Exactly how does a survivor work with the killer, then? Nobody has answered that without saying exactly that 'they lead the killer to the other survivors'... What's the difference? If a survivor running bond gets chased and leads the killer directly to another survivor over and over again, how is that not the very specific thing? What exactly is the very specific thing because not even you said what it was.
At the moment the number of people that are playing this outrageous way is so much, that many of us don't want to play survivor at all. It is the wrong move to support these bad actions and could you please bring that up with the team. We have to deal with hackers and gamebreaking bugs every other match, we shouldn't also have to fight our teammates.
Working with the killer is where survivors and killer conspire to get another survivor killed, where the killer actively won't attack the survivor they are working with.
A survivor running Bond and running the killer to other team mates in an attempt to save themselves is not reportable and can be part of the game, the choice in the game is to be solo after all as a survivor and you do not have to help your team if you wish.

Are killers going to get any additional game information as compensation? Or is this going to be exactly like SWF voice communication, where survivors get extra benefits, and killers get zero compensation and just have to deal with it?
Can killers see the action icons too, so they can know how many survivors are doing generators?
no the killer does not see the icons, they are for the other survivors to view.
Rest assured, we will be monitoring how this affects the game.

Anyone else notice how the obsession marker is different on Adam and is slightly there on Jeff? Does this mean some sort of half-obsession mechanic is coming? Also also, the fact that the player seems to be playing with bots maybe indicates that killer bots are coming soon too. @Mandy I am on to something here with both of these ideas or am i misleading myself 😆
the smaller obsession marker shows who is in chase - it's similar to the way the claws move around the obsession when they are being chased, just smaller version.

But as was said....the killer is preventing the survivor from playing the game normally for their part. It's a double edged sword...killer mains don't see it, but survivors mains do. Killer is doing his job but preventing survivor from doing theirs. Just fact, no bias as I main both. And to prove the point, a killer doesn't even need a kill to get max points, which is the ONLY goal of DBD. There are no other end game goals...that's also a fact.
no, as the survivor is dying on a hook - this is part of normal gameplay for survivors to die. This is why it's not against the game rules and not a hostage situation - the game is progressing.

THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH FOR POSTING THIS UPDATE!!!!!! I'm sorry for the Karen post, I've been so frustrated with solo queue lately and had given up hope for the UI changes they talked about way back.
This is absolutely fantastic news mandy, thank you thank you thank you thank you!!
SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!!!
I love your excitement! It's what I've been feeling, I've been so excited to share this information with our players - I know how frustrating solo queue can be for some, I play the game a lot too...it's a feature that I genuinely love!
I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU ALL TO TRY IT!!
Yes, I'm gonna shout it and nobody can stop me LOL.

SWF destroys the balance of the game. You can easily see that in tournaments that survivors, no matter how good the killer is (even with nurse and meta perks), that SWF always win.
Ban SWF. It was never intented for the game to be a 4 man group and coordinated party to dominate for so long.
It is most definitely intended that people can play with their friends, has been since the concept of the game.

If you were not in chase, and within in his terror radius, you should have been receiving tokens for Distortion...if you think you met those conditions but still didn't gain tokens, then please make a bug report on this, thank you.

might wanna actually think about how that information helps people who play a team game in match. maybe you dont play with altruism or comradery in mind and thats why you see no benefit. to everyone else it is one.
I think the proposed changes which are shown in the tweet are a direct buff to solo survivors, and definitely a healthy quality of life change. Seeing what actions your team mates are doing, is definitely bringing solo survivors more in line with SWF groups.

But their hostage taking rules by definition include facecamping but that is allowed and favored, so can't go by bHVR's so called rules lol
No as even when you're being camped your game is progressing as the survivor is dying.

This is already how games play out when I'm on the hook and running Kindred.
This just means Kindred will be less essential. Which is great, but it's not going to fix solo queue.
Also, sad to say I missed this as I'm not on Twitter. @Mandy is there any chance of getting the Twitter feed on the side of the forum again like we used to? That's how I used to get all my first-hand BHVR news!

Was about to create a thread as well.
yay, finally!
i guess Jeff has the being chased indicator for non-obsessions?
yes the little claws signify chase, so it's similar to the Obsession and the way the claws interact when the Obsession is being chased, they're just smaller.

I am so glad you created the thread, and so fast as well!

Going to clear one thing up here, this is not a hostage situation - this is more of a standoff, either party could end this. A hostage situation is where one player can do nothing to prevent the game from progressing.

Oh it 100% is reportable to work with the killer. It isn't just a douche move it is cheating and will get you banned. You don't know what you are talking about.
Working with the killer is a very specific thing, they have to be working together for it to be reportable.
A survivor running Bond where the killer is not actively working with them, but that survivor running the killer to another survivor to save themselves is not reportable - this is where the team game becomes less of a team game and more of an individual move.
-
The answer to both is no I'm afraid. There is no further updates with regards to cross progression...only platforms where there is cross progression are Steam, Stadia & Epic Store.
Steam Deck is something that we announced that we would support some time back, as of yet we are not supporting this platform. I do suggest keeping an eye on our socials/patch notes etc as we will announce this when we're able to.

Yeah but their asking for a change to the core gameplay and that would be a nerf to all killers that's all I'm saying
It wouldn't be a nerf to killers if after a specific length of time, the survivor could phase through the killer though. We're not talking seconds here, which is what happens in a regular game.

But yet he provided no evidence,no video proof or even photo
Because the forum is not the place to provide evidence of breaking game rules - that would go to Support.
We are discussing the OP's post - where they clearly state that they were held hostage in the game, and that's what we're saying is a reportable and in fact bannable offence.
-
@DashMonsta008XV said:
Survivors asking for another nerf, no surprise there.
This would not be a nerf!
Body Blocking in this context is holding the game hostage as clearly described in the OP's post - this is against game rules.
A Survivor body blocking a killer is not against game rules, as the killer can do something about the situation (hit the survivor for example) and is part of the game. Preventing someone from playing the game clearly is against the game rules!

@BlueHorkew said:
Wait i am confused is the aura reveal area suppose to follow the killer or be centered on the gen that you kicked?
I am really confused after the new patch notes
This one is a confusing one!
The notification area is supposed to be around the killer, not the kicked generator. But it's not currently working like that - it's currently centred on the generator.

There is no plans to bring back the downvote button at all, it was heavily abused the last time and made things difficult for the moderation team - it was used in such an abusive way to single out individuals that it definitely won't be returning.

As you're aware the Finisher Mori was only in the testing phase in the recent PTB for the purpose of getting feedback on it. Once designers are happy with whatever adjustments will be made to it, there's likely to be another PTB to test further. We have not said it's been scrapped no.
-
I'll try to clear up a few misconceptions here...MMR has nothing to do with spawn points, it just does not work that way.
Also, making survivors spawn all together - as a survivor that would be a nerf, it's a lot more beneficial for survivors to spawn individually around the map to start putting pressure on gens, which is why experienced survivors will often leave the area if someone uses a Shroud where everyone spawns together.
Not having auras for 10 minutes is pretty much all of the match time, that's very extreme!
If you're concerned about Lethal Persuer at all, then you do have perks that can counter it as a Survivor - Distortion for example, and you can normally get to an area with loopable spots prior to getting found by the killer.
I actually think it's quite a healthy perk myself, and I would much rather play against Killers who are running chase/information perks rather than than 4 slowdown perks, it makes the game much more fun to my mind.

The "Recent Discussions" tab only shows ten threads, significantly fewer than the old forum used to display.
It would be great if you could bump that up to 20 or more, for ease of browsing.
Unfortunately I do not have the control over that, it's in-built into the system, so you have to use the more button underneath to the left to see other recent discussions. Only 10 per page I'm afraid.

"The system can’t tell between a rage quit or bad internet."
That's really pathetic....
not really, it's so easy to manipulate your own internet connection - which is why the system covers it all under the same thing.

Wiggle escaping is not meant to be easy. The mechanic is there, so that the survivor has a chance to wiggle off, but not a guaranteed wiggle off - there's perks that can help and also team work, if someone sabo's a hook, runs Breakout etc. But as a stand alone mechanic, it's meant so that the killer cannot get someone to the basement every single hook and has to think about where to hook the survivor.

Just want to say thanks for being so quick on making changes based on feedback. 😁
I'm glad to see the dev/community manager/mod badges showing that they've commented on a post. Is there a way to make it so if you click on it you get brought to the first comment they made in a post like on the old forum? Right now if I click on the community manager badge on this post instead of it bringing me to your first comment it brings me to a search page showing all posts made by community managers on the forums.
Also is there a way to change the color of the dev/community manager/mod badge so it sticks out a bit if you're scrolling through a post to find the comments made instead of relying on profile pic? It was easy before to scroll through the comments on a post to find additional comments made by dev/community manager/mod when there was random red badge catching my eye. Currently the badge blends in with the rest of the text in a post.
Yes this is definitely something I want to add, and it's high on my priority list for next week, as it's something that needs to stand out. Just need to work with the CSS to make these changes

I can't drink energy drinks, they give me a really bad stomach after a couple...I can however, drink a vodka red bull, but this seems to be the exception.
I'm drinking a nicely brewed coffee currently, it's cold outside and I'm all snuggled up with a steaming mug of coffee - pretty perfect actually...ohhh and I was directed to try 10% coffee milk, I have no idea if it's actual milk or creamer, we never had this in the UK, but I've found it here in Montreal and it's so smooth in coffee! loving it.

I kind of hate the new forum. It's a tad harder to navigate, the "new" icons on posts are black on a VERY dark grey background instead of the old bright red, the side bar for moving to "my discussions" and whatever else (it's gone so idk) is now not as prevalent (something similar is in the categories page). Hopefully they roll it back or make the actual layout nearly identical to the old one with it just being a visual update instead of a UI nightmare.
Agree, the black on black is really hard to see, it's on my notes to find a change for that next week.
Unfortunately there's thing that had to change on the UI as we've updated to a supported theme with the hosting company...there are changes we can make, I might need a CSS wizard to help me to do somethings as that's slightly beyond my expertise lol.

Thanks for fixing the edit function @Mandy ! You're winning me back. XD
My remaining gripes are:
- Notifications not working on mobile, or not visible enough (and I somehow clear them without seeing them)
- Font too big (could there be options personalise font size? I can ctrl - but that just zooms out everything)
- Personal but, change all the green back to red pls? :P
yeah I'm not sold on the green myself either.
I have to work with DbD Brand Colours - so I am limited to what colours we can use. Problem with Red is that it's really hard for our colourblind folks to see anything as red on a dark background doesn't shop for them, which is why I'm trying to make things more accessibile. We'll definitely sort something out about that though.
Font being too big - that I might be able to change next week. I'm not sure about the names though - the names on posts look too small?
I'm not sure how much I can change with regards to the notifications on Mobile, this theme (it's a new theme, that's fully supported with updates etc, whereas the previous one was out of date and every update things would break, hence the change!)...It's definitely things I can bring up as requests to the hosting provider for sure though.
Ohhh I would love an actual mobile app - that would solve everything related to mobile (and yes I have requested that!)
