Tricksters lore is just "I left my band mates to die in a fire then got an obsession with killing because of it." Which is...really weird and doesn't make sense at all. Deathslingers I always forget cause it's kinda a snoozefest like his design

I'll hand it to you. The first time I read Trickster's lore, I was taken back, but then I read it again and saw new meaning in it and looking at him in game it really does make sense and I thought it wasn't as bad as my first take. I have tried this a bunch with ...The Skull Merchant.. and her lore... I just can't.. Compared to her.. Trickster and EVEN Legion's lore are masterpieces. Hers is just so damn bad, nothing can compare to it.. :/

Her lore is laughable yet legion, trickster, and deathslinger exist

I don't think Trickster/Deathslinger's lore stories are laughable at all. I'll give you Legion. I usually excuse Legion as its an "unintentional way" for us to have movies like Purge represented in DBD.

How does this better evoke her concept at all? A character like this wouldn't be hiding anything, she certainly wouldn't be able to conduct her business as usual between hunts.
There's nothing inherently wrong with this design, of course, but it'd require a wildly different character concept to go with it.

This version of her evokes more "horror" than BHVR's version. Killer's should be scary. Whether it come from visuals, lore, or game play, and I think most players get none of that when they look at her.. Let's be honest, her current design has a very minor cult following at best..

Everyone plays Spirit again! Her pickrate must have skyrocketed since I see them offten now.
Before it was maybe 1 Spirit per 20+ games. Now Its like 1 per 6+ games.
Isn't not because people realised she is bugged, right??? Hehey right?!!!

Most of them are not even using the new outfit either. I've said for a long time that Spirit is piss easy to do well with. Playing something like Hillybilly in comparison gives a night and day difference. Spirit is just easy to get results with. Seems like more people are realizing that.

Just run Save The Best For Last. That way you only have to worry about the Obsession slowing your hits down. As you gain stacks, missing or hitting a non Obsession Survivor will be faster even if they Dead Hard. Getting more stacks pays off as the game goes on regardless of hits and misses.

I agree with the Billy statement specifically. I really feel like people understate how difficult Billy is to learn and people often saying Huntress is the hardest but I learn more towards Billy being the hardest Killer in the game just from how punishing they are.
You miss with Huntress, you have 4 other shots left (even more with addons). You miss a swing with Blight, youll have your power back in 10 seconds (or less with addons). You miss with Spirit, well you still gained a lot of distance on the Survivors.
However if you miss with Billy, prepare for a really long cooldown (even with addons), combine this with the fact that you can cancel your chainsaw and still hit an object because the collision zone still exists AFTER canceling (thus making you go through two cooldown periods). Billy is an absolute mess (and I still adore him).

You hit it right on the nose. I also understand if certain characters are hard for some and not others, but literally the handful of people I had try Spirit early said they loved how much easier she was than when they played Trapper and Hillbilly. They also didn't like the slow cloak/uncloak of Wraith, so when I thought of how fast Wraith's movement is, I told them, "Okay, try out Spirit." They loved her. She is a great Killer to start with. You really don't need headphones and all that jazz to track with her. That is an over assumption that many people have.

Starting with Hillbilly and wanting to use the power and have fun though is extremely rough as more often than not you won't "easily" get used to the "acquired taste" his chainsaw rush has.

I never had an issue with Spirit but that’s because I’ve mained her ever since her release back in 2018, I had prior experience with the general killer gameplay, and I played release Spirit when barely anyone knew how to counter her. So I don’t know why you’re making assumptions…
Nowadays, picking Spirit as your FIRST killer main when everyone knows her gameplay and without prior knowledge and experience when playing killer seems like a disaster. A simple killer like Wraith where the survivors can’t stealth you and you still learn the basic killer gameplay seems like the way to go. Spirit thrives when you already know how to play a basic killer and have that foundation :/

She may thrive after that, but she is still piss easy to get 1st game wins with.

Spirit’s not even a good killer to start with, why would recommend her to people just starting the game?
She requires you to know how to track using your ears more than your eyes. Most newer killer players can’t even track scratch marks and follow basic survivor movement. It took me a good week or so to even know what scratch marks were doing back in 2018.
She’s a 110% killer who relies heavily on her power that requires you to know how to track survivors which newer players simply don’t know how to do especially if the survivor isn’t injured.
Best killers to start with are Trapper, Wraith, Legion, etc…not Spirit.

Spirits great. They all agreed after picking her is the funny thing. Said she was easy to learn and get kills with. We are of course speaking about "AVERAGE" Survivors per my original post. Sounds like an issue on your side if you had trouble with her early on against mediocre people.

Not really, Spirit is one of the most skill-requiring killers to play as in dbd. So don’t get discouraged if people seem to attribute your wins with a certain killer to something. If she’s a killer you enjoy playing as, keep on doing it!

I wouldn't say Spirit requires as much skill as a Hillbilly. Spirit is often who I recommend to friends just starting Killer as you can learn her basics much faster and you don't bang your head into a wall as much trying to get the power to pay off, similar to someone like Hillbilly. More often than not you can just use her power on a YOLO and you find someone.

It really isn't too skill intensive to play her at a decent level. I think many people overestimate how hard she is to play. She is much easier to chase with in comparison to any other Killer without a teleport honestly. I agree at the higher level of course, but against "average" Survivors (which is the majority of the DBD community), you can play Spirit pretty badly and still come out on top simply due to how much ground she gains when in her power.

Ive been spending the time to learn her as a console player. Ive gotten pretty good at her and can go against good survivors pretty easily. But a good bit of the time im told "wow, congrats, you have good headphones" or stuff like that. Kinda makes me feel like the time spent to learn her is kinda insulted and pushed down to that. Do you think she's very easy? Like i know shes no nurse but she was fairly difficult when i started.

I would say Spirit is in the top 8 easiest to win as, when going against average Survivors.

Blight, Pinhead, Spirit, Leatherface, Wesker, Clown, Pyramid Head, and Artist seem to be the easiest to get wins with out of the cast from my testing. Many of these 8 you really don't even have to know that much about the power. You can play most of these as an amateur and more often than not succeed.

I honestly wasn't expecting to see the such negative reception the new killer is getting. From what I can gather a lot of it has to do with a perceived bad design, peoples expectations being way too high, and supposedly bad gameplay. Has any other killer received this type of attention in the past? I'm fairly new to the DBD community so a lot of this discourse is new to me.

At this point in DBD's life cycle..if they make a Killer with elements that obviously pull from something licensed..they will naturally get more hate. If you are going to copy anything so obvious from an existing franchise...at least make it amazing... This lady is meh at best and just looks so stupid... No appeal whatsoever.. Not to mention, it's just Tricksters face recycled... Lazy..

I want to emphasize that what I’m about to express isn’t intended to come across as mean or disrespectful, but I am a believer in brutal honesty and constructive criticism.
After reading the killer’s lore I was absolutely surprised at how generic The Skull Merchant’s lore is, but if generic was simply the only issue I could’ve let it slide. However, not only is the story generic, but the character’s don’t make any sense and had a lot of missed opportunities for good story.
The killer’s motivation for why they do what they do and why they are the way they are just makes no sense. Its not believable or relatable. Even the way the style is written just reads…off. It feels more like a fan fiction rather than a professionally written story.
Now if it were up to me I wouldn’t scrap everything about the story. As I said it has potential, there were just many missed/underutilized opportunities. If I had to come up with a fix off the top of my head, I would have had the story play out in a way where the killer pulls her family out of poverty, nearly graduates from a prestigious academy, and yet she still doesn’t get the love/recognition she craves from her family. Her innovation is driven by a desire for recognition from her loved ones.
They could have done something with the story where The Skull Merchant becomes a self made billionaire and is incredibly intelligent, yet her father doesn’t even recognize her accomplishments. Never once did he ever tell her “I’m proud of you” or even a “good job”. Choosing to focus on his manga and other hobbies. Making her think she just isn’t good enough for the family despite all of her deeds in pretty much carrying the family on her shoulders. Thrusting her insecurity and self-esteem into madness. Pushing herself into literally trying to “fix” herself by doing technological/mechanical implants.
Heck, they could have swapped the father figure for an older brother. Playing on the theme that the two survivor’s we got are siblings.
I am by no means a professional writer or even a skilled one, but I think every individual here could have come up with better lore in less than 24 hrs then what we ended up getting.
I know you can come up with some amazing stories BHVR. You guys are the ones who made stories for Oni, Plague, Ghostface (DBD), and Doctor. You guys have the potential in your writing team! I know you can be better! Which is why I am so bamboozled by what we have just recently gotten in terms of lore.
Maybe I’m alone on this, but it definitely sucks we’ll have to wait for another tome just to see if this lore can be polished. A real shame man.

Of course it is.. It was an excuse to cover up the chapter we were originally going to get.. You don't accidentally make "lore" that bad for a character unless you are like 12 years old.. This is just another BHVR scenario where they couldn't hide the mess that was made behind the scenes..

To go quality over quantity?
I have long been very forgiving and positive about new releases, and have been a fan of content that hasn't been the most popular.
That said, this new chapter feels more like a rushed placeholder than fully designed content, for a myriad of reasons that are being discussed in detail. It's paper thin.
With both the killer and survivor rosters already robust and only getting bigger, would it make sense to reduce the number of annual releases? It has often been proposed to skip a chapter in favor of "game health" updates, but I am thinking just permanently reducing to 2-3 new chapters a year simply to spend more time on them.
I look at this chapter as something we absolutely didn't need; releasing content for the sake of it.

Yes. Absolutely! They could've canceled this Chapter altogether to give us straight "game health" updates for the next few months, and I wouldn't have batted an eye..

Theyre out of ideas, and genuinely dont know what to do around the current parameters of the game. Problem is the solution to this is entirely new game modes and goals, then you can base the killers / survivors around that.

This is going to be a MASSIVE / awesome anniversary event and theyre saving the big load for that.
I wonder if the game was next gen only and pcs ( so ssds only ) if the game could have new features and modes they cant do on a HDD. Imagine if for example the SSD allowed freddy to have a true dream world. Or a killer that makes each survivor see a different map / version of the map
