A short summary about how the chapters and shrine work would probably be a good idea too so new people don't think they have to buy $400 in DLC just to compete.

Evil Kit posted:I agree with Nessus for the most part, but explicitly want to say that an accurate summary should include both the good and the bad parts of the game. I'm happy to make the thread and keep the op up to date if there are no objections, just want to collect as much stuff to put in it as needed. If folks want to throw links and resources in for me to compile please do. e: good god i am bad at writing summaries of things e2: made a google doc here with full editing for everyone. put what i've got in there so far, when we're eventually happy with it (it needs a lot of work) I can get the thread posted. will reserve the second post for patch notes/chapter info Relyssa fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Aug 25, 2023 |

If folks want to throw links and resources in for me to compile please do. Here you go I helped quote:Dead by Daylight is an intense multiplayer horror game that thrusts you into a deadly cat-and-mouse pursuit between survivors and killers. As a new player, you'll choose to play either as one of the survivors desperately trying to escape a nightmarish realm or as a killer, hunting down your prey with chilling determination. The game offers a diverse roster of both survivors and killers, each with unique abilities and backstories, allowing for varied gameplay experiences. Survivors must work together to repair generators and outsmart the killer, while the killer's goal is to capture and ultimately sacrifice the survivors to an otherworldly entity. With its atmospheric environments and heart-pounding suspense, Dead by Daylight is a thrilling test of survival skills.

My only other request is for you to not get permabanned Relyssa, otherwise we'll have to seriously consider discontinuing the thread. DbD cursing the OP to eventually get permabanned feels kind of thematic though. Who knew the Entity was out here browsing SA for new killers?

Pyrolocutus posted:But what is a goon's power and perks? No goon would be a killer, they'd be a survivor and this would be the only perk. Low Effort Troll When rescuing a hooked survivor, cancel the rescue attempt less than 50% of the way through to activate Low Effort Troll. When Low Effort Troll is activated, the survivor suffers from the Exposed status effect and can be killed directly by the Killer for the rest of the trial.

 I used to know Boba Pearl - perhaps not super personally, but enough to have some nice chats on social media and stuff. This is how I found out about the news. I... hope she gets whatever help she needs.I'll try to add a little bit to the document later. Warnings about how the gameplay tends to go (looping, balance issues, toxicity, poor matchmaking) seem like a good idea, as well as the fact that the ingame tutorial is super barebones and will not teach you half of what you need to know. Nothing too overly discouraging, just a sort of "be prepared to not know what you're doing and potentially have some really weird and unpleasant matches, and this game is a lot jankier than it should be after 7 years". Some solid advice on which characters are good to start would be nice too, and maybe links to some good Otzdarva starting resources.

It's always been two games, it's just a dozen games have taken turns being the second one. TCM, Evil Dead, F13, VHS, whatever that Japanese schoolgirl one was.

Another goon tried to make a general Asymm game thread but I'm not sure how much it's being used? There just aren't... well, any Asymm games that aren't DbD that have managed to be successful.

Did 3 dailies over 4 matches and all were no kills. After that said "Alright now I'm playing for fun" and had 3-4ks the rest of the night. Including a particularly nasty Backpack Clown run where they just didn't pick up on me being all seeing and I had all survivors slugged with all gens at 0% progress. Let my backpack wriggle free and let them reset while I was on the other side of the map, then went back to it. Had all 4 down again and just decided to end it. Survivor with 200 hours in that match, the one before had 6,000 hours. I don't understand matchmaking in this game.

Honestly what killed F13 was the legal issues. I think people would still be playing it as the doofy party game it was if not for that. Hopefully TCM fills that slot because it feels much easier to walk off a 'bad' match than DBD. Even if some stuff is over-tuned, like Connie's speedrun, there's no 45 minute Skull Merchant matches. It'll be interesting to see how the game holds up after the Alien chapter drops.

Yeah agreed. They just need to fix some of the technical stuff, do a bit of balancing and it'll be in a good spot. I've won big, I've lost big, and it doesn't bother me. I'm having a lot more fun with TCM than I have with DBD in a long time.

I think this is the heart of it, yeah. I think "and other asymmetrical games" being tacked on is good. Real question is: what should the title be? Should there be some kind of jokey title or something more straightforward, like "Dead By Daylight (and other asymmetrical games too small for their own thread)"?

Hopefully TCM fills that slot because it feels much easier to walk off a 'bad' match than DBD. Even if some stuff is over-tuned, like Connie's speedrun, there's no 45 minute Skull Merchant matches. They were really good at releasing content for F13 (a single player patch, a new map patch, a small version of old maps patch, jason part 4, part 5...). And they were in the process of creating a "paranoia" game mode where no one was jason to start and then would become jason if they found part 5 mask. So it had legs. Hell, it kept going even after the lawsuit killed it. But once official servers were turned off, every lobby it seems became a hacked lobby (with rumors that it was a mod maker making them to force people into their mod). So it took some active killing of the game to make it go away. I don't know if TCM has the same legs given the movie franchise.

So they won't be introducing Chop Top or any of the other movie characters, just characters in the first movie and originals They have started repeatedly if the game is successful they 100% plan on trying to get the Rights to the other movies in the franchise. So far tcm has had an incredibly successful launch. Over 35 million matches have been played. On steam is sitting above a humble 15k peak but it seems to be sitting consistently in the console top lists for a solid week now. Overall it's very fun but they do need to tune and redesign a few key things. Overall I love the gameplay 100% more than dbd's. If they tone down some of the abusable things that let victims bully the family it'll be a dream. An actual tense spooky game instead of tag and doing generator's. Ideally this doesn't kill dbd. Because some of the most toxic people I've encountered so far were just people from the dbd community. It would be great if dbd continued to serve as a sort of quarantine zone for the most toxic players in asyms. I've had way way more wholesome end game chats in tcm than I've ever had in dbd and when there are toxic poo poo heads and I can check their profile, sure enough, they are thousands of hours dbd players. Also it's always ALWAYS the dbd players who also will not just leave in tcm Kwolok fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Aug 26, 2023 |
