Problem is non of us was bad in this match. But he got 2 kills even with garbage perks. I doubt any killer can do this against good survivors.

Matchmaking isn't as strict as it used to be, and we have zero evidence that all 5 players are near the same MMR. When I'm playing survivor, I sometimes get matched with 8000+ hour killer streamers, and I certainly don't think that is a fair matchup, considering how rarely I play survivor.

Thanks for the suggestions here, we do have a few changes for the EMP's in particular ready for an upcoming hotfix. We'll be looking at reducing the EMP crates themselves to 4 per map, the generation time increased to 100s (currently 90s), and Survivors will also be slowed whilst charging an EMP by 10% as well as increasing the EMP charge time itself to 2.5s from the current 2s.
Duration of the pod disabling from an EMP will also be decreased down to 45s. There's also some score changes as we noticed Devious points were a little on the low side.
How do those sound?

My main issue with EMPs are people using them altruistically, especially when a SWF is using voice comms to coordinate teammates running over to EMP whoever is being chased... and this resulting in chases where a survivor has an EMP used on them 3-4 times in the same chase.

I just wish EMPs would not affect the biopods on other survivors, so we aren't giving extra rewards to people just because they are using voice comms. Slowing a survivor down, and increasing the charge time, just makes it more difficult for survivors to use EMPs on themselves, which affects solo q much more than SWFs.... Because when survivors use EMPs altruistically, it doesn't really matter if it slows them down, or if the charge time is increased, because they aren't being chased.

I just wish we could nerf EMPs in a way that doesn't just dump the majority of the burden onto solo q, especially when the proposed nerfs barely affect SWFs coordinating altruistic EMPs. And before anyone asks, I don't care if altruistic EMPs means an extra person isn't repairing a generator, because multiple EMPs in the same chase feels so awful, that I'm not caring if the survivors are playing the game to maximum efficiency.

Because if we made tierlist for the average survivor, then all killer are S tier, as the average soloQ team has no idea what they are doing.
So I guess yeah you could have a tierlist for that every killer is at the same tier.

I'm sure there is some middle ground, somewhere between "literally average" and "6000+ comp player", that is useful to more than the top 0.01% of the players.

Great points. the main thing I wanted to address was the recent map clutter I've noticed and how it may impact games on both sides, now is map clutter a bad thing? There are arguments on both sides whether or not that's true.
I appreciate the way you went into detail about how higher tier killers are the ones mainly affected and this lowers skill ceilings for them and in turn raises the skill ceiling for lower tier killers,
but lower tier killers i.e. Pinhead, Cannibal, Deathslinger, Twins, Myers, Singularity(Not saying he's weak but main ability suffers in maps with clutter) etc... will still be affected because most of their abilities rely on line of sight.
The "safe pallets" and "how map design should be" argument isn't something I can get into because I'm not a Dev.
Though surpluses of clutter for the sake of map balance in my opinion isn't optimal, I suppose I'd just have to adapt.
I'm also not going to tell BHVR to do this and that because game design (especially balancing) is already difficult enough and I can appreciate them trying to innovate and change up things so DBD doesn't get stale.
Thanks for putting your two cents into the discussion, it's given me good perspective maybe I'll revisit this topic later when I have more game sense and debate skills.

Extra clutter is awful because it makes it way harder to find survivors that are hiding around the map. Which means people are expecting killers to leave a hooked survivor to patrol the map, and if the other survivors are hiding, then it’s a losing situation for the killer, where the killer doesn’t find anyone, and the hooked survivor gets saved when the killer is far away.

If killers are expected to leave hooked survivors to patrol the map, then there should be a reasonable chance that the killer could find someone if they patrol the map. This can’t happen if there is too much clutter on the map.

Sure she has a high skill ceiling but she is undoubtedly the best killer

What is the point on making tier lists based off of 6000+ comp players? They don’t affect the vast majority of the players, and this information is useless to most people, as it doesn’t help the vast majority of players figure out which killers are top tier in the games they are personally playing in.

Also, if we really want to base tier lists off of the absolute best of the best, Blight is currently beating Nurse with a 1000+ win streak. Nurse got too many nerfs, and she doesn’t have any OP addons. Meanwhile, Blight still has all his OP addons.

in 7.0.0 Killer Tier List Comment by Coffeecrashing June 15, 2023

For the vast majority of the players, Nurse isn’t S tier anymore. And creating tier lists based off of 6000+ hour comp players is a waste of time.

I remember a time where most of my survivor matches were against Nurse, Blight, and Spirit…. but Nurse and Spirit have gotten huge nerfs since then, and now Blight and Wesker are over represented in my survivor games. It’s gotten to the point where I’m encountering more scary Huntress players than scary Nurse players.

1) Causes eye strain and headaches, because the map is too red…. and tracking red scratchmarks, red blood, and red auras, on a red map, is physically painful.

2) Too much ground clutter, and it feels like scratch marks aren’t properly showing up on ground clutter, which can cause gaps in scratchmarks, and more eye strain, because you might second guess whether or not the scratch marks are missing because of ground clutter, or if they’re missing because you didn’t strain your eyes enough to find them.

3) Still too much line of sight blockers, which makes it miserable to find hiding survivors. Are most killers expected to run around every object once or twice, to check if someone is hiding behind them? How is that reasonable?

4) Playing against windows of opportunity is awful, because those survivors know exactly where all the pallets are, but the killer is stuck which such bad visibility due to the line of sight blockers, that it’s difficult to know where the tiles are from a distance, and where the pallets are even supposed to spawn.

Killers are forbidden to lunge if they are too close to a survivor. It doesn't matter if a killer is holding a direction and the M1 button at the same time, because the game will force a short M1 tap attack if the killer tries to attack while right next to a survivor.
I'd even claim that many of the aim dressing complaints involve this short M1 tap bug, because if a killer is expecting to be able to do a full lunge attack, and they purposely turn their camera toward an object because lunges have zero object collision (and therefore they are expecting to be able to curve around objects with their lunge), that when the killer is forced into a short M1 tap attack, they can easily hit an object next to them and think the problem was aim dressing.
BHVR should also look into the possibility that the game might be forcing short M1 tap attacks, even though the survivor might be out of range by the time the hit validation snapshots are taken, which means that the forced short M1 tap attack might be stealing a hit, because the killer could have reached the survivor if they were allowed to lunge attack.

Killers are forbidden to lunge if they are too close to a survivor. It doesn't matter if a killer is holding a direction and the M1 button at the same time, because the game will force a short M1 tap attack if the killer tries to attack while right next to a survivor.

This means that killers have an M1 deadzone, that is near the max length of the forced M1 zone. M1 attacks are unreliable in the M1 deadzone. Survivor 360s try to trigger this bug, hoping that when the killer starts to hold M1, that the killer is close enough to get a forced short M1 attack, but when hit validation happens the killer is too far away for a short M1 attack to succeed.

They're not equivalent statements, no. Because "close enough to interrupt a save" is the one that matters, and "directly next to" is the one that doesn't; if you're close enough to interrupt a save, it doesn't matter exactly how close, that's the range where standing still and camping is a problem, and thus the range that any anti-facecamp methods should be looking at. Facecamp vs proxy camp has been more about whether you're patrolling or standing still for a while now, anyway.
Of course, I'll reiterate, it could be that the extra radius added is too much and it has to be shrunk. We'll have to test it to be sure.

There also needs to be testing of what the killer is supposed to do if a survivor purposely stands on the opposite side of the hook, just out of facecamping range.... and forces the killer to either run through the facecamping range, or forces the killer to awkwardly walk around the facecamping range in a giant circle. It would be even worse if two survivors were doing this (so the killer and both survivors are in a triangle shape, right outside the facecamping range), where the survivors are trying to bait the killer into entering the facecamping range. And yes, survivors would try to bait the killer into entering the facecamping range.

The survivor radius might need to be larger than the killer radius, to stop this from happening.

"Directly next to" only matters if the killer can change gameplay because of it. Ergo, facecamping is standing close enough to the hook that you can interrupt a save. Add in a little extra radius to encourage actually leaving instead of standing slightly further away, and you get a larger radius than you might necessarily consider facecamping in a vacuum.

No. 16 yards is not "adding a little extra radius". Also, "directly next to" and "close enough to interrupt a save" are not equivalent statements.

If BHVR wants to call this an anti-camping mechanism, then fine.... but 16 yards being considering facecamping is completely unreasonable. Why is BHVR going through all this effort to massively change the definition of facecamping? Why won't they just admit it's an anti-camping mechanism? It would be the right thing to do.

Edit: Or even better, they can make up a new term, like "close camping", so they aren't breaking the existing definitions of face camping and proxy camping.

It's not that far off, though.
Facecamping is standing close enough to the hook to prevent a rescue, which given speeds in this game would be, what, ten to twelve metres? Add a little extra distance to dissuade killers from just standing on the very edge, and sixteen does seem like a reasonable number.
It's all speculation until we can test it, of course, but I personally feel like proxy camping involves a patrol route further than that sixteen metre radius.

What if it takes 60 seconds of the killer standing at 16m for the survivor to be able to unhook themselves? What if the system takes a few seconds for it to kick on? They can make it so proxy camping is unaffected by the mechanic and players looking to sit right next to hook the entire time are punished. It being up to 16m doesn't really mean anything without the full numbers for the mechanic.

Considering that facecamping used to mean "a killer standing so close to a hooked survivor that it's preventing other survivors from unhooking, because swivel hooks didn't exist back then, and facecamping literally used to 100% make it impossible to unhook"....

.... It's ok if people want to evolve the word to mean "directly next to a hooked survivor", but 16 yards is completely unreasonable.

The problem is some players want to use this as an excuse to nerf certain killers.

If a game change nerfs all killers, then compensation buffs should also affect all killers. Otherwise, people will have an ulterior motive, where they are just using this situation to nerf certain killers.

I did not play that PTB, only watched it. What was so bad about it?

Survivors were having builds with some combination of Flip Flop / Boil Over / Tenacity / Breakdown / Unbreakable, and they were spending entire games trying to force situations where the killer couldn’t hook a survivor.

And during this PTB, Unbreakable would double self recovery speed, which meant that if a hook is sabotaged, then the survivor could pick themselves up before the hook respawned. And if a hook was broken due to Breakdown (or because of a sacrifice), then survivors would purposely run to the broken hook, so if the killer knocked them to the ground, then the killer couldn’t hook them.

@Nazzzak said:
I feel like the devs need to clarify this. The person asking the question didn't mention the Finisher Mori. They were asking about Unbreakable basekit in general, since there's alot of complaints about slugging. The dev answered no to the question, then asked if he/she was referring to the Finisher Mori and said they're still making changes. Basekit UB on it's own would be an obvious no, but as part of the Mori it'd be nice to get a clear answer.
I can't see the Finisher Mori working without survivors being able to pick themselves up. It promotes slugging over hooking and will drive players away.

I don’t really think it would move the kill rate by any meaningful amount, if we had a finisher mori without basekit UB. The vast majority of the games where all four survivors are slugged at the same time, is a win for the killer if they just left everyone to bleed out on the ground.

The biggest counter argument, of “whatabout unbreakable”, I think is rare. We basically need someone to have unbreakable, but not have a chance to use it before the last survivor is knocked to the ground. Yes, this can happen, but the number of games where the finisher mori would save time, would greatly outweigh the number of games where the survivors could have somehow escaped after all the survivors were slugged.

You're using perfect scenarios for your argument, which rarely happen in solo que and are more likely to happen in SWF groups particularly with looping killers. I know your response to that is "everyone should just get better" but I know that is not going to happen and killers will continue to abuse slugging because they know everyone isn't going to use self pickup perks. Being left in the dying state for long periods of time has been something talked about here and within the community of the game for years. I'm not asking for the ability of being able to unconditionally pick myself up from the dying state. In fact if you read my posts here about this subject you'll see I argue the exact opposite and think that the situation should be conditional. I'm completely aware that there are situations where the killer leaving a downed survivor on the ground for a few moments makes sense. If you down a survivor and see another nearby then it makes sense. However to leave a survivor in the dying state for prolonged periods of time, especially for full bleed outs, is not necessary and in my opinion is completely toxic. If you equate that to "having my hand held" then you and I have completely different perspectives on what equates to fun and fairness in this game.
If the killer knows they have no more than a minute to hook a downed survivor then the issue of slugging would be over. The power difference between the killer and survivors is bigger than you think. Survivors have to deal with repairing generators, unhooking, healing each other and often times worry about hex totems all while avoiding the killer. The killer doesn't suffer from the same down time survivors do. Our time to recover works in the killer's advantage because for every second we have to deal with everything that doesn't involve repairing a generator is a second the killer gains to find someone and reset all or a lot of our recovery progress. Leaving downed survivors for prolonged periods of time crosses the line of fairness when survivors already have to spend half their time recovering from injuries and unhooks.
Also just to be clear, this isn't as much of a problem when only 1 survivor is down and 3 others are still in the match. It becomes a problem when 2 or more are down and the killer simply refuses to hook them. It plays too much in the killer's favor, especially when killers get addons that are so powerful they could be considered an extra power like instant down addons. All I want is for killers to focus on the hook objective more than relying on slugging. Being downed and unable to do anything but sit there bored out of your mind is something survivors shouldn't have to deal with under any circumstance.

Killers don’t always have the option to hook survivors, especially when the survivors are purposely trying to place themselves in situations where they can’t be hooked. Killers should not be punished for leaving survivors to bleed out, if the killer can’t reliably get the survivors to a hook.

BHVR also should fix the gen spawning and hook spawning rules…..

It’s a problem when generators spawn too close to each other. But it’s also a problem when some generators are so far away, that killers feel they shouldn’t even try to defend them

It’s a problem when survivors are left to bleed out on the ground, but it’s also a problem when hooks spawn so far away from each other, that slugged survivors might be too far away to be hooked (and some survivors purposely try to get knocked down in places that are too far away to be hooked)

Maps have a major design flaw, where they can have so many connected tiles and resources, that a killer might feel that it’s more efficient to stay in the same tile until they reach bloodlust 2 or 3, than it would be to break a pallet and follow the survivor to the next tile.

And maps have a major design flaw, there they can have so many connected tiles and resources, that equipping windows of opportunity can allow survivors an easy mode way of extending chases, where they can just run from tile to tile, and pre drop pallets instead of being required to try any sort of mind games or advanced tactics.

Visual TR does 0 for people without disabilities. Sure the 1st implementation was too "forgiving" giving huge advantage against onryo. That's no longer the case. This is true accessibility feature.
Survivor HUD was never meant to be accessibility feature. It's purely gap-closing feature to allow soloQ to be less miserable compared to SWF. There's nothing more to it. Any competent SWF get exactly 0 benefit from HUD, because same and more information is already shared between them as is.
And FoV techs are mindgames. Especially when Oni runs at you with your ability and you just hide behind the barrel. If Oni sees you or expects you to do this, then you as a survivor just die. If you use shadowborn, you will see said survivor hiding behind the barrel - completely negating any option (AKA mindgame in this case) survivor could have done. Exactly the same thing would have been the case if stretched res returned to the game for survivors - it would be again possible to track killers above walls - negating anything they could do to get the hit.

FoV techs work against competitive players. If you can't pull it off, then that's your problem. The case I was talking about before with Oni (and same thing applies to blights) is prime example that happens way more often in high level play then in average-to-beginner level.
Also it's not niche. Against competent blight/oni and to lesser degree nurse/spirit hiding mid-chase (for a very very short time) is one of very few options you have. FOV is paramount there.
And your example with deaf people ignores the fact, that they get LESS benefit than healthy people - visual TR gives exactly 0 extra information. That's the biggest difference. Even if visual TR is nice, you will not get extra distance on killer or escape a hit because of it (well the 1st implementation was broken - but it was rightfully criticized and fixed).
And again. You calling the perk F-tier doesn't make it so. The perk is very good on high mobility killers. You can call it F-tier on said clown where it only helps against 360's or window techs or any other animation-lock-fov-techs there are. That's not much. But on mobility killers, it's quite often difference between hit and miss.

If we're going to be picky, visual TR also helps streamers and SWFs. Some survivors are either talking, or listening to other people talk, and that noise can block survivors from hearing faint terror radius noises. This is fine though, because it's an accessibility change, and accessibility changes are allowed to affect game balance, because the accessibility is more important than the game balance.

I don't care if you see some people use the perk. It's still very often listed at the bottom of tier lists, and as multiple people have said before, accessibility changes are allowed to affect game balance.

Any anti-camping mechanic needs address one of the biggest reasons why camping happens.... which is the fact that if survivors are hiding, and the killer leaves the hook to patrol the map.... that the killer might not find anyone, and the survivors would get a free unhook, which means the killer is much worse off than if they had camped instead.

The camping issue is a problem on both sides of the game. If the killer is supposed to be punished if they refuse to chase multiple survivors, then survivors need to be punished if they refuse to interact with the killer.

I mean I always thought the aesthetic was hideous (Same for every map we've gotten after Midwich tbh) and tbh I like the idea of more clutter and moving to a more stealth based gameplay but the sound issues definitely seem like someone wasn't thinking it through lol. Thanks for letting me know

Part of the issue with more clutter was that it really messed up scratchmarks. Some of the ground clutter (low to the ground clutter) seemed like scratchmarks couldn’t appear on them, so if a survivor ran through a bunch of ground clutter, you might not get an actual scratch mark trail.

And more clutter means that if you don’t get a proper scratch mark trail, that it’s super awful to track survivors, because survivors are constantly out of the killer’s line of sight, so the killer really needs to use scratch marks to follow the survivors.

I haven't kept up with this chapter at all whats not liked about the new map?

1) Headaches and nausea caused by the new map

2) Difficulty in tracking scratchmarks, regardless if the player is colorblind

3) Clutter being bumped up to like 500%, which makes tracking survivors even more difficult

4) Ground clutter sometimes being huge, blocking way too much of the screen, and also makes it more difficult to track survivors

5) Sound occlusion issues with tracking survivors, due to clutter being bumped up to like 500%, so survivors are very often not in line of sight, or separated from the killer by multiple line of sight blockers.

6) Too many colors on the new map, and too much red on the new map, which causes eye stain when trying to follow red scratchmarks and red pools of blood.

I want toolboxes to no longer have increased chances of skill checks, so they won't super combo with hyperfocus and fogwise.

If someone asks about an FoV slider during reddit question time, will BHVR respond, or does "we want to answer as many questions as possible" exclude this topic?

Agreed.
DBD Mobile (which is treated completely different as base game DBD because it is managed and run by a company other than BHVR) has it so the player is automatically replaced by a bot, taking all of their perks, appearance, hook state, and position. One can assume that BHVR is going to do the same here.
One thing that Im curious about is if BHVR is going to loosen up DC requirements when this system is implemented, since I still a DC penalty is needed, to not disturb match flow, but it should at least be loosened so busy individuals dont get punished as much if they need to log off.

The DC penalties should be increased when the bots are released. We don’t want the game to have a big increase in DCs, just because a bunch of players think it’s more acceptable to DC if they’re getting replaced by a bot.

Why would i care if this bug is fixed? What are you on about lmao. I just told you why i think the isnt a big uproar about it.

Your reason is incorrect though. The bug happens a lot, and many survivors purposely try to get the bug to happen. The lack of outrage is because the bug favors survivors.
