@centren well I guess I'm a nectar hog. I got 5 as survivor and 6 as killer so far. I think getting at least 10 vials a day is pretty easy as long as you don't get insane wait time in the lobby.

I have 30 as a survivor, So Chaotic please, hold my beer.

I play DBD survivor mostly and I like it how I need to do objectives, save people and escape. I have no want for these canker so I just want to play the game normally but this is not happening and often find I am the only one willing to do gens. Also getting killers message saying farm game. No I want a normal game. Just wish there was a way we could opt out or just play normally

Sorry to be this guy but my guess is you haven't played during an event before because if you haven't realised that this is the norm every time an event happens then I have no idea what rock you've been living under

Can we get that as a skin for her please?

Fun trivia the Angry Princess is one of very few female horror villains to be as undressed as The Spirit, another in recent memory would be the Wendigo of Until Dawn.

For me personally, I get where you're coming from, but if I just think about the first time I saw the Spirit, my thought process was more along the lines of "wow, amazing, I think this is the creepiest and most well-designed killer they've ever done. The details in the animations really sell it." So to premise, it is very much a matter of interpretation.

However, I disagree that her backstory has no bearing on how scantily clad she is. As far as I remember, before she died, Rin was crawling around in a sea of broken glass, having already been sliced up with a katana. I feel like a situation like that would realistically shred her clothes as well as her skin, so it's not unreasonable that she won't have much left in the way of clothing by the time she's picked up by the entity.

That said, I think that how smooth-skinned she appears is a little unrealistic. She could have been made to look a bit more inhuman (like the Hag) and a bit less like a Barbie Doll if her skin was more torn up from all that broken glass. If it's enough to shred her clothes, her skin should also be in tatters. It's an 18+ game and the devs have already proven they don't have any issues with gore, so there's no reason why they couldn't have done that for her base model.

(Side note: I notice you mentioned something about wanting it to be accessible to people? I can't tell if that's because you think the sexualisation might offend some people, or that it's too mature for some players, but if it's the latter I would reiterate what I mentioned above about it being rated 18+, and for good reason.)

I do like her animations, the hovering limbs and occasional jittering about are a good touch and drawn from other popular depictions of Onryo (the specific vengeance spirit she's thematically inspired by). Besides her visual design my only remotely meaningful complaint about her (which is almost purely personal opinion) is that she's kind of loud on the main menu compared to other Killers. She's a great addition otherwise and I really enjoy playing her, just not so much looking at her.

In the course of her backstory (which I cover in the video for this reason), one arm is slashed twice, the other once, then her abdomen, her thigh, and then she's tossed through a glass partition landing a floor below her father. There's no mention of what she landed save for it being a lot of glass (presumably from the broken partition). I agree she could do with more glass damage on that basis, it does seem to be very little for what is described as a "sea" and would help to detract from her running around in literally underwear, but I disagree that it would be sufficient to render the rest of her clothes completely absent without trace.

There's also the matter that the underwear in particular doesn't make sense. The Spirit studied at Takamatsu university, an actual place that was founded in 1996, but sarashi are a traditional Japanese undergarment that went out of popular usage in the 1920s. I do suggest that the restaurant she was working at might have had a traditional style to it that would justify older attire, but kimonos don't shred very easily and we should see some trace of it on her (thematically she should be wearing a full burial kimono, which is actually what her most expensive cosmetic roughly resembles). We can maybe speculate that the devs are taking license here, but I don't think it really helps the matter of her being incredibly exposed ultimately.

My reference to accessibility relates to the broader issue that she's a woman running around in hardly even her underwear who was canonically murdered by her father (her backstory even explicitly mentions her father destroying her mother's breasts) and there are already two separate sexual predators in the Killer roster (yes I know Freddy would likely think her "too old" but that certainly hasn't stopped him before, and the Clown isn't explicitly driven by sexual desire but he certainly mirrors and echoes a great number of sexual predators).

When between 1 in 5 and 1 in 3 women will experience some form of sexual assault, and when it doesn't contribute meaningfully to the horror element (nudity and horror are unrelated but tend to get lumped together because they're both grounds for an adult rating), I think the design is just going to be off-putting for a lot of women who might play the game (@Naiad has mentioned not being put-off by it and hey great for them but they aren't the entire female population). We had the Nurse, the Huntress, and the Pig as fully-clothed women, the Hag wasn't great but at least she doesn't immediately read as a naked human, and now we've got the Spirit. It feels like we have done and could do way better.

The 1 in 5 and 1 in 3 satistics have been disproven so many times I'm still baffled that people actually try to use it in arguments.

I think a lot of people tend to over hype how good Amanda is I mean I made her but I could tell you she's really nice but nowhere near what I would call Top tier.

She's A tier at best debatably B tier

Calm yourself. She or he has already conceded that her outfit isn't specifically engineered to be sexy, but a problem still remains in terms of optics. It would be a kind gesture to DBD's female player base if a different skin which contained more clothing could be started out with versus having to be purchased, or as I suggested, an equally exposed male killer, in the spirit of fairness.

I don't thinking equally exposed male is going to go down that well unless they're pretty much eye candy (looking at you Daddy Myers fans) not saying it shouldn't be in the game just saying if they looks like a clown (old and overweight) I doubt anybody would be all too happy about it

It's sad because I really do prefer her kimono look just because you still get the same creepy affect but with a bit of bittersweet elegance to it

Freddy- Not that I hate playing against him but when I was playing as him I had one match on sheltered Woods whilst Darkness offerings were still in effect so I had Squadette group who made the map super dark and foggy legitimately couldn't see anything. Halfway through the match I put down the control to get some food and was like I'm done ######### freddy.
I come back to see all the generators had popped and the aura of four tea bagging Claudettes were showing up and exit gate because of blood warden.

in If you could have one killer removed from the game, who would it be? Comment by Volfawott October 21, 2018

I'm going to be blunt and honest with you.

The reason why Killers only have to do their objectives to get their serum is simply because they don't have the time to ######### about in matches.

Due to the fact that multiple survivors could be doing multiple things it's a lot easier to balance out the objectives with the collecting as a killer if we had to do some random crap it would make it super easy for the survivors just to gens

Damn that is just painful to read.
Honestly I'm not going to lie I give props to anybody on PS4 Asia who is still playing because if I found out that we still haven't gotten the clown DLC I would have dropped the game.

I can't tell if this is a serious question or not. But they were 3 of the first 4 original survivors along with Jake. And Jake didn't really have any interesting lore or memes. He was just the provider of the sabotage teachable which was powerful as hell back in the day, but after the nerf, he lost his popularity. Meanwhile the memes of Locker Dwight, Stealth Claudette, and Dashing Meg are the oldest in the game.

But the legends of Sabo Jake or Jake from state farms
