Again, this will not work. People want to play killers that are strong AND easy to pick up. Even with buffs other killers will not be picked since most require an investment to become good with.

If this game was actually balanced, we wouldn’t be needing the DC penalty. Balance is something they have neglected to do the first 6 years of the game’s existence. They finally started last year, the game is already much farer. However, a lot of big issues still exist. They will keep the penalty on as a bandaid fix.

You don't hit hours and hours of DC penalty unless you DC a lot, and at that point, it kinda doesn't matter if you chose to quit or if you lagged out. If your internet is that bad that you're lagging out of matches more than every once in a while, the unfortunate reality is you really can't play team-based online games without running the risk of racking up DC penalties-- and trust me, I've been there, I know how irritating and frustrating it is. The fact is, though, it isn't the game's fault.
And, if you're the kind of person who spitefully DCs or ragequits constantly, you should be penalised for it. DCing heavily impacts the match, it isn't just about you. The game should have some basic quality control to ensure everyone gets a shot at playing the game properly, whether that's anti-grief mechanics or DC penalties.
Side note, I'm really not sure what comp modes have to do with DC penalties. Don't most online games have leaver penalties? Admittedly, I don't play that many, but they certainly should if they don't, unless they're like... a battle royale or something along those lines.

Not true. 3 DC’s in the span of 48 hours is already 15 minutes. It stacks up pretty fast.

There are more and more playable characters available in the game. You can prestige a character to 100, to get all available perks and cosmetics a minimum of 9 is needed. Bloodpoints are needed more and more. Especially for newer players it must be an undaunting task to unlock everything. The amount of bloodpoints we get per match, especially as survivor is appalling.

The anniversary has shown (again), at least for me, that this game becomes much more enjoyable when there are bigger rewards waiting for you at the end of a match.

They should at a minimum double the amount of bloodpoints you can currently earn per match.

As surv main I don't mind the perk one bit.
The only issue with the perk is information. I think obsession should know the perk is in game at least after 5th stack is gained - possibly even sooner.
Taking stacks from killer is the side-quest and reasonable counter.
And if you need to nuke it (I still don't think it necessary), then all you "have to" do is count m2 hits for loosing stacks (so there's no way around hitting obsession).

I do agree with you here. Survivors should know it is in play. More than not, the obsession (solo) is blissfully unaware while the entire team gets killed and think "I'm so lucky the killer isn't chasing me". With a warning this might change.

You're joking right? The PTB hitbox was too big, no arguing with that, but the release hitbox was so small you could literally bounce off survivors. Saying that was better is just admitting you refuse to get better against him.

A lot of killers have small hitboxes, which is perfectly fine when using a power that is strong. One of the reasons everyone plays Wesker is because of his current strong power which is very forgiving. More often than not, you actually dodge him but he still grabs you. His hitboxes are about the size of Huntress' axes.

Oh, and I have no problem looping most Weskers. Doesn't make his power fair though.

there’s definitely a lot of Skull Merchant players that 3 gen and it’s boring but it’s usually not completely uncounterable, but it does require coordination (which is hard in solo queue but that’s a given). Especially if the player plays in the EXACT way that everyone describes her, it would be so easy to counter because she would just keep circling between gens. JUST DO SEPERATE GENS DON’T DO THE SAME ONE TOGETHER.
although some of ya’ll just DC against her for no reason other than “me no like drone woman” because i ran a full chase build on her and i had a match where i had no drones on a gen (and the survivor’s weren’t even bad at looping mind you) and they DC’d when i downed them and i hadn’t even kicked a gen once that match.
also, unless you suck at skill checks (cough cough overcharge), all the good gen slowdown options in the game currently require downs or hooks WHICH SHE SHOULDN’T BE GETTING IF YOU’RE GOOD.

They bring CoB, Overcharge and Eruption with SB most of the time. They put up a drone after kicking the gen. Normally, these perks are not that good. However, it takes a while before you can remove the drone. Meanwhile she injures everyone with SB so yes, she’ll get downs eventually.

Even premades struggle against her. As a solo player it is not worth my time.

People will always go for the easy plays/win. Even if she gets buffed people will still play here as a 3 genning killer. Jane, and others have proven that SM is very viable as a chase killer.

You can do a little bit of research and see this isn’t true. For example, Canadian wait times for specialists and special surgeries are on average 7 times longer than the US. The Canadian gov lowers HC costs by limiting their specialist, which causes this increase in wait times.
And yes, I know that. It does not hurt to ask. I agree, every flag should be added.

I can tell you as a MD and one with a medical license on two continents including North America, that only your healthcare is top of the line in certain private and high end teaching hospitals. On average US healthcare is subpar compared to healthcare in a lot of northern European and East Asian countries.

US healthcare is driven by profit and liability; its professionals are not very good, and the system is slow and complicated.

@jordanjustice said:
I don't pretend to understand the devs mindset, as their game has been terribly mismanaged for 7 years now. The killer is, for some reason, the administrator of the game. Which means, the game goes, as the killer wants. If the killer wants to slug everyone from the beginning, they can. If they want to facecamp, they can. If they want to tunnel out a single person to make the game easier for them, they can. If they want to play with decency and skill, and not play scummy, they can. To add to this, the killer can see the survivors and what they are bringing in the lobby, but the survivors are blind to everything about the killer pre-match. The game is very lopsided to the killer.
Point being, the devs need to take away administrator rights from the killer. This is a game. Limits should be placed on both sides. You should HAVE TO play within a certain ruleset. Right now, its just a free-for-all with the killers having the keys.
Devs placed Borrowed Time as basekit to try and stop tunneling. This tells me that the devs understood (eventually) that tunnelling is an issue. Unfortunately, tunnelers just wait it out. In a previous suggestion, I suggested that this (before exit gates are powered) be extended to unlimited time... or maybe just a full minute. As stated, either they start helping the team (which cancels the BT) or they don't and they become useless to their team until that BT wears out. I don't see any issues with making this change, logically.
Following suit, Devs need to allow survivors to get themselves up. Not exactly Unbreakable, as that also speeds up the progression. But if a survivor is left on the ground for a full minute, let's say, there is no good reason why they shouldn't be able to just get themselves off the ground. Clearly, the Killer didn't have enough skill to actually play the game right and decided to just slug everyone. This is not fun (to the survivor at least... not sure about the 10 year old killer doing it) This is a detriment to the game. This needs to be addressed. Do I expect it to? No. Please go above and beyond my expectations and make your game better.... Do something to stop game-allowed cheating.
On the survivor side... I guess SWF's are the major problem for Killers. I wouldn't know. I have only ever played in solo queue. So, to make it right for Killers... after you fix the game and take away their cheatey admin rights, do something to nerf SWFs. The game uses Steam's friends list to join, right? I'm sure there are ways to code nerfs into the game if a survivor team has 3 or 4 'friends' in the lobby.

I completely agree with you. It shouldn't be possible in a game for one side to ruin the other's experience. Camping/tunneling/excessive slugging/gen rushing and overpowered premades need to go. Once these core issues have been dealt with, what remains needs to be balanced out so the game is "fair" for both sides and a win or loss actually comes down to skill and not just a busted map, being on comms or tunneling out the solo player just to make a match easy.

in Anti-Slug - Unbreakable base-kit? Comment by mca240 July 2, 2023

Most maps are already plentiful with safe loops and pallets, when playing against a M1 killer. Now, you can loop the same structure or pallet even more before finally going down/dropping the pallet. All the while generator rushing is at an all time high. Yes, that sounds like balance... /S

It's because you aren't prepared to playing against those strategies. I am not gonna say it's not boring, because anything that limits interaction with another person is (SM 3-genning, gen-rushing with toolboxes etc.), but another part you as well as me find it unfun is that to deal with it you need not only specific perks, but specific teammates and communication, the last of which is not available to the average solo survivor. If it was available, that part could be the fun one as people would strategize and co-ordinate to overcome the killer and that would generate interaction among the survivor.

I am a solo player, this is true. But even in a premade I do not find it fun. I always bring Resilience. In a premade you use that perk and slam generators. Not my idea of fun.

If only DBD has a balanced games in which killer don't always need to relie on slowdown/regression perks, nor needing to tunneling to win. The sad reality is, Survivors also relie on trading hooks/health states and just holding 450 seconds or less on gens with gen speed perks to succeed in escaping all together.
Medkit changes were made to make healing more common and slow enough ; to compensate for the pace of the game for killer. But even then, it is not always enough, experience Survivors that comfort Staying injured and spend every second not in chase to simply do gens as fast and efficiently as much as possible.
What the games needs is more basekit slowdown to gen speeds, or alternatively a 2nd main objective to make hooking more coming and less practical to needing to tunnel/camp every game.
Sure it will not stop toxic killers from doing what satisfy their blood killing ego; as they need to kill. But, if we can make less killers less pressure about time efficiently in gen defense and more into the chase and the hooks; only then.. can we balance the games for both sides.

The game just needs to be balanced on both sides. It’s an asymmetrical game so full balance will never be achieved but they can do a whole lot better.

Games stop being fun the longer you play them. They are always at their most fun at the beginning and when you're learning and it still feels magical. After playing for a long time it's normal you get burned out. Most of the people posting "I don't play anymore" or "the game's not fun anymore" aren't people who just started playing. It's usually those who have at least a year of playing regularly.

For me personally, I still enjoy the game if the other side plays “fair”. As a survivor I do not want to see hard tunneling or camping until endgame. It sucks all the energy and fun out of a match. You should win based off skill, not a cheap mechanic that should have been removed from the game at its inception.

Almost in every game killers chose to tunnel (fast and easy way to win), game experince as a survivor is very bad and very boring. Specially if someone is playing in solo queue where there is no communication in the team and it is hard for teammates to protect each others.
In my opinion Decisive Strike should be changed back to stun the killer for 5 seconds and we should be able to use it in end game. And as a survivor you should be able to heal yourself at least more than once with a better medkit.
Me along with many friends have stopped playing as survivors, simply because game experience is bad. I hope the devs take this in consideration and actually do something that could boost up the game play and prevent tunneling.
