Holding the game hostage works like this:

Killer and Survivor 'A' working together
Killer blocks Survivor 'B' into a corner
Survivor 'A' refuses to do gens so the match can never end
Survivor 'B' only has 2 options: Disconnect or /Afk in hope that Killer or Survivor 'A' decide to end the match.

in Is this considered holding game hostage? Comment by Tricks July 15, 2020

An 'iffy' spot? LMAO. MoM is one of the worst perks out there. It's so situational with so many massive down sides and such a lot of work for what it actually offers and people wonder why nobody uses it?

Perfect example of killers /crying OP p2w and getting their way the same way Survivors did with PH.

The ability to break off a hook and jam it into your head so you can hook survivors on your head and face camp on the move.

Sometimes a, let's say a 'butt dancing' or flashlight wielding survivor will come to their well deserved end and I'll choose to either farm or muck about with everyone else as a reward.

On PH it's easy to see how many hooks you have left if their affected by rights of judgement because it tells you if they can be executed or not.

The only time this fails is if a Survivor is left on the hook too long by their allies and they die on 2nd hook before it gets to 3rd execution stage. If this happens farming fails and they die unexpectedly by accident.

in DO NOT TRUST "FRIENDLY" KILLERS ! 😭 Comment by Tricks July 13, 2020

Every time PH uses ranged attack there's a cooldown. The only way anyone would not know that is if they haven't ever played him.

On top of that cooldown, PH needs to have enough charge to be able to use it.

You can also tell weather PH is primed for ranged attack or not by checking to see if his knife is in the ground or not.

Make all second chance perks, both Killer and Survivor as good as MoM and the game will be fairly balanced but boring as hell. I'ts a fine balance I guess.

The people who say "Rank doesn't matter" are the red rank players who used to spend hours waiting for matches till the rank system was opened up to all levels allowing for red rank wait times to come down from hours to seconds at the cost of the new player base community having to put up with full sets of rank 1's in brown rank 20 to 18 ranks to the detriment of the health, well being and future of dbd, endangering any new potential player base retention and revenue streams from said new players.

Well done behaviour, way to hand-hold with the high ranks killing your own game in the process!

idk at least Pig can get kills off of her power sometimes. PH just feels like an m1 killer that can drag trails places. Do they do much? No. If they slowed survivors they might be useful but right now it's virtually just for the fantasy of using PH. No real benefit gained until Final Judgement.

The only reason I play PH is to play PH. Otherwise he is a weak killer. But that's what behaviour wants, they dont want people claiming he's 'ptw'.

in PH is probably the worst licensed character in the game Comment by Tricks July 11, 2020

Please do this while I'm playing Slinger. There is nothing more satisfying than harpooning and reeling in an exit gate butt dancer at full health, watching them go down to noed then hooking them to their inevitable doom.

I have a feeling the next killer will be Candyman but who knows. Speculation is always wrong lol.
As for a licensed killer I’d want, my vote goes to the scarecrow or wendigo from Supernatural. (For wendigo, I would want the caves it hides in to be the map)

A bit off topic but I'm wondering why nobodys complaining about this:

It's basically insidious while mobile walking at full speed. It's just mad. Especially on enclosed indoor maps.

in Soul Guard + For the People is slightly broken Comment by Tricks July 7, 2020

If something gets nerfed it gets nerfed for a reason. It's just a shame in this case it took 4 years for anyone to see reason lol.

I mean every killer special ability in game has some sort of cooldown or other. Why would the chainsaw be any different.

in Why are people so upset about the Billy changes? Comment by Tricks July 7, 2020

These are my two go-to stealth builds:

Urban Evasion - Alert - Spine Chill - Kindred (is my standard go-to)
Dance With Me - Lithe - Quick 'n Quiet - Spine Chill (this ones good for vaulting a window silently then breaking into a sprint leaving no scratches) - A bit risky but great for getting out of chases.

Blendette also helps.

I've noticed that. I happened upon a caged Survivor and they teleported to an undisclosed location.

Got that a while ago. Looks pretty cool on Killers hook but really small and hard to make out on Survivor.

Why is it that every time a killer or a very liked perk gets nerfed/reworked in a way people dislike they feel the need to make matches as unenjoyable as possible for the opposing side?
Every... damn... time...
Also this: "Ruin the game for every new player or casual friend group that you come across." is straight up disgusting. Purposefully bullying lower ranks/new players is straight up disgusting and petty af.
Bullying newer players isn't going to get these changes reverted. It didn't work when ruin got changed, it didn't work when other killers got changed and it didn't work when legendary skins (Lisa) were introduced either...
Really shows what kind of community this is if the first idea is to make the game unenjoyable for everyone involved.

By the sound of it this player does all this stuff anyway.

in Protest with action not words. Comment by Tricks July 5, 2020

As Freddy you kindof get an idea about which gen a Survivor is likely to be at based on your distance from the gen (usually the furthest one). It's kind of a hunch just learnt over time which is not based on anything other than psychology.

With PH however the distance and location of the cage is based on programming and therefore can be guesstimated with much greater accuracy. If Freddy can do it PH can certainly do it though at far greater delay due to having to drag that big ass knife half way across the zone.

Is what it is. PH nerf was always going to happen. Just adapt and become stronger despite it all and the Survivors will hate you for it lol.

in RIP Pyramid Head Comment by Tricks July 3, 2020

@JesterClown said:
So I've been lurking these threads after these pyramid head nerfs and I keep seeing every survivor respond in the exact same way like a hivemind. I can get behind the nerf where the cage spawns elsewhere, I cannot get behind the nerf where PH cant see the aura of the cage. Can survivors begin to understand that one low rank pyramid head tunneling people does not mean that pyramid head is a killer that deserves to have their tools neutered because a possible application of their ability is tunneling/camping. An example of this is legion, Legion is not a tunneling killer because his design encourages going after groups and clumps of survivors, not individuals. I wish survivors could understand how much of a disadvantage it is to essentially not be able to see a hook, so caging people is actively giving up pressure now. If nothing else, I wish for pyramid head mains to gain compensation and buffs, Ill make a post later on a pyramid head rework/buff.
Back on the topic of survivors not contributing to conversations, survivors make no efforts to actually understand how hard these nerfs are, to survivors, these nerfs will make pyramid head hook more often. To killers, an interesting killer has been essentially lost a huge part of their pressure, and now has to play the game in a much more orthodox manner. This nerf will not end tunneling, this nerf will just make pyramid head tunnelers just throw you on hooks and then tunnel you.
Now heres WHY these nerfs are rough on pyramid head. This is not just a crippling to the option of tunneling through the nerf of the cage despawning. Removing the ability to tunnel is always rough for killers. The taking away of the cage aura is the worst part. Survivors can still see the cage aura, while the killer cant, essentially making it so the survivors have more information from the killers power than the killer. A survivor can effectively uncage someone and start stealthing and before pyramid head could at least have a good idea that now 2 survivors are coming from that cage, but now by uncaging then stealthing, 2 survivors have essentially become unknowns. This also makrd it hard for PH to properly capitalize on the potential advantage of stripping survivors of certain perks due to the Pyramid head being forced to ignore cages. Pyramid heads playstyle has become less freeform due to this, instead of choosing if to cage or not to cage, then if you should then go to the cage or patrol gens, PH will likely only cage as a last resort when surrounded by flashlights or to dodge an obvious DS. This makes his playstyle much less interesting and makes him play like an orthodox killer more often than not, which if you really think of it, Orthodox is not what you should expect from either silent hill or dead by daylight.
This all just infuriates me to no end. I remember joking about the 4th anniverary killer being pyramid head but threw the concept away because it was too far of a reach. I wanted pyramid head far more than any other killer in this game and I was excited when I saw how cool his power seemed. I find it incredibly annoying for survivors to just try to deflect the ridiculousness of the nerfs with saying things like “Just dont tunnel or play scummy” or things of that nature. Pyramid head did not need these nerfs, at all.

"The taking away of the cage aura is the worst part. Survivors can still see the cage aura, while the killer cant, essentially making it so the survivors have more information from the killers power than the killer" - That part right there omg.

No other killer gets the ability to track Survivors while they're on the hook taken away from them while Survivors get that crucial info which has been deprived from Killer.

It's like PH has a permanent Third Seal blindness hex on him which he can never remove because he CANT DO BONES lawl.

I don't see any reason to use cage any more so I wont be using it.

LOL, comparing PH with MoM is like a little too much.

MoM was considered OP bought alongside a premium Survivor which was then nerfed into the ground, now remains completely useless and unused after countless fans bought the product.

CoA was considered OP bought alongside a premium Killer which was then nerfed into the ground, now remains completely useless and unused after countless fans bought the product.

I can barely tell the difference.
