Conversely - I have played just under 1,000 hours so far in 2021 and come across - 1 hacker. It's all anecdotal. In just over 4k hours total in DBD I have ran across 3 hackers - which is far fewer than I have in other online games.

Same here. I am currently somewhere around 1200 hours clocked on DbD and have come across hackers 2 times. I guy who teleported and another who could not be injured. Both situations were annoying af though lol

Nope. It's no longer worth that, either.

Yet somehow still worth your time posting about it for attention shrug lol

Okay so this may sound dumb but stay with. Bait out the flash by uncloaking slightly till they shine the light, before you stop the uncloak and run around them in a circle. Your speed can usually outpace their mouse movements, though zig-zagging works too. They'll waste a lot of their flashlight on you doing this- though it's a lot more complex if you ever animation lock yourself (like breaking a pallet or vaulting a window without Shadow Dance). Best advice in that scenario is to take the burn then not re-cloak in chase if you feel like they can get to loops that force you into animation lock again.

That sounds like solid advice, thank you very much, will give it a try next match! ^^

I enjoy playing on the switch. I have only three small complaints. The first is I can't play killer in handheld mode; the screen is too small and I miss stuff (this is a personal problem not one with the game itself). The second is the controls are a bit tough to get used too. And the third is the player base is small. Lobby times are never more than 5 min (North America) but I see a lot of the same people.

Thanks bro, I appreciate the info!

I read that apparently playing docked results in bad micro stuttering so I imagine I will play on handheld the majority of the time. Yeah I can imagine controls for killer will be extra hard to get used to, especially nurse! ^^

The small player base is a bit of a worry but then again the game is still only new (ish) to Switch so hopefully that will grow some more.

But they do give out escalating bans for DC'ing. It just might not seem like it since it's different people every game, but rest assured if people do it excessively they do get banned for it, console or Pc. I would know since I actually got a week long ban for said Dc'ing.

While I don't doubt that's true, the issue then is that it's happening behind the scenes. In a game where I would imagine the majority of players (and I very much could be wrong) are solo and so they never see the ramifications of a report or dc. In this case there is little deterrent to other players not to dc because the consequences are anecdotal until they actually see a ban happen to them.

To give a slightly off-topic example, I was held hostage in a game as killer by two survivors (this was before endgame rework) for over half an hour. I managed to record the match + the post game chat where they admitted what they did. I opened a ticket with support, waited a couple of days for a reply and submitted the video as requested. I then got a reply from support a couple days later saying that they would look into it from here but that they do not notify you further of the actions taken.

It honestly felt so frustrating to go through all the hassle of the support system, waiting for the ticket to be got to, uploading the footage, etc,. to still be as left in the dark as if I had might as well just hit the report player button post lobby and left it there.

My point is that using the current tools the game provides to try combat the toxic portion of the playerbase feel completely underwhelming, as does the consequences for disconnecting. Other games have lockout timers for leavers and I just don't see why DbD can't do the same, when it's an issue that is actively affecting the game negatively.

in PLEASE BEHAVIOUR can we get some temporary measures against the toxic dc'ing playerbase? Comment by Daneryn July 16, 2019

@DoubleTap said:
Perma-ban for everyone who DC's then every other round won't exist meaning Killer queues will be twice as long as they are now, 30 minute wait times not long enough? No problem! lets extend them to 1 hour! =D

Maybe not perma-bans right away until dedicated servers come in, but I definitely can't see a problem with, say 15/30/60 min re-queue timers. I would honestly rather wait longer for a game than get put quickly into a match where there's not a full team

All this rage when the PTB has barely been running a couple of days smh...

I would get half the outcries if we were, say a day before release and BHVR had released a post saying "Here he is all ready to be shipped out to live tomorrow!", because I actually agree that the new killer has a lot to be tweaked before then and is currently far from viable.

Having said that, again, it's literally early PTB so some people just need to chill and see what is taken on board over this period before you go looking for blood. And yeah, if the killer is released as he is now then by all means voice your opinions and then it's on BHVR for not listening to their player base.

Or do anyway, peeps going to find something to be giving out about one way or the other I guess..

He's absolutlely right. The power is meant as a delaying tactic.
When we shipped Pig, the complaint was "hey nobody dies from RBTs". But that was by design. :)

Yeah I remember those days! 😅

Doing better with Legion now, I was really underestimating the use of feral frenzy to wound survivors. Although they can heal deep wounds quickly, it still serves to keep players injured which I find makes them play much more cautiously at the least, making them more likely to mess up in situations such as loops where it comes down to mind games.

Cheers again guys!

@FrenziedRoach said:
If he's mending, he's not doing generators
That's sort of the point of the power is to waste survivors time. Wound as many as you can while power is active, chase down however is closest and down them when the power wears off.
Think of his power like the Pigs - it's there to slow them down and keep them off gens. So it's actually okay if people are mending while you are chasing somebody else - they aren't getting anything done if they're mending.
But keep them guessing. If all you ever do is wound without ever downing, they won't heal to full. Legion has regular killer speed now, so don't be afraid to keep them guessing by not using your power on wounded ones and downing them outright.

Cheers for the advice!

I main Nurse and in my own opinion, I think she is only considered broken because matchmaking is broken. When I am up in red ranks, players know how to use tactics like you mentioned, mind games etc, but when rank reset hits I get 4k's almost every other match. Once matchmaking ever gets fixed I think a lot of complaining will stop..

No.
The Killer shouldn't be able to see the items cuz they quickly leave the lobby they've created.
It's annoying.
Killers are abusing a game mechanic and it needs to be removed.
Ya feel me on this one?

Once I can play nurse without 3 insta dc, then lets talk :P

in Remove the ability for the Killer to see the Survivors with items. Comment by Daneryn March 31, 2019

I just think it's messed up that the game has no counter measures to deter this, like for instance let the crows appear over survivors heads once no generator has been interacted with on the map after "x" amount of time passes or something. The simple fact that you can be forced into a position where your forced to go afk or disconnect is honestly quite poor.

In either case I sent in the footage to the support team which includes them taunting about it in the end game lobby so hopefully these individuals get some form of ban/suspension.

On the plus side, I figured out how to record gameplay footage finally! '^^
