Wait, where is it revealed that Lisa Sherwood/The Hag is African? Her bio on the PS4 refers to a village and some elders, but that’s it from what I see.

Edit:

looking at her offerings, not that it matters much since a lot of them are random. But one offering is a Swamp Orchid Necklace, and orchids are more common in Central and South America, and “mud turtles” originate from America and have orange eggs. She has a Cracked Turtle Shell offering that is described as being orange.

I think she’s Central or South American

They are the 4 original survivors:

Claudette

Meg

Dwight

Jake

They are in the game.

The launch trailer only shows three characters. A guy with a baseball cap who looks like a significantly less nerdy Dwight. A girl who looks like a hybrid of both Claudette and Meg, and a nerdy librarian girl hanging from a hook. I haven’t seen any confirmation that those characters had the same names and backstory as any of the four that were released with the game.

These character designs were the original rough drafts of the three. They probably switched races for the girls, and then decided to make Dwight nerdy to make him more relatable.

That being said, I’d honestly love it if they added the three of them in with different abilities and names/backgrounds. Their designs are unique enough that they could certainly stand out, and possibly even be able to represent some of the quoted characters off of perks and items. One could even be Vigo, though I’d prefer if they gave Vigo a different design then any of those three.

Killers should not lose add-ons either when all survivors DC. Fair is fair.

It'd be fair for neither side to lose items/addons/offerings if someone dc's like that. In the case of swf it should be if it's game crash related and not an intentional dc. The same should be true for either side dcing just because they don't like the map/offerings.

This 100%

in will devs ever fix the issue of survivors losing item's to dc killers Comment by xmenfanatic September 10, 2018

I don’t see why you should have to pic, between the two alone. But if you’re genuinely limiting yourself to the two options, I think not playing toxic is the obvious answer figuring it’s....toxic. Play stealthy, and don’t be a jerk to other players

in Is it better to be toxic or stealthy? Comment by xmenfanatic September 9, 2018

Definitely not. The Nurse needs to stay how she is, at least from my experience playing her and against her

@Master how is that positive? It’s a difference of a second or two.

@xmenfanatic it was purposeful. Attempt to escape ASAP till struggle then immediate death from a purple perk person.

Do I really have to explain why not-DCing is a good thing in a multiplayer game?
Yikes, seems like we truely have come this far now

Its about time that the devs punish DCing

Absolutely dude! I think a DC should definitely get a penalty. If there was a way to record and keep track of being downed or on a hook paired with DCing, that would be even better.

I guess he would become a killer?

Since according to the lore survivor that lost all hope of escape are repurposed by the entity as killer.

Where is this come from?

I can’t say where atm, but I’ve read something similar. I don’t think that’s specifically the case though. The entity pushes people to kill instead of survive, but now I am wondering What happens to a survivor who loses all hope, but has no drive to kill either....

You'll just bring back the Iron Grasp meta and everybody will complain about Iron Grasp.

Honestly, I feel like most killers I go against use it all the time already. Maybe just my dumb luck, and not as common as it appears.

Also yes, I meant 20 meters, not 200

I do see how if they boosted it, the perk would become more popular. But I also think that decisive strike, self care, and sprint burst should be weakened considerably, and a few other perks should get boosts. It’ll add more variety to survivor builds for sure.

Edit: and honestly I don’t think there is an issue with making survivor perks that directly combat a specific killer perk. So long as when both are equipped, the killer still gets a bonus to his abilities, while cancelling out special abilities for the survivor

in Boil Over is useless Comment by xmenfanatic September 5, 2018

I do wish it had a slightly stronger effect. Maybe make aura range be 10/15/200 meters, and increase speed of struggle by 2/4/6%. with that change, the Iron Grasp perk will have its struggle effects halved at each tier but still provide a bonus to the killer.

in Boil Over is useless Comment by xmenfanatic September 4, 2018

I think he is saying that the speed she is supposed to be moving is glitchy and she move slower than she should. Also apparently the Husk form she leaves behind when he uses her power is apparently not spawning/staying when "phasing".

I can't make out what Mike means about the scratches and blood. It seems like he's saying that she shouldn't see scratches with her power, and they are confused why perks increasing the visualization of blood aren't working with her phase ability.

He doesn't understand why she has some of her perks....but he doesn't explain which ones. That's my quick assessment after two glasses of wine, haha

in The Spirit Comment by xmenfanatic September 3, 2018

Maybe another one could be being burned at the stake too. I think any of these can be formulaicly tweaked to be just like the hook, but a different animation for sacrifice that fits a horror flick

in New Sacrifice Mechanics and Themes Comment by xmenfanatic September 2, 2018

Of the non licensed? Dwight Fairfield.

Dwight leaderlike
Meg and Claudette, are more supportive
Jake, Nea, and Fin are more solitary and roguish.
Ace is bard-like and roguish so he seems supportive and solitary in pieces.
David is too rash and seems like he’s the bull of the group.
Kate seems final girl-like to me, but not a leader.

Laurie has leadership qualities, and could be a second in command.
Bill has the war tactics and experience, and would definitely take a naturally dominant role in the camp.
Detective Tapp would also has leadership qualities.
Quinten seems similiar to Kate in terms of teamwork and support. Not a leader either though.

in Who would you classify as the leader Comment by xmenfanatic September 1, 2018

Maybe there is a survivor out there who we haven't been introduced to that is one of the soldiers. They say time works strangely, and the dimension is weird. Maybe he's adventuring with other survivors at another campfire, you know?

in What licensed killer would u like to see in Dead By Daylight? Comment by xmenfanatic September 1, 2018

Source: https://deadbydaylight.gamepedia.com/The_Heartbeat

“Maybe it is the will to survive that makes me even more alert to sounds. Sight is limited in this darkened part of the world. In this case their Heartbeats. Not my own, but instead the Killers’ as they close in on me. I just hope that they do not pick up on mine as my heart races for every thump I can hear even clearer. "
~ Benedict Baker's Journal, Nov. 1896

"Again, my senses have proven to be the keys to my survival. If my heartbeat rings in my ears, the Killer is close. If I see the "red stain" in my surroundings, the Killer is even closer!"

I found these two quotes on the Dead By Daylight wiki, and they are contradictory statements about the Lore.

This is the description about the heartbeat:

"The Heartbeat, as the name states, is a heartbeat sound effect heard by Survivors within the so-called Terror Radius of a Killer. The Terror Radius is set at a default range of 32 metres, that can change from Killer to Killer.

The Heartbeat is intended to induce fear and anxiety into the Survivors, but also acts as a warning sound effect for an approaching Killer.

According to Benedict Baker's Journal, the Heartbeat heard by the Survivors is not their own, but the Killer's. However, this is contradicted by a Mysterious Note found in The Fog, which states that it is indeed the Survivors' own heartbeat that they hear."

It doesn't cite where the two quotes were found exactly. Be they both from the website, or the game itself.

in Lore question Comment by xmenfanatic August 30, 2018

Honestly, when I play as a survivor, I never use self care. I try and use the three main perks and then supplement the fourth with their personality. I mix and match a bit, but anyway, I only use self care on Claudette and find fun in playing characters without that ability. I would totally be okay with the nerf, or a tag making it attached to her, or faster on her, the current speed, and slower on everyone else.

People shouldn’t b reliant on that ability. It takes away a lot of exciting saves and wins.

in Self Care - Why Removing or Nerfing it would be good for the game Comment by xmenfanatic August 30, 2018

first of all, there is no need to be rude. Second, I may be mistaken but I thought it had a similar overtone. If you look at a band, the best example from me atm would be to say that the lead guitarist does the theme, and the rythm guitarist would be doing Kate’s part. I may be seeking it out on my own accord because I like the idea, especially since no one had called me out about the correlation previously.

I think it can be chalked up to the Survivors having heightened senses in the Realm.

The heartbeat for instance, is not the Survivor heartbeat but rather the Killer's heartbeat that the Survivors have fine turned their hearing for. Benedict Baker explains this in his journal.

By extension, you could assume the Survivors are capable of know their entire surroundings due to increased survival instincts.

But why does the killers heartbeat need to sound like he is about to get caught doing something he shouldn't? It sounds like the heartbeat is the survivors hearing their own heart instead of the killers.

Couldnt answer that for ya buddy. I would chalk that up to gameplay mechanic, but I suppose maybe the survivor is just "hearing more beats." I'm just telling you what the canon says haha

If you watch some of the earlier videos on the DbD YouTube channel, they e plicitly state that the heartbeat is the survivors. I’m guessing that since the survivors have all these aura reading abilities that the entity has granted them some level of psychic ability that they all share with each other and the killers at different levels.

The heartbeat rising could be them just KNOWING the killer is getting closer and that thought is causing their heart to beat really fast

The Terror Radius emanates from the Killers.

That’s exactly what I was thinking, and I wasn’t sure if it was done because mechanically it was easier, or if it was a misspeak in the lore, I’ll have to sift through the videos and QandA to be certain because I believe I saw it in one of those!

in Lore question Comment by xmenfanatic August 30, 2018

Before adding this survivor there were an equal amount of playable men and women. Do you want it to be unbalanced with more women? Don’t get me wrong, I was hoping for a female survivor too, but this survivor is a babe, and his abilities are neato! And he’s a teacher, how do you know he didn’t work at the university the killer went to?

I think the idea behind this Mori is awesome, but it would take too long probably with the prompts. Unless it has a fixed time, and if you don’t select a prompt it defaults to a specific decision.

Or each option could just have a specific button assigned to it when you are capable of using a Mori? I don’t think this will happen, but it would be neato.

It’s the only power that can actually kill survivors....

...If they're braindead. Her power is not designed to harm them in any way.

You’re literally incorrect. It is the only power designed to kill.

You're literally incorrect. The devs have said time and time again that the RBTs are not designed as a killing tool. Vietfox is correct in that they're designed to slow down the game.

.....it is the only power that was designed with the ability to kill. That is not an incorrect statement. It was designed with the ability to kill. The only one designed that way.

You didn't say "designed with the ability to kill", you just said "designed to kill". The two statements are not equivalent, and only one is correct. Own up to your mistake, it won't kill you.

If you know how to use it, it will kill your opponent. It is designed to kill if you know how. I don’t know how to communicate this to you without just rephrasing the same sentence. I was so I could help you understand.

Im sorry. I wish I could help you understand. I actually am starting to think our communication styles aren’t very compatible, so I’ll leave it at the statement that I don’t agree with you, and I don’t need to make you understand my view of the ability because in the end it doesn’t really matter as long as we are both enjoying the game. I’m sorry you’re displeased with her powers.

And I'm sorry you can't accept that the developers literally designed RBTs not to kill Survivors. I'm also sorry you're being passive-aggressive about this and that you can't admit you made a simple mistake.

I wasn’t being passive aggressive, I just didn’t proof read and realize how many times I apologized. Take them as sincere or don’t. And I don’t admit I made a mistake because I dont believe I did. I believe you view it as a mistake, but I also believe you just don’t understand

I take them as insincere because you're not apologizing for anything you did wrong (like not explaining yourself properly). You're "apologizing" for me not being able to understand you. This is the standard insincere non-apology.

I’m sorry that I don’t have the communication skills to effectly have a constructive conversation with you. And I’m also sorry if I came off combative initially. When I stop to summarize what it is that’s bothering me here, that’s what I’m sorry for.

I’d rather just be able to explain my perspective, and hear yours and have it be civil. But I feel even when communicating with you in a civil manner, i read you as combative. I’m not sure if this thread is the appropriate place to have this conversation, but I’d rather respond then ignore you. Maybe I just need to apply a softer tone to your posts.
