I think people are vastly underestimating how DbD pulls off replayability and… playabity in itself. Or to be more precise, how others didn’t. Whether it be by luck or design genius, DbD simply has the best gameplay loop.
DbD has randomised maps. No single map is the exact same every match. Pallets and windows in different locations, entire buildings are turned to a different angle, totems being random, etc.. Only RPD is largely static, and even then there’s two variations.
VHS in particular had completely static maps. Stations in the same place, windows in the same place, etc. Once you learn it, there’s nothing to surprise you. The chases play out the same way every time. That gets dull.
I haven’t really paid attention to how F13 does it, but I believe its maps are fairly static as well. Loot is randomised, which helps, but the layout is the same.
VHS had immense accessibility issues. Both in the physical accessibility sense, as well as just getting into it. Thanks to the excessively long closed beta, people got too good at the game, which put off new players who just didn’t stand the slightest chance. Granted, DbD has this too, but VHS became inaccessible before it even hit EA, whereas DbD allowed itself to establish a healthy playerbase post-release before it became harder to get into.
F13 also had the issue of counselors just being eliminated on the spot, out of nowhere. Thematically cool, but it does get dull rather quickly, imo. Kill animations can only go so far in making it less annoying that you don’t even get to play 3/4th of the match. I’m concerned TCM is going to suffer from this too.
Evil Dead also has static maps, and massive ones at that. But the objectives are randomised. Being an Epic Games exclusive and having very little in the way of word-of-mouth marketing greatly stunted its early growth, though.
As did the fact that, ultimately, it’s limited to a niche license. F13 had this issue as well, and I reckon TCM will too. TCM is creating their own characters, at least.

No. Or at least, not drastically.
Just make it not stack with other speed increases.

Ah. I was wondering why my rift progress was skyrocketing.
-
honestly, the bugs are DbD’s equivalent of character bans in like OW.
in a weird way, I’d honestly think DbD would be a very different game without them.

Aimdressing sometimes denies you hits, even when there’s nothing that would’ve stopped it form happening.
Billy suffers from this a lot, in my experience.

Did you get it checked out by someone? My previous laptop had the same issue, but I didn’t realise what it was until it straight-up started melting the motherboard.
You may just be off cheaper to get a new one entirely, though. Really depends on what actually is going on.

Would look funny for sure, but gameplay wise that is nothing but a nerf.

OP clearly has good intentions, but this is not necessary given that we already have a charm for him.
I mean yeah. It’s just that if they did a perk, especially of this kind, then people would run it for the effect alone. It would be run by people who don’t know or don’t care, and then it loses its meaning very rapidly, if not instantly.
Plus, they aren’t going to do BP perks.

That seems a bit tasteless, ngl.

I think OP is asking about killer bots. They reference knowing that survivor bots are here.
You appear to be right, my bad.
I have a tendency to read the title and form my answer on that alone.
-
Pig is one of those killers that I don’t see for a month, and then get 5 in a row of.
Overall, I’d say the rarest are the usual suspects. Hag, Twins and Artist.
@Krazzik said:
Twins, Artist, Hag, Billy, Freddy, Bubba, Oni, Pyramid Head, Sadako.
All of these killers I have seen at MOST once in my last like 50 survivor games, most of them never.
But I see so SO many Weskers.
Bubba is rare for you?? He’s tied with Huntress as one of my most seen, I think.
-
Let’s not perpetuate FoMO even more than it already is, thank you.

from the pinned Anniversary Stream Summary© thread
So you mean killer bots. No idea on that one, but they did say they were interested in doing them.

they...did, though
from the pinned AMA thread
granted "not significant" could mean anything, but "along with a killer update" is not nothing.

regarding this q/a
Question #41: Any changes planned for the Swamp realm? Will you bring back the cut 'Bloodwillow' Tree?:
A: "The tree will eventually return.
However, at the moment, we're focusing our efforts on bringing visual & gameplay updates to existing maps. In The Swamp realm specifically, we're going to remove the generators in the corners of tiles, as well as some elevations that don't have a significant value add gameplay-wise." - Andre

Big ol' Tree will be back whooh!
(which would make it the only realm with 3 maps?)

2024??
good grief
-
“temple of secrets” can only really be one thing, and blow is just a synonym of strike.
not that hard tbh.
-
The shrine is entirely random, though with slight favour towards perks (what you call skills) that are needed in tomes.
Might be months until Decivise appears, might be next week. Impossible to tell, really.

@Pluto_1 said:
They haven't shown up in the BW at all. On my knight I get greens and purples from my other killers, but none of his.
Have to say, that was not clear from your previous explanations.
That just seems like poor luck, though. Again, to reduce the pool of perks that can appear in your webs, I’d recommend P3’ing other killers. That way you won’t need to slog through all their perks to get what you actually want. Or at least, not as much.
Also, every character starts out with their own teachables at tier 1 (yellow), so they wouldn’t appear as yellow in their webs anyway.
-
@Pluto_1 said:
Let me clarify for anyone who thinks I'm too stupid to know how to use the bloodweb. THEY HAVEN"T SHOWN UP!
That’s not what you wrote, though.
I’m still not sure what the actual issue is.
Are perks not showing up in your bloodwebs? Or are only yellow ones appearing? ‘Cause the title implied the latter.
If no perks are appearing at all, then I have to ask if you haven’t gotten all available perks already. If that’s not the case, you got yourself a bug.
-
I meant on the BW, but yes you can actually buy perks from the Shrine of Secrets.
Though, I’d recommend getting characters up to prestige 3 if you want their perks maxed out on all characters. Saves a lot of the grind in the long run.
-
Huh?
Have you considered…buying the perks? They turn a lovely shade of green if you do that.

It's a neat idea, but not for his base kit. It'd be a good fit for the ultra rare/very rare slots.

Wait wait

-
Most likely, the bot will “possess” the character that just dc’d. That is to say, take over as they were. There’s no need for them to respawn if they just take the wheel.
If they were to start fresh, you’d get scenarios where a killer has to play a full match against 4 completely untouched bots, when the match already has come to a conclusion. That’s ludicrous.
-
Completely forgot to update yall about my translating endeavours
basically, that lady I mentioned a few months ago was all well ‘n good, but her course was ultimately not officially recognised, which would mean less opportunities on the eventual job market. Not to mention that the flattery she opened with sounds more and more like a sales pitch, the more I read it.
So instead I’ve decided that I’ll be following an officially credited program, which includes an internship at the end. It’s twice as expensive, but I also won’t have to deal with finding accommodation and/or public transport, since I only need to be on campus for 8 Saturdays every year.

I thought the rights to Jason & the movies for gaming purposes were still knee-deep in lawsuits? The last other franchise I am recall adding his likeness was the tenth Mortal Kombat.
If not, then heck yeah he should be brought in. Would have to be careful not to borrow too much from his last game for his power possibilities. There's a few very good options for surv choices too.
I believe the lawsuit got resolved last year, but I’m a bit vague on what it actually resulted in.
Either way, if BHVR landed the license after the lawsuit ended, we’d see the results soon-ish.
-
Thing is, this isn't an issue with the facecamping measure. It's an issue with how the tunnelling measures doesn't really do anything at all versus the actual problematic tunnellers.
Though I really don't know how to handle a killer like Nurse in particular, since she really does just shrug off a DS, even if it was a 5-second stun.

Camping is getting looked at, for what it's worth.

Maybe they left the match? Never seen this happening myself.

So, according to the doomsayers, this would mean there’s…no players queueing at all?

Had a bot Ash run into the exit gate area

I think we’llbe fine.

You only need to reach it once.

This is really sad news, Puppers wasn’t only one of the OG DbD streamers but -afaik (I don’t really follow any streamers much)- has been always one of the few positive ones that genuinely had fun playing the game and interacting with his community and from my POV seemed like such a great person!

It would be good if that's the case, but they said:
Does it work in the endgame?
No. The anti-camp system will be disabled in the endgame.
So endgame means when you power the exit gates first right?
But in reality endgame starts as soon as the gens are finished because they are most of the time 99% and survivors just wait for you.
I mean, isn’t it generally better to await the actual implementation?

I’d imagine it would be like DS and OTR, which disable as soon as the fifth gen pops.
