MMR is mainly calculated by kills/escapes though apparently hatch escapes are not counted as any and not sure if DCs/matches with DCs count.
so to lower your MMR it would make sense to just play the game but never kill any survivor. Just play for the 8hook/no kill matches and then goof around? It’s not directly against any game rules as long as you don’t force survivors to farm with you!
though only facing weaker opponent won’t really maximize our BP outcome. If everyone is dead on their first hook or get downed within seconds without you using your killers power, don’t break gens/pallets etc it won’t help you with the killer BP incentives (which are btw currently killswitched and there is no ETA when they will be back)
-
PTBs only are active for a short while (1 weeks) roughly 2 weeks before a major update (chapter or midchapter update) - which happen roughly every 1.5 months. The next one will be some time in January (as they are not launching anything major over the holidays)
If one is online, you are at the correct place to opt into it!
-
No, as long as you don’t use bugs/exploits to break rules such as taking the game hostage or forcing to farm/working with survs against other survs you won’t get banned i think.
if BHVR deems it too much, they could killswitch Knight but it shouldn’t lead to a ban

Hi there
It is generally possible to link Steam and Epic accounts to have Progression and purchases shared, yes!
you have to create a BHVR account and connect that with both platform accounts and then activate merging.
https://account.bhvr.com/you can look here for more info and create the account. Do read the FAQ as well before linking though - eg unlinking may lead to you losing progress..
also, the function to merge is currently disabled but they are working on a fix and they want to get it fixed before Stadia shuts down…
-
The characters of the current tome are always on shard sale i believe, so should be Mikaela right now (since Ghostface is licensed it doesn’t apply to the killer this time)
though not sure if the secondary ones are discounted as well? Not sure who was the second killer this tlme with extra challenges? (Survivor was base Char Meg so no discount there)

Artworks, cosplay, chapter ideas... show us what you got!
well, sooner than expected the creations section made its comeback

I still hope it simply comes back one day.
It is possible - if both parties (BHVR and Netflix) are willing to renew the licensing. If the rumours are true and Netflix didn’t want to renew because of their (now failed) own gaming service or whatever that at least from their side it could make sense..

I would def contact support for this as that’s something the forums staff can’t help you with:
-
Maps were never actually parts that you actively payed for in the DLC, they are just part of the updates that introduce the DLC characters as well - hence you being able to play even in private matches on all maps even if you didn’t purchase the corresponding DLC.
the wording isn’t that accurate i guess..
as to the achievements, they were changed to complete new ones though if you had the old Stranger Things related achievements those new ones would have been completed for you automatically!
cosmetics as compensation isn’t possible.. they had select few codes before the contract ended and gave those away on various giveaways

@ViperTheCharon said:
Oh, okay. Thanks for letting me know.
Well I am just guessing as well..
they are still working on the forum changes and might tweak the sections a little to make stuff clearer.. moving threads into the respective sections is also something the forum mods used to do and I guess will still be able to do!
-
I am on European servers and didn’t notice any difference at all this evening..
it’s only killer queues and def not survivors?
other than restarting the game i don’t know what else you could do.. how long have you waited and did you really get nothing or got a match after a long time?
-
nvm my previous comment, creations section is back I guess that’s the best fitting one:
Artworks, cosplay, chapter ideas... show us what you got! -
They removed multiple sections because they were underused.
i would put them into ‚Feedback and Suggestions‘ as for me ‚Off Topic‘ would be for stuff not connected to DbD whatsoever?
-
I think you have migrated your account from PS4 to PS5 - though it doesn’t support cross progression for both systems simultaneously. So while you own the version for PS4 still your progress is only connected to your PS5 version
i am not sure on this though as I am not playing the console version myself.. maybe here is some info for you:
XBOX SERIES X|S I’m an XB1 user, am I eligible for an upgrade? We recommend you refer to some of Microsoft’s own documentation, such as https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/06/15/what-is-smart-delivery-xbox-series-x/ Will my progress be carried over from XB1 to Next Gen? Yes! So long as you are using the same account that you… -
no at least no official way anyways.
i would assume this is something server-sided and couldn’t be done/changed from client side at all (except for making sure that your internet connection is stable..)

Did we ever figure out for which video games Tony Todd did voice recordings back some time ago? He tweeted about it I think and it was supposed to be for 2 games?

you now the fact that i said 3 gens and won, explains it self and yes eruption did help in 3 gen scenario but was useless before it
and they got their asses handle to them AGAIN because 3 gens, you are the typical answer for this sub
you won yet you are complain type of answer
Yeah maybe the screenshot was just really not helpful for your point at all?
i actually get what you mean, but… you could have just explained it or something else..

I mean, saying what things I find to be bad/wrong about the new format is constructive, no? They're things to improve.
Yeah I meant in generally as the threads topic is pretty much „just revert everything“
-
I really don’t know what the screenshot is supposed to be telling us here?
you played around in snowmen for 2 gens worth of time but still got 35K BP and 4kills as pig and these survs will be trying to focus even more on gens in consecutive matches instead of being more leisure as they just got their ass handed to them
(also are you sure Eruption didn’t help in the three gen scenario? A three gen isn’t a guaranteed win especially against pig…)

No I never had those issues on mobile myself. While they certainly should have been fixed for those that did get them, I'm not convinced the entire forum overhaul was worth the price. There's too many downsides so far.
Being unable to edit posts. Having no link to the forums at the bottom of a page. Limited info on certain forum pages. Jarring colour scheme and poor contrast colours. Font is too big.
Otherwise, mechanically the forums seem identical, so while I'm sure there's probably some back-end improvements, I'm not seeing them on the live forum.
If I had positive things to say I would, I just don't. Other than the fact that the subsequent changes have been better. (but still worse than the old design)

all stuff that could be adjusted in the new style. And I do think the old style was more limited in regards to certain features and adjustments etc.
i also didn’t ask you to be positive - give your negative feedback but be constructive doing so!

I'm on mobile now and I can't even see an icon for notifications any more.
There was always a bell in the corner before. Now nothing.
There's also no option to go back to the forum at the bottom of the page anymore.
I don't like just being negative, but I don't see anything positive about this new format yet.
You can see it and click on it when you click on your profile pic on the upper right corner.
preciously for me it displayed the notification in the bottom left (though sometimes it didn’t work at all) but once clicking on that I had to guess where go click next - that worked for you fine?
it would be nice if the notification would be directly there eg on the profile pic as a small number, sure, but nobody said the new looks are perfect and it has been multiple times said that changes are still coming (as in, Moment count/last commenter is now there)
it’s one thing to give constructive criticism and voice your opinion. Another thing is being just negative about change and denying any problems that have been there before

I don't hate it. I don't love it but I don't hate it either
The only thing I REALLY don't like though is that the "new" popups under threads is dark. The background is also dark. You can barely see the "new" notification when someone has posted a comment in a thread now...
Pretty sure that’s something that will be fixed (hopefully quickly)

I used the old forum on mobile all the time and it worked just fine.
This is such an eyesore, the lack of post borders, the huge default font, and the [New] / [3 new] / [Vote Up] tags being black instead of red make them much harder to notice. No comment count or view count.
I really don't get it. Weird colours and contrasts, the forum topics just kinda look like search engine results instead of forum topics.
I did too and I had plenty of problems with notifications and I know many people have reported the same.

@ExcelSword said:
Not gonna lie, that demogorgon interaction is making me wish so hard for a rework of his portals where he abducts survivors and takes them to the upside down rather than going for hooks.
That would have been great, some new kind of objective for the survs to get out of it etc, having some features of old Freddy (without the limitations that made them rework him of course)
though Demos power is kinda cool and I don’t wanna have another Freddy scenario losing an entire power…
-
What was wrong with the old design?
there were many issues on the mobile version and I guess new features may have been unavailable on the old design or something (though that’s just a guess)
as to the number of new posts - this might be updated later on, this version isn’t final and updates and changes are very much possible
-
Also regarding the recent discussions, I noticed it also includes the Meet Your Maker forums which would be cool to have them separate? Or if you could have a setting if you want both DbD and MyM included or only one?

Yes, Mandy commented on the forum feedback section missing:
@Mandy said:
Thank you, and yes we no longer have a forum feedback section - it is rarely used and I would rather have more active sub sections. So please feel free to point these out to me whenever you see them - I will work on this one tomorrow to adjust the contrasts!
and she actively asked for feedback on colors/contrasts etc as it’s something very subjective (and iirc she is colorblind herself)
-
I wouldn’t expect the old look to come back either. New functions as well as updates etc will probably not be compatible with the old looks

None of the new cosmetics that just released will be part of the sale, it says at the very end.
Ah yeah sorry didn’t read it completely

I am gonna take a wild guess: the discount only applies to the full outfits? So Yun-Jin’s new sweater won’t find its way to me. Oh well. Not sure if i would have paid any amount of auric cells on it anyways with the current events

thank you <3 ngl it's scary to do, especially as I'm not the most creative person
Pretty sure we'll have some minor issues over the next few days, but hopefully the major ones should be dealt with prior to the forum coming back online. I just ask that everyone is patient and lets me know when they find an issue in a calm manner - so that I can get them fixed. We can put things on my wall as a known issues list there, so that I can work on them.
Oh, I mean I guess the majority here is somewhat capable of expressing their feedback calmly…
so issues should be directly put on your wall or in the forums feedback section?

No, I really think there would be more info floating around if it was still possible to get the charm.
it’s possible that the event will return in the future though i guess… or they will add some new feature to get (select) charms that are popular and unobtainable?

Sure, that's fine. 👍️
Edit: Come to think of it, that's the one thing I never thought about, Smoke Bombs. It'd be a pretty good day to either obscure the killer's sight or hide your Aura. Also, what's a water bottle for? I guess to cure Exhaustion.
You can click on them to get directed to the respective threads where I go further into detail.
Water bottle would be used to cure the negative status effects of Exhaustion (which would be something like louder breathing, slower vaulting speed or something) - just having an item to get completely rid of exhaustion would probably be too strong

or they get extremely toxic because i you tunnel all of them with lightborn or franklins, oh im sorry, you are allowed to bully me, but im not?
O yeah the tunneling everyone at the same time complaint! Just recently had someone that claimed I hard tunneled their mate - even though said mate was first to get hooked and died in EGC when everyone else was on death hook.
these kinda endgame chats even make a lost game feel better than a win.

@Akito said:
Yea but usually they release patches earlier the day or am I missing sth? (in EU they release between 5pm and maybe 9pm but that was back when they announced stuff in their streams). But this time it was around 11pm. That's kinda crazy^^
It released at 5pm CET for me though?
Though I didn’t get any prompt in-game and had to end the game to start the update not sure if that’s usually the case?

@AcelynnBen said:
yes sometimes the solo synergy tends to blend in too well it feels like SWF
but in high mmr, yea no, u ain't convincing me that those 4 megs with flashlights aren't swf
The best thing is when a 4 man swf claims in end-game chat they were soloq without even being asked for it and then you see on one of the 4 profiles they forgot to switch it to private and they indeed were a 4 man

if only we got this outfit as well…

It’s pretty much the usual second bugfix patch after a major update though?

I’m talking 4 man squads. I don’t think I’d consider a 2 man on comms or a 3 man no comms a SWF, just some people who met each in the game, and play together sometimes. I’ve played those, and didn’t really feel advantageous. I’ve just been playing Solo q today and received some much crap from killers post game calling out SWF this and SWF that, I mean jeez, there was no SWF and that killer tunneled and camped their way to a 3-4K. I guess I’m just curious at what point does a killer think he’s facing a SWF? Because a Gen is finished quick? Does that activate camp and tunnel mode? Just curious.
SWF is an acronym for Survive with Friends, which per definition includes all types of survivors playing together in a premade - no matter how many and if on comms or not.
it’s still advantageous over complete random soloq even if you are only a 2 man without comms as you at least know that there is someone having your back/not only hiding/sandbagging etc.
-
Are you strictly talking about 4 man swf groups? Otherwise I am pretty sure the percentage of swfs including 3- and 2man is higher than that.
doesn’t mean all of them are sweat squats and some might not even use any voice comms of course..
-
You can upload the video on YouTube as an unlisted video and just provide the link, it’s pretty much the recommended way as the file size of clips is too big for their system…
though I think if this was a one time occurrence by them it isn’t exactly considered bannable/grieving (would be considered this if they did it to you over multiple matches…) but I guess it might still be worth a shot to see if the support team agrees with you as they determine this case by case.
