ShrimpTwiggs, this post isn't in the wrong subforum. I just wanted to see how much does it take for dbd to answer to a bug report.You're going to wait awhile then till a mod either moves it or responds to it since they'll answer bug reports in the correct forum 1st. Also why basically try and troll to get a response instead of doing it properly so it gets addressed quicker.

About two minute ques here in California. It seems to me that I keep running into similar survivors though, not saying they’re SWF as they are not together in the lobby. Are there any other survivors out there? Xbox One if it helpsAlso California but rank 1 killer lobbies are better it seems right now but we'll see. Oh and PC btw

They look the same, + nobody sees it. Only you. It is the same style and font. Unlike the rank system.Now here I thought I was the only one with no life, granted I've scaled playing back quite a bit here and there otherwise I'd probably be rank 5-6 now.
Sigh, stupid thing keeps resizing with white borders.

@Dr_Kutchotitzov said:
There should be a filter option in the game to weed out who you do and do not want to face as a killerThere's already stuff like that and while BHVR doesn't ban for some of it EAC will nail you for it and BHVR won't overturn the ban.
Besides which if you start blacklisting people that you can't beat you'll never get better and if they're toxic report them.

It is but oftentimes we only remember the idiot that brought a Freddy into the entire team working on the last gen. The idiot that brought the Bubba into an area where 2 or 3 of you are in a narrow space.

@Master said:
You can play exclusively fredddy to rank 1 too, thats how much rank 1 means at the moment.
No doubt, spirit is above average, but she is nowhere close to nurse or billy.
You can play anyone to rank 1, but how you do it is just as important as it being done and not everyone can take Freddy to rank 1 exclusively.
If you can't play her great at rank 1 that means you can't play her great at rank 1 but she's definitely in same tier as Billy and close to Nurse.
Because unlike those 2 you can mindgame the heck out of people and do generator grabs with ease and be standing in plain view and pull off a mind game.

@Peanits Had it right and @Giche and you've already been told that's a bunch of baloney, swf aren't that hard to beat most of the time. The very coordinated ones are indeed rare although they do exist yet you can still get 1-2 of them if not more.
You and the rest of the killers using this as an excuse refuse to admit that may'be you're the issue here not the swf groups. Marth can go in and destroy 4 man swf groups, others can as well. They didn't get to the point of being so good by blaming everything else for their refusal to get better.
I hit rank 1 by never dodging, never bringing Ruin, adapting my playstyle and finding a killer that suited me. I used the swef strengths against them, i anticipated saves. I realized bait decoys, I knew when to chase and when not to.
In the end most swf groups can be beaten, it just takes longer and if you adapt and learn and get better you'll get 3-4k most games. You'll manage to usually get minimum of 2 kills and max out across the board on pretty much everything.
But if you're all going to keep your head in the sand and your fingers in your ears and blame it on swf etc you'll keep being frustrated.

I want a zero bloodpoint week.
Would like to see how it changes people's behaviour.Silence heathen !!!!!
1.5 week and why did I know I'm just here to troll would get so many, not that I wasn't sorely tempted to click that option. Although that would've been purely for scientific research purposes.

2 weeks after it has been released, I have never encountered rancor again.
Do I need to say more?What ranks do you hover at?
Rancor is honestly strong the way it is. You can try and slug a obsession if there's one gen to go and see if you can get another person downed. Then you can quickly mori them and hook that downed person. Maybe you wanna use Blood Warden with Rancor too?
And if you suck, or you encounter a obviously SWF team that is way too prepared to dismantle, you can just mori to get the one kill needed to safety pip and move on to the next match.
This I use it and see it all the time at rank 1-2 because the good killers know how to use it to it's fullest. The great killers with it are just terrifying and I've even seen scratched Mirror Myers using it and 4king.

@Edilibs said:
First and foremost on the subject of tiers people/players should not refrain from changing they're tier lists. As games develop further and adjustments and balance changes take place tiers change but also "players" should be open to the idea that changing they're tier list chart or rating is not something to be looked down at all.
"What may be true today may not be true tomorrow" and with that said this is my "Killer" Tier List (Rank 1)SS: Nurse, Hillbilly
S: The Spirit, Hag
A+ The Shape, Huntress, Clown, Pig
A: Doctor, Wraith
B+ Trapper, Cannibal
B: FreddyI base this off of the technical aspects (they're ability map presence etc) but also base it off of a 10 game set. The more survivors a killer can down within ten games ( full games with 40 survivors in total) the better they are to the rest.
Every killer has to the potential to kill at least one survivor although all survivors escaping at times is not uncommon. This is what i feel the tier list is right and i'll explain why another time but what are killer mains tiers currently?Thats my tier list:
S+: Nurse
S: Hillbilly
A Myers, The Spirit, Hag
B: Doctor, Wraith, Clown, Huntress
C Trapper, Cannibal, Pig
LUL: FreddyHard to rate spirit because noone plays her anymore. I think the new changes made her a lot better and put her above clown/huntress, but hard to tell without actually playing vs her in the game, but no way that she competes on the same lvl of billy/nurse as so many others claim.
I mained Spirit to rank 1 and she's really good once you get to know ehre and a lot of rank 1-2 killers play her to great effect. The qol changes she got made a huge difference and the pallet changes as well and I'm even seeing a lot of good Myers there as well.
Some good Pigs and Doctors and Trappers a well due to the pallet changes really helping them, but certain maps/killers do better of course. Ahem Doctor/Gideons anyone?

i have no problems, as my lobbies usually fill up within 10 minutes.
idk why so many ppl seem to have problems with their queue times, but it seems a little bugged if you ask me...Waiting 10 minutes for a 5 min genrush game, you see the problem?
The only person that seems to have an issue with 5 min gen rushes now is you, or did you get tired of using the 3 minute not valid anymore excuse? If you can't get 2 kills within 5 minutes then you just need to get better.
-
@Mister_xD said:
so... the killers are staring at you, constantly nodding while you are dying?
dont play toxic in your next games.That'd be false actually since some killers will face camp the 1st person they hook at 5 gens and smack them as if that makes them tough. Then when they get gen rushed whine post game about being gen rushed and swf/ds/flashlights etc.
This despite no one having brought a flashlight, everyone joining separately, no one or just 1 person with ds etc.
-
Spirit is definite up there just below Nurse and I hate facing her since i main her more than i hate facing a Nurse.

Yes we do ban for disconnects on PC.
@HellDescent Sadly it doesn't apply to console yet. Hopefully will get an ETA on this soon!
Why is there a 2 depip on DC when rank is really just an MMR? If a percentage of games are being looked at people can still derank by playing essentially afk games inbetween DC games.
Just remove the depip as well as banning excessive dc.
Wanna be stucked at rank 1 as killer not getting survivors filled for several minutes? So much fun. The only reason why I DC is because of that. Removing the ability to derank will kill this game
No removing the ability to dc will improve it so that if you want to derank go find a nice quiet corner and run Insidious. You derank just fine and don't screw over the other 4 people in your game.

this is the clip I wzs on about as you can see my friends did gen rudh but this wasted a BPS and i only got about 9k points at end of game
I do wish the hooked person should gt credit for gens and being a decoy basically similar to the one you get for distraction. Only this would work based upon if the killer is camping and no survivors are near as well.
So you get credit for gens being done and then get distraction points the longer you keep them occupied.
So again a survivor main asking to get rewards for failure.
You got caught, you are on the hook, you failed.
Now you can decide to be a decent teammate and stay as long as possible, or your just a douche and suicide on the hook or leave.
Rewards are for success.
Killer don't get rewards for escaping survivor either.Actually I'm currently a killer main so that was an epic fail, why is it that everytime someone suggest a buff or qol you and the other extremists cry x main? It's like you can't debate and can only throw insults as bad as the survivor side extremists.
When they eventually turn this into a true horror game and make it a hide and seek you extremist killers are going to have to go find a new game. Because it won't be so easy to find survivors, you'll have to actually hunt and look for those immersed survivors without the benefits of Whispers etc. The loopers will end up disappearing as well on survivor side but that's ok also.

I see a lot of people dc lately lke they dont even careYes if a palyer DCs an insanely high rate of his games, then he will be punished.
But if you only DC every third game or sth like this, then you will be fine. Deranking by DCing is still possible and thats just a big jokeThey dont ban anyone then
The complaint threads on this very forum about being banned for said dc's state otherwise.
-
I've always thought it should be 10% of the purchase price to avoid Bloodpoints being to easy to get back since right now you're much more strategic with where you spend at.
So if you bought a way over priced BNP for 7k you'd get 700 bp back and yes that's not a lot but consider if you sell a bunch of items back you're making it up.
-
So in other words you want survivors that
1.You want survivors to run in straight lines so they're easier to down.
2. Refer to number 1
3.Let you have free hooks and not try and save their team mates or go for they achievement.
4. Don't do totems so you can get free kills with your NOED/Devour Hope
5. Not to taunt you so you'll chase them more while gens done.
6. refer to number 5Lastly don't use that bunch of baloney as an excuse to camp, get better and get kills and thus prove you're better than them.

@Blueberry said:
What's y'alls thoughts on this?Personally, DC'ing to give a hatch and prevent the 4k is a straight up cop out to me. That loses a "gg" from me right there. The hatch is bad enough and it forces the killer to try and slug one while keeping an eye on them and all the gens simultaneously but you're even gonna deny that with a DC? This is also after the slug nerf. I wouldn't slug at all if we weren't forced to in order to 4 man.
Just a pitty that the devs dont see the need to actually punish players for DCing.
What's a pity is that you keep posting things like that you know to be completely untrue as evidenced by all the complaint threads on here about getting banned for dcing.

United StatesGermany & Japan have SIMILARLY named holidays....So...Not thankgiving in that sense.
Norfolk island is an Australian territory, not a country so you cant play that one sorryNitpicking won't get you anywhere, those countries are commonly accepted as having a holiday around Thanksgiving.
Just because you don't want an event around Thanksgiving becue Americans and other countries do in fact celebrate it. You can argue semantics all you want but you got answers that you didn't like even if only part of that list is accurate.

As long as survivor mains threaten to bombard the game with negative reviews like the entitled douchebags they are then Mathieu and the rest of the dev team will continue to cater to pedochido and the rest of his cancerous fanbase.Sad but true
thye need to ban anyone associated with he who must not be named
They cant even bann he who must not be named.....
Well that's funny since they perma banned him off PC, as far as PS4 goes that's up to Sony since they handle the bans their side.
Sony doesnt hand out banns for stuff that happens ingame.
Thats BHVRs job but they dont have the tools to do that yet ( I wonder why they released it first tbh, guess money > quality)Well they did have a lot of people wanting to play and probably thought they could get Sony to grant ban access but everyone has to fight tooth and nail with them to get it. Sony can't ban for actions in game per se but for actions that violate their TOS/EULA.
Things such as hacking/botting/harassment, death threats etc all they need is proof and they cna ban the entire account.
-
I'm destroying with Spirit at rank 1 right now and generally get 3-4k unless I totally mess up then I'm lucky to get 1 or 2. Mostly it just boils down to mastering a killer that suits your playstyle, learning where good and bad spots are, who to chase who to ignore etc.
I never once have used ruin which i find actually catches people off guard for NOED because they see no lit totems and Ruin's not up. So they either gen rush or if your map pressure is good they don't cleanse and you get 1-2 more kills.
I'm having lots of fun with Rancor and I've faced Myers running it at rank 1 and doing quite well as well. You just need to learn what works, what doesn't, and learn from your mistakes. If you face swf and you've played swf you should know what they'll do and when.

fabled: well known for being of great quality or rarity; famous.
Well, we know you don't view that squad as having great quality, so you must mean they're super rare.In short, you're gonna stop playing because of 1 occurrence.
I dislike those squads too, but i find that to be a crying-baby reason to quit.Yeah as I explained in his thread it's not that difficult really and I even broke down all his arguments and gave counter points to them.
-
I don't dc to give hatch ever and I can and will suicide to give the hatch and that last part isn't cheating or sweaty, or abusing mechanics and all the entitled killers need to stop on that point.
Whether I'm in solo or swf is i know someone has found hatch i'll suicide on hook and as a killer i always keep an eye on that as well. If I 3k that's a overwhelming victory for me, 4k total world domination, but if one gets out no biggie.
-
@Rebel_Raven I just hit rank 1 and I never ever used Ruin not 1 x and Noed i didn't start using until deep into rank 12. I never once dodged a single match and took what was given to me. I didn't use Franklin's until 1 pip from rank 5 and then I use dit 6x. I faced 4 man swf with 4 items and didn't whine on here nor dodge.
Most of my games weren't sub 5 minutes so that excuse doesn't hold any water since it's way over used..In fact most of my matches were longer in the 7-15+ minute range. I faced well equipped and well coordinated groups including Stypics, 3 legacy at once, syringes 4 DS etc.
Sometimes I got destroyed but I still had a lot of fun because I had some good laughs with the survivors post game. There was quite a few times I destroyed 4 man swf groups that had great items and were well coordinated but yet still only got 1-2 gens done.
Since I've done swf as well as solo I know how they'll play and because i don't dodge them i know what to expect. I took it as a challenge to get better so I'd have more fun in playing against these groups. I've had groups that destroyed me as well as that I've destroyed add me as a friend because the matches were so good.
If you don't want to be that good to fight swf's then you're going to get destroyed by competent solo q's and then the complaints will arise again.
also inb4 the usual Nurse stuff starts I mained Spirit the entire way from 12 and below and played Doctor above that trying to master him, Freddy 1x at rank 7 trying for Adept unique ( didn't end well) Trapper above 15, Nurse only to do dailies, same for Huntress, Myers and Pig same.
I depipped quite a bit since if anyone crashed during loading screen or right at start i let people farm. the devs aren't going to implement a dodging mechanic no matter how much you or anyone else complains for it. The game was always intended to have a swf part it just didn't make it in in time.
-
They won't do it and dodging doesn't help you get better at all, sure you'll get smoked in some matches but you'll also do the same. If you keep lobby shopping for an easy match then when you get matched against 4 solos that know what they're doing you'll get smoked then whine in post game about swf when it was your lack of skill.

Sorry for the derail, but how are you BBM! Haven’t seen you since my time on the Steam forums. Glad to have you here!
No worries on the derail, it's always nice to see 2 longtime friends(?) get back in touch.
-
I have to admit I must be doing really well given some of the ahem comments I've gotten, especially from 3 and 4 man swf groups. The solo q people can be quite talkative as well but at rank 1-2 you'd think they'd know better.
On second thought given some of my teammates in solo q at ran 1-2 lately I think there's way too many boosted accounts out there.
-
You do realize that there's several set spawns and the killer is almost always opposite said set spawns so it's the 1st place they look.
-
@Rebel_Raven said:
2 of the worst survivor spawns in the game. Very close to the killer, and very close to a lit totem.
The latter isn't great for the killer either.What's even worse if it's it's the killer Ruin totem and they see you spawn enar it you get tunneled and camped lol.
-
@Tzeentchling9 said:
You know the Killer can have obsession perks too, right?This is very true, Rancor, Play With Your Food etc andl spawns are sometimes bad as in you spawn on top of a hill and killer spawns 24 meters or less away looking right at you. I've spawned as killer within 15 meters or less of survivors at times and had it happen to me as well.

So why not just close the chat? I seriously don't get why you come here to complain when you got a close chat button.did I say I was complaining, did I say I wasn't amused by it? You see I'm an adult and I don't get bothered by it that much other than to laugh about it. I posted it here for my fellow fog travellers to get a laugh out of it and share their stories and see if they've gotten an uptick or not as well.

Well at least I can feel comfort in knowing I'm not the only one up so late reading this.
But due to lack of sleep and probably old age I can't think of anything funny to add.
-
If it was solo q only style and not always on that'd be a good way to do it so it starts out at 5 showing as match starts. Then once one is cleansed it shows 4 for a few seconds then disappears or something like that. To make it fair to the killers you could have a small popup for killers as well although that might be a little broken.

All hail the Decp ti cat

I just had 1 person flame me then try and add me as a friend on Steam lol

I've been willing to farm and I've even thrown out BPS only to get flamed for using NOED/Spirit lol One person post game went full on ballistic because I had NOED after they gen rushed. He complained that they didn't do totems because Ruin wasn't up. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I just finally got Ruin unlocked in my bloodweb now have to get it to drop. But for the most part the survivors don't want to farm while others are making it super fun to do so.
I've had full groups do the meme crouch on Lery's and this last group 1 person dc'd instantly and the other 3 we were all laughing so hard because they did a Merry Go Round in reverse on a gen. They'd each move left 1 position after each tap.
But in all seriousness even the Blight event wasn't this nasty.

You know that most of the killers are addon depedent and lose their stuff every game, even if they win?
You already know that killers earn way more bloodpints than survivors so they can get those items right back.

The only one who could be "punished" by that situation is if the Killer truly ONLY targets them because of the other Survivor.

Also notice how one of the usual Ochidolings are spamming "LOL" on this thread .

Those one got Freddy nerfed, while the one complaining for Rin got her changed to be VIABLE.
At least be honest about it.
Yeah I'm maining her right now but combine her with NOED which I've been running since rank 12 and you get no skill trash killer NOED/Rancor lol. I actually hate facing her more than Nurse at rank 1 right now since a really good Spirit is super difficult to beat.
