Should killers have something like the hatch?

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions December 25, 2022

I don't play survivor very much, but the few times I do, the hatch is a huge relief--it lets me know that in the not-so-unlikely chance that my team is a total flop, I still have a fighting chance. I play killer much more often, though, and I don't think there's any sort of similar consolation prize for killers. Would it be necessary for killers to have one? What would a killer hatch look like?

Translating the Kanji on Sadako's weapon

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions December 5, 2022

Sadako's normal M1 attack shoots out a ring that translates to "curse" in Kanji. Her "Rotten Remains" outfit has a different weapon, though. In Hanja, it translates to "hatred," but I have no clue if it's the same in Kanji. Can anybody confirm what it says?

Potentially interesting usage for potential energy

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions December 5, 2022

With potential energy, you can store up 1% of generator progression for every 1.5% you spend charging. That means that 1.5 generator%=1 PE%, so you're practically repairing the generator at 1%/1.5 seconds, which translates to a rate of .667%/second. If you repair a generator normally, you repair it at 1%/second. However, with four people on a generator at once, each person repairs it at .55%/se

Any experience with running DBD on Intel Arc?

ShamelessPigMain in Off-topic December 4, 2022

I've been eyeing a new graphics card and I was really surprised to see how experience GeForce cards were. Radeon seems to be a little cheaper, but I also noticed that Intel just released their Arc discrete GPU lineup. I heard that they have some pretty bad issues with running DirectX 11 games though, ranging from bad performance to straight-up not working. The Arcs look to be a lot cheaper, tho

Who's the most fun: Artist, Sadako, or Blight?

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions November 23, 2022

Well I finally managed to pry my eyes off of Vittorio's shirtless skin for long enough to think about what killer I should get next. I narrowed it down to three choices: Artist, Sadako, and Blight. Artist seems the most fun on paper, Sadako seems to be the same but I've heard people say she's a little weak, and Blight looks similarly fun but seems to need a lot of skill. Any pointers?

The mechanical sounds in Ghostface's chase music are supposed to be printers

ShamelessPigMain in Off-topic June 25, 2022

Especially with older models, printers tend to be very noisy, just like ghostface's chase music. Listening to the noise a printer makes while pushing out another paper and listening to ghostface's chase theme, you'll hear that those mechanical sound effects sound oddly similar--they're both a monotonous drones with equally-spaced short breaks interrupting at constant intervals. This is actually

My hypothesis for why Spirit's chase music has bells

ShamelessPigMain in Off-topic June 25, 2022

Based on the whooshing air in her chase music and the phasing sound effects, the wind is a major part of the Spirit's lore, just like many ghosts and spirits in mythologies around the world. It's an invisible force that can still move things, just like the Spirit. She also has an add-on called furin, a type of Japanese wind chime. When there are many hung up in a windy area, they ring just like

The plants in the botany knowledge icon are trilliums

ShamelessPigMain in Off-topic June 23, 2022

Trillium grandiflorum grows abundantly in Montreal, where BHVR HQ is located. I just thought that it's a cute little detail about the inspiration behind the perk's graphical design. They don't have any particular uses in tinctures or herbal medicine though, so Claudette is a total fraud. That's all folks

What do Carmina’s crows represent in her lore

ShamelessPigMain in Lore January 12, 2022

So I found some free time recently to finally start reading over the Artist’s lore, and I’m pretty confused so far. I know each killer is supposed to have some kind of fundamental emotion that compels them to bring NOED every match (The Pig and her jealousy, the Plague and her devotion, the Trickster and his terrible fashion choices), but Carmina just seems like a nice painter with a dead family.

How do percentages for addons work in DBD

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions December 28, 2021

I finally got around to reading the addon descriptions with the new percentages, and it was a bit confusing for me. If you move at 6.9 m/s, and you get a 4.20% increase to movement speed and then another 2% increase to movement speed, would that translate to you getting a 6.20% increase to movement speed (6.9+.062*6.9)?

Hag tips

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions December 28, 2021

I'm trying to pick up Hag again (because I've burned through every other killer and my friends tell me she's fun), but all the usual killer tips don't work with her and I can't seem to wrap my head around her power. The traps end up hurting me more than helping me, and I can't figure out how to effectively chase with her. Survivors either just run away while I'm setting a trap or set it off at a

Why doesn't deliverance work if you're the last survivor?

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions December 27, 2021

It seems like a bit of an oversight that deliverance is completely ignored if you're the last survivor to be hooked (where you go straight to struggle regardless of your hook state). It doesn't seem like there's any actual purpose to this mechanic, to me at least.

Does snuffing out boon totems that were created from hex totems reactivate the hex?

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions October 31, 2021

I just booted up the game after a long break and these boons are kind of confusing. I know survivors can bless hex totems, and that I can reverse card those blessings, but does that restore the hex back to the totem?

Why isn't Lucky Break more popular yet?

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions July 5, 2021

So Lucky Break got buffed up to 60 seconds (which is still lower than its original PTB value but is still decent), and I'm still yet to see more than 2 Lucky Breaks in almost a month. There's still better perks and it's still pretty much a 1 or 2-time activation perk, but it's still pretty respectable, even if you have to pair it with Iron Will. And yet I barely ever see it. Every single time ano

No way out is my new senpai

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions July 2, 2021

So in the new developer update for this month, it was noted that no way out would be buffed to have a maximum of 60 seconds of blockage, and will only activate when a survivor goes to touch a gate, which can prolong its effect even longer. I don't know this might feel from a survivor perspective (I can guess it might feel boring since it essentially blocks off your only objective for a while),

Is 8 GB of RAM enough for this game?

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions July 1, 2021

I was thinking about getting a new PC and I was thinking about upgrading from my current 8 GB of ram to something higher, considering that performance is really not that great. I really don't know what's bottlenecking it for sure (since the other components are pretty decent), but I suspect it might be the RAM. Any tips?

So why does getting facecamped and killed on first hook cause you to depip?

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions June 20, 2021

So to my understanding, the pipping system is meant to somewhat reflect a player's skill, but being facecamped and sacrificed on first hook makes it such that you get downed one time and then depip, after being denied the ability to demonstrate said requisite skill. Is that particularly fair? (And this is with regard to game health not mechanics, I know how pipping works.)

Is it just me or are survivors not saving each other now

ShamelessPigMain in Feedback and Suggestions June 20, 2021

I just had like 20 games where at least 2 survivors died on their first hook (not suicides, 2 whole minutes of dying on first hook). A lot of time, their teammates aren't even on generators. Is anybody else seeing this too?

Pig is underrated

ShamelessPigMain in Feedback and Suggestions June 13, 2021

Disclaimer: "Pig is underrated" is not "Pig is too OP nerf now toxic no-skill killer" Pig's hats really are fantastic game delay, if you think about it. Having a hatted survivor essentially takes them out of commission, and since survivors are so reliant on synergy, it's like having one survivor who's essentially dead for the entirety of them trying to get their hat off. If they don't immediatel

Small Idea for Myers

ShamelessPigMain in Feedback and Suggestions June 10, 2021

I get a lot that Myers is woefully underpowered in comparison to other killers (with the exception of tombstones, of course). Most complaints I hear are about the issue of map pressure, and to solve this, they usually turn to teleportation. But we already have 2 teleportation killers and we've seen the reception to those. Most Demo players are too occupied to set up portals and half the reason p

Is bite the bullet affected by stridor?

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions June 8, 2021

I know iron will is affected by stridor, since it gives you an actual modifier of explicit numbers, but bite the bullet just says that you don't make noise while healing, no mention of "grunts of pain are reduced by x%." Does this mean it overrides stridor no matter what?

PSA: DS got a slight shadowbuff

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions June 8, 2021

I might be late, who knows, but it looks like DS got shadowbuffed a while back. Whereas before, DS would permanently deactivate upon missing the skillcheck (meaning that you try to hit the skillcheck), now, missing the skillcheck will not disable it permanently and it will be saved for next time. It’ll still be deactivated if you miss the skillcheck once, but it will activate again until you su

Wraith is apparently the new Freddy

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions June 4, 2021

To clarify, I mean that people are treating Wraith like how they did to Freddy. I'm not saying he's that strong. And why they're saying that makes a little more sense than it may seem. People complained about Freddy because his blood puddles seemed like brute-force anti-looping power. Slowing survivors down for looping around a puddle was a bit lacking in nuance. I'm not saying it was that eff

Understanding why people sweat in games

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions June 2, 2021

I recently made a post where I talked about how maybe playing in a so-called "toxic" way might not be so bad after all. The majority of responses were just calling out sweatlords and tryhards. And that wasn't very productive (or well-worded) so I'm trying again. Everybody knows that this game has the occasional toxic and sweaty matches. And people complain about them playing in such a way, but f

Another DS Idea

ShamelessPigMain in Feedback and Suggestions June 2, 2021

So as we all know, the devs want to make DS an anti-getting-tunneled-off-of-hook perk exclusively, and they did this by narrowing its activation to solely the moments after being hooked. If you progress the game in any way, DS deactivates. So if you get tunneled, but not right off of hook, you're screwed because you either have to do nothing for 60 seconds in anticipation of being tunneled (strat

An idea for breakout

ShamelessPigMain in Feedback and Suggestions May 29, 2021

As of now, breakout doesn't stack (because a 60% increase to wiggle speed would set the wiggle time at 10 second, even worse if it grows compounded). For SWF, this is fine, since you can coordinate with the survivor who has breakout and organize a plan, but in solo queue, you don't have that luxury, and if you brought breakout, you risk another survivor having breakout and your perk just being pl

So what happened to lucky break?

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions May 29, 2021

I distinctly remember that a lot of people here were panicking over lucky break becoming a new meta-defining OP 4-man SWF perk. Even after the timer was cut in half from the PTB to live, the same fears abounded. Yet, I hardly ever see lucky breaks now. Everything looks exactly the same, save DS. If anything, lucky break was more popular before the changes, for what I can see.

Maybe perpetuating unfun behavior isn't a completely bad thing

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions May 28, 2021

So I recently had a game that didn't go so well because I was trying to have a sweatless game with Trickster running haunted ground/undying. But because RNGesus hates my guts I got 4 Neas with flashlights who T-bagged throughout the entire game. To most people, the usual refrain is to be the "better man" and just play normal, regardless of how much you want to bring in the stridor/NOED Spirit.

Maybe consider buffing soul guard

ShamelessPigMain in General Discussions May 26, 2021

It just hit me what the cursed condition of soul guard was meant to do: nobody likes losing their hexes, and therefore losing a perk slot for the rest of the game, so they added soul guard to give survivors a reason not to cleanse hexes, and let killers keep their hexes until it became absolutely necessary to get rid of the hex. The infinite self-recoveries is meant to be a benefit the survivor g
