In the Stephen King universe, he's a deity. If you were to relate him to anything, it would be an Eldritch God imo. Also shape shifting is a classic story in mythology, displayed by minor Gods, like Loki.
Batman has villains who can shapeshift. They aren't gods either.

So you haven't read the book I see, because it very clearly states that he is a god.
Fun fact: if you just googled "Is pennywise a god" it would tell you that he is. Google is a good service my friend lol.
I have read the book multiple times. Pennywise is not portrayed as a god in the book nor in the movies (which is what the DLC would be based on). He displays no god like powers. Being a shapeshifter and being hundreds of years old doesn't give him god status.
What did he do in the book or the movies that is the equivalent to the Entity's power in this game?
-
Can't say I've noticed this myself.

Yea, the only problem with Pennywise is the fact he is a god, so it doesn't make much sense for The Entity too be able too control a literal god. But the clown argument isn't a good one IMO.
Pennywise is not a god. I mean he was defeated by a bunch of kids for goodness sake lol.
He's a creature that feeds on fear to kill and then goes into hibernation for 27 years.

Why bring another clown in?
We have two chainsaw killers, and two white masked stalking killers.
-
No different to the plethora of ones about DS, swf, gen speeds etc.
-
On the survivor side its Blendettes and Megs. Blendettes usually do sod all except stealth around the map. Megs are usually potatoes.
On the killer side its Freddy, Doc, and Ghostface. Freddy for obvious reasons. Doc is just super annoying. Ghostface is broken with his reveal mechanic hardly ever working which gives him free downs constantly.
-
Bond is where its at. The information it gives can save lives, including your own. It doesn't come with conditions like being on a hook or having to heal someone for it to work.
I don't care who's being chased on the other side of the map.
-
I don't mind the mentality of wanting to get a 4k. Its a good feeling when you kill everyone. But when they go to extremes like dragging a match out with endless slugging trying to get the 4k then it becomes tedious.
-
They said they are working on the fix for Billy, and probably other bugs like the end game sound bug playing during the match, Bubba's chainsaw etc.
So the answer is......soon.

Myers, everyone loves daddy Myers. There are also some domesticated Piggys out there
Always warms my heart to hear this since I main the boogeyman as killer.

I think the most boring thing about Freddy is that he gets rewarded for barely doing anything. A lot of his power is just passive bonuses. His traps require no skill, his pallets are his only fun and even that just feels like a passive bonus for survivors doing what they already do. When he first got reworked he seemed fun and interesting but once you realize that most of his power is just passive, it's kinda boring.
That's it exactly. Minimum skill and effort to get maximum results.
-
Definitely Trapper.
-
I don't think matchmaking will fix this. Rank 1 survivor here and believe me when I say there are plenty of potatoes in red ranks too.
Last night an injured Nea ran to a hook I was being carried to right before I was about to be hooked and actually attempted to sabo it. Myers just smacked her down easily and got a free hook from her after he hooked me. This Nea was a rank 2.
-
Solid list. I don't actively disagree with any of them.
-
Personally I don't hate facing him, I just find him dull. When I know I'm in a Deathslinger match my reaction is more one of "Oh yawn, ok lets get this over with".

"You think because the law punishes something that makes it justified."
Yes because putting something in someones food is assault, IDC how you try to slice it. For all he knows it could have killed the guy. Mistake or not, good intentions or not, it's a crime. Thinking he knew what it was does not excuse anything, especially when it's evident he didn't know what it was.
"There's examples of people being jailed just for speaking their mind in court."
Court is not the place to speak your mind. It's the place where justice is carried out. Just like the side of the street while the cop is writing you a ticket is not the place to contest the ticket. You take the ticket, and go to court. That's called due process.
"You keep making absurd analogies. You shoot anyone, whether its in your home or not, is going to have one outcome. Someone gets hurt. Shooting people only has one effect. Whereas drugs come in all forms, including harmless ones. Which Dwight thought he was using. You can't compare to willingly shooting someone."
There is nothing absurd about it. If you do something that results in someone getting hurt or killed you are liable. That's just how it is.
And it doesn't matter how harmless you think something is, you have no idea how someone may react to it. If the guy was allergic to the chemical he could have died.
Sorry but this argument has no legal merit, and the law is 100% right in this case. He put something in his drink, that constitutes assault. He didn't know what it really was, which makes it even more egregious. Period end of story.
Like I get he is your favorite character but you seriously can't sit there and deny he committed assault and was a complete dick.
"Yes because putting something in someones food is assault, IDC how you try to slice it. For all he knows it could have killed the guy. Mistake or not, good intentions or not, it's a crime. Thinking he knew what it was does not excuse anything, especially when it's evident he didn't know what it was."
You keep quoting the law like that makes it right. Life is not black and white like legal definitions Of course thinking that he knew is an excuse, and a valid one. If you do something believing you know its ok it is not remotely the same as using something and being clueless as to what it will do and just taking a blind chance on it. One is doing something you think is going to be ok, and one is not having any idea if it is but still doing it anyway. They are not remotely the same.
"Court is not the place to speak your mind. It's the place where justice is carried out. Just like the side of the street while the cop is writing you a ticket is not the place to contest the ticket. You take the ticket, and go to court. That's called due process."
There you go again quoting the law like the outcome of these laws is ok. Imagine putting someone in a jail cell just because they spoke out of turn in a court room. Using a jail cell that could be used to house a real criminal instead. But because it didn't follow the "due process" a person deserves to be thrown behind bars. Laughable.
"There is nothing absurd about it. If you do something that results in someone getting hurt or killed you are liable. That's just how it is.
And it doesn't matter how harmless you think something is, you have no idea how someone may react to it. If the guy was allergic to the chemical he could have died."
It must be great to live in your world where everything is so black and white. If someone gets hurt because of your actions, there is a world of difference between intent to cause that harm and not. Even courts take that into consideration. You comparing shooting someone to this situation is absurd on every level. In absolutely no scenario is willingly shooting a person not going to result in harm. Whereas many drugs are harmless. Simple as that.
"Like I get he is your favorite character but you seriously can't sit there and deny he committed assault and was a complete dick."
I do deny it. 100%. Whether you agree or not is your choice. But making a mistake and unintentionally causing harm does not make someone a dick. Period.
Anyway this is my last response on this. We're just repeating ourselves and derailing the topic of this thread. But you can take my word the fandom's perception of Dwight has not changed in a negative way. Count on it.
See you in the fog of the forums.

"Yeah because the law is always right isn't it. I mean the law can jail people for jaywalking. The law can jail people for speaking out of turn in a courtroom. The laws are clearly infallible."
This may be true sometimes, but not in this case. There are examples of people doing something similar and getting assault charges and jail time.
"I disagree. For what Dwight had in mind he would have gotten off lightly, too. Not what ended up actually happening. Which again was never intended. A mistake does not make someone a dick or a bad person."
If it was ex-lax, maybe. Considering he didn't really know what it was and the effect it had he would have probably had the book thrown at him.
You are right that a mistake doesn't make someone a dick. But putting an unknown chemical into someone's food without actually knowing what it will do is being a dick. For all he knows it could have killed the guy.
There's a thing in law where if you commit a crime and someone gets hurt, then you are liable. Break into a home with your friend to steal a TV, and then the homeowner shoots your friend, you get charged with murder. I don't see any exception here.
"This may be true sometimes, but not in this case. There are examples of people doing something similar and getting assault charges and jail time."
You're missing the point. That doesn't make it right. You think because the law punishes something that makes it justified. There's examples of people being jailed just for speaking their mind in court. They call it contempt. Its ridiculous. But by your logic its right just because the law says so.
"If it was ex-lax, maybe. Considering he didn't really know what it was and the effect it had he would have probably had the book thrown at him."
Read the lore for yourself. He thought he knew what it was, or rather what effect it would have. He was certain that its effects were harmless.
"You are right that a mistake doesn't make someone a dick. But putting an unknown chemical into someone's food without actually knowing what it will do is being a dick. For all he knows it could have killed the guy."
But it wasn't an unknown chemical. He didn't take it and have no idea what it would do. He thought he knew exactly what it would do. He had no idea there was any risks involved in it at all. Again this is all in his lore. H thought he was going to make his boss laugh so hard and pee his pants in front of everyone.
"There's a thing in law where if you commit a crime and someone gets hurt, then you are liable. Break into a home with your friend to steal a TV, and then the homeowner shoots your friend, you get charged with murder. I don't see any exception here."
Oh I'm not saying Dwight is not ultimately responsible for what happened. At the end of the day it was a result of his actions. But the fact is he had no idea it would happen. Even the law takes circumstances like that into account.
You keep making absurd analogies. You shoot anyone, whether its in your home or not, is going to have one outcome. Someone gets hurt. Shooting people only has one effect. Whereas drugs come in all forms, including harmless ones. Which Dwight thought he was using. You can't compare to willingly shooting someone.

"Yes it is a valid excuse. If you believed no actual harm would come, then it is valid."
Not in the eyes of the law.
"And to compare punishing someone for stealing your lunch, to punishing someone who frames innocent people and gets them fired is a ridiculous analogy."
Still does not warrant assault though.
"That doesn't make him a dick. It doesn't make him a bad person."
It does actually.
A good person would gather evidence of this person's crime and report them to the authorities.
A dick/bad person would put something in their coffee to make them pee not knowing exactly what it was and causing massive hallucinations that could inflict potential severe psychological damage.
"Not in the eyes of the law."
Yeah because the law is always right isn't it. I mean the law can jail people for jaywalking. The law can jail people for simply speaking out of turn in a courtroom. The laws are clearly infallible.
"Still does not warrant assault though."
That's what you think. If someone made some corrupt a-hole who's framed and fired countless innocent people piss his pants in front of everyone, do you really think people would say that was uncalled for, and feel sorry for the guy? Of course they wouldn't. For what Dwight had in mind he would have gotten off lightly, too, after what he's done. Not what ended up actually happening. Which again was never intended, and Dwight clearly felt bad about it. A mistake does not make someone a dick or a bad person.

Still not a valid excuse.
It's actually crime to do what he did. If you have a fellow employee stealing your lunch, for example, and to punish them you put ex-lax in your food, something that would just make him poop a lot, you can be charge with assault for that and go to jail. If he got found out, no judge would care that he didn't know what it was he put in and that might actually make the judge come down on him even harder for being so reckless.
Also important lessen kids. Trust the people you buy your drugs from. Not condoning anything, just making a blanket statement about safety rule #1.
Yes it is a valid excuse. If you truly believed no actual harm would come, then it is valid. Simple as that.
A lot of minor things are classed as a crime by the law. People have been jailed for jaywalking. And to compare punishing someone for stealing your lunch, to punishing someone who frames innocent people and gets them fired is a ridiculous analogy. Dwight's boss was a criminal who hurt innocent people. And even then all Dwight thought he was doing was humiliating him by causing him to laugh and pee his pants.
I agree you should trust the people you buy drugs from. That was Dwight's error. He thought what he was using was safe. That doesn't make him a dick. It doesn't make him a bad person. He simply made a mistake. He went in with no intentions to try and hurt his boss or anyone else.

Well with every update come the bugs. This is one, along with the Bubba chainsaw noise bug, the end game music bug playing for killers during a match. Not sure if any other new ones have popped up.

This is actually a bit of a misleading statement considering that there are multiple factors that play into who has the most cosmetics here.
For one the original four characters have the widest array of cosmetic selection, simply because they have been around the longest they are the original survivors that shipped with the game back in 2016. They've had the most time for the dev team to support.
On the other hand, the original four characters are also, big word: FREE that's a huge leading factor in who is most popular or most frequently used. Original created content for DLC is locked behind a decent grind, and licensed content for DLC is locked behind a paywall. It's very clear and obvious why these characters would be used more than anybody else, regardless of any new content these four characters (and also I suppose the two free chapters + paragraph chapter so Nea, David King, and Bill Overbeck) will always be more popular than everybody else.
In a sense cosmetics are also a kind of self-perpetuating loop. The devs say they support the most popular characters, but some of the most popular characters have the most cosmetic selection to mix-and-match make yourself look unique and stand out in the fog. So basically:
Most popular characters get cosmetics -> cosmetics make a character more popular -> most popular characters get cosmetics...
This would be a far more interesting question if some kind of experiment could be done, say Dead By Daylight was put in front of some 200 participants. These participants would be split into 4 groups of 50: People who have never heard of Dead By Daylight, but like Horror (movies, games, books, etc.), People who have heard of Dead By Daylight (but never played) and like Horror, People who have heard of Dead By Daylight and don't like Horror, and People who have heard of Dead By Daylight and don't like Horror. Everything in the game is free, the participants have access to all characters, cosmetics, perks, add-ons, offerings, etc. Putting all content at an equal and level playing field. Each participant has two rounds to play survivor and two rounds to play killer, allowing participants to select different characters but also are encouraged to stick to whoever they like most. Who do people pick?
My personal hypothesis might be that the people who like horror would obviously be more likely to recognize the licensed characters Dead By Daylight has to offer and therefore at an increased probability to select them to play. Whereas the results of those who don't like horror likely wouldn't be able to recognize those characters so their results might be more scattered.
To be completely, honest? Who knows. In that kind of setting in a controlled environment it could be anything, but nobody would actually take the time to create such an experiment lol. It was just a bit fun to think about.
You make a fair about about the free factor, but I don't think time is a significant factor at all. For example, the first lot of cosmetics did not come out til Summer 2018, two years after the release of the game and several survivors were added since. And some characters like Feng, Ace, and Nea who came out after the original four have just as many cosmetics, or in some cases more than some of the original four e.g. Jake. Likewise with later characters such as Yui who came much later after the likes of Jeff and Adam, but she has more cosmetics than both of them.
Furthermore the likes of Yui, Jane and Kate are as free as Adam, Jeff etc, but again they are more prevalent in lobbies and not surprisingly have more cosmetics than them. I mean Yui is barely 5 months old but already has 37 cosmetics in the store. But then again nobody is shocked by that because Yui is popular.

He...
put some kind of drug into his bosses coffee. IDC how awful your boss is, that is straight up assault. There is no justification for that.
Two things, and don't read if you don't want any spoilers;
- His boss was an evil corrupt a-hole who was always losing the company money, and in order to avoid getting the blame he would frame innocent employees for it, and get them fired. The latest victim was a friend of Dwight's, who was a single mom.
- The 'drug' Dwight put in his boss' drink was something Dwight was told was totally harmless and would simply make his boss laugh so hard he'd pee his pants in front of everyone. Dwight had no idea it would do what it did, hence the look of shock on his face at the end of the video. He just wanted to humiliate the guy in front of everyone. Small payback for all the people his boss had hurt.
Yeah Dwight made a screw up, but in no way does it make him a dick or a bad person.

For killers... probably Myers. A lot of killers seem to have gotten into this game JUST because he is in the game. Of all the killers, Myers has had probably the least complaints about him from survivors. Most survivor even enjoy playing against him the most.
For survivors... Dwight, Bill, Jake, or Steve seem to be the most liked. They are all pretty wholesome and don't have any stigma's attached to them like other survivors. Bills especially make me laugh pretty much every time they are in my killer games.
However after seeing how much of a dick Dwight is in his Rift animatic I think perspectives might change on him soon.
Dwight is not a dick in the rift. Read his whole story before judging.

Cosmetics are very telling. The characters who have the most cosmetics tend to be the most popular characters as its profitable to cater to the popular ones.

When you watch the likes of Umbra, Zubat, and Ralph it shows how rewarding it is if you learn her well.

I had several last night.

Hawkins and Shelter Woods.

I wasn't much agreeing with your list, but you lost me completely when you said iri hatchets are fine.
If there is one killer add on that needs a nerf or complete removal its that. Right up there with the old version of prayer beads in terms of BS add ons.
Some of the best Huntress mains I've ever seen wouldn't be caught dead using them.

Tier 29. I bought a few tier levels because I wanted Dweet's new jacket and hat right away.

He used to be very cool, he had his problems that could have been addressed and many suggestions where made but no, they removed this unique and cool character all together.
Now he is just so....cheap, the can do far too much and the obvious synergy with certain perks (pop...) is per definition boring, its always the same.
He can directly teleport to the only objective survivors have and he can end every chase with his bloodpools in no time flat requiring no effort from the player to use (like compare it to the trapper or hag or clown) or he puts up his fake pallets which also require no effort and there is nothing for the survivors to know if a pallet is fake or not.
He is just so...cheap....and well boring.
Basically this. Freddy takes minimum skill to get maximum results.
Map sizes mean nothing to him as he can teleport to any gen he likes. He can shut down loops by spamming his blood pools. He cancels borrowed time simply by hitting the rescuer.
When people call him boring or a brain dead killer its because there is little counterplay to him as survivor and even less skill required to play him as killer.
-
Just played a few rounds as Michael. The stalking definitely feels smoother. Good job, Bhvr.
-
I'm assuming we're talking killers who are considered decent, and not low tier like Clown, Legion, Bubba etc.
Billy, Myers, Spirit.

Not sure if this is exclusive to PS4. I've been watching some PC streamers today playing killer, and they've been waiting for over 10 minutes to get a match. For example, Scorpionz got so sick of it he has switched to playing Hunt Showdown.
-
Very glad to see you fixed Michael's stalk issues. That was a big much needed fix.
-
Very boring killer that takes minimum skill to get maximum results.
-
That is super frustrating. One of the reasons that achievement is so hard.
Personally I'd gladly get the pipe from Michael.

It might feel too long right now because we're in a pandemic. More time on our hands so we are moving through the tome quicker.

I dont care about ranking or keeping my rank. I care about playing the game and interacting with the killer. thats the fun part of the game. I dont want to wait 10 minutes to hold m1 for 5 minutes and que all over again.
Fair enough. I get the frustration of waiting for a match only to get a snooze fest like that. The reason I asked is because you mentioned that you deranked which would not be something that should really bother anyone given we are not given any incentive to care about our rank in this game.
-
Why do you care about your rank though? It means nothing. You get no reward for ranking up.

I don't want to spoil my story, but I promise you it was a lot more innocent than it seems in the video. My lore will explain all, and show you my boss was an evil corrupt a-hole.
