  • They also deranked.  Sacrifice for the others.  Most gamers in 2018 refuse to break a chase, they’d rather throw the game.  

    Good job.  Still impressive.  Who cares about ranking up anyways?  I can’t stand red rank Survivor.  It’s the most unfun in this game.  
  • The only person who wasted time, was you. Also, imagine comparing this game to two of arguably the best games ever made. Yikes.

  • Don’t worry, the games only been out for 1.5 years on console.  I’m sure they’ll have a system soon 🙄.

    I looked at the Xim thing, why would you pay $100 for something to use on Dead by Daylight?  From what I’ve heard, KB+M won’t solve that spicy sub 30 FPS most people get.  
  • Don’t build a computer just for Dead by Daylight.  Build a computer to last you for several years and many games.  

    Tbh I would buy at least a 1070.  I know in the previous post you said it’s too expensive.  You should save and wait.  No need to rush a PC for this game.  
  • Using Distortion, proud of you. You've realized it's S Tier as well :)

  • Change your bind to MW Down.  You’re welcome.  
  • They actually went and made a Killer less fun to play against than Nurse.

    At least with Nurse if you make mistakes, you’re punished.  There is no punishment for mistakes made with Legion.  He’s absolutely 100% the most unfun Killer in the game, period. 
  • Comparing a gaming PC to a console.  Oof.

    It was a console optimization “pass” btw 🙂.  
  • You can avoid certain players from being on your team for 7 days in OverWatch. That is an actual competitive game though. This is a party game :)

  • Because a Killer can step 9 meters away from the hook and half of Kindred becomes useless.

    OoO can be good if you want to be chased, but not everyone wants to be chase.  

    I use Alert sometimes, a really strong perk IMO.

    I have started using Aftercare as well, IMO easily the best Aura perk for Survivors in comparison to Bond or Empathy. 

    Aura perks can be extremely strong.   Not all perks are created equal. 
  • Tell them to use Distortion.  They wouldn’t of seen you then.  People are already shedding tears about auras being blocked.  Keep running Distortion though, and tell your friends to.  It’s absolutely 100% a S Tier perk.  
  • Killer is more fun.  I am trying to play more survivor lately since I have played a lot more Killer the past year.. But yeah.. 9/10 times Killer games are a lot more enjoyable than solo Survivor games.  
  • If you didn’t rank up that much, you can still be reset past 15.

    I love it.  Along with Distortion (S Tier Imo).  It’s so nice not having your position revealed because another survivor was caught.

    I always loved playing stealthy, I don’t like being chased.  Every Survivor should be running Distortion and utilizing lockers.  

    Nah, I'm good. I'd rather not rely on a perk to counter aura reading, even if it means that I end up dying.

    These mechanics give me faith they actually care about the stealth player’s quality of life.  

    Wow this is hilarious. You're only calling them QoL changes because they make countering aura reading perks braindead.

    You’re entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine.

    Why should I be punished because another Survivor was caught?  

    I can say  as easily BBQ is “braindead” if I wanted to.  You caught someone else, hooked them, and now you can see where I am or am not.  Why?  You didn’t find me, chase me, or down me.  Why am I punished?  I played well enough up to that point to avoid you.  Where is my reward?  Thankfully, I have one now.  

    It’s been very nice playing tbh.  Enjoying Survivor a lot more than I did this past year.  
  • To be fair, the guy is an absolute unit. He could definitely knock out most Killers.

    It's pretty broken especially when 99% of aura readings can be countered perkless, it's just overkill give another counter which you just have to equip plus a dance with me into it
    Hiding is not broken.  Stealth is a valid and fun way to play the game.  It doesn’t feel good getting sniped by an Omegablink Nurse or Doom Engravings Billy because they ran a perk. 

    These mechanics give me faith they actually care about the stealth player’s quality of life.  
    Dude I'm talking about distortion

    I play stealthy too but this isn't the way to do it. Urban evasion, dance with me, iron will these are fine but give a free aura counter that you don't even have to use your brain it's dumb, ESPECIALLY when you can already do it without it, it's just overkill

    It pisses me off that they give me a perk that makes dance with me trash compared since it's an anti aura reading with dance with me built in it
    You’re entitled to your opinion.  I never found Dance With Me good, you can still easily be tracked by blood.  Unless you’re running NM of course.

    Since September of 2017 I’ve been punished for other Surviors getting caught.  I’m quite tired of it.  I’ll run Distortion every single game, and I recommend others to as well.

  • Zero issues here.  PC as well.  
  • It is 100% different. Also noticed Myer's tier up is also different, along with disarming Trapper's traps. Not sure if intended or a new "feature."

  • My games today were fine.  Haven’t played much in the past week though.  What I have found with this new patch, Distortion is S Tier.  I highly recommend every survivor to run it.  
  • I have been waiting for the day that people cried over lockers. Thank you DBD community.

  • If only Surviors ran in a straight line for me.. Darn.. It’s almost like they’re called.. Survivors 🧐.  Why are they trying to stay in the game as long as possible?  What a bunch of scummy players.  
  • More excited playing Smash Bros Ultimate, and Last Year launches on the 18th.  The new DLC doesn’t offer anything for me, except Distortion.  Still the same game.  
  • Let's just give people reason to never ever leave the hook.  Two minutes to finish a gen?  The only counter to someone hard camping is to slam gens.  You need to learn how to apply pressure, not create more of a M1 simulator. 
  • When did this become EU NA discussion?

    I lived in the USA my whole life.  Played DBD since Beta.  Moved from USA to Germany this April.

    Want to know the difference between NA and EU from someone who has experienced both regions?  

    Absolutely nothing.


    As far as the original post.  All perks are crutches, one way or the other.  Some more than others.  
  • It took a second to show up for me.

  • Kate 😩.
    Meg 😩
    Nea 😩

    Everyone else 💩

  • Unplayable?
    Since when do you play the game exactly?
    The game isn't perfect but it is far from unplayable.
    It use to be unplayable it isn't anymore.

    I'm honestly surprised the game ever took off watching those. Shout out to the killers who stuck with the game and helped the community grow during those dark times.

    I've been watching some videos from late last year too. While the game wasn't as bad as 2016 there was still some insanely strong areas.

    I mean just since summer alone we've had pallet spawn changes so Badham preschol is no longer unbearable anymore, cowtree shrunk, healing nerf.

    The game is definitely getting better for killers than before.


    Shh you’re on the forums.  You’re supposed to say Killer is unplayable, Survivors are favored and Killers are always being nerfed.

    Oof those videos.  

    Infinite fast vaults.  No Bamboozle.  No entity blocker.  No Bloodlust.  Actually broken maps.

    Playing Killer is so hard in 2018 😪.

    I really hate being the dick to say this stupidly overused sentence but, git gud man. The game is the easiest its ever been for survivor.

    Fixed.


    Yikes.  New player spotted.  You’re more than welcome to join me in 1.2.1 on Wretched Shop.  I can show you a time Killer was borderline unplayable.  
  • Arguably the worst time in this games history.

  • Can we remove names and ability to snipe profiles from pre game lobbies?

    I think both would be a nice idea 🙂
  • NVIDIA Freestyle is supported by DBD. It's legit.

  • It doesn't matter how well any Survivor plays. If I want to catch someone, I will catch them. Imagine thinking catching a Survivor in 2018 is actually hard. I'm not even that great of a Killer, I am actually quite mediocre.

    I don't even care about camping, I actually expect it. I am more surprised when someone actually leaves the hook completely. That's where DBD is in 2018.

  • Imagine complaining about the pebble perk.

    What a world to live in. 
  • We had no aura reading perks from June 2016 to September 2017, it'll be fine.

  • My Killer queues for 2018 have averaged anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.

    Survivor queues are instant, no matter the rank.  No matter the time.  No matter the region I have played in.

    Feel free to stop playing, maybe my Killer queues will be faster.  
  • KingB said:
    @altruistic it's not an aura nerf, it's a killer nerf. None of the survivors aura reading perks are impacted at all by this change. If you're gonna insult me for complaining about an idiotic change at least call it the right thing.
    Learn to track people with your eyes and ears.  Killers weren’t always given free auras, and guess what?  Survivors still were caught, Survivors still were sacrificed.  

    Whatever happened to “I only use BBQ for the points.”


    Distortion gives me hope they actually care about stealth gameplay.  I will be running it every single game post 2.4’s release.  I suggest anyone playing Survivor to do the same.  

  • Seeing the tears surrounding the aura nerf is quite entertaining.

    @Avariku said:
    I'm genuinely curious how you can "have fun" staring at someone hanging on a hook for 2 minutes.

    That's not really funny but let me hit you with the reality: You won't be looking at the hook for 2 minutes, you'll be looking at 3 survivors that desperately try to help their friend. And that's incredibly funny sometimes ;-)

    Have to punish behavior when it's called for. Gee Gee :)

  • “I only use BBQ for the points!  The aura isn’t even that good.” 🙂
  • Some gamers are going to catch, and make sure the survivor dies on hook.  Doesn’t matter the survivor, the day or time.  

    I don’t care about Killing.  I also don’t let people go for free.. Unless there are 2x Party Streamers and I’ll consider it.

    Take it as a compliment.  If someone is camping you to death, they’re afraid they won’t catch you again.

    My favorite games are when people hard camp, they get 1 kill and 7.5k points.  Meanwhile everyone else escapes.  Then they say you’re noob gen rushers L u L 🙂

    Here's the real problem...

    Killer hooks survivor
    

    Looks around with BBQ, sees no auras

    Killer: "Oh my, no auras. That must mean there's not 1, not 2, but 3 survivors nearby!!! Oh man, I'm gonna have to stay here and catch them!!"
    
    Camps survivor out of game
    
    Cue postgame salt
    
    Like I get the idea of being able to block auras, but bbq helped the killer find his next target. It gave him a clear direction to encourage getting him away from the hook. Plus the maps are huge and survivors can be hard to find. Aura reading perks were a great way to speed up the game, especially against immersed p3 claudettes.
    
    We can only hope that Distortion doesn't become meta. I really think it's going to get a lot of use though.
    
    @Wolf74 I wouldn't be as fussed if they nerfed decisive but after all this time and they still haven't touched it despite everyone knowing its the most broken perk in the game.
    

    Edit: you know I really think they're going to have to get rid of the 40m range on bbq, otherwise killers might accidentally camp due to assuming survivors were nearby.

    It's called a risk. You can camp someone to death, but you take the risk of the gens being finished and everyone else leaving.

    From June 14th 2016 to September 14th 2017 we played without BBQ. We didn't need free auras to find people. We still caught people when this game was completely broken for the Survivors, and they borderline couldn't be caught.

    We didn't need a perk to justify leaving the hook, even when it made way more sense to camp people back then.

    I didn't believe the Dev's gave a crap about stealth gameplay with all the free auras they give killers in terms of perks, abilities and add ons. This perk in itself has given me faith again.

    If you play Survivor, run Distortion every single game when 2.4 drops. Trust me.

    It's nice to have though. As I said it speeds up the game, especially against immersed P3 claudettes with urban evasion.

    It bugs me that they'll counter something good killers have but there's STILL nothing for DS, and no enduring isn't on tbe same level. Even NOED isn't worth taking anymore as you dont know whether you're gonna be in a swf game or not, therefore might as well play it safe and not bother because if one dies he'll tell the rest. Not that it would be hard to hide perks.

    So yeah....counter killer meta perks but leave the survivor meta perks untouched.

    Actually no i shouldnt say "untouched" because they actually did touch one of them - borrowed time and gave it a huge buff.

    DS will be reworked, soon.. Hopefully they don't answer the counter with a perk, just change it entirely. Then we won't have to hear this complaint anymore. I personally don't even care about instant DS. The 35% is the one that sucks and actually annoys me.

  • @Malakir said:
    @altruistic you only play survivors? No seriously, all comments you just wrote are so survivor bias that makes me kinda cringe. No offense

    So distribution has 2 perks in one. Dance with me and a buffed sole survivor in one comfortable perk. Which is dumb by itself. I like the unhooks ones where you auto sabot the hooks which is good to push more guarantees

    They didn't changed the pick up animation? Yes they did darling, they rreverted it. Its bad? No, its fine so you have to be more careful picking up surveys for flash saves but deny it its just hilariously wrong

    Now BBQ. Lets count the counters of it since you are either blind or don't know how I works. I'll include even the changes of the next patch that might come live.
    1 hide behind a gen
    2 fake direction
    3 stand still for 4s then walk again
    4 distortion
    5 lockers
    6 stay in 30ish radius from the hook

    So we have roughly 6 counties. 3 which are available now without any perk usage. I mean, I think its an overkill for that perk just because is being used fairly often. Just the fact you can counter it without perks should be enough but someone might not think so. Like the survivors who play only survivors making theaters everywhere to nerf it for example

    You say they don't give a damn about stealth plays. Too bad that an excuse you are using. Many people, even with all these "aura reading" (nurse calling just don't heal in front of the killer) play stealthy successfully, its my main playstyle as survivor being used to the MGS saga.

    I always love to see more stealth things but this is the wrong way since every aurora reading perk has its counter and now they added even more to help bad survivors that would hit rank 1 even easier and ruin other people games because they don't belong there

    Like this BT change wasn't necessary at all, was just fine the way it was but now, if you are in chase you won't fall. Last survivor patrol when gates are open? Gone, BT and bye. Dumb people doing risky and dumb saves are even more endorsed to farm team mates.

    I really like some changes, but others are really really dumb. If already I was playing almost survivors only to have more relaxed games now I even have less interest than before to play killer, and I love my spirit and my hair but I'd rather bully the killer than being bullied as one of them tbh

    Since December 2017 I've played way more Killer than Survivor. Most of my playtime is in Survivor though, but Killer in 2018 is 1000%'s more fun than it used to be. I consistently get (and play) R1 Killer every month since December 2017 with a couple off months. The last two months I've played Survivor more, since the event made queue times even worse for Killers. I don't like sitting in lobbies, I prefer getting into games as quickly as possible.

    Let me know how faking your direction works against Omega Blink Nurse or Hillbilly with Carb and Doom Engravings.
