had to play a couple killer matches to see how the new patch played out. 1st match as trapper. 3k on haddonfield. Build: Merciless storm, STBFL, Brutal, Pain res Addons: Blody coils, Green setting tools. Offering: Flan Didn't tunnel or camp anyone. Didn't even trap any hooks. I managed to close the hatch and trapped both exit gates but the last survivor escaped because I went to patrol0 comments 91 views last activity

Obviously the recent patch has indirectly buffed face camping as the reduced hit cool down for killers prevents '1 for 1's'. I was wondering if anyone has tried using desperate measures (14% faster unhook per injured survivor) with the new dead hard to counter this change, and if it actually works?1 comments 51 views last activity

...which skins from others anime or manga would you like to see in this game? My own list could be this one: For Survivors: -Feng Min as Faye from Cowboy Bebop -Zarina as Rose from Fullmetal Alchemist -Claudette as Caska from Berserk -Dwight as Ginoza from Psycho-Pass -Yui as Lein from Serial Experiments Lein -Felix as Johan from Monster For Killers, i can only imagine The Doctor as Aluc21 comments 302 views last activity

I played 7 games yesterday and 5 today. WE HAVENT FINISHED MORE THAN 2 GENS!!!!!! The changes i didnt feel would be this impactful. Its not really the changes, just no one doing gens like the extra 10 secs is a deal breaker on doing the objective! Dont even get me started on the unsafe unhooking thats happening. 5 seconds of borrowed doesnt mean you should unhook in the killers face every hook!!!13 comments 281 views last activity

Anyone end up in a 3v1 against Call of Brine and live to tell the tale? It feels like this perk forces a stalemate/checkmate condition once the first survivor has died. The killer doesn't even need the perfect 3-gen. As long as all 3 gens are on the same side of the map, the killer can apply enough pressure to keep every gen at nil progress.6 comments 122 views last activity

Killer mains kept saying bbq was only good for the bloodpoints. Why are so many killers still running it then? Weird it's almost like being able to see where every other survivor is is useful info! But yeah no need for nerf or anything.66 comments 933 views last activity

I've just done it and it's absolutely insane, I would dread to be an M1 killer on it now, vaults next to vaults, pallets at the end of the vault chains, pretty much an infinite everywhere down the middle. Some of the vaults were directly opposite each other so you could yo-yo over them and the killer had to go around the T to get to you and at that point, you just ran back to this loop and the e9 comments 151 views last activity

So with the new AOT collab and having enjoyed the anime, I decided to get the Hange skin since I thought it was my favorite out of them. But after playing games while wearing it, I had many instances where survivors let me die on first hook or times where the killer would tunnel me the moment they saw me and then proceed to face camp me.

9 out of 10 Killers straight up camp and tunnel. Ironically, most of them are Survivor mains that switched to Killer after the recent patch. There's still no incentive to not tunnel for Killers, so I can't even blame them. In fact, it's even easier to tunnel now. The removal of the bloodpoint bonus of BBQ & Chili certainly didn't help this at all. All in all, I think there were some good &a15 comments 271 views last activity

To be clear, I play solo. Almost exclusively, in fact. Yes, the solo queue experience sucks, will continue to suck, and has always sucked. For the most part, my games are the same. Yeah, terrible, but the same sort of solo queue. But there is ONE glaring issue that is driving me mad. It's the constant disconnects! People are just DC-ing at the slightest inconvenience.

So, i'm all for the dead hard nerf when it was 1 second. I believe making it 0.5 seconds was a little harsh but i'm not the game developer so I digress. What I want to talk about is the "animation" when used; basically what happens is you use dead hard, you gain 0.5 endurance BUT you still do the dead hard animation for the whole second, which stops you from vaulting, dropping pallets and etc. Pr0 comments 25 views last activity

So out of curiosity I wonder how the survivor main streamers are fairing so far? The few times I watched a streamer play survivor they still won but most of the games I watch are killers so that doesn’t mean anything statistically. It’d be an interesting experiment to track the escape rates of really good survivor streamers to see how often they’re getting out post patch.19 comments 511 views last activity

Am I one of the three people that play on the Nintendo switch? Anyone else? I only play on it because the monthly fee for online access is like 5 bucks and I can take it anywhere when On a plane or on the go. The graphics are crap but get the job done.

I've been wondering for a while whether it's better to use a controller instead of a keyboard in this game. Reason why is because it often seems like when I press a key it's just not registering. I have to spam the assigned keys for w/e action it is, for it to work. I have a keyboard that is super fast, you have to half-press any key and it already registers. I don't have this issue in FPS games11 comments 1,843 views last activity

And those are getting yourself killed, and giving the killer free STBFL stacks If you body-block with OTR, you become effectively defenceless, meaning that the killer has literally zero reason to not chase and down you, especially when DS does basically nothing now, and if they have STBFL, you are giving them a free stack, meaning you screw your teammates over, unless the killer is a m1 killer a32 comments 471 views last activity

I have 390 Auric Cells and want to get Oni (400 as of now) and was wondering if DBD does the same thing as valorant does when if you are within ~50 VP of a purchase you can draw some fanart, send it to customer service and they'll add the extra credits to buy a skin. I will draw the best Oni fanart if this is the case.0 comments 22 views last activity

I've used to main solo queue survivor as of kate and play that for about 70% of my matches occasionally doing killer days and trying to improve on them. Now I find myself spending 80% of my games as killer. Solo queue never was that great but now it just feels like an exercise in masochism. The few times I did get out was when the killer farmed or 2 of my teammates died because apparently nob65 comments 871 views last activity

How many maps does this game have? It’s ridiculous to have some maps appear more often than others. Keep the sliders evened out for all of them. I’m tired of playing the same maps with high priority over and over for the year of 2022. It was bad last year, now it’s even worse. I’ve exhausted too many map offerings. Enough already, give us some diversity.1 comments 31 views last activity

Can we just recognise an incredibly odd design flaw for a minute? Make Your Choice Now, arguably one of the healthiest and most toxic perks in the game. In theory, it's anti-camp (you can't trigger it if you're near the hook) and anti-tunnel (you only get value if you don't tunnel), so it should be the healthiest perk in the game right? As a killer you'd think so, but it doesn't seem to be a15 comments 291 views last activity

With the new patch came all the perk changes and I was wondering who else changed a good number of their builds. For me on the killer side both discordance and deadlock has found their way into almost all my builds as well as the combo of thanatophobia + gift of pain seems to be working out pretty well too. On the survivor side it seems like prove thyself is almost a necessity to counter the ne5 comments 71 views last activity

Disclaimer: I'm killer main and only play survivor when long queue (which it is now) or rift challenges (which it is now), so my survivor MMR is probably pretty low. Here is how most of my matches go today. 8K and 1 gen done. I really don't see any point to continue wasting time on solo. On the other hand, I only lost 1 game out of about 20 as killer yesterday.58 comments 1,021 views last activity

Remember, this is a game and you don't have to play. If someone is being skeezy and playing like a garbage person, just give up. Give them hook, end the match and move on. Don't give them the satisfaction, they can choose to not play like that, you can choose to not play at all.10 comments 211 views last activity

I’m seeing an uptick of players entering lobbies with no perks equipped since the update that introduced them went live. I attribute this to players getting the cosmetic load outs mixed up with the perk load outs. Some may even think they’re connected, but be advised- they’re not. They’re separate. If you have no perks on Load out 2 selected, forget about it, then come back to that character mid0 comments 41 views last activity
