  • No need to get so angry. Just a discussion.
  • I mean, the two buffs they talked about seem plenty fine so far: make the dream transition a base 4 seconds and self care doesn't trigger skill checks in the dream world. That'll be fantastic for him.
  • Wait so no wraith or Freddy tweaks? The devs said very recently that was being tested for the mid chapter balance. Please tell me it's not only hag and trapper.
  • For those thinking of streaming but feel they're not good enough yet, best advice: start streaming anyways. Worked for me. I felt the same, was fearful of making mistakes or needing to master the game first. Nah, just need a good attitude and passion for it. So jump in and make mistakes! It's all about preserverence.
  • I hope Not, I love the circus music. Devs keep it coming!
  • I didn't know it was that low. I don't look at the exact numbers. I always thought fire up was at least decent 
  • Don't they stack though? That's what I meant.
  • I mean it's down to perspective. I don't agree with that because I face Freddy and can beat him, but can also play him where I don't tunnel.

    Tunneling is a strategy that sadly is the most rewarding of any killer. It's divorced from being specifically a Freddy thing, that's just people's perception. 

    Besides the proposed changes make going after other people to sleep them more worth it. If anything it'll encourage Freddy to hunt everyone down since a 4 second transition and no self care skill checks would be worth it to try and make a slumber party.
  • I'm confused, you reported the killer for tunneling or just upset they tunneled?
  • Been wondering if Fire Up and Brutal Strength on the clown would be worth it. Seems like it's good for his chasing.
  • They said the current fixes they're testing is reducing his dream transition to 4 seconds, and making self care not wake you up. That's a pretty good buff I feel.
  • Nah I'm gonna keep playing him. Good or bad I enjoy him alot. Also it seems he'll get buffed in the mid chapter balance patch so there's that.

    I could say stop playing doctor because of the same points, but that's for other people. I enjoy playing against any and all killers. 

    I mean, who plays a game they don't enjoy? Seems odd.
  • Same with me and everyone I know. Devs, c'mon.
  • Pretty sure they're trolling at this point. They've already told us to F off and deleted the game. Yet they continued to complain about it. Flagged and disregarded.
  • Somehow I can't believe they lied outright. I hate that tactic from producers or developers. Honestly just admit we live in a world where you can't surprise people. 

    But happy to see the clown come true and likely a carnival map?
  • Tinkerer is certainly a weird perk that I would like to see be re-worked, I don't like the idea of a perk which relies on the killer running add-ons to began with. I think a perk working well on some killers and not on others is cool, and should be a part of the game. But like you say, some killers it literally has NO use on, and poor Doctor can only be HINDERED by Tinkerer if anything.

    It's also odd that pig isn't affected seeing she uses alot of mechanical things to manipulate her ability. 

    I've always seen tinkerer as a perk that should affect physical mechanics at the very least, whereas with wraith or nurse or even Freddy, their powers and add-ons tend towards a more mystical approach.

    Also HAI DRAK
  • It truly is. Slowly but surely this will be a great year for the game. Not only loads of new content but targeted balance fixes and changes to killers and perks we really need.

    Last stream they said the mid balance patches between chapters would be having killer updates and changes, with Freddy next.
  • It's not a guarantee though. Has any confirmation come out? For the record I've been suspecting the same thing since I saw the photo but we don't know yet.
  • I hope a huntress cosmetic is one where she has an antler deer skull for a mask. Would love to see wicked curved antlers on her 
  • Keep in mind this isn't new, Overwatch doesn't release new characters to test on console at the same time. It's next to impossible to have any form of PTB on consoles as it's been said, Microsoft and Sony don't just let anything on their.

    In fact I recall the devs of Overwatch outright sharing their communication somewhat with the console companies and it's due to overprotective measures. The consoles want to triple check any content update or any updates before it goes live so it doesn't mess with their systems. 

    As such it's just easier to wait 3 weeks once it's been tested on PC and then ship it. It won't change. I'm sorry it's annoying console players but this is how the industry and current state of technology operates.
  • A lot of survivors (myself included) want to DC as soon as they see a doctor. The doctor is not underpowered nor is he overpowered. He’s just annoying. Sure, his ability to shock survivors and prevent them from performing certain actions is semi ok, but the thing that’s most annoying is how he is able to find survivors without even looking.

    I’ve seen survivors just roast the killer because they played The Doctor and don’t like the doctor.
    I get the urge to do so, but why don't people just let themselves die on hook? It's just as fast, gets you points and better yet you don't risk yourself getting banned.

    I know they haven't gotten super great at bans but they're trying and at least you left the game on better terms, right? Alot of disconnects tend to happen midway in a game, so they did collect some points. Idk just seems a waste.
  • For all intents and purposes the Entity appears to be as powerful as it needs. It is likely an Old One, or a lesser Great One, much like Cthulhu. I don't mean to say that it directly ties to the Lovecraft Mythos but it's very clearly inspired by it in some way.

    It's intentionally vague, alien and misleading. We only catch glimpses of some of it's forms. It can reach into any realm, but remains limited by it's own twisted logic. In some ways one could say it's beyond Good or Evil, merely Is.

    Personally I love that. A being that can't ever be broken or fought, yet isn't truly evil as it aids the survivors as well as the killers. 

    Praise the Entity, for we shall be delivered into the Fog.
  • I imagine the Entity would tease them by revealing an old computer lab, dilapidated and covered in mold. However, the dim light and humming of ancient 90s computers continuously drone on in the background.

    As the survivors enter, a brief moment of hope that they can outwit the evils of the fog to utilize technology and contact help, only to realize it's another trial, another realm and another killer that stalks them in the halls......
  • Also I recall they said they pull from a large but fixed period of time. Something like 1800s to current time. Maybe earlier. 

    Granted it's subject to change but that's something to keep in mind. Also I do believe they pull from different dimensions, hence Bill from Left 4 Dead mixed in with Laurie from Halloween.
  • It's not the most toxic community, but it's still pretty bad. Go to any dbd player's steam profile(including mine), and you'll see tons of people just commenting insulting stuff. I always keep my end game chat closed because I can honestly can't handle negative online interactions. I just can't stand having that negativity in my life. It almost feels like every time I open the end game chat it's always someone saying stuff like "reported for camping" "noob killer" "Skrub player needs crutch killer to win". It's even gotten to the point where one of the most "popular" players is toxic. Someone who bullies obviously new players, exploits, and gets his fans to mass report people is one of the biggest names in this community. I honestly don't even want to say his name, but I'm pretty sure you know who he is.

    It's not all terrible obviously. I've met friendly and funny people through this community, but the competitive nature of the game can bring out the worst in people.

    Man I hate hearing of this. It does suck when people are being treated like garbage for merely playing a game.

    Ya know, anyone is free to friend me and chill if you ever like. I joined the game to make friends and hope we can all try to be friendlier to one another. Praise the Entity, you do it's work well my friends.
  • I've been wondering this myself. Since we're going to see it all anyways I'm surprised they chose a teaser and not a full video. 

    Unless the perks being used are subject to complete overhaul and redesign, but given how close we're at to the anniversary release date I would think the only changes we'd see would be number tweaking.

    I hold some hope we get something tomorrow.
  • I think what would help, and I've heard it echoed here, is increased time to fixing gens. Part of the reason long chases are bad is because it's very quick and easy for the other 3 people to fix gens. If they slowed down the time there it could help slow the game down.

    Besides, at higher ranks especially, hex: ruin starts to become nessecary and this could also help solve the issue of ruin being a needed perk.

    Just my thoughts, the new changes to encourage mind games though will be helpful.
  • It's weird how doctor tends to cause more cases of survivors being dicks then others. Personally there's not much that can be done, my trick is to always take the high road. Sometimes the survivors are just giving knee jerk reactions and realize you're a nicer player so they apologize, which has happened to me. 

    Or sometimes they are truly disturbed, in which case bid them gg and move on to the next one. But rest assured, you're doing the Entity's work my friend.
  • I prefer the more lovecraftian approach they have that the only true escape as survivor is to give in and become a killer. All feeds the ENTITY.....praise the Entity.
  • I think the issue is we're getting cross info. The card and their words on it seem to be a power based on severed fingers, but the teaser hints to a killer tossing a jar of gas or mist or such.

    In either case I'm wondering if it'll be more like a jiangshi type killer.
  • Wearing only the clothes I have on my back? I'm only in my underwear rn and I have asthma. I'm going to die.

    New survivor skin for 100 auric cells confirmed.
  • I'd never leave the campsite. It's a cozy campsite. Ya. Cozy. And warm. And......safe
    ....
  • Most survivors are toxic and biased, while most killers are unhappy, negative and dislike the game (all for a good reason). Sure, you can, here, tell me you're not toxic, but 80% of the survivors t-bag and flicker their flashlights, so what's the point of saying it?

    True and I'm sorry to hear you've had such a bad experience. I know what's it like, heck had a killer match where every survivor spouted racist words at me for winning.

    But I find connecting with people and making friends in the game helps alleviate the issues a bit. As a survivor it's helpful so you can do kyf more or even a fun team. As a killer it'll help to chat and practice or at least vent the frustrations.

    Sad thing is jerks will be on any game, all we can do individual is try our best.
  • Since I'm prestiging him i don't have the build ready, but I main Freddy with bbq, nurses, monitor and abuse and noed or bloodwarden. I call it my wallhack build because I can track almost anyone anytime hehe.
  • It's worse when people self care right in front of you since they dropped a pallet. Feels disrespectful of the threat (or lack thereof) of the killer.

    That said apart from agreeing with self care not affecting dream state, I notice one big contentious issue with Freddy is his aura tracking. Perhaps if they reversed it, so he only sees people's auras when within his terror radius as opposed to out of it. Makes for more tactical approach on both ends. Would make it harder for Freddy but it means he runs distressing over monitor and abuse really.
  • Personally I'm trying to do my part in welcoming new players. As killer If i notice people clearly brand spanking new to the game I immediately tone down my skill, where I still hook and down them, but maybe I miss my strikes a bit more or get looped really easily or forget I saw someone attempting to hide. Then I hope to chat with them.

    That said I do hope people enjoy and pick up this game, is such an amazing game and I'm thankful it exists. But that's me coming from a horror movie fan background.
  • Another aspect we have to account for is that any forum for any game is only one side of the situation in terms of complaints and being unhappy. World of Warcraft forums for example are generally filled with the same thoughts and mentalities I've seen on Reddit and elsewhere.

    Not that the thoughts aren't right or valid, just that it can be easy to see the doom and gloom sometimes and feel that no one enjoys their experience, where in fact there's a silent majority that seems fine with it.

    My takeaway here is, sure, listen to feedback and opinions on the forums, it's important. But don't make them the only voices for the community.
  • Wait so is this image not the upcoming killer and in fact a ringmaster killer in the future or it is the killer coming and ringmaster was confirmed for a different killer?

    I only recall them saying there isn't a ringmaster.
  • Something about hag is interesting to me. I love an animalistic killer who also uses voodoo magic to murder her prey.
  • Hello Everyone! I'm so excited for forums officially now. Since its more tied to the Devs as a whole as well.
  • Best experiences honestly is when people are friendly in the post chat after and sometimes I end up making new friends.

    Also when I murder 4 people.....
  • Personally I'd love to see a bit of half and half with a concept: The Cenobite. However the actual design would be an original character, just using the lore and concepts from Clive Barker. A killer focused on pain mechanics to some degree. Would need work but that would be cool.
  • Personally I find the community to be fine. The level of toxicity currently is more akin to any game out there atm so it's nothing special. I know I personally go out of my way to be friendly to others and our discord community strives for that so it's something. We all can do our little part.
  • Freddy for sure, with leatherface and pig tied for second. Freddy needs some work but I love the character.
