im playing as huntress and I find a match instantly. Everyone is already ready as I join. I am a green rank killer. The last 10 matches where extremely toxic rank 1-2s swfs. I see 2 flashlights and 2 medkits so I throw on lightborn and ire head and belt. Sick of toxic swfs I became the toxic killer before I hook the last person I msg them saying that was fun lol. Well it ended up being 2 rank 18s with the medkit and 2 rank 2s with the flashlights just trying to teach there friends how to play. I felt extremely bad about
Dude exactly the same thing happened to me. I've been playing Huntress recently (I'm at rank 7 and was often playing teams of rank 2-5s), it's a lot of fun and challenging, but it can be extremely demoralizing when you play a game and jump through all the hoops of the survivor rulebook for the Killer (e.g. you don't camp, you don't tunnel), you end up with a pretty intense battle with a few slugged near the exit gates, with people sabotaging hooks, flashlight stealing your kills etc. Maybe you end up with 1 or 2 kills, and then you get a "gg ez" in the match lobby. People bad mannering you like this when you're playing a Killer with a high skill ceiling just makes you want to tunnel next game, or play someone for an easy 4k like Legion or Basement Bubba.
So I play the next game with Iri head + the belt, but its literally rank 18s and I walk through them with not one gen done. Felt super bad.
I wonder if the game would be better if you could see the ranks of people in the lobby, at least then you would know if you need to put your try-hard add ons and perks on. Perhaps that would just make more people leave pre-game?

OOF. No way would I buy a Killer with shards. Thems Shrine dollars right there. If I want a Killer I just pay for their DLC. Most of them were like $3.50 during the sale.
Yeah I bought a load of killers during the sale, I don't think the shrine is a good investment if you plan to unlock all the killers and their teachables in the long run! I'd rather spend shards on Killers which cannot be paid for with money, and eventually cosmetic items.
Anyway we're going off topic a bit! Your point was that its unfair on Killers who are level 1 to be put in the same matchmaking, my response to that was to have an unranked playlist.

To see if you even LIKE the Killer or not. After several games with Myers, I decided I don't much care for his playstyle. Your suggestion would imply I need to sink a half a million bloodpoints or MORE just to try him out? Sorry, man. Maybe you've been playing for over a year and you have all these leveled people but I'm on week 6 (started around the Halloween sale) and I am not burning a half a million bloodpoints over a test drive.
Nah I've been playing this game for less than a month, today was the first time I saw a rank reset
You can get someone to rank 15 with like 100k bloodpoints, by that point you will have all their base perks, and a handful of commons (maybe good ones if you are lucky).
If you're buying Killers for their teachables then you will have to level them up to 30-40 anyway! By which point you'll definitely have enough perks on them to give them a good play.
I recently bought Legion with shards (mainly for his Iron Maiden perk for the huntress), I had to level him up to 40 anyway for this perk, probably cost me about 500k bloodpoints yes, but I can get that in about 10 games anyway as I usually run BBQ. I literally was able to play with him and his best add-ons and some good perks (Nurses, Sloppy Butcher) within 10 minutes of unlocking him.
It's a bit of a grind, but it's not nearly as much of a grind as it could be, to be honest.

Restart, and I’d do so before playing. Not sure how it affects your progress if you play a bunch of games then get the rank reset afterward.
Ah yes, I see I went down 1 rank only (although I had just pipped up in the game after that bugged reset so I may have gone down 2)

The problem with "just dump bloodpoints into them" is that it doesn't actually give you any experience with the Killer. I'm still going to be practicing against red ranks. And yes, that's not hyperbole. I rank into a 2 and a pair of 4s the other night my first time trying out Myers. That was not fun at all.
Let's be honest, when playing as this killer in any serious manner you are going to be using 4 perks and possibly add-ons to maximize your chances of winning, so why would you even waste time playing it with no perks and getting used to that, just stick some common perks or their 3 teachables on.
I think the solution for this would be to just have an unranked playlist, I think this might actually be more fun, you can use this to run killers/builds you are not used to, and I think the survivors would be less likely to play to win/gen rush etc, if they were also trying out different builds, or playing more casually.

Sometimes I need to close and open the game a second time in order for the reset to happen.
I actually got a window pop up which had my old ranks, they disappeared, and then reappeared as the same ranks, does this mean the reset happened, or is that just bugged and I might need to restart?

As a (as of last night) Rank 13 Killer I constantly see red ranked Survivors so how can you say the ranking system favors Killers, exactly?
It's also hugely unfair to Killers that if we want to try a new Killer out, we are at Level 1 with no perks or add ons and only one slot, but we are still considered our overall Killer rank for matchmaking. How is THAT fair?
You can always just farm BP with another character and level the new killer up to at least 15. I think playing a killer you have no experience with and just one perk is not a great idea, you're going to struggle there even against a low rank team.
Although somehow factoring in the level of your killer (excluding prestige) into matchmaking might be a good idea, although it's kind of an edge case, high rank players will only have these low level killers for one game very rarely, so unsure if this feature is worth implementing.

The rank reset for me, to literally the same rank and pips LOLWUT

Thanks for the answers guys!
@Heartbound said:
Switching Bitter Murmur for infectious could be doable. As long as you can get a shot off on whoever you see. (Depends on your personal skill).
By shot I guess you mean M1 or a hatchet, yeah I do tend to down people quite often, I just had this idea after one game I lost when I got flashlight blocked about 2-3 times trying to hook someone, I believe Infectious would totally counter that as I'd be able to down, scare off, or at least be aware of the incoming flashlight and angle (e.g. look at a wall when picking up)
@HellDescent said:
Keep the bitter murmur or switch it for bbq or whispers if you want. Infectious fright is not a good info perk on huntress
So I do have BBQ and Bitter Murmur on right now, I was considering swapping Bitter out for IF but obviously keeping BBQ. Yeah I don't have Whispers yet on the Huntress, but that would definitely be a consideration for the slot when I get it.
@bjorksnas said:
infectious only has a limited range due to huntresses low terror radius size, I reccomend a different tracking perk isntead, like whispers or spies from the shadows
+1, yeah I do like Whispers, use it on most other killers, it would take the bitter murmur spot I think if I had it on Huntress

@ALostPuppy said:
That second to last idea but unironically. You have no idea how much I want to hit survivors with a pillow now.
Pyjama and pillow cosmetics for every killer please?
Instead of blood splatter, you just get feathers flying everywhere
-
Generators are far too slow to repair as well, it should be at least twice as fast, as I don't always spawn with 3 other survivors so sometimes I can't get a generator done before the killer comes and kills me.
Also the generator keeps exploding for some reason and I think this alerts the killer to my presence, they should nerf generators
-
thanks for adding mine to the list, just a small comment, might be worth putting windows store or PC Xbox Game Pass, unsure if by Windows XP you meant Xbox Pass, but people might think it actually means the OS Windows XP (I'd be shocked if it worked on that :P)

Can I add a few?
*Shack pallet sometimes can only be broken by one side
*Plagues wells can sometimes be drank from when corrupted, turning the wells pure.
*Very poor desyncs with the dedicated server
*When all Plagues wells are corrupted she will gain her power and open up a well, cannot corrupt all wells (might be working as intended)
+1 for the killer shack pallete bug, this just happened to me. Someone pulled the pallete going INTO the shack, I couldn't break it. I went round and somehow still got the down by entering the other door, the pallete was breakable from within the shack.
Some other issues I've seen since logging on today, all related to the UI (I'm on Windows Store/Xbox Game pass):
- In game, I can no longer see player names on the status/health indicators in the bottom left. I thought this was an intentional fix to reduce toxic messages, but my friend playing on the PS4 told me he could still see them.
- I can no longer see player names for survivors in the lobby (again unsure if intentional)
- At the end of a game (as Killer), the panel which shows player scores and perks seems to no longer work, most of the time it has been totally empty, a couple of times I could see 1 or 2 players scores and perks (sometimes in random places, e.g. the 2nd or 3rd player shows but can't see 1st/4th)
- At the end of a game (as Survivor OR Killer) I have not been able to see the Killer score and perks
-
I'm pretty sure they overlap, so 45 metres gives you the lullaby, 20 metres gives you the terror heartbeat and the lullaby.
65 metres would practically be the majority of most maps
-
I've seen it stated in a few places that cross progression is not available on Windows (Xbox/PC Game pass) and Steam, so you won't be able to carry over your account/unlocks/bloodpoints.
Cross-play is, but NOT cross progression. They're trying to work it out with Microsoft, same with Sony.

The reason I find hitting on the hook to be somewhat toxic is just because they don't have to hit you to win or get an advantage. It's really just the killer kicking you when you're down; but that's just my opinion, and people can do it if they want.
That's honestly fair. I consider myself a relatively chill player, I don't play DBD competitively and I often sacrifice myself for my teammates, but sometimes I get salty over matches I lose when I feel I should have pulled it off. It's usually not the killer's fault though, just my own lack of skill and mistakes. Thanks for the quick answer!
I guess don't always blame yourself either, a lot of times it is down to how we play, but in solo survivor, a lot of times it can be because your getting matched up with new players who don't know how to play.
I find playing Killer more stressful, as usually the loss is down to you not putting enough pressure or making a misplay, unless you're against a particularly good SWF (or VERY good solo team), and maybe don't have an optimal build (perks/add ons).
-
I've never thought of a killer hitting you on the hook as being toxic, they're just playing the character, they are an aggressive killer, after all.
On the main topic, I'm not sure, I feel that DBD is a particularly frustrating game to lose on, and can at times feel unfair, even if you lost due to a lack of skill which is not clear at the time, so I think this leads to people being generally aggravated, and doing stuff like this when they lose (or win).
It's pretty annoying though, I'd get post-game BM for camping when I first started playing, then for tunneling. Once I knew the "accepted" way to play, I remember I got my first 4K as the nurse, with 0 camping or tunneling, pretty intense game. I said "gg" and the post-game comment was "I let you get that kill", and another person criticised me for being on windows store. There's no escaping it sometimes, no matter how you play.
I'm thinking perhaps due to this covid 19 lockdown, everyone is feeling particularly down, and choosing to take it out on others online, which then makes the cycle worse. Although I didn't play this game pre-covid so I have no idea.

I was very tempted to pick up Oni, but from all the high level builds I've seen, it looks like its practically necessary to also have the teachables for the Doctor (Monitor & Abuse), and the Plague (Infectious Fright). Is it even worth picking him up without these?
Ok wow nevermind, picked him up and I got 3 wins as him even without levelling him up (just used the Obession perk he has, which I don't think even helped as I didn't see the aura once). One of the wins was a 4K too, he seems pretty powerful.
-
OK thanks Mooks.
Already got a few rare achievements so considering keeping this game on Xbox for now, I guess I could just cancel the game pass and buy it through the store anyway
-
If you want to attack things, just play Killer! Eventually you will get to a rank where the survivors will not be so easy to kill (at least all of them).

You can’t link your PS4 account at all.
Currently only steam and Stadia accounts can be linked, with Switch following soon.
they are still negotiating with Sony and Microsoft but can’t say if crossplay will ever come for those platforms.
that said, I would be still interested in the answer, if anyone knows??
I'm assuming Microsoft here applies to the Xbox AND the Windows Store/Xbox Game Pass?
I'm playing this on Xbox Game Pass (on the PC) at the moment, but its literally the only game I play on the pass, so I'm considering cancelling and just buying on Steam.
