I saw some people complaining about distortion. It's a cherry picked quote so you can go "omg the other side is so dumb". Kind of why I like TCM and Breakers so much. Killers have objectives other than tunnel survivors to death and proxy camp. Some in Breakers will body camp and it's meh. Sometimes it's you, sometimes it's not. It takes so long to do that it's disadvantageous unless the killer is mortified of that specific player. But DBD was designed as a beta that became locked into that gameplay for almost a decade ago and nothing or noone is allowed to change it.

Tiny Myers posted:So I'm not defending them, just saying proxy camping *does* exist and I feel like it's legit to be a little annoyed sometimes, even if it's dumb as poo poo to bitch in endgame chat about it. Either you're being a dick to someone who's just playing the game OR they really were being a troll and now they have more incentive to keep doing it because they know it got under your skin. Yeah I gotchu. And we agree.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Is that what "proxy camping" is? Yeah I can see how that's annoying for a survivor, but also... often clearly the best thing for a killer to do. if you know there's gonna be an unhook, why would you intentionally go so far away you can't punish the unhooker or maybe even trade hooks? That's kind of the thing, it's an annoying thing to do, but it's a problem entirely of the survivors own making. If you have hyperaggressive survivors who will save people the second that you get five feet away then of course you are going to sit around for a second to grab the guy you absolutely know will be there. It wasn't as big of a deal earlier in the game's life because people spent more time on hooks, both out of fear and not knowing how to stack mad BPs. Then you have people like someone I had last night who just fast vaulted a window for the entire game while his friends bled to death outside. I know that Unknown kind of looks like a fish but that is some weak bait.

Had a similar game where someone just vaulted on the top floor of Ormond for five minutes, I was Artist so I couldn't even hit them with birds and I wasn't going to be arsed chasing them, ended up just spamming birds on the others to finish my daily Them: I just wanted the Balanced Landing archive Me: I just wanted my Artist daily ...also I automatically assume if someone does what they were doing it's Boil Over and it's safe to ignore them

DeathChicken posted:...also I automatically assume if someone does what they were doing it's Boil Over and it's safe to ignore them Tbh it's more than that for me, if a survivor wants you to chase them then it means they have a plan that they are at least somewhat confident in and you don't want to deal with plans unless you absolutely have to. I drive TTVs absolutely insane because they'll be humping me trying to get me to chase while I patrol gens. Why would I chase you, it's not like you're going anywhere, you've already spent all map following me like a lost puppy instead of doing gens. Eventually you're going to get too close and get smacked without any involvement from me.

I get why he hates it but I just cannot empathize with Otz on how much he thinks DS is too OP/oppressive since it can't let him tunnel people out for his streaks. Like cmon man....

Against billy or nurse it does basically nothing, against M1 killers it's pretty good, against everyone else it buys you enough time to get to a tile if you didn't drop in a complete dead zone. It hasn't been remotely OP ever since they added the conspicuous action mechanic and deactivated it in endgame. Otz is full of poo poo on this one.

The problem with DS isn't using it as an anti-tunnel perk, it's survivors that take OTR/DS/UB, get unhooked then run into killer knowing that they can either waste so much of the killer's time or get hooked for a second time and have everyone cry about tunnelling

I don't weaponize them against killers, I just hate being tunneled.

I wouldn't call sitting around for a second proxy camping. It's gotta be a bit of time to be that, like insidiuous bubba bullshit. If I know a survivor is there and fake leaving, that's not camping thats just a good strat for starting a chase with them. Its like the survivors who call you out for camping when all 3 of them are at the hook. No. I'm not sitting here doing nothing, I am dealing with you, person who is here, why would I leave?

No, yeah, for me proxying is people who hover around in the same 30 meter radius of the hook with NO evidence of other survivors, with zero interest in patrolling gens, and they do this every time until the person reaches second stage. All they're interested in doing is intercepting the unhooker or tunneling. And typically they'll hit the unhooker while they try to unhook, hit them again to down them, hook that person, and the cycle begins again. Is it a valid way to play? Sure. Is it loving exhausting especially in solo queue? Yeah man. It's just camping with extra steps because they have to avoid the facecamp meter now.

Everyone talks about Insidious Bubba but lemme tell you, if you want to be a professional camper give Insidious Unknown a try. I hung out near a hook and just watched someone walk right by me to get the unhook. I of course didn't tunnel, but it would have been easy

TCM released an update. Gutted survivor perks, buffed killer perks. They even lied because months ago, they nerfed a meta survivor perk. But people didn't overreact because they promised to rebalanced some killer perks in exchange. Well, they buffed them instead. I've uninstalled. This is beyond disappointment, it's baffling.

One thing I noticed playing Saturday night is that the Adrenaline change had one extra undocumented nerf - if someone is slugged and you can't find them, you used to have to be real careful because closing the hatch would trigger Adrenaline and they'd get up off the ground, possibly getting to a gate before you. I closed a hatch on Saturday and boom, they stayed slugged. Yay for killer, boo for survivor.

Customs I swear to god I'm not a murderer I'm just *playing* as a murderer Played a game last night where a guy was being kind of obnoxious to the killer. A Jake with the same blighted skin all lovely toxic Jakes wear, doing flip flop/unbreakable/boil over crap and deliberately going down under pallets so his girlfriend could come save him, looping him in such a way that it was obvious he shouldn't have been at these ranks, and above all else, teabagging. All of this at 0 hooks. He was in a 2-man with a Sable who was enabling these shenanigans. The killer was Ghostface, and as soon as Jake teabagged, he gave up on the rest of the match and made it his life's mission to slug the Jake and teabag the poo poo out of him in return until he bled out. Dear reader, I'm not gonna lie, my own 2-man dragged out the match a little bit by (plausibly) dragging out repairing the final gen so we could make sure Jake died. Ghostface let the rest of us go. Did a slug race and everything

Literally every single person for a year and a half: If you buff DS back to 5 seconds you're going to get survivors using it aggressively and it's going to disproportionately affect lower tier killers without any kind of movement BHVR: okay but if we disable M2 powers it won't be consistent (kicking 8 different hex totem functionalities under the bed where nobody will see them) anyway here's 5 second ds because we can't figure out how to do basekit anti tunnel So anyway 3/4 of my games today had people running at me aggressively with DS/UB and I didn't see a single killer under A tier at all. You know, the ones who can eat a 5 second DS and don't care? How about that meta shakeup, everyone! DS/UB/DH/Adren on every survivor, and Pop/Pain Res/Nowhere to Hide/Corrupt Intervention on every killer, but mostly Huntress and Blight. The game's sure come a long way since 2022

Aren't they already steadily destroying their audience with the slow poison of the games problems? No new toys for 3-6 months would hurt but what's the alternative, just tough it out until the actual crash or somebody floats DbD 2 in a meeting?
