• Stop with the, Spirit only needs ears and a headset argument

  johnmwarner in General Discussions August 26, 2020

  Seriously, this is the most overused and inaccurate line when talking about Spirit. She is incredibly strong, but she does take some skill and knowledge too. How do I know, because I have avoided and escaped plenty of spirits... now if your argument is “those spirits are bad,” then you’ve only supported the fact that she takes more than a headset. So simple question, if Spirit only requires e

• The Blight, we really aren’t getting the update to test on PTB?

  johnmwarner in General Discussions August 25, 2020

  Okay, so when I asked last week all the defenders told me to wait a week. Well we have two hours to see if they update PTB but it doesn’t seem so. So they released an old version of Blight, have an updated version, but we won’t see that until live so who’s testing for bugs and problems? If you say the devs first of all LMFAO, and second if they can test things whats the point of PTB anyways?

• Fun but viable-ish killer builds?

  johnmwarner in General Discussions August 24, 2020

  I’ll toss a couple out as ideas, but basically looking for builds on any or all killers that can be fun, but not get super stomped by a competent team. A hardcore SWF will probably trouble you but those are rare honestly. Any killer with BBQ, spies from the shadows, in all ears and Whispers. Whispers will get you in the right area and from there the other perks will let you find and chase. No

• Monitor and Abuse, and head starts by the numbers

  johnmwarner in General Discussions August 24, 2020

  Ive always wondered just how “good,” Monitor was so I finally sat and got the correct (I think) numbers for how much of a head start survivors can get with and without it. This would assume they run as soon as they hear the heartbeat and correctly get which direction you’re coming from. Killers who are 4.6 / 115% speed with a 32 m terror give the survivor a 6.95 second head start... with MA a 2

  johnmwarner in General Discussions August 23, 2020

  So I won’t argue if it’s good, it’s a GREAT perk for sure as 25% regression instantly can be huge. I mean arguable it’s one of the top 5 Perks for most killers. But it’s just not my preferred slowdown, I try to bring it back into my build once in a while but here’s the problems I run into: A. Seeing someone else right after the hook so I either let them run free or lose my chance to pop. B. T

The clown slowdown with addon lasts 3 seconds and survivor speed boost from getting hit is 2 right? So if I hit a survivor on their back and immediately swing, after the boost is there like half a second of slowdown left or does the hit remove it? TLDR if I’m on the survivors back and can

• Tinkerer, it’s fun, but how good is it now?

  johnmwarner in General Discussions August 22, 2020

  I’ve been mixing up my builds lately and one of my new favorite perks is tinkerer. Does anyone else use it, which killer does it help you most on, any tricks to use it better? I think the killer who may benefit most is Bubba as if you’re near the gen that goes to 70% you can make it over using LoS blockers and land an easy chainsaw. Billy could in theory do this with his one silent addon too

  So gonna start a run of all the basic killers and have two similar build options: BBQ, Corrupt Intervention, Sloppy Butcher and Nurse Calling or BBQ, Corrupt Intervention, Sloppy Butcher and Surge. Obviously the only difference is a little help locating people versus a little more slowdown... whichever gets more positive feedback in the next 3 hours is my marathon build LOL

  The amount of people who just stand around doing nothing for large stretches of the trial amazes me sometimes. Now I don’t care if I “win,” or escape as survivor I just hope for a good game. And I’m not blaming cross play solely because some has been PC teammates too but it’s increased recently.

  So apparently the changes are significant enough that even McLean didn’t want to play the PTB version of Blight... yet we’re still testing him? It would be like going to test drive a Honda Civic and the dealer telling you “by the way when you come back tmw to pick it up we’re gonna give you a Nissan.”

  johnmwarner in General Discussions August 20, 2020

  No right or wrong answer here, the code isn’t official because it’s different for everyone. But as survivor/killer split player I know what’s unfun and feels really unfair to each side so I try to avoid those. As survivor I don’t teabag or clicky clicky, I feel I can get the killers attention when I want chased better by pretending to be seen when I don’t want. I play DS a lot, especially now

  johnmwarner in General Discussions August 17, 2020

  I’m not saying it’s just console, but I’ve noticed it a lot lately from playing both sides people are really willing to crouch next to a coveted gen for two minutes. I guess if all four do it then the perk is wasted... except on trapper, Hag, demo, Freddy and plague who can make use of the time. And that’s IF all four so survivors do it which unless you’re SWF isn’t guaranteed. If 3 wait and e
