Still not sure why all you killers hate SWF. I get more hooks, kills, and points during a SWF than I do against a bunch of solo players who dont care that the other guy is being chased hooked or killed. A few times i got gen rushed and came out with less points. Is this like a high end killer problem? As a survivor so many solo players have left me on a hook (first hook) when they could have came and got me with no trouble and I died.Look at the depip squad games. If a SWF decides to genrush, the killer goes out with very few points
Key word "if". personally I have had it happen to me twice. I dont play everyday but on the days I do I put in 4 - 6 hours easily. If it is as much of a problem as you state wouldnt I have had it happen a bit more? I got about 100 hours as killer and about 250 as survivor and from both sides never seen many gen rushes happen.

Why do survivors rage quit in 100% offering games then?EqMonkVeeshan said:again the thing that drives survivors is bloodpoints so this would work. I do not know a single survivor who would literally willingly pass up an opportunity to get a 100% bloodpoints boost in a match. unless they was absolutely getting destroyed in the match. and if offerings and perks also stacked with this boost yea not a single survivor would pass it up.
-
If the devs really adapted their DC punishment system, then half of the survivor base will be banned after the event.
Survivors use it as strategy to rush flowers until they are full / no flowers left, then they DC and head to the next game

Footage?
Melee hits work all the same way in DBD:Dont forget that wraith is faster directly after uncloak

Nope

Survivors might be switching to killer now to get their pials.
Remember that the community usually is split into 1:4 roughly, but now both sides have to play survivor and killer equally which causes higher killer qeuue time naturally
-
Good idea, poor implementation.
It is now a gigantic farmfest and basically a race until all flower are gone.
Then the survivors DC/suicide and it begins all over again.

Killer's disconnect - survivor might lose offerings or addins, but they all get to continue to a fresh game.Survivor Disconnects - everybody still in the game is now in a tainted game and has to finish the damn thing or get penalized as well.
Don't act like the killer disconnecting is a bigger deal for even a moment.
Killer DC nukes the entire match of four people, four peoples offerings and the time spent waiting in a lobby is for nothing.
Survivor DCs - everyone still gets to earn points and some survivors might even escape.
yea ok buddy, killer dcing is definitely more preferred.
As a survivor, I'd rather a killer Ragequit and let me cash in the points I got rather than dealing with being a man short for the rest of the game. Thus, that's my mindset.
Killer who quits screws himself more in the end because he wasted his offering, all his points, and loses 3 pips. Survivors still get to keep their points, don't lose rank, and get a new game right away.
Survivors leaving screws their remaining teammates of a competitive game. Every moment a survivor is alive is a moment the killer has to worry about their hands on a generator. every person not in the game is pressure off the killer. They screw their team more than a killer ragequitting.
So objectively - yes, it's worse for everybody involved when a survivor quits. Only person who really benefits from it is the killer who gets free points and less hands on generators.
That isn't what's happening and you don't get it. Killers have found a way to dc where the survivors lose their items, get 0 bp and lose 2 pips(sometimes). Objectively it IS NOT worse when a survivor quits because 0 bp and lost item vs 600 bp and you can still get the other 3.
Well, good luck getting that fixed, because survivors still have a way to disconnect from the game without losing their item and leaving a duplicate in the game. XD
Actually they've essentially fixed that. I DC if a camper downs me and you do lose your item just if you have another item similar you can keep your add on to it. Stop acting like this is not an issue.
I plan on finding out how they're doing it and I will do it nonstop until it's fixed.
0 BP, 2 depip, and lost item for 4 people is nowhere near the same as a survivor dc'ing.
You just gotta love the DBD community. Always a pleasure to see that guys like you play the game
Why because the devs have been blatantly ignoring this for 2 months? At this point the only way they'll listen is if it becomes more widespread.
I just had it happen to me twice again today. Lost 2 green toolboxes and event offerings. If they're going to stay silent, I'll make it a plague until they're forced to do or say something. I guess the sit ins and protests that blocked streets during the civil rights movement was also a bad idea right? The devs are [BAD WORD] up by leaving this in and the only way to make them act is to enlarge it.
So we agree that DCing needs to be punished hard?
How about an increasing queue time punishment?
First DC 5 min, 2nd 10, 3rd 15, 4th 30.

Yeah seems like the forum is coded in spaghetti code too.
Undefinded call, couldnt find xyz etc etc

I don't care about the survive with friends Squad because I'm just trying to get some blood points. However what the hell is this.I'm sorry but seriously now. I thought you made ranked for a reason. I'm pretty sure it wasn't this.
Why in God's name am I fighting nothing but ranked fours at rank 9.
I'm so sorry but seriously dedicated servers are kind of needed. I'm getting sick of seeing this crap
This is why you dodge SWF. It simply breaks matchmaking, there is no other way to word this.

@Global said:
People are suiciding alot right now to get to a new game because once all the nectar is gone you just want to get into a new game to harvest moreYes, I will probably do the same because my first few games as survivor have been a complete mess with sandbagging etc just becuse of their greed.

@Tsulan said:
So i completed 6 p3 lvl 50 bloodwebs as killer and got exactly 1 per web. Shouldn´t that number be a little higher?
Completed 1 lvl 35 bloodweb as survivor and got 3.Also we should be able to fill a fresh vial each match, not enter a match with 2/3 completed and 4 offerings burned, only to get 1/3.
I spent almost a million BP on a freshly prestiged killer and I got around 70-80 of those

@BloodyNights said:
I think this event is horrible, the summer event was much better. With the cocktail machines being gens. At least we got rewarded for doing objectives.Survivors just got a nerf to healing, this event rolls around and basically asks us to not work on any objectives and instead extract nectar from plants which takes quite a bit of time. Go through killers who are also using ruin and sloppy butcher. It's beyond killer biased. Killers on the other hand get rewarded by just doing objectives aka hooking survivors which is what they do anyways. Except they have way more time on their hands to kill the survivors than they normally would because of it. It feels like a serious chore as a survivor as well, sitting through long heal times, sitting through nectar extraction, sitting on gens etc. It's just frustrating to me, and I don't know why they didn't see the obvious bias towards the killers side.
And the result were insane genrush matches.
As a killer main I abandonded playing killer once I got my 40 hooks, then I genrushedas survivor to farm some BP.Wasnt that exciting, but BP are BP and as survivor you can relax, liten to music and even eat while holding M1^^

So I know my account is new but I've been playing for a few months now(no saying I'm pro or even good) I consider myself a decent killer and so don't belive in camping in most situations but I played a game as the nurse because I'm leveling her up and I'm in game hook the first survivor in the basement and the team proceeds to swarm the basement. I hooked 2 down there and the other to show up and as I go to chase them they don't leave the area needless to say I end up hooking them all in that area. After the game I get invited to a party and it was a 3 man swf group that starts talking trash about me camping. It totally blew my mind. I don't know what else I could of done really all my objectives were in one spot if I left I would of been staying around doing nothing at all it was just to funnyDont worry about salty survivors.
Usually a large amount of salt is an indication that you did well.
Gz on your 4k hope you rek them again

I'm not reading all of that because... my god just look at it...You can't say you were robbed of your 4kill if you let the survivors do 2 gens (esp with the current event). You didn't earn it. You're not entitled to it or anything else. Work for your gains or be happy with what you've earned.
Guys like you are the ones that go insane when they are slugged
-
You do realize that every player will play both sides?
Also its a complete mess at the moment, some survivors even let themselves be grabed of the planets - thats how desperate they are -

@DeadByFlashlight
No I'm not telling you to git gud, I assume that someone who has over 1500 posts in this forum is not just some casual player. What I'm saying is it just hasn't got anything to do with SWF but with the mechanics of how survivors can play out the killer. It's not coincidence the good people are found in teams, you already stated that good players like to team up and I agree. Happened to me a few times as well, I made friends with someone random who was really good and we had a lot of fun playing that match, and so we now play once in a while. Makes perfect sense.Well, there is more to skill than just pure time you spend in a game. Take noob3 vs tru3talent for example. Noob once said he had something like <1000 hours in the game, tru3 has double or triple as much. Noob3 has played the game not nearly as long and intensly as Tru3, but has the mechanics figured out way better. Even when I compare myself to Tru3, I can definitely say I'm just as good as him with having played only since November last year with maybe sth like 500 hours.
So much to the argument that people struggle with SWF so much who basically breathe DBD. Just because you do something for a long time doesn't mean you are really good at it. Many people who stream I don't find particularly good, and those who I find good never cry as much about SWF. Tru3 does, like all the time.If you get an SWF team, take it as a challenge, and take the loss if you lose, or take the win if you win.
What I said about the verbal communication is pretty realistic and good players are good, in a team or as randoms, and even with voice comms, every survivor has to carefully evaluate the information he gets from his teammates, and a good player will know he can not 100% trust a verbal info because things change so fast, comms can't keep up.
Here's a short example of how voice comms help if you don't use brain:
A: "He's chasing me"
B: "Alright" hides instead of moving away"
B: *gets hit
B: "######### you said he was chasing you??"
A: "He was until a second ago, I was about to tell you he left me"Get my point?
Yeah True handicaps himself because he wants to be a "nice killer". If he would actually play tactically, tunnel and camp in certain situations, then this would be sth different, but he doesnt do that and that makes him a worse killer than he could be.
Your voice comm example would be the communication of a beginner SWF, which are definitely no problem.
Just like in other comptitive games (csgo perfect example), you can use certain parts of the map to describe location very accurately and evne though the maps are not always 100% the same, this tactic works in DBD too.
Maybe watch a few games of the depip squad and listen to their communication, then you will get a rough ideaTake knockout for example, voice comms completely deny its effect^^

@Claudette_Baguette said:
I will probably get downvoted but please read my post first...I was really excited for the event and really like the skins and bonus objectives all that but I have to say that this event also encourages bad, toxic, and unfun playstyles.
The main problem: You can't get normal games anymore.
As a survivor, my fellow survivors just want to get their serum gathered ASAP. They don't unhook or do gens until they gathered everything.
After that they want to die as quickly as possible and move on to the next game and gather new serum. Until they die they just farm each other off the hook, try to rescue themselves and then don't struggle.
It's really, really bad if you ask me.
As a killer I can't get normal games either. I let survivors get their serums 3 or 4 games but after that it just gets boring because everyone expects you to farm and if you don't do that they just dc...
In my opinion this event was not really thought out. While having side objectives is nice, previous events didn't encourage this sort of behaviour.
What do you think and what are your experiences with the event so far?
It was a bad idea to give everyone an individual score. All nektar that is collected until you die should count towards your phial progress, similarly to how the previous event works.

Just_Meh said:I just run around get my serum and Sabo other survivors.
Why should I help them?
Devs forced me to play survivor. That's what they wanted.
Survivors need to learn that without killers there is no game.
Devs have figured it out.
I don't agree with you. The game doesn't just depend on the killer. There will be no survivors, the killer will run with himself. In this game there was equality before the latest updates and events, and now this #########, honestly. I'm not going to waste my nerves on this game. If the developers do not care about their players, and the main goal is money.
If there will be no survivor soon, why are my killer queues fast AF then? Oh right, because the game is still survivor sided

@PLAVT said:
Great Halloween event? You are happy? - Not!
Hello dear players. Hopefully, the developers will also notice this message with a statement. The problem is this, do not think that I am crying. I share my opinion about this event. You have made an update that cuts badly all the survivors in general, who are currently disabled. The time to heal yourself is increased, you won't find blackboards on the map with windows when you need it, but it's okay, I put up with it. Only here is today's Halloween update that completely killed me .... I personally play on PS4. The game has me and my friends wild sitting in Fps. So strong that 360,180 and fakes do not do for good. About the event itself, namely rotten flowers, I inform the following ... did you try to play the matches completely from beginning to end, where everyone performs his personal task? I think not .... Why was it necessary to invent something new? I'm talking about flowers for survivors! Everyone wants to collect the juice, thus losing time to collect it. During the time of picking up the juice, the killer is already catching one survivor in a good case, and in the bad - two. Generators at this moment in general, no one starts, because they collect the juice. In addition, the survivors still have to look for totems that also do not allow the generator to start, or then will not allow to leave because of NOED! For all the time of the game with our professional team, which we play, we did not run away at once, but I will say that we play excellently. This is not the best result of your event, sorry. You are trying to completely destroy the survivors and break their game. The killer for the collection need only be planted on the survivor's hook they need, when the survivors must perform additional tasks. It is dishonest and ruins the game for the survivors ahead of time! The best thing you could bring in this event is to make a combination of flowers with generators, as it was in past events. Either make the possibility of a general collection. One collects, and juice is distributed to all survivors. A bright example of a good, working system is the BBQ event.
Now we have a disgusting system of gameplay for the survivors, who cannot escape anyway, ng and juice can not be collected, but I’m not talking about Bloodpoints at all ...... I, as a player, received only one big negative from this update and the event as a whole .I just stopped playing for survivors now, but playing for killers, because it’s easier for them, even a stupid fool can win any playing killer. Although initially the game was aimed at a personal skill. But now it’s just an arcade game without a skill. Lags even with green pinging ... An event that spoils the nerves of everyone survivors, not only me. Therefore, all those who have problems with the event, my advice is to play only for maniacs, since the survivors are purposely destroyed in the game ....First you complain that you cant rush gens because of the second objective and then you complain NOED.
So what? You cant get the gens done or you die to NOED?This doesnt make any sense.
And btw, if you dont rush the lowers like an idiot and actually use your brain, you can do both objectives quite efficiently

@Exciter said:
I haven't had a single good game as survivor since the event started. It seems like there's a killer bias due to their event points coming from hooks, something killers do already, but survivors have to go out of their way and focus on an extra objective for nectar instead of it coming from generators, which makes more sense, no?
Plus I'm getting really annoyed at the little event window that comes up after every game after getting some nectar, and the post-game lobby seems to be a bit buggy now.Sucks that you cant rush gens and leave after 5 mins

-The sense of accomplishment is completely missing because the skins can be also purchased and that EVEN after the event has ended.The event is just a bad version of a 2x BP event if you ask me.
So much hype and work going into sth and then it feel so cheap....
This event is a bad joke in my opinion. I mean seriously, let's give survivors an extra objective to complete, which gives Killers more time to find them, and then on top of that lets take away progress from Survivors if they die. I don't see the Killers having to do anything extra or lose anything if Survivors get away. I'm already sick to death of this dumbass event and it hasn't even been live for more than 12 hours.

Killers get more blood points per match. Imagine getting less blood points per match oh wait. Even still once again losing your add ons doesn't compare to this so stop talking you've already been proven wrong.
As I said, survivor keep their items and killers always lose their addons
But gobahead and cry more maybe the devs take action then such that we can get proper dc punishment and survivors are not able to dc every 2nd game anymore -

Anyone else notice that ever since the event started players have been even more toxic. Every game i have had so far has had players bodyblocking while I'm chasing a survivor and while I try to get my hooks and that was 2 minutes into the game. This is getting ridiculous.Flashlights are everywhere now and they seem to be easy blinds again since even the most ######### survivor of the team can hit them now. It would be a shame if I ahve to start dodging flashlights again, we will see

Survivors keep their stuff, killers lose their stuff.
