You say this like killers don't tunnel on midwich and coal tower. I'm not saying they shouldn't make red forest smaller but acting like tunneling will vanish if they shrink the maps is just ignorant. Tunneling will always happen because it will never not be the easiest way to win.

in Tunneling is the meta, thanks to the devs. Comment by Xendritch March 2, 2023

I gravitate towards m1 killers just because it let's me enjoy more characters, I feel like m2 killers you gotta learn and put a ton of time into mastering to do well with and then keep playing them so you don't get rusty.

There's no m2 killer I enjoy enough to really do that with when I can go from Clown to Wraith to Dredge to Cenobite without too much trouble and enjoy that variety.

in Do you still genuinely main M1 killers? Comment by Xendritch March 2, 2023

Bro really said I worked real hard playing a video game and completing a rift you can finish just by playing the game on a remotely consistent basis.

For Survivors I would get rid of Feng cuz then maybe other characters could actually get cosmetics.

For killer I would get rid of Blight cuz I find them boring and never having to deal with compound 33 again would be awesome.

in If you could get rid of one survivor or killer which one would it be? Comment by Xendritch February 24, 2023

Yeah although I don't know these changes do much to change her place in the tier list rather than just be QoL changes that make her feel better to play.

I woulda put her top of C before and I'd still put her there as of right now.

in What do you think about the changes Comment by Xendritch February 24, 2023

Yeah it was a niche perk that could have been alright but got changed cuz all the people that don't understand game design chirped loud enough and now we got another trash perk instead.

Awesome.

in Is anyone else sad over the Background Player changes Comment by Xendritch February 24, 2023

I won't but I didn't like using it before anyway and anyone that thinks it's bad now literally can't do math.

Assuming you get at least two gens every time that's 18 seconds of regression minimum. Old Pop was 20 seconds and you can get more Eruptions over the course of the game than you can Pops.

in Do you think Eruption will still be used after the update? Comment by Xendritch February 23, 2023

in Can't wait for the 3-gen Merchant Comment by Xendritch February 23, 2023

I feel like if anything they tried to buff her for chase and made her way worse at 3 genning. Being able to always hack drones after 10 seconds claw trap or no nerfs her 3 gen game by a ton.

I don't know why we're celebrating the continuation of kicking gens constantly like a bot meta but okay.

in YAY Eruption is back! Comment by Xendritch February 23, 2023

Any time I would run lightborn I would just use Franklin's instead. Why just say no when you can take the toy away instead and have them rage over it? Seriously the number of people that flame in postgame chat over Franklin's even if they escape is hilarious.

in Run Lightborn every match Comment by Xendritch February 23, 2023

You know how everyone hated on Skull Merchant during the PTB for being a territorial killer that was good at 3 genning? Yeah Hag was the Original. Playing defensively and dragging out games is not something most people like.

in What happened to Hag Comment by Xendritch February 23, 2023

In theory it works but in practice it shouldn't do anything meaningful as if they get hit twice in the 12 seconds after the heal something went massively wrong.

I guess the 12 seconds of speed gets them to a gen faster? But then we're only talking about saving 2-3 seconds on gens if you're lucky.

in Does Borrowed Time continue to work once fully healed? Comment by Xendritch February 23, 2023

Pinhead has way better perks if that's a thing you care about. Otherwise it's just preference as they're both strong killers.

Do you want to slow down games to a crawl and have a mechanic to care about other than gens to manage? Pinhead

Do you just wanna be ultra aggressive and go zoom? Wesker

Or put another way if you want strong 4v1 choose Pinhead if you want strong 1v1 choose Wesker.

in Pinhead or mastermind ? Comment by Xendritch February 22, 2023

At this point I feel like it's safe to assume you struggle against every single killer. Also that's not how Slinger works the spear can't actually down anyone, Slinger has to reel you in then let go and then has the ability to m1 you it's not all part of one action.

in How is Deathslinger's reel in attack not a special attack Comment by Xendritch February 22, 2023

I'm really torn on DH, I don't think DH is broken in any way it just creates a boring gameplay loop and it gets repetitive seeing 3-4 DHs every game. That being said the games where nobody brings DH are so easy for me I get why everyone brings it. Ultimately I feel like the fix for DH is for BHVR to make exhaustion perks that are just as good as DH but less annoying to play against but I don't know how you do that, Background Player isn't it and Blood Rush is interesting in that it pushes people to SB but idk if that's gonna be enough.

in Starting to not care about the DH discussion Comment by Xendritch February 21, 2023

I see Dwight, Ace, and Claudette as p100 the most. I haven't leveled survivors much, the highest anyone is is Yun-Jin at p11 but there's nobody I really wanna p100, maaaaaybe Thalita when she comes out.

in What survivor do you usually see as prestige 100? Also, which survivor are you prestiging to 100? Comment by Xendritch February 21, 2023

I mean I feel like Trickster was received almost as poorly with a ton if "this doesn't belong in DBD" threads. But the game survived and we got Resident Evil right after so you know this one may not have been for you but anniversary is usually more universally well received last few have been Dredge, Nemesis, Executioner and Ghost Face so usually doesn't disappoint.

in Will BHVR respond to the discontent regarding Tools of Torment? Comment by Xendritch February 21, 2023

We'll see, I had some suspicion of this after overzealous was listed as part of the mass perk change before roots of dread was even out. But we know what changes are supposed to be coming so if there's nothing besides what we've seen we'll more or less have confirmation the ptb is only for marketing purposes.

in Why has the PTB just been relegated to being nothing but advirtisement. Comment by Xendritch February 21, 2023

I mean what we got is more in line with what DBD usually goes for but I like the ptb version much more as it's more more unsettling. DBD tries too hard to be intense with it's music sometimes and it's to it's detriment, having something be disturbing and weird can make for good chase music as well.

in Why Was The Silent Hill PTB Music Scrapped/Altered? Comment by Xendritch February 21, 2023

It's less that Iron Will is bad and more that there's not really any reason to use it over Off the Record, yes it has the condition of being hooked first but it's 80 seconds afterword which is a long time and gives you the full 100% and you can use exhaustion perks with it.

in Iron Will Is Underrated Comment by Xendritch February 21, 2023

It's highly subjective but if you consider all add-ons you get weird results like A tier Myers and Clown and obviously nobody thinks either of those killers are A tier. But at the same time pretending add-ons don't exist is silly when they're a part of a killer.

I personally average it out and only consider everything up to greens ignoring purples and reds since that's when you get to you're almost playing a different killer territory where as browns to greens are base stat buffs usually.

in If a killer is only decent with *one* specific add on, would you class them as a good killer? Comment by Xendritch February 20, 2023

When I first started playing and didn't know what I was doing I loved looting builds and turning basement into my own personal shop.

Since I guess around MMR being a thing I've played more seriously and just sit on gens nonstop every game since I don't mind and most people don't like doing gens.

I kinda miss my looting build thinking about it though back when it was actually night on coldwind and nobody really took the game seriously and there wasn't really a meta. Now I feel like I'd get flamed for it lmao.

in Which role do you play as a survivor? Comment by Xendritch February 20, 2023

Considering the music is how a lot of survivors identify the killer early on I don't think it's a good idea.

in Purchasable Killer Terror Radius Music Comment by Xendritch February 20, 2023

Garden of Joy for me, too big the house is a nightmare and the other side has a bunch of badly constructed jungle gyms that connect either to shack or a loop in the street that you can use to get to the house it just fits together too well for survivors so there's no part of the map that's unsafe.

in Which map as Killer do you hate the most? Comment by Xendritch February 19, 2023

I think Bloodrush is fine it's extremely conditional so I don't see the issue with it. Fun idea if you're scared you're going to be tunneled with it before you can heal bring second wind and heal mid chase activate BR and keep zooming. That's 2 autoheals and 2 SBs in one chase.

If it encourages people to bring SB instead of DH since it doesn't work with as well DH I consider that a huge win.

in You can't nerf Blood Rush by removing the Re-Heal Comment by Xendritch February 19, 2023

I'd rather not acknowledge Corey's existence tbh. I don't hate what they were trying to do in Halloween Ends I just think it was poorly done considering it was supposed to be Myers send of movie they were barely in it. I'm all for more Halloween content though especially if they say add Loomis.

Umm… we aren’t talking about the earth being flat? That’s not even a comparison. We’re talking about DBD… where the direction of the game most of the time goes off what the majority is calling for. 😅
Where have I said you aren’t allowed to like the killer or chapter? Please point out where I directly said that and I’ll apologize. Instead, you came at me saying I’m just crying and throwing a fit because I’m expressing MYYYYY opinion over this chapter, which I think is terrible. How is she not like the knight?? She denies a loop by dropping a drone, just as knight denies a loop by dropping a guard… She protects a 3 gens by keeping a drone over the gens…. Just as knight protects a 3 gen by placing guards on the gens… BOTH of their powers strongly encourage holding W. So please tell me how they are not strongly related in application.
Her animations are copied and pasted. She’s kicks pallets and gens the same way all the other basic killers do despite there being so many unique animations they could have done with a character like that. Her mori is quite literally freddy’s with a drone doing a useless scan.
My biggest issue is she’s another M1 killer with a skill-less power. There’s no skill ceiling to her at all. I put 1300 hours into blight to become how good I am with him. I learned so many things about his power and how to counter certain loops and movements.. I could put 1300 hours into SM and learn what? Maybe better spots to place drones? C’mon dawg…..
I won’t even get into the survivors and their perks. Let alone the killer’s perks.

My point is being in the majority does not automatically make you right. The majority of people thought Twins was terrible on PTB but then they turned out to be A tier and got nerfed several times.

You directly haven't said we're not allowed to like the chapter that's I've seen but don't pretend there haven't been dozens of posts and threads calling for the chapter to be delayed or just not come out at all. Just because you can 3 gen with the killer doesn't mean that's the only thing you can do with her, every killer can 3 gen so that doesn't say much. Like everything you said can be applied to Artist for example when you can drop a crow and make them hold W and you can then crows and gens and force a 3 gen does that make Artist and SM the same killer?

But more to the point you can be very very aggressive with SM's power if you go to the survivors and setup where they are instead of trying to setup a 3 gen you can create a ton of pressure and between chasing and keeping drones up you're always doing something. Watch OnePumpWillie on Twitch or Bazazell on YouTube and you can see the potential of the killer, that right there shows there is a ton of things to learn about the killer that isn't obvious. There's a difference between a killer being not requiring skill and having and requiring skills you're not interested in learning.
