  • Survivors saying this was a killer-sided update are wrong. Gens are still quick against well-oiled SWFs. Not sure how to go against body blocking teams and hook sabotages. That has been a lot of my games lately. Oh well.

    Stop reading the endgame chat.

    This is correct. Play the game the way you want to and don't read end game chat. Follow the general in life... you cannot please everyone.

  • I'm enjoying The Dredge, but learning a new killer can be quite challenging. When you play against sweaty survivors every 2 - 3 matches. I get it Mr./Mrs. Survivor... you are far superior than me and you escaped while I play as The Dredge. I'm sure I'll get better with time, but frustrating to say the least. I do feel like his teleport power could be better. BHVR, stop being scared to make killers an actual challenge for these SWAT like SWF's that tea bag at the exit gate ALL the time.

  • Yes, when a killer outsmarts a survivor... it's cheating.

  • Killers can't be too powerful or survivors will leave the game. #truth

    I'm proud of you! Keep up the good work! You keep slugging and tunneling and camping at 5 gens until those buckets are full of salty survivor tears. 👍 I believe in each and every one of you!

    I played several games last night as killer and they were rough. I normally win some and lose some as I get winning all the time would get stale. However, when an event like this is happening I swear it brings out the SWAT like SWFs. I lost every game until I was forced to tunnel to get a player out quick. I didn't like doing that, but losing every game wasn't fun either. I understand the frustration though.

    CoH is still overpowered if used by smart teams/SWFs and Dead Hard pretty much makes the game unplayable for any m1 killer. Gentimes in general are far too short, all it takes is 2 people being genjockeys to finish all five of them in just 5 minutes while two other survivors waste the killer's time with broken map design, bodyblocking and nonstop DH abuse. The killer experience is downright miserable.

    I agree with this... survivor mains will never admit any of this.

  • I try to play killer at night, but games are rough. I don't mind losing, but losing every game isn't fun either. I tend to play killer more in the mornings on the weekends as I feel it's more balanced... I win some... I lose some. Queues for survivors are long due to more people playing survivor. I mean once I lose too many at night, I switch to survivor as well.

  • There were a lot of people that hated the matchmaking system since it was based on rank. BHVR changed it. There are a lot of people that hate the new SBMM. Those that hate it, I understand being frustrated. However, it is a game. Thus far, I've seen everyone throwing a tantrum, but not offering any feedback or suggestions. I play to play... if I lose, so what. If I win, so what. By the way, I main killer and haven't any real big issues with SBMM and like it. It's nice not working about rank and just playing the game. Do you think it would be different if they didn't tell people SBMM was on? I'm wondering if they turned it on and not said anything, would people still have complained?

  • I just had this issue as well... could not break the pallet from outside of the shack. Had to watch survivors teabag, but was able to break the pallet from inside the shack.

  • To be honest... I dislike playing against PC players as killer when I'm on console. It sucks that I have to have it enabled to be able to play at all right now. Can't wait for more people to get PS5 to disable it again.

  • I also second that we should be able to have cross-play disabled and still play with PS4 players. When I have cross-play enabled, I'm able invite my friends that are on PS4... however, they don't have the icon next to their name which indicates they are on another platform like if it were a PC or Xbox player. I've seen others request this as well... Xbox Series X cannot play with their Xbox One X counterparts unless cross-play is enabled.

  • @Nicholas said:

    I have everything on PS4 and followed the upgrade steps to acquire the digital PS5 copy of the game. however none of my DLCs have carried over. They don't have a lock on them, they are just grayed out and I can't select any of them. I've already tried restoring licenses but there's nothing else to do. Is this a known issue or am I missing a step?

    What steps did you follow? I connected PS5 and downloaded the PS5 version of the game. All of my items were there and unlocked.

  • @wussyboi2000 said:

    I’m actually appalled that they’d release the game with 10FPS for console which is like half the player base. Do they not play ONE game on PS4 before releasing the update? ONE test game would be enough to tell them: "wow, this is not right. we can't release this like this"

    This... exactly. I was thinking the same. Let me test it early for you on console (PS4). I don't understand how they think this is playable on console. I love that they keep pushing out updates, but this is unacceptable and I'm always on the opposite site... giving them the benefit of the doubt as I know this type of game is hard to balance, but this has nothing to do with balancing.

  • @Stinde said:

    This was my experience today with the fps after the new update:

    Ps4 pro. Tried another match too and it was almost as bad.

    Same exact issue here... ps4 pro as well.

    Who plays and why

    I played with it 1 year ago, before I was fooled by a united team, since then I always considered it as a garbage killer... Only, today, I want to give him a chance...

    A trick from the players who play this killer ? Your experiences ?

    Thank you🤗

    I main Wraith and love to use him. I run sloppy, thanatophobia, thrilling tremors, and bbq/chili. I'll switch out thrilling tremors with other perks at times, but that's what I run most of the time.

    Right now 4, but I havent been trying to pip. Running a lot of slug builds. R1 when i want to be.

    Im not claiming to be a God at the game. Id say slightly above average. What I think is happening is confirmatiin bias. I dont think tge pc survivors are actually better at the game, I think that you all think they are and so everytime you lise to one your brain is focused on that. Ive seen some really good players on cross platform, but ive also seen really great players on xbox. Ive seen nothing to indicate that one platform is better than the other as far as the player base is concerned.

    That's a good possibility. I play on PS4 and I'm a rank 1 (Wraith)... I don't mind losing and like a good challenge. However, since crossplay I'm definitely losing more often, which is fine... just frustrating as I seem to be getting a run in toxic survivors. They happened before, but not this often.

    Haven’t seen you in a while.

    Also OP I have it turned off as Killer, simply to support the console players who have it turned off as well, plus my queue times as Killer are instant no matter what. If I leave it on as Killer, I seem to get mostly PC survivors.

    I wish there was an option to leave it on, but exclude PC. I enjoy playing on console, but I know the experience on PC is a lot better for most games.

    Im on xbox and have killed several .ttv pc players today. I lost a few, but won plenty.

    What rank are you?

  • @cenoflame said:

    I'm keeping it on for ps4. It's still better than waiting 15 mins for a match.

    I honestly can say that I never had to wait 15 minutes for a match. It is a little longer when me and a few buddies play SWF, but not too bad.

  • @LuckySteveMain said:

    I leave my crossplay on for faster matches. I dont really care about winning i just wanna play.

    I agree as I just want to play as well, but I like to have fun too. My queues were already fast before crossplay, so I don't mind playing with my fellow PS4 cohorts.

  • @Clinton said:

    I turned it off.. It's pointless until the devs optimize console, which is probably never gonna happen at this point

    I had to turn it off as well. If I could exclude PC players, I would leave it on. My queue as killer loads in minutes anyways. I appreciate others opinions/feedback.

    This spot should definitely be fixed, but it's not holding the game hostage - you even show as much by showing that they all bled out. They were just be exploit-using losers and denying you points.

    ---

    As an aside: I don't understand how they could pull this off more than once, let alone four times.

    Did they just run up there while fully healed and get downed AT the spot so they could crawl up while you were wiping your weapon?

    Because otherwise you could just down them before they reached it/pick them up before they get there.

    I edited my original post and I stand corrected... I chose a poor choice of words by using "hostage". When the two were there... I didn't care at that point and just let the other two join them as I lost interest in that match.

  • @Atrushan88 said:

    What he's saying is that this "isn't holding the game hostage" because they bled out and the game could technically end. A lot of people claim anything that people do to force the game to SLOWLY end is not holding the game hostage because of things like "It's just two minutes", and other such "arguments".

    Okay, okay... I get it and that makes sense. It just made for a boring game, that's all. I reported it as a bug. Sorry that I used a poor choice of words.

  • @Nurgling7 said:

    https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1290781#Comment_1290781

    Sure, but it isnt holding the game hostage. They bled out and the game ended. No hostage taking.

    Okay, call it what you want. I could not play the game due to the survivor using an exploit.

  • @LALYTHIA said:

    Someone else posted a video of them playing a Freddy match and this had happened. You could fill out a bug report in the forums (https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/categories/bugs). Or submit a ticket in game, per the usual.

    Thanks and that's what I ended up doing.

  • @Nurgling7 said:

    "This held the game hostage"

    Looks like the bleed out bar was working just fine to me.

    When it negatively goes against me, yes.

  • I can agree with the OP to an extent. I've been playing killer for quite some time now and I like to give hatch/exit most of the time. However, there are those games where I just can't get a person. Which is also fine as it makes me a better killer as I bounce between rank 1 and 2, which isn't a big deal. Those matches where I struggle... it's usually against a team that teabags, clicks their flashlights, etc... If I do manage to hook one towards the end, I get bodied by the other three and they do anything and everything in their power to escape. They have that right as it's their objective... to escape. However, as soon as I go after a person that is unhooked, even if it's the smart play at times, I get messages to #########, uninstall, bb killer, etc... I like to play fair, so most of the survivors are wasting a perk slot by using DS against me. I was surprised tonight though... I guess I didn't realize that DS still activates after a self unhook. I would have got that person if it wasn't for the DS. With DS, borrowed time, adrenaline, and unbreakable... why do survivors complain against NOED? Which is a perk I don't use. I have yet to experience a moment where a survivor show empathy. So, should I just stop giving hatch/exit? I mean I feel like others appreciate it if they are playing with a struggling team... I don't know... any advice?

  • I wouldn't mind 2 man SWF groups, but 4 with communications is hard to play against. Most of the time I give the 4th person hatch/exit, but I'm doing that less and less as I'm playing against more teams and/or players that are toxic... clicking their flashlight and/or tea bagging at each window/pallet. I avoid DS plays as I always go for the person unhooking if I'm nearby. Also, I wish the ranking would get fix. I bounce back and forth between rank 1 and 2, but it would be nice not to lose a rank after getting 10 - 15 +1 or +2 games in a row.

    Thats not true, not all swf are unbeatable, and the ones that are super efficient can still lose if you drag someone into the basement and camp the crap out of them 🤷‍♂️

    I agree. I went against a 4-man SWF and they would tbag every pallet. If I was chasing one, the other three were doing gens together. I finally downed one and put them in the basement. All three bodied, tried to blind me, and everything they could to unhook the person. I know some people will argue it could have been a solo team, but they messaged me afterwards and told me that even though I camped the hook in the basement, it was the right play with how they were playing. After said and done, I ended up getting two of them. So, while it’s frustrating, it’s not impossible. I’m not one that one camps or tunnels, but at times playing more aggressive is warranted as killer.

  • @toxicnancymain - I personally don't run the pig, but I watch a Twitch streamer, Scorpionz, that mains pig and has a really good pig guide on Youtube.

  • Yes... I am able to duplicate this as I main Wraith. I have to ignore the audio/animation. I wonder if it's messing with survivors when they "see" me as they are still standing pretty close and not running when the bell audio plays.

  • What if they changed lobbies to only allow two people? Let's be honest, if you're defending four-man SWF groups, then you're most likely one to play that way. Which is fine, but is it really that fun? I think SWF four-man groups are difficult to play against. I feel true four-man groups get gens quicker, not using the term gen-rushing, and games are generally shorter. Personally, I like the challenge as it makes me a better killer main... as long as it's not a group of toxics, then it's no fun. I'm anxious to play this new patch today as I've been getting stuck as Wraith on top of pallets. I had to dc early in one match as there were still 5 gens not done and it happened within the first few minutes. All four survivors were tbagging/clicking their flashlights and farming points. I messaged them asking them to work on the gens and escape, so I could move on to the next game, but that was a mistake as they just messaged me back saying, "ez baby killer, uninstall, #########". So, the five minute ban was worth it as who knows how long they would have kept that up.

  • @Zaonhort, that makes sense about the icon and embarrassed as I should have known that. @hanniballecturer, thank you and glad to hear that I'm not going crazy.
