So I'm not going to name names, because it is against the rules. I just finished a match with Spooky Myers on Midwich against a group of Survivors that included a Rank-2 TTV Survivor. There was another Red Rank and some other solid Ranks too. The important thing here is the TTV was a Claudette and sacrificed herself near the start of the match on the hook. Right after another Claudette did t15 comments 451 views last activity

I'm just pleased as punch. I just got the best Xmas gift I could have ever gotten from a 3-Person SWF, and one poor Solo who got thrown in with them for the ride. As many of you know, I am trying to get good enough with Spooky Myers (Scratched Mirror+Boyfriend's Memo) that I can play it on big, outdoor maps too. This means you might encounter me doing that build without a map offering. I'm te8 comments 241 views last activity

So I just wasted a massive amount of BP to get a Gideon Map to do a little Spooky Myers (also known as Jump Scare). As most of you know, statistically you don't get Gideon, Hawkins, Lerys, or Midwich near as much as the larger, outside maps. I played Survivor all day, introduced some new people to the game, and felt I had earned a little R&R. So obscene amount of BP exhausted and map acqui50 comments 1,342 views last activity

So, I've talked my Gal into trying Killer again. The horrible matchmaking and the fact she keeps getting people Smurfing killed her desire to play it last month, making her Survivor only. I told her she will get better as a Survivor if she plays Killer too, and I promised I will sit by and take over if she pulls a Bully Squad or Smurfs. She is trying to learn Mikey because she sees how much fu1 comments 61 views last activity

I've always been of the opinion that the best way to discourage a behavior is to ENCOURAGE the opposite. I strongly suggest providing BP bonus and Emblem advancement of a significant amount. In short, make it worth the while for the Survivor (even dying on their very first hook) to stick it out through both stages and struggle to the end. Let them cut some good out of that bad situation.

So, many people take Lightborn, but not near as many use it correctly. My advice is you pretend you don't have it. Don't give away at the first pallet the Survivor tries to blind you at. Look away like you are trying to keep from being blinded. Then you can use it later, more effectively, when someone tries a shoulder rescue. In other words, I take it all the time and don't actually let them3 comments 71 views last activity

So, while I think I would have liked to see a more dynamic and balanced method of redoing the Mori, I am just going to accept them as is and move on. I think you should do the Keys in same easy way. You could do it in day simply by altering the formula you have for the hatch becoming visible. I think the Hatch should not become visible ONLY when all five Generators are up and running.

So, I want to address something that comes up very often, but is always framed wrong. I'm talking about Salty, bad sports. Far too often, this is cast as if it is an "us versus them" situation with SOME people making rather biased and incorrect arguments that Survivors are more toxic, sweaty, rude, obnoxious, etc. OTHER people make the same silly arguments about Killers.

I understand and accept that the Mori have been nerfed. It isn't how I would have done it, and I have strong reservations about this approach. Be that as it may, the Mori are now nearly worthless. This is problematic because the Ebony Memento Mori has been costing us as an Ultra-Rare Offering. My Brown Offerings are now more helpful.

Ok, I want to debunk a few things and make a few suggestions. Getting hooked isn't the end of the world; it does, in fact, provide a necessary respite for your fellow Survivors to do Generators. The time it takes you to get chased, downed, and hooked provides them time. Likewise, it also provides them with more time to work Generators while you are up there. Here are a few things for the Hoo6 comments 71 views last activity

So I wanted to give an example of why the DEV don't listen to us at the Forum, i.e. why I think Forums in general are nearly worthless when it comes to useful information. It stems from information overload, mostly. Consider the following: The Twins Since the Twins have been released officially there have been dozens of threads created about them.

Object of Obsession isn't a terrible Perk for the Solo, but it is easily abused by the SWF. I think I have a suggestion which would make it MORE useful to the Survivor using it and limit some of the more abusive aspects of it from a SWF perspective. See below: OoO Level-1: The Secondary Action Trigger will utilize the Stalk power just like a Spooky Myers (Scratched Mirror) with a range of 100 comments 1 views last activity

So as some of you know, I'm trying to learn new Killers. Taking Myers to the top has had an unintended consequence. I now only pull Red and/or Purple Rank Survivors for the most part. Trying to learn a new Killer with next to nothing in the tank but the basics is some mean ground to till. I'm sticking with it though, despite the frequent and thorough kicking of my butt.

So I've been recording lots of instances where I hit someone who is wounded and they don't go down. I'm not missing them. I'm seeing the blood and animation. I'm seeing them get the speed boost of being hit. They just don't go down. I recorded it four times today alone. Is there something going on I've missed?4 comments 111 views last activity

I want to start out by saying that this is not bait. This is an assessment. Both as Killer and Survivor, I've noticed an annoying tendency for people to kill themselves on their very first Hook. While I consider this a vast improvement over disconnecting, it is still the path of the coward. I wish there was a nicer way to say it. When I'm playing Killer it isn't too troubling.

Please consider turning back on whatever protection you had against Smurfing prior. To give you an example of how bad it is right now, I tracked the last eleven matches my girlfriend played. She is trying to get into the game but quickly losing interest. In those eleven matches she pulled only three that were Rank appropriate for her. The other eight were ALL Smurfing; see below: (2) of thes2 comments 21 views last activity

Please consider turning back on the protection to prevent Smurfing. The Killer should be selected to match the color Rank of the most potent in the group, not the weakest. It is NOT averaging the Ranks of all involved. I have watched one game after another pulling 2-3 Red Rank Survivors for a Green Rank Killer as long as the group made sure they had single Purple in their midst.10 comments 161 views last activity

I know this is kind of self-indulgent, tooting one's own horn, but I worked hard for this accomplishment. For some of you, who have been here for four years, this will seem a trivial thing. I set a goal for myself. I wanted to play only Myers as a Killer and go all the way to Rank-1. I had a few people tell me it was possible, which was all I needed to put my head down and push forward.

I just played a match at the Temple of Purgation where a weird, golden beam of light came down from the sky and stayed there the entire match. It was big enough that I could stand in it... and made interesting noises. Does anyone know what the heck that was?

This is merely a suggestion, not a complaint. I would really like to be able to gift some of my Gear, Add-on(s), or offerings to other Players. For that matter, I'd love an option to sell some of them back or to other Players at some sort of cut rate. The have something not unlike this in a lot of MMOs.

So I've been introducing a lot of new people to DbD. It is a fun game, and I'm hoping to get a lot of people I know into it. Of late, it has become apparently that a lot of Purple (and even Red Rank) Survivors have no self respect. Instead of fighting the game on their own level, they are going into a SWF with Ranks 16-18 so they can pull a weaker killer. One of my friends is a Rank-14 and pu20 comments 442 views last activity

So I've been an advocate for breaking Solo and Team Ques up for a long time. I think this would give the DEV the ability to balance the Team Que by requiring them an additional Generator to power the gates and/or unlock a 5th Perk for the Killers. Being able to balance the SWF's 5th Perk (Comms) without killing the Solo players at the same time would be great. Even more than that, think of the0 comments 11 views last activity

I'm a big fan of the movies: Trick 'R Treat, and Krampus (same Director). I would love (and I know others too) if you looked at this License. Krampus might be a great holiday release and he is full-sized and terrifying. It is just a thought. On a personal note, despite all the negativity, I think you guys do a pretty good job. I'm having fun, and that is what counts.1 comments 1 views last activity

I thought a lighter thread would be a good way to start my Saturday afternoon. I've had enough drama to last me a lifetime, at least the lifetime of a dozen or so Dwights.

So I thought I would comment on just how hard it is to advance once you hit Rank-4 playing Myers alone. I will battle my way to within one Pip of getting to three, only to lose pip after pip back to the edge of dropping to five again. I've been told it is impossible to get to Rank-1 playing only Myers, but surely someone has done it? If you are out there and have managed this feat, please let10 comments 101 views last activity

I can't remember if I already did a post on this or not, and I'm too lazy to go back through posts. :) I think the key rework you did, tying the visibility to the Hatch to a formula based on total Generators done and remaining Survivors was brilliant. Many people don't see to understand this was a rework/nerf of Keys. In that vein, I think you could take the same idea for the Mori (but tie it14 comments 452 views last activity

I want to thank the Survivors I played against this morning. I didn't have high hopes for these matches. At the reset, I went from Rank-4 to Rank-5 as Killer. My long term (well short term now) is to get to Rank-1 as Myers by Halloween 2020. I play no other Killer.

I've often lobbied (and will continue to do so) for splitting Solo and SWF into different Ques. I think the company would open up some good monetary streams from new Team cosmetics out of it to boot.

I wanted to address new Killers, and perhaps a few Killers that aren't so new too. There is something you might be overlooking; I know I did for at least a month or so when I started. It is going to sound counterproductive but you want Survivors to get pulled off hooks. There are a lot of good reasons why: If you 1-Hook each Survivor, i.e. they die on that first hook, you are not going to s3 comments 71 views last activity

I want to preface this suggestion with the fact that I don't particularly have a problem with how it works now. I'm not a DS hater, nor do I even run it that often as a Survivor.

I really wish that each Survivor had a unique ability. I would say choose one of their three base Perks, i.e. the most niche one, and eliminate it from the Perk list. We have too many already. That way they each have a little flavor. A Claudette, for example, would be the ONLY one with Botany Knowledge.

I want to start by saying I don't have a problem with camping. I think that if the need drives the Killer, they should camp, tunnel, slug, or Mori. These are all special purpose tools in the Killer's toolbox. They are valid tactics and there is no point in shaming or giving a Killer grief over choosing to try them. Used incorrectly, they will cost the Killer dearly. Used correctly, they can31 comments 2,731 views last activity
