She really doesn't take that much, of course it depends on the person but it took me about 2-3 weeks where I could call myself an actual good Nurse.

Depends how good you want to be with her, if you want to be a decent nurse then yeah but if you want to hit that god tier and be able to take down even the best survivors that's about as long as it would take.

Nah dbd is the only game that has ever made me change my privacy settings for receiving messages and I changed it after a week of getting the game lol. Honestly if they did this I would actually hate it and if I wasn't able to turn it off I probably would end up not playing the game because of it.

in i miss the endgame banter, give console players a text box to chat the end of games. Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

If whenever a survivor got camped the rest of the team just did the remaining gens and left leaving the killer with 1 kill and a de pip trust me they would stop using that strategy pretty soon after enough matches like this. However if you instantly give up on hook or if you're waiting for a chance to get the unhook just to get grabbed and slugged then all you are doing is rewarding the killer and making them more likely to continue doing the same thing in other matches as well.

in CAN WE PLEASE FIX HOOK CAMPING Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

Honestly if you want to be really good with nurse it's just practice practice practice nurse is one of the hardest killers to be well with because in order to get near to the god tier level with her you will probably need at least around 1000 hours on her.

Ok then here lets discuss this. Let me describe to you a bad matchmaking experience i had last night, I'm a rank 13 killer for reference, fairly new lots of learning left. This came on the heels of losing a few games, to mostly bad matchmaking so i threw NOED into my build played a couple more games where it didnt even come into play. Edit: just for reference my losing condition is 0 kills.
Then I run into this mess of a game 4 man swf all rank 1 and 2. Match starts i find 3 of them slamming a gen I chase them off and spend the rest of the match in a 3 vs 1 chase, while i never see the 4th person running around doing gens. Every time i get one of them injured they force me to switch off with head on stuns, pallet stuns, even just looking away to dodge a flashlight blind or body blocked in a doorway. 4 gens are done at this point because they've been healing in between switches, 1 of them leaves to slam out the last gen faster. I finally manage to get a down and get the guy on the hook, i take a look aroumd with bbq and see the 2 in the distance seconds before they pop the last gen and the close one coming in for the borrowed time save. The gen pops NOED kicks in and i down the guy coming in for the rescue, look around ive got my totem close by one on the hook one on the ground an exit gate pretty close and an empty hook pretty close. So i rush the exit gate force it open to start endgame collapse and hook the 2nd guy. I got 2 kills in a game where i worked my butt of to get them. Where after i got outplayed all match, i managed to capitalize on a single mistake and turn it around. Look at the builds post game all 3 of the loopers had head on, quick and quiet, adeenaline, and iron will. If it wasnt for NOED they would have gone for the saves came off the hook healthy and all gotten out body blocking for the 1 Injured guy.
The moral of the story is that bad matchmaking for solo q you make a case for NOED to be changed. While bad matchmaking for killer makes a case for it needing to be exactly the way it is.

The start of me commenting on this post was just a suggestion as to ideas as how it could be changed if it was to. Honestly the only time I get annoyed with noed is if I've not gone down all match and I've ended up cleansing 4 totems but still get hit with noed. As much as I think it's annoying feeling like you've only gone down all match because the killer has it I agree it's also an issue with other survivors electing to not cleanse totems as well. After talking it through with another player I actually thought the best idea would be to include a totem counter because not only would it add emphasis on the fact totems are a secondary objective for survivors it will hopefully also make them more likely to try and cleanse them and also help out solo survivors. I think if this was implemented it would work well and I don't feel like any changes would be needed for the perk.

It wasnt free, saviour already paid a health state and he still has to perform the action while the Killer is in his M1 CD so he will be able to attack again very soon since the sprint from being hit is gone and the CD is almost over once the animation finished odds are the chase is going to be very short.
Unsafe hooks where Killer hits before unhooking end up with the saviour hooked in seconds unless the Killer is very bad, very greedy, wants to tunnel the saved or is facing an extremely well coordinated SWF which are super rare.

If you're running in for an unsafe unhook when you have the option to wait and then go in for a safe one then you deserve to be punished for this as it's a terrible play. Also a killer gets a grab animation whenever they attack a survivor during any interaction whether it be doing a gen, opening a door, getting a save etc. This shouldn't be changed for hooked survivors to allow survivors to make bad plays. I'm also saying this as someone who has more hours in survivor than I do killer so even I can see that removing the grab animations on hooks is not only unfair to killers but also promotes survivors not learning how to play better and just allows them to make dumb decisions and be able to get away with it.

Even with the see killer effect it's still be quite alright but yeah it'll clearly prevent double saves which can get annoying.

Agreed, also yeah seeing the killer to would be good I'm just trying to think if maybe there would be a way to still keep the actual perk kindred and maybe even rework it a bit so you only see the killer maybe but you see them from a further distance from the hook maybe.

Well they created SWF. Im sure they knew that people would use Discord or something else to communicate with each other^^
Not that I dislike the idea of playing with friends. But the Devs are responsible for the flaws this system brings.
Cant jump on the "Its not the Devs fault" train here.

The devs have no power over discord, Microsoft or Sony so they can't stop people from using them. But let's say they magically find a way then what's stopping SWF from doing a group call on there phone or using group chat on messenger? what do they do then call the phone companies and Facebook and ask them to find some magical way of being able to tell when one of their users is on dbd somehow and not allow them to call each other? How do you actually expect the devs to do anything about any of this.

A totem counter for survivors would help solos a lot and put more emphasis on them being a second objective, hopefully this could also encourage people to cleanse dull totems instead of ignoring them.

I never suggested that killers should see the difference. On the contrary there is no way if killer is facing SWF or solo till the end game screen. Or not even then. I said to give solo and SWF different lobbies cause of perk placement not the killers they are facing. For killers everything would look same. 4 survivors waiting at the camp fire.

Oh okay then I apologise I thought you meant to separate the lobbies into separate options for the killer to pick. I don't see the issue with seeing which people were in a SWF after the match, I'd like that for when I play both killer and solo survivor.

Free hit is also a punishment for unsafe unhooks.

No I'm sorry but you shouldn't be able to get a free unhook by making a bad play.

in Remove hook grabs. Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

You can have some great games as solo but also some terrible ones. Usually it's just down to teammates doing not doing gens or all crouching near you when your hooked and just doing nothing while the killer camps. However like you do now I also don't worry about escaping and just try and concentrate on pipping so win or lose as long as I've pipped I'm happy.

in Is solo survivor really that bad? Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

I think because most hags play style is like you said they camp the hook with traps. Although I agree it can be a little annoying to go against sometimes I can't blame hag players for using a inbuilt tactic. Besides flashlights and crouching is a thing so it can be countered.

In most cases killer is able to hit unhooker before he will be able to use deadhard.

I mean it works for me. But in all honesty with cases aswell where a killer hooks a survivor and instead of waiting for the killer to leave a survivor runs in and does a unsafe unhook which does happen more often than you'd think that survivor deserves to be punished for making a bad play.

in Remove hook grabs. Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

I mean I respect your opinion but it is coming off a little one sided. It's also able to be countered by tapping the hooked survivor so the killer hits you and then you're able to unhook, dead hard and BT work great as well for countering this. Besides if the killer is hard facecamping and you don't have BT or you don't think you'll be able to do saves just hop on gens and get the gate opened and get out of there and punish them for it. Trust me if every survivor did this and left the killers with only one kill and a depip they would soon stop trying this strategy.

in Remove hook grabs. Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

I do agree it could use a small change to reward good gameplay. However if you are electing to leave totems to have the match end quicker then you're running that risk of that. There needs to be a totem counter so survivors understand that totems are a second objective and also help solos. I do understand the struggle of bringing detectives hunch getting 4 totems and still getting hit with noed so hopefully that would help.

in NOED needs to go Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

If it's nearing the end of the match with two players left and they are both hiding and not progressing the game that is reportable because they are holding the game hostage. However if during the match one of the four survivors wants to just hide then great one less person on gens so I don't have any problem with that lol.

in Abusive hiding needs to be penalized Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

I agree, It happening every now and again I can handle but it happens regularly so it is frustrating. Just today I went against a wraith and hopped a pallet and he swung and hit me after I had got over it and even started running back around the loop. I don't mind getting outplayed and going down but when I go down when it's clear I shouldn't have is really annoying.

in These hitboxes are a joke! Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

I think that there could be some changes to solos in regard to information such as being able to see other survivors when someone is on the hook etc. However as much as I understand that some SWF can be very efficient with gens and saves making it very difficult for most killers to be able to handle, separating them so killers can choose between playing solos or SWF would mean the majority just would only go against solo.

I doubt you carried the whole team. Survivors are a broken record. You all complain about the same stuff then get on the forums and demand NOED be nerfed. Do totems.

How would you know how any match I'm in goes when you're not in them. Beside when someone makes a post about changing noed I have every right to put an opinion as to how it could be changed if it was.

in Why I think NOED should be changed Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

Making kindred base but just without seeing the killer and just seeing all other survivors is a good idea. Having a totem counter is a brilliant idea I've been wanting that for so long and I have no idea why that isn't a thing especially when they say totems is one of the survivors objectives.

I would not consider that a problem, at least not when talking about the Perks you mentioned. I am not running Unbreakable, but I run DS and the games were I am not able to use it are usually good games, even when I die. Because the Killer was not tunneling during those games and it is fun to go against a decent Killer who does not need to tunnel the first person out of the game ASAP.
For Ruin/Undying, I never see that Survivors dont go for Totems, you only have the luxury of ignoring the Totems when the Killer is bad, which means that he cannot force people off Gens, which results in Ruin doing nothing.
@Topic:
Well, regarding the Tombstone, this just highlights the problem if this Add On. You did the best you could to avoid it, the others were happily giving him Stalk.... Great.
Regarding Perks, the Meta Perks are usually what is expected. Like, I am surprised if a Deathslinger does not have M&A. But I think at least on the stronger Killers, you dont need Meta-Perks. And I also think that no Killer needs to stack more than 1 Slowdown-Perk.
And that you can win without Meta-Perks, good players like Otz are showing that. But it is nice if people actually acknowledge it when the other side plays well, always happy to see that.

I agree if I'm playing survivor and being ds it's the only perk I ever bring that I'm happy if I don't have to use it. But that's my point it's considered a meta perk but yet in some matches the only thing it does is take up a perk slot.

in When Red Ranks tell you they're surprised at you... Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

You do get points for recovering already. But it's a valid point that it is pretty boring to be slugged for the 4man but whether it happens or not either depends on what kind of match the killers had or how many hours they have in killer. If I'm playing killer and I've had a really sweaty match or I know the last persons toxic then I'll slug and go for the 4K but otherwise I just don't really care about the 4K anymore tbh I'll just hook the third and then do a 50/50 for who gets hatch or doors if I shut it. A 3K and a hatch escape is still a win, besides I'd rather move on to the next game and have some fun instead of dragging it out for a few more bloodpoints.

in Change for slug? Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

The problem with meta perks is a lot of them can be subjective as to if you get any use of them or not. Like if a survivor brings ds unbreakable but they go against a decent killer who's winning and doesn't have the need to tunnel then they don't get use out of ds and don't get slugged so no unbreakable either. Same for ruin undying or other hexes some matches survivors just don't go for totems and others they get them all.

in When Red Ranks tell you they're surprised at you... Comment by Kirkylad January 25, 2021

I agree with you, however some killers can be toxic and do the same amount of complaining about things on the survivor side aswell. There's also a lot of us that aren't toxic and understand there's broken stuff on both sides that could be changed. Both sides are pretty much 50/50 between people who only play their side and complain about the other side and don't care about them and then there's people who play both sides and just laugh at some of the things they complain about and understand the difference between a valid complaint and just complaining because they don't understand how the other side works.

developers could fix this preventing premade or disable voice chat between survivors. There are a lot of ways to solve this problem but they prefere dont act

It would be impossible for the developers to stop anyone from using third party systems to talk to the people they are playing with. Plus you can't just stop people from playing with there friends because some teams play efficiently, a lot of them also just meme around and just want to have fun and don't care if they win or lose.

in That’s why this game is trash Comment by Kirkylad January 24, 2021

Sometimes you get matches like this that are really difficult, sometimes you get put against a bunch of average or less solos and it's super easy, on some rare occasions you get a match against people of equal skill and have a close match.

I have to disagree, he does well on ANY map because of the TP ability. All he needs is discordance, BBQ, tinkerer or some perk that notifies you on which gen you're at and BOOM; he's there. Almost any killer does well on an indoors map but he excells in all of them, outdoors or indoors; like, just yesterday I DC'D from a match with Freddy because I was just frickin toxic and that map was Lampkin.
Prior to that I got into another match on cross pentus, that was another match I Dc'd from because he was camping the hell out of me and then when I matched to get off the hook, slugged me; got another got another survivor; we got both put on the hook; got down and I got tunneled. I then got a 15 minute DC penalty which I just waited out by watching YT. he's flipping ridiculous.

I understand your point and I agree that with certain gen perks and his ability to go straight to that gen can be oppressive. But I think In terms of just in normal chase with a survivor he still has to have some game knowledge to know how and where to chase survivors etc. A brand new player isn't going to win if they just use Freddy, however I completely agree that an average player can pick up Freddy and get wins a lot easier than with most other killers.

in Freddy is too easy to play; remove or nerf him. Comment by Kirkylad January 24, 2021

in Freddy is too easy to play; remove or nerf him. Comment by Kirkylad January 24, 2021

I like a challenge so I don't want to go against easy killers and have a quick match and hardly get to do anything, but I also don't want to get steam rolled by an overpowered killer and have the same issue. I honestly would just like to go into every match and regardless of which killer/map etc be able to feel like there is a 50/50 chance whether I win or lose. If the killer is a really good player and wins great, if the survivors play really well and win that's great to, as long as neither side feels like there gunna win or lose before the match has even started

in Survivors only want weak killers in the game Comment by Kirkylad January 24, 2021

I really struggled with most killers when I first started out with the game until I got the clown and I started being able to catch survivors and do well. I know he is deemed one of the weaker killers and he will only get you so far unless you want to put a lot of time into him, however I think he is a really great killer for newer players to learn the basics and then move onto a more complex killer.

Fair point, and if you felt like I was challenging your right to have your say, you have my apology. I do think NOED is fine as it is, but only because I think Survivors should be able to learn, slow but sure, what is in their own best interest and make choices. I think agency is important for Survivors and Killers. The compromise I suggest is a good one, but it removes agency to a large degree. It makes it absolutely clear that they better do the Totems, i.e. it isn't a choice or a gamble, it is almost a necessity and punishes those who are lazy extra.
If NOED were to be changed, I'd suggest this because I think the Perk (and those like it) serve an important purpose, i.e. to get people to work on Bones as an objective. But overall, I think it would be better that Survivors just learn over time that it is in their own best interest to do them without being so heavy handed. In general, most Survivors do learn this lesson, and your teammates do get better. I rarely find NOED bites me anymore when I play Survivor because even if enough Totems survive to the end, someone kills the lit one. I think that is a good testament to trusting Players to learn on their own.

I agree. It can be frustrating when your team mates can abandon the second objective of not cleansing totems. You are right that they should learn to not walk past a dull totem and even if they don't have a map or perk to help them should learn where the totem spawns are and just have a quick check of that area if they go there during the match and cleanse one if they find it in that spot. A lot of the time if I bring a map or perk for totems it's when a new map comes out or they change an old one so I can familiarise myself with the spawns and then just check those areas in future matches.
