I know they interrupt solving a box but I think bhvr is nerfing that soon.

The issue with the box and chains is that when you're doing the solve interaction, sometimes you still get pestered by random chains. That's likely what'll be changed I think

The summoned chains interrupting the box won't be changed, I'm sure of it.

The whole reason why survs are oblivious and revealed with killer instinct is to give Pinhead a chance to interrupt & get the box by downing the survivor solving it

@EvilJoshy said:
While we're on the subject of pinhead. Do his chains interrupte hook rescues? I saw someone going for a save and I was too far. I chained them and without breaking any, they made the save.

They don't interrupt saves but they will remain on the survivor after they are unhooked

This also applies to exit gate switches.

I think these are the only two interactions chains don't interrupt

Red ranks don't exist anymore

Also she's def not the least played killer according to stats, that would be Twins iirc

She's got the lowest killrate in the game though, for whatever that's worth. Not conclusive but a neat bit of data

They can easily circumvent that. The SCREAM movies didn't PATENT the "killer calls them on the phone" scheme. xD

His original mori had him using a flip-phone to take the survivors picture instead of a camera

however I imagine that came before they had wrote the lore of him being an actual photographer and article writer, so it's probably much more likely they changed the mori to better represent that.

Their logic baffles me

They blatantly cheat in a video game, robbing you of a legitimate match and they have the gall to ask why you're complaining?

Renewal

You'd be surprised how much time it saves in the long run if you can get it working

Typical for killer I'd simp for agitation but I'm gonna switch gears and recommend Play with your food instead

It's not easy to use nor is it super effective on all killers but I can't deny that it's fun to mess with survivor muscle memory by being faster than they expect me to be.

Ok. So killer always hard. Solo survivor "sometimes" hard.

Yeah I'd agree with that

Then again Killer can actually sometimes be easy but I feel that's a matchmaking thing

No doubt in my mind that Killer is harder role by default to me. Especially if you're newer

Yeah. That's obviously post Entity. And it looks better.
Also, this is mostly a bait post requesting actual winter gear on killers instead of rags and naked blue flesh.

A ghostface cosmetic which has a hood that covers his whole face apart from the bottom of the mask would be hilarious

I'd buy it

I know this post is late. I have no issues with the icicle weapon or the mask.
It's just the body. Why can we see parts of his body. I thought this one was supposed to be professional. More well put together. Completely concealed. Prepared for his kills.
Pointless gripes aside why can we not get a killer wearing a down parka and actual winter gear? Why are all of them half frozen, half naked, instead of actually prepared for their environment?

Doesn't Blighted ghostface have his entire stomach pouring out or smth

I thought the Glacial cosmetic was a similar kinda thing

legit looked everywhere legitimate. looked on teh wiki, ive googled it, checked 3 pages of google, checked dbd threads--nothing says how LONG the frenzy lasts, without mods. trust me, I really, really, REALLY tried to look. if you would be so kind, and since its so easy for you, please send me a link that has this encyclopedia of information of every stat of every character in game, because I cant find it myself.
and playing around her TVs, doesnt seem to do anything. unless youre willing to hold a tape teh entire game, or are really good at looping, theres hardly ANYTHING ive seen anyone can do against this killer. every game ive ever played with her i dont see more than 2 gens pop. her semi-stealth while is easy to see, its only easy if youre OBJECTIVELY LOOKING FOR IT. If i just happen to blink at the wrong time, i could miss her phasing animation as shes approaching, and most of the time her TVs are right next to a gen or objective, so listening for her is almsot impossible because the TVs drown out so much ambient noise--unless i take the tape. but even if I am able to get an audio or visual warning, theres hardly enough time for me to react. if she craws out of a TV, shes about 2m from me at max, and the audio cue maybe gave me a 1-2 head start on her. if i visually see her coming, thats about a 30m headstart and tahts ONLY if I saw her wayyyyy over there as she was phasing.
ive been trying to find youtube videos on how to counter her and literally every "counter" video i can find is just some looping GOD going "lul so easy" which isnt an option for me. with 300+ hours in the game i know what sounds are supposed to sound like, and the static noise everyone calls her lullaby hardly counts as a cue to me because the entire game is affected by a static affect, both visually and audio.

If you're looking for learning resources, you can find what you're looking for on each killers individual page:

https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Frank,_Julie,_Susie,_Joey for example

The amount of time Frenzy lasts for example IS on there, it's just worded a bit weirdly, to quote:

Feral Frenzy:

Power Charges: 10 charges
Coupled with a Power Depletion rate of 1 c/s, this makes Feral Frenzy last for 10 seconds.

However if the wiki isn't smth that's being helpful, might I suggest a youtube channel for you?

I play video games. I make videos about Dead by Daylight that hopefully help people learn more about the game and improve their gameplay.

This guy has a whole series on DBD's killers and breaking down how their power works, all their addons and so on. Some of his videos are a bit outdated now but the majority of them still apply and he made efforts to make follow ups to reworked killers

I think a better buff would be making it pause if you're put into the dying state and resuming once you're back up

I find it really unnecessary that it deactivates when you're downed, the activation condition of having to fully heal somebody should be enough.

That's what I was referring to as well. However a large issue is small streamers often self promote (twitch name on steam page or username). People will quickly check to see if their streaming. Its kind of a problem with no solution. Promote your twitch channel, increase the risk of being sniped. Don't promote, remain a small channel. I think its just part of being a streamer honestly, you will get sniped, it can't be avoided. It just so happens DBD is the type of game that allows for people to easily get enjoyment ruining someone else's fun.

I've seen some people who don't have TTV/don't have stuff on their profile who are streamers have their stuff found as well, some people are just curious and will search your username on twitch before or after a match

I guess it comes with the territory of being a streamer yeah. Sucks but what can you do.

in Stream sniping Comment by Brokenbones April 10, 2022

@Icaurs said:
So I'm going to be very careful with what I say, as I do not want people learning how to do this but let me explain how stream snipping works.
Some people use player usernames to snipe, however this method is not every effective.
There are hacks that can be purchased through the internet, I will not say where, and I do not encourage, be warned that people who attempt this run the risk of downloading the wrong hack and being doxed. These hacks allow for a variety of features, most notably a stream snipping mod. Imagine there is a quee of people waiting to join a lobby. This hack can show where each player is in, based on the quee, not off their username, but their steam iD. You could hide the player name for the entire match and this would accomplish very little. Even worse the hack shows when a person is about to connect to a lobby and if you attempt to connect at this moment you will connect to their lobby It is not completely guaranteed I think its around a 75% chance that it works. Its even worse as there is a gorup that has colleciton of prominent DBD streamer IDs, and therefore simply has to wait until that steam id connects to a quee, so they don't even need to watch the stream. This is why certain content creators will be sniped, sometimes 10-20 times in a row.
Again I do not encourage this and want something done to stop this, I only poste this to explain in detail why stream snipng in DBD is so bad

No offence to anybody in this thread who's a streamer but

From what I understand the cheaters who streamsnipe usually only target the semi-big to bigger streamers because more people will see their shenanigans + they think they can get reactions out of people. In one of Choy's videos about cheaters he shows the 'List' they have of people. It specifically mentions if they are a big streamer/how big and such. Also reasons to target them, which is odd but w/e right?

I highly doubt cheaters go after the smaller streamers too often, I'd wager most streamsniping that happens is usually from the killer seeing a ttv name or checking a steam profile and then putting it on a 2nd monitor or smth. It's not techincally against DBD's rules (As in they don't ban you for it) so yeah.

There is about the same level of interaction that happens in most base games really, it’s just confined to the endgame.
As usual people have just put a bunch of narrow assumptions on how it plays and get all snotty about it. Then sit around thumbing their self righteous noses at anyone who doesn’t play the game they way they want them to.
You are only blocking the box for the first half, it’s not that different from getting a camped out kill and then playing out the endgame in a 3 v 1 only it takes less vigilance to guard the box than the hook and you skip the first chase.
I’d say they’ll probably patch it out by making boxes accessible from other directions much like hooks. Until then give it a try you may shock yourself and like it.

It is very different from someone getting camped out

For a start, the killer has to actually win a chase and hook a survivor before they can camp and/or tunnel somebody out. Many people would have you believe this is difficult and thus takes skill which also means it's entirely possible for you not to catch anybody in a chase.

There is also things you can do to actually stop or delay somebody who is being camped to death - there are perks for that and things a player can actively do to hinder a killer's playstyle which means there is a back and forth. This, not so much.

Many people will make the argument that survivors either don't have to work very hard to escape or that they would if they weren't carried by their perks, so with that in mind why shouldn't killers also have to work for their kills? Why should somebody's gamestate be basically already decided when they spawn in because of something the killer decided to do?

Again I repeat this argument a lot but at the very least Basement bubba requires you to catch somebody, that's way more than this asks of you to do.

Killer is hard. Solo survivor isn't.

Not a fair conclusion to come to imo

Killer is typically always hard due to the 4 v 1 nature and many other factors

Solo survivor is hard depending on various circumstances out of a solo players control. SWF is easier because you can tell your teammates what to do/coordinate properly
