Survivors are just skins, and skins get advertised with pictures. Why waste money making a trailer to advertise a static image when you can just make a drawing?

Or they were lying and used other stuff.

This unfolded on another forum that was responsible for spreading the macro. Literally dozens of people complaining about having been banned, all having only the macro in common. I don't think they were lying.

Also, as Madjura pointed out, and as I mentioned earlier, the devs explicitly state that you're not allowed to use macros.

Sure because EGC was introduced to balance the game and not to stop the frustration of killers about having to find immersed Claudettes who refused to leave LMAO
And Legion was reworked just because survivors complained about him "taking no skill to chase down survivors" when he was pretty mindgameable when in frenzy. It was the exact same situation as the nurse, survivors didn't want to learn how to counter him and instead they complained about him "being op".

Right, I forgot to emphasize something else. Specifically, the word "remove". Note that you're using the word "rework", which is not what I said. Go back and read what I actually wrote.

so do you think it's a balanced perk? to entrust the game of survivors on an RNG factor?
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/627912#Comment_627912
no, but whenever the killer has Ruin it is never a fun game, and if you find it right away, the killer quit

The very act of taking a perk is a statistical phenomenon. Therefore, let's get rid of all perks.

Well... Legion was reworked because of survivors frustration, and EGC was introduced because of killers frustration. I'm sure there are more cases. I don't agree with the OP but your argument is invalid.

"If we're gonna start removing things based on frustration, without any regard for balance, we'll be left with no game whatsoever."

In case it wasn't clear, emphasis on "WITHOUT ANY REGARD FOR BALANCE". Did you even finish reading my comment?

But that's not the way to go. If a dog bites you, you don't reward him. You punish him first, and you will reward him in the future IF he does not do that again. If you keep getting bad marks, I don't think your momma is gonna hug you. She will probably chase you around with her shoes as a "weapon". So yeah, camping MUST be punished, but punishment and reward could just be there at the same time. Punishment is the first step though. And about the so called "punishment" already in the game... Well, that's hardly a punishment, or something that doesn't make you laugh loudly.

Except killers aren't dogs, and decades of research have shown that, indeed, rewarding desired behavior works better than punishing undesired behavior.

Which I normally agree. Except this is a case where it's definitely not "a little weak".

Which is fine by me. The Trapper should, in fact, not be a little weak. There's counterplay, it just involves doing something else. This isn't a sandbox game, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and forgo of what you want to do.

Or maybe a bunch of killers refusing to acknowledge when something is clearly broken, even though they already got what they asked for (better totem spots).
Given the track record of this place it's not surprising.

I'm a survivor main, and I think the Trapper being able to trap, and all that that implies, is fine. If anything, it's a little weak.

Setting 3 traps and walking away is not "actively" stopping me. It's passive. He doesn't have to do anything until he hears 3 traps pop. If he has Iri Stone he basically has to do nothing because the traps will reset before you could finish the totem.

Setting three traps and reacting to them being disarmed is actively defending a totem, whether you like it or not. Regardless, as I've already pointed out, the whole point of the Trapper is that he can defend areas. You're literally complaining that a killer's power is good at the thing for which it was made.

Nothing should be impossible in a game. Unless another player is actively doing something to stop you doing the totem, it shouldn't be impossible.
And it doesn't matter how often you go against something if that something is clearly broken. Old Legion exploiting DW wasn't actually that common, it was the mere fact he could do it that made it the problem.
Again I'm not asking to make totems easy to find. They should be well hidden. But not hidden in such a small nook that Trapper can pull this BS.
Also 30-40 matches? Dude do you have any idea how long that would take. At an average of 10 minutes a game that's like 7 hours of straight gameplay, no lobby wait time included. This happened 3 times in less than that time across a few days.

The Trapper was actively stopping you by having set up a clever alarm system using his power just the way it was designed.

This is how you completely miss the point and get caught up in technicality's. Facecamping is what i and many others call it because we dont want to say: The killer is standing still right infront of the survivor making it really difficult to save them without getting grabbed. So instead of a long as explanation for this specific act of camping i call it facecamping. This is starting to get as ridiculous as the gen tapping thread, completely missing my original post...

Or you could call it what it is: hard camping. Your usage of face camping for things that aren't face camping is why, when face camping came back, it took a long time for it to even get on the devs' radar, and longer still to get fixed.

You may think me pedantic, but your wrong usage of terms has demonstrably negative results.

I see noone actually read my posts, im not talking about camping, camping is a legit strat and is smart AND good in somecases, but facecamping (Not the exploit, but standing infront just making sure they 100% die with no counter play) Is not something this game needs or should reward. Rewarding killers for not camping is also something i would love, maybe give them an accumulative bloodpoint gain for as long as the survivors is one the hook and you are 32 m away could be a cool boost. But this flat out unfun mechanic has no place and SHOULD be punished. This would have no effect on normal games since facecamping is not something you do in a normal trial. If you get triggered by a survivor sure, facecamp him to death, but then the others should be able to punish you for it and escape.

Face camping (the ability to prevent an unhook with 100% certainty by blocking the "unhook" prompt) no longer exists. It hasn't existed for quite a long time, in fact.

There's still a chance you can unhook, it's just small.

in An idea to punish facecamping Comment by Orion August 11, 2019

Stop thinking of punishments for camping, start thinking of rewards for not camping. Punishments do not work, as evidenced by the already existing punishment, as well as literally decades of research into the subject.

PS: Face camping is an exploit that was removed.

If you got the average of rank 2 and rank 1 survival rates (PC):

You get approximately 70% which is still very high. However, keep in mind that a lot of things changed from then so I suggest to not make conclusions on this number alone.
Is this what you're talking about Orion?

Yes, except it needs to be a weighted average, since there isn't an equal number of players at ranks 1 and 2.

Highly doubt it's bannable when disconnecting to give the hatch isn't because there could have been a real life reason to disconnect
Maybe there was a reason to go afk in a corner

DCing is bannable past a certain percentage. I assume the same would apply to going AFK in a corner.

No lie, just a misunderstanding. I was only thinking of the "brute-force" method of DCing, which is bannable. However, refusing to engage in normal gameplay (like, say, taking the Wraith and sitting in a corner to avoid getting points and thereby deranking) is also a bannable offense.

The perk is fine as it is but the fact there is no need to run it is what worries me. It was designed to counter flashlights which were nerfed so hard the perk is obsolete garbage now. Devs need to seriously rething their ideas sometimes - if something has a clear counter it should be tweaked not nerfed but I guess after M. Cote got bullied hard in Korea with flashights they decided they were too OP.

Creating demand never ends well. If you want the perk to see more play, then buff it, make it useful outside of a very specific thing which it doesn't even do very well.

That is why flashlights need to be buffed in order for this perk to be used once more and change the stale meta for killers who use only couple of perks along BBQ all the time.

Or, hear me out, buff the perk so that it has some use outside that one thing (which it's not even great at).

I know. I'm saying that there needs to be something done so I don't have to prevent it. I should be able to load into a lobby and get ready to play a game, not be dodged every time. Like I said, I shouldn't have to not bring in items just so I don't get dodged. This Is why I believe a small punishment for dodging is needed.

And I know punishments don't work. See, for example, the chaser emblem change.

Maybe if you'd give killers some bonus BP when survivors brought in items or were playing SWF you could curb dodging, but you'll never get rid of it unless you create bots.

Killers are players too - what's fun for you is not necessarily fun for them, and like any normal human being, they'll avoid things that aren't fun.

I don't see why I should be forced to not bring in my items just to play the game. I should be able to use them all I want without having to worry about getting dodged every time I load into a lobby. It amazes me people are still scared of flashlights in 2019. I really think there should be a minor penalty for dodging. Not as severe as DC'ing, but still a small punishment.

Nobody's forcing you to do anything. It's just a piece of friendly advice based on my own experience with lobby dodging.

Bottom line is, the devs probably aren't going to punish anyone for dodging, so you can either try to prevent it by yourself, or you can play lobby simulator.

Surviving was still a big importance towards pipping back then..... I'm not going to disagree with you... these percentages are only rough... ROUGH estimates.... but I think that 81% is the most accurate since it was a smaller portion of players..

You're wrong, though. It's precisely because the data was gathered in such a way that both the 60% and 80% are unreliable. You'd need a weighted average, which would tell you the (average) survival rate at ranks 1 and 2. That number is between 60% and 80%.
