  • Has the Western world sunk into communism while I wasn't watching?
    You guys don't need those items. They are cosmetic. Hence the name "cosmetics". You can grind a full set of them for free too. You'd want the whole stuff? You understand that the developer team has to be paid for all the work they do to keep the game fresh, but you still want everything just handed to you?

    Why not petition for limitless access to free beer while you're at it?
  • Like things free, do you?
    It's a virtual set of clothes for virtual characters in a virtual world. If you cannot get it (although two weeks is plenty), well... I think you'll still do fine.

    The idea is that you still play to win, it's still competitive, but people don't mind losing as much because they're not actually losing anything, and therefore the environment would be less toxic overall, similar to how the environment is at low ranks currently - people are there either because they don't care about losing or because they're still new so they don't have high expectations of themselves or their teammates.

    Yeah I feel you. On the long run though, it's still more a question of a player's personality. This topic always reminds me of me playing Settlers of Catan (a great board game) with family members. My brothers and me used to play ruthless, because we view "this is how the game should be played, and it's just a game anyway", while my sister and mother always played nice and cooperative, which we found boring or downright stupid :)

    I would actually support making a casual gamemode and a ranked one, but that would divide the community. I'm quite happy at the moment with lobby waiting times being very short, even as killer, but I'm not sure DBD's playerbase would be enough for two sets of lobbies. I wonder if LoL has a bigger number of players (never played it).

  • @Fibijean first, feel free to ignore lowbei. Occasionally he presents valid points, but he's mostly interested in trolling and baiting people into little flame wars. Not worth it.

    As for casual mode, I think it would be very tough. There's no guarantee the players you view as salty would not find their way in there. Also, if deranking in the current ranking system is possible for people who want to play more casual, it is possible for everyone else. 
    To be honest, I can't wrap my head around "casual" play anyway. Would you want a killer to assist survivors? Would you want survivors offer them up for the hook? Games like this are great exactly because they're competitive. You try to take competitiveness out of it, you kill the game. Give your best and hardest, and take a deep breath, smile and say gg when it doesn't work out.
    Btw, dbd DOES have casual mode, it's called KYF and Survive With Your Friends.
  • Didn't you hear? British scientists just confirmed: everything sucks.
    Happy now?

    At least he's trying to be less toxic/######### towards other players. Yeah he still plays aggressively with flashlights, looping and all that,BUT he doesn't sit there teabagging every pallet and spamming hate in the chat while talking ######### about the other players.
    Well from what I've seen. ngl I don't watch his stream very often, just the occasional YT video, and it's miles less toxic that someone like Pug, ochido, anyone that publicly encourages DCing to derank (or DCing in general).

    I could be way off and he could actually be a mega-twat while streaming though lol.

    Umm... except he hacked. Plus, he's the slimiest, cringiest SOB out there. God, the half hour long video where he tries to explain away his ban (because of hacking), with the most cheesy melodramatic music playing in the background... "I've been unjustly wronged!"
    Honestly there is no bigger twat in dbd than him, including Ochido.

    Is selfish or hindering actions on part of the survivors always necessarily trolling? For example, if you're in a chase and know someone is hiding that isn't as skilled you, and you lure the killer toward them in hopes he switches to an easier target is a bit cut throat, but not necessarily trolling. Sometimes sabotaging the weakest link is the right call if they're a bigger hindrance than help.

    I like the way you think :)
  • Not exactly the topic of this discussion, but what the hell: anyone can recommend some reliable software to record my games with?

  • @DeadByFlashlight
    "Tunneling = DC" ? What is that? Do you realize how effective a strategy tunneling is (when done right)? Do you realize how much you screw your teammates over when you DC? I know it's feels bad when you are the one being tunneled, but if everyone had the same attitude, then in every game it's either you get tunneled and DC, or someone else, then he DC-s and then the killer picks you up one by one.

    Losing a game doesn't make you a pussy. Giving up does.

    I just tried to flag each post as a spam post and then I got a spam block ban for 180 seconds for "posting" 3 times in 60 seconds even though I was just reporting the posts..... face palm Seriously, what? @MandyTalk

    I agree, let's make an example out of you, you damn flagspammer!

    @Tsulan said:
    It´s like they all want a temp ban, because they couldn´t get theirs in the last wave.

    Ooooo, maybe their giving out cosmetic T-shirts? 'I missed the Halloween event and all i got was this T shirt' or 'I'm with stupid' for lobby time hilarity.

    Man that's a brilliant idea! Create one unique set of cosmetics for every character who received a DC ban and force those players to wear that for a month (disable the other cosmetic items).
    "Please don't hit me"
    "Farm with me or I'll DC"

    Or just an orange jumpsuit like the kind you have to wear in jail.

  • Oh please, being tunneled is a terrible excuse for ragequitting. Can't take being chased? Why the hell do you even play this game?
    Cheating is a valid reason I guess. But I can tell on PC there are hardly any cheating. Mostly it's just immature players accusing others of it, because they themselves can't take a defeat with a bit of dignity.
    Maybe cheating is rampant on console, I don't know.

    sc takes about 20secs at half speed (or something similar) you are saying to find another player (which may or may not still be alive) to then force them to spend 10seconds of their time AND 10seconds of yours (back to 20secs of survivor time spent), not to mention time it takes to find them, get to them, and get them to start healing.

    your numbers dont add up. it is irresponsible to not run sc

    40 seconds with SC, full heal if there aren't other effects. Pretty sweet. I was also considering Bond because of this, and Autodidact.

    I just meant, this patch is by no means a reason to leave... rather a reason to stay. It improves the balance a lot. No offense @slingshotsurvivor , but this is a pointless post. Whip out your Urban Evasion and get back to the game at once.

    I was referring to the video mentioned, I haven't seen it :P

    Ah I get it now.
    It's worth every second and every drop of fake tear :) I couldn't take it so I didn't watch it all, but it's better than some of those 4 hour long Bollywood romances.

  • @blaahval22 Yeah I'm on PC. You should be too :)

    Paying for a haircut?

  • @blaahval22 said:
    Regarding this subject, I was playing as a survivor where the killer quit after roughly 30 seconds. I was granted a 5000 BP Escaped-bonus which I don't believe has happened before? Has something been changed?

    I think it's been like this for a long time now, maybe you just haven't noticed. Killer quitting counts as an escape for remaining survivors ---> 5000 BP, plus whatever you gathered up until that point.

    What's more important I think is that some kind of minor reward should be there for survivors who stick around after one loser ragequits.

  • @Gamzello oh yes. One of the reliable measures of a game if it can make you mad. If it can, it's probably a good game.
    DBD is right up there qith QWOP :D

  • Agreed, though it's not like we don't have a lot of other brown addons and offerings that are never going to be used. We always gotta buy some garbage to get the good stuff.
  • Sloppy Butcher already became more popular when it was given the Mangled effect. Now it's gonna be even better, not sure if it will make it to meta though. I'm guessing not.
    But it greatly increases the usefulness of Autodidact too.
  • You can hide though. Much better than looping. Not always possible, I know, but more reliable.
    I hope the next chapter comes with some creative stealth perks.
  • About time I think. Generally leans towards killers, yes, but doesn't go too far either. It's exactly what we needed. As a survivor, you don't "lose" if you die in the game, whereas as killer you're a failure if there are no kills.
    I had 4 games as survivor today, died in three, and they were all good games. The healing change is particularly good, now you actually have to take being injured seriously.

    I think one of the problems with this game is that we were too used to a relatively easy escape when playing survivor. This has to be changed. It's a horror game I hear.

    Killers i have in mind to add are : 
    1) The leprechaun 
    2) Chucky 
    3) Hellrasier  
    4) The Predator 
    5) Custom Crazy Looking Killer 

    1) Lame.
    2) Lame.
    3) Lame.
    4) Lame.
    5) Lame.

    Only my opinion, blablabla. Still.

    Why you gotta be a nasty person just for the sake of it? One of the ideas wasn't even articulated and you still called it lame..

    Sorry. I was adopted.
  • I'm sorry, but Chucky is such a big nooooooooooo. Would not fit the atmosphere at all imho.
  • I don't even use them as Wraith or Pig. Thicker fog generally favors survivors.
    And when playing survivor, I get so mad when I see a mate is burning Clear Reagent...
  • @TigerKirby215 it IS actually a low rate. I keep checking it since the new patch is out and it's always around 0 or -1% for me. Granted, I don't camp much, but still. I was originally worried about this new emblem mechanic but it seems quite benign.
  • Can someone tell the admins to stop deleting my Chinese posts? I'm offering legit college degrees to anyone interested, and for a bargain price too. Some of the guys here look like they're in bad need of some higher education. It's for everyone's benefit.
  • Funny to see how he demands others to check their ping before game - it's not as if using a phone hotspot could result in ping jumping from 80 to 400 and back, right?

  • I know a lot of players (some streamers like Tru3 too) are saying sabo buff leads to slugging games and that's not fun, but I disagree. First off, it's not such a great buff (+40 seconds is not that much and they took away Saboteur's speed bonus).

    Second, not only I kinda like doing those well planned sabotages to 99% then dropping the hook right in front of the killer carrying someone, but I can respect it when playing killer too. It's not that easy! I had a game (pre-buff) against a funny sabo squad, and it cracked me up every time when the hook fell on the ground right in front of me again and again. They hardly made any progress with gens so they ended up all sacrificed anyway, but it was so funny. Granted, they were also nice players so the friendly convo after game makes it a good memory. But my point is, don't get too worked up about "survivors screwing with you on purpose". This is kind of what the game is about: hinder your opponent any way you can. And sometimes it's really just about someone testing new tactics to play, new loadouts. Variety should be always welcome.

  • @KillorRun I think he's worth it for his perks at least. Blood Warden is awesome, when it works out (sometimes it doesn't, but still great) and while hardly meta, Remember Me can be pretty damn useful too. Fire Up is kinda garbage.
    As for Freddy himself, I LOVE playing him. The others above are right, he is undoubtedly the weakest killer there is, but his gameplay is very unique compared to other killers.
    There's a lot of demands to make his Dream Transition shorter (it is normally 7 sec), but it's a wrong approach. The best play with him is use Dress addons, to make it very hard for survivors to wake up. Hwe's got a lot of potential for slowing down generator progress, plus, as @The_Crusader mentioned, he has better chance to turn a 3K into a 4K than anyone else with some skillful slugging at endgame.
    I managed to do some 4K-s around rank 4 and 3, but you have to change your playstyle much to adopt to him.

    At any rate, he's not expensive, plus, you get Quentin - he's pretty much useless, except he has Pharmacy, which is a good perk if you're the hoarding kind as a survivor :)

    Didn't she ?

    lmao

    Oh most certainly. Now tell me she ain't a thing of beauty! I wanna be in her Terror Radius!

  • Nonsense. The most pressing problems for killers is that they can't teabag (except Amanda).
    This has to be remedied, pronto!

  • @Marvel I mostly agree but why are you starting two identical discussions about the same issue?

  • I'd really want a BP or emblem (rather BP) reward for the first one out, and somewhat less for the second one.
    Sometimes they just wait to see if there's anyone who needs help, but sometimes they just waste the killer's time for that +200 BP for Escaped event, which is annoying.

  • @pemberley I LOVE doing gens. I have over 500 hrs as survivor and it's still my favourite thing to do. Scratch chases, don't need that pressure.

  • @Radiant , learn to play this game properly sweetheart. That means STEALTH.
    Or keep teabagging all you like, you know it just makes hooking you all the more delicious.

  • Ridiculous. Kate is way sexier than the rest. As for killers, it's Anna without a doubt.

  • @Radiant said:
    oh so @Lowbei you're the local troll, I see... well noted.

    He is a troll indeed. He's not wrong in this though. That was an exploit for survivors. Now it's an exploit for killers. I love it :)

  • Naked Myers and perhaps a snaffle for Laurie? 
  • I don't think getting rid of wiggling is a good idea, but the way we do it... come on, smashing A-D is so stupid. 
    Same goes for hook struggle.
  • I disagree too, @Pie314159265358 . Giving opportunities to survivors to pallet and window loop for 3-4 gens was terrible, it's gonna be slightly better now. And the increase on healing time was badly needed too - it's the perfect middle ground between making repairs even longer and not changing anything. I play a lot of survivor too and it was just too easy, while playing killer have been hell quite often.
    Looping must stay to some extent, survivors must have some way of escaping/dodging the killer, but not for a practically infinite amount of time.
    Again, the game is going to be a little more stealth based. Much better.
  • Uhh... no. These offerings will just be labeled uniquely.
