Well I just got reported by a 3 man SWF saying I was abusing an exploit just by playing Dredge so I guess there is. I managed to claw the game back with one gen left and they said I was suddenly turning invisible and abusing an 'extremely well known' exploit. Take from that what you will, it's the first I've heard of it but wouldn't be surprised if BHVR have just randomly broken another killer again.
I mean, I just had the bug and you can still kiiiind of see him. You see his arms when he swings but not his body, its' weird AF (and actually kind of funny to be honest) but you can't be banned for it because if it were that much of a problem, they'd kill switch Dredge. Thing is, I was with a SWF including a streamer and I had the bug and so did another in our party, but the streamer did not. We were all together at the exit gate so after I escaped I tabbed out to her stream and saw Dredge just fine. So not sure what causes the bug when it happens.
That said, I was told by the other in the party that couldn't see him that it IS on the known issues list so hopefully they can fix it Tuesday, and if not, maybe finally Killswitch Dredge (not that I want that, he's fun to play against)

The thing I don't get about posts like this is, what about all the stuff they've been doing recently that was explicitly asked for by the community?
The big meta shakeup patch, the solo queue improvements, the Eruption nerf, things like that. Those are things the community asked for, and BHVR have done them. It seems clear to me that they do listen, and not only do they listen, they also take the extra step of acting on that information a lot of the time. You could make the argument they do it slowly, and I'd agree with that argument, but you can't make the argument that they don't do it at all.
Side note, we got a new map last chapter, and updates to three maps in this upcoming chapter that make them functionally new. Not sure why that's on your list there, same as more perks, we've obviously been getting them.
But they didn't do what I wanted them to do so, none of that matters.
(Note, I don't actually think this, but I honestly feel a lot of not just players of this game, but gamers in general have this attitude. I see it in other games too. One game did a poll of what new content players wanted most. To generic tone it down, lets say there was add cats, add dogs, or add hamsters. The cats won by a landslide, they said they'd be working on them first. Suddenly, the forums were flooded with posts of "Nobody asked for cats! Nobody likes cats! Why don't you ever listen to your players?" mostly people who wanted hamsters. Nevermind that six months later they added dogs and six months later hamsters. Until the hamsters got added the forums were flooded with "Nobody wants cats" posts.)

There seriously are people thinking that nerfing a killer's perk also nerfs the killer itself? Lmao. No Pig was even ever using this perk on her. Face the Darkness is the screaming perk nerf that actually affects her a bit.
Nerf Pig is a meme at this point, so yes nerfing her perks counts for sake of the meme. Plus, ALL killers got nerfed by this change, which last I checked, Pig is a kller. So she got nerfed. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

It’s Bad for Killers Because outside of 19 meters it will be a terrible source of information and Takes a lot of perks that Are Perfectly Fine and makes them worse. It’ doesn’t affect survivors so they have no room to Talk on this matter if they just want to celebrate another nerf to their competitors, But My survivors Friends say it’s stupid How they changed it. Seems like an unnecessary nerf just to see what they can get away with.
My streamer friend I told about this said you still get the "loud notification" so it doesn't matter if you don't hear the scream. But, she's a survivor main so I feel like, respectfully, she will never understand why I (who play both sides, Pig/Legion main on killer side) see it as a problem.
-
Just saw a streamer test this, and it seems Doctor still hears the screams, but the perks don't work per se. YOu get the "noise notification" and aura but not the scream.
So, I agree this is broken, but... I can't really put into words why. Anyone else that thinks this is bad able to put it into words why?
Preferably from both the killer and survivor reasons?
-
I feel you, revealing Ghost Face has been buggy AF for awhile now. It annoys me too.
The problem is, it's a catch-22. When I am going against a Ghost Face, I can't reveal him like ever. When I play as him? I get revealed in half a second. Like, why is it so hard for me to reveal yet also hard for me to not be revealed? What's the secret I don't know to working around this buggy mechanic?
-
-
They added not one but TWO new survivors along with the killer. Even if she was so amazing as to be the new Nurse, there would still be more people playing the new survivors than the new killers, because you can't play killer with your friends unless you do customs. So I'll try her out in a few days when I am alone, and I think that's how it is for most people that aren't hardcore killer main only.

It's human nature, and I feel many in the Dead by Daylight community are the worst for it, that we allow the negative to overshadow the bad. BHVR could do ten awesome things, but the second they do something seen as bad, well... That's all that matters. BHVR is bad according to the vocal parts of the community.
Honestly, it's the same as other media. In movies it's said that an actor/director is only as good as their last movie.

Right, but I think perhaps the point where you stop making the "Nerf Pig" meme is the point at which Pig has been given multiple buffs in a row and is in pretty much the best spot she ever has been.
It was never a particularly accurate meme, but there's got to be a point where it starts being a little weird to keep making that joke as reality becomes more and more detached from it, surely.

Not sure what you expect them to other than have a server in every city. I live in the Midwestern United States and so I connect to either Oregon or North Virginia, not sure which so sometimes my ping isn't the greatest. It would be awesome if they had a server in Kansas City, one in Portland, one in Los Angeles, one in Dallas, one in New York, one in New Orleans, one in Chicago, one in Atlanta... but... that's just not feasible. In fact, some games have all their servers in one location and it's only set to "regions" for letting you expect similar schedules. Pretty sure BHVR at least does have East Coast and West Coast servers, same with Oceanic and UK, etc.
Last they said, this is where they currently have servers.

...Pig's been buffed multiple times and is in a pretty good spot right now, though?
I mean she's better than she was at her worst, but I'd still say she's at least equal if not worse than Billy and Deathslinger. But also, ""Nerf Pig" has become somewhat of a meme now, so even if she got massive buffs, the meme would persist.
-
This outfit along with Rabid Seadog for Legion and Office Santa for Dwight (which I annoyingly have part of, as I started the game during Rift VI but wasn't able to finish it in time because I had only like two weeks and was new to the game) are "Mobile Exclusives" that were brought over to the main game. It seems that those remain "Mobile Exclusives" for those who didn't get them in the RIft. I am HOPING they will eventually come to the store, but.... who knows?

Yea, I do this as killer and I apreciate it when a killer does it when I am survivor. Nothing annoys me more than a jungle gym obstructing the view...

Hillbilly and Deathslinger... yeah, they're languishing...

Or I will stop buying the battle pass
seriously 2 sets of skins from previous battle passes are now store bought skins. I get the bp because I want the cosmetic rewards you cant buy off the store im teir 71 right now in the current battle pass but im wondering why even bother doing these stupid challenges if the skins I worked hard to get will just end up on the store at a future date
They stated before the first Rift that they would do this. Also, you do them so you can get them all for FREE. You pay 1000 Auric Cells for the Rift, then you get that back. Plus all the outfits. A year plus later when they come to the store, they are 1000 Auric cells EACH. I have friends who bought 1000 Auric Cells and never spend them except on the Rift, because... again, you all 1000 back if you finish the RIft.
So sure, stop buying the Rift and just buy the skins. BHVR will thank you because you will be giving them more money.

Well, do you have every other perk in the game? Because due the random nature, it can sometimes just never give you the one perk you want.

Hmm, yeah. If you have their name and such, you might be able to get them for holding the game hostage with that screenshot of the DM. You'd have to report it on the report page though.

I'll buy her yeah, and I'll play her... probably not as much as other killers, but yeah. I am a Pig/Legion main primarily, though lately I've been playing Spirit a lot more because her new Shady Sunbather skin is just too good not to buy, which means I now have to play her more again (I do enjoy her, if that wasn't the case I wouldn't have bought the skin.)

@Peanits said:
On average, you'll pip up more than you'll lose a pip. And more importantly, both you AND your opponent can pip up at the same time. This is totally fine for a reward system like emblems/grades, but it's very bad when it comes to matchmaking. It makes it so over the course of a month, pretty much anybody who plays enough with end up in or near the highest bracket, more or less pairing anyone against anyone. This was pretty much exactly what happened under the old ranking system: Just before rank reset, matchmaking was all over the place since everyone was so close together.
The emblem system also isn't a good indicator of how skilled you are since it doesn't take your opponents skill into consideration. For instance, if you are a low MMR player playing against other low MMR players, you can still have a match where you pip or even double pip. But that doesn't suddenly make you as good as a high MMR player who does that same. You did well in that match with other similarly low MMR people, but you wouldn't do as well in a match with amazing players.
That's why we keep these systems separate. Emblems are purely a monthly ladder that you can climb for rewards (whether you're brand new to the game or an absolutely legend), and MMR is there purely to make sure you'll win about half of your matches. Mixing the two would either make it difficult to get your rewards- unless you're absolutely amazing at the game- or have a seriously negative effect on matchmaking.
Well, then I must be painfully below average because I have yet to EVER in over 2000 hours get higher than Gold IV (and usually don't make it out of bronze) and I've heard many others say the same. IMO, you should just remove depips entirely, make it harder to pip if you need to, but remove depips. Because trust me, your "anybody who plays enough will end up in the highest bracket" just isn't true... Do I need to play 18 hours a day? 24? I get tunneled out from first hook in about 70% of my matches. So when that happens, I depip back to 0 every time I pip.

To be fair, eventhough its a very small percentage, a single bully squad can turn a nice killer into a sadist one. I used to be bullied by a HeadOn squad, then made later survivors miserable.
Its up to people to realize they're better than those bully squads.
I get what you mean, but I've turned it around. I actually respect Head On bully squads now, I find them hilarious. I was playing as Bubba the other day and while I was just there to get my 4 downs for the daily, I ran into a Head On bully squad on Dead Dawg and it was freakin' hilarious. I even told them as much in end game chat I said something like "gg Head On abuse was hilarious glhf next"

I rarely see toxic comments in end game chat, and when I do I can choose whether to respond or not. I also can click the little button to close it and it will stay closed until i reopen it. So there is no need to remove it entirely.

@K_Nottie16 said:
For me I would get rid of Legion because the gameplay going against him is boring. Im tired of having to mend so much during the match. I dont think he'll be missed. For me the survivor would be Feng Min. Why because its controversial lol.
*looks at your avatar* I'd get rid of Elodie. I'm sure she won't be missed.
Joke aside, as a Claire main I would get rid of Nemesis. They are the WORST for wanting to always tunnel me out, and 99% of the time they don't even have the courtesy to bring a Mori.
As for survivors, I wouldn't so much remove a survivor, as their perks. Like, keep them, but remove their perks. For that? David King. Hands down. No contest. I think you know why.

Edit: But be careful, if you are a friendly 8hook/0k killer like me, at the exit gate and don't give them the love tap out of the door.
I have been accidentally "toxic/rude" by hitting the item out of their hand at the finish line on more than one occasion simply because I forgot that i had franklin's on from the match before or because I expected a bully squad.
That's a tax for letting them out.

#YoichiCosmetics please.
Unfortunately as a licensed character, their hands are kind of tied with adding cosmetics. Most companies are not as open as Capcom is being with Resident Evil. Second most open would be Konami with Silent Hill, third would be Lionsgate (Saw) The rest, they just really don't care about adding more cosmetics so BHVR can't do it.

Also, to be clear I am not saying I don't think something should be done (if it really is broken and isn't just a visual bug as I am pretty sure it is) but I don't think they are going to killswitch it. Should they? Maybe. But I don't think they will.

Yea, as others have said, it's purely visual. So no need to killswitch it.

You fail to understand the issue. I've killed all teams I've versed since my post. I've simply stopped playing nice. (With one exception as they had one AFK). I can still raise the bar a couple of times. Certainly once with add-ons, and one more with strong add-ons.
Now I have no choice but play efficiently. It's not fun for me and I'm pretty sure my opponents didn't enjoy it one bit.
I expect the tunnelling complains will rise along with the gen-rush ones.
My issue is I am not even tunneling or camping, at least not what I consider being such (and I play survivor too, so you know, I kinda have that going for me to determine if I would be mad at a killer doing what I am doing) but apparently I am because...

I played a killer against 4 people with DH. When I finally got the first, everyone took a hit inbetween me and the hook, them DH and off he came...
As alast resort I tought, well, let's wait and let him bleed out. But them again, they healed him up more than once and he got DH again. What makes me wonder how often can you use it? What resets the counter? Just an unhook? Or going from death state into wounded state?
It's an exhaustion perk. So basically it resets every 30 seconds as long as you are not sprinting (which causes the exhaustion timer to pause.) Walking, healing, doing a generator, cleansing a totem, 30 seconds and you have Dead Hard back. Just don't sprint.

I would allready have my last Adept on Wesker if any of these 3 things didn't happen. I got someone DC as last person when they got downed just in the end game, gg whole achievement ruined.
Yea, honestly they need to make it so a DC counts as a kill for the Adept because this is gorram ridiculous.
Not to mention the bug clown has right now that he can't look down because the cosmetic of his stomach clips like crazy with his vision. Is it realistic that someone with a belly that big can't see their feet? Yes, as someone with a fat belly (not that fat though) I can attest it is, but seriously for game play it's just something that needs to be fixed.

The problem is ping. If the killer has a better ping than you, they will down you even though on your end it said they shoudn't. On the other hand, it goes both ways. If you have a better ping than the killer, you get extra time on your Dead Hard window. This really isn't something that can be fixed even with server side validation because the person with the better ping will always get the win all other factors equal. That's just how the internet works.

The rank system gains bloodpoints and requires certain actions to gain ranks.
If a persons objective is to gain ranks as fast as possible to maximize bloodpoints at reset, the most effective way to do that is to get out of bad matches as fast as possible, and with no depips you can do this without penalty.
At that point you may as well just make it that you just have to play X amount of matches to go up a level and forego the pip system entirely. 10 games per rank play 100 games on each side and your done.
Since so many cracked players tell me "Its' not about how good you are, it's just how much you play" I'd love for that to be true. But the only ones who say that are the cracked players that regularly make it to Iridescent I. Me on the other hand, I seem to have a "TUNNEL ME DADDY" sign on my back no matter who I play and I play more than most of the streamers I follow. Killer side, I find meta boring so I dont run 4 slowdown perks (not to mention when you do, you get a bunch of disconnects which screws you over too) so ti's the same thing. 3-4 Gens pop before I even get one hook.

Yea, it still sometimes says "Merciless" due to the emblems system, but unless you get a 4K you won't get the achivement and yea a DC screws you over. Heck, just got out of a match that was going pretty good, then the Meg DCs and so I just left myself. Not wasting my time. If I wasn't going for Adept, I wouldn't have left but really. I don't mind losing to good players, but when one DCs, Im just screwed no matter how well I play. That's not fun.
