prayer beads is like, the number one most hated killer addon since frank's mixtape for pre-rework legion. anyone who understands this game understands why it's bad for the game. i know there are people who exist who enjoy it because it jumpscares them, but most people who play this game enjoy outplaying the other side, and there's no outplaying a prayer beads spirit, no matter how many times people talk about how you can hear her footsteps like 2 whole seconds before she comes out of phase and hits you. people might get immediately startled when you come out of nowhere and grab them off a gen, but the takeaway feeling is one of frustration, not one of genuine horror (because aside from startling moments this game stops being scary to people after about 100 hours tops), unless you're the fringe minority who doesn't care that they're dying to something they had no chance of playing against because it was ScArY
you feel powerful playing the spirit for all the wrong reasons and i'm glad it gives you personal satisfaction but it makes games against you totally unbearable no matter how fair you play and i'm glad i'm unlikely to ever encounter you in-game. hopefully prayer beads gets reworked soon so people like you have to actually learn how to outplay survivors, but until then, enjoy your free gens grabs and hits

i doubt it'll change. honestly, idk if this is true but i just feel like it is and i normally have a great intuition, but i feel that when "the phase walker" was being created, there was no whoosh noise and there wasnt supposed to be. but then they added it cause silence is strong. but they kept it as an add-on so it could still be in the game. ya know, the ol' nerf the killers power so its meh to yuck for base kit so that way, you can have strong add-ons at higher rarities.

but if they do change it, i have lots of success with the one that makes you go a mile when coming out of phase. im not infront of the game rn to know so forgive me. but uh, yea. lunging with that when popping up, yikes, you go around the length of a killer shack dimension give or take in like, a second. its so good for loops and just catching up. even without beads, im a nasty spirit and i have commitment to this killer. i would learn how to be just as horrible without beads but as of right now, I will feast upon my babies prayers. we really enjoy those "free hits"

my logic is that you enjoy making people's experiences miserable by running uncounterable, boring addons that shouldn't be in the game, and double down on how ######### it is for the other side as a positive for yourself
the fact that people like you can get some weird enjoyment out of something that unequivocally ruins this game for other people is a great reason for it to not exist

lmao fam, its not because it makes it unfun for the other side (have had multiple people message me and say it was fun) but because i have always enjoyed scaring people. not in real life cause that's weird, but with media. horror movies, horror games, its just enjoyable. i enjoy getting jump scared. i yelp and then laugh because my heart picked up the pass and i genuinely was frightened.

and in dbd, the jumpscare queen is prayer beads spirit. ive gotten so good at them. i can hear uninjured players when im just phasing around, allowing me to pop up and hit them without warning. gen grabs and fast chases are something im able to pull of consistantly but it is those out of nowhere hits that make me live. I like to imagine the other side has fun with getting startled unexpectedly but i know that isnt the case.

I play super fair because I use the add-ons. I never camp, I never tunnel, and i make sure that if i do down someone who has been hooked just previously, i allow them to use their d-strike. so i do kinda respect the other side. but i will not stop using prayer beads. i will not stop using moris. i will not stop using bbq and chili and noed and surveillance and devour hope and ruin and whatever it is that i want to run. they are in the game. im allowed to use them and so i shall cause they are fun.

i feel powerful when playing the spirit. i feel in control. i enjoy that. a little too much info but i have trauma related to the loss of control, being unable to do anything, trapped, caged. the spirit helps me with that. its a game but still. its empowering for me. so i wont stop.

that's probably because everyone who would DC on you has you MLGA blocked
you're already rewarded by DCs, people getting punished for it won't impact you at all, it'll just impact them. and hopefully prayer beads will be addressed by the time that happens. people like you are an excellent argument for why it shouldn't be in the game

That's okay. Prayer Beads get complained about enough that they will be changed sooner or later anyways.

@miaasma good, i hope they do lmao. also, your logic legit is, "you shouldn't be able to have this add on because you enjoy using it and therefore run it." lmao, cutie

@sairek ahahahahahaha oki sure, when the devs suddenly change their mind on how they want the game to play, they will change prayer beads. but they won't cause lmao, they like the killer being powerful. no other game allows the power role to actually pose a threat. this one does. why? cause people got tired of games where only the survivors get to stomp.

1. They probably can't disable perks without making a patch go through and that probably costs money

2. Mori s aren't supposed to be countered. Memento Mori literally translates to Remember Mortality. It does exactly what its supposed to do. Remind that being hooked is a gift to continue the trial. Just dying points out that you are a survivor, you are the one who is not in the power role. Sorry.

3. Supernatural killers are supposed to be more powerful than killers with more conventional powers. A man with a bottle of piss is not going to ever rival ghosts who can teleport. Again, sorry.

4. Someone should not want to play try hard and rank up unless they just want to be competitive. Those who relax and want to enjoy just having fun should not loose out on content other get just for being sweaty.

5. Please stop thinking you're smart.

keep in mind that other sounds make noise (say, generators) and that footsteps sound different on different maps. you'll hear a spirit more clearly on swamp than you might on a macmillan map, and you probably won't hear her on any map when you're doing a generator, which is why getting gen grabs is so easy with prayer beads
"just gen tap" is such bad advice it's a meme
plenty of things are scary to unpracticed players, and to experienced players prayer beads aren't scary, they're just annoying. my response to a prayer beads spirit consists of heaving a sigh, followed by dcing from the game because playing against that addon is a waste of time. the fact that it's been in the game for as long as it has is remarkable, and the only purpose it serves is to feed the egos of people like the OP who you'd never want to run into while playing a mutliplayer game

well, with the dc punishments coming soon, i will be rewarded for your unwillingness. furthermore, i play at red ranks and i barely get any dcs so lmao, you're the odd one out. get gud sis bish

My fams, my dears, my children, my parents, all yee who apply, everyone who is of the human race, I would like to make something apparent. It is a very simple concept, in all honesty. Here it is:

The nurse is dead. She floats. She teleports. She moves through space in a few moments. She is supposed to be powerful.

The spirit is dead. Her arms float and she flickers in and out of existence. Her "spirit" detatches from her physical corpse and wanders around blind but with acute hearing. She is supposed to be powerful.

The hag is dead. Her skin is flayed she draws voodoo hexes in the mud to teleport. She has no skin on her flesh, her muscles are exposed, she has no eyes and her face is ruined. She is supposed to be powerful.

These characters are literal paranormal entities straight out of horror movies. And you give them their best add-ons and even the strongest, fastest, most resiliant human shouldn't beat them. (But they can because there needs to be a reason people wanna play survivor.)

The legion, trapper, huntress, ghostface, Myers, etc... They aren't supernatural. The entire exposed mechanic is meant to just be like a "here's their power cause they don't do anything in lore" type thing. Other characters who have external things like hatchets or traps have those because, well, they just do.

But they aren't supposed to be super powerful. (Especially not legion. They are practically survivors running around with a mask and a knife.) They can be bullied and looped because they aren't supernatural. Why should they be on par with the paranormal killers? They shouldn't. They literally should not. That wouldn't be an accurate horror experience.

The entire "balance" thing is such a stupid flaw with games. Some people don't want to make games. They want to make an experience, a simulation, something that isn't reality because it can't be reality. And Dead By Daylight is sadly a game and therefore limited by "balance."

I guarantee you that the reasons they allow the supernatural killers to be so powerful and not the others is because they want it like that. I do. Y'all don't but that's because either y'all are bound to everyone else's way of thinking or you weren't exposed to the ideas of artists.

Those who make games are artists. This is their creation. Sorry you like a killer who isn't supernatural. That's kinda your sadness. Not theirs. Wanna be powerful? Switch your stupid bottle of gas for teleportation. Those two should never be on the same level.

The only story you tell us here is that you have no empathy with anyone else, in that case with the survivors. And you seem to not understand that "beeing a survivor" is no personal attack . I think you are simply playing the wrong game. Maybe a singleplayer Horror Game might be a better choice for you? idk

Why? There is no single player horror game where you get to be the ghost. And even if there was, you wouldn't be scaring real people. And wrong game? Omg fam oh no, DBD is like, THE game. It isn't a shooter, it is a horror game, and it actually allows the killer to be dangerous and scary and difficult to play against. Friday? Oof, horrible in game feeling control and mechanic wise, plus Jason boring. Dying Light? Zombies are so underpowered, boring, and the game doesn't focus on that aspect of the game anyway. And then what else..... Oh yea. There is no other asymmetrical horror game. Sad, so sad.
