1) Add more objectives for survivors. Gen repair & escape is boring and repetitive. It'd be cool to have a second set of objectives that change thematically with the maps?
2) Give survivors and killers new things to interact with, like hiding under beds or inside closets. -

Alright, I appreciate that. I just wanted to clarify that I don't scower the community for jokes in my videos. I'm an avid player since release and this all originated from my own experiences. And continue to do so. I'm just happy people actually enjoy them.Totally, keep it up! & I think too, my original post missed that there's also a pretty huge possibility that with the popularity of the videos, they influence the community's sense of humor/in-jokes, too.
@DocOctober said:
That's pretty much the point of his parodies though. Why should they be disconnected from the community if they are intended for the community?
Yeah, don't worry, I'm not disagreeing. I can see how it would SEEM like I'm being a jerk, but that wasn't my intention! I was definitely defending the videos while acknowledging that someone might have a different opinion. I think I was being TOO understanding, though, and things got a bit muddled.

@samination said:
@George_Soros and @mintchapstickI'm okay with constructive criticism and all, but this just feels personal. Also, of course my jokes are going to mirror the community as we are playing the same game. I come up with most of my skits from just playing and then talking scenarios out with friends. I'm very proud of the animations.
If you dislike it that's fine, but I don't see why you must ran on others parade. Just move on?
The series was started as a one-off from my year long (maybe more) experience with the game. I loved it to death and decided to make a little animation about it. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect anyone to watch it yet alone the makers of the game showcase it on their twitch stream. Even with this new one M.Cote tweeted about it. This just blows my mind. They appreciate it and the millions of people that have watched it have also enjoyed it. It's been a lot of fun and for once I'm not bored with making a series like this. I'm in awe of people that want to see more and all the great comments the videos receive. It's a very positive thing in my life and I'm very happy that I can do it.
I actually enjoy the videos & share them with people all the time. I'm just saying that I can understand where @George_Soros is coming from when he says that he doesn't find them funny. Personally, I don't mind that they're community jokes. No one else is taking the time to make fun animations with them & doing them in an easily quotable way.
Plus, I know I can never personally finish any of the animations that I start because animation is an arduous process, so I have lots of respect for your work.

*Ultrare addon, yeah i know hillbilly is a problem but it require skill to control the chainsaw (hillbilly insta chainsaw is op but i dont want to killer mains cry at this discussion so let's not talk about that pls), the problem it's of the other killer can't jump pallets or windows, and in frenzy mode he have more speed than survivors.You can make the chainsaw really easily steerable by using add-ons & while using his chainsaw he has a lot more speed than survivors. Yes, Legion can jump pallets while using his frenzy power, but both Hillbilly & Leatherface can just chainsaw through them?
I'm not not going to bring up the powers of other characters in this discussion. Because if people are fine with one-down mechanics, then they can get over pallet vaulting.

Yeah I don't want to watch, can you give a summary?

@Boss said:
Well you don't hit Survivors with Blinks.
Blink Hits are Blinking, then pressing or holding the attack button.
The longer you hold the Blink button, the further you'll travel.
While charging the Blink, the maximum distance is gained once the Nurse clenches her left fist.I've never played her much beyond the basics though, someone else can probably help you more if you need it.
Yeah, I knew that. I more meant, how do you hit a survivor when coming out of a blink & if that's even possible because of the after-blink fatigue.
-
The only character I actually have an interest in is Dwight, and that's because I have a soft spot for the Dwights of the world. They usually make for really good unlikely heroes in fiction.
-
Only if they have to find parts and assemble the items, and then they're limited use.

I got a message saying I was being reported this morning, too! All because I decided to try to be nice and let the last survivor go.
It just didn't feel like a good victory, because I usually play at red ranks and I lost some ranks a couple of days ago because I was trying to learn a killer I didn't know how to play, and then I deranked further to rank 13, so I was like, nah I'll let this dude go. Take your lantern, little dude. & they panicked and DID NOT TAKE THEIR LANTERN and ran off and ran through the exit.
Then I got a message from one of the dead survivors saying I was WORKING WITH A SURVIVOR, REPORTED!! WHY DID YOU LET HIM WIN? REPORTED!!!
Like, wow, ######### off, guy. I was trying to be nice.

@George_Soros said:
Oh yeah I get that, that's secondary (Family Guy is drawn in a horribly ugly way, and it's still quite funny at times). I was mostly saying the jokes are terribly lame and, umm, what's the opposite of creative? Whatever, that.
But well, I guess it's pointless being grumpy about it. If you guys like it, enjoy!Oh yeah, THAT is a valid criticism. Like, I super disagree about Family Guy being funny because I love adult cartoon humor and that's like the lowest of the low brow humor, but I think there's valid criticism in that Samination just kind of repeats jokes that the rest of the dbd community is already making.

I don't get it. Samination is sooooo unfunny. Goes for the most obvious all the time. Not drawn well either (I know it's not supposed to be Ghibli level artistic, but should be more creative.)
Just an opinion, obviously.Well, haha, animation is actually really complicated so simple drawings are actually better/easier to work with. I took animation classes in college & we were basically taught that in the name of efficiency that you have to make characters out of simple shapes--so with the animation process in mind, his drawings are not actually that bad. Like, do keep in mind that in order to make a character speak, you have to draw out all the different variations of the character's facial movements, it looks like this:

@Arroz said:
Most legion players dont know how to use he's power, you need to hit everyone most of them just tunnel the survivor while using they powerYeah, it's a real shame that people don't know how to use Legion's power. Because when played right, he's good at two things: stalling generator progress, and crowd control. When people just tunnel or follow people around forever, it's annoying.
Also, I really have to address the frank's mix-tape issue. Everyone complains about it, because '3 hits = down!' and they seem to be ignoring that most killers are TWO hits and you're down, and then Hillbilly is ONE hit and you're down, and he's extra fast when he has his chainsaw going, but no one complains about that? How is a rare add-on that gives you 3 hits to down someone a 'big problem for the game' ?

@Steamtastic_Vagabond said:
Really, I’m sure less people would be complaining if Frank’s Mixtape was changed to do something else. Legion does require skill, less than other killers sure but still requires skill. Legion’s weakness is his difficulty to track survivors with scratch marks while frenzying, making it necessary to keep line of sight if you want to catch a survivor. If LOS is broken, that survivor’s gone.Legion dont require any skill, you will win the chase and you will friggin win the chase! you just need to wait to the power and hit the survivor (4 times or 3 with frank's mixtape) you can't loop legion because he can jump pallet the only counter to legion is pallet/window juke? (It rarely work) legion need a power rework
This is why Legion is both trash and treasure. You can tunnel the best survivor player and even with less skill than them you can always get them killed. However, when your average person tried to play Legion like a "normal killer" they usually come up short in terms of kills from what I've seen.
Tunneling & committing to chases is actually the worst way to play Legion, though, lmao. People who tunnel or spend a long time chasing down one person are ######### Legions. The best way to play Legion is to constantly switch targets to slow down gen progression by making multiple survivors have to stop working on gens to mend/heal & if they don't take the time to heal, then you just m1 them when you see them again.

@NoodleLegs said:
HuhYeah, haha, it honestly sucks. When you go up into purple & red ranks, survivors do two infuriating things during chases that are tbh kind of exploitative of console's limitations. I'm not saying it's cheating, but I am saying it's a pain in the ass:
- They get SUPER in your face & do small circles because again, drops the framerate and again, they just disappear on your screen and you have to try to anticipate where they're going/where they are.
- They like to do this annoying twitchy run that ######### with their hitboxes/console auto-aim, so if you try to hit them, auto-aim kicks in and gets confused.
So yeah. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@Rex_Huin said:
Meh... I stand by my point.Time how long a game is and how much time you spent on a gen.
What were you doing the other 90% of the time? Lots of stuff. Even if its just sneaking or hiding.
When you really think about it survivors do a lot of different stuff. Actually far more than killers. Killers should be the ones asking for more variety since all they do is chase, hook and repeat their power ad infinitum.
Sure, but killers can't have more things to do, unless survivors do. Because at the moment, time is already so sparse on the killers side that completing the objectives they already have, can be difficult.
-
@NoodleLegs said:
1, I must have god-like 360's... on console, bc I can make a Legion run out of Frenzy to the point I almost feel bad,That's because on console, when you 360, it drops the framerate and makes survivors disappear. The frenzy screen is also really blurred on the edges so when you combine those two things, it's not as easy as people say it is to get a hit in.
-
I feel that way about Adam. I hate Adam. I get angry whenever there's an Adam in my lobby.
-
It really is. Like someone else mentioned, I prefer to just run thana.
-
No, probably not. But I actually also hate the idea of getting banned for disconnecting, because who are you to tell me that I can't stop playing a game that I paid for?
Personally, what I think dbd should do is have some kind of endorsement system like Overwatch, where you get prizes for having a high endorsement level & your endorsement level goes down if you d/c or lobby dodge too much. Like, my endorsement level for Overwatch has been a 4 for a long time & I get lootboxes for it all the time, so it's rewarding me for not being a ######### person who leaves matches or lobbies a lot.
You get more out of people and everyone is happier if you use the carrot instead of the stick.
-
Sometimes I see survivors (especially Claudettes), stop in a chase and crouch in a corner and stare at a wall, and I just don't get it. Do they think I can't see them, or....??
-
Ughhh this happens to me all the time! & once I reached red ranks, I started getting like.. rank 15 survivors in my lobby and I'd look like, 'I was WONDERING why they were all more potato-y than usual.'

@knell said:
Actually, even though I don't like how she had been talking down to some people, I really appreciated how she had just addressed the toxic masculinity that often seems to permeate the DBD forums. It's not just the "sackless" comment, but also rampant comments like, "grow some balls" "stop being a [female dog]" "don't be a bunch of [female body parts]." They're indeed colloqualism, but ones that come from a long history of sexism. By attempting to control people's behavior by continually emasculating them, they're also normalizing that idea that "being a man" is better than "being a woman" or "being like a woman." It's just not necessary, and it is a pathetic effort to curve human behavior that doesn't even work most of the time. Instead, the only thing it does do is continuing to normalize that sort of language and in extension, the idea.I do sympathize with the other part of your post though. Hopefully you'll face more opponents with some human decency that would offset some of your fears.
Oh yeah, no, I totally agree with you 100% and I think that's a really great conversation to have? We SHOULD have that conversation, it's one of the many reasons why the DBD community is toxic. But her method of dismissing what someone is saying because of the way that they're communicating it by flaunting that she's a GIRL and peppering all her posts with SWEETHEART and SWEETIE and kissie marks is what's the issue.
It's annoying, because I even agree with the argument that she's making. I'm very squarely on the side of killers being allowed to lobby dodge, but she's doing it in such an embarrassing way that it's just so cringey, and it's hurting more than helping.

@Nikkiwhat said:
" like they're sackless"What a very typical male thing to say rolls eyes Not everyone who plays has a sack sweetheart, but please flex that machismo more here, 💋
Dude, you gotta stop with the emojis and the sweethearts and purposely taking colloquialisms at face value. One female gamer to another: you're making us look terrible right now & you're personifying all the bad ######### guys say about us. Stop taking us back like ten steps because you want to be condescending.
@PiiFree said:
Lobby dodging is the result of many bad experiences.You should've thought about such consequences before you bullied those poor Killers.
This is true though, I know someone called it as being bullshit, but it's honestly why I sometimes get into a loop of lobby dodging. Sometimes I'll see a bright haired Nea, or a beautiful, flowing haired, scarf-wearing Jake, and I'll dodge because I can't help but remember all the bright haired Neas before her that did me wrong.
Also flashlights. I get like killer main PTSD when I see them in my lobby. Like, 'I can't do this... not again.' Then when I talk myself into flashlights or bright haired Neas not being that bad, I load into the game and there's a bright haired Nea flashlight clicking and teabagging after dropping a pallet.

I played survivor once after like two margaritas (I never drink), and I couldn't hit a single skill check. Never played after drinking again.

A normal game? Ok so i'm guessing you never use ebony moris, iridescent heads and all that stuff, right?I really, actually don't. I used my first mori ever yesterday, and I used my first purple add-on today. Tried an iridescent add-on for the first time after that, but it didn't work. Which reminds me, I need to make a bug report about it.
I usually use brown/yellow add-ons, btw. I only just started actually using the add-ons when I reached rank 8.

Freddy is okay. I've only played him like in 6 matches.
Match 1 - 4k
Match 2 - 3k
Match 3 - total wash, 0k
Match 4 - total wash, 0k
Match 5 - Someone taking someone off of a hook in my face crashed my game
Match 6 - 2k!I like Legion. They're a little weak. I didn't realize this when I started playing them, because Legion was the first killer I ever played, but I got up to red ranks with them, so when I switch to different killers they feel so easy, like I'm cheating or something. I'm also not a tunneler, I only used Frank's mixed tape once, and I don't moonwalk, so I guess 'weak' is part of my own making.

Swf balance
Proper ranking system with rewardsThis^
I'm in the red ranks as killer and the matches are much harder than a match at rank 15 would be, but I'm getting the same reward? It kind of sucks and it doesn't make sense to keep punishing myself.
Also echoing the SWF balance issue. It's bonkers.

I'd like one that makes survivors change the way they play. For example a "werewolf" type killer that has a leap ability. He could leap onto sides of buildings or trees and click again to hold onto the side of it. This would make the survivors have to be looking up and at the trees or buildings so that they don't get ambushed from above. Maybe while he holds the button to cling to the tree or building he could also crawl along it and leap down at survivors or leap from tree to tree if you were skilled enough.If people hate Legion as much as they do, they'd hate this even more. But I agree. Not with this idea, necessarily, but I like the idea of killers that change the way that survivors play and taking away the feeling of safety that they tend to have.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Legion at all. Legion making survivors play differently also has completely nothing to do with why people don't like him.
Uhhhh, dude. A killer who can jump around objects has a lot to do with a killer who can vault (and people hate that he can vault because blah blah core mechanics), but okay.

Crashes are a thing, though i myself rarely crash, so to me the chances seem small.
Still, it could've happened, and it's not right to fully exclude the possibility.
0.001% is way too small, this game isn't stable enough to reach that number.There are a lot of crashes before the match starts but honestly, I don't even remember when was the last time my game got crashed in mid match.
It is not more than 1% I can easily say that and even that number seems pretty high to me.
The game crashed in the middle of a match for me yesterday and has been blinking in black frames in my past few matches. It's definitely more than 1%
-
None. I used to be a survivor main so it's funny to look back and see how I was really stubborn in my POV while only having half of the information about the game to work with, but I don't really regret it. It's humbling.

It's almost like Legion has 110% movement speed & scratch marks disappear when you're in a frenzy.

You by not dodging are getting experience by playing all types. It sucks at first but you will get better because of it. You become more efficient as a killer.
Yeah, I'm definitely cognizant of that, but I think sometimes it can be easy to fall into a loop of dodging because sometimes it's just exhausting to think about playing against some teams? I've literally had days where people have loaded in and I've decided to go take a nap instead.

@Nickenzie Two separate party queues was already discussed a long time ago though. It would cause long wait times for SWF because no killers would want to go against them.

I’ve yet to see this full blown out death squad that’s here to embarrass the killer.
Really? Because I'm only on my third week of playing killer and I've seen them multiple times. The new death squad is a squad with like 4 toolboxes and prove thyself.
On topic: I used to really like SWF, but then my friends moved onto better games and I switched to playing killer and realized how ######### up SWF is.
