Raccoon

Playing Nurse on The Game, Hawkin's Lab, or Lery's Memorial are all pretty horrible now with the cooldown.

I've just permanently axed her from my killer rotation - There are too many scenarios where the added cooldown completely removes her ability to cope with said scenario.

in Nurse Talk: Balance Comment by Raccoon November 11, 2019

I just don't use her anymore.

She's literally 0 fun to play as for me, now.

in What do you hear when a NOED works? Comment by Raccoon November 9, 2019

"Imagine that the roles are reversed, when a survivor activates their power every 15 seconds they can go invisible, leave no way of tracking but know exactly where you (the killer) is because of sound, grass, corn etc. Now imagine if this happened at every loop, for every survivor. You wouldn’t want to play. Now imagine this happened more often in red ranks, every few games, or multiple consecutive games in a row. You wouldn’t like GUESSING where the survs go every chase, would you? Now that you have read this, please tell me how, as killer, you would counter the survivors?"

I definitely wouldn't want to live in a world where, at red ranks, survivors can use windows and structures to break line of sight, forcing me to guess/mindgame them while they can still see my red stain.

I can only imagine how painful such tactics would be multiplied by 4!

It seems to me you don't like his post because of how he presents his opinions, instead of what those opinions are. Plus it's not even true that he presented things as facts:
I would argue that every aspect of the gameplay is an act of humiliation, not competition, like you see in other games
What do you expect, that every point he presents instead of being "DbD does this and that" should be "I think that DbD does this and that" :)? It's implicit.

If you play on Steam, feel free to add me.

We can play and converse sometime if topics such as these interest you.

That's your opinion, not mine :). I just stated that it was a reddit post written by a psychologist. Even if he lied, you understood exactly what was the post I was talking about, so mission accomplished by me :).
By the way, why you think he's a lier by the way, I'm curious. Do you have psychological studies background maybe?

Posting it for anyone else that wants to read it.

It was posted from a throwaway account, both "unique" concepts are found in most games with a winner/loser, many assumptions are made about both the playerbase and players as individuals (particularly with regards to emotional states and reactions), everything is stated as a fact instead of being discussed as a theory, CAPS and flowery language are used for emphasis instead of concrete examples, etc.

I do have formal training in certain areas of the field, but it's rather specialized with a focus on criminal behavior, aggression, and death.

there was a post on reddit made by a psychologist that was on point in respect to how the gameplay of DbD inherently exposes toxic behaviour and responses.
You pallet stun a killer? You just humiliated him, might as well tbag to let it sink even more.
You mind game a poor Bill at a T-L? You humiliated him as well, why not tunnel him eventually?
Oh you use Hex: Ruin? Too bad, I cleanse it immediately and then proceed to gen rush you. Humiliated!
And this goes on and on (the post was much more insightful, but you get the idea). On predisposed subjects this pattern trickles in the meta game, that is post game chat, private messaging, forum.. It's no surprise this board sees so many people banned everyday, and rightfully so.
There's no simple solution though - the only way to soothe things would be to elicit somehow empathy, but you can't really do it in this iteration of DbD; there are too many variables, too much asymmetry.
Imagine if a single game wasn't a single trial, but five (with swf banned though): now one trial you are the killer, the next four you are a survivor, and this would be true for everyone. I can tbag you, of course, but that would happen to me as well, how does it feel, now? To camp, to tunnel, to use a key... everything will enlighten those main survivor/killer.
...or not :).
so, @USNHooligan, I can't tell you deal with it, because no one really can deal with something that's so unfair. But I found a very alleviating process to cope with meta toxicity at least (that is: messaging): if they try to mock you, just answer "AHAHAHA ezzzzzzz", if you lost or won doesn't matter at all - if they want to engage, you just won't accept their field with this non sensical answer, and they'll leave you alone.
Don't argue, just "AHAHAH ezzzzz", that's it, they'll lose interest.

I really doubt that guy/gal was actually a medical professional.

Don't confuse the vocal minorities of biased players on both sides with the community as a whole. Active users on reddit, discord, forums, etc make up a VERY small portion of the player-base.

I'd suggest looking at the post history of users before deciding whether it's worth your while to engage with them.

The only real toxicity that occurs in this game occurs via post-game messaging - Whining on the forums can be easily ignored.

Not to mention it has to be safe, and I'm not blaming killers but during end game you usually don't go for the unhooker, you go for the unhooked because they're injured, the doors are open, you have to put pressure on something.

I'm just gonna farm it.

As I understand it, you just need to be on the generator is completed, not for the entire repair. Some of these challenges are also placeholders for the time being and can be changed in a hotfix/through the backend before that level unlocks. We're keeping an eye on the feedback so far.

We'll all be able to see how long it actually takes as things pan out.

in Did the math on the Rift... Comment by Raccoon November 1, 2019

@Peanits

Locking lore / animatic behind stuff like "Sacrifice 4 Survivors in the Basement" is pretty scummy in most people's eyes and will discourage a lot of people from even bothering with both the Archives and Rift.

One of my friends is pretty new, and she's literally having a blast playing as both killer and survivor on the first page, earning rift progression and learning how to do stuff via the tasks. She especially loves that the lore entries are voiced and is super pumped about getting them all.

I know that when I show her the "4 Generator" and "4 Basement Sacrifices" tasks that it's going to kill this desire.

If you reworked half a dozen of the latter tasks, you'd really have something special and fun.

You're 90% of the way there, but you're going to blow any interest in future tomes, and, as a result, future Rifts if you don't adjust certain things.

It replaces another survivor healing you (16s), while still allowing you to move/act freely.

I'd imagine that is the logic behind it.

Top tier? Extremely doubtful, given that she wasn't even tested with the nerf properly implemented...

Fixed an issue that would cause the blink recharge timer to start too early if the player attacks after blinking.

Also, they gave her cooldown add-ons "The Legion Treatment"

Dark Cincture: Blink recharge time modifier changed from -0.6 seconds to -0.4 seconds.

They'll just DC into hatch if they're SWF, but slugging is the correct play.

in Hatch Priority Comment by Raccoon October 29, 2019

Prior to servers, there was a topic regarding survivors being knocked out of their animation and "staggering" if the hatch is closed while/at the same time that they are jumping.

A dev then said that once they start their animation, they should get the escape regardless of whether the hatch is closed at the time of the jump.

It's working as intended.

He was a nice guy for sure, but you know like me he's a little heavily-opinionated and doesn't mince words. He will be missed, though. It's a shame.

What was the point of coming back to the game at all?
"I only came back because I don't wanna be a complete potato when the event comes out."
Yet you're whole attitude is "I DC i really don't care who Im hurting at that point because I'd rather move on to a game that I could get actual points from."
You had a point when you said "Its a learing game, and you'll never learn NOR get BETTER if all you do is slug 4 people on the ground". The same thing applies to you and you won't get better unless you put the time in against ######### play styles.

The first step to farming potatoes is to plant them into the ground.
