Its not *AIM ASSIST* its Animation Enhancement
But yeah it sucks so much
IT'S THOUSAND ISLAND AIM DRESSING, JEEZ.
-
Let's all be honest here, and not even the devs can deny it, they do contradict a lot of what they say. A lot of the time.
"There's no aim assist/auto aim, it's just an aim dressing to make hits look good, it doesn't give you free hits or mess with your hits". 5 minutes later "Oh well, if accidentally hit an object when swinging at a survivor, that's the aim dressing making that happen".
Or this gem from Almo:
"New Ruin is insidious". Literally gives a notification that it exists...that stays there until it's destroyed. Is somehow insidious.
And they wonder why they are given so much hate.
@Peanits What are your thoughts on contradictions like these coming from your team?
-
If they have a key. Yes, they will die a quick death.
-
BHVR won't ban you for it, and EAC has said they only ban if it gives an unfair advantage. So no, you won't get banned. Even if it is at your own risk.

They still provide a good debuff on gens. Just because they got nerfed we can't say it's "forever freddy" anymore? Oh pls, give me a break.
It's not "forever" anymore. That's like saying forever mending Legion still exists. It's nonsense.

I just wish they’d remove his bag add-ons and make them a part of his base kit. He really does waste a lot of time looking for traps and picking them up.
This. There's no reason he shouldn't start with 3 traps and be able to carry 5 max.

Before fixing:
- poorly designed maps (farm maps are disgusting)
- insane gen speed with expirienced players
- weak killers (clown, Legion, Bubba)
- Survivors second chances
- awful matchmaking (urban evasion blendettes in red ranks also)
- bugs (DH triggered Exhaustion and it didn't work for instance)
- get tunneled/camped and you didn't use meta perks
Introducing dc punishments makes no sence when they game is so imperfect.
Tunneling/camping isn't a problem. It's a legitimate playstyle.
-
Tunneling.

DBD would never get the rights to a Marvel IP.
They're not nearly big enough for that.

Ok? I play both sides, i dont find him to be anything special. Most killers are somewhat balance but it the position they are put in that decides if they will shine of fail
My point was, most survivor mains will tell you they play both sides. I meant it facetiously, and wasn't serious. As in, they don't.
You might, and that's cool, but here a lot of survivor mains say they do just to try and justify their half-cocked ideas to nerf already balanced killers.

Finally. Pinhead. Can't wait.

Does a high purple P3, who slaughtered all of us before we got 2 generators done, without slugging, camping or tunnelling count? Oh, high purple shortly after rank-reset. And on console.
Console meta is pretty different when it comes to killer choice. Hillbilly tends to plague the game like Nurse has on PC. Since the Ruin rework and matchmaking kerfuffle, I've found that there is a much greater variety in the killers used.
No, you went against a decent Nurse. You haven't gone against a truly good Nurse if you are having trouble with Billy vs her.

Apparently you haven't fought a good nurse until she's won before the match even started.
No, you haven't faced a good Nurse if you think Billy is harder to counter than a good Nurse.
Nice try with the whole ignoring of context game. Your attempts to be edgy and witty have failed, literally every time.

I have, but that was before I learnt how to bait her blinks.
No, really, you haven't faced an actual good Nurse. You may think you have, but you haven't. Especially if you have trouble vs. Billy over her.
Under no circumstances have you faced a good Nurse.

I have decent game knowledge, and I find Nurse WAY easier to counter than Hillbilly.
EDIT: not saying it's not possible, just a bit harder than other killers, and you need a lot more practice, but varies from person to person.
You haven't faced a good Nurse.

No. I didn't bait anyone. If people have interpreted it that way then it's a "them" problem.
Really?
It was a simple and catchy title.
Clickbait is still a form of bait. Plus, you literally said a few posts ago that this thread wasn't to make light of a hillbilly problem and more to make light of a problem with other killers.
Definitely smells like bait.

I stated that. It was a simple and catchy title. I also planned for this to become a full series. If it was any other killer, the title would have been the same anyway.
It's not my fault that people don't want to read an article if the title is considered "clickbait" by them.
So it was bait. You baited people...and now you're upset with the reaction you had to of known you were going to get? aka 90% negative and satirical, because the title basically halted any chance you had of being taken seriously.

Oh please not the “vAlId StRaTeGy” line again.
It’s a lazy way to play used by bad players.
That's ironic coming from a guy who thinks Hillbilly is overpowered, NOED is overpowered, but DS is "balanced". Be nice, don't attack other peoples skill levels.

Because now he is punished as DC'ing when the game crashes. Pretty much explains it in his post.
You weren't losing bloodpoints and pips before? The only reason someone wouldn't complain about that (and many did), would be if they were self inflicted disconnects.
So, stop DCing. No, you can't cuck the killer of his hook/sacrifice points anymore and get away with it.
KEK to the W, man.

This thread has NOTHING to do with survivor skill! This has NOTHING to do with perks!
This has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING that you have ever mentioned on here!
I have stated time and time again that IF Billy is to be the centre of balance, then more than half the killers in the game need major buffs. Stop twisting my words and going off topic, or find some actual survivor bait to harass.
No offense, but you did this to yourself when you named the thread "The Hillbilly Problem". Hillbilly isn't a problem. Other killers lack of potential to murderize people is the problem.

You don't need to play perfect against a Billy. Just smart. It's simple, don't greed pallets, and don't position yourself in dead zones consistently and you'll be fine.
To add on to this - survivors do NOT have to play perfectly against ANY killer in ANY situation. SURVIVORS have the easiest position in the game. Period.
Survivors can make mistake after mistake after yet more mistakes, and STILL recover and escape. Killer has a limit to how many mistakes they can make, and even more, they may not even be able to recover from say...going into the wrong door during a chase. @ClickyClicky Do NOT talk about mistakes vs. perfect gameplay. You're crippling your own argument.

The entire point of the videos were missed. They were to show what they do. It's like Clown. Do you need 5000 hours to throw a pallet early to counter his power? No. It's the same with Billy. The videos showed what you do verse him. You don't need 1000's of hours to learn distances, and when or when not to throw pallets. Also, Ardetha isn't that great of a survivor.
Now you can knock off your downright logical viewpoint right now. You're not allowed to make sense.
🤣
-
Just don't DC.
I won't deny the game has it's issues, and sometimes it crashes. But if the game is crashing "regularly" enough for it to be an issue for you, try looking at your system configuration, cause myself and many others aren't having that wide of an issue.

He's playable in all ranks now. And is WAY better than his original itteration.
No, he's mildly better. His power level is similar to what it was, it just makes more sense in practice than it did before.

How do you know they are average?
You want the same thing done to billy as was done to nurse don't you?
That's actually exactly what they want. They literally want long cooldowns.

You know who was balanced around brown ranks?
Doctor.
Look at him now. One of thr better killers in the game. Survivor bias indeed.
He moved from lower B tier to upper B tier. That's about it.

I too enjoy nitpicking phrases instead of just knowing what he meant and leaving it at that.
I mean, if you don't want people pointing these things out, perhaps you should assist in making sure people are educated instead of enabling the attitude of where things need to be nerfed even further.
No, you're not edgy.

But not because that Hillbilly is skilled. A pro in any sport will make the game look easy when viewed from the sidelines.
This mentality is why killers are being balanced around brown ranks. Nerfing viable killers, even their good addons, so they are incapable of dealing with genrush teams.
This. All of this.
-
Forever Freddy doesn't exist anymore. The addons in question were nerfed.

@PigMainClaudette said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1088154#Comment_1088154
Well, you would think that a lower skill floor would mean less power, or WAY more hidden power. Hillbilly places his chainsaw on the desk and goes "I can do this, this and this." Not telling you about flicks, which I can't do on console with my sensitivity anyway.
If Billy is to remain where he is, WHICH I'M FINE WITH FOR ANY MORE COMPLAINERS, then half the roster need major buffs. Which I want. I want killers to be scary again. Just make their strengths super strong and their wealnesses crippling. Just not old Freddy or Clown level cripple though.
I played one game of Huntress when I was new to the game in an Customs match and it didn't end well. Her aiming is hard. Should practice her on the smurf.
NOW you're on to something that makes sense. MOST killers need Buffs (clown and bubba most of all). Doctor just got a really good one, and he's in a perfect spot right now.
Billy, as others have said, in terms of potential power, is where ALL killers should be. He has a strong side, but his weaknesses are crippling. If you run into a loop and are even half decent at working the loop, even if it's just running around a rock or a tree...Billy may as well be Wraith, or Clown at that point. His chainsaw is now useless.
If people weren't forced to face Billy's so damn always (and Freddy's) because they are really the only 2 killers with the ability to apply a strong amount of pressure, there'd be a lot less complaining. So yes, the solution is to buff killers.

@PigMainClaudette said:

It wasn't specifically no skill, unlike NoED or straight insta-saw, but it was specifically COMPARED TO Nurse and Spirit. Even Huntress.
Demogorgon takes WAY more skill than Hillbilly but gets less reward.
This is a problem to me and what I tried to highlight.
NOED is situational, and only exists if survivors allow to. So that argument is invalid. Insta saw hasn't existed since they reworked tinkerer nearly 2 years ago. You can get a fast saw, but instasaw is non existent. Even WITH the fast charge addons, if you're at a loop, you can easily force a Billy to M1. If you're caught out in the open, which is your own fault, you're screwed whether he has those addons or not. Another irrelevant argument.
Even if he was easier to learn, which he isn't (and it's proven by the fact that most Billy players are potatoes, even at red ranks), there is NOTHING wrong with some killers having a lower skill floor than others. Also - Huntress is way easier to use than Billy. Take it from me. All you have to do is have played a shooter with bullet drop and prediction in your life, and boom. Huntress is a cakewalk to learn.
Look at this thread alone. When 90% of the community at large not only disagrees, but refutes completely what you are saying, perhaps the issue isn't everyone else. Perhaps it's just you who needs to brush up and get better at playing survivor. I for one love facing a Billy, because I know that when I do, I will be able to deny him his power. 100% of the time.
There, there's your contribution. Now tell me more how he doesn't (when he totally does) have a cooldown. 👌

@PigMainClaudette said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1088107#Comment_1088107
I never said he was OP.
I said he doesn't take as much skill to match Nurse or Spirit and is too easy to pick up and do well with.
I'm over this thread now. Contribute or leave. This goes for everyone.
Not specifically you. But there's a lot of it in this thread. I fully acknowledge you didn't say he was OP.
I disagree with him not taking skill. If they were the case, a rank 20 would be 4king every match with him. Hell, I face rank 1 Billy's who get looped to oblivion. On Coldwind maps, where they have an advantage. Since rank 20s aren't doing well with him, and Billy's win rate is not consistent, and he can be looped on the most open maps in the game....well, your entire rhetoric can be represented by tinky winky down below:
A rank 20 Billy is only doing well against other brown/yellow rank survivors. Period. A red rank Billy is getting looped and bullied as much as any other killer. If you want to talk about contributing, let's talk about the fact that you've been told he has a cooldown, and you refuse to acknowledge it as a cooldown, because it happens during an animation. Even though MANY killers have a cooldown animation. You just refuse to call it a cooldown because it destroys your entire argument. THAT'S what I call not contributing. Disregarding things that go against your view.
-
aahaha, Hillbilly OP 🤣
Every time I read it, it's just hilarious. You can tell a survivors skill by what killers they think are OP. Or that they think any are OP at all xD

Had what? My question was what do Survivors view as harassment directed at them from a killer as.
(edited my post)
-
Survivors had that back in the day. They abused it.
A killer can't really harass a survivor (and vice versa). They can't join their games on command. It's all RNG. In game they can kill them off quickly, but last time I checked, it's only bannable if you can prove it's targeted harassment. Issue with proving it is nearly impossible simply because people get matched against the same people all the time.
-
@Peanits said:
I wouldn't really want to see that, personally. I definitely get the idea behind it, but you would effectively be punishing the survivors for doing well, which isn't something I think should happen.
I mean, killers get punished for doing well. If I 4k and kill all the survivors too fast, I barely even black pip. What's your point?

@ClickyClicky said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1087641#Comment_1087641
Because our culture is based on innocent until proven guilty? yet with this game it's guilty with no chance of being proven innocent.
I like that petty little argument you made about Hillbilly. Still sore again? why do you take it personal? it was a internet forum argument ffs let it go.
Less than 24 hours and people are already getting timeouts due to gamebreaking bugs (rare I admit) or server issues (not so rare).
5 minutes for a 1st time is just ridiculous given all the issues in the game. We know they will never be fixed though that's why they won't wait. Some problems have been in the game for years with no end in sight.
Can't wait until there's another major bug on the next update. Will be interesting to see people change their mind about these penalties when it affects them personally.
It's a video game. Not a murder investigation. You are taking this way too seriously.

@ClickyClicky said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1087630#Comment_1087630
Umm some of us have been saying the penalty system is flawed, due to situations like this. Everyone else is saying it's fine suck it up.
Nobody is denying that it's flawed. They are simply saying that it's a necessary evil at the moment. Which it is. But please proceed to manufacture things to make people seem unreasonable. I feel like you're just annoyed that you can't DC against Hillbilly anymore. That's all I can think of. Since these things aren't that common, so I can't think of a reason you'd be so against penalizing DC's.
-
@ClickyClicky said:
Probably the dedicated servers. Sometimes it kicks you but it shows others as disconnecting.
Oh well you obviously deserved your 5 minute time out. That's what I've learned from reading the forums.
Nobody has said that to you regarding DC penalties. Ever.
If you're going to be upset about something, that's cool, but don't manufacture responses you've never received.

It's not so much the devs not playing their game. It's them not knowing their own game, and that can't be denied.

Yeah people who experience a gamebreaking bug, have to quit otherwise the game literally wont end, and then they’re unhappy they get a timeout for it....THOSE are the entitled players
Never work in customer service my friend.
To be fair, while these things do happen, the frequency of them happening is being grossly over exaggerated now that the penalties are in place. I've had ALL these bugs happen to me. Stuck in healing animation (EGC won't even kill you there), infinite load screen, pretty much everything. I've been on Holidays for the past 6 weeks (beauty of working at the same place for a decade). I've played a lot of DBD in that time (so much that I'm level 56 of the rift). I've had one of these things, only one, happen once. On hawkins, against an Oni.
Seems like everyone just hates the idea of having to stay in the game/die on hook now when things don't go their way. They can't cuck the killer of their sacrifice anymore and they are butthurt.

Yes because I can control some noob hillbilly stomping the average survivors I’m put with.
Hillbilly is the pick up and win killer for inexperienced players. High strength, minimal skill required. Don’t forget to slap on NOED too.
Sounds more like a matchmaking problem than a Hillbilly problem. Thanks for clarifying. I forgot you were a god tier survivor. That's why you're complaining about Hillbilly.

@ClickyClicky said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1086424#Comment_1086424
And yet most games against Hillbilly tend to be instadown, zoom, instadown, zoom, instadown. The fact is most survivors go down to that chainsaw fast.
You NEED good survivors against Hillbilly. Meanwhile the Hillbilly players are often no better than the survivors they’re taking down.
Most people that consider him “the most balanced killer” are the same people saying killer is impossible, Ruin nerf ruined the game, and that everything on the survivor side needs to be nerfed. It tells you what a warped view of balance they have.
If that's the case, if that's what most games are like for you (because how dare you speak for everyone else), you need to get better at playing survivor.

https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1087309#Comment_1087309
True, wraith is only very scary with proper builds... but, here is my counter, how many games do you see killers playing awful builds in red ranks for their killers? Your argument is a mute point because you generally play killers with what you can most likely win with.
I think a killer needs to be good with more than just a specific build or two to be "good" or movable on a tier list. Bubba for example. Give him PWTF, Nemesis etc (the standard obsession racer build), and he's pretty scary. He's still a horses ass of a killer, though.
-
@SnakeSound222 said:
I think that people just have it drilled into their heads that Wraith is bad. It’ll probably take a big buff or rework to get people to accept him as being decent at least.
Problem with Wraith is - he's only good with certain builds; and these are builds you can slap on any killer to make them half-viable. Otherwise he's literally the definition of lower-mid tier.
-
In an update to this, I sent an email to EAC and patiently waited for a response...which I got today. Below is a screenshot of the email (I use a client called Mailbird, because I use so many different email accounts for my work and personal life).
As you can see by their wording, it more or less says (and I'll paraphrase here), they will only ban you for things that give an unfair advantage over everyone else. If it doesn't give that kind of advantage, they will not ban you in game. They also say that their main focus is actual cheating tools, and unless a certain file edit is forbidden by the devs you're not in danger. Since editing the INI's to uncap FPS is not forbidden (as they have said in this thread), and because that doesn't give you an unfair advantage, you're fine. Changing things to remove fog etc. is likely a different story, though, since those can provide an unfair advantage.
There's more, but that's the jist.

Well that too, but I didn't mention the Killer because they are impacted far less then the teammates of the DCer.
Still a ######### situation either way.
I would disagree. They are impacted equally. Just in different ways.
