Probably make a game based on it ;p soley because fiction tends to be more believable than someone's rantings about something completely wild and typically 'unbelievable'.

That's a lot of text to say "make it so he can carry one more trap at base-kit" and "make Logwood Dye slightly darker". Your Bloody Coil idea is actually worse. They scream, even though the disarm noise is a visual notification anyway, and they are only vulnerable for 30 seconds, whereas currently they are vulnerable until healed.

Whispers range is larger. It is also easier to notice activation with the entity growl and the perk lighting up. A single, directionless audio cue wouldn't give any info except "check this area". Which could be helpful or detrimental. The survivor could heal, could run outside of terror radius, could position themselves to hide better or close in on the Demo and not allow the passive to activate again until Deml leaves the area.
Its the reason I made sure to include the word "enters". That way demo can't just continuously hunt a single area and troll an injured survivor.
If you're not injured then the passive skill wouldn't work. It gives incentive to heal and it also would give Demo a reason to drop a chase.
That addon btw is trash. It lets you see injured survivors while only in the upside down. Where your camera is locked and your travel path is pre-determined. Its one of the reasons I never run it and don't understand why BHVR thought that it needed to be a pink addon.

Whispers at Tier1&2 is larger, and those are both unreliable. Whispers 3 is average TR distance (what Demo has - 32m) yet, if you slap this new passive ability onto him, he now will know if people are within 24m of him if M&A is attached, and that is just something an extremely strong chase killer doesn't require. Not to mention, the audio cue would still be distinct and alert the killer to a nearby injured person, it's still unmissable and would make avoiding him harder if the killer knew what he was doing.

So he'd constantly get a notofication every time he enters the range of an injured sod? And even if there was a cooldown slapped onto it, it is still insane to give that intel to a killer for free, just for having them in the injured state (considering, good killev players know how to juggle and rotate properly anyway.)

Yeah, but they could easily tweak the properties of Traversing to make it possible to rotate the camera while being carried onward by the fixed routing.

Look, here's a list of what they should tweak about Demo:

- Rotten Green Tripe at basekit (slightly increased Traverse movement speed).

- Sticky Lining at basekit (slightly increased Of The Abyss detection range).

- Wax and Webcap buffed (Considerably and Tremendously).

- Red Moss delays the audio cue of Traversing until reappeance is completed; Moderately increases Shred range (time taken to hit max is slightly extended too) - not my original idea, dunno their forum name to credit it- ;Slightly decreased Traverse movement speed.

Those would be my changes to Demo. Otherwise he is an incredible killer that not many people appreciate

I'm lost on how it would be hand holding. I'm not suggesting something grandiose like a failed skilled check notification or killer instinct notification. Just a auditory notification like his inherent clicking audio or a ping.
The reasoning behind this is more Canon lore. Demo is attracted by blood so having a passive to know someone is injured nearby is reasonable.
For the other replies. M&A is a entirely situational, it is also is the reason for the 15 second delay in sequential activation.
The portal undetectable is one reason I feel he should have something like this added. The map wide alert sends people fleeing gens or hiding when Deml actively uses portals (not just feigning). Being undetectable with his loud footsteps and most commonly people hiding until it runs out gives me a nice reward of, you utilized your power, someone didn't want to burn time healing but just hid at audio cue. You now know they are somewhere nearby.
It could definitely be tweaked to make it more synergistic was mainly just a rough idea.
going to edit this in as I saw I never explained. the audio alert would not and should not be directional leading Demo directly to a survivor just a indication they are somewhere inside your radius.

Because it's Whispers built into his power for injured survivors. It would be way to easy to locate vulnerable people without any effort or perks required. That's why it is a hand-hold idea.

He has an add-on for tracking injured people if you want stuff to do with lore :)

in A new Passive skill added to Demogorgon Comment by Onyx_Blue August 13, 2020

No, this is would be hand-holding at its finest. All Demo needs is add-on alterations. And no, @AhoyWolf, Demo should never be given Rat Liver at base-kit. That add-on hard carries people as it is. People spam that add-on (with) STBFL and think they're great Demo players, nope, those people are just boosted and delusional.

You know you're basically contradicitng yourself,right?If i am not able to traverse the map while having 50-60% heat it's a huge deal not a non-issue.His mobility is one of his most crucial tools which makes the difference between wining a game or losing it and if even 10% of that is taken away it's so bad for Billy players and even for the more experienced ones and using the chainsaw corectly in a chase rather than looping like an M1 killer is what makes the difference between a good billy and an average one. You have to start revving at the perfect time.If you wait even a second for the chainsaw to cool down a bit it's over,you're not getting the chainsaw in time and the survivor is gaining distance on you.It's clear that you're not so experienced at Billy and you don't know what you're saying( sorry,no offense but i haven't found a way to put it more politely).

If you traverse at 50-60% and expect to be able to chain that into a back-rev or a curve, instantly, then clearly you're mismanaging/abusing the chainsaw and deserve to be overheated. You need to know when to settle for an M1 and when to commit to chainsaw chasing/traversing. So, i'm not experienced at Billy for pointing out that you're wrong for thinking that his overheat is too crippling now? Sure, love ;)

I was trying to overheat my chainsaw with chaining chases and traverses and I didn't; so i'm gonna stick with my observations and experiences that his overheat is still fine.

When playing killer against survivors that know the game, even if they are noobs at juking/looping, they succeed to do all gens in 5 minutes.
Played two times in a row against SWF high rank (they clearly knew the game), and i clearly couldn't do anything, even though i ended every chase in ~30 sec.
Gens finished in 5 minutes exactly (i recorded the game and checked), door opened instantly after.
Found the first survivor 10 seconds after spawning. Got 1 kill + 2 hooked.
Survivors didn't have any chase skill, they did some loops but nothing awesome, never lost my track.
There is a real problem with this.
Ah and, to mention it, i play surv in a great SWF, each of us goes out 90% of the time when we play together. We struggle against high skilled spirit and the hag, that's all.

So, you're admitting here that every chase you commited to took you the equivalent of 40-45% of a generator repair. Yeah, I don't think the gen speed is the issue here, love.

You cannot commit to people for that long "that aren't good at looping or juking" and moan about gen speed if it's taking you that long to down them. Maybe rotate and juggle your pressure near gens as opposed to just following survivors to whatever tile they take you to.

in Gen rushing is the main problem at high rank Comment by Onyx_Blue August 12, 2020

I've gotta say, the chainsaw heat is still a non-issue. It only punishes Hillbilly's who spam the saw constantly. If you've reached 50-60% and still attempting to use it traverse the map, what are you doing?

And if you're using it soley as a chase tool, let it cool down like 10% before revving it again. I was spamming my saw earlier and I never overheated it once.

There is only so much a mind game can do especially when the survivor can literally see through the wall. I play a lot of survivor and always end up chaining loops and wasting a ton of time on these op jungle gyms. The killer needs some sense of control over the chase because right now a lot of it is up to the survivor.

They can only see through part of the jungle gym walls now. Like, literally the tiniest gap in the corner of the locker-side wall.

Lol jungle gyms are not 'op' XD i'm guessing you don't attempt to even do outside of the box plays at these tiles, as killer? You just follow and moonwalk occasionally?

I don't think the game is in a state where any killer needs a nerf. The devs need to stop nerfing killers and actually think about how they can slow the game down so time is a bit more manageable for killers. Before you say I'm a killer main, I will have you know that I play both sides evenly and started playing the game in July of 2016. I've achieved around 3000 hours and I have a good idea of what needs to be changed. Freddy does not need a nerf PERIOD. The only things regarding killers that need nerfing are add ons such as Spirit movement speed add ons and Iri head. Otherwise, the devs just need to focus on slowing down the game and buffing specific killers such as Clown, Legion, Myers, and Pig. Also, some quality of life buffs to solo queue like an emoticon system would be great.

So you like braindead killers that can get easy pressure and easy wins with no real effort required from the player?

Add-ons are a seperate issue, they shouldn't stack as the first change; where it goes from there is something for a seperste post

in Freddy having no cooldown between trap placement. Comment by Onyx_Blue August 12, 2020

That's all you'd change? His Snares are boring and unimaginative. He needs a power that actually has a fun interaction between the two roles.

These should be his changes:

- Slightly increased recharge rate of Gen Projection.

- Once Freddy has began charging Gen Projection and it reaches 75% he is locked into commiting to it.

- Give him his 'beam' back, and make it so survivors tagged by it experience an acceleration in their sleep timer. (Removing the effect of entering Dream World 'falling asleep' when he hits you).

- Suffers a minor stagger/stutter effect when cancelling Gen Projection or the 'beam'.

- Dream Pallets are his base power and it now takes 0.75 seconds to place a Dream Pallet with an additional stutter effect after using it.

- His lullaby is his Terror Radius while awake; asleep is a new unique Terror Radius (also new chase music).

- New add-ons affect sleep time and skill-check frequency.

- All Survivors start the match in Dream World as default.

- Red Paint Brush now "Causes The Nightmare to also appear intermittedly to asleep survivors from 16m to 32m, and is invisible beyond that."

I don’t say the „new mmr“ works, I see the same problem to rating a player by his chases, safe unhooks and so on cause there were so many factors (perks, pallets, deadzones, killed by teammates...). But if you look only at playtime what is for example with a survivor main with 3k hours and he decides to play first time killer or just more killer than before??
I prefer a matchmaking based on the ranking system with a few changes:
make piping for survivors harder, so all boosted player were on the rank they have to be, and we had more purple/green rank survivors for killers on this ranks
remove rankreset
you can only derank to the same „rank“ of the next lower rank color (for example rank 2 max -> rank 6)
At least give us a trainingsmode where player can practice different things like blinking with nurse, using flashlights, discover new maps...
That’s it!

It wouldn't be as general as that, it would seperate play-time for both roles. If you main one with 3k hours and the other dwindles with 300 hours it would seperate the two when you click on the role to play as.

Yeah they could make ranking up harder, but what's the point? Ranks don't matter anyway. If they did that then they'd have to reset everyone to 20 and make them rank up completely. Since people will still get hard carried by safety pips etc

Training mode is still a seperate idea though. It should be implemented

Sorry, but I think a matchmaking based on playtime doesn’t work, because hours say nothing about skill. Sure you can expect some experience but that’s it. A player with 1k hours can often easy go against a 3+k hours player. I only agree to say newbies (-20 hours) have to be matched against the same.

It's impossible to matchmake based on skill in dbd - since there is no logical way to determine someones skill based on in-game criteria:

"Oh, you seem to get safe unhooks and not go down quickly in every game."...not realising that the reason for that data is that the player uses BT all the time and is a W-key gamer that drops early and runs to the next loop without ever looping; not exactly skillful as the data would have you believe.

At least with matchmaking based on play-time, the people you go against have grinded as much hours as you have, does that mean everyone you go against will be really skilled at the game? No. But it does mean you will be more liekely to vs people at your level for the majority of matches in the bracket criterias. Noobs will vs noobs, veterans will vs veterans. The people in the middle brackets will get varied matches but the more you play the sooner you'll be paired with a new bracket of players.

It actually isn't a weakness that survivors can destroy the portals. Because the way you're supposed to use them is to place them for quick navigation and free rotational pressure - placed nearby but not too close to objectives to allow the initial hit and then a intimidating chase to get pallets dropped/broken and/or a down out of it. You also want them to seal certain ones so you get them back into your arsenal to place down in a new area you want to defend/rotate towards later on.

I never understand where this whole "Demo is weak" mentality stems from. He is a devastating chase killer and has a potentially mindgamey navigation function combined with a potential distraction/slowdown aspect to it as well.

Yep, same. Only time I go against good teams as killer is when I vs swf. Otherwise I get lumbered with literal noobs.

And as survivor the killer and my teammates have pretty much just picked the game up the day before at most.

I hate this new system, if it's supposed to take ages to "determine our skill rating" then that's ridiculous. You can't expect players to drag it out for weeks (maybe months) vsing noobs that grant you minimal points unless you hit them and afk to literally farm them (which is stupid and I never do because I don't play the game to be bored!)

in all my years of playing i NEVER saw anyone camping with Devour Hope..
Also how is it camping when you are 25m away ?
Do you even know what camping is. I guess you are one of this kids who trashtalk to others and calling them campers while they were on the other side of the map chasing someone else.

It's in the bracket of it. Since the hook in is in your presence (TR), and you are close enough to spot approaching survivors as well as get back quickly before they heal/peel far enough away from the area. To pidgeon hole camping as literally being next to the hook is an horrific oversimplification. The killer has zero intention of doing anything but get tokens the easy way, ergo, they hover near the hook but in range of the token gain...clearly camping.
