I don't think so.What do you think about Ruin?
Very interesting build, never thought of caulrophobia on hag.
Now that I am lower rank again, I will give it a try
Btw, I believe that against a competent SWF you automatically lose if you dont have ruin up. The gamble that they dont find your totem isntantly is the only thing that can give you a chance (talking about the optimal SWF here, not the yolo hook rushers)
-
Please make it such that killers dont use addons/offerings when survivors DC either, thanks

@The_Fallen_Utopia said:
I always say people should play as they want to play so I agree with this. There is no rule saying killers can't camp.The devs even explicity explained that killers are allowed to camp, survivors just dont wanna believe the truth

Only as survivor, the game is easy enough that Iisten to music

@_Trapper said:
I mostly play with randoms and I'm tired of facing the spirit. I got nothing against the killer but she's way to good for the little bit of required skill to use her. Its impossible to do gens or unhook other survivors without her immediately downing the survivor again. And nearly every game she's the killer! She literally takes the game hostage it's so irritating. Looping against her is useless since she keeps teleporting and since I am a purple rank the killer usually knows how to counter jukes and 360s. So if she keeps teleporting from the gens to the hook and tunnelling survivors there's not a lot u can do to beat her. She's like an easy to use nurse but not that good. It's just easy for anyone to use her and win. She needs some kind of nerf in my opinion. She's the only low skill required killer that gives me a hard time beating her. If you don't want to nerf her maybe bring old pallets back to the game??Spirit is one of the hardest killer, in my opinion even harder than nurse.
And she is terrible against a competent SWF, she stands no chance against that. Survivors always claim that its the opposite but when I request spirit gameplay vs competent SWF, I never get an answer
I recommend playing her yourself to understand her weakness and then you can use those to play against her

If survivors increase the dc rate they fall into the bannable zoneThat is a myth, even if you DC every 2nd game, you are still fine

Dont forget to report the insulting survivors

Rank manipulation is a very common thing in this game. BHVR even featured streamers as fog travelers who openly depip to avoid playing at rank 1 in favor of easier games.One thing that enables this is the estimated 40% DC rate allowed before you are punished. You can depip to rank 15 and rank up to any given rank and then repeat the process as long as you don't constantly two pip.
Obviously a single depip on DC makes the process of deranking take twice as long.
Just a thought on how to curb one of the games cheesier practices.
By doing that, you will just increase the DC rate and dont fix the actual problem.
DCing needs to be punished at its core, for example by a increasing queue time penalty, the more you DC -
Must have been low rank.
I am a killer main and I am not even affected by lullaby with 5 tokens anymore.... skillchecks are not hard to hit once you had a bit practice.
-
Rank 8 is when the survivors slowly start using their brain and killer becomes a lil bit harder

@ProfoundEnding said:
Can we not break immersion please. This game definitely won't be scary anymore if everyone is running around in swimsuits. It works with F13, but not DBD.The game stopped being scary once the survivors discovered looping
-
Sounds like you didnt lobby dodge that SWF and that you play solo-survivor.
camping works really well against many SWF because they are over altruistic, but ofc you can lobby dodge them too if you want

@Grimbergoth said:
ive been experimenting with this . it seem the way it works is the person who made the initial group is what it goes by that is why you see 2's in a level 18 match up and 18's in a level 2 match . there is a range of what the matchup looks for so say a 18 might get a rang of 16-20 depending on available players , so if they make the group with friends in the 10-2 range those players will be playing a killer in the 16-20 range .this is just another thing that is broken about the swf grouping , the developers know about it and we haven't head anything at all , they pretend they don't know at least as far as the information they give out is concerned . the only info ive heard was them supporting swf months ago when they implemented it and talked about how big of a success it was with 70% of all games played being some form of swf .
Since then I haven't heard anything from the developers about it , but the community has voiced up pro and con about it on a daily thread and usualy multiples . ive heard a lot of killers wanting opt outs , survivors complaining how swf only work together and if they are the odd man they are left to die because the 3 man can win just as easy without them . people complaining about the rank imbalance in matchs because of it , the list goes on .
That is not only months away, this was a year ago (maybe even more now), apprently the devs dont give a damn about the situation, so yuo have to use the tools vailable to you (derank or lobbydodge)
-
Ok I like this idea.
Each survivor can bann one killer and the killer can bann 4 survivors. Lets implement this into the game, cant wait to bann all those claudettes and I will be glad to play a different killer than pig if you dislike her so much

@George_Soros said:
One issue with accepting comm and balancing the game around it is that many players will still not use it, which would leave them in a disadvantage. Take Left 4 Dead for example: very much based on teamwork, yet less than half of the players use voice chat, despite the function is ingame and simple.
I still think accepting comm is the better way, just voicing my concerns here.If you want to play casually thats up to you. There are tons of overwatch players that never touched the talk button for example.
However, when you climb into higher ranks, people will being to start using voice comms.
If you dont balance the game around voice comms, then what is the killer supposed to do? Just DC?

@kazzymoyashi said:
So, I just had a match where I couldn't pull a pallet because a Nea was in it and it kept prompting me to heal her as opposed to pulling the pallet which I was then instant downed by a Leatherface chainsaw - this wouldn't be an issue if vacuum pallets were removed... which brings me to the actual topic of this discussion, why are vacuum hooks still in the game? How is it fair that you remove vacuum pallets and yet killers STILL have vacuum hooks. A wiggle bar can look full, but because of a vacuum animation for hooks, it doesn't matter. You're still put on the hook. Seriously, dbd devs, you need to fix this. It's absolutely ridiculous. You "fix" things that don't need to be fixed but then create more bugs and issues for others.I agree, just like survivors can unhook from all sides, killers should be able to hook from all sides so that we get rid of this stupid hook gliding and the collision problems
-
Yes extra BP would be a fair compensation until devs balance SWF
-
@iceman2kx said:
Uh nothing. As a killer there's way to many audio ques for finding survivors. Even if I am casually grinding BPs like I often do, you are purposely handicapping your trials by playing music over the game. -
@Vietfox said:
SovererignKing said:Yeah, both are annoying. Though camping has a draw back of no map pressure. Looping has no draw backs at all and is pure profit for Survivors. #feelsbadman
@SovererignKing
U can either "camp"" from distance with certain killers or camp when the gates are powered, in which case you don't need the map pressure.Oh I thought were talking about the real camping and not the survivors definition of camping

@xxaggieboyxx said:
what happened to rank 1 survivors? everyone there is so boosted when i am playing survivor. just finished my 5th game in a row of all of the survivors getting destroyed because no one wants to do a generator. please survivors if you are seeing this. do gens im so tired of dying and everyone just crouching and doing nothing.ps: when im playing killer survivors always gen rush and pallet loop perfectly but when im playing survivor everyone is ######### and cant do anything for themselves
Make piping easy AF and every boosted meghead can reach rank1
Both sides pip too easy btw, but thats only my opinion. When you play killer, you most likely verse SWF thats what seems so weird when you compare it with your solo survivor experience -
@DocOctober said:
MimimiSorry, but for once this goes on my nerves. I want some good stealth maps every once in a while.
This has nothing to do with stealth by the way

@Tiersis said:
Seriously, can we get some kind of mechanic where if you go up against a full SWF group you don't have to queue with them for another few matches? I get that people wanna play together and will be on voice, but thats 3 matches in a row now trying to complete my killer daily quests that have been against coordinated SWF groups who don't let you pick anyone up without a DS or a flashlight to the face, who then love to tell me I'm camping, when I try to kill the other 3 of them who are charging the hook when I finally get one on it.NEWS FLASH:
If you're hanging around the hook when someone gets hooked, its not F---ing camping if the killer sees you there and downs you.
Stop trying to make the game not fun for killers, or its going to have a negative impact on the game later on. This goes from a player POV and a Dev POV.
Either lobby dodge them or derank to ranks where you can deal with SWF, thats my advice

So im just gonna be direkt here: its BS.and no, im not trying to defend DS by any means, i totally agree that it should get nerfed and that the perk itself is huge BS too, but you are putting waay too much effort into it, its almost absurd.
in my opinion, you dont need any ogf this "can be activated with e and will put the broken status effect on you" or the newer "can be activated with e and will only stun the killer in place". that way, in my opinion, you just have a ton of unnecessary programming to do, which will end in us waiting forever for the much needed nerfs.
heres my, much simpler solution:
DS will still free you from the killers grasp. this works ONLY when you hit a tremendously hard skillcheck, once per match and for the obsession.
that way, we will only have 1 DS per game, the killer knows who has it and is able to play around this person.
in my eyes, the main problem with DS atm is, that you never know who has it, so you cant plan around it and it can easily screw you completely over, especially if there is 2 or more. also, its really unfair, when more than one person can get off your shoulders for free.what are your thoughts on this?
do you like DS the way it is now?
do you like my idea?
do you like the devs idea?
or do you have your own idea?
please tell me in the comments below!
have a wonderful day!We already have activatable perks in the game, the programming they have to do is laughable tbh.
There are two problems with your idea:
1. Skillchecks are hit on high ranks and this is where DS is the real problem
2. What happens with non-obsession DS? Are they just running a dead perk?But I agree too, the DS nerf is going into the compeltely wrong direction because it needs SWF coordination to make it use and then it is similar to the old DS.
I prefered their first idea to apply the no-mither effect afetr you used DS (but make him only be able to use DS if he hasnt been hooked yet)again: i dont have a problem with one person using his DS. since you as killer can clearly see the obsession symbol, you can play around that guy. therefore, the others would 100% be safe non strikers.
and yes, if there is 2 Dstrikes in the game, only the obsession will have it. the other one will have to play with 3 perks. That way, its actually a high risk - high reward perk, just like NOED. a lot of killers play the game with only 3 perks, and the 4th doesnt even activate in the end game, so why not for survivors too? the perk is powerful enough to be worth this risk.That would just make SWF even stronger, bad design if you ask me
how would that make SWF stronger? because only one of them can use DS now? sry, but i dont get your point there...
Because they can coordinate who takes DS and can avoid picking multiple ones, runing aroudn with dead perks

@Captain_Spaulding said:
I know it's toxic but it's not against the rules to use insidious and trap them in the basement is it? Had quite a few salty survivors try and report me for it today.No its completely fine and you can do it all day if you want to
-
Usually its camping when you kill at least one survivors.
Just ignore them after game chat, even if you stand 1 cm away from their face on the hook, its still a legit way to play, the devs confirmed that

@chemical_reject said:
Daka said:@DeadByFlashlight We usually get lobby dodged once every 5 or so matches. Also my SWF groups are usually 3 or 4 people
Don't pay this guy any attention. He's so scared of SWF and people using items he would rather play lobby simulator than the actual game.
Now that I deranked into the fun ranks again, I verse everything the survivors throw at me, even if they bring 4 lightsabres

Killers addons more powerful?
That is debatable -
SWF has already too much benefits, making it even more user friendly.... mhm
Do you like being lobby dodged btw? Just a curiosu question, and how big are you SWF groups usually?

@βLAKE said:
Thanks for the info guys. Since I don't feel fully confident of using MLGA, I'm gonna wait until EAC officially responds to my email.EAC never answers such emails, I already tried a year ago and never got an answer
-
The game was designed having survivors in mind that are scared of the killer. (not that clicky clicky ez loop thing we have now)
I am pretty sure you would ######### yourself if you versed some of that killers IRL, so diapers only make sense
-
But that would be a straight buff for pig, ofc that would be unfair for survivors since pig already is op
-
Its called SWF, high ranks team up with lower ranks in order to be able to bully low rank killers like you.
You can avoid this by lobby dodging SWF (Survive with friends). If multiple survivors join into your lobby at the same time, chances are high that they play together and you can consider opening a new lobby to play a normal game.
-
Option 2 definitely if I had to pick one
Also another option I consider really interesting is that within a SWF, all perks are unique, i.e. all SWF members can only use each perk once in their loadout such that 3x DS and that stuff acnt happen. Would force them to use other perks beside the meta ones and would act as balancing too

@DarkWo1f997 said:
Esheon said:If you're talking about the sway caused by a struggling survivor, you can do something similar on PC by tapping A and D while carrying. It doesn't get rid of it entirely, but it can help.
No, it’s the equivalent of holding W and violently shaking your mouse from left to right. It almost completely eliminates the effects of struggling.
I mean if you run forward and violently smash your mouse around, isnt that the same as the wiggling effect?^^

I just ran into some toxic killers lately on ps4.They behave like a farming killer till they gain ppls trust and then kill everyone.
Aside from that it's a game and all I think this is a real problem. It's so disgusting and low. Words don't really describe what I think about ppl that are doing this...
Did others ran into these "ppl" as well?
Oh gosh, the killer actually killed you?
Damn, we need to perma bann this guy, do you have his PSN ID?

DH against billy and nurse, otherwise I prefer balanced landing

@CheersTC said:
Ok, occasionally I will let the killer kill me, on one condition.If they message me (saying I can get hatch), or just don't hit me when they get right behind me, I instead run to a hook and point at it. I'm even high rank, but that brings up my question.
Do you ever do it, and if yes, at what rank?
Me: Rank 3 and yes I do.
In my entire playtime, that happened maybe twice when I played killer^^

@Agent47 said:
DCing Killers should be penalised or given a handicap! If a Survivor Disconnects the Trial continues for those left...but Killers DCing just ends if for all & WASTES TIME & OFFERINGS!!!Some games actually prevent you from playing for a limited time if you Disconnect multiple times within a short period...something needs to be done.
It can take 5mins just to get into a Trial & then Killers quit half way through.
Yes there should be harsh penalties for DCing, but ofc they would apply to both, killers and survivors

Well, at least not in my bloodwebs....

I only encountered one decent nurse but only at lower ranks, the rest of them were really bad. Is it hard to play her well on ps4 or are there some other reasons most people can't get good with her?
I find her interesting and I wish she was more challenging to play against.
Low framerate and controller aim kill nurse.
I actually mained Nurse for some time and she is well playable with a controller. It takes practise but the FPS and lagspikes after blinking is a way bigger issue.
I know its possible, but even on PC its already hard to get used to nurse and master her. I dont even wanna imagine how this is on console, but I can understand that our fellow console killers dont wanna go through this trouble
-
Pig is one of the examples who gets genrushed so easily.
She has no map control and no tools to help her during chase.The most funniest thing is that she even loses time if she tries to ambush

@ClogWench said:
All it takes is one hit to make a survivor instantly disconnect!For real tho, what're your opinions on iridescent heads? I know a lot of survivors hate them but they seem relatively balanced to me. Higher risk for both survivors and killers. Only get one, only have to dodge one(not counting infantry belt).
Is doc OP?
All it takes is logging in as doc to make survivors disconnect instantly -

Im new-ish to the game, Is it really worth "Prestigeing" a character? Does it make any difference apart from cosmetics? TIAOnly if you are that kidn of guy that likes grinding and puts thousands of hours into the game.

@FeelsVeryBadMan said:
Can someone explain to me why the Perkless Wraith experiment isn't valid anymore? Killers had it worse back then and Marth still did it to prove the game was ok. Why is it not valid when the killers are in a much better place now?Btw, why do you people still mention the Marth88 Depip experiment? That's not how high rank games go + the pipping system was changed. Also, Marth is literally destroying survivors on his streams, then why complain?
Everyone can reach rank 1 now, so that doesnt tell much tbh.
If marth would play against his own depip squad, he woudl get rekt though -
@Aftertaste said:
I think that it isn't good idea because many people right now are tunneling and camping and decisive strike is a little bit counter and helper to not being camped/tunneled. You can a little bit nerf it but please don't rework it or change the rules of the game because it's too loose.How does DS counter camping or "tunneling" ?
IT only prolongs the chase, so it doesnt do anything against those strategies -
@Bug_Reporter said:
Recently i finished my build with The Spirit and for some reason im playing with survivors that SHOULD be at Rank 20, it says they are Rank 1 but tey are getting REKT, they Rage quit, they suicide on hooks, die before doing any gens, get caught in less than 30 seconds, they are playing like really newbie ppl.Im here for a challenge, im wondering why they are at my Rank when they play like that, and thats not a rare thing, i've been REKTING a lot of CWFs and random survivors all day long, i only had 1 match where i didnt 4 kill against a full CWF (1 escaped), but the rest of the matches was a real STOMP.
Why does that happen? Am i too good or these ppl just got carried all the way here? I feel very offended when i face this kind of survivors, they dont belong to Rank 1, go back to Rank 20 NOOBS!
Rank 1 is a joke to reach, thats the problem.
Dont worry, give it a few days and you will face that depip squad that makes you cry^^Games can be like day and night, one game you get genrushed with 2 hooks in the whole game, the next game you 4k with no gen done.
DBD simply has no proper matchmakign and the rank system is a joke. also SWF can boost each others rank very easily,hell you can even reach rank 1 by versing rank 10ish killers only
