It really doesn't help that SWFs and other really determined survivors will find a way to weaponize any countermeasure the devs can come up with. We saw it with DS, with basekit BT, etc. This leads to these things getting nerfed until they're basically useless like current-day DS where the stun barely lasts longer than it takes for you to hit the ground and begin moving.

True, that's basically one of the two big problems they need to solve but won't.

- SWFs make balancing anything on the survivor side impossible, and they refuse to even consider adding meaningful improvements to try to close the gap.
- Blight and the Nurse make balancing anything on the killer side impossible, and they just end up hurting and nerfing killers that already suck to play while inadvertently buffing Blight and the Nurse.

The game's a loving mess.

Just give me all the 3ggs_n_b4con you have.

Wait...wait.

I worry what you just heard was...
"Give me a lot of b4con_n_3ggs."

What I said was...
"Give me all the 3ggs_n_b4con you have"

...Do you understand?

I don't know why you think that. I just played against a Dredge and it gets stupidly dark during Nightfall.

He said visibilty, maybe the players don't glow like in normal mode? I dunno.

As far as darkness, streamers were saying it didn't seem much different. Haven't tested it myself yet though.

Yeah it gets dark but Dredge is still limited to the visual distance of the event, where normally he can see your bright white self across the map

I don't think this is gonna get Sadako anywhere NEAR to being OK, but hey, I guess she's better than yesterday.

E: I really hope this isn't the last of the fixes because if it is, she's still solidly in the "I want a loving refund for my purchase" territory.

They just need to lean entirely into the lore that the Entity fucks with both the survivors and killers and change unhooking to some kind of escape teleport. Increase the time it takes to make a successful unhook by like 3x so Survivors can't just rush the hook to get a body off, but if a survivor gets the 'unhook' or the killer accumulates X amount of facecamp time during a hook stage, then have the Entity come down to grab the hooked survivor and yeet them across the map.

Something like PH's cages would work imo. Slap them on the hook, they go away. Hang around the hooked survivor too long, they go away again. No hook aura.

They are only 5% complete... and its so people can find them by sound. Also this mode is so so so insanely killer sided if you're having a hard time I've got some bad news for you...

Like having the gens start partially on is actually one of the few good designs of the mode...

The recent BHVR AMA on Reddit had them state "we won't be adding a crosshair but we also won't ban you for using an external one" but a little more coy than that.
I use "crosshair v2" which I do not remember downloading but it is on my PC and all it does is slap a little white + in the center of my monitor. I find it incredibly useful on some killers (huntress, trickster) and hella detrimental on others. (deathslinger, mostly)

Relyssa posted:

I have within the week seen someone give up the second she heard my terror radius. Didn't chase, didn't kick a gen, didn't tunnel, just straight up AFK under hook until I downed her for having birds at which point she insta-suicided. I've had multiple other people DC on first down, or kill themselves first hook or AFK under hooks, or etc etc roughly once every 3rd or 4th game.
Peep the extremely meta and unfun to play against Skull Merchant build that causes this behavior:

I've been keeping track of my Steam and Skype/Discord names for nearly a decade now, if you want to read them. This one has lasted a lot longer than some for the sheer fact that people are still viscerally reacting to it almost a month later.
I find that forcing people's brains to read phrases that conjure nebulous, yet vivid imagery is a more effective tool for shock humor than what half of the dbd community does, IE: "Hex: Devour rear end" or "Myers' Cum Slut" and things of that nature.

Any middle schooler can go "haha i am horny for wesker isn't that soooo weird?" it takes a Bad Name Connoisseur to make my particular brand of terrible art.

This could also be the much rumoured Until Dawn crossover, since that game featured similar themes.

Or it could be a distillation of the game's central problems: a killer who can take the form of a survivor, which is of course terrible for solo queue but for SWFs the killer might as well not have a power.
