Can we nerf swf already. Or at least voice chat software.

This is not from a killers standpoint but for both sides. swf isnt really the problem on it's own. Discord and console party chats is the problem that needs to be addressed. The devs need to take a stance on this and make it where you cant que in game or start a game in lobby while a third party voice chat is active. They need to give solos a ingame party chat if it was intended for survivors to have it. So at least survivors are nerfed fairly for all then nerfing all of them because of swf party chats.

If communication for survivors wasn't intended. then they need start adding into the game a blocker for party chats for console and have pc flag discord so they cant start lobbies or games while its active. Mainly because those are considered exploits that should be bannable. For anyone who doesn't understand. The act of using third party software to give yourself a unfair advantage that the developers didn't intend is a exploit. That frankly needs to be bannable.

But let's be real no dev will do this. They will hide. because they want to shill money from us as long as they can with shoddy design games they create. Why else do you see so many bugs that takes weeks or been a year and still not fixed. But I rather vent this frustration thenhold onto it.

    No dev would do this because theyโ€™re not silly. Steam has team voice built right in. You want them to ban the use of Steam? Or their cell phones?

    edit: take a look at this: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/106566/ these stats show that killer is out performing and that most people who complain about playing killer are just bad.

    there are some specific game play mechanics and perks that are bullshitty for survivors but in general killers are wrecking survivors.

    doesnt the cart take into account DC and suicides?? soooo that would mean that killers arent out performing.

    why are killers punished for playing vs SwFs?? why do u believe survivors are entitled to over 10 perks alone with voice comms??

    because Voice comms alone gives over 10 perks.

    So what's your solution ban everyone who has a discord account or perhaps just force swf to only play customs. What you suggested was utter garbage because who cares "oh im so worried about a full ds squad" dont tunnel then. "Oh but what about unbreakable" dont slug. What you suggest would make over half the surrvivor players quit so stop crying and just play the game.

    I hate SWF groups purely because voice chat is way to over powered to be used in this game, but it can't be taken off the groups.

    Instead, SWF should be nerfed so they're not so powerful. I know an update is coming out, but i'm talking about a proper nerf. Extra gen speeds per SWF member, extra totems on the map, only one playable character at any one time, only one perk to be used by each member and not multiple perks that're the same, slow their running speed down by a %, don't let the SWF take all the same tools in the game so tool boxes etc, buff the killer vaulting/pallet breaking by a % for each SWF in the lobby.

    My stance is that killer should be brought up on the same level as a survivor.

    Example of what I mean. Earlier I killed 2 people, hooked the 3rd person, the 4th didn't come and save the 3rd, instead the 3rd person on the hook killed them self on the hook on purpose, and the 4th person with in like 5 seconds escaped through the hatch. SWF using communications to win the game a game.

    You actually won the game. You killed 3 people. One person escaped. If this was being rated the killer vs the team - they lost. Balance, according to BHVR, is 2 killed, 2 escaped. So by any measure, this is not a problem, just because you don't like it.

    Obviously you think only killers should be happy. Who cares if people play with their freinds your problem is that they are oh so over powered but like other people said the amount of good swf is under 10 percent all the others are just trying to have fun. So im oh so sorry that you cant get what you want. So suck it up butter cup and if you cant deal with it then just quit Simple as that.

    So you think killers should be the only ones to be happy? What you suggested was complete and utter garbage and i pointed that out never did i say it had to only be fun for survivors you took it as that. What i did say was that over half the survivor base plays with freinds and by doing what you suggested would cut that number in half and what you suggested means that it should only be fair and fun to killets because you dont like swf having the same perks as each other is stuipid. Why shouldnt they be able to use perks that they recived? Give me a good awnser to this question cause honestly your suggestion is killer sided bs.

    yeyeyeye they catch up to my urban evading. too op

  • Obviously the most op thing ever cant belive devs made them so fast

  • I don't understand how having a party chat is "unfair advantage".


    I play with friends a lot. Sure you can give each other a heads up. But in the way of "This killer is a camper and may be using insidious, don't come unhook me" or "I'm working on this generator at this location, want to get another" etc etc. Usually we just slag each other off ๐Ÿ˜‚.


    Even when we play non ranked against a friend, we still have chat open with who evers killer. It doesn't effect the game play, if anything it adds to the fun.

    It's more the social aspect. And I'm sorry, but the second they get rid of chats they'll probably lose a lot of players as most like to socialise.

  • @elvangulley said:

    If survivors cant play the game without cheating on comms they shouldn't play at all i say bye to anybody that would quit we dont need cheats in this game

    But wheres the cheating? Its not a cheat ๐Ÿ˜‚. It's a chance to chat and socialise a bit is all. And sure you may talk about the killer, but it doesn't make a difference. With certain survivor perks on it doesn't matter what your mates feed you on voice chat, you'll already have the info you need. ๐Ÿ˜ I mean, unless the killer is a camper. Happens a lot. They get annoyed when you message your mates and say "He's a camper with no skill, so I'll keep him here, go smash some gens". ๐Ÿ˜‚ So I get why killers would complain at that maybe

  • swf shouldn't have been implemented in the first place unless killer also gets an advantage but it doesn't,only survivors do

  • +1 this idea as killer main. If they want use voice chat through phone at least they must have good phone and have charged battery and who wants to bother voice chat from phone. They basically use discord on PC and team-speak on console....

  • playing with friends isn't illegal. and no one wants to play solo because it's pure hell. this game is only worth if you play as killer or SWF.

    Dude were you even around fir the time before swf? People would lobby dodge until they got a match with their freinds and that eould cause wait times to be way longer than it needed to be and seriously you think that me saying that implies that only surrvivirs should be happy? So if using your logic why should killers be happy? Why shouldnt surrvivors be allowed to play with freinds? You have no goid awnsers to this because all you think about is the killer side being happy. I pointed out the flaws in your so called "fix" and you just cant take it.

    ill answer ur questions bit by bit.

    1. ive been around since Beta and have some LP Survivors and killers.
    2. back in the day u could change location ie* Region we would go to Egypt for lobby together.
    3. everyone should be happy ie* both killers and survivors. (survivors can play with their friends and the killer has a fair match)
    4. I NEVER SAID get rid of SwFs.

    u didnt point out any flaw in my comments because u believe its ok for survivors to have an alrdy bigger advantage vs killer. in a 4v1 game where the 1 side (killer) should be stronger then a single survivor (the 4 side) its not. as updates have happened over time killers have gotten bigger nerfs then survivors which should be the case. i see people crying about survivor Q times and i wonder why are these people crying, they did it to themselves.

    do i believe the devs messed up with nerfing some survivor perks like Iron Will??? yes, they need to change perks like them back and buff some killer perks like Monstrous Shrine.

    I agree with buffing perks like monstorus shrine and bringing iron will back. However why shouldnt surrvivors be able to use whatever they earned just like killers. Sure people complain that craps overpowered and you are part if them complaining about how surrvivors shouldnt be able to use chat apps to talk to one another. Saying that they should remove any vc software would mean getting rid of steam or microsaft players and xbox players who have vc built into them. This is a game thaf people payed to play they are allowed to do whatever is in the game and what the devs have allowed. Heck the devs even said that they use vc while playing with each other and that their is nothing wrong with it.

    why??

    • because its not fair to killers the other person who they are playing vs.
    • remember this is a vs game, not a 4v4.
    • the other way would be to give killers 4 extra perks for a total of 8 perks.
    • i never said that they should remove VC, even if they could.

    all im advocating for is fairness for both sides and SwFs isnt fair, and u cant argue that fact.

    It better do something then nothing. Every SWF using coms blocked is small win for balance of this game.

  • If you are in an SWF group, all that needs to happen is your microphone is FORCED on for ingame chat, if you are a solo you get a push to talk function. Killers can hear you talking within X Meters (32 minimum, i personally think 40)

  • @Mew said:

    you literally cannot nerf comms, its impossible since survivors use a 3rd party software to do it

    besides, even if they did, what would stop them from just calling each other on their phone?

    As i say, it is better to block 90% them, i can deal with others 10 % using mobile. Every blocked swf with coms is small win for game balance

    . its a 4v1 gane where each side has to stratagize

    .its implemented in the game just like noed wich is unfair to survs but its still there

    • 4v1 yes thats the only part that is true, because @ its core when the killer finds 1 survivor the killer should be stronger then the 1 survivor which isnt the case.
    • and ure wrong about "it being implemented in the game" BECAUSE Voice Comms arent in the game.
    • killers powers do nothing when u got 5 gens worth of safe pallets, minus 2 killers which do.

    1 - I agree with you completely.

    2 - People complain about NoED because they decided destroying totems wasn't important and payed the price for it. That's on survivors, not killers.

    3 - Powers can either be useful anywhere, or in most cases easily countered by survivors or maps. So they can be the worst part of killers.

    4 - Besides the fact calling someone's idea garbage is rude. I agree not being able to chat with friends while playing with them would be a BAD idea. The amount of people that would quit if SWF was removed would likely ruin the game. However, something does need to be done about how broken that system is and there's been many good suggestions about it.

    BHVR needs to be extremely careful with how they handle it though, leading me to believe this is why they haven't touched it yet. We'll have to see how the new map changes factor in before we're likely to see changes to anything else.

  • You know,part of me almost wishes SWF was turned off for maybe two months. Just so I could see the complaints about the huge wait times and what would replace SWF as "TOTALLY UNFAIR, DEVS BIASED TO SURVIVORS, SURVIVORS OP, KILLERS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE FUN", I'm pretty sure it'd be something spectacular, maybe it'll be lockers....
