Outside of Slug Army and Face camping. What can killers do to be Toxic? The community seems to believe a lot of things but I’ve never gotten a true straight answer.14 comments 211 views last activity

Survivors will now get endurance AND haste for 5 seconds once they're unhooked... and that's for free. So consider the scenario where a killer has just managed to down someone near an exit gate. They're put on a hook, obviously close to the exit gate because you can't walk very far while carrying a wiggling survivor. If someone else comes for a rescue, sans-BT (which means they can use anothe27 comments 631 views last activity

I hope this is the right category to ask this on. I have many killers and survivors at level 50 but not prestiged, will I lose all of the perks if I am not prestiged, will I only get tier 1 perks? Have they talked about this on a blog post yet?3 comments 61 views last activity

started playing as them for a few days now, i think im good with them but i wanna change my build, i get genrushed a lot and would like to avoid that i have jolt, surveillance, whispers and discordance rn1 comments 41 views last activity

It absolutely terrifies me, I just played against one and ig just by them being there I, out of nowhere became the worst player ever after getting 4ks all day and the loss hurts more than usual because there was an audience to witness it, they were nice in the in game chat afterwards but they didn't mind teabagging me at the gate before that. Maybe it's just my anxiety but I'm gonna leave the lob13 comments 141 views last activity

I don't really run STBFL but anybody who does , does that 2 stacks that is basically base-kit make it so you can grab a survivor out of a cooldown before they get the unhook? Is the cooldown fast enough?4 comments 111 views last activity

In my opinion the ratio between the two should stay the same. Nerfing base gen speeds while keeping hook stages the same length will now make it more time-efficient to facecamp someone to death with for example Bubba. The simple fix to this is to increase hook stage times so that the ratio stays the same as it is now, or perhaps make it slightly better in order to combat that strat a bit more, as0 comments 32 views last activity

its one of the worst perks in the game now, if the killer has sloppy butcher healing with self care will take 68 seconds (if im not bad at math) thats over a minute and almost a full generator10 comments 71 views last activity

BT base kit is mostly fine but what the hell is Botany now?? Boon: Circle of Healing is already insanely overpowered, now the new meta for healing is everyone's gonna have a health kit, THEN one guy is gonna have Boon: Circle + Botany and could get a bunch of their teammates to get Off The Record and get so much bodyblocking out of it.1 comments 81 views last activity

Remove the obsession requirement entirely, it’s holding the perk back. If the obsession is a Claudette hiding all game, then the killer is playing with 3 perk only, it’s absurd.5 comments 41 views last activity

With the upcoming midchapter many already annoying game mechanics and perk constellations on certain killers will become even more corrosive: - hold even more m1 - camping or keeping from saving is still easily possible - tunnling is even easier, except that the killer now always has to wait five seconds, but it can eat ds more easily - tana on legion becomes even stronger - stridor on spir3 comments 91 views last activity

Its beeing used in the upcoming patch rather careless and with way too long durations. I wouldnt mind if this would be with one thing like only base borrow but we have now a lot of other sources with it like off the record or new borrow. What I am saying is imagine you try to chase the person who just unhooked and now the unhooked guy with a 15 sec borrow just block you at a door, you literally16 comments 211 views last activity

Why would you ever take BT over the new Off the record? I can't count the number of time where i went down immediatly because my teammates farmed me without BT, so why would i run i perk for other when i have the option of a stronger alternative for myself? Also RIP BBQ and WGLF bp bonus, you will be missed.0 comments 41 views last activity

It is rough to see two Circles of Healing on two corners of the map and having the whole team full heal after you've been out of a chase for only 20 seconds. It is really rough and should never happen like that. Healing teams with bodyblockers that have DS because you hooked them 20 seconds ago can be ridiculously overpowered against Killers without really good powers that can either go around o2 comments 31 views last activity

Solo survivor queues are tough enough as they are, however the changes seem to gut a lot of perks that made playing solo somewhat manageable. Though is it too crazy to ask for at least kindred to be a base ability for all survivors now?2 comments 31 views last activity

I’ve been playing dbd for a while now and it’s obvious some killers are better than others. The big 2 being the nurse and blight. I understand that both of these killers have the highest skill ceilings of any killer but they are both incredibly oppressive for different reasons. The one I want to talk about is blight, I personally think while he is really strong If he is mastered, he still has s2 comments 41 views last activity

So uh. Darn. I'm glad for killers, the basekit changes were pretty darn nice. A good bit of the perk changes were good, some made sense, a couple were bad and a few were outright baffling (please remove that knife from DS's back, OTR). But solo queue, oh solo queue..17 comments 231 views last activity

What I see in this new perk rework are devs desperate for fixing camping and tunneling. When the solution is pretty simple When unhook a surv make it intangible and get a sprint burst. This would fix: Camping and tunnel discouraging chasing that surv ( unless killer want you dead). BT bodyblocking.8 comments 61 views last activity

I like variety in my games so I don't always play with my friends... but lately, I have no idea what's going on with matchmaking. People were definitely hiding in corners and what not before, but now it's gotten so bad that not only aren't gens being touched but I'm more likely to die on 1st hook simply because other Survivors don't seem to care. Now when I go to play as Killer, it's the complete11 comments 132 views last activity

I think survivors should only hear chase music while in a killers terror radius. I have had my surprises spoiled because a survivor just happens to be running in my fov. It's pretty frustrating.0 comments 31 views last activity

Better buff MoM or rework it altogether cause why would you run that when you can have an extra health state by just pressing E. Expect everyone and their mother to run this. If the changes go live I see no reason to run any other exhaustion perk. Also if you get a speed boost what is even the point of Overcome??29 comments 671 views last activity

Why is everything I see now about camping are tunneling with the recent update, I feel like killers are at a bit of a loss, and now I don't know what to expect for killers, what to do, I feel like now trying to process how to play killer has been harder than ever. I've never been one to camp or tunnel on purpose, but I feel now, but there really is no proper way to play this game anymore. I'm not4 comments 81 views last activity

Hey, we got patch notes of the upcoming patch, it got ups and downs but let's take a look at the downside because I can't be anymore unthankful at this point As an average solo player this patch sounds like hell, I mean I'm gonna have a hard time repairing gens, looping and self caring in a corner From the sound of it chases will be much easier, 10% faster recovery speed after hitting a surviv31 comments 501 views last activity

Spine Chill was only useful for Solo to gain information when killer coming, in SWF you just used comms to warn others. Self Care was only useful for Solo to have reliable healing because you can't rely on teammates, in SWF that's not a problem. Gen time increase ensuring that camping even more effective vs solo players, there is no way to punish camping anymore as solo. Knockout buff does not0 comments 71 views last activity

So I can understand the reduction in Ruin's effect to a degree, though I think they went a bit overboard. However it's that last sentence that kills it for me: "After a Survivor is killed, Hex: Ruin will automatically deactivate." That drastically reduces Ruin's effectiveness - to be honest why would anyone take it given that your Hex will be automatically destroyed after killing the first26 comments 391 views last activity

That will be fun: faster breaking pallets, slower gens, no dh for distance, no camping counter and on top the devs ignore the strengh of stbfl and buff it even more with the reduced cooldown for successful hits… chases will end up in seconds.16 comments 381 views last activity

So i have all survivors and killers p3 level 50, its an accomplishment im very proud of. But as you can imagine, some of them i got to p3 level 50, and then stopped putting bloodpoints into them, so they have the minimum amount of perks. Will they all AT LEAST be prestige 3 when the transition happens? Because it said it was based on perk tiers. If the answer to my first question is no, how m1 comments 41 views last activity

This is not about balance. It's about "damn awful experience", same as tunnel. When game screwed, what survivor can do? do brainless unhook. get 2k-3k free bp. (from hook, from bold) get hooked then suicide. free bp, quick game. gg! But what about killers. What if they screwed? Go corner, regret you even played killer, then wait for like 5 minutes. Wait until every one of survivors pl8 comments 151 views last activity

you speaked about shifting the meta and what we have here now for the major changes? 1 dead hard BUFFED (this is the WORST decision that you made in all those years and the proof that YOU PROBABLY DON'T PLAY YOUR GAME, or if you did noone of you is a good survivor/killer)... this will SURELY change things and this perk won't be used as much as before /s 2 BT BUFFED (another awful decision)...0 comments 41 views last activity

Out of all perks, this is the one that deactivates in the endgame? Kinda weird to just slap that onto a perk just because “There is not way to counter it.” The perk has been threw enough. I understand the Deactivate when opening exit gate part but to just Completely not work in endgame, doesn’t make sense. At least make it more of a anti-tunnel perk.62 comments 1,121 views last activity

So im havin a string of Blights tonight and it got me thinkin. Are there any legitimately good Blights out there? I mean, ive seen some videos of ppl playin good, but every single time ive come across Blights in the wild they either hard tunnel ppl off hooks or super camp like a Bubba on crack. I think itd be fun to play some good loops with a Blight, but in all this time its never happened. What15 comments 161 views last activity

So I've seen the new changes coming to the game soon, and while I'm very much so surprised and happy about the changes so far, there's something I felt was missing and I'm going to ask this question straight up: Are you going to address the fact that Survivors will try to force Killer into tunneling them through body blocks while in the Endurance status effect?

i personally dont care about ur dogmas the wraith at least against low-mid level survivors is one of the strongest killers stronger than the nurse against low-mid levels the wraith is like this u go to generators super fast with his add ons counter spine chill by not looking directly at the generators by going at them (very important) then surprise-attack them with the sprint uncloak2 comments 52 views last activity

Oppression has the disadvantage of being unaffected by other damage-related perks compared to its long cooldown. I think it would be appropriate if the Oppression regression effect was applied by 2.5%.0 comments 41 views last activity

I read over all the perk changes and mostly im pretty happy with them. Other than the butchering of iron will, it barely does anything as it is. Now it doesnt even have the full effect. The exhausted effecting it is extremely dumb, it makes it completely useless to run with sprint burst or overcome.

I think the changes are going to make the game much more fairer on both sides. I'm honestly happy to see more perk builds other than the same boring perks over and over again. Breaking pallets and wiping the weapon off a bit faster is much needed improvement against maps that are massive. And good job with the change to the gen regression. It was long overdo.

You get free extra gen time, nerfed DS, and (probably a net) nerf on DH. How many survivor perks that aren’t significant to camping or tunneling were significantly buffed? I don’t see anything frightening.6 comments 101 views last activity

At the moment the reward is... an icon... It would be great if I could now re-spend those bloodpoints better now since losing progress (in terms of items, offerings and addons) will now no longer be a thing. Especially since now everyone can access the bloody cosmetics (which is really the only rewards for prestiging) without having to lose progress and waste bloodpoints.

Basically the title, they could have even made it a lite version of it by making it to where the killer and survivors were only shown for X number of seconds before fading to better incentivize not camping, showing if anyone was going for the hooked survivor thus keeping people actually on objective, I've seen whole ass games fall apart from an overly altruistic team and everyone bum-rushing one0 comments 31 views last activity

I know it's not out yet but I want to know but i have a question. let's say my hillbilly is at LV 40 and has not been prestige, and his 3 teachable perks have been unlocked, and I got his 3 perks for all my killers. when this new prestige system comes out, does it revert to level 1 of those perks from all my killers since hillbilly isn't at lv 50? also, what about the perks in the shrine of secr4 comments 91 views last activity

Really? An icon? That's it? Not even a bloodpoint reward? How a piece of half-transparent picture no one cares about is a reward for grinding the hell out of this game?

OOOOOH boy. I hope others are as excited for this combination as i am. I am one of the medkit gremlins the perk buffs talk about, and if I feel like self healing I chronically run pharmacy, botany, and built to last. But if I did the math right, you can effectively heal yourself in eight seconds TWICE per green medkit with the new botany knowledge numbers. Sounds super duper fun, honestly.2 comments 121 views last activity
