Not gaining exp in private games is another boggling decision. I just want to play with my friends, but if I want to experience the whole game I have to pub or cheatengine.

Maybe if they had mic chat it could just be audible in the game world rather than global. Like in rust and other games. if you find another person, you can form a plan. but maybe the killer can hear you too... I bought this game with the money I got back when I returned unfortunate spacemen, which is almost identical to this gameplay wise, only think The Thing rather than Jason Voorhees, nobody was even playing it, though, which is a shame. I've had lots of fun with this so far, I hope it stays populated for a long time!

Unfortunate Spacemen looks pretty good, one to put on my wishlist then struggle to get a group to play it. Not that anyone else will buy it at $15. I haven't managed to rank up yet, do you have to hit something like 15k score in a game to get enough pips? I keep getting around 10k.

I just assume you need some amount of circles filled or something. Maybe it's a set score? But usually if you get at least two or more full circles, you get all the pips.

Things you can be confident of: Another survivor sneaking up next to you and the killer noticing them then hitting you instead. Anyone joining your generator repair will gently caress up the skill check.  This might be useful but I've never heard it trigger so far. A lot of perks/items sound poo poo without upgrades. Deja Vu lets you see where a generator is at the start? They aren't hard to find. Similarly why would I bother taking a map? Now detecting the hatch aura that would be useful.

Premonition only really works if you're right next to the killer almost. I've found it useful to tell if a killer was waiting on the other side of the wall I was hiding on or if he was nearing my locker I was hiding in. My favourite is the survivor perk that lets you see bear traps. That's saved my rear end so many times.

The one that lets you see downed survivors is the most useful for the killer IMO. Nothing like chasing multiple people at one and then having to search through the grass like you dropped a contact lense.

Trap vision would be great but I meet so many Wraiths. Not that his special is that good so either people overvalue it or it's because he is default. I'm usually using box detection for free items. The bloodweb pricing is overtuned. At level 7 it's 8000 for a flashlight.

The hillbilly gets so hosed depending on which map pops up. Cornfield allows him to kick rear end but the forest maps completely neuter him. I never even bothered to rev up my chainsaw because even when I did have a straight shot to the survivor there were loving trees everywhere. The trapper is still my favourite. I love hearing the SNAP when a trap goes off.

Wraith is my favorite for the sole fact that you can sneak up on groups of people trying to repair a generator and turn it into a game of "who has the slowest reaction time"

My favourite perk right now, and I only have it at rank 1, is "Sprint Burst: When starting to run, break into a sprint at 150% your normal running speed for a maximum of 3 seconds" It's on a 40 second cooldown. It's really strong. I just make sure to walk anywhere, and whenever the killer notices me I take off at faster than his movement speed. If a killer hits me and I run, I shoot off so fast it looks like a speed hack or something. It's the strongest perk I've gotten so far. I wonder if ranking up will increase the duration or decrease the cooldown. LibbyM fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Jun 15, 2016 |

People react so differently. Some will book it the moment they hear the bells, others will stop repairing and look around confused, and the others will just keep working away none the wiser.

It looks like you can queue with friends as survivors, you have to set your steam download region to a low traffic area and queue at the same time, gotten in five games in a row with my friends. Game saved!

Ah, I've been killer each time, so maybe it's on my end  No other games crash, though, so it might just be the fresh-out-of-beta experience.Edit: Make that 3 out of 5. Even on low settings, ~7 minutes in, two survivors sacrifices and the third going on the hook... it's clearly an intermittent issue, but drat is it not frustrating.

This ranking system is garbage making it brutally hard to make it past even the first rank. http://www.deadbydaylight.com/manual/ranks/ Don't get enough points because you didn't do enough that the game says you should? Lose a pip. Game crashes because of steam problems/buggy game? Lose a pip. Killer DC's in the first 10 seconds of the match? Lose a pip. Holy poo poo I survived and made enough points to gain a pip holy gently caress... oh wait the game for whatever reason didn't track it. Lose a pip. jfc i'm gonna be level 20 forever

I have been wrecking nerds as the Trapper today and it is Good Good Good. My favorite is dropping random traps in the tall grass near generators, so when I come over to say hi and the survivors inevitably scatter, there's a half decent chance one of them will get wrecked by a trap. I realize that placing them under barricades or windows is more Optimal (I still do that, along with in front of hooks I currently have occupied), but the holy drat do I get a sadistic thrill out of imagining the surprise on peoples' faces when a trap bites them from the grass line. I keep loving up the repair skill checks as a survivor, though. I know the little noise happens shortly before the skill check happens, but I still miss about one in every 4 skill checks. I feel like such a bad.

Paradigmata posted:Thats what you get for playing chainsaw guy. Seriously, literally nobody seems ready for dropping a trap in front of a hook and they will happily charge up and get hosed by the trap while you're just out of terror range. Survivors CAN disarm the trap even without a toolbox and the associated sabotage command, but nobody does it.

I'm thinking the ability to actually cover spots you're not at makes the trapper the best killer overall but goddamn if spookin' folks as the wraith or chainsawing them like a madman isn't a great time. edit: holy poo poo there's actually a lunge attack why did I not look at these tutorials earlier Dog Fat Man Chaser fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Jun 16, 2016 |

I feel like chainsaw guy might get slept on a bit, the more I play him the more I'm starting to think he might be not just fun, but legitimately good as long as you're smart about how and when you use your chainsaw. I'm getting a lot of downs on people who would have just made it through a window and then juked me for eternity if I wasn't chainsaw. His ability to clear the entire map in a few seconds if you know where to line up is super useful too. Probably not going to be on the same level as the trapper, but I'm genuinely thinking he's better than wraith. Wraith will always be amazing for stomping new players. Is he harder to see on lower graphics settings, or is he just as visible? I'm thinking they might need to make him harder to see. LibbyM fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Jun 16, 2016 |

You actually choose if you want to be the Killer (you make the lobby) or the Survivors (try to join a lobby). Never forces, though it's more trying to find the players on either end.

I find that I have had the most success with the chainsaw by finding an area where I think survivors are and revving it. Run my little field mice Otherwise he is very situational and map-dependent

I really wish they would put some sort of time limit on it though. I had a round last night that lasted twenty minutes despite me killing three people in the first five because the last guy just ran and hid, hoping I would just give up and disconnect. I didn't DC and eventually killed them, of course, because gently caress rewarding that kind of behavior. But it would be nice to have bonus tracking or something if no one even attempts to complete an objective in like five minutes

Yeah, the hatch is supposed to encourage people to not play that particular game, but a number of people seem either unaware that it exists or unwilling to go looking for it after the game is already tits up. I had a game like that yesterday too and ended up punishing the player who did it by picking them up, dropping them down, hitting them again, and repeating every couple of steps as I dragged them slowly to the hook. Wasted my time too but yeah if you screw with me like that I'm going to have you listen to your character screaming and encouraging you to break your keyboard with useless wiggling for a while, you loving bet.

I've spent five minutes moving around the map honestly trying and failing to find a hatch in the cornfield map before (after an even longer time because it was such a garbage team i also had to solo two generators for the hatch to even be an option) There is an anti-camping measure in that crows will start flying over their head and cawing if they stand still or cower in a locker, so they are at least not able to just crouch behind a tree off in a corner

That reminds me. If I'm running along the edge of the map and spook a couple of crows, that creates a ping for the killer, right? I've always presumed it does, but when playing killer I've never noticed a noise ping come from something like that. I really only get it when a survivor sprints through an action or screws up a generator skill check.

There is a perk that gives a chance to mark you if you startle crows, but I don't think that it does it normally. It's just an audio cue. AFAIK the things that do mark are Messing up a skill check for repairing something (not healing, I think that is just audio) Knocking down a barrier Jumping over a barrier Jumping through a window? This one seems inconsistent, may be due to sprinting like you said And obviously things like successfully fixing a generator So that means unhooking, running, healing, opening the main gates, and all of that do not give "big" alerts

The crow perk is a percentage chance within a certain distance (both increase per rank of the perk) In addition to all those I'm pretty sure running near a fire barrel creates an alert.
