2. All other issues you listed are lag related as Killers are the hosts and i think there is no confirmed lagswitch on console yet, only a lot of confirmed cases of players sucking and leeching off McD's wifi.
Dedicated servers come in summer, till then we have to live with it.
Lagswitch does indeed happen on console, both Xbox and PS. I've experienced it in DBD before. Not that frequent on Xbox at least because MS will ban you for it, but it does happen. The reason you don't hear about it much is because it can only happen in p2p games, and a lot of Xbox games nowadays have dedicated servers.
Plus they are on borrowed time anyway.
1. They are in the game the longest
2. Survivor BP rewards for the Survival and Objective BP categories suck
The issue of inaccurate hits mostly stems from lag. Dead by Daylight is on peer to peer connection, not dedicated servers. So when someone has bad ping, it’s really noticeable.
Other than that, the Killer’s swing hit is a cone, not a traditional hit box. Otherwise things like 360s and dips in performance would make it arguably unplayable.
Did you even read what you wrote?
Killers have to keep track of 7 generators, 4 survivors (each requiring 3 hook stages to die), and possiby hex totems to defend, in order to achieve their objective. Survivors have the numerical advantage and can split 5 objectives between 4 players. It's only logical that killers score more points every match, otherwise, less people would be drawn to play the most demanding role in the game. Playing survivor allows me to sip on a beer and lay back while playing, and still escape/pip. Playing killer is a whole different affair.
Hits through windows and short fences make sense, think about it, there's no obstacle between the killer's weapon and the survivor. You can dodge the hit by crouching, by the way.
Killers' bigger hitboxes work 100% AGAINST them, in issues like looping around objects and making sharp turns. Learn to take advantage of that fact. Smaller killer hitboxes would mean the end to the Looping META. As much as I'd like to see that (I'm a killer main), I'm certain it will never happen.
I second what user @ChesterTheMolester said about lag switching.
The only difference is you only have to do those tasks while the killer has to prevent those tasks for 4 players
welcome to the 10,000 other people that made a post like this
Killer takes a lot more effort than survivor, I think it's fine that they earn more BP.
Lag switching, yes that's wrong, I don't think anyone approves of it. Thankfully it'll be a thing of the past when dedicated servers come in the summer.
As for hitboxes, with windows included. The Hitboxes are far from perfect. Often I see it going both ways, a survivor is right up on the killer and they swing and nothing happens and then I see a huntress hit a survivor trough the corner of a wall. so i don't know what to tell you there
survivors are forced to do 5 gens, the killers are forced to go through loops, flashlight saves, pallets, etc, killers deserve the bp, you don't like it run the equivalent of bbq, we are gonna farm forever, I agree with you btw
Its called lag, get a better ISP, or check your ping rate while in the lobby. If its red, leave.
Guys....
At this point, i think that we can call this BAIT.
WiFi, and yet you expect a stable connection
You never experienced it because almost no one does it. I have over 1500 hours in the game on Xbox and have only been lagswitched by 1 player that I can confirm (maybe 1 or 2 others I can't). But it can be done. This player in particular I played against multiple times, and he lagswitched against both me and my friend. If you use a FL on him, he starts to chase you and the game suddenly starts to lag really hard. Killer will be running into a wall while you get hit and go down. Then suddenly you are either being carried to a hook or on a hook. Immediately after the lag completely goes away. This happened CONSISTENTLY against this player, there is no way it's just normal lag.
People tend to think lag switching or modding is impossible in console online games. This is 100% false, it's just that it's far more rare on consoles because the chance of getting banned is very very high, and most games used dedicated servers now making it impossible to mod/lagswitch. Case and point here is a video I recorded of Gears 2 on Xbox 360 where the other team modded the game to give themselves super speed, 100k ammo, and insta-down/insta-gib weapons:
Lagswitch was also a common thing in Gears 2. However neither of these things happen in the game anymore because dedicated servers make them impossible.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
you are playing for 3 months, omg you have amazing game knowledge, i am playing this game since 1.0.0 and i know what an issue is, you are simple a low rank rank who can't play properly, survivors when playing right can get lots of points, yes i am a killer main, but i know how survivor work, and i played survivor long enough to know how to make points, and the ammount of points you make is extremely dependent of the killer skills, if you get 13K per game it is simply because you either only worked on gens or you didnt got chased or your didn't healed or unhooked, survivors can get point as much as killers can, if survivors gen rush, don't expect many points,
if you want more points, make longer chases, stun if possible, juke, unhook and work wiht toher survivors to heal and repair.
want to avoid windows hits? just keep a better distance if you plan to vault a window and time it better and use it at the right time, you don'T know the game enough to know the right plays and you do mistakes, yes you can be hit on the other side of the window it's because there's still a little hitbox that you can be hit from, be aware of that, and if you get it from 1 meter from it, well it's your ping.
and last thing, yes sometimes i hit on one side but move my camera so quickly that i end up hitting someone i shouldn't have hit, deal with it, it happens, it's not a broken thing, it's just a thing.
learn the ######### game and play for more than 3 tiny months, you are still a noob, don'T complain, you are the kind of people that makes killer nerfed and buff survivors, keep it as it is now, it's good, stop complaining.
At newbie ranks yes killers do have the advantage.
I feel ashamed that I clicked on the click bait. This is not a "MUST READ" thread.
