this is ingame and not in the lobby that everyone is talking about.

It would make no difference. Game boots your connection for being over a certain threshold for too long. If the Killer is not going to be booted from a match in game, then their lobby ping wont make difference.

You can also self throttle your connection, and players who intentionally take advantage of their ping would just decrease how much throttle in lobby and turn it back up in game.

You want to fix the issue around VPN usage, then devs need to implement better security. VPNs are primarily used in this game to stop from being DDoS'd, because your individual IP is visible to everyone in the match. Its a huge security issue, that even Fog Whispers have spoken out about, risking their contracts, yet Behavior has done nothing to rectify it.

this is your personal ping indicator. it definitely doesn't show the ping from the killer at the moment. before switching to dedecated server, it displayed your ping to the killer because the killer was the host.
after the recent scott jund video about counter DH on pallets, i wonder if the developer even knows what it feels like when a killer has a high ping. scott mentioned that it's rare for someone to have a ping over 100, unless he uses a vpn service. killers have to play on European servers, which geographically cannot have a ping below 180ms. which is just ridiculous painfull for everyone.
playing against people with low ping feels completely different than when someone has a ping higher than 200.

Bruh, Its already in the game.

There is no win or lose for killer just a score of 1-4, the kill rate should be 2 kills per round on average for a healthy and fair game for both sides, but right now it's too high.

lol a win for Killer has been defined as a 3k or 4k by the devs, and that is how the mmr works. The game is already hemorrhaging Killer mains again since the HUD update, and you are out here saying its too high as is. You wont have killers to play against if the devs don't get off their asses. We are right back where we were when survivor queues were longer then the average match.

90% of the killer roster is not currently viable. Hit and Run playstyle is all but completely removed from the game. 6 second heals completely negate any pressure from a 4 stack being injured. Average locker reload (not including standing right by one when needing a reload), takes longer then a brown medkit heal. Hooking players takes half a gen worth time in this meta at minimum, and new HUD makes slugging less viable at the same time, diminishing pressure via downing players. Maps suck ass, and continue to be reworked into sucking more ass. Killers still remained bugged for several patches.

Devs have until the next Chapter release to flip it around, or its going to be back-to-back flops on releases. If next Chapter flops, the games population will dip hard until the Anniversary Chapter release.

Honestly, I dont really know. BHVR has dug themselves into a hole with MMR being based on Kills instead of Hooks. Since Hooks can be much easier to balance for than Kills. I feel like the ideal scenario for Killers should be getting 6 Hooks for a tie, 8+ Hooks for a win, with a 50+% winrate.

A 50% kill rate average, would kill the game. It completely destroys the entire power dynamic in an asymmetrical game. VHS, tried it and it is partially responsible for their dwindling player base and super long queue times, if you can even find a lobby.

Hooks mean nothing if all survivors escape. Its extremely hard to balance a game overall feel, with a Killer role, who wins games by not Killing the other role. If you tell me I double hooked survivors and they escape, that I won that match as a Killer, thats a straight lie to my face, and there is no tricking or making me believe that I won that match. All you are doing at that point is giving Killer cognitive dissonance, and slowly bleeding players who choose to play Killer, eventually killing the game.

Even right now, playing weaker killers who have kill rates under 58%ish feels bad. All m1 killers feel weak to play, and weak to play against, and you are telling me you want to lower their kill rate even more? Especially after survivors just got a buff that will drop kill rates 3-5% or more depending on the killer and mmr distribution. Imagine playing a weaker Sadako.

The micro increases in efficiency that Killers got during the meta shakeup killer buff, were completely wiped out by the HUD update, that increased survivors efficiency more then that of killers from their buff. Those micro seconds saved on killers actions mean absolutely nothing now, in terms of time management compared to the HUD update even for SWFs. Time it would take for a SWF to communicate what the HUD communicates is several times larger time saving then a single instance of the killers time savings, and all that communication would be repeated dozens of times over a match by different survivors. Even comp teams get a substantial buff in time efficiency for communicating call outs and clearing coms by the HUD.

The entire reason for the HUD update to buff solo queue to be closer inline with SWFs was done so it is easier to balance killers, which means buffing the weaker ones, and you all out here talking about nerfing their kill rates even further.

I wouldn't mind a 60% survival rate. My average session is about 3 games so if I escape one of those I'll feel good and generally with killer I feel good as long as I feel like any loss was my fault or in my control. I believe the kill rate was higher than this since the last time it was shared so maybe some nerfs are needed for the stronger killer options, I believe this would generally be more impactful than buffs to weaker survivor options. The HUD change does help so maybe better to see if it settles before saying too much.

Even a 50% survival rate would not work in this game. There is a reason why the Devs aim for a 60% kill rate. It is an asymmetrical 1v4, that relies on Killers feeling powerful and survivors working together to overcome the Killers power advantage. All m1 killers feel weak to play, and feel weak to face. You play an m1 killer and survivors know its going to be an easier match, and will play accordingly, taking more risks and memeing around. Play a Nurse or Blight, and hardly any survivor will take risks or meme around, because recovering against a Nurse or Blight is much harder then an m1 killer.

You were probably not around the when survivor queue times were longer then actual matches. Take a look at VHS, a game that lets survivors kill the Killers. The power struggle is not there and is a huge problem with how the game feels and plays out. DBD is approaching that level of dissonance in regards to what it feels like to play against M1 killers. When an equally skilled set of survivors and m1 killer face off, the entire match boils down to the minimum time to optimally run a tile set to secure a health state. Thats literally all it boils down to, for m1 killers at equal skill level, and you know who wins? Survivors, because maps design gives survivors more then enough tiles to run killers to complete gens. M1 killers success is 99% due to survivors making micro mistakes. If survivors do not make mistakes, which when you get enough hours, they don't make many mistakes, M1 killers will not win, despite how well they play.

This is compounded by map design. Certain maps, and map variations, on M1 killers is an automatic loss for M1 killers, unless a survivor makes a huge mistake early, and the other survivors are overly altruistic and the killer leverages it.

Next kill rates posting will most likely see a 3-5% drop in kill rates for all the weaker killers, probably more for the top 5% of mmr, where it is already less viable to run M1 killers.

Idk why everyone is so upset about this. Giving solo players more information was a necessary step to balance the game. There was too much of a gap between solo and SWF and it meant it was more difficult to balance killers and everything else around that.
Will the extra information have an impact and is it a buff to solo survivors? Absolutely. And in some regards it’s even a buff to partial SWFs of 2 or 3 players because they have info on their solo queue teammates now too. But it isn’t giving you anything a 4-stack SWF didn’t already have.
Killers can always be buffed again if necessary (or at the very least some of the weaker ones which need it regardless) especially when Eruption gets nerfed which we know is happening.

They just implemented the HUD, the gen progress, takes the HUD buff and buffs it even further. M1 killers are now not an option in top 5% mmr. You were already at a disadvantage as an m1 killer, now its literally not viable.

I think you're focusing too much on balance here and not Quality of Life which is what this is intended for, and where the biggest gains are going to come from. It's why I've said from the start not to focus on balance when discussing this feature, as information alone doesn't change the killer experience.
Solo survivor was unarguably the group that was in dire need of attention in respect to qol in the game.

Balance is inherently part of QoL, you push it to much one side and QoL of the other side is now, non existent. Like, right now choosing to play 90% of the killer roster is going to suck ass. Which makes playing Killer suck ass. Survivor queue times are going up already.;

It's not "devs are x sided", it's a simple quality of life to bridge the gap between solo survivors and SWF groups. It's more than a welcomed change, in my opinion. At least I know if a teammate is on a 0% gen or on a 70% gen. You can have all of this info in swf, I don't see why can't you have it in solo.

The buff would be fine, if they corresponded it with buffs for the weaker killers, but it did not. Nurse and Blight are going to be all that anyone sees now, like this literally kills off 90% for the roster, it puts Huntress, who was already slipping tiers, down to B tier at most now. Reloads just became even more inefficient.

Nurse, Blight, Wesker, Spirit, Artist are now the only viable killers at top 5% mmr, and you will be forced to run slowdown on all but Nurse and Blight. Then there is Nurses new chase music, which completely removes her ability to hear sounds other then the chase music.

Devs should have held off on the gen progress percentage until they had some buffs for the weaker killers. But nah, that would be logical.

in Reverse the 6.5.1 Update now! Comment by JoeChill261 January 31, 2023

Hooking players takes too much time. Take Huntress and Trickster, I down a player, then I have to hook them, then reload (unless Im running 7 hatchets but even dumping all bp into Huntress you run out faster then you acquire). By the time I do that another gen pops. Slugging, is the only way I can create enough pressure, and even then its risky because, once I get 2 down and go for a hook, the other is usually picked up. Kicking gens is pointless on Huntress / Trickster because of their reload mechanic, they have to snowball fast and any inefficiency in downing players is compounded by the built in inefficiency in reloading and map design.

New HUD makes it even worse for slugging because recover percent is shown to other players. Map design since Silent Hill sucks ass, and locker placement is abysmal, that a single reload means, any pressure you have created is going to be negated by the time you finally reload on most maps. Ive enjoy playing Huntress, but she is becoming less viable as this game continues get worse.

They nerfed other regression perks into useless, so you either run a gen kick build or a full chase / aura build. Full chase / aura build means, any bit of inefficiency in your downing survivors and the match is over. Trying to regain ground in a bad early game at that point, means slugging, tunneling, and situationally camping. Well all three of those are countered by HUD, Reassurance, baskit BT, OTR. Playing solo, I've literally have been given 3 different Reassurance 30 second timers by 3 different survivors on my first hook state, an extra 90 seconds, on top of my 60 seconds for first hook state. Like the #########? Thats 150 seconds or 2 min and half minutes for first hook state. Then it happened again on my second hook state after being tunneled by the killer of the hook, but it was too late for that killer as it was now EGC. Reassurance, means a survivor can be on the hook for 5 minutes before they die, thats 5 gens worth of time, against even an uncoordinated team.

Chasing is by far the most fun aspect of the game, for both sides. in fact, Ive stopped using most gen kicking perks, because I hate having to stop chases and kick gens. But the matches do not permit chasing with how fast gens pop without some form of gen regression, and all non gen kick regression besides Pain Reissuance, has been nerfed into the ground. So as a killer without gen regression, you either snowball and end match in under 5 minutes, or you get ran over by gens popping an matches end in 5 minutes, or you somehow get a lobby of clueless survivors that play Blendette all running Distortion, and then you have 30 minute game of nothing happening.

Map design, post Silent Hill Chapter, is just ass. The aesthetic is on point, but by god, they play abysmally, have the worst collision in any modern game I have ever seen. Throwing hatchets or using any killer with a ranged ability that can collide, has you hitting random ass air pockets in the open and just eating your cooldown or hatchet. When that happens, you are out there in the middle of that map, just holding your dick in your hand, waiting for your cooldown to recharge or you have to then go reload, which takes 30 seconds on the new maps, and all pressure you have created is gone, simply because the devs released a map in a rushed state, and that one instance causes you to lose the match. Then there are the hook spawns, even without survivors running a single Oak offering, you can be ######### sideways, with zero hooks being broken or sabo'd because they just don't spawn.. New Eyrie can have 1/4th of the map without a single hook spawn.

The new Eyrie rework is so bad, most players that are not playing 8 hours a day, will not play it enough to realize just how bad the devs ######### up on its rework, and that is not even touching on the piss poor optimization on that map. My pc is pretty beefy, built way over spec, and Eyrie still out here eating resources like crazy. Collision is worse, then any of the other maps in the game, and says something when Garden of Joy, Borgo, and old Eyrie have horrible collision.

Cheaters, are back at it, again as with every Event. Auto Dead Hards, Speed Hacks, and Every Perk Hacks are back in full force. Just yesterday, over 8 hours, I ran into 5 confirmed cheaters, with footage, 2 auto DH, and 3 speed hackers. Epic Accounts was the single dumbest thing DBD has ever done. Epic, is extremely easy to cheat on, then add on the infinite free accounts you could make when Epic was running the promo for free DBD base games, and cheaters will almost never run out of accounts to use. When players in any game need an account to cheat or exploit on, they buy an Epic version of the game, because it is much harder to track the players activity, no steam like API for users to track other users, Epic likes to ban only the name of the account, not the actual access to the purchased game, and Epic is very lax on security. In games like Ark: Survival Evolved with mulit-regional support and certain regions such as China, were cheating is culturally excepted, mega-tribes keep all their cheaters on Chinese tribe owned servers, all running Epic accounts, and call them in when they need a server dropped, spin-botter, or any other cheat. This is not even touching out private cheats which EAC will never detect.

DBD also has a major security issue regarding players IP. DBD is extremely lucky, it has not seen a mass influx of DDoS or doxing. Its bad enough streamers have to run a vpn in this game just so they don't get SWAT'd. Over the course of the Winter Event, I was DDoS'd 3 times, and I don't even stream, was just playin 8+ hours a day and getting some salty survivors paying for a basic botnet DDoS service, nothing fancy like render range DDoS or region based, just a simple IP targeted DDoS.

The game is fun, but there are so many problems, that keep getting swept under the rug for years that need addressing all while they keep pushing more $15 cosmetics out the door, and not playtesting or fixing PTR issues before going live for 3-6 months.

Good luck finding survivors without aura reading with the new Nurse Music. You can not hear breathing, foot steps, or sounds of pains on the loudest survivors now. Audio is basically useless now on Nurse. You lose one mindgame or you get aim dressing one time, and bye Felicia, that survivors never to be seen again.

Nerfing aura perks would have some footing but what they did to Nurses ability to actually hear sounds is ######### disgusting. This is not how you balance killer. With that said, aura perks in the current meta do not need nerfs, especially if you are running a full aura build, and have zero slowdown, thats high risk high reward, and completely negated by Distortion. When I run full aura Huntress, 1 in 10 games will have a full team running Distortion (usually at least one player has it almost every match), and it requires sweat because now I have no useable perks and one of my addons is wasted.

When I play killer, I work under the assumption that survivors have near perfect information regardless. So from my perspective, little has changed when I play killer. I love the change when playing as a survivor though since I almost always play solo queue. It's not like it really changes what I do most of the time. It's just nice knowing if other survivors are actively working gens or just dorking around. But strategically, little has changed in how I play. If I'm not being chased by killer - work gens. If I'm being chased by killer, then my goal is to buy the maximum amount of time for my team.

Thats not where the punishment for killer happens. Its the small inefficiencies in survivors gameplay that smoothed over Behaviors trash balancing. Take Huntress and Trickster, the time to reload is the same as before, but those couple of seconds saved by the HUD, now punish reloading more then ever. So running increased hatchet and knives addons are more important now, then ever. On maps like new Haddonfield where you average reload, unless standing directly by a locker, takes 30 seconds, those survivors are already healed and on the other side of the map, if you find yourself out of hatchets / knives.

Even in SWFs with coms, the HUD is a direct buff, as it clears coms, and provides an exact timing of actions. When I play survivor, its always solo, and I sit around an 80% escape rate. After the buff, I literally have to try to throw a match or get other players who are trying to throw a match to actually not escape. First day of patch I had 14 solo escape streak on new Eyrie, of which 12 were 4 escape, 1 was 3 escape, and 1 was me escaping solo. My 15th match on Eyrie that day, was only lost because I had two teammates intentionally throwing. Personally I would like a toggle, so I can remove the extra HUD elements as it clutters my vision, especially when holding certain angles on gens vs stealth killers.

After over 3800 hours, and as someone who primarily plays solo queue, I can firmly say that Killer is not too powerful.
The majority of Killers are far too weak, in fact.

For real. The new HUD buff is already decreasing weak killers kill rates. Behavior needs to get on buffing the weak killers in the roster, or all survivors are going to see is Nurse and Blight.

It is good that they are finally buffing solo queue to near SWF levels, but they needed to buff the weak killers simultaneously. Behavior can''t wait 6 months to a year to get around to buffing the weak killers. If they don't get on top of it before the next chapter, they will see a dip in overall playerbase and decrease in the next chapter sales. If next chapters killer is weak, its going to be a flop, like the Knight.

Huntress and Trickster took a substantial L with this patch. The time to reload and locker locations on a good portion of the maps, take far too long and the additional inefficiency of survivors before this patch is gone. It takes longer to reach a locker then it does for solo queue survivors to coordinate a heal, unless you are right next to a locker when you run out, which is unlikely. Anything less then 7 hatchet on Huntress, just feels bad now.

If you play always for double hits you are essentially throwing. Your goal with the knight is to zone them with your guard and get a hit on them. Played knight two times today on Ormond for both tome challenges and the tactic worked splendid.

You zone and double at same time. If you are just zoning, its a wasted potential.

New Eyrie is a literal buff for survivors. It is only bad survivors who can not loop that are hurt by the changes. Players that came to the game since the Hold W meta are suffering, but those around before, and those that learned to loop, its a straight buff to survivors.

Its both too much info and just the right amount.

Its too much info, with how the game was designed and currently plays. They need to rework the game around this much info being readily available to players . The Devs have never balanced this game for SWF, and buffing solo to levels of SWF in regards to communication, throws the balance of the game off.

The devs did not handle this very well.

in New HUD Icons is too much info Comment by JoeChill261 January 25, 2023

They will eventually have too, but its going to be 6 months to a year to even see small changes. They made a mistake releasing this buff for survivors without simultaneously buffing the weaker killers. You will slowly see only B tier and higher killers being played regularly until they buff the weaker ones. C tier and lower are going to have a 3-5% drop in kill rate just by solos having more free information.

Yeah and the Victor isn't fixed the twins are not fixed by the way the same BS happens where you get stuck you can't lift your head up and then they hit you with a pallet and you can't go anywhere for the rest of the game so you got to quit and lose your points and take a chance getting suspended for a while the twins need to be fixed it's ridiculous

Yep, actually stunned a Twins killer in EGC on the new Eyrie today, and they couldn't move after it.

Watch "VictorsMomSmall" on Streamable.

It finally happened, 15 matches in I finally lost my first survivor solo queue match on the new Eyrie, and it was only due to other survivors not touching a gen nd hiding the entire match.

I want to see some win-rates posted in a month for the map. Its going to be even more survivor favored for the majority of the killer roster. I honestly don't know what the Devs thought process was on releasing this cluster ######### of a mess after having 6 years of feedback on maps, and having released Garden of Joy to mass complaints. This is not the right direction.

New maps and map reworks have been rather bad in the past. The new map that came with Knight for example was yet another crappy map if you ask me.
But with this map rework, the devs actually did a really good job in my opinion. Too early to say how balanced the map is in my opinion, but it's definitely a lot more balanced than the old Eyrie of Crows map. Especially because of it's size reduction and shape change.
If collision is worse, that's a shame. I really wish the collision would improve on maps, but BHVR doesn't seem to be able to do so.

I mean, im 13 solo escapes in a row on Eyrie right now. Its heavily survivor sided. Haven't lost a single survivor match on it.

So their original complaint was that hit boxes are inaccurate to models, and your counter argument is to agree that hit boxes don't match up to the models?
I notice you forgot to mention that hatchets, in particular, have a spherical hit box when connecting with survivors, but have a much smaller 'rectangular' hitbox for avoiding terrain. So you can thread the needle on edges of walls and certain rocks, then hit someone nearly a meter away from their avatar position.
Understanding 'why' the hitbox is janky doesn't make it feel any more fair being in the receiving end of a hatchet that hits you from around a corner on your screen. That's kinda the point.

Player model hitbox, asset hitbox, and projectile hitbox are different things. Player model is vertical and the same size regardless of the survivor. Otherwise the devs would have to code individual hitboxes for every survivor, and smaller survivors would have a competitive advantage. When complaining about collision, it is the asset hitbox not matching a static assets visual.
