I know it’s a personal choice but I’d like to hear pros and cons from anyone else. I have Meg and Steve with all perks, and my others are either at 40 for teachable if they’re good or lower if their teachable stink or managed to get them off of the shrine. Meg and Steve also have a ton of keys, medkits toolboxes and addons so I am just stockpiling if I level then and I don’t wanna prestige. Sh3 comments 21 views last activity

My answer, since all my killers have all perks and I only “main,” two survivors right now who also have all perks I am spending mine on bloodwebs for Meg and Steve to get them extra medkits mostly. Every once in a while I spend points to grab a few extra addons/moris for Wraith, GF, Billy, plague or Doctor. I have no interest in prestige since I already have a cosmetic or two I like for everyon15 comments 151 views last activity

So tonight I managed to get all perks at rank 3 on all my killers and cap at 1 millions BPs. I have all perks on Meg and Steve so I don’t “need,” blood points anymore. Yes I still want them, stockpile addons for killers and survivors of course, but I don’t NEED double blood points. This is the first time in a long time I feel able to actually run without BBQ and I’m looking forward to it. I ne40 comments 731 views last activity

I get it, noone wants to see a rank 15 killer go against all red rank survivors,it isn't really fun for either side unless you enjoy bullying. But have a lot of games lately against "perked out," killers of like rank 17-20 and I have ZERO SYMPATHY for them. Like just played against a rank 17 Myers who had level 3 BBQ and Nurses calling on top of his other two perks which were maxed but they wer1 comments 21 views last activity

I don’t necessarily expect a dev or kid answer, but what do you guys think their main priority is right now? And let’s try to keep it civil between each other. Bugs? Specifically sounds or crashes? Some other bug? Balance of killers amongst each other? Balance of killer vs survivor? Balance of maps? The next chapter or next few chapter? Acquiring another big name licensing?

So the test didn’t go well because the game was dropping people, I understand no one wants punished because DBD crashes. But I feel like DC are worse than ever, played 6 games as survivor yesterday and only one game no one DC. One game was a late DC I’m pretty sure it was death hook anyways so she didn’t hurt the team but did screw the killer. The other four games had an early DC on first do3 comments 61 views last activity

One of the challenges is to escape using No Mither, so in a day or so once people reach that point I'll have multiple teammates running it every game. Well, should be a fun few days as killer!31 comments 791 views last activity

I mean I think this patch note really emphasizes where their concerns lie. As killer I still encounter survivors who make no noise when downed, this isn't the result of any perks,. As survivor if I turn the camera the sound from my generator gets louder then quieter. But hey, as long as the shoelaces on that Meg skin are tight and Myers' pipe has the correct ratio of blood to rust then all is15 comments 251 views last activity

Does anyone else do this, the only “big name,” I’ve played against is Drey as his Doctor obviously and against tyde when I was spirit. But anytime I go against a TTV I check after game I’d they’re on and give them a follow, then I’ll watch the game later or the next day to see it from their side. Sometimes I learn what I did wrong or how different sides plan things. Last night was the best, as4 comments 61 views last activity

First disclosure, I do think gen time could stand to be increased a bit and the game is survivor sided at high ranks, but... Everyone in an uproar about that Otz youtube where he was constantly chasing and downing people and they still managed to finish four gens, how many of your teams are really like that? As survivor I can lead the killer on a two minute chase and literally not see one gen p56 comments 871 views last activity

Now even on normal days teammate will find a dozen things to do other then gens, but Rift release makes it even worse. I need to sabotage 10 hooks, and I have to do them all this game even though that isn’t the challenge. I need to loot a chest, sorry you’re going into stage two on your first hook, but this CHEST!!! And so on, ugh sooo survivor some days. On the bright side it makes killer ga5 comments 151 views last activity

Been screwing around a bit today with just running BW and NOED, then doing nothing to the survivors to lull them in closer right at the end. I have a bunch of 2K, someone 1K and even an EGC 4K because of BW. Obviously endgame chat is being unkind to me today.0 comments 21 views last activity

I get it, DBD is written with the worst spaghetti coding possible, which may mean to everyone really fix the game they need to totally rewrite a new one. But every fix they do is it’s a temporary solution, and every patch brings a bug unrelated to anything that was actually changed in that patch. I know it’s a game, but if this was the way a haptics handled things would you go there? Finger da0 comments 11 views last activity

Not trying to discredit SWF, but once you have 3-4 people together you know what each other will do generally. Even without mics you know their tendencies. This is to see what other people think is the “correct play,” as survivor. Play along if you want just curious. I don’t think there is any wrong answer but it would be good to see what’s commonly accepted. When someone gets hooked do you0 comments 21 views last activity

I ask players from both sides, and I also realize some people feel like winning is fun so that’s fair too. Personally for either sides I want to have a fun, interesting game more than I care about winning. As survivor if I have a fun chase and manage to help my teammates escape I don’t care if I escape myself. As a killer if I manage multiple hooks and have a few decent chases and mind games I24 comments 271 views last activity

Okay, so I THINK I know how it works but I wanted to make sure. If I shock someone and they touch (4 meters) someone else the first person they touch gets shocked right? Is it the same value as the original shock like 50 madness if it was a Blast or 30 if it was Therapy? Is that adjusted by addons that increase the value? What if I shock someone 5 times with King and Queen so they have all th4 comments 271 views last activity

With the recent and upcoming changes BHVR is actually well on their way to ruining and possible ending their second game in less than a year if they aren't careful? I don't wish anyone to fail or want to see anyone out of a job. But there is a point where you have to admit maybe you don't know how to best make your own game(s) successful.18 comments 271 views last activity

I mean I know there are plenty of white knights for BHVR on the forums, but even their own freaking Fog Whisperers are saying how stupid this system is? Is someone actually believing this hidden skill system is a good system? They won’t even tell you what you are “supposed to do,” to get a good skill rating?49 comments 751 views last activity

Quick disclosure if you want to hear a well thought out version of what I’m about to sum up check @ScottJund youtube or watch Tofu’s stream from last night. Basically Devs are instituting an automated system to rank our skill... a hidden system... with no explanation of what is considered skillful play. Does doing gens while your teammates loop the killer count as skill? Does timing safe unh29 comments 741 views last activity

First, their actual idea won’t work just watch ScottJund or listen to Tofu if you need an explanation of why “skill level,” can’t be figured out by an automated system. I don’t think they care though, this unknown skill algorithm along with hiding ranks will basically just allow them to throw all players of all ranks into games together and none of us will be able to prove that it was poor match0 comments 21 views last activity

I can’t believe we don’t have this yet, some sort of solo queue to practice both survivor and killer. As survivor you could learn some maps, practice tight loops and try some weird combos to see if things stack, etc. As killer the most obvious examples would be Huntees aiming, Nurse blink learning the ranges, and curving with Billy or Oni... but I’m sure just getting a few for other killers and1 comments 81 views last activity

Hear me out, it would have to be in a pretty significant cool down maybe 2 minutes? Mind of the reverse of “by any means,” a killer could get rid of maybe 2 really good pallets early enough to matter11 comments 251 views last activity

Disagree if you want, but if “new survivors,” who were trying so hard to protect were being matched up against red rank killers who could slug them all within two minutes playing Billy for example, the bug would have been fixed by now. Since it’s just Rank 15 killers getting bullied by red rank survivors though it’s still a few weeks away...0 comments 21 views last activity

Why do people still have gen-phobia? Can't even tell you how many times today I've had a decent chase and the whole time thinking, "wow this will buy my team 2-3 gens!" And then I go down and see 2 were hiding in lockers DURING the chase and one was crouched somewhere nowhere nearby for a save. I am by no means a great player, but I pride myself on always doing something.11 comments 111 views last activity

I am enjoying life without Ruin, although it seems some people still have gen-phobia But part of me misses the thrill I got when I started a gen and heard that first ding, that 5% of the time I didn't see a red skill check was kind of a treat!5 comments 31 views last activity

My on my, this monkey see monkey do culture has all kinds of people doing the cool, new hook tech crouch. Great idea, give the killer a chance to tie up two players by literally standing in place. Even better is when people do it against the Doctor, yep they just sat there and ate shock after shock.

According to the Q and A they are rolling out a fix to matchmaking within weeks... note they didn't say how many so it could be 2, 3, 4 or more. So Rank 17 killers have been getting matched up against Red Rank survivors for almost 2 months now and they have no clear end in site? Sorry to be rude and blunt but seriously.

So the Doctor has addons that make certain things happen at madness 2-3 such as the King which does it each time they are shocked. My question is if you get all 5 effects on someone and then they go back to madness 1, when they go back up to tier 2 do all five effects come back or only one at a time again?0 comments 11 views last activity

So I think we guessed that when Ruin got nerfed people would switch to NOED to make up for gen speed but I didn’t expect this much. Curious to see stats but I’m guessing it’ll be close to the 80% range... toss in the fact that it is probably unfun for new players to get downed in one hit and it meets the same criteria for Ruin getting nerfed. FYI I don’t play it as killer, I hate seeing it proc0 comments 31 views last activity

Just had a lobby where two players said they were on chest challenge so one left, when I asked why since it doesn't have to be in one challenge the other said "it's quicker if I focus on it." Cool, so instead of playing normally and just grabbing chests as you see them you are going to be useless doing gens or unhooking people while you run from one end of the map to the other... then complain t5 comments 51 views last activity

So as far as I know you go to tier 1 madness at 5, tier 2 madness at 55 and tier 3 at 105 madness... Shock Blast adds 50 so it will automatically tier you up... but how much does Shock Therapy add is it like 25 so it takes two? Also any idea how much any of the addons change this amount?3 comments 51 views last activity

As a solo red rank survivor I haven’t honestly felt like undeserved to win in a week or so. Every game is basically all red rank survivors against a killer between 12-15. These poor guys are getting 2-3 hooks max, no kills except the occasional NOED that pops up. I don’t feel like I did anything special to win, held M1 and maybe did a chase against someone who really doesn’t understand roles v0 comments 31 views last activity

So I know the Ruin nerf has caused a bigger rift, and a lot of forum fighting. But endgame chat has been surprisingly civil, not to jynx myself but 9/10 games even if I lose on either side everyone gives a hearty GG to each other and moves on.

Multiple games tongiht as solo survivor, my whole team is 1-4 but our killer is a 10-12 so far three times. Watched my girlfriend play as killer last right at rank 14 two games and the survivors were 4-4-4-16 and then 1-4-4-5 I mean is this some crazy common core stuff? After two games against people she literally couldn't catch she was done. This is sure to keep new players interested.2 comments 41 views last activity

We all know the 4 man SWF death squads, which contests to popular belief are quite rare in my experience even at red ranks. But the bad 4 man toxic SWF that are trying to emulate their favorite toxic streamers, some of those teams have been my most fun games.

Simple question, Ruin was taken away because it’s “unfun,” for new survivors and 80% of killers use it. Now if as a result the devs decided gen time needs increased to say 2 minutes, will you still be ok with it? We’ll be holding M1 longer but no more unfun skill checks right?7 comments 81 views last activity

Look, I get it you don't wanna leave anyone behind and I appreciate it I really do. But if you don't have a plan, and especially if you don't have Borrowed Time just let me be face camped for two minutes. I promise I won't attempt escape and I will struggle the whole second phase to give you time just do the gens and leave.

Never mind the fact I think DC should be punished, I know that’s a possible future thing. People who DC when the killer downs them first, or otherwise really early in a game like feeling “tunneled,” with 4-5 gens left, why do you stay for endgame chat? I get it, you wanna make your voice heard but the killer either doesn’t agree with your definition of tunneling/camping or just doesn’t care. I0 comments 51 views last activity

I've been thinking ever since it was announced, initially I thought it was too much of a nerf... I still think it is honestly. But as someone who plays 50/50 I honestly think my joy of not having to worry about my teammates being unable to work through Ruin overshadows my displeasure as a killer.

Seriously, I know it's the cool thing to say but people literally copy paste that nonsense. End game chat against a trapper he said "gen rushing is sooo fun," and yes he had been using Ruin. I asked politely, "instead of doing gens what should we have done?" and there was never a reply. Keep in mind we basically unhooked each other instantly, healed each other and then worked on gens.

I really enjoy playing survivor, it's a nice change of pace from being killer all the time and some chases can be absolutely exciting. Plus hiding once in a while is fun.

I play solo, and I always kind of knew people weren't playing very efficient or optimal but running Bond and Kindred really opens your eyes.

Seriously, every time someone mentions corrupt to replace ruin someone (maybe the same person) chimes in with “corrupt is useless survivors can just wait out two minutes then your perk did nothing. Unless you are trapper or Hag it’s trash.” I would argue even if the whole team did that you just pretend the whole team spent two minutes looking for ruin and then found it.
