I'm always amazed by what people say in regards to the devs and game stats. Their flawed, dont read to much in to them, etc etc.
As a business owner for almost 20 years now. I have a saying that I teach to all my young managers....Numbers dont lie. You might not like what they say. But dismissing them or justifying them with excuses doesn't help.

in this game, things like kill rate are utterly irrelevant because of situations like self kill on hook, farming matches, or kills during EGC. How can people say "well he got 4k" to justify gen speed is ok when all the kills came after the gens were done? Literally void of logic.

in Why Don't You (Devs) Just Provide Perk Usage Statistics At Regular Intervals? Comment by Hopesfall February 28, 2020

This was back in 2017 when I had friends that played and we were all pretty new: we got the achievement for everyone escaping through the hatch at once.. it was on Coal Tower, I used a map to mark the hatch..it was pretty tense getting to the point where everyone was able to make it out.. good times. We bullied the ######### out of that killer though, I think we had 3 brand new parts, which back then was an immediate gen done, probably darkest moonlight and murky reagent offerings too.. it was pretty disgusting now that I think about it lol.

For me individually: adept Nurse post atomic nerf; also back in 2017/2018 when I first started hitting red ranks as killer, I would VS the same 4 man SWF like every other match.. they were such try hards, I started bringing Ebonies to which they weren't fans (which didn't require hook back then).. also remember vs the same team on Thompson House as Billy, I went straight for the shack at the start of the match and downed one as they blocked each other in the door.

Same killers who cried about instant heals. Using iri head take no skill at all.

not when the survivors run up to the Huntress at the start of the game to get into her dead zones

maybe dont play like clowns vs Huntress

do you think normal Huntress takes skill? If she requires skill for 2 shotting, what is the difference? She still has to hit the throws.. again, unless you run up to her face

in Do Devs want to Keep IRI HEAD in the game? Comment by Hopesfall February 26, 2020

BBQ only kicks in after 40 meters or so right? So even with iron maiden, people close to you wouldn't show up. not worth the 2nd perk slot

in What if Killers had exaustion Perks too? Comment by Hopesfall February 25, 2020

Aside from what's already been mentioned.. the lack of interesting add ons for new killers has been practically non existent.

Myers - 2: Scratched Mirror & Judith's Tombstone

Pig - 1: Amanda's letter

Plague - 2: Iridescent Seal & Black Incense

Legion - 1: Iridescent Button

Spirit - 2: Prayer Beads was deleted so that leaves Dried Cherry Blossom & Juniper Bonsai

Freddy - 2: Pill Bottle & Class Photo

Oni - 1: Renjiro's Bloody Glove

etc etc

Compare that to Hag - 6: can teleport to any trap, deafens survivors, phantasms have collision, no cue trap was triggered, causes hindered status & moves quicker, no heartbeat when trap is triggered.

Where is the creativity? Everything now revolves around power recharge, power duration, and fatigue reduction. Nothing even comparable to Hag's add ons.

in Hillbilly op plz nerf. Comment by Hopesfall February 22, 2020

i've been contemplating it recently; i try to play Nurse on Xbox and if I have a bad game I get griefed to hell during and after the game. Alot of the times I feel like I played decent, winning chases in a timely manner, but gens just fly and I feel like it's pointless to try. Even with range add ons I can't navigate around most maps quick enough to "just apply pressure" and actually down people.

yes i could play a normal m1 killer and merciless but that's not a challenge anymore

moral of the story

get off my ######### ass

Difference between "can't find" and "won't do".
With Archives also relying on using certain perks, maybe I'm already full of OTHER perks. So, I have an Archives perk, an exhaustion perk, a healing perk (generally Self Care) and Spine Chill because knowing when the killer is near and looking for me is really helpful. 4 Perks. No room for Small Game. I play solo, don't always have a med-kit and would also like my kit to last for more than one heal.
Every perk and ability that gives you Exposed has a warning. Except two. NoED and Devour Hope. One of them has requirements from the killer. The most powerful status effect in the game with ZERO WARNING and zero effort.
All I have ever wanted for NoED is a simple quality of life that would make it more tolerable for survivors, yet keeping it's power for killers: Give me the warning WHEN ENDGAME TRIGGERS, not on first hit. Killers still get their little power boost, but survivors have more than 20 nanoseconds to figure out that it's active.

so, even more handholding

the warnings when any status effect is triggered is so pathetic to begin with. Touch a totem? Here's your Thrill of the Hunt warning. Get stalked too much? Here's your warning that the killer is near you. Devour is active? Here, go find it. Make your choice is active? Run and hide for 60 seconds.

It's sad the amount of babysitting survivors require.

You could always assume NOED exists.. by you know.. touching totems for 16 seconds.

Because they were designed around a time when Exhaustion was actually stronger.
Just like killers want toolboxes removed/reworked because ruin is gone, the same applies to exhaustion, a 3K addon that entirely disabled a perk for the chase is silly.
Edit: For what it's worth i think they'll be removed with addon passes anyway.

what the hell is an addon pass

in Why do Exhaustion add ons even exist anymore? Comment by Hopesfall February 15, 2020

Discordance, Pop Goes the Weasel, Corrupt Intervention, BBQ

True. It's still a very dull build to play against.

it's very dull to play against 3-4 toolboxes too

in Forever Freddy... Comment by Hopesfall February 13, 2020

I switch "mains" frequently.. I'll get in a mood to play one killer alot over a week or so, while rotating the others..

currently been doing most of matches as Nurse/Demo/Plague.. Nurse to try and get better as it's a challenge, Demo because he's fun and the new skin is dope, Plague because I'm determined to make her work -_-

Hag was my actual main when I first started in 2017 though, first one I got to P3.. played the hell out of her. Back when her traps took 9 hours to set.. with speed addons..

in Who’s your killer main and why? Comment by Hopesfall February 10, 2020

You can't perform actions in madness III.

you can still vault and drop pallets, and it takes less than 10 seconds to get out of it and drop back 1.. not that great of a hindrance unless you insist on clicking a flashlight mid chase

in Looks like Doctor is OP now Comment by Hopesfall February 10, 2020

Huntress:

A barn owl theme -- i know Bird of Prey exists, but the chest piece isn't symmetrical and it bugs me, and barn owls have the coolest faces.

A completely black, panther theme

and neither of these should be the gargantuan size that the devs keep using on her outfits like Mother Bear or Solstice Devotee.. those are just ridiculous looking

in Outfits you'd like to see. Comment by Hopesfall February 10, 2020

Also, that add on that used to show where your blink would end.. I forget if that's still a thing, but make that basekit and it'd be much easier

but agreed with everyone on the fatigue + cooldown, it's pretty garbage to be penalized twice if someone Dead Hard-s you

Original, mostly cause I’d love a mermaid/siren killer and as far as I’m aware there aren’t any horror mermaids iconic enough for the dbd devs to pursue a license for.

I was reading this and was like "how would a mermaid even look when it's 'walking'?".. then I thought of how Nurse floats.. mermaid could 'float' on a small layer of water.. that'd be cool

in Do you want the next chapter to be licensed or original? Comment by Hopesfall February 8, 2020

Original.. more freedom with the killer's power and aesthetic.. increases availability of cosmetics that can be bought with shards as well

When you kick a generator, what if Discordance revealed auras of the survivor who last interacted with that generator?
Just spitballing some ideas here. 😁

How about.. deafens the survivor for the duration of the highlighted time

The same way the Hag's Disfigured Ear deafens survivors.

I've always wanted more add-ons/perks with those kinds of effects.. disorienting ones.

in Discordance Tiers Comment by Hopesfall February 8, 2020

I pretty much only use Mew's Guts & Black Heart, both reduce Shred recovery + 1 extra portal. I use Shred more to catch up in chases or move around quicker if I don't want/unable to activate my portals, it's pretty useful IMO.

Don't put portals in line of sight of gens.. if a gen is at a T/L, put a portal behind one of the walls. Not sure why some put portals right on top of gens, survivor's going to bolt.

Use BBQ if you have it, so you can basically teleport to gens being worked on. I'm All Ears is another good perk for him to help end chases quicker.. Shred + the aura read will stop T/Ls & jungle gyms in quick order.

Last thing, since I use Mew's Guts, i generally try to save 2 portals to put next to the exit gates and I still have enough to do what I need during the match.

Sidenote: It'd be nice if there was an increased shred lunge-distance add on..

No because think about it.
Say we have 3 in a SWF and 1 random.
That random will suffer because the SWF will be doing stuff slower and have less hooks overall.
That's not fair for that one survivor.
Your suggestion is really flawed in that aspect

while true.. they'd still be playing with 3 coordinated people who theoretically should be carrying the load

playing with 3 w/slight debuffs is still probably better than 4 solos doing their own thing.. no?

anyways this is just brainstorming.. i thought that was the point of such a thread but reckon not
