Hasn't it been confirmed that all the crows The Artist saw were not actual crows but instead representations of The Entity's influence, which had been haunting her all her life?
Precisely. Creative license + an eldritch-sized excuse allows for many cool stuff that don't really make sense.

There’s no crows in Chile.
Yet there’s a Chilean killer who’s whole shtick is crows. Even the map she came with, also supposedly in Chile, has a giant murder of crows.
It’s also entirely possible that part of the Saloon was pulled from Zarina’s memory, who followed Caleb’s life for a story. Zarina might very well have seen tumbleweeds rolling around there.

On Console, maybe.
On PC he’s nowhere near the worst. His main issues are map mobility and the fact that he’s punished hard if he can’t hit his shots. Other than that, he’s pretty solid.
-
I mean, travelling through portals is on a rather long cooldown, and they can also be taken down. 3-genning isn't that big of a deal either, now that gens only take 8 hits.
I also think you mean tunnelling, not camping. They don't complement camping particularly well.
-
I feel like telling the survivor they are visible to the killer gives far too much information to the survivor. The survivor will immediately be able to tell what perks the killer is running, and also which ones they're not. Games then become a checklist of "he's not running BBQ, or NtH, Oh He Has Bloodwarden".
I don't like to call things hand-holding, but taking a rather large part of the guesswork out of the game ain't it for me.

Sadako is a hit-n-run killer. Forcing Condemnation is a waste of time, imo.
She requires your fundamental killer to be solid. You need to be able to tell when you’re taking a bad chase, so you can dip out and go harass survivors working on gens.

I would prefer they add Jack from RE7 could possibly work, since in RE7 he is actually the main antagonist hunting you far longer than Dimitrescu does in her game.
For a full chapter, I am not sure if they would add a survivor, because it would have to be Ethan Winters, but CAPCOM has been very careful to not show his face for some reason, which clearly would be difficult in a multiplayer games.
Mia, maybe? Or even Rosemary.
As for Lady D., I think the reasons why people want her are fairly self-evident. Arguably Jack is a more obvious candidate as far as his potential kit goes. Lady D. I can only imagine as a hybrid of Knight and Artist.

just gonna counteract that guy with some Birdposting

Might it be the FoV they use? FoV tends to influence how “fast” you perceive yourself to be going, even though it technically hasn’t changed.

I’ve been getting amazing value from Friends ‘til the End. I’m still workshopping a build around it, but it complements its instant teleports shockingly well.

If it's true facecamping, he Anti-Facecamping thing would allow the hooked survivor to get themselves off, provided that no other survivors attempt to go in for the save.

Swamp Realm Beyond update.
It's been, what, over a year since the last installment?

Surprisingly often for the newest release.
Nowhere near the amount of huntresses I got these past two weeks, though.

I had a hacker help me out once against a tunneling nurse who had both recharge addons and had already hooked me twice at 5 gens. We both clicked our flashlights at her (which had infinite batteries) for the entire match and I still have zero shame about it. So I guess it depends on the killer. If it’s an M1 killer like ghostface then yeah, I’ll probably feel bad and give him the kill but against a nurse or blight? 0% chance
I am actually lost for words at the audacity.

This remains one of the funniest bugs in the game.

Mid to late thirties, I reckon.

have you actually tried sending a ticket?
You’ll find the offender ID is optional.

I don't recall the previous PTB being that bad.
This one's a rough one for sure, though.

I remember seeing ravens for the first time in my life like over 10 years ago. I couldn’t believe how big they were! Huge! They were huddled next to each other on the back edge of a pickup truck. They looked bigger than chickens! I still can’t believe it lol. And they were fearless too.
Oh yeah, ravens are huge!. They're easily the biggest of the corvid, with the Common Raven having a wingspan sometimes surpassing 150 centimeters. They're also thought to be the heaviest passerine bird of all.
For additional Raven content, check out Loki the Raven on youtube:

birb time
and what is this ptb about? is it just a midchapter?
The Twins update is the big highlight in this one, as well as the store overhaul.
As for the birbs, I have no good reason to hijack this thread, since this is just someone asking a question. Plus, I have my own thread in off-topic now.
-
I’m inclined to agree.

-
My best guess is that it's the store overhaul, somehow.
Doubt it's gonna be this big on live, though.

Funny thing is, I've actually started giving Third Seal a shot, and by golly is it good at revealing who's dependent on Windows.

Getting hit through the ceiling of all things sounds exceptionally rare.

A non-facecamping Bubba is quite honestly peak DbD from the survivor's perspective. They're a rare sight these days…

Hah!
I've cracked the secret to the DbD Forums meta long ago!

I have already seen it, I’m afraid
But that doesn’t mean this isn’t an excellent way to showcase a corvid’s understanding of cause and effect!
very good burb

I really think this wasn't supposed to be balanced in any way.
Or be taken seriously, for that matter.
As someone else on here put it, it's a novelty. And it's okay for that novelty to wear off.

Oni got a new Mori animation for the April Fools event. Seems development into allowing alternatives moris exists.
Isn't it just his hatch closing animation?

I suspect it's on a timer of sorts, but I've yet to identify what time it's on.

This to me sounds like severe latency issues. How's your connection?

Could be someone new entirely. A teaser for the annniversary chapter, perhaps?

When you close the hatch the gates open automatically which is dumb. Understandable why people would slug.
i mean, Because of the Oni’s sheer size in this there’s a solid chance he doesn’t need to move to keep watch on both gates.

@RFSa09 said:
how much time do we have to play that? i can´t open the game right now
2 days, I think. No update is required.

I mean, they're removing depipping altogether in the next mid-chapter.

A Devour Hope in the midgame is the ultimate stalling tool. Unless the survivor side is already winning by a large margin, DH will make the game come to a grinding halt. You must find the totem, asap.
FWIW, it's also the last vestige of the glory days of the totems.

The threshold for high MMR is low. The majority of the playerbase is low because who knows how many people try out the game or play once or twice a week. I’d bet that the majority of people who play consistently are at high mmr. The stats that you mention also clearly show that a full SWF at high mmr has a much higher win rate than the 40% BHVR is aiming for.
high mmr =/= top mmr.
the official stats showed the winrate of the absolute top mmr players.
You've been told this numerous times.
-
You need to finish the last gen, which will power the gates. And you need to escape through the gates as well, so no hatch for you.
It is possibly the single hardest survivor achievement to get naturally.

yeah its a placebo effect your still only getting 3 seconds distance awhile alot of people think your getting 5 seconds of distance

Crows! Where would horror as a genre be without them?
I was already working on a first draft of this a week or so ago, inspired by my discovery of the fraud of the Crow of Judgement. I wasn't necessarily planning on covering crows as the third bird, but now TierZoo has gone ahead and posted a video about crows as well. He focuses on their intelligence, which is remarkable in its own right, but it's not what I want to focus on right now.
What I do want to focus on is an error TierZoo made. Specifically in the footage he used to demonstrate corvids' iridescent plumage.
Taken straight from his video. (The editing is his, not mine. I also don't know his source.)
This, much like the Crow of Judgement, is not a crow. It's a grackle.
I'm not completely sure what kind of grackle, since the tail is obscured (I think a great-tailed grackle?).
That aside, I'm starting to get the feeling that I, as the forums' resident bird fanatic, should clarify about this misconception.
The bronzed grackle. The original Crow of Judgement. (Admittedly, Grackle of Judgement doesn't roll off the tongue as well.)
Now, I'll fully admit, it's an easy mistake to make. In the right lighting, a black, mean-looking bird is gonna be called a crow. They can't help it.
So how do I know that this isn't a crow? Well, that is what I want to focus on today.
Take this American crow.
Since grackles only appear in the Americas, this is likely the bird you'll be comparing it to.
Now, if you put these two birds next to each other, you'll immediately be able to tell a very obvious difference. However, I also want to use this particular image to highlight some other things. In order of how easy they are spot:
1: The eyes are, very obviously, very different from grackles. Grackles usually have yellow or lighter brown eyes. Crows have very, very dark brown eyes (American crows, anyway)
4: The "whisker-feathers". A feature of most corvids, which obscures their nostrils entirely. Notice that I wrote "most", as there are corvids that don't have 'em.
3: A bit hard to tell from this picture, but the crow's beak is a lot thicker. Corvid beaks also tend to bend downward at the tip, forming a sort of hook. The beak's shape, more than any other part of a bird, is determined heavily by what it's used for, so it's gonna vary for where you find your local corvids.
4: The iridescence, while present, is not nearly as defined as the iridescence seen in grackles. In grackles, the iridescence makes their feathers look purple or brown depending on the bird's gender. In the American crow, and most crows in general, it looks blue-ish, or only slightly purple in the right lighting. For the most part, the crow will still look mostly black.
Other features, which cannot be shown in image format, include the fact that crows and grackles have different calls. American crows are very well known for their CaaW-CaaW-CaaW as wikipedia so helpfully describes it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnDRHDoOsEw&ab_channel=MyBackyardBirdingGrackles, on the other hand, have calls more resembling what you would expect from a passerine bird. Mostly, anyway.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WHssylmUos&ab_channel=VolkanYukselAnother asset that corvids have that grackles don't, is their sheer intelligence. I've already mentioned their remarkable intelligence. Some estimates put corvid intelligence at roughly the equivalent of a 7-year-old human child. Grackles don't possess that level. You won't see any grackles drop nuts onto the roads to have cars crack them open, or use sticks to pull grubs from tiny holes.
Now, for some harder stuff. Get ready, 'cause this is going to get confusing.
Now, crows are known as wholly black birds. It's part of what granted them their doom-&-gloom connotations in pop-culture. However, crows aren't always completely black. Take the piebald crow for example. The name already hints at it.
https://www.birdguides.com/gallery/birds/corvus-albus/1002033/
Given what I've already mentioned, you'll still be able to tell that this is a crow (the "whiskers", dark eyes, and the general shape which I find hard to put into words).
But what if I threw these at you?
(apparently from wikipedia? i couldnt find it on the bird's page)
https://www.birdguides.com/gallery/birds/coloeus-monedula/1005390/
Suddenly it becomes much clearer how grackles can be confused for crows.
These are the Australian raven and jackdaw respectively. Both are corvids, but lack the dark eyes. Instead, they have white eyes. Not yellow, but white. They both have the "whiskers" as well. You won't find these sitting besides grackles, either, since the jackdaw is a European bird and the Australian raven is…well.
Both of these can be distinguished by their size as well. Ravens are generally much larger than grackles (and most corvids), and jackdaws are amongst the smallest corvids.
I'll stop myself here, since I'd be going on a tangent about other corvids that you really wouldn't confuse for grackles.
To finish off, I'll throw some test birds at you. Can you tell if these are grackles, or corvids?

I’d wait with such a statement until the actual blights get their hands on it. For all we know they’re gonna discover another smooch tech, wind turbine tech or lagtech 2.0.

It does laughably little against specific killers. Precisely those who excell at tunnelling.
