Like I said, not all survivors will want to farm. Some won't believe that you want to farm at all.

There are also still a lot of fresh survivors too. Some of them are simply too terrified or/and confused to understand the bizarre behaviour being exhibited by the killer.

Hello there. I try to Farm but the survivor refuse, they pre drop every pallet, make Gens and leave instand. Even If I Bodyblock and Nock my head they are still scared. What should I do?

I’ll try a few things.

keep repeatedly hitting a generator I just chased survivors off of.
repeatedly hit a pallet near a survivor
regularly spin around really fast on the spot. Bonus points if it makes them laugh.
Every time I’m spotted by a survivor I’ll just do a little stare off with them, then run backwards to see if they’ll chase me.

Unhooking is entitlement now! Shock horror! Now I'll have to get rid of my ambulance build just in case I am labelled an entitlement enabler!! :O

This isn’t what OP is saying at all.

They’re saying whether a survivor gets another chance or dies first hook is completely out of their hands.

So they’re also suggesting that survivors should play keeping that in mind, instead farting all caution to the wind because the “sUrViVoR rULe bOoK” says a killer absolutely MUST give EVERY survivor 3 hooks.

Same. As a rank 1 Survivor I mostly run Diversion as my favorite perk. Head On, and Dilverance. The 4th I seriously just take any other perk that is hardly used. I was using Wake Up! like all last week. I beat Fungoose that week too. It's disgusting how broken Survivor is.

I like Wake Up. I’ll often use it in that same build I mentioned instead of Technician.

Wake Up can be a life saver when I’m the last survivor and killer found hatch first, even when the gates are close together.

Plus i just generally love that if I’m in a chase when the last gen pops, or any other distracting/disorienting thing occurs, I still know where to go, and if nobody else has started opening a gate, I’m telling them where to go too.

You're obviously under no obligation to go for unhooks, but 9 times out of 10, leaving someone to die on first hook will heavily shift the game to the killer's advantage. You have more chance of winning 4 against 1 than 3 against 1.
This game has a plethora of killer perks and killer powers that show it is designed to prevent you from staying stealthed and evasive: Killer instinct, aura reading, noise notifications, volume increase perks, scream perks, etc. It also has perks and powers to prevent long chases once the survivor has been found. The game is designed for you to get caught, so I find the implication that anyone who gets hooked just needs to work on their stealth and evasion kinda dumb.
If you're getting flamed for leaving people on hook when you could safely rescue them, they're likely flaming you for a poor team decision. Survivors do better when they look out for each other and work as a team, hence the huge issue people have with SWF 4-stack groups. Though if someone gets hooked later into the game when people are already dead, dying on first hook is pretty common and that person probably should have actually been less stealthy to take some heat off their teammates.

The issue with this reasoning is that the myriad of ways that killers can counter stealth are never 100% ubiquitously prevalent. I.e. abandoning stealth entirely because they killer has ways to SOMETIMES detect survivors is also not a sensible way to play either.

Survivors are incredibly entitled. They expect that they should get BT every time they make a save. They expect they should get DS every time they are unhooked. They expect they should get to get up every time they take Unbreakable. Most of all they expect they are going to get 2 hooks before being sacrificed.
Then you have the good survivors only getting hooked once, even if that much.

This.

I’m pretty anti meta.

My current build at red ranks is Bond, Technician, Visionary, Windows of Opportunity. Most would say that this is a bad build.

But guess what, I almost always outlast all other survivors in my matches, managing to be stealthy YET useful by doing saves, heals, repairs, and totem hunting. In most cases even if I still die, it’s when I’m the last one left and it was my very first hook.

I’ll check my team mates load out, and it’s almost always the same thing: any combination of DS, BT, Unbreakable, Iron Will, Exhaustion Perk. Something about these perks just seems to cloud many survivors judgement by playing far too recklessly.

@DemonDaddy said:
I play solo survivor and I just don't understand. Where does it state you are guaranteed more than one hook? I was under the impression that you only get 1 and your few attempts to escape it. Anything more than this is due to other survivors playing smart or making a trade in your benefit. If you die on 1st hook, I get that it bruises the ego, but that shows your evasion and stealth skills need more work. The title of "Killer" should explain enough not to expect any handouts and if your not swf don't think a stranger will risk it outside of the BP granted. Everybody gets 1, anything more are chances given and not to be expected.
Killers keep up the killing without mercy.

Thank you. I’ve been saying similar for years, and it’s great to FINALLY see others form a similar perspective on survivor gameplay.

The loss of a survivors first chase could be their LAST for the match. Far too many survivors play far too recklessly and cocky under the false pretence that they’re 100% guaranteed a certain amount of chances.

No. Your first hook could be game over for you, and that is perfectly within the game rules. If a survivor didn’t do enough to avoid the killer in the first place, that’s on the survivor.

Don't forget the vault speed buff. That really catches good survivors off guard, and with my proposed buff, it would be faster than bamboozle

Oh the vault and break speeds are a given. My point was that most players only consider the break and vault speed increases, and aren’t probably noticing or considering that they’re probably making small plays with the increased speeds to grab, pick up, drop that they otherwise couldn’t have made.

There have been tonnes of times 2 survivors have rushed a hook at endgame, i’ve grabbed one going for the save, and before the other can do the unhook I’ve dropped who I just grabbed, and then grabbed THEM as well. All thanks to Fire Up.

Yeah that'd be fun for the killer but imagine it for the survivor. You've worked your gen to some 90% then charlotte comes and kicks it, goes to victor infront of it and if you dare to go repair that gen you get grabbed for free since you can't tell if she's controling herself or victor.
I think it's better to have at least some amount of transition time, a bit shorter then the current one would be ok but there needs to be some to prevent such dumb free hits/downs.

I agree. It’s a small concession for how much power they already have. Once Victor’s locker block, and the exit gate entity blocker extension goes live, they’re going to be in a massively strong spot.

We got to stop using DS before they nerf it. So let’s hold off for a while and the DS pick rate can go down. Switch DS with “For the people” so the killer still thinks DS is in the lobby.

Seriously DS is fine. And no I’m not a survivor main. I do play a lot of survivor but nowhere near as much as I play Killer.

Remember, a survivor can only use it once. Once! So at MOST, a killer can only be hit with it 4 times.

I make an intentional point of trying to FORCE survivors to use DS as early as possible, rather than when the survivors WANT to use their DS for plays that HURT the killer (usually late game).

Someone unhooks in my face early? I see someone again I know was recently unhooked? Someone think they’re being clever jumping into a locker? Damn right I’ll down and pick them up again (or locker grab). If I get stunned, I let them run off happy that DS is wasted with still 3 or 4 gens to go. If they don’t have DS, well too bad for them, they’re going in the hook, BUT i’ll tend to go easy on them after that when on death hook by slugging them a few times if I see them again.

Honestly, DS only has power at lategame or endgame when the survivors are given the freedom to use those 60 seconds the way THEY WANT to. Don’t let them. Take that option away from them early or mid game. You’ll find your matches so much LESS stressful when you treat DS this way, AND you’ll dominate way more matches.

Yeah I agree and then it's sometimes already hard enough to find the Survivor that he pounced on to begin with the Killer Instinct only pops up when it feels like it.

Killer Instinct only reveals OTHER survivors near Victor when he’s latched onto someone. For this reason I either don’t take Victor too far away from Charlotte, or I just accept I’m unlikely to find that Survivor, but at least they’re now injured.

I agree they are fun, but am already seeing signs of red ranks making it really hard to pounce. They will have to fix the pounce cool down and ridiculous switch time to make this long term viable.
When you jump on someone's back and it takes 5 seconds to switch but they can be thrown off in 8, sometimes I don't even get Charlotte pointed in the right direction before he's tossed off. Stupid.

I was originally ticked off at how easily a missed pounce is punished, but now I don’t care. Victor respawns so quickly that I have him out and scurrying about again very quick.

Felix, Blight and Elodie are all playable characters directly tied by the game's lore to Dyer Island. It's probably the most lore based location in all of Dead By Daylight.
Dyer Island was a former prison camp, contains Talbot Grimes secret laboratory, is owned by a secret society (The Imperriati, which Felix and Elodie's parents were part of) and was undergoing a renovation with new buildings and restoration headed by Felix himself before he disappeared.
It seems to me that the end goal of these chapters without maps is to release Dyer Island because many of the characters being released are connected to it. Saving Dyer Island for a later Chapter gives the Devs more room to work on updating old maps and its eventual release ensures that the newer characters won't be left without a map because Dyer Island is connected to all of them.

I wish we’d stop behaving like slugging is this big problem. It’s an intentional part of the game. If the killer chooses to slug instead of hook to create pressure, that’s their prerogative.

Deep Wound does literally nothing to stall the game compared to a down/injure. Taking a hit with BT is absolutely optimal at any point in the match considering you then have DS to protect you if the killer decides to follow up.
I'm not of the opinion that BT or bodyblocking in general needs a nerf, but it is a little ridiculous that a survivor is almost invincible immediately after being ripped off a soul-sucking meat hook and beaten half to death.

It’s not amazing, but it’s better to get a survivor wasting SOME time rather than no time.

It’s always been a a fairly reliable approach for me as killer.

Legion needs a different power to become a strong Killer. You cannot make him strong with the power he currently has, vaulting Windows and Pallets needs to go to make him strong.

I'd agree with you if forcing the Killer to eat a BT hit when they have no intent of going after the hooked Survivor exists.
Because you should totally be able to use the freshly-unhooked highly vulnerable Survivor as an invincible meat shield, right?

Even when survivors do this it’s dumb.

If it’s end game, well too bad, that was likely a lost game anyway. Get your hits and points in, then move onto another match.

Any other period during the match though, it’s just dumb for a survivor to intentionally eat a BT hit like it’s some sort of “my peen is bigger than yours” gesture.

Seriously, think about it. That survivor is willingly choosing to give the killer a bit more time because they’re now forced to find somewhere to mend. It’s only 15 seconds, but every second counts.

So weird how much survivors roll their eyes at Legion, but they’ll willingly take DW just because they got unhooked. It’s actually just really dumb.

I in fact always make a point of hitting who was unhooked (if it was in my face) so that I can intentionally activate DW before turning my attention back to the rescuer. I can now chase that survivor knowing that other survivor HAS to waste some time doing SOMETHING other than gens for a short period. This actually works to MY advantage if this occurs multiple times per match.

They tried a similar test in the past as an experiment whether or not it should just be in the base game. SWF quickly abused this by making sure a teammate would keep the killer within vicinity of the hook.

Just hit them.

I quite regularly get survivors body blocking on my way to the hook. It’s entirely possible to get 2 or 3 hits in and STILL get whomever i’m carrying onto the hook. I’ve even had survivors dumb enough to actually take two hits and go down while body blocking, only for me to still hook who i’m carrying, making what they did a complete waste of their own time.

As for mid chase? Well it happens. Just hit whoever is body blocking and just think about the extra points, instead of stressing about targeting one particular survivor. The more injured survivors there are, the better.

in Make killers able to push survivors out of the way Comment by TheClownIsKing December 4, 2020

Personally I don’t believe it needs a buff, but rather a quality of life change.

Like many other perks that give either a blue or red global indicator next to the perk load outs, Camaraderie should also tell the remaining survivors that someone in the struggle phase has it. This way solo are better able to know that they’ve got increased time on a gen before going in for a save, and can be more cautious on their approach once the additional 34 seconds is activated.

Yeah I'm also upset that anti-heal perks are basically worthless on her since forcing survivors to heal is one of the biggest timesavers for a killer. However this aspect of the gameplay does not exist on her so people pretty much genrush her into submission and then cleanse just to open the gates and get outta there while she gets nothing. It's quite terrible to play as her.
If she's going to get a rework she should be able to determine via addons which effects and debuffs her sickness would transfer to the survivors. Those effects could be blindness, exhaustion, brokeness, etc. depending on the rarity of the addon.
Her sickness should also slow down repairs since it makes no sense for a heavily infected survivor to be able to focus on gen-repairs while they're coughing like crazy as they experience a terrible fever. Her fountains could still exist but they wouldn't instaheal survivors anymore.

At the very VERY least, it should be that the repair actions is automatically interrupted every time they puke and until they’ve stopped puking, kinda like repeatedly failing a skill check without the actual 10% regression.

This would still slow down the game significantly if all survivors refuse to cleanse.

A lot of ppl that playing PTB including me have bad impretions about this perk even the fact that in PTB it was stronger. As we all know on Live servers devs reduced bonus lunge distance from 100% to 60% at level 3.
But this perk is really not bad at all! If you use m1 instead of lunge in situations when the surv's will get a hit for 100%, tokens of the perk don't be used. And this perk is really helpful in strong loops to down or hit a good surv quickly in the situation when you probalbly spend a lot of time to reduce distance without that perk in loops like TL walls, jungle gym, the shack, fun bus e.t.c.
Also, it really fits on killers that have a secondary ability that punishs survivors. Especially it can be very strong, even tier 1 perk, for Plague (but I need to test it). Can be really useful for m1 instadown killers too. For Example, the Shape (Myers).
I played a couple of games with that perk on the new killer and this is really can be helpful and like I said before this one will save a lot of time for your side. And this perk is counter any actions to Dead Hard users (Approved by myself).

youre contradicting yourself. Overcharge works on the other 3 gens damaged by oppression, and overcharge will regress the gen no differently if you fail it...

No I’m not. Perhaps I didn’t word it properly.

Overcharge adds a difficult skill check to any gen that is kicked directly by the killer. Failing an Overcharge skill check adds an additional 5% instant regression on top of the normal 10% instant regression.

Oppression will effect up to 3 additional generators after kicking a gen. Those additional gens will either start regressing at the normal rate as though they were just kicked, or if survivors are working on them they will face a difficult skill check that looks the same as Overcharge. Failing this skill check still only causes the normal 10% instant regression.

If Overcharge and Oppression are combined, only the gen that is directly kicked will have the skill check that can incur the additional 5% instant regression, not the additional 3 gens affected by Oppression.
