Well that's kind of the problem I don't boot up the game go into killer, select Trickster and stare at him all day, I play the game. So the way he looks doesn't matter when you can't even play him because of all his gameplay issues. The art team did a good job and that's great and then the rest of him got completely destroyed by the way he plays. They had the PTB and barely listened to any of the feedback, they released him like this so now what? Wait for update after update till something finally clicks in their heads and they make him into what he should be? That's just not acceptable when there's literally thousands of people doing their job for them and telling them what he needs.

I guess we play for different reasons. I've been a red rank killer and it was boring, so I mostly play to stream to my friends. Most of my matches are just me running around yelling at survivors to come back and look at my cool outfit & my friends telling me whether or not I should let people live based on random things like what outfits they have or whether or not they appreciate whatever dumb thing I'm doing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Buffs would make him more fun for sure though.

???

The art team did a great job. I don't like anime or kpop and I love the look of the killer. The idea of his power is fine, he just needs some major buffs or to be a 115% killer to make up for how ######### he is in loops/jungle gyms instead of 110%.

Trickster needs buffs badly.

I will say that I've found that the most effective way to play him is to literally just hold down the knife button and spam like he has an SMG.

in What’s with all the ALL-KILL hate? Comment by mintchapstick March 31, 2021

To be honest, he seems like he's a sign that Dead by Daylight is on the path to change and that's not necessarily a bad thing. If they leaned more into knowing what their game really is, they'll be able to do more with it.

No mither players that couldn't be picked from a locker or hooked. They could also freeze other survivors in place and disabled my power or the ability to interact with pallets.
Insta gen completion.
A Spirit with hidden Stridor.
A Huntress running Bond.

Tbf the Spirit could have just had really good headphones. I have expensive headphones with spatial sound and I can hear the craziest things.

in What type of cheats you bumped into? Comment by mintchapstick December 28, 2020

I'm a PC player and I hate playing injured. The pools of blood that you leave everywhere are a life saver for me when I'm playing killer, so I try to avoid them as a survivor. Plus, I'm just kind of trash at looping.

in Do PC survivors play injured? Comment by mintchapstick December 23, 2020

Sounds cues are so huge for Dead by Daylight on both sides. They ARE actually really necessary.

in Are sound cues really necessary? Comment by mintchapstick December 23, 2020

I found a Feng yesterday wearing all green and hiding in the bamboo because I was walking past and I heard a little gasp for air. I never would have seen her otherwise. Like, I literally couldn't see her because it's impossible to see through the bamboo, so holy crap, I'd say audio cues are less overpowered than that.

Let me just tell her to stop chasing me so I can heal to counter strider.

If she's chasing you & you're injured she'd find you without stridor.

in Is Stridor going to get reworked at any point? Comment by mintchapstick December 21, 2020

It just gets people out of the match early. I rarely camp/tunnel because I play a lot of survivor and I like everyone to have fun--but I will say, I camped/tunneled an Ace that teabagged me with a key in his hand the last time I played. At that point, he was the only one I wanted dead, I let someone else leave because they had a nice outfit.

As for hating being tunneled/camped... that's pretty obvious, right? You literally can't play the game?

in Is there a psychology behind tunneling and camping? Comment by mintchapstick December 19, 2020

Absolutely not hahahha. That'd be insanely OP.

I've been playing for a long time too--it's never been THAT difficult to rank up.

thanks for the advise. i think too the problem with me is that im not too familiar with the killers mechanics and i panic slash. if the survivors are just being good at their objective, no problem. i cant get mad if they are good. its when they are toxic that i want them to die that much more. im still a wholesome killer tho i wont face camp a toxic survivor.

Mad Grit is a good perk for when you're being bullied by survivors that chase you while you're carrying people who have been downed. But I feel you! It can be pretty tough.

Heh. Talk about assumptions. I do always ask. Most SWF are up front about it. I like to know if I'm right or wrong. It is a game within a game. I do ask whenever I think I'm playing a SWF if they are as SWF. They are up front about it. And that is yet another way I know I face a LOT more SWF than I do Solos.

Cool! Now keep a log of it & come back to me when you're done! I have to go play Cyberpunk2077.

Actually I do know, and I figure it out very quickly. As I was telling the other poster, I like to feed SWF information and let them see me doing something because they relay the information to EVERYONE on the team. Remember, I favor the Wall Hacking Myers with the maximum range of it. If I do something, letting one of them see me do it, and then watch 2-3 other people who could not see me react accordingly to the information they just got over the wire.... I KNOW. I generally do a test like this very early in the game just to figure it out.
My suggestion to you is try it yourself. Play a Spooky Myers and do something that only one Survivor can see (while watching multiple of them through the wall hack) and watch how many of them react almost instantly to the change in your behavior. You may not like me (fair enough) but I think you are a more or less fair-minded person. I suspect if you saw how I'm doing it yourself, and that it works, that you would accept that I have a reliable way of knowing when I'm facing a SWF. Can all Killers do this? No. I never said they could. I said I know, and I am explaining how I figure it out.

Yeah, no. You're making way too many assumptions. You can't definitively say why someone is doing something like walking in a new direction.

Ask in your matches, get data, and then we'll talk again.

I'm not focused on anything, but I thought that might be a good test. You feel one way about it (a rather extreme point of view), and I feel the other. It seemed the mature, grown up thing to just test it and get our answer. But I'm patient. You indicate that you are a Red Rank Survivor. I'm sure you will show up in one of my matches eventually. Since I play Spooky most of the time these days, we can test it then.
In regards to how many SWF I face (and how many of them are really good), there is no way to verify that until the DEV do what many of us are asking and reveal to the Killer when they are facing (or faced) a SWF. Until that time, we have to use our judgement based on game play and what we experience first hand. I know when I'm facing a SWF and when I'm not with a pretty fair degree of accuracy. I face more SWF than Solo these days. You seem determined to tell me I'm wrong. I find it amusing. Be sure to let me know, when we do run across each other, if I was facing you in your 4-Stack or as a Solo. Until then, we will just have to agree to disagree.

There's too many variables to your proposed test. It's too based on personal skill (on both sides), as well as perk loadout/items, luck with positioning & maps, not to mention the map RNG. Not to mention that it's a "test" that has absolutely nothing to do with the statistics of SWF teams. Playing against each other is not even remotely related to that number.

& see, that's what I'm saying--you literally don't factually know. You can't in one breath say that your personal experiences are the truth while disallowing someone else to use THEIR own experiences as competing evidence because your PERSONAL EXPERIENCE is not inherently more valid than anyone else's experiences. Our evidence--anecdotal evidence that is entirely based on personal experiences--is equally valid and can only be countered by data & statistics gathered over time.

I find it ~amusing~ that you're so stuck up your own ass that you unironically tried to argue that your evidence gathered through personal experience is only anecdotal when it's used to support an argument.

Edit: BTW, essentially saying "1VS1 ME, BRO" is not the mature way to settle this discussion--I don't understand why you'd think it would be. The mature method is to gather statistical data which you already declined to do.

Then I hope you're playing in a 4-man group that is comfortable with that, because I'd hate to have a drinker or dope smoker on my team who has no interest in winning because they're too busy having 'fun'.

A DRINKER OR DOPE SMOKER. Holy cow, you're cracking me up, my guy.

Isn't it though? Heck, I was willing to put anecdotal aside and put some things to the real test but you declined. I think you must LIKE anecdotal rather than putting your money where your mouth is... just saying. ;)

Nah, and your experiment would prove nothing because you're focusing on my saying that spine chill negates scratched mirror Myers, not the amount of sweaty 4 stacks you're paired against. What you should do, if you really want a "real test" to know who's experiences are more common, is start to ask after matches if they're solo players or stacked & what their stack numbers are (2 stack, 3 stack, 4 stack). Keep a record of it--it might surprise you how many people you assumed are 4 stacks are solos or 2 stacks.

no bro THEY FOLLOW ME! any time i get in a chase with someone that is ACTUALLY MY RANK the high rank will follow and pallet stun/flashlight (which is okay) but the t bagging and pointing
Like I said ITS DAY TWO IM RANK LIKE 17 AND THEYRE RANK 4 ######### IS UP WITH THIS SYSTEM. It shouldn't be the way it is. Completely outmatched to begin with, whats the point? They get a free win off of a rank 20-17? How is that a win. I'm not going to become a total sociopath and just not give a dang. All i'm saying is that as killer, day two, i've seen so much toxicity on this side that it blows all of my previous interactions with toxic killers out of the water.

Just ignore them & don't pick up under pallets, give them a slap when they're crowding you. Slap them away before you do pick ups or look at a wall if you can, and then always look up when you're carrying to hooks.

Remember too, if someone is chasing you, that is one less survivor that's doing gens.

Fair enough. We can agree to disagree. You can continue to tell me I'm wrong about what I experience first hand and you just assume.

& you can tell ME that I'm wrong about the experiences that I've also had first hand! What a fun conversation this is. Anecdotal evidence is the best!
