You're not wrong per se but it shouldn't have to be so obtuse to report people. What if you've never uploaded a youtube video before and have to go through the process of learning how, or you don't have game/screen recording software open, or your pc has trouble running recording software and dbd at the same time, etc.? And why does a ticket even have to be submitted on a completely separate website outside of the game? I'm just saying that there needs to be a way for them to streamline the process, say, with a game replay system viewable by support staff that would allow reporting to be done in game from start to finish if they actually want people to care about reporting cheaters and exploiters. Don't get me wrong though, I know implementing something like that would take a lot of manpower so I don't expect it any time soon, I'm just stating how I believe things should be.
I am completely with you on this.
sadly the devs have recently stated that the current architecture of the game is not suitable for this kind of change and thus it won’t be implemented this way (though iirc they actually agreed that it would be a good feature)
i still hope they are trying/finding a way to implement this and they made that statement to not get hopes up too high? But.. we shouldn’t expect it to come…

I have no idea how anyone can like her when her best strategy is to literally lock up a 3-gen and hold the game hostage.
other killers can do that too and are not that hated. Some even more effectively. And you don’t have to play her like that yourself just because it’s her best strategy.
heck, i still think this is more engaging than hard tunneling Nurses and Spirits or facecamping Bubbas and Huntresses.
-
uhm. Maybe place her traps more strategically and play accordingly, some of her addons also seem interesting.
not saying she is strong or whatever, but her greatest flaw is her being an M1 killer which is just a problem from the general game design (and tbh Nurse and Blight and the few others existing and not being nerfed will result in basic M1 killers not getting any significant buffs either)
it sounds like you are either burnt out of DbD and need a break or just play a killer that’s more appealing to your taste. There are.. how many available? And no one forced you to get this one. There are people that like this killer and can use her power and she is in need of some adjustments for sure. But she gets way too much hate for being an average M1 killer..

If your comment gets deleted because you broke a rule you will get a private message with the appropriate info from the mod.
sometimes, maybe a quoted message got deleted/changed though then usually that just gets edited out from your post.
also for posts from new users with few post counts, comments might get shoved into the spam filter (when they edit it or post often in a short time) then a mod needs to manually approve those comments

Killers move differently depending on if you use a controller or keyboard+mouse.
and ultimately M&K is more precise and especially flicks and such on killers like Oni, Hillbilly, Blight are more potent.
with Hillbilly and Oni I think you can use Q and E buttons for better maneuverability. Also check if you can increase sensitivity of your mouse
-
You are not supposed to just wiggle out on your own even with Boil Over. The mechanic is mostly there to prevent the killer holding you hostage or having the ability to get a basement or scourge hook everytime.
if the survs wiggle out frequently when you play killer they either coordinate it well (using Breakout, bodyblocking, sabotage, boil over) or you simply choose the wrong hooks, maybe even change your direction often while carrying?
Are you playing on console/pc with controller? Then you sadly are more affected by the wiggling as killer, can’t do much against it, some people claim it’s easy to walk sideways in this case eg to get through doorways when the surv has boil over.
-
Pretty sure there isn’t one case were you can purchase a single item that’s exactly the same as the default/another piece.
(well, there is that Hillbilly pants from that frozen set, but it didn’t hit the store did it?)
you can always assume that this is not intended.
(not to be confused with a set were you purchase the whole set eg Jill)

I got mine yesterday.
are you sure you checked the correct boxes for the newsletter notifications?

You realize you can just talk about the stuff you actually don’t like about the chapter without bringing up an optional skin which.. isnt even out of place with all those other cosmetics like shirtless survs, beach huntress, spirit, spirits default, the face that all original female killers are barefooted one way or another, community literally asking for sexy outfits constantly..

Additionally to what sizzlingmario said, there is an addon that lets you summon the Carnifex twice in a row, which I found very useful for the challenge as you need to get 6 breaks with Carnifex iirc: it’s the Battle Axe Head (yellow rarity).

As long as...
Uhm, yes, of course, the exact scenario I experienced that you try to dismiss as some kind of exception that never happens...
Of COURSE they didn't do the last gen, what do you expect!?
This comment gives me "Uhm yes, the floor is made out of floor" vibes, no offence, I'm actually chuckling over this (I am quite amused)
Silly bugger.
I didn’t try to dismiss it. You didn’t mention it. And this thread is specifically about the scenario of survs getting gens done and opening the gate.
you are describing a behavior that is reportable as ‚holding the game hostage‘ btw, though you would have to make a clip, in-game report and additional support ticket if you wanted to report that. And this usually is an exception and not happening on a regular basis to most players.
and I would appreciate it if you didnt call me that, even if it’s not a serious insult. And especially considering you just dropped in a thread where a new player asked for advice and you just made a comment which didn’t give any info for them nor on your specific scenario and it could almost be interpreted as condescending towards them, downplaying their ‚problem‘.

Oh boy do I love getting punished for having to dc because of someone else exploiting.
On a more serious note, yes, this is reportable as it is an exploit. The best thing to do if it happens again is get video evidence, report the player in game at the end of the game, and then submit a ticket to BHVR support with the video. But let's be real - ain't nobody got time for that. Until BHVR adds a report system that doesn't require the same amount of effort as sacrificing your firstborn child on top of an Aztec pyramid during a blood moon, I refuse to use it.
The punishment is only 5 min though - if you don’t do it frequently. I do believe this is pretty fair.
and once you have done one report you actually realize that the support ticket isn’t that tedious. Just the video upload on another platform (and the recoding of it) is annoying but otherwise it’s really straightforward and can be done in no time.

@Spectralfx said:
Consider yourself lucky, I get the games where they don't bother opening the gate at all and just stay there.
you can open the gate yourself as long as the last gen got finished
-
As long as they only did it during EGC I guess that’s not holding the game hostage? (Not sure on this though - maybe this still counts as exploiting and would be reportable)
outside of EGC this would definitely be reportable, then you would need to make an in-game report and additionally a player support ticket where you may attach a clip of it (or at least such a screenshot though pics are easily faked)
it’s totally okay to use the in-game dc button in cases were the match can’t end naturally btw, that’s why the button is there (either abusers like this or actual glitches/bugs or smth)

On topic: this could mean cross progress only for Xbox and Windows Store edition right? Though hopefully they get included in the general BHVR account cross progress with the other platforms..

@Laurie268 said:
How would this work if you have for example 100 hours of gameplay on the xbox and 1000+ on steam? I hope you’re right though, I know so many people who want to make the switch to PC from console but can’t because they would lose thousands of hours of progress.
It’s already possible with Steam and Epic and was with Stadia :
What platforms is Cross-Progression on? As of right now, cross-progression is between Steam, Stadia and Epic Games Store. Will I be able to transfer all my purchases to a different platform? For the most part yes, however Auric Cells and some virtual goods will not transfer due to licencing restrictions. Virtual Currency,… -

I might play Skull Merchant a bit and see if I really like her power after the buffs. PTB Skull Merchant was really bad, so hoping her power is a little better. Her perks are bad though, save for THWACK! which could be useful to other killers.
Love the survivors. They actually have pretty decent backstories and I like them both. Their perks are very underwhelming though, save for Bloodrush and Cut Loose.
Definitely buying this with money since I want the exclusive cosmetics for the survivors and it's easier for me to buy it with real money rather than grinding for shards (Honestly I just wanted the survivors out of this chapter, but since I'm buying with money I'll try Skull Merchant out too)
Definitely buying outfits for both Renato and Thalita, but with shards. I'm not gonna bother with Skull Merchant though.
New maps are cool. I like the new Shelter Woods and Red Forest looks awesome, although it could've been balanced better.
Do we know which exclusive cosmetics they will get? Or are you just assuming you will like them/want them for collection purpose?
(please don’t tell me the PTB alt shirts are usually the DLC exclusive outfits… )
-
I kinda like the killers design, having her have her fathers manga character inspiration and all. I also love the survivor designs. Though I do think it gets a little boring that we are getting more and more model-like, super hot and attractive characters (in this case one at least even is a model?). I also do think that the models/textures/animations felt kinda off. Like, goofy, too stylistic, more fitting for the Sims or Fortnite. But that feels like something having made its way into this game for some time now progressively getting more?
power is meh. Interesting concept. I love the hacking mechanic being fresh and not just skill checks. Drones should have been like drones and move around? Or something? Perks I will probably never use after the adepts? (I… forgot what they were tbh)
love the map reworks.
will get the chars with shards as usual. Probably get some surv recolors (Thalita will get the golden shirt if I don’t like any of the other tops?) but will wait for shard availability if I want any of the auric cell time exclusive

@MrMori said:
Yeah, here's my concept:
He can track survivors based on their heartbeat, he can speed up temporarily, and he can disable survivor items for a short time!
Sounds cool, right?
That literally sounds like Legion with Franklins Demise? But I guess that’s due to it being very vague. Would need some more detail

Define sweat first..
like.. are you expecting them to farm with you?

@dredge1137 said:
oh whoops, I feel quite silly now. Thanks!
No need, it is worded wrong and I think pretty much everyone assumes at first it’s enough to get survs in a trap.
i know I needed quite some time before figuring it out
-
Sounds like a bug then!
Check if someone reported it already. If so upvote it and maybe add additions info as comment, otherwise create a new report, try to give all info (which char were you playing, other perks, vs different killers/perks or was something always the same, how often, keybinds you tested etc)
Report any bugs you find here. -
Do you actually see the button prompt or is that already missing? Also, you sure you were healing the other surv and not mending from deep wounds?
can you make a short clip of it happening?
-
Very likely a cheat especially if you also caught them speed hacking.
But could be some kind of glitch or visual bug.
in-game reports will only be reviewed if you make an additional player report ticket to support, where you can attach a link to the video clip as evidence:
-
You have to make an in-game report with zhe appropriate category.
then create an additional player report ticket to support. Make sure to include a link to the video clip (eg as unlisted YouTube video) - attachments as big as video clips aren’t supported. Also include your player Id from in-game settings so they can link your report and the match together.
-
Yeah the wording here is just off and probably needs to be adjusted accordingly. Grabbing the survs out the trap is the intentional way and should give progress.

Imagine realm beyond updates for maps can finally be done with the swamp and over and they can then focus on other realm beyond stuff (character models, animations, maybe even lighting, atmosphere, fog?? And/or add new maps and maps for chapters that didn’t get any (All-Kill chapter in new realm, Binding of kin new map for either Red Forest or Shattered Square)
(why am I still excited and optimistic on DbD someone help me)
on topic: I think many fence designs around maps don’t really make that much sense I guess, but it should definitely be something more fitting with the structures on the maps already present and all.

Play how you want as long as it is within the rules and hitting them is definitely not breaking any rules.
don’t let those kind of people tell you what to do, if they don’t want to play let them dc and get the appropriate automatic penalty for it, if they don’t want to play against random killers then they need to play custom matches with friends instead.

As others have stated, you don’t suck. But Plague isn’t OP at all, though definitely stronger against soloq than coordinated swf.
i think it’s baffling though that people still think cleansing is taboo at all? Like, it depends heavily on the perks, addons, state of the match and so many circumstances. It’s definitely not always best practice to not cleanse…
-
not all devs aren’t directly reading posts here so don’t expect them to read and answer. And those more active are probably on the community management/moderation team and are mainly taking feedback and clarifying things here, not reveal new things in development (as these things are usually not revealed/promoted just in a forum post like that)
Though I can at least tell you that this has been often suggested/asked for and I have never seen real backlash from other community members, so I think at least it’s something they should know about but it might just be low priority right now..

@SixShotOcelot said:
Twins were confirmed during a livestream around the time of the Legion/Ghostface rework/add-on pass to be the next in line for a rework and some general TLC.
However, they bumped Nurse ahead of the Twins. Not sure if it was due to community noise regarding nurse, or complications regarding reworking the Twins. My guess is a partial combination of both, plus some other factors we are likely not aware of (nor do I think we need to be).
I am eagerly waiting for the Twins rework/update. I don't feel there is enough available data about which killers should be next (aside from Twins), so I trust BHVR's decision. I just always want the reworks to be more ambitious changes that might make things spicy and require a hotfix, opposed to safety soft number tweak that can sometimes feel unimpactful on an individual's perspective level (opposed to an aggregate of data from 1000s of matches).
I know he is known for having one of the larger reworks, but I would be super interested to see what a reworked Freddy looks like in today's DbD environment.

hopefully we will see a mix of PTB Freddy and new Freddy (I do like gen teleport and alarm clocks, very fitting). His current state is just so sad in general considering the source material..

They haven’t confirmed a date yet? But I would assume sometime this year..
-
Hopefully more skins and legendary; yeah.
but not another chapter plz. There are so many other licenses offering fresh and unique ideas. I already fear due to the movie contract we will see other uninspired licenses…
-
Werewolf and Poltergeist would be interesting. I guess Vampire as well though the whole blood thing already is covered by Oni?
creature from the black lagoon is pretty much that one Hag cosmetic and I think Wraith (and Kate lol) already got Scarecrow cosmetics?
i don’t know if it would fit with the others, but a Banshee would also be cool?
-
Weird error message 😅
at least it doesn’t end in dc penalty or anything I guess? Did it happen again?
i guess verifying game files would be the first step, if it still happens, probably need the logs? (Is there even anyone on the forums anymore that helps with these technical issues now that Khaine isn’t a mod anymore?)
-
No, there isn’t a gift option.
you would need to gift her currency on the platform (eg Steam if that’s where you play DbD on) so she can the get auric cells in-game that way..
the devs have asked in a recent survey if people would be interested in a gift system in-game though iirc - maybe it’s something they consider to add next year.
-
I think DbD would have translated better into a series than one standalone movie. You can only use a handful of killers in a movie while you could focus on a different killer each episode in a show.
though i do look forward to the movie nonetheless.
-
Agreed.
after years of playing on controller I finally switched to M&K on PC because it felt like I got punished all the time just for playing on a controller (even though I already used certain Steam settings eg Deadzones etc)
now I still mess up plenty of time but that’s because I am actually messing up the controls myself and I need that on controller as well

I do not believe the new system is calculating the right amount of MMR. I have been faced against a team that has over 7k-8k hours in the game while I still have 1k hours. On the other hand, I faced people that have not even have 100 hours. So yes while the old system has its flaws, the new system does not change that flaws and I think it makes it even worse than that.
Thing is.. playtime does really not equal skill either. Using that as a sole metric can’t justify if a matchmaking system works or not. Trust me, I got plenty of hours and am still playing very poorly
-
tl;dr can anyone give an honest justification for the current escape/kill system as opposed to the old emblem system ?
not defending the new system, but the old system was full of flaws as well:
- Anyone could reach high ranks with enough playtime, getting emblems doesn’t equal skill (neither does escaping and getting kills)
- reset every months didnt make sense for a matchmaking system and just made it more random
- it didn’t even work at all (rainbow rank matchmaking was pretty much in every match)
-
I think the community mainly hates on this chapter/killer because they seem like a rather weak M1 killer without mobility/map pressure. They just want another killer on Nurse/Blight/Wesker power level.
funnily enough, same part of the community hated on Blight as well (not because of the actual bugs but the power mechanic in general because it wasn’t powerful as straight forward as Wesker or Nurse)
-
I am definitely excited for the map reworks, I kinda like the new survs (even though I think the models/textures/animations felt unfinished and goofy in PTB) and.. well I don’t hate the new killer as many others but. Eh. I do like the hacking mechanic on survivor side at least, something refreshing and not just skillchecks again

The human eye sees the color green better than any other color on the spectrum. Might be less a FOV thing and more of your brain fighting against this very bright green glow that’s trying to constantly draw your eyes away from looking for scratch marks or peeking survivors.
Just a random guess.
Maybe that or it’s the camera movement/animations themselves that cause some kind of motion sickness for OP?
-
they probably can’t add any new cosmetics for (certain) licensed chars anyway (Stranger Things and Nightmare on Elmstreet) - so if they add something then only for original characters and maybe select licensed ones? Wouldn’t want that.. but then again i wouldn’t want anything anyway as i don’t think it’s healthy to incentivize p100-ing multiple characters?
