That's me generally. I make an exception if it's an extremely altruistic team, to try and bait them.
End game, the survivor annoyed me/was toxic, as bait in specific scenarios, or if I happen to come back when they're close to death.
For example, I had a match just a bit ago where there was 3 survivors left (one on the hook), and 2 gens left (3 genned themselves, hooked person was near the 3 gens). I was chasing the two away from the gens, slowly gaining evil within (playing regular myers), and chased someone away from the hooked person right towards the very end of their struggle. I was already there, and they only had like, ten seconds left to struggle. So yeah, I camped those ten seconds. Easily secured kill.
See, THAT is understandable. You didn't just sit there for 2 minutes doing nothing and gaining one kill while the other survivors are potentially out doing things.
I have thus far been shocked at the randoms I've been put with, tbh. Most games, randoms suck to be teamed with, but it seems so far, the random survivors are actually pretty decent

Is this another "We just want to have FUN" topics?Survivors can and should rush the crap out of killers who camp fruitlessly. Yours sacrifice is what lets other players live (which is also, arguably, a pretty strong horror theme staple)
Some killers can patrol properly and still maintain map pressure. If they can't? The best way to punish them is by rushing the crap out of em so they wont do it in future games. If you're the one who drew the short straw, just wait you're ~2 minutes and then go join a new game,
Ah HELL no. I am NOT a rage quitting jackass. I will never do that, no matter how irritated I am. And no, it's a topic asking why someone would hook camp, taking away fun on BOTH sides.

End game is different--or if you KNOW someone is near. But I just finished a killer match and guess what? Killed 2 of them WITHOUT hook camping. AND had fun. We all did, because of the CHASE. I hooked someone, I took off to patrol generators. Only time I stayed near the hook was when I saw 3 people attempting to rush the hooked one--and even then, I didn't just sit there, I chased the survivors. Yeah, hooked girl got away, but I got her eventually. And the chase was a thrill. No doubt, the players much enjoyed it. I was complimented for being a fun killer.
See, what is the funnest part about slashers/horror games? It's not someone getting killed, it's the chase, the suspense, sometimes them getting caught (Texas Chainsaw Massacre style), getting away, only to potentially be caught again.
When people don't hook camp, this is captured VERY well and a lot of fun. When people just camp the hook until a player dies, it sucks that aspect out. It takes away the most fun part of taking part in a slasher/horror game! Gotta say, because I can control what I, the killer, does, I think I enjoy being killer more. Even getting just 1 or 2 kills seems to give a lot of BP too so--fun all around!

This post is a pretty good example of why some killers do it.It puts your salt overload on public display for everyone to enjoy rather than just the end screen chat.
It's not like I say anything in the in game chat. But when it happens 2 or 3 games in a row, it gets irritating, especially for a new player. THIS is the kind of thing that will chase new players away, take it FROM a new player.
They should punish remaining within a certain radius of the hooks, or somehow reward the killer for actually moving AWAY from the hook and doing what he is supposed to be doing--going after survivors.
I understand hook camping if other survivors are near, but when it is blatantly obvious that nobody else is around, just why?
Frustrating to die like that, tbh. This is one reason I loved Friday the 13th before they weren't allowed to make new content. Jason was ######### powerful as all hell, but there was no need to ever camp, no REASON to ever camp.

The games graphic options are piss poor. Which doesn't help with how poor the optimization is. Dead by Daylight doesn't even run in Exclusive Fullscreen! You can't do anything about it which causes heavy drops in performance.
There was supposed to be an optimization patch released in December that would benefit low rig PCs and consoles but their plans changed and now optimization will come in a series of updates between now and Summer when the game gets dedicated servers.
All I want is exclusive fullscreen and proper rendering resolutions so I can finally play this game on my GPD Win 2.
That is just REALLY surprising for me, tbh. But, it does sound like these will be options in the future? FOr a game about 2 years old though WOW.
On another note, looked up on youtube a beginner's survivor guide, but they all seem to be pretty outdated. Best one I found on a quick search was a guide from 4 months ago--would that still be accurate to the current version, or close to it?
Link the video and I can judge for you. There are ways to do set up as you wish.

Hook camping has nothing try hard about it and only should be done if gates are powered or the killer knows a survivor is around to swoop in for a saveWell so far in my experience it is done literally all the time.

Speaking as someone who hasn't played almost since the game released (I played it solidly for about a month or to, then stopped), I consider myself a new player. I do. It's basically a different game than it was back then. And seeing this #########, scares me tbh. Because I don't think I should have to come across high ranking players, just because they can exploit the system, to derank enough to play low level players like me!
Very scary, and makes me wonder if I will have any fun in the game once I actually start up my first match here in a bit (well, first in like a year or year and a half)

Even casual SWF will know whats happening most of the time all it takes is small something like "he's on me", "Oh killer left me" or "totems here" and things most people will usually say when playing casual or not.
1000% this. All these bullshit "Oh, we only play CaSuAlLy" excuses mean totally nothing. Unless you are playing with your mics turned off and tape over your mouths, that is total bullshit. ANYTHING mentioned over the mic is information YOU ARE NOT INTENDED TO HAVE!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the draws to games like these IS to play with friends. ALSO correct me if I'm wrong, but they are queued separately from the regular game queue yes?
So if you don't like being a killer going against groups playing with friends, just...don't queue on a survive with friends match?
Oh no, Killers got SWF forced onto them.
Wait what?
So I played the game just after it came out, then ended up not playing until now. So I have missed a LOT. But I could have sword when survive with friends was first introduced, they were lobbied separately? #########? It would make sense to do it that way, since in all likelihood they are playing together while on discord.
Wow. This is some Ubisoft level crap right there :ohnoes:

The in-game graphics settings are pretty barren on purpose. The devs didn't want people to be able to gain potentially unfair advantages by tweaking specific settings.As for why it doesn't run in exclusive fullscreen, that's mostly to prevent any crashes related to tabbing in and out of fullscreen.
While I can see that, there ARE workarounds. PUBG manages it, by making settings not effect foliage at all. DBD could do something similar, by not having any brightness settings, and any graphical changes specifically not effecting foliage and shadows. Instead, offer the basics. Antiscropic filtering, anti-aliasing, framerate (having been playing PC the last 4 or 5 years, I DO notice a difference in framerate, especially the jump from 30 to 60 and the jump from 60 to 100+. I like having a framerate in the 100s if I can, it just looks so much smoother.
But aside from that, I really do fail to see how allowing the very basics of video options would give anyone an unfair advantage. How would allowing me to access my screen resolution from the options menu effect my gameplay in any way? How would letting me choose my WINDOWED resolution in any way affect me in game? How would letting me have a borderless window option so I don't have to alt-tab to get to my second monitor to change a youtube video, or reply to a friend on steam chat or discord effect my gameplay in any way? (And I'm not talking about communication with in game people, none of my friends play the game--just people I may be chatting with while I am playing a game).
It's just an excuse for the devs, and the sooner we as consumers stop giving devs free passes for crap like that, the sooner they start to realize they are making games FOR us and we don't have to and won't put up with having a lack of VERY basic options and optimization features that were present in games even as far back as a decade ago!

LFMAO, I actually laughed at both of these; first time I've ever gotten any entertainment out of a ship thread :'D
-
This may come across as offensive, and it's not meant to be. But...
WHY does everything have to have "ships" these days? It is sooo damn annoying. You can't have one TV show, movie, video game, or novel without someone wanting to "ship" characters. Ugh!

So already, this game is leaving a very bad impression for me. I haven't even gotten INTO the game yet, but notice the options are terribly lacking in the VERY BASICS. No ability to change screen resolution in the options (which is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a PC video game), and no option to toggle crouch?
How is it that devs can get away with lacking the very basics when it comes to options? I could forgive crouch toggle, but why in the flying hells should I be forced to edit an .ini file JUST to change my screen rez? If the devs ever see this, come ON; every modern day game has these very basic game options.
I'll still give the game a shot, but that right there throws up some HUGE red flags for me.
Dont even get me started on the options..... its like were living in the last century
Am i the only one who thought about the 19th century instead of the 20th one?
LMAO, there's a sure sign that you are old. Just like me!!
