What do you mean by like 'a license a large portion of the community is against'. Like what Springtrap, or it not being a certain character like a RE chapter not featuring Nemesis, but instead it features Jack Baker or someone like that?
I'm probably in the minority here but I would love to see Jack Baker in the game. That said, I also know that he's not nearly as good or even as logical a fit as half the other RE villains.
I used to hear people talk about Chucky (doesn't seem very practical), IT (some good possibilities there), Pinhead, the Tall Man. Wasn't Candyman supposed to be up next? I'd be more than happy to see Tony Todd wrecking folks.
-
The Shape, natch. I mean come on, it's the most iconic theme in slasher movie history.
I actually like the slow building menace of the Clown's theme as well.
-
Weird. I've been getting the same maps over and over, you keep getting the same ritual over and over. Almost feels like the All-Kill update ultimately did more harm than good.
-
I've seen a lot of people say that Hillbilly is one of the best, The Clown is "controversial", and no one ever chooses The Twins. Can someone tell me why these are popular opinions? Legit question, not an attempt at an argument.
-
I've only been playing the game for 2 weeks now and most of that time was without spine chill. I've played a character with it for a few days and while I find it convenient, it doesn't feel like it makes a huge difference in my survival rate. Maybe (ironically) it will be more suited to my playstyle if I get better, I don't know.

Playing Trickster wrong begins when you choose to play as Trickster.

I submitted a support ticket. I was responded to pretty promptly by an actual human. I don't know what might be done or when, but I was told that:
"Currently, please know that the map rotation is currently set at random. However, this is an issue that will also be further looked into".

Only maps I've been getting are indoor maps, yamaoka, and shelter woods.
This is so stupid. So a bunch of players are just getting assigned a seemingly random assortment of like 10 maps to play.
At least SOMEONE's getting indoor maps, though I'm probably the only person who actually wants them. Can we trade? I'd gladly take ten straight runs of the hospital and Jigsaw warehouse to 100 games straight on either Coldwind Farm, Macmillan Estate, or the Pale Rose.
-
Yay, three hours and it's been Coldwind Farm, Autohaven, Pale Rose, Coldwind Farm, Coldwind Farm, Estate, Coldwind Farm, Estate...
I think I need to just stop playing this game until they get this sorted out. #########'s gotten tiresome.

This. I think that more people are being affected than the devs realize, or they don't even know that there's an issue.
-
Every time I go against Kpop Queen I roll my eyes and settle in for a boring several minutes. Yay, in a game with monsters and ghouls and mutants and poltergeists and all kinds of strategies and schemes to try to keep in mind there's nothing more exciting than running away from some random dude who just giggles and spams throwing knives.

I'm getting Lerry's institute quite often (2-3 a day) but I don't remember the last time I played The game game, Resident Evil map or the map from Stranger things.
Swamp maps are pretty rare too. When I think of it, I actually played just the ship one.
Did you mean the Silent Hill map? Widwich school? That's one of the indoor ones that I haven't seen a single time in days.
As for the ship map, yep, that's Pale Rose, the one I got twice in a row yesterday and started my game with today. Lord Regal up there was helpful enough to check the odds and this simply shouldn't be happening. It's like each of us are stuck with our own specific handful of maps. Could it have something to do with them reworking them? I'd be fine with that if I at least knew that that's what they were doing and if they gave us a timetable or acknowledged it in some way. All I know is that the All-Kill pack came along and boom, Tricksters everywhere, often on the same small handful of maps.
-
Thanks a lot for your comments guys. Now I know that it's not just me. I'm new so I don't know what if anything can be done about this. Any suggestions?
-
Speak of the devil, just played a match where someone playing as Kate was working with the Clown. Unless, of course, she was just being really bold by following right on his ass as he walked around hitting other people, breaking down doors, etc.
I record every match that I play. I wish I could send every instance of this ######### to someone who could do something about it. Instead I just ran to Kate, did circles around her to make it clear that I knew what she was up to, then let myself get killed. Three minute wait for a rigged game and 2,000 points to just get it over with so I didn't waste more of my time. Report, sigh, wash, rinse, repeat.
-
I wouldn't like it. It's more fun to not know who you're up against, or what skills your teammates have.

I got Disturbed Ward three games in a row without any map offerings being played...in the multiple hours I played today I saw Autohaven, Midwich and Haddonfield once each, Macmillan twice, Coldwind 4 times, and the rest were Crotus Penn or Badham. Didn't see Yamaoka at all (which I'm fine with, I don't enjoy those maps), nor did I see Lery's, The Game, or Hawkins. I'm a bit tired of Badham specifically at this point...would've loved to see more Autohaven or Macmillan.
Okay then yeah, I'm seeing that this is definitely happening to people to different degrees, but apparently with different maps. What are the odds that a map will repeat itself twice in a row in as many days (my case) or three times a row in a single session like with you? Something's up, something about the algorithm was affected by the update. I'm sick to my teeth of playing Autohaven and Macmillan yet you guys aren't even seeing them. Meanwhile I'm BEGGING this game for an indoor map just to break up the monotony. I know they're relatively uncommon but before this last week I was at least made aware of their existence.

Let's be honest. The pun was totally intended.
I'll put it this way: It was as intended as the Trickster's gameplay performance. Make of that as you shall!

I haven't gotten Autohaven or Macmillan in like a week. It's been Badham, Yamaoka, and a tiny bit of Crotus Prenn/The Game/Haddonfield thrown in every so often.
That's interesting, I've been getting Autohaven on a near-constant basis. That and Pearl are on an almost legitimately rotating basis. Got Prenn a couple of times, Yamaoka a couple of times, otherwise just those few realms and the cornfields. The Game is my favorite map, I'd kill (no pun intended) to even get it "every so often" anymore. I don't know what's happened.
-
@JimbusCrimbus said:
I feel like all I get are Badham and Yamaoka lately.
Does it feel like sort of an isolated thing, they're a bit more common than usual, etc., or are you noticing that many other maps are just plain not showing up at all?
-
For me it's almost always been Feng. For whatever it's worth Dwight's one of my favorites and I would never play the game with the intention of screwing everyone else, junior high was 30 years ago. So if you see my name above a Dwight (or anyone, frankly), don't be concerned.
-
That's odd. I knew about Red Forest but I haven't seen a single indoor map nor at least half the other outdoor maps in days. It's just the Abattoir, the Scrapyard, the Rose, etc etc etc. Nothing but swamps, beat-up vehicles and cornfields for days. I guess I did get the resort once. And I do mean once. No Springwood maps (which have a 5x multiplied chance of being drawn just by themselves), no Midwich, no Gideon Warehouse, no lab, no saloon, etc.
I'm not sure what's happening. Mathematically it doesn't make sense that I'm just getting repeats of the same relatively small handful of maps, sometimes the same one literally twice in a row. I believe you when you say that it isn't happening to you, I just don't understand why it's happening to me.
-
It's happened to me a couple of times, yes. I've only been playing for two weeks but always had butter smooth gameplay until two days ago. Now I've had a couple of quick frame drops that lasted for a few seconds. Only a couple, mind you, but none before the update.
-
I can't ######### stand survivor / killer alliances. Camping is lame, it ruins the game for the person on the hook and forces everyone else to play a specific way if they want to win. Tunneling is lame because it just is, it's annoying for the survivor and does nothing for the killer. Slugging is what is it. But, I can at least acknowledge that these are legitimate strategies. I main as a survivor but I don't hate killer players like many others do, I think playing as the killers can be a lot of fun too (though I myself try to avoid all of the above actions).
Survivors who work in collusion with the killers? That's just plain straight-up bullshit. It deliberately and directly ruins the game for all players other than the two (or more) who are working with each other to farm points and get off on "teabagging" (because, contrary to popular belief, being able to cheat to get someone down and then press a button repeatedly once you've done so is difficult AND impressive).
Whenever I see this, which is at least once a day, I just report both participants and move on, expecting that nothing will likely be done. The devs do a lot of work to balance the game but this seems to be an ongoing problem, it would be nice if they built in some kind of detection that would alert the game when a killer and survivor spend any significant time just standing around each other, or if the survivor runs behind or alongside the killer, etc. I know, I know. It would be difficult to do such a thing when stuff like that happens during regular, fair games. But I'm sure that there's some way to eliminate this. Again, I just have to report and hope that it's taken seriously. It sucks. I can't understand the infantile mindset of someone who enjoys a game not by playing it, but as a means to funnel their sociopathic tendencies.

Seems like he's in my games twenty times a day. Or was, until the Trickster was released.

I'm a new member and we've never spoken before, but I have severe anxiety-related issues that, while not affecting me much when it comes to online dealings, are something I've had to struggle with in real life for 30 years. If you happen to see this and would like someone to talk to about this kind of stuff, or just for someone to listen, please message me.

Would I be able to add you on Steam? I don't have Twitch.

Face camping is infuriating. It's like "Oh okay yeah, let's BOTH just sit here and not play the game. Sure, why not".
-
I'm fairly new and so far prefer playing as survivors, so maybe I could help you to test out various killers. I mean as long as you don't want to me just stand still and be beaten up, lol.
I'm miketheratguy everywhere.

When my friend was showing me the ropes last week that was one of the first things he demonstrated: If a killer is chasing you, you drop the pallet on them. That's just a regular gameplay mechanic right? Do you mean that you run from pallet to pallet, or do you mean that you do several circles around a single pallet? Either way I can't yet see why some people think that this is bad, I mean the way I figure it that's why the pallets are there!
-
I almost always play survivor, I'm player rank 20 myself.
miketheratguy on Steam.
-
Since I'm pretty new I'm still learning some of the terms but my understanding is that looping is just a thing where the survivor runs around an area with a pallet, right? It wouldn't affect me since I rarely play killers at this point anyway but I would be curious to know more about it and why my google searching says that it's controversial.
-
Thanks! As long as you don't exploit the gameplay like teaming with the enemy or cheating or whatever you can level up with me all you like.

"I don't play to win, I play to have fun". Depending on how you would define "fun" we might make good teammates, lol. I'm looking for people who play fair and are just out there to relax and enjoy themselves, not try to break the rules of the game or ruin the experience for others in the name of winning. I don't care if I win or lose. I just don't like my experience being ruined by cheaters and trolls.
I'm up for any game type and usually play as a survivor. I'm also looking for someone who's up in the later afternoons and evenings, it takes a good ten minutes for me to get a lobby past like 5 or 6 pm Illinois time. If any of this sounds good keep an eye out for miketheratguy.
PC, 43/M

Pretty new too, I got the game last week and still have a lot to learn about specific killer skills and whatnot but I generally know what I'm doing and how to play. I'm a male but not toxic at all, I'm actually looking for people who want fair, friendly matches like I do.
I'm miketheratguy everywhere. I actually think I may have played a match with you once over the last few days or so but I'm not sure. :)
-
PC for me also. Fairly new and still learning about some things but I know what I'm doing. All I want is to match up with people who prefer teamwork and fair play to abusing the gameplay and ruining the game for others. Also looking for people who are on later than 5 or 6 pm US Central time, lol.
miketheratguy on all accounts.
-
I'm the laid-back type too. I'm looking for teamwork and fair, casual play, NOT griefers and spammers and trolls and whatnot. Winning is great but I don't care either way, I just want to have fun with people who aren't into scumming the game.
Name's miketheratguy everywhere.
