I run Blood Warden specifically for the jerk survivor situation. It doesn't come in handy often but when it does...
Had a foursome v Oni. Jerks gonna jerk as they sit at the gate so I wander away as usual. One of them gets cute though and finds a pallet to slide on repeatedly.
I find enough blood to go into Hulk Smash mode and run back. He times it poorly and Hulk Smash. The other 3 swarm me as I pick him up and get him off the hook ASAP....with about 35 sec or so left in EGC. 35 glorious seconds of me just shaking my head no as the four of them realize they done goofed bad...
Three messages in my inbox later and it was great. Two LOL'ed and thought it was hilarious but #3 was soooooo salty, I think my heart got damaged. It was awesome.
-
People have been asking for this for ages. I think everyone but The Dev Team wants this change done...
-
A friendly reminder too that many survivors getting Kobe'd in their face after running halfway across the map to save you will let you die next hook out of complete spite...
-
No one runs it for the same reason no one runs all the other incredibly niche perks; it only truly comes in handy maybe once every 50 games
If you need it that one game, it's a life saver and you'll be incredibly happy you have it on. In the other 49 games, you're playing with 3 perks because it never comes into play...
-
I had something similar happen a week or two ago where there were five survivors
Although the game never actually loaded, it basically did the "Killer disconnected during load" message but there were five of us in the "running" end game picture. It was neat.

Killer was so bummed that they didn't even bother showing up :D
Guess it was last month. Either way!

You Have the new Xbox? Is it really better? Do you experience any frame drops at all? I need to know
So far, I have had zero issues at all with DBD. The game is considerably better and is well worth investing in a new console if DBD is going to remain in your future. The game is smooth as butter and it is damn gorgeous at 4K.
Honestly, I don't want to sound like I'm overselling here but DBD on the Series X (and presumably PS5) is WORLDS better than it was on the Xbox One (or presumably PS4). I expected a bit of a boost with the Series X but it's easier to do everything as a killer when it actually runs the way it feels like it should...
If you've got the money (and can find the damn things), I'd strongly recommend DBD on the new gen over the old gen.
EDIT: There is one drawback...

(That's what she said!!! ...hey....wait)
So I finally got my Xbox Series X today. YAY!!!!
However...
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/CKJH3U9TWK9Z/dbd.jpg
As you can see with my screenshot, everything but the character model looks weirdly tiny (except for Ace, he still gets to be normal sized). This isn't a game breaking problem or whatnot but when in game getting skill checks, the skill checker thingy is also pretty tiny. I can play like this but it's not optimal.
I have no idea if this is something I can do something about as I'm being told by Discord Buddies that this is a 4K thing and basically not everything is coded to blow up to 4K like they should be. So it sounds like I either have to wait for BHVR to fix this or I switch down to 1080 mode and be sad that I don't get to 4K for the time being.
However, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Anyone familiar with this issue? If so, is there a way that I am able to fix it (besides dumbing down my connection to 1080) or am I stuck with tiny vision until BHVR fixes it?
Thanks!
This does hurt a bit as a survivor (it's not unplayable in this state but the skill check stuff is considerably smaller on the next gen stuff due to the 4K resolution).

I just got my Series X yesterday
Holy balls playing Plague is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better! Like...she's actually a pretty viable killer now. I can stream my vomit at people and actually aim it. They don't get all jaggy and laggy when I barf at them. I am actually now able to do the steady barf stream attack where you damage them with sickness before smacking them. I would have never even attempted that on the Xbox One due to how hard it was to control.
I liked playing Plague anyway but this makes her a decent killer now instead of someone I play with the knowledge that I expect to have 4 escapes with...
-
Whatever the reason is, if the game is disconnecting like that, it's going to give you a penalty. All this stupid game takes is a one second blip of lost internet connectivity and you just got booted out of the game...
If it's doing it constantly and you can recreate it (which it sounds like you can as you said whenever you play as a killer), make a Bug Report and have them look into it
-
Yup
Some of these killer powers are just getting too inconsistent to count on using, which is kind of a big deal for someone like Deathslinger where using his powers is the only way to make him useful...
I had three people body blocking each other trying to storm through the gate and I fired right into the crowd. I couldn't have missed if I purposefully tried to miss in that pile of bodies but nope! Game thought LOL and I didn't hit one of them somehow...
-
@Trashmaster said:
Well isn't UI scaling going to be a thing with next patch (or is it just the in-game HUD?) so you can adjust it
That's my hope. The game is certainly playable in this state but having the skill check things be small like that too makes it just a little bit harder to hit them...
-
@[Deleted User] said:
you're stuck with it unless you turn down to 1080. ALTHOUGH i think the next mid-chapter will allow you to increase the hud size which includes skill-checks i hope. if it doesn't you're stuck with a miniature hud on 4k.
That sounded like it would be the case but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask in case I missed something...
Thanks!

Oof,i miss these close matches where everybody gets a chance to outplay the other side but now it's just stomp or get stomped :(
Honestly, that's part of the other issue too. I don't know if it's the matchmaking or what. There are very few close games where I've won or lost by the skin of my teeth. THOSE are the games that make the game fun and they're rarer and rarer and rarer the longer I play.
Now I'd say 80% of my games are a curb stomping; either I get curb stomped or I am curb stomping and neither of those games are all that much fun...

It has been like this for months.. I still doesn’t have the slightest interest in getting back to this game.
Nothing in this game is fun for me anymore. All games are stressful, and I need to bear all kinds of toxicity and bullshits in this game.
Sometimes I tried to do a fun build. But why would it be fun when the other side try as hard as they could to win the game? And if I try to win like they do, it is stressful and not fun. This is especially true when playing as killer, which is the role I play the most.
Every time I want to boot up the game, I got the strange feeling that keeps me away from it. I can’t even put my mouse cursor over the game icon.
Does anyone feel the same like this? Or any past experiences?
It's getting there quickly
Last night, six GD games in a row as killer against the sweaty SWF squads. Everyone has DS, Unbreakable, Dead Hard, and some random fourth perk that is also designed to ruin any fun. And you can tell these are SWFs too because two of the games, that fourth perk was Head On and so they'd lead chases right to their head-on buddies (there's about a two percent chance that that happens organically). I was so incredibly frustrated and pissed away almost two hours of my life not being some badass killer but being four ######### plaything that only existed for them to feel superior to by doing everything they could to make it a sucky experience...
Then this morning, I boot up as survivor. First game, I get left on the hook as everyone is too busy hiding with five gens left to help and then second game playing against Ghost Face and getting another game of "he stares at me while I stare at him but he exposes me because the reveal mechanic has just stopped working"
Having fun but fair matches seems to be rarer and rarer and rarer as time goes on. I have no issues with losing (as a solo queuer, I EXPECT to die every match) but losing with fun and losing because it's broken are two very different feelings...
-
I wouldn't
The game is fun at times but it is very quickly loosing it's shine as I get to my one year mark playing it. At this point, I think I've put all the money I plan on putting in this game until they fix some of the so obviously broken things (anyone play Ghostface lately? His powers might as well just be "He finds you and exposes you and you die" for all the good his "reveal" mechanic does now).
-
Because I'm a ######### moron who evidently loves being abused
It's the only thing I can think of at the moment
-
If I were smart, I'd leave
But I'm not. I'll stay here, keeping being a plaything for a bunch of ######### using four second chance perks, getting pissed off, and then playing another match to do it all over again
I wish I wasn't such a ######### moron...
-
It's always seems to be very finicky. I've had protection hits where there were no survivors near me (I suppose they might have been hiding really well right next to me). I've had protection hits not register when I was so close to a survivor I think I owe them breakfast tomorrow morning.
Really the only surefire way to get the protection hit is if they are being carried by the killer. I've never been hit that way and not gotten the protective hit.

I do my very best to make it a fun game for all. You gotta do something pretty annoying to get me to change my mind (switch to keys at the very last second, excessive t-bagging and clickity clicks, running directly at me during a unsafe hook to bodyblock knowing you have BT, etc).
-
Twice yesterday. I'm on Xbox One and twice as a survivor I got the "Host Disconnected" error. The End Screen showed the killer left the game and I got all my bloodpoints but I still got a five minute timeout for it. So i don't know if you count that as a crash or not since I stayed in the game the entire time.
Nothing yet today so I'm not sure if I was just unlucky or what happened yesterday.
-
I still greatly enjoy playing the barfy lady. I just kind of go in expecting to get absolutely smoked by even just competent survivors but she's so much fun to play as that I'm not all that concerned about it.
It would be nice if she got some kind of buff as she is one of the weakest killers in the game
-
I'm perfectly fine with original characters. I don't have to spend money to get original survivors/killers...
-
How in the hell are you playing with people you know and manage to get stuck for 25+ minutes?
Just have your team open the gate, take the L, and learn a valuable lesson here (and report them, though I'm not sure if it counts as taking the game hostage considering it's your team keeping the game from ending, not the killer but hey, see what happens)
-
This has always been a problem with this forum and unless the mods/BHVR start enforcing a "one thread per topic" policy, it'll always be a problem here.
Everybody wants to have their own thread about beating a dead horse rather than just discuss things in the other threads already open on beating a dead horse.

I didn't ask u why I didn't get lots of bloodpoints. I asked why I didn't get rewarded, why I lost pip. For what reason you are thinking I care about bloodpoints I've got in this match?
I don't know why you're throwing a fit at me.
You've been given your answer by myself and FFirebrandd (their answer is better though; BP gained and emblems gained are related and similar but not a complete crossover).

You blame me for gen rushing? But what should I have done? Do totems and prevent the perk from appearing that the Killer might not even have? Or make the Killer chase me when he chases others? What a biased statement.
You asked why you didn't get more points and I told you. There's no bias to it; you didn't gain a ton of points because your team flew through the gens (thereby making you not get boldness points by doing totems or being in chases and not get altruism because no one was needing rescue or healing; half of your potential points are minimal now).
If you want more points and the killer is not very good, then yeah, you kind of gotta "force" them to chase you or you're not going to score a lot of points.
-
Yes, you guys went too fast
The only points you would have gotten were from repairs. Everything else from your description, you'd get virtually zero points on.
It's why I get baffled how many people gen rush, especially when BPS or something is in play. You're losing a ton of points by rushing through as fast as you possibly can...
-
Prey and hope it works. Or if you are Ghostface, pray and hope that it doesn't work.
Having Ghost Face center in your camera is the only real tip that can be given but you can flip a coin to determine if you'll actually catch him or if he'll stare at you long enough to get the one hit kill shot...

Oooh I didn’t know that. And actually that scenario is what happened both of the games. He camped me and the survivors were getting hit while trying to rescue me.... very frustrating. Lol smh
Yup and unfortunately it works well because too many survivors play right into it. I know it sucks to sit there as the camped but the best plan if the killer clearly won't leave is hammer the gens. At EGC, you can sometimes get away with getting the camped freed but all you're going to do is keep trading hooks or getting someone tunneled out if you swarm the hook to save them if the gens aren't done.
All you do is reward the killer for camping if you keep trying to save the camped.
-
Your suggestion is already in play. Killers who stand too close to the survivor loses points.
They also indirectly lose a lot of points as they are not chasing or hitting people and whatnot. A killer who camps usually won't break 10k unless the other survivors feed them trying to save the camped.
-
I always try to be at least a fair killer. I try not to tunnel. I try not to camp. Hell, if I'm dominating a game, I'll take my foot off the gas (maybe instead of hooking that guy for the third time, I'll let him lie on the ground and get picked back up).
But I 10000% understand why some killers get so salty over survivor behavior that I get why killers become jerks. It's amazing how many times I'll let someone get up only to find them in the end game sitting in the gate area T-Bagging so fast I'm amazed they don't pull a groin muscle.
-
I can't speak for everyone but I know for me, being a killer can be incredibly frustrating. I get two kinds of games nowadays it seems; a group of potatoes that aren't fun to kill because it's basically killing flies as they're just too dumb to do anything effectively or the SWF SWAT Team that runs with a precision that would make a Navy Seal team go "Wow, those guys are hella coordinated". Neither of those groups are fun to play against but the majority of my matches are going to be against one or the other.
It feels incredibly rare nowadays that I get a team where either I won or they just barely escaped by the skin of their teeth...

@Zephinism said:
Im rank 4 at the moment and my queues are at best 2 minutes for survivor. Is this meant to be bad?
It depends on the time of day and your location. Like right now for me, I can get in a game as a survivor in less than a minute (It's 8:15am here in my part of America). As the day goes on though for this area, that time will get higher and higher. I've never hit the dreaded double digit wait times but at least if people on the forum here are to believed, there are places where you're getting 10+ minutes of queue time as a survivor.
-
It's not really a mystery to anyone who has spent more than five minutes on this forum...
-
That's my favorite part of playing Twitch streamers. I love watching the match from their perspective as a survivor.
It helped me become a lot more aware of my own playstyle and figure out counters and whatnot
-
Victor disappears if you down a survivor with him on his back (reappearing back on Charlotte). If a survivor has Victor on their back, they cannot escape. Along with that, if you down someone with Victor on their back right at the gate, the gate won't let the survivor actually leave for a few seconds so if you grab them immediately, you can still grab a survivor and hook them.
-
There seem to be two kinds of streamers and only two kinds of streamers
- People who are there to have fun
- Tryhard Sweaty Survivors
The people who are there to have fun are the ones you want to find. The tryhard sweaty survivors are the ones who will just whine and complain when it's going badly
-
I mean, it does suck but this feels like a survivor screwing you over rather than Deathslinger screwing you over. While it would be nice if the Deathslinger chose to go after someone else rather than you if the options are right there in front of him, he has no obligation to let your team get away with stupid decisions.
Your teammate chose to unhook you in the face of the Deathslinger. Their choice got you killed.

@KayTwoAyy said:
If a wounded survivor comes to me and crouches while i'm at 70% or more gen progress I absolutely will not heal you first. Possibly a hot take, but my reason is two-fold...
- It wont take that long for both of us to crank out the gen, so just help me with it
- If I start healing you and the killer comes over, now we have an unfinished generator and an unhealed survivor
Far too often a survivor will t-bag me while i finish the last 30%, only for a killer to come over and interupt me at 95%. The injured survivor scatters like a scared puppy and the generator never gets complete (possibly even popped if I'm caught in a deadzone). In that scenario, I will not have been able to finish the heal, but I would gladly take a protection hit and aggro if the teammate helped fix the generator.
What I do is I get the gen to about 95% and then stop to heal them
If the killer comes, you can pop it off quickly and run like hell. If the killer doesn't come, you can give them the heal before the big neon "WE'RE OVER HERE!!!!" firework pops off.
I'd say I wait to 99% on the gen but since I'm solo, I can't/don't expect the wounded survivor to realize my plan so I have the 5% buffer so they can stop before it finishes. If they choose to finish it instead and risk it, I'm fine with that too but I want to give the hurt guy the option.

U guys sure killer gets priority? I've had a killer close the hatch mid Jump animation and I've gone right through the closed hatch still.
You weren't at the handle part (you were on the side of it).
The survivor was positioned incredibly well so you may have been SOL either way but I've found that as long as I stand at the handle part of the hatch, the killer will always close it before the survivor can jump out.
-
The killer gets the priority but you want to be standing on the opening spot first (so standing on the handle part). The survivor can still manage to get out if for some reason the killer isn't hitting the Close Button when it opens but the killer gets the first crack at it as long as they're standing on the right spot.
-
The problem with this (and many many many of the niche perks) is that they're all niche perks. Basically they're perks that come in handy in very specific situations. If that specific situation happens to happen, you'll be super glad you have that perk on but most of the time, those situations happen maybe once every game or two and the rest of the time you're wasting a perk slot on a perk that won't ever come into play...
-
Nope!
I don't believe is does anything at all. I don't know if BHVR had a plan to do something with this or what but to my knowledge, it does nothing. Unless it does something subtle in the background BHVR is keeping secret, doing the thumbs up/down doesn't seem to do a thing

I personally don't care, survivors think they're so smart going under the hook, but don't seem to realize that I'm camping half of their team
That's basically my thoughts. If you hide under the hook as a survivor, you've downright crippled your team. The other two can't save you and unless there's only one gen left, the hooked and downed person are going to die before the others will be able to finish the gens and leave...

I was lucky enough to get this one way back when Nurse was pretty op. I reckon it´s much harder now, maybe this is one you may want to cheese with farming Survivors.
I pulled it off doing it with a two blink (through the wall at the Saloon). I was absolutely ecstatic with glee thinking I managed to nail the achievement...
🎵 Hello Darkness my Old Friend 🎵
-
I doubt I'll ever get the 100% unfortunately. The Nurse's Achievement alone I'm not even sure is possible anymore (use 3 blinks to get to a survivor and pull them off of a gen). You only get two blinks with the Nurse (there is the add-on that lets you blink 3 times but then you can't go through walls or anything; you would need such a perfect storm of luck and survivor stupidity for you to pull that off naturally that it's basically not possible).
-
I think I've done that exactly twice in this game (on purpose, every other time it was the janky-ass framerate this game gets sometimes because BHVR still insists that a game mechanic where you need to press a button once every second but has framerate hits every so often that makes the game not realize you're pressing a button is a winning combination).
Both times it was for the same exact reason. Three survivors crouch hiding all around the map (not even at least doing gens or totems, just crouching and unless the killer can be in three places at once, only one of these people could have a potential excuse of the killer being by them) while I'm sitting there on my first hook only to FINALLY get the balls to come save me once I'm halfway through my 2nd hook.
Is it incredibly spiteful and petty to specifically wait for the survivor to come grab you before you let yourself go like that? Yup! Would I do it again in the same situation? Insert "I'll F'in do it again" Goofy.jpg here
-
Yeah, there are a lot of silly survivors who do stupid things and then get pissy at the killer for having the audacity to not let the survivor get away with the stupid thing.
My favorite is the dangerous unhook and the BT survivor running at you to body block the survivor who did a unsafe unhook. Then for some reason, I'M the bad guy when I decide to just wait 20 seconds before slapping you down. You clearly wanted to get hit survivor, you can't get mad at me for granting your wish!

That’s all well and good (and I use Bond for the same reason), but there’s no excuse for someone leading the chase to a gen highlighted in yellow because of Better Together.
Oh, I thought you were just making a sarcastic joke in the title :D
