So you are aware that your friends are talking rubbish and that it's not possible to open a hatch with a key while downed? And you only want an official confirmation so that you can show it to your friends and say "I told you so"?

in using key on dying state? Comment by NoShinyPony August 25, 2019

@HatCreature I believe I said it a couple of months ago: If you really want to get rid off tunneling, you have to remove hooks and let survivors respawn instead. But then, this game wouldn't be DbD anymore. I don't know what the majority of the playerbase would prefer.

in Impossible to counter these killers? Comment by NoShinyPony August 25, 2019

I like the chase mechanic. Flaws in the map design left aside, chases are super fun and the reason why I'm playing this game.

If the trophy is that important to you, you will probably have to wait for rank reset. If you play against brown or maybe yellow ranks, you have a chance pulling this off without Ruin.

in The Game is Not Fun without Ruin Comment by NoShinyPony August 25, 2019

@screamdreamsx @Freudentrauma It's not that hard to be aware of the gens' locations on a map. But if players feel that's it's too difficult (maybe since they are new to the game), they can run Déja Vu.

Tactical aspects are part of the game. It's part of the survivors' job to do gens in the right order, avoid getting hooked in the basement, not go down near a gen that's almost finished etc.

In my thousands hours of playtime, I had one single match where the spawn was so unlucky for us survivors that we were not able to win against the killer's 3-gen-strategy, even though we noticed from the start of the match that the killer was defending these 3 gens. And if it had been any other killer than a Doc, we probably could have gotten one of these gens repaired.

Super-extreme spawns like that shouldn't exist, but let's be realistic - in 99% of the matches it's the survivors' fault for not paying attention.

in Does the Swamp need the Badham treatment? Comment by NoShinyPony August 25, 2019

@screamdreamsx The advantage/disadvantage doesn't depend on the timing of the game. It depends on whether the survivors are aware which gens they have to do so that they don't end up with a 3-gen-situation. It's like that on a lot of other maps as well.

It’s less the proximity and more the placement. 2 generators on a raised platform above a solid loop seems somewhat ridiculous.

So you are not complaining from a survivor's perspective that the gens spawn too close, you complain from a killer's perspective that a solid loop is close by?

There’s pretty close and then there’s two spawning on a single raised platform

You have gens spawning that close to each other on other maps, too. As I wrote above: Pay attention, don't do gens blindly, then you won't have a problem in the endgame.

in Does the Swamp need the Badham treatment? Comment by NoShinyPony August 24, 2019

Repair gens with another survivor. It's not as efficient and not smart from a tactical point of view, but it will give you significantly more points than working alone on a gen.

in points for doing generators Comment by NoShinyPony August 24, 2019

There are a lot of maps where gens can spawn pretty close to each other. It's the survivors' job to pay attention and not leave these gens for the endgame.

@PolarBear My bet is you will go down.

in SECOND WIND AND INNER STRENGHT QUESTIONS Comment by NoShinyPony August 23, 2019

@PolarBear Good point. "Injured" state is not Deep Wound state, so it probably won't work with Inner Strength.

The perk description of Second Wind lacks the part with "while injured", but my guess is that the description simply isn't completed and it won't work either.

in SECOND WIND AND INNER STRENGHT QUESTIONS Comment by NoShinyPony August 23, 2019

Not a meta build, but a fun build.

Being forced to play a kind of rhythm game would get tiring pretty quick. I can kind of ignore the skill checks we currently have, but if I had to play a rhythm game over and over again, I would end up despising gens.

(And I say that as somebody who likes to play rhythm games.)

in Skill checks Comment by NoShinyPony August 23, 2019

An interesting question since the perk description doesn't mention healing one stealth state but healing to the healthy state.

I don't really believe it, but if the perk description is correct, then you would get healed from Deep Wound to healthy.

Kind of depends on how close you are to the hook and a lot of other things, doesn't it? One gen left, survivor is about to die on hook. One stays to finish the gen, one runs over to the hook to pause the timer, one goes to open the exit gate.
Never said it was a good perk, but it has its uses.

If the killer camps so hard that an unhook is not possible, it's still more time-efficient for the survivors to repair the gen together.

The occasions where this perk would actually be useful are so, so rare that it just doesn't make sense to run this perk.

@Johnny_XMan said:
Many times people have often misjudged how much time they had to unhook.
Either because The only person not on a gen was being chased, or by the time they got close killer was already coming back.
I could see this perk being slightly more useful than kindred...being that even in SWF camping is a thing and those extra seconds could become useful if backup is needed.

The thing is, misjudging the remaining time for an unhook usually happens when solos play together, not so much with SWF. And when I'm too far away from the hook to make the save in time, I'm not wasting any time going there.

Solos don't know that their teammate is running Camaraderie. If they knew, they would go for the save, knowing they will make it with the additional 14 seconds. But since they don't know, they won't go to the hook.

in Someone Please Explain the Point of Comraderie to Me Comment by NoShinyPony August 23, 2019

That also means no BT, DH/BL, Adrenaline, Unbreakable. I'm fine with it.

And insta-heals should get adjusted anyway, the perk build is not relevant.

in Inner strenght / Ds / head on / Q&Q + insta heal Comment by NoShinyPony August 23, 2019

@Thaznar That would lead us to a lot of new questions. How close is the killer allowed to stay to the hook? How many seconds is he allowed to stay after he hooked the surv? Is he allowed to come back to the hook after leaving?

Also, campers already lose their games if they don't get feeded by the survivors, but that's another topic.

@NMCKE said:
It's really not a bad perk, but I do see where you're coming from because the killer, camping or not, will know to comeback to the hook when the timer pauses.
Therefore, I wanna see the timer slow down by 50% for 20/25/30 seconds so the killer will really have to pay attention to your timer. Also, don't worry, you're still getting the same benefits as the original version (it's 1 second better than the original version), but you're getting a slow instead of a pause.
Mathematics: For every 1 second that passes in the game, you lose 0.5 of a second on your hook timer. :)

Imagine a survivor is in their 2nd hook phase for 55 seconds already. Now another survivor comes close and triggers Camaraderie. What happens now? The remaining 5 seconds go at half speed?

Also: Think of the survivors who play solo. It should be clear to them that Camaraderie is active. A paused timer is clear to recognize.

In any case, I don't think Camaraderie is a good perk. I won't run it.

in Someone Please Explain the Point of Comraderie to Me Comment by NoShinyPony August 23, 2019

@RoKrueger You don't have to be a SWAT team to have a huge advantage over the killer. When I play SWF, we don't bring items and (except for BT) we also usually don't run those perks which are often considered "too strong".

We don't run strong builds and I would never consider us a SWAT team. Yet the killers have a hard time and usually lose.

in The problem with DBD balance isn't "Gen Rush" or "OP Killers". I Know the problem and the fix! Comment by NoShinyPony August 23, 2019

@brokedownpalace If the killer camps hard, the time is better spent doing gens instead of running to the hook to trigger Camaraderie.

Just walking, and only if you are not injured.

I see it similar.

in Someone Please Explain the Point of Comraderie to Me Comment by NoShinyPony August 23, 2019

Insta-heals are currently too powerful since they can heal one or two full healthstates in front of the killer. For better balance, they could require a small channeling for like 4 seconds. This way, they would still be a great time-saver, but they couldn't be used in the middle of a chase. In exchange, the insta-heal wouldn't have to consume the medkit.

But didn't they say surge is pretty much kicking multiple gens at the same time?
So wouldn't Overcharge and Pop goes the weasel work with it?

The first problem is that Surge only affects gens that are being repaired within 32 meters. Survivors will try to avoid going down to close to unfinished gens.

And PGTW and Overcharge are triggered by a killer kicking the gen, so they won't work with Surge (except the devs change the perks). However, Surge and Surveillance should work together.

in We do not need anymore generator related perks for survivor, who else agrees? Comment by NoShinyPony August 23, 2019

@Hoodedfengm1n Not really, in my opinion.

Surge can indeed be good against not-so-well coordinated teams. But if the survivors pay attention and don't go down close to a gen, this perk is not useful. (Except for matches on The Game and Léry's where everything is close to each other anyway.)

I see Cruel Confinement and Mindbreaker as even less of a use. Always ask yourself: Would I unequip one of my perks do run any of the new perks instead? It's a no from me.

You won't be able to combine Surge with PGTW. PGTW explicitely requires the killer to kick the gen. But Surge and Surveillance should work together.
