I wanted to take a moment to post and point something out. Many of us would be here playing whether there was an Event going on or not. I come for love of the game, the challenge, and the interest it still holds for me. The fact that there is an Event going on is just "free stuff" stacked on top of it. It is free Blood Points, extra Blood Points in matches, and free Iridescent Shards. It is2 comments 61 views last activity

One oddly cool thing is that while they have disabled the Map Offering for Racoon City, it has been in the Blood Web all this time I have a TON of them now, because they seem to show up for me all the time. My Myers has an extended vacation planned in Racoon City as soon as it is back online. I could literally spend an entire cycle there at this point. :)2 comments 81 views last activity

In light of all the recent activities, I thought it would be a good time to talk about a stark reality of the online video game business. They function very much like independent Restaurants, often the ones that are considered 4+ Stars in the local area. This means they are niche, and cater to a specific audience that they hope will grow. The stark reality I was talking about is that that onli11 comments 171 views last activity

I think to encourage people to Prestige requires a bit more than slightly increased Rare pulls, or bloody cosmetics. I would suggest that Survivors and Killers who have the 3rd Level of Prestige ALSO share access to a mutual pool of collected Items and Add-On(s). Thus, all three of my 3rd Level Prestige Survivors put their Items and Add-on(s) in a mutual pool from which any of them can take. E4 comments 31 views last activity

Since I cannot speak for all Killers, only myself, I am going to let you know a pet peeve of mine. It is something that will get you tunneled by me every time. I don't like being body blocked by the person just rescued with Borrowed Time in effect. That is not what the Perk was designed to do. If you don't body block, I'm going to go after the unhooker.

For the love of God, please turn the Disconnect penalty back on. If not, I'm out of here until it is back. I haven't had a single match without disconnects now for a day or so. My gal actually had some TTV person disconnect on her and brag about how she is abusing it. *She recorded and will be reporting it.

So something is up. I play enough matches, a lot of matches to know what matchmaking gives me and what it doesn't. I'm suddenly pulling the exact kinds of opponents I did during the last MMR test. The system seems to think I'm a Potato Survivor, throwing me in with Rank-16s when I go from 4-6 myself. As a Killer, appropriately, I am pulling NOTHING but all Red Rank Survivor squads at times of11 comments 201 views last activity

Let me preface this by saying that when I'm saying "Killer Specific" I don't necessarily mean a single Killer. It could also mean groups of Killers. A situation that has arisen, due to the different TYPES of Killers, where certain Perks are too powerful and/or broken with say the "high mobility" variety, when they would be perfectly fine (probably good for the game) on the slower types.

I want to preface this post with the fact that I'm not moaning and groaning, nor screaming the Wraith is OP. I'm just having a hard time seeing Wraith as anything other a new and improved Spirit. He moves almost as fast as her, never loses sight of targets, comes out of cloak with a fast, impressive rundown. He literally has all her high mobility benefits and none of her drawbacks.

This has been bothering me for quite some time now. Survivors exhibit, I'm assuming by accident, extremely bad passing manners. If I am walking (or crouching) please don't run past me.

One of the things that improves a game is more Player Agency, i.e. more choices to make. I think that instead of starting the game with Totems placed around the map, the Killer should have to place them and spend activate them. Or, none of the Totems start lit, and the Killer goes up and lights one. *There would be exceptions like NOED of course that don't light until triggered.

I'm going to take time away from my daily chore of tilting with the windmills of fuzzy thought, glittering generalities, rhetorical fallacies, and plain bad arguments to address a larger problem. I want to shine a bit of light on THE problem, and I hope it sends the cockroaches scurrying away.

So I've been having a problem. I've been playing games looking for people abusing the Hook exploit with Breakdown. I bring the Tombstone Piece because I have a metric ton of them.

I am always impressed by the inventiveness of "some" SWF groups. I've now run across two different groups who have a trick for avoiding maps they don't like. If they load into a map they don't like, one of them disconnects in time to cancel the match. Naturally, that one will take the (5) minute ban. Next time they get a map they don't like, a different member does it and so on, round and ro28 comments 631 views last activity

I can't name and shame you here, but the Huntress w/Iri Heads and the Survivor working together on Gas Heaven. Both I, and a Survivor spectating the Survivor working with the Killer recorded you. You were both Console so we couldn't tell you in the end chat, but we are both reporting you and turning in the video. That was one of the most pathetic, blatant working together I've seen in awhile.10 comments 401 views last activity

I'm as excited as everyone else that Resident Evil is coming. However, I want to strongly suggest you break the mold on this one. One more Killer, that just has the cosmetic of a large RE monster, isn't going to cut it. It would be unworthy of DbD and RE.

Nobsyde, another poster and I disagreed about the Trickster. He said the Trickster was awful, weakest Killer yet. I said I didn't think he was that bad, and truthfully stated that I did ok with him in the PTB. I found him kind of boring, one note, but I didn't think he was the worst Killer in the game. We agreed that if I was proven wrong, that I would eat crow. That is what adults do. I l1 comments 51 views last activity

I just had a game at the Pale Rose (swamp map) against a Console Myers and Console Feng. The Feng was actively working with the Myers, blocking Survivors in corners to hold them for the Killer, pointing them out, and farming them. Every member of the team (except the Feng of course) got the Mori. She got away. I recorded everything and it is crystal clear what is happening. In the interest o13 comments 121 views last activity

So I just had a game where a Feng was actively working with the Killer (Myers), blocking Survivors in corners to hold them for the Killer, pointing them out, and farming them. I started recording and got it all. Since they don't have a Steam ID, what is the process? I did do the end game reporting, now what? Or because they aren't Steam do they just get away with it?1 comments 11 views last activity

Big Boss: So you have a new Killer for me? DEV: Yes sir... we call him the Trickster. Big Boss: I like it! So he he has some sort of gags and tricks? He disguises himself to look like a Survivor?

I was just in a game at Ormond as a Survivor (Claudette) and I was the last one left, crawling trying to find the hatch. I was up against a Ghostface. He found the hatch first so I crawled into a hiding place and decided to wait. Just as I bled out, the game disconnected me. It took me a few minutes to sign back in and I had a matchmaking ban for a few minutes left. I didn't disconnect nor d4 comments 71 views last activity

There is one Perk that can, in combination with a particular behavior, trigger me. I don't like people who take Sole Survivor and then use it to just try and Hatch out at the expense of the rest of the Survivors. I'm fine with it as long as you are making your rescue attempts and helping the others out. After all, Sole Survivor is one of the BEST Perks against my Spooky Myers.

This is a public service announcement for those of you who still don't seem to understand how Spooky Myers works (Scratched Mirror + Boyfriend's Memo). I can see through walls a LONG way. It amazes me that I still run into Red and Purple Rank Survivors who don't seem to understand this. Spooky Myers can see you, pretty much all the time. His trade off is he is slow and can never Tier up. Thi71 comments 5,591 views last activity

So I just had a hilarious (to me anyway) game on Hawkins. I was playing Spooky Myers, and two of the Survivors gave up real early, basically suicides on the hook leaving the other two with only one Generator done. I decided to let the last two run a bit; I needed a LOT of pallets for a Rift, so what the hell? I would injure one, damage a Generator and then break off and go find the other one,5 comments 111 views last activity

The damn experimental MMR is back on again. Every damn match is all the colors of the rainbow. I don't like feeling like a vile creep when I get to the end of the match and see Yellows and Browns with one Red and Purple Survivor. The least you can do is let us Killers know there are Potatoes in the match so we can take it down a notch. This just ain't right. Fix the damn thing or leave it of11 comments 291 views last activity

So I'm tutoring a friend in how to play Myers. He doesn't have a lot of Perks to work with yet, nor does he have the hours I do so he likes to run NOED. He bought it with his Blood Points. The game sold it to him. It isn't up to me to judge. I don't run it, but that isn't a fair comparison because I never really used it well. I'm not an End Game Player.

This would be a bit of a radical departure seeing how all of our Killers are currently bipedal (for the most part) slashers. Tremors has had its 30th Anniversary and I think it would make an excellent addition. I'd love to see a Graboid Killer and Burt Gummer as the Survivor.

This Perk is interesting but far too situational to ever really be taken consistently. I suggest the following changes: Poised: The Survivor starts the game with (3) Tokens. The Survivor can initiate this Perk by hitting the secondary action button while running. He/she will leave no red marks for a period of time based on the Level of the Perk.

I think the current form of Distortion is really unworkable. Many people (myself included) have tried to come up with changes, most of them convoluted and code heavy.

The Perk is currently not taken often because it is simply not efficient in the slightest. In theory, a Perk that lets the Killer lock down Pallets is pretty good, but in application the current form is simply too weak. My polite suggestion is that it be corrected in the following ways: It should either have a cool-down OR be a Hex Perk, not both. The Range should be 32 Meters, not 16.0 comments 11 views last activity

So, we are day two of the latest meltdown. I wanted to comment on things from a different angle. I have seen a lot of posts where people talk about how the DEV have lost their "good will" or their "trust" and so on. Really? I don't have "good will" towards any company.

Get a grip. Seriously, the game won't run me off, but the Forum is kind of embarrassing. Surely you can voice your concerns in a more constructive framework?

Ok, this is fair warning so that if you see this happen in a game, and then see my name on the end of it, you will know WHY. I don't like it when Survivors try to work with the Killer.

The title isn't as clear as I'd like it to be. There is a rash of people either suiciding on the hook, or simply attempting to get off the hook themselves rather than waiting for their teammates (usually the safer more sensible approach). Thus, we have a lot more people dying on their first hook, or on their 2nd at most. I would suggest that if the Survivors on the hook make attempts to get of5 comments 41 views last activity

I have a suggestion to make, and I know some people will be horrified. However, I think it would solve three issues all at once, hence the title of this thread.

Sadly, as things move forward, we are going to see a much more narrow field of Killers. Generator pressure is what matters in high level play (or any level really) and Killers with the mobility to patrol routes easily while still engaging in chases will always have an advantage over those that cannot. Sadly, the Ruin+Undying combo was actually useful for making low mobility Killers workable. T3 comments 61 views last activity

I know what I'm going to say will ring wrong in the ears of some. Many people don't see this game as competitive; that is fair enough. However, I've been around since video games started. Nothing drives play (and sales) like a place for a "High Score" or a "Leader Board". Some people (and I am one of them) compete with themselves always to attain lofty heights.

This is an homage, of course, to classic film Dr. Strangelove or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb. It is a great movie, one I highly suggest.
