  • I also just started playing again, hoping as a survivor only player (and granted I started playing at an advanced age and am not great) that dbd had maybe made some effort towards fixing the slugging/tunneling problem. Even if I lose, it can be fun IF the killer plays in a fair way.

    Sadly, that is the least of my problems. I have played 5 games, ALL five ran gearhead, nurses calling, lethal pursuer, and then deerstalker or another aura perk along with at least one addon that is also an aura addon. So if you heal, repair generators or do anything basically, she can see you, and then they use an addon that makes her beam of light either move faster, further or bigger.

    I appreciate a good game, with a good killer, with talent (like a good huntress that that plays fairly and doesn't feel the need to make the game as easy as possible on themselves just so they can win.

    I wish people still enjoyed playing a game and challenging themselves. Not being happy with an easy win, knowing that their competitors have no chance. When people watch videos of this killer getting a 4k in 45 seconds and they jump on the same build because it is easy, is just ridiculous.

    There should be a limit of certain types of perks for certain killers, and they need to stop making killer perks stronger and stronger (like gearhead) while lessening survivor perks.

    They keep saying they will make it better and then they just make the killers perks stronger and stronger. I have stopped playing for long periods of time, many times but this may be where I draw the line. I don't usually get upset at games, it's a game. My ego is not based on me winning or losing, but I at least want to have fun and not being able to survive for even one minute or to heal even one time is not fun and gets frustrating.

  • How can you blame them? It's a strategy?

    I have played against a handful of killers who manage to win without implementing unfair "strategies" or making excuses for poor sportsmanship.

    I have managed to win without implementing these behaviors and in fact go out of my way to play fairly.

    The killers who play fairly, don't base their self worth on winning a video game. They know how to lose or not have a perfect game.

    It has nothing to do with anything other than players who can't handle not winning.

    if they wanna stop tunneling and camping then they should address the main problem causing it. Map balance. The majority of killers struggle on huge maps already, then you add 100 pallets to each map and take out dead zones. Yeah no wonder people camp and tunnel. Every map has brain dead loops that offer almost 0 counter play for killers and guess what there’s usually another loop right next to it that leads to another and another and so on. Ntm while you’re chasing a survivor through this pallets corse. three gens are being worked on in the process.

    Survivor takes little to no skill anymore! Bhavior has put up the guard rails for survivors without giving anything meaningful to killer. But devs don’t care. They’ll coddle survivors to the end of time bc that’s where the money is.

    Yet somehow, I have played against a handful of killers that manage to win without implementing anything that would be unfair, on both large and small maps. They also don't base their entire self worth on winning. I understand that things happen, but trying to play fair would be great. I am often killed within seconds of being taken off of hook, and will be totally dead before any other survivor has even been hit. Or the rare times I make it to the end, they slug instead of just playing fairly. All because, gasp, they might lose, or only get 3 instead of 4. It is incredibly frustrating.

  • Yes! Yes! Yes! I quit playing for a while because tunneling and slugging was occurring EVERY SINGLE game. I came back and I see it is not even the slightest bit better.

    I hear killers say, well if I don't slug/tunnel the survivors win. Well first let's address the ridiculous fear of losing a video game and the fact that you were never taught how to lose. Then let's look at the fact that there are a handful of killers out there that somehow win without being unfair and making gameplay miserable.

    I hear killers say, well survivors do this or that…and I want to scream, you are not 5 years old, you don't use others behaviors as an excuse for your own bad choices.

    The anti-tunneling or anti-slugging should not require the use of perks. I understand that someone, somewhere will figure out how to cheat, but there has been zero attempt.

    There has to be some balance. I know I will stop playing again after this event because it is not fun, in anyway shape or form, to play anymore.

  • "Need"? How is tunneling a "need"? Somehow many killers play the game fair and square. They still win, sometimes they don't. The fact that winning is a "need" is a much bigger problem.

  • I started playing a couple of months ago and played everyday. I'm new to playing video games in general but played with friends and got better. (Not good, but better) I appreciate a good killer even if it mean I lose, at least the game is fun. You absolutely CAN win as killer without resorting to unfair gameplay.

    I stopped playing a couple of weeks ago. I was so very tired of tunneling, slugging and at times it seemed that the perks enabled would be so strong it was impossible to play as a survivor. At first I thought it was just me, but every game it was happening to everyone else as well.

    I know it can never be perfect, and someone out there will exploit anything that is put into place. That being said, if you must tunnel or slug to win then you aren't really winning AND winning is way too important to you.

    I came on today excited for a change. First game, all 4 survivors downed, and then hooked with no chance of doing anything. Even if one could have gotten off the hook, it would not have done any good. Game was over in less than 5 minutes. So I shut it off and will again, not be playing.

    I would also like to add, I have health problems and playing games allowed me to interact with friends and family and have something to do while stuck at home ( and sometimes in bed) for weeks on end. It's very sad that the game has become a chore rather than a joy.
