Well I try to limit Tunneling/Camping/Slugging or anything that isn't fun to the survivors as I play Survivor too and I know how unfun those strats are.

At high MMR, you don't proxy camp first hook and tunnel = loosing. It's as simple as that.

Game designers' fault, don't be ashamed of it, they push you to play like this, the game being a total mess balance wise.

in How to have fun when the Survivors are these experienced every Game? Comment by JohnWeak October 8, 2021

In other predictable news, rain is wet.
Nah but seriously. We killer players know. Which is why when i play surv i dont get mad at it. I get more mad at my teammates teabagging instead of doing gens.

😂

It's sad that one survivor has to be punished for the killer to win.

A good design would imply fun for all players in a trial, it means that everyone does 20k points minimum and has time to enjoy the trial before dying or being reckt. Fact is now it's impossible and i really hate the fact that i have to ruin someone's game to win mine...

To achieve a 12 hooks win at high MMR, maps must have a max size of 8k square feet and way less pallets/windows OR ruin should be a generator built in feature (but with like 150% regression speed) to slow down gens and give a chance to the killer to patrol/chase properly.

Ruin/undying are not effective as they are as competent survivors are finding them way too fast.

Pop is also not strong enough against organized team as they will work on many gens simultaneously and you can pop only one gen.

The main problem is the speed at which the survivors can finish their objective in opposition to how long are the chases.

Chases are a big part of the fun in DbD with the mindgame involved so making them ending faster is not ideal.

Ruin has to be built in generators or should not be a hex perk, just a normal, non cleansable perk.

With regards to the questions that were answered on the QA Stream - we clearly state on the pinnned post in that category, that we will take the most upvoted question and that we probably can't answer questions about upcoming things. The same was done on our Social Media as we also took questions from there, and again used the ones that were most liked.
We've previously done this differently and taken more general questions that we'd be able to answer, and of course had the same outcry of "we cherry picked the questions" - so by taking the most upvoted questions, we're attempting to answer the questions that we're being asked the most as clearly those are the ones that the Community would like answered, however, some things we're not going to be able to talk about.

I think, and i guess that most of us are the same mind, that there are way more urgent subjects about DbD right now and that the community deserve a clear roadmap on the below subjects :

When will a deep work be done around balancing ?
When can we expect a game design that favors playing instead of camping and tunneling ?
When will we get a strong work to improve performances ?
Does the dev team is aware of the unfun state of the game ?
What does the team development think about the current state of the game at high MMR (i.e killers can't win a single trial if they play fair) ?
When can we expect real changes ?

That's the answers the community needs and that's the subjects that deserve a 2h stream with some streamers invited, Truetalent and Otz for exemple...

The game needs to improve greatly and to go forward, it's not been the case the last years... The community won't follow DbD forever and BHVR takes way to much time to bring changes.

I can't believe they took time to answer questions about pointless stuff like how they choose characters for the tomes and will we get shirtless Felix.

Those are the only questions they are able to answer as they have no clue of how to answer the real questions.

When you want to avoid a sensible subject, just choose another random easy subject to divert attention.

If you check the stream chat history on Twitch, it's funny, 99% of the comments are negative, most of them are sarcastic about how trash everything is atm in DbD : Balance, SBMM, Win condition, the speakers... I have rarely seen such a negative vibe on any stream tbh...

And they are smiling the whole time as if nothing was happening... they are so delusional.

Some exemples 🤣:

"Do you even play your game ?"
"it's so pathetic you guys are killing your own game NO ONE ASKED FOR SBMM YOU MAKE A GAME FOR THE PEOPLE AND NO ONE WANTS IT"
"Its not Q&A its just like statements of prosecuted one to make excuses"
"Who even IS this guy? What a joke"
"This is the most depressing DBD dev interview I've ever seen. Hope they do consider the feedback at some point and reconsider this apporach."
"imagine working on a mmr system for months with the condition you escape = win, you dont escape = lose KEKW"
"This game is going downhill so quickly"

And it goes on and on and on for 2 hours.

Note: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so please be civil and understanding. Also, while I would like this post to be taken seriously, don't take it seriously to the point where you are borderline harassing someone.
From what I saw in the Q&A, a lot of people ask the same questions, such as "How will you punish camping and tunneling", "what side do you play most", and "is this game supposed to be (blank) sided", and while you are entitled to your questions and opinions, it can brings down the merit of all of our questions, which really sucks because a lot of other questions are really interesting and cool, such as turning old skins into cosmetics, other licensed tomes, etc. I get it, though, no one likes to get tunneled, camped, dedicated, or have their fun ruined because of another player's rude action. Just please remember the impact that your words have. And, as always, feedback and information is highly appreciated.

Questions asked are a result of the current state of the game which is garbage, totally garbage. Haven't get such an awful experience in a game for years.

As a killer, i feel forced to proxi camp and tunnel to win the trial and i hate it.

As a survivor, is see every killer prox camping and tunneling to try to win the trial, the first down survivor having a terrible experience and dying with 5k points.

ATM the game is not fun at all, every one agree on this, even streamers are leaving the boat, they all have enough. Go check some huge DbD streamers, look at their face and tell me if you see enjoyment when they play... They are depressed and they don't have fun, it's obvious.

BHVR has been warned for years by the whole community.

Balance, camp, tunnel and SWF threads have been made for years, the devs have never adressed these issues, no wonder why the whole community is pissed about it now.

I guess we are at a no return point, BHVR won't be able to fix the global game problems (game design, balance and toxicity) fast enough to save DbD.

The playerbase will continue to decrease everyday as it is the case for some weeks now.

in Most of the questions for the Q&A are the same, and that ain't a good thing Comment by JohnWeak October 8, 2021

Upping this thread but the playerbase continue to decrease, everyday more and more.

Last 3 months, the drop is noticeable and it's even worst the last few days.

And honestly, with the experience i have had as a killer and survivor, i'm about to stop aswell, it's unbearable.

As a survivor, killers camp and tunnel the first down to get a fast kill and be sure to have a chance to win the trial, if they don't do this, it's 4 hooks, 5 gens done, 3 escapes minimum.
As a killer, i prefer to play fair without tunneling o proxy camp and yes, 4 to 6 hooks, all gens done, doors opened.

It's impossible to play properly on both sides as the game design favors bad gameplay. Aswell, i have looked many fog whisperer streams... and they all promote a toxic way of playing, on both sides. Between the survivor main trolls and the killer mains that proxi camp and tunnel, you can be sure that most of the community will adopt exactly the same "strategy".

Is it healthy for the game ? No, proof is the constant players leaving. For those who don't see it, we went down from 90k peaks to under 50k. And it will continue to drop.

Last time the game was under 50k players peak was in February 2020....

Not mentioning that the game was in the top 10 on steamcharts, it is now #20...

As for Twitch viewers, it went from a peak viewers of 100k to a peak viewers of 50k. Everyone is leaving the sinking ship as the fun is totally gone.

They're just playing the game. You're a toxic person if you think you can get what you want by shaming other people.

They are playing the game denying all the survivors to enjoy it, playing to gen rush only is not playing and playing with camping is not playing aswell.

But you are right, continue to defend this crap behavior, game is loosing players, can't wait to see it going down even more thanks to you guys :)
