If they literally just allowed survivors to collect bloodpoints with vials after 30 this ENTIRE problem would be fixed. Being unable to go past 30 is the whole reason killer que's are ridiculous right now.

Maybe they wanted you to play killer a bit.

in Hallowed Blight is about to make me quit DBD Comment by Eight October 25, 2018

@Blueberry said:
The only reason it failed is because they capped survivors blood points on the plants which forced all of them onto killer and killed the que times.

A lot of survivors need to learn what it's like to play killer. They're getting to do it at the easiest time, when survivors aren't playing properly, but still. I''m guessing this morning's Hillbilly left with some understanding of what it's like when you're looped, flashlighted, laughed at, and then held hostage. (Not by me).

Poor guy only got one hook, and played a petal too.

Wait, this might actually be better than it appears at first glance. Since Freddy is in the Dreamworld this means that he can't trigger beartraps right? This would let him chase survivors right into Evan's traps fearlessly.

Freddy: You just set some traps and hide in a corner. I'll get the survivors.

Trapper: But me want to catch poople too!

Freddy: #########, you can't run 10 meters without standing in one of your own traps. Leave it to me.

I would like at-least 6 survivor's vs 1 killer. More gens or increased gen times and more people for killers to kill can never be a bad thing.

It could be cool too if you had the potential to find the key to your teammates RBT and had to save each-other. This would of course be 100% troll bait and break the Pig beyond belief but in theory is a fun idea.

Giving an option for teammates to help sounds like it would be cool. A sole survivor still needs to be able to remove the trap himself though.

The problem is that the option would massively benefit SWF teams, who already have it too easy.

@MegaWaffle said:
I think you misunderstood #2 so allow me to correct my wording.
...
I believe this add-on should be in her base kit and that Jigsaw boxes shouldn't have their aura revealed until the trap is triggered.

Ah, yep. I misunderstood initially. Thanks for clarifying. I think this one may need playtesting to see if it's good and fair, or a step too far.

However, if you apply a few very small changes (like your third suggestion about the dead box) to traps and also this one, it may have the desired effect of forcing more panic from survivors. If they can't plan a route around the boxes, they're going to be more inclined to start hunting for them immediately (or waiting until the timer starts, of course).

Gives them an interesting choice.

Edit: I don't run Rules No. 2 often enough to say anything for certain. "Ultra Rare"... sigh

@MegaWaffle said:
My quick buff idea.

1: 6 traps by default so you don't feel obligated to save for endgame
2: Boxes are not revealed until trap triggers
3: Add an additional box by default that yields no key for any trap as a way to lower the instant RNG removal (if you make the first box a guaranteed fail then survivors who know they have no time won't care to try)
4: Anyone with a trap on their head suffers from a 10% action speed decrease to healing (maybe not healing now that we have the healing nerf) generator repair and hook saves.
5: IF the above still yields poor results then have the RBT active the moment the survivor is saved from the down state/saved from the hook and not require a gen to be completed.

Interesting.

Yes, 4 is definitely too few. Shouldn't need an add-on to increase this number when they're so easy to remove.
Yeah, that'd be nice. But I'm not too bothered by them finding out I'm a Pig. They're going to know soon enough anyway.
Reasonable option.
Or make Slow-Release Toxin and Rusty Attachment common add-ons instead of rare.

I also don't see why survivors are able to get through the hatch with the trap on, but not an open exit gate. I guess it's difficult to find the fair balance on this.

Edit: Related to 4, we also need a rare add-on that applies the Broken effect. Maybe time-limited.

@Well_Placed_HexTotem said:
I usually have the bad luck of being near the killer when I’m the obsession so I have little chance of not being found and killed.

Lol. I wish I had more games with you.

I have a vid of one very unlucky obsession who managed to avoid me for the entire game. I finally down him just as the last gen pops (actually, mid-animation picking him up). This was a difficult choice - I felt sorry for him, but also, it wouldn't be a funny story if I just let him go...

Mori it is. Sorry David.

in Rancor Balance? Comment by Eight October 24, 2018

Some good ideas in this thread. I'm assuming those suggestions aren't implemented when I type this.

The RBT timer's should be shorter. I'm not looking for kills, still keeping them as an alternative objective to slow the game down, but only inexperienced survivors panic when they get trapped. Most others know they have ample time - I even find trapped survivors on gens and making hook saves.

As much as I love the idea of the timer decreasing a chunk when another gen goes, I don't think your average survivor gives enough of a ######### about his teammates for this to stop them working the gens.

in Any plans to increased the survivors numbers? Comment by Eight October 24, 2018

I'm sure I read somewhere that they want to keep the codebase as multi-platform as possible, rather than have too many parts that target platform x and others that target platform y.

Makes sense from a development standpoint. Sucks in terms of actually getting the best out of each machine.

Hmm..

'Tis is a bit ######### that killers didn't get anything as fun (but ultimately useless) as the Wisps or lunchboxes. BUT the whole event is really about collecting killer costumes, because they're awesome and the survivor ones are few and meh.

So we didn't do too badly on either side.

@KoalaTux said:
I just think it should have a 2-3 minute timer so you atleast have some time to counter it and hide.

LOL. Right. So, exit gates are all powered and you want the perk to delay for 3 minutes? You should be out the door already.

Rancor is absolutely fine as it is. Some obsessions just need to learn that teabagging at the gates, attempting unsafe hook rescues, and hunting for the hatch is not a great idea.

In no way is Rancor a free kill. It's just a fairly weak way of giving one person the Exposed status effect.

Edit: And it seems most survivors have figured this out already. If I play Rin, assuming the obsession is still alive at the end, most of them are incredibly sneaky and/or ready to make a sharp exit as soon as that last gen goes. But on a Piggy - well, noone expects Rancor on Amanda.

in Rancor Balance? Comment by Eight October 24, 2018

Very few nice people on either side at the minute. Few enough, in fact, that I've been able to clip all the times it's happened.

Survivors - happy to harvest with you there, don't nod or bow, then f*ck off. If caught, will DS you on the way to the event hook.

Killers - pretend to let you harvest but then down you anyway. Then come on here, and moan that people d/c.

If someone is harvesting, I'll leave them be. I got a bit carried away the other night and downed someone, then immediately felt bad and juggled them until they were back on their feet. And if a killer lets me finish the plant, I'll run my own arse over to the hook (or, at the very least, not wiggle when picked up).

But it's becoming so tiring to try and be this accommodating/fair just to get ######### on all the time.

But when the very few people started playing him, survivor mains are not experienced with him anymore because you rarely see him, and they are least expecting him in a match......

You may have a point. I dunno. I throw a LOT of bottles - never at the survivor, aways to direct them where Id prefer they go - so maybe that's confusing them. I could be giving survivors too much credit in using them to justify that Clown is a decent choice for a killer.

Hm? maybe I should main clown or freddy? if hardly anyone is playing him, then I'll have the element of surprise.

Well, I'd definitely say put some time in with Clown. If you like chasing people, he's a fun one to use.

Eh? Clown is pretty cool to play.

The point of the bottles isn't to inflict any damage (or even slow people down), it's to control the survivors' movement - ideally before they reach a looping point. If the gas actually caused injury then it'd have to be limited further, like a hatchet, which would take away the only unique thing about him.

Bamboozle is also pretty fun to throw in on any killer.

Thankfully, I rarely see skilled Clown players. But when you do, they're damn near impossible to escape from.

in Clown the filler killer Comment by Eight October 23, 2018

Must play with Distressing at some point.

I'm tending to run: Whispers, Nurses' Calling, and Sloppy Butcher. Slot 4 depends on my mood: usually Rancor or NOED but, at the minute, Iron Grasp.

Make Your Choice is ok on her. But, as with Pig, I usually get more use out using Whispers to get the approximate direction, heading that way, and waiting for Nurses' to proc.

I don't have Hex: Ruin yet, unfortunately, but don't tend to have much luck with the hex perks anyway.

Yeah, no complaints about you hanging around to support your team mates. And it's a difficult call when two survivors are at one gate but don't know the other two are at the opposite gate (assuming you've left all four alive).

I was really just thinking that the 4-man teabagging party who insist you trek over to them just to taunt you tend to disappear pretty quickly when that chainsaw revs.

FWIW For survivor cry-babies thinking I'm deadly serious here - I never kill anyone in the gates. If you're in there, I consider it a loss. I'm not looking for a way to kill you and cover up my failure as a killer. Why you feel the need to taunt me from the safety of the exit line, is beyond me. You want to show me how great you are, come out into the map and taunt me one-on-one.
