People are overreacting about everything here. Don't take it too serious without proper investigation.
Nfts in games is - play to earn system that promotes to use Blockchain and crypt tokens as something to trade for ingame goods which isn't good cause it's dark market.
I don't remember exact date but Steam announced they will ban every game that goes this way.
Pinhead license owners somehow are with Ntfs and it drops a shadow on DbD, so our fellow forum nerds start panic and spam ######### all over that *End is near, Nibiru is coming*
You're part of the problem that enables the NFT bs going around, downplaying how a Pyramid Scheme that is actively harming the environment for digital receipt is us overreacting. But of course you don't care. Wouldn't be surprised if you're into Crypto.....
-
Dunno if we ever talked on here or played in matches, but hope the best for ya! Stay safe and be in good spirits (no not that spirit). I'll be on here a while longer but I'm through with the game...been uninstalled since the first news about the NFTs cropped up a week+ ago. Wanted to wait to see what BHVR would say about it but they never addressed us and just revealed who they are with that announcement.
-
It feels like a betrayal of our trust and support....it just feels so dirty to be like:
Us: "oh hey, BHVR...we saw some troubling info/news about some shady Pyramid scheme...can you let us know what's going on?"
BHVR: *radio silence for a week+*
Us: "ummm...guys/gals what's....up we really don't wanna believe what we're hearing. Talk to us!"
BHBR: "Oh hey, we're not doing said shady thing.....*a lil time passes* but we are partnering up with shady seller scheme!"
Just, what a crap show this whole thing is.

I'm in the ssme boat as you. Been with the game for years (joined when Clown was added) non-stop, then I started to play less and less by the time Deathslinger was released and then settled into a on and off relationship. Where I'd play for a few weeks then stop, rinse and repeat.
While I haven't been here thru everything or every patch, I've been thru some pretty big highs and lows. But no matter what change or new additions I wasn't on board for...nothing comes close to this decision from the company. It's just so repulsive, greedy, disgusting and tone deaf as all hell. No amount of backpeadling or apologies can undo this and the real face of the company. Like yeah, every company of every product isn't really our friend and exist to make & sell products for us to buy....but this steps over the line big time for myself.
Gonna miss the game, the fun games as my mains and second mains. Michael Myers, Ghostface, Pig, Oni, Legion, Spirit, Leatherface, Hag, Huntress and even Clown(tho I sucked as him). Was even going to start practicing Pyramid Head more and eventually get Nemesis & Pinhead to play (which I didn't get yet) and now I just can't see myself doing so. I can't support this company and their actions, giving them money, player count numbers or any publicity outside of what I type on the forums. This was THEE multiplayer game for me too....

The concept behind an NFT is fine.
How they are implemented is not.
Supporting NFT's at the moment is essentially the same thing as supporting a company intentionally making oil spills.
The structure of transactions at the moment currently has people wasting electricity by racing to be the first person to "confirm" a transaction. If you're not the first person to confirm a transaction, you're SoL, and all the computing power and energy you used is wasted, so not only do you need to be sure you're using an unspecified amount of power, but if someone else is somehow using more, then it doesn't matter. (An electrical arms race).
And the more a block on the blockchain the NFT is hosted on is used, the more processing power needed for that block in order to "confirm" the transaction.
Because you get "paid" for "confirming" these transactions (with the same currency that these transactions and NFT's are hosted on), and there currently is zero regulation on blockchains, people look at it like a goldmine.
While things like the Gold Standard and Paper Currency look to convert resources into a symbol of value regulated by a governing body, electronic currency mostly consumes resources to create a symbol of value. And with cryptocurrency, it's done without any regulation, meaning anyone can try to generate electricity to "create" this currency through any means necessary.
You'd probably find someone willing to irradiate an area through unsafe nuclear reactions if there wasn't already regulations and laws regulating that kind of thing, all in the name of powering an array of computers for some bitcoin.
The concept is not fine. You want cool art? Find an artist to commission some actual art from them or buy art at a shop. NFTs are money laundering Pyramid scheme where you don't own the art or even get the art...you get a receipt saying you own the receipt to this. Often NFTs are either stolen art or computer generated assortment of the same damn thing given random number of em to create the illusion of rarity.
The amount of energy to even go thru this is ridiculously wasted that trumps what a single person can do throughout a year with multiple energy uses....for a single digital receipt. Everything about them is greedy, disgusting and morally bankrupt. The NFT discussion has been around for months and if after this time and all this talk a person still sits on the fence of them, congrats on them supporting terrible practices and being inherently terrible because of it.

That ship has sunk for me personally.

somebody needs to get this to Jim Sterling or something. Somebody who can really help influence the future of this game. It's clear BHVR want to run it into the dirt.
It's been brought up to Stephanie Sterling since this first cropped up. They are aware of it all
-
@Damarus said:
Can someone give me a general idea of what NFTs are and why is this a bad thing?
Money laundering/Pyramid scheme that actively harms the environment and often steals artist's work. All that to buy a digital receipt to a piece of digital "art" that you don't own or even have.
-
I knew with their silence after concerns were brought up for over week on here, reddit & Twitter that it was true. Never underestimate what a company will do. There is no way NFTS were quietly or not mentioned to them and that this isn't BHVR's fault. They agreed to it....Is rather NOT have a licensed killer if it meant not NFT bs.
This is ridiculously disappointing and disgusting. I'm absolutely not playing this game or any future BHVR titles because of this. Even if they "back down" and reverse it, it already shows that they won't draw a line and it's done enough damage. Don't give them pats on the back because if they change course, it'll be PR stunts to claim innocence on their behalf. Shouldn't give praise for doing a greedy, horrible that by now enough info has been out about NFTs, and only after backlash to "do the right thing". That's why the game industry is such a mess...
And this blows chunks because I still loved this game....enjoyed playing it despite the issues I've had with it....was even going to be getting some of the dlc. But not anymore and I take no ######### pleasure in this whole thing at all.
-
My condolences :[. When the character/Chapter sale ended I thought the Skin sale did too, but I lucked out as they separated the two sales...so I got Cumogorgon ASAP. I don't play Steve, tho Scoops is a nice one. I say if yer gonna be playing the game and those two characters, probably a decent choice to still get either one.
With Demo, I just do not care for the default skin, not gonna waste time for Prestige and the other two Skins don't do much for me, so I absolutely wanted the Geo Skin, which I like unironically but also for the meme
-
It's one thing if people are farming or memeing together, it's another thing to do this. Def save the video of it and report them.

Thanks for stopping by 🧁

Seriously, could you not have given us some fan service with the Hellraiser cinematic? I mean, it was nice, but I would have enjoyed it much more if it was a well rendered shirtless David getting strung up by chains.

@GrimoireWeiss said:
"Upset" is a strong word. I think people just understand why change a mechanic that made the game more fun and that it wasn't game breaking (it actually helped against Nurse and Spirit).
That was absolutely an unintentional thing. If a Survivor is standing in front of the Killer with the pallet in front of the Survivor (both players on the same side), there is zero reason it should stun the Killer. Pallets need work for their actual hitbox to be consistent, but any slamming the pallet down without a care and get a stun even when messed up is not ok in my book. Same with me not being ok with hitting a Survivor despite a good pallet drop that legit hit me...
And from my gaze certain Survivor mains I've seen on the web are being pretty "end of the game" about it and how the game is Killer sided over a fix like this.

Performance is fine, so far as I can tell.
It isn't worse.
Avoid The Game tho. There are a ton of unbreakable pallets that create god loops.
Thanks for the heads-up!
I'll probably wait to hop into matches tomorrow, as I know the players I get matched with layer in the day are way less chill than if I played mornings
-
@Pulsar said:
Constant disconnects that are forced by the game.
Unbreakable pallets on The Game.
Performance is eh. Dead Hard seems to be 70/30 for me. Most of the time it doesn't lag.
Pinhead is seriously weak. He's Clown if Clown needed to hit a Deathslinger shot to slow down Survivors. The chains are pretty useless and I've yet to either see a Chain Hunt or find a box.
I wonder if his power was somewhat similar to Doctor's with the add-on of a circle instead of a line PR if he threw out his power like Clown would've been better...or too broken? I really want to play Pinhead, he's an all-time favorite Horror icon of mine, but I feel he's gonna be unfun to play against the better Survivors with trying to land hits that MUST be used at the best time/spot or you wind up with not much of a net positive, even if you land the hits. Also afraid of what the performance & aiming will be like on console for myself.

Then why are people saying they're a small game company? Hmm then I redact my saying on them being a small game company. But everything else I say holds water. Note I'm not defending nor attacking BHVR. Just using this forum and this game as an example of content/products coming out unfinished. So if anything what you say makes me more inclined to agree with you and that there should be no excuse for BHVR's lack of good content coming out.
Part of that is because it's a meme, much the same the Hearthstone community joke about them being a new/small time company....when it's Activision-Blizzard. The same reason "Did a good job so far" and "go play something else, I hear Civilization is good" are on-going meme responses to when DBD has issues.
I've been too exhausted to hop into DBD today and hearing all the feedback of DCs and unable to get into games, two maps being disabled, some people's dlc being uninstalled & such just puts me off of wanting to dedicate what time I have to trying. Having a heart condition means having to really pick and choose what I do/want to do each day because of fatigue and having that be used up on a buggy dlc launch isn't sounding too appealing right now.
-
Outside of me buying the Blight Chapter when it came out, the Blighted Skins of Ghostface & Legion when they came out (which has been awhile) and just now the Spunkogorgon Skin on sale, I haven't really monetarily supported this game all that much.
I DO want to get Nemesis & Pinhead, maybe Twins...but just holding off for now. Mostly because the state of console play is awful & still in dire need of help. I feel the game is still fun and has potential to be better.....

Imo V is way better than VI.
Personal opinion
I like the Civ leaders in V so much more than VI. Spain, Japan, China, Russia, Babylon, Assyria, Byzantine and so many others I had so much fun with
-
Been a thing since the Rift & it's challenges we're added. You can't blame people, they're often tedious or require it rather than play the match normally and end up having to play several matches. It all comes down to time really.
It def sucks when you're the sacrifice for it on Survivor side, but it is what it is...unless the design of the Challenges are reworked, expect it to always be a thing for those wanting to do the challenges
-
I only have issues with Haddonfield if I'm against a really good team, moat notably SWF groups. But I don't hate it nearly as much as other Killers do.
-
I love Otzdarva, but I'm tired of the community harping on NOED being earned or not, and I only ever use it on Clown for shits & giggles. NOED is fine, it can be cleansed and now more than ever do Survivors have multiple Perks AND Map items to cleanse Totems. Otzdarva even put up a video about how working with one person, practicing with each Perk by themselves they cleansed all the Totems really fast (granted it was KYF but point stands).
Gens can go by fast, seen situations where multiple ones can pop before the match even really begins. NOED, Blood Warden, Rancor and No Way Out are all about endgame snowballing, or securing the last kill or two. I don't see how Perks like these "aren't earned", esp if you're only using NOED. You sacrifice the majority of the main Match for a chance getting a dominating endgame or some Kills and lose a Perk slot hoping you can capitalize on the endgame, which is not going to be consistent. This Perk can easily backfire.
-
Farm. It tried 3 matches with attempting to doing it normally. Gave up and the very next match I downed someone, smacked a Gen till they wiggled off and hoped they understood I wanted to farm. Luckily they did and I got it by tossing the bottles at em while they did the Gen and at all of em at the Exit Gate for good measure.

Like if graphics are the main issue then explain to me why stutters still happen on maps like Grim Pantry & Red Forest on actions like unhooks & Dead Hard when nothing has really changed about those maps since release (besides the gen sparks, pallets, & some boxes here and there)? Also explain to me why Switch allegedly still handles like garbage despite them lowering the graphical quality tremendously (though I mean...it is the Switch)?
Pointing out the wrong/unlikely thing is just as harmful as saying nothing at all.
I feel that it may be a band-aid fix in the best scenario that may minimize SOME of the issues (look, at this point any improvement is welcomed) and the bigger optimization issues tackled down the line. Worst case scenario this becomes our only help in the foreseeable future. This is all conjecture and predicated on BHVR taking up the petition xP.
-
Borrowed Time would absolutely be baseline, built-in ability if so. It's funny how at 3 Hooks it can take forever to "nicely" get someone killed. Take away one hooked state and it (imo) would wildly make it much easier imo.
-
The most I tunnel is if Survivors swarm the Hooks, or after a unhook, I down and hook the rescuer, if I come across the person who was unhooked after the other person was hooked,, I'm gonna go to hook ya again.

the only killer I ever saw bring a lery's offering, was a michael meyers using scratched mirror...
who thinks lery's is a killer sided map?
It used to be with it'd old design. It was SO tiny xP. I do miss it a bit tbh.
-
Borrowed Time + We'll Make it. Can throw in Empathy or Bond if you wish to locate Players better.
I know this is like the obvious picks, they really are strong. BT is an absolute must imo, given the nature that Killers will not hesitate to smack a recently unhooked Survivor. We'll Make It has ALWAYS been one of my favorite Perks. You just superman heal them, and others once it's active. You can attempt Sabotage or Breakout Builds, but their mileage may vary and you may end up without getting much or any value out of em (esp in solo queue). They can be fun tho if you want something different.
-
I sometimes feel it's just troll parties, because we see a mass influx of threads like that for one single perk, then it rotates to another one.
Tinkerer is just fine....should already or learn to suspect it, esp if yer chunking through gens. I only use Tinkerer on Oni, but it can be great on stealth Killers and ofc, Hillbilly... but it is not a problem.

If you’re getting next to no BPs that’s on you and your team. It takes a good while to get to T3 with that add on.
Funny that people call it a broken add on, clearly survivor mains or those who haven’t played Myers enough.
Play with Your Food was an absolute must when I went for that Trophy (got it thankfully after a day of matches, got lucky). But oh boy did Survivors bolt to lockers instead of doing anything else JUST to spite me. People are strange creatures....
-
Or....you could just not get them in the web OR use em. Gonna use em and keep at least once as a souvenir and hope it'll stay, as a reminder of the 🎶 good old days, drinking whiskey & rye, singing this'll be the day that I die 🎶

@ThiccBudhha said:
I literally just run a BBQ, Ruin, Surveillance, with filler perk on every single killer I play. Lightborn if they have even one flashlight. Usually Lethal Pursuer if they do not. That is it.
-BBQ & Chili
-Pop Goes the Weasel
-Nurse's Calling (on Stealth Killers), Franklin's Demise (if more than 2 items are brought in, sometimes if 2 or more)
-Save the Best for Last
-Surge (mostly on my Michael Myers build)
And then on occasion:
-Hex: Ruin (mostly favor POP tbh)
-Hex: Haunted Ground
-Hex: Devour Hope
On my Killers without all the Perks obtained, I use other Perks for fun and becasue I have few other choices.....but I def know I fall back on my usual go-to picks....and with very good reason. Of I forsake some or most of these Perks, I def suffer and have to do way more to get where I would if I just had one or all the Perks used. I really really want stronger incentives to use & try out other Perks without feeling I'm gonna throw a match just for it.
-
Gods I'd love a bot mode (while still getting Bloodpoints, while Ranked can get real Ranked rewards) sometimes I just want to play a bunch of DBD but not go thru the potential rigamarole of dealing with other players.
-
I'm just tired of when the game does give me the same map multiple times in a row. Some maps I'll get once but then it'll be half a dozen or more games till I get that particular one again, while some other one just won't go away!
-
Hmmmm
-Michael Myers.
-Pig
-Ghostface
-Trapper
-Demogorgon
-Oni (but not experts xP).
Haven't played against Twins or Trickster yet as I main Killer & play on console. I haven't played against enough Nemesis either yet. Everyone else I either hate going against or the usual type of players that play said killers.
-
I tried to learn him, but until fixed, it's been a nightmare on console as I lag/freeze when using his power. That said, I still found him very fun. It's worth putting the time & effort to at least try each Killer. Even tho I didn't stick with every Killer, it's worth giving em a few test runs.
With Pyramid Head, I he has a fun power with sending people to cages and range hitting Survivors. He isn't insanely strong but he can out some great pressure on Survivors, esp with a built-in Mori!
-
This thread is getting way too off topic. We all have legit complaints and issues and while it's repetitive to mull over the same discussions...having a hub thread for it is at least important continue to illustrate the many ongoing issues...I'd rather this thread not get locked/taken down.

Lol, I said in another thread, but I had a TTV call me a stream sniping tunneler because as Legion, with 3 tracking Perks, I was able to find the Survivors multiple times. Was called a tunnels because the Survivor went for an unhook in basement, I came down as they ran up, smacked the person who did the unhook, and because we all body blocked each other, I could catch up and downed the unhooker....
Also as a Killer, if you unhook in the basement and both of ya'll stay in the basement to hide and I see no evidence ya'll left the basement....don't be salty when I pull both of ya out of the lockers... like why would I go easy or play dumb? Instead of learning what you did wrong, see what Perks I had & deduced the situations that may have happened due to said Perks...ya'll wanna play the victim card at how unfair I was xD.
I watched the VOD of the Survivor who ended up DCing on me because I pulled them out of a locker and it was just hilarious how without a second thought, I was some tunneling, sniping ######### because I.......just played the game? Like there is a huge community culture of just victim syndrome where zero critical thinking or consideration is ever used.

Daaaaamn. I wonder if those things are causing lag on everyone's end and not just yours. Not trying to be like, uwu don't complain, killer main. I just mean there are times I don't know why it lags and I'm wondering if I'm on a gen and all of THAT is going on that I don't know about which is what makes it lag for me too.
I wonder what it was like on their end as well and wish I could see. I did not enjoy that match, even if I came out of it with a 3k.
I had a small opportunity when I faced a TTV Survivor on a different Map, while as Legion and I froze while vaulting a pallet, when I viewed the VOD, they had zero performance issues at the moment that I had issues with the pallet. Far as I can tell off that anecdotal evidence is possible the Survivors on Midwich didn't have the same issues that I did. I didn't notice them confused or running into anything or standing still. But again, not way to verify, as I know Dead Hard can mess with Survivor teammates too.

Interesting. I get Midwich a lot lately but I haven't noticed anything being particularly worse on that map for survivors.
For me as Killer it is constantly a headache with the issues. Every single time I've gotten the game it ends up like this. To clarify, I've played multiple games on other maps the same day I took this footage and had none of these issues, or not even close to as frequent or bad as when I get Midwich. This type of stuff happens when playing as multiple Killers and without Sloppy Butcher while on this map (just in case people wanted to point to those as the culprits).
-
I'll never forget during the mini Saw Event we just had, where I was Pig on the RPD Map. Got two early kills without really trying or meaning to do. The last two Survivors gave up and accepted their fates...I took pity and farmed with em....I used up my last remaining traps and the poor Laurie either underestimated the Trap, or lucked out badly and I accidentally killed her with a head pop xD
-
Playing on Midwich ALWAYS messes me up. I swear picking up a Survivor at the same time when a Gen gets finished or if a skillcheck is hit freezes things up.
I've had multiple instances of when picking up a Survivor or even hooking them freezes things, but I think it's that + something else happening elsewhere on the map that triggers it.
-
No. I love how it looks, I dig it's layout and my favorite Killers benefit from it. Play both sides, tho I favor Killer, I've never been upset getting this Map as either side. Losing content also is never good.
-
Barring any likely console performance issues, I look forward to giving him a spin. He's an all-time favorite Horror icon and Clive Barker a favorite writer of mine, so I have a huge inclination to play him. He looks fun enough, tho I do think he needs some tweaks from the PTB I've seen of him.
