On an island, sure, it's an interesting concept. But the problem is, FNAF chapter brings in FNAF fans who are some of the worst fan base ever, and that's saying something in the DBD thread.

Plus the FNAF creator is a bit of a douche so anything that brings him more money mehhhhhh

It'd be fine if it had any kind of a time limit, it's mostly the whole "Get hit for a permanent buff" that's ridiculous

I give it even odds that they either buff it outright or "nerf" it in such a way that does absolutely nothing to fix the issues it has.

Nah they know it's a problem. They definitely won't buff it, but I can see them not realizing the problem with it and nerfing the wrong thing.

As I've said before, the things people would like to see in a change -

- Some sort of clue the survivor has it
- Some time limit
- Removing the healing endurance part of it
- But most importantly, get rid of haste stacking.

The bar is so low for a DBD competitor and even TCM is dropping the ball because they are fumbling post launch support so so badly.

Haven't had a chance to check it out but Lillipie dropped a video about VHS since her NDA expired. The only thing I know about is they stole her outfit concept, so interested to hear about anything else going on behind the scenes.

Yeah, I'm done playing DBD until something is done about the xenomorph. There's literally no counterplay. The tail has no indication of use, so it's undodgeable, and even if the killer misses they aren't slowed down any meaningful amount so they just hit you a second later. You can't knock them out of tail mode with a single turret, and good luck getting two turrets into an area; it takes forever to take them to a mutual location, and that's assuming you even get a chance to grab two without other survivors taking them. The only way to do it is to coordinate where everyone will put them, and a killer whose only counterplay is "play in a SWF" is a bad killer.

Edit: And even IF you manage to get them out of crawler mode, the xeno just ducks in a tunnel and gets crawler back in 2 seconds.

It's a shame, as I like the concept of the killer and the license is obviously awesome, but everything about xeno is overtuned as gently caress.

You can't get better against xenomorph. You can only hope they play worse. It's a boring broken character.

For a long while pretty much any given release was waiting to see how a new killer performs on PTB, then getting prepared for baffling nerfs they'd get when it goes live.

Which is funny because zombies are half or more of what survivors complain about going against Nemesis.

It's confirmation bias. When you're playing a survivor, you only remember the times a zombie blocked a door on an indoor map, or harassed you off the last gen when it was at 90%.

When you're a nemesis, all you remember is the zombies dry humping a random rock in the corner of the map.

what a humorous anecdote.
That's why Nemmy's only got 3 perk slots because the first one always has Discordance - it's the only loud noise that the zombies will investigate at any distance for some reason. It keeps them at least SOMEWHAT near the objective you need them to do.
If the survivors split up or you get red forest though it's gg.

That's a really weird fact that I didn't know before. Wonder why they won't investigate any other loud noises like that.

I'm 95% sure Spies from the Shadows triggers them too, but nowhere near as useful as Discordance.

They do investigate loud noises but they have a really small range, it's like 6m outside their detection cone or something like that. Vaults, Spies, hosed up skillchecks, screams, etc, are in that 20ish meter range. Discordance is the only one without the range limitation.

Otz has Xenomorph at roughly A tier so far.

He'll probably settle in at A and stay there once the tail recovery bug is fixed and they fiddle with turrets. But right now he's like Sadako where if you don't know how to go against him it's a challenge. I had a 3 gen chase against him last night because two loops had gens in good position, so combined with MFT and Resilience plus it was obviously a baby Xenomorph I was pretty easily avoiding him and he was without his power most of the time.

I love Texas chainsaw, I hate dbd, and I hope it succeeds where evil dead and Friday the 13th failed. Dbd can still be it's own thing, just don't let TCM die.

FYI there is an exploit where survivors can clip into lockers and the killer can't do anything to them, so you know. Not a great time to play killer. (is there ever :v:)

This happened multiple times tonight, on both sides. Had a survivor wait out the entire EGC while the killer just stood there trying to get at him. Needs fixed ASAP.

They've had them since day one, a lot of TCM players came from DbD and they brought the habit with them. I'd like to see a change where if you've been stabbed or shoulder tapped you get a short resistance, enough to chase victims out so they can't just chain stun you.

It's a fun game though. I'm enjoying it for longer than I thought I would.

To combat that there's a perk called rubber boots which allows you to walk on the electrified grid. Very satisfying when they are not aware of it. Or you could just farm xp until they leave.

Yep, I just start forcefeeding gramps.

Although there's been a few times where I just barely caught someone with Leatherface's heavy attack who was trying to be a shitter at the exit and it was the greatest feeling in the game.
