dead mans activate when you let go of the gen tho?
Dead Man's only activates if you let go during a period of time AFTER the survivor is hooked.
You should let go a few seconds after you see the pick up animation - This prevents the Scream and the Blockage, after which you continue working on the gen. DMS will activate if you let go after popping back on.
The only way for them to get any value off of DMS at that point is to chase you off or for you to let go on your own (ie to save)...but as the gen is not regressing and you're not on it...it doesn't matter...
It can be a bit trickier when multiple people are on a gen, though :P

Thank you very much for response!
I am really not that good, obviously, and can't consistenly loop killers to death. Otherwise I would get it long time ago. It's just that majority of teammates have them, but they half of the time play terrible (maybe doing challenges, maybe just don't care).
I'll take in mind "dumping" tactic, maybe it help on the next "rank 1" run. Also about "quantity over quality", to flood bad matches with number of games: steam shows me I played 65 hours in two weeks. It's WAY too much for me, don't think I can afford at least the same in future, not losing real life 😄
All and all, it's just... you jumping out of your pants, getting 4 pips of 5, and then: camper-dc-camper-bully-nurse-dc-camper-nurse, and voila, you are at the bottom again. And then people say that survivor is easier role (on Steam notion that survivor is hard is like some sort of an insult)
Anyway, gg, and thank you again.
(I'm not super good, either, no worries!)
Remember....you don't really NEED to escape to rank up your emblems early on!
I only did the grind 1x since the rewards were released and then went back to playing for fun/casually/tome challenges.
I already have the achievements on both sides/most things unlocked, so it's not really worth the hassle to me.
But if you're solo...remember...better them than you :P
Edit to add:
Between you and me, difficulty and preference are subject to change from person to person - There's no universal answer...It is 100% ok to say survivor is hard or killer is hard or swf is fine or busted or w/e....Anyone that talks down to you as a person or gets offended by your opinion instead of discussing it isn't worth the time!

well dead lock isnt as bad as deadmans switch because it activates with every gen, but paired together as 3 perks its annoying, and yeah if corrupt was added instead of deadlock id cry XD
If you let go of the gen before the person is hooked, Pain Resonance will pop the gen but Dead Man's won't activate....you can then continue working on the gen.
If the killer chases you, the gen will be blocked for whatever time is remaining on DMS (usually ~25-30s factoring in travel time) during which time it WILL NOT regress and you can lead the killer away from it.
Dead Lock and Corrupt are the lowest effort/highest impact perks in the killer's arsenal right now, imo.

SOOOOOO I just experienced the new gen regression meta.... yeah deadlock deadmans switch and pain res with bbq yeah its nasty, sweaty and is just way too oppresive for casual players like me. SO for everyone who hates this... I understand now.
Wait until you meet Corrupt/Dead Lock/Pain Resonance/No Way Out...
You guys will be besties!

I noticed that NOED always on campers/tunellers. After that just on not very good killers. Wraith is most picked, because he is in the base game and has very easy controls (comparing to nurse or billy, for example). So easiest killer + easiest perk + easiest scummy tactic = popularity.
Second most NOEDded killer is Legion (also pretty easy to control).

A little offtopic, if everybody exuse me:
Raccoon , I hope you're not trolling and ask you to give me some advice. I find it almost physically painful. A made a post about it recently, I'm trying to grind my very last achievement "Rank 1 survivor" and I feel like I'm close to a microbreakdown. It looks impossbile. I have 1200h+ playtime, played killer twice more time than surv, but now it looks like it reversed.
I'm trying to get it this month also, and this morning got my best result and almost, just almost got to Iri2
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/4DGADDTZBJZI/untitled.png
But then: 2 guys disconnected immediately, I depiped. Then I ran Legion for 5 gens and got down by NOED, depiped. Then two guys bully killer and died in first 3 minutes, got at least black pip. And finally got killer that tunnel and camp, with obvious result. Now I'm almost back at the beginning of the Iri 3. And I think in a few hours will be rank reset and all my month efforts again is in vain.
I don't know if you're some survivor prodigy or just trolling, but in my experience is incommensurably harder. I escape 1 time out of 10 (so numerous teammates I'm matched with). I would like to emphasize this fact, because I would understand if I'm competely bad, but I what with other people then, why do they always die?
So, if you're not a troll, tell me, what secret mechanic am I missing?
"But then: 2 guys disconnected immediately, I depiped. Then I ran Legion for 5 gens and got down by NOED, depiped. Then two guys bully killer and died in first 3 minutes, got at least black pip. And finally got killer that tunnel and camp, with obvious result. Now I'm almost back at the beginning of the Iri 3. And I think in a few hours will be rank reset and all my month efforts again is in vain."
Scenarios:
1). You have no control over other people. This happens in DBD (and every other pvp game) and will happen in DBD unless you're in a 4-man SWF every game - There is nothing that can be done by any player to alleviate this, although it bones over everyone, killer included. In the war of attrition to get to Iri 1, you just have to play enough games so that outliers like these aren't the norm.
2). Whenever the killer is super focused on me and the gens are almost done, I'll try to dump them on a teammate. If I've literally run the killer for the whole game (doesn't happen very often, tbh, you may be wayyyyy better than me if you can do it consistently), other players will usually run interference for me before the last gen pops because they want Boldness/Altruism/some sort of interactivity before end game. These other players are completely random, but this is generally the norm for me, anecdotally, not the exception.
Another point about this is that if you're 'playing for pips', you may want to try and dump them earlier, as running the killer for 5 gens and escaping isn't going to do much for your Lightbringer/Benevolent emblems.
3). Easiest way not to get tunneled/camped out of the game immediately is to not be the first person caught. As you rank up, getting people that make plays you can react to and vice-versa becomes more and more frequent (with the odd potato field, every now and then). People will also be more inclined to run interference for you if you're doing well/contributing.
"So, if you're not a troll, tell me, what secret mechanic am I missing?"
If you're escaping 1/10 games, your mmr is tanked and you're playing with players of similar mmr - Being Iri doesn't mean you're good.
You can play chill/casually for most of the month and make it ~3/4 of the way there so long as you're contributing enough to your emblems (you can even dedicate perk slots specifically to healing/gen progression/etc to speed this up), then tryhard for the rest of the month to get to Iri 1 against killers you normally wouldn't even be matched with that allow for way more opportunities to interact with them/the other players.

I don't have an issue with totems and/or NOED in my solo Q games...I also have no problem leaving when it procs as Solo, although it's usually cleansed before it allows for more than 1 down/hook.
If I do run into a crazy string of NOEDS, I'll add some totem hunting to my build.
Crazy, I know.
Maybe I'm just at a higher MMR or something where NOED isn't really impactful...I certainly find playing Solo a lot easier/more enjoyable than the majority of posters here.
Then again, I'm running Self-Care, you know?

And you can continue to play objectively worse for yourself and your teammates and that's okay! We accept equality of all skill levels here.
Feel free to criticize my gameplay in any way you wish if it makes you feel better.
I'm here to help.

Nah, I'm going to do whatever I feel like.
Appreciate the command, though!

The cursed tape only plays if a survivor is within range of the TV, this is pretty great for information and I'm surprised the devs haven't said it as part of her kit, was anyone else aware of this?

^^This
What concerns me is that Self Care levels the playing field for Solo queue. I really hope the Developers are looking at what SWFs, which they aren't and completely ignoring what Solo queue players are bringing to bring the gap between solo and SWF, which they aren't.
Self Care is going to get nerfed which will screw over Solo queue, but that's about what I expect from DBD developers anymore.
I must admit that Self-Care + Botany carries me a lot in Solo Queue...
I think the perk is fine as it is - It requires a second perk slot and/or a Medkit to boost its utility.

It's also one of the top 3-5 perks used throughout all of the MMR numbers looking at the graphs on it, which clearly shows that it's definitely one of the meta perks currently used.
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/HHFKZ36J5ESS/ud7fzcl-5b1-5d.png
Self-Care Care is also useful outside of 'normal' gameplay as it provides you an extra hit to complete your ritual/tome challenge/whatever your current personal objective is that you may not otherwise get.
-
I think Self-Care is pretty balanced as is.
-
I use Self-Care and Botany in Solo.
Judging from the comments I read here, I'm also pretty confident that my Solo Queue win rate and fun factor are higher than normal.
Lately I've been using them with either DH/WoO or Overcome/Adrenaline.
Just leaving that there for anyone looking for some basic/effective Solo builds.

Nah like "I'm a straight man and here's why your take on LGBT+ issues is wrong" doesn't come across well at all.
I'm hoping they give me the option to refund all my Halloween stuff.
I just don't see why companies feel the need to be flashing all that pumpkin and cat stuff around, you know?
There are a lot of people that don't celebrate Halloween, and all these companies could spread division with this stuff.
Know what's worse? The Halloween people have a WHOLE MONTH of related activities...sometimes I even see ads/movies promoting this stuff when I'm doing my normal (non Halloween, obv) activities.
I'd like to emphasize that I DO NOT mind hanging on a hook next to a pumpkin....but who knows what the next guy is thinking?!
World's gone heckin' mad :(

I'm not a bigot and that is not a solution. That is more division and exclusion.
BHVR placed charms and cosmetics in the game to allow players to self-express by displaying them to others.
You have the option to not participate in this expression by not changing cosmetics, charms, etc.
You do not have the option to remove/disable this feature as it is intended game design/monetization/social interaction.
That's as straight-forward and as neutral an answer as anyone can give.
If this is not for you, might I suggest Civilization 6?

They're just being contrarian but don't have the nuance/technique to keep it up.

@jamally093 said:
Simple Dead hard can be used once and that's it because the killer can just ignore it and your screwed as Prove thyself going on a gen and it's done way faster and is perfect for SWF three gen problems. I dislike Dead hard because it's just a waste of a perk slot it's a one use perk I don't get what people see in it I'm just sick of my teammates using the perk because the match ends up with them dead.
You and your teammates will get better and understand the optimal usage of various perks as you play more.

Anyone else deal with a recent upsurge of people running NOED? I ask cuz I play the game every once in a while and we plan on playing more with the new changes being implemented. But this week it feels as if every other game killers are running NOED, maybe it's just me.
Did you escape?
Jokes aside, I don't see it very often....maybe 1 in 5 games.
Depending on the Killer choice of whoever you're playing, they may use it to patch holes in their power/gameplay/skill/etc.

@BenSanderson55 said:
Don't bother, this is a killer forum. Most of them like to pretend they get an amazing 4 man swf on comms in 90% of their matches when it fact it's at most a duo que not on comms. So their arguments will be based off 4 man swf on comms not solo que. Most killers aren't good so come here to complain about how they need to tunnel and camp to win disguised as 4 man swf on comms in every match. Doesnt help well known streamer killer mains encourage this. Here's the solution: switch to Evil Dead succeeds in every way DBD fails.
ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz
Edit - Evil Dead is pretty fun and IS NOT full of people like this guy....don't let whatever that is turn you off from giving it a try.

@BrokenSouI said:
Here's the problems with threads like this. People look to take, take, take. They offer no ideas for compensation. They offer no way of giving the killer new ways to gain the pressure that they need.
You can't just disallow tunneling and camping without looking in to poor map design and gen speeds.
Should tunneling and camping be changed ? Sure maybe, eventually. When this game is balanced around 12 hooks and going from chase to chase. But currently it is not
Removing player agency is the fastest way to kill a game.

Very good. Dredge is great, the map looks nice. Haddie's perks are pretty underwhelming but inner focus is turning out to be better than i thought. Residual Manifest is nice to get a free flashlight even if it takes a while. Overzealous is terrible though, worst perk in the game.
I like haddie's shirt so i ended up buying the dlc even though i said multiple times on the forums i wasn't going to. I have no self control :(

If you're playing solo, there are times when you need to draw aggro, and times when you need to try and drop aggro.
Don't be afraid to run the killer to a teammate in solo, especially if the gens are about to be done/have just be done.
Also, don't be afraid to leave if the killer has NOED, you suspect BW, etc.
Playing alone requires a lot more thought, awareness, implicit/natural coordination (that YOU usually have to make happen), and nuance.
