OxMan posted:To yall distortion enjoyers, how many matches do you think you get maximum value out of it, and how do you feel once it runs out? I just cant bring myself to trade otr for it. Even if it never procs in a match I get peace of mind knowing that the killer is not running a bunch of aura reading. Whenever I try a game without it I get so paranoid about bbq or lethal pursuer or what have you.

Yeah. Against a full aura reveal build it might run out occasionally, but it will still gain stacks through the match and continue to provide benefits. Something with intermittent terror radius, like Ghost Face, Skull Merchant, or Wraith will also have moments of running out. And, like I said, something with no terror radius at all and lots of aura reading, i.e. Mirror Myers will chew through your stacks quickly and leave you down a perk. I'm games against killers with 1 or 2 aura perks and a normal terror radius, which is 90% of games, you're basically immune to aura reading all game, with the bonus of occasionally but leaving scratch marks. Edit: ^^^ for real! Distortion never triggering is just as valuable as the aura hiding. The only time I don't run Distortion is in a 4 man when somebody else is using it. That way we still have killer perk knowledge, without throwing the other two survivors to the wolves. rydiafan fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Mar 28, 2024 |

I mostly ran Ultimate Weapon to prevent people from squirreling away in a bush forever once two people were left in a match, so it's kind of unfortunate they can just run Distortion and do that now with impunity. Oh well

now that I don't have to burn a slot on calm spirit anymore i might go back to my beloved fuckaround build of vigil/dramaturgy/strength in shadows/distortion if lethal pursuer didn't exist i'd maybe consider dropping distortion from my builds but gently caress i hate the killer coming straight to me right away at the beginning of the match, it's so stressful

Two things: Number one -  Halfway there on Mikaela, she was P40 less than a week ago. I've got like 200 maps, which is almost 8 times more than I had prior to the event (because the bloodweb rarity thing makes iri items loving IMPOSSIBLE to find even though they're both pretty bad nowadays) Number two -  The ultimate counter to a background player sabo squad is to simply leave them on the floor. Just don't pick them up! If you hate saves and rescues, try Twins! The counter to Twins is to group up, yes, but that only works if you pair off so all 4 of these bozos hanging out in the corner of the map means that I both did not get a single pain res and also ended the match at 5 gens.

Had a killer pretend to be give up and be friendly after the gens were powered. Once he'd lulled us into a sense of complacency well enough, he downed all of us. Then he let everyone crawl out, except the Claudette who had been teabagging earlier in the match, who he moried in the gate.  I love this game dude

DBD mobile doesn’t have to design new killers, so a lot of work is done for them, which means time for all the features you want elsewhere But this is offset by dbd mobile being grindy and also recently discovered to use AI art so I’ll still to the regular version.

Oof I feel like the breakdancing emote is actually optimal in a way because it makes you shorter even if it doesn't affect your hitbox. Like, imagine trying to hit that with Huntress.

The flags are misshapen and it's way too high up to begin with, but the string also just sort of... disappears?  This lamppost just sort of... stops. It just doesn't connect to anything. And of course  What the hell is that thing

Doomykins posted:The true horror is the idiots in the twitter thread saying "who cares?" I mean this is the same argument people made against CGI replacing practical effects. The reality is AI art is here to stay, and will supplement normal artistry but will slowly become the majority source of cheap/quick artwork. I also happen to agree with "who cares" here. If no one had pointed it out, I would have never noticed. Like yeah there are tells now that its AI art, but based on the pace AI art has progressed, that will soon not be the case and it will be more or less indistinguishable. At that point who cares?

Yeah bad take Kwolok sorry but if you want an exhaustive rebuttal you can google any of the numerous places this discussion has been had with real artists discussing how disastrous this is to livelihoods in already-crumbling industries. The Twins changes aren't in yet, they won't be til PTB, but I'm real excited. Someone in here said Scott Jund said some Twins mains are concerned they might be overtuned which has me worried most of the changes might be rolled back. I haven't forgotten how they defended not buffing Twins in the first place with "well some high level comp players are really good!".

Tiny Myers posted:Yeah bad take Kwolok sorry but if you want an exhaustive rebuttal you can google any of the numerous places this discussion has been had with real artists discussing how disastrous this is to livelihoods in already-crumbling industries. I don't really care because all labor under capitalism is theft. What you are mad at is yet again capitalism. But you weren't mad when technological advances took away laborers right to work with automation or industrialization and this is exactly the same. Art isn't somehow a unique bespoke form of labor. The problem, as always, is capitalism causes an unending search for profit that will make people's entire livelihood be automated away. AI art, for some reason, has at least made people start noticing and pointing out how bad it is for society but it's been like this FOR. loving. EVER. And I'm not saying that makes it justified. It doesn't. But any form of automation/industrialization/digitization often obliterates working class people in the process. It's easy now to be upset about digital art because it still has visible flaws but again that won't be the case soon, and I wonder if, once made invisible, people will continue to understand what the actual problem is... Edit: sorry this is a dumb derail. I guess I'm just frustrated that people are only paying attention to labor theft when it affects their video games or Twitter artists. But you are right, it is theft and it is lovely. The whole world is lovely and I hate it. Derail over Kwolok fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Mar 29, 2024 |

I think realistically twins is going to be somehow even more insufferable to play against now. Imo the biggest issue with twins has always been that the counter play to Victor is boring and the winning strategy with Victor is to just run up to a survivor and pointblank pounce, it's pretty much guaranteed and super boring. It would have been cool if they actually tweaked that part of him

I hope that the changes with Victor seeming more responsive make it more fun and easy to get silly pounces like over-the-pallet poo poo. I love when Twins players do that. Once had one goofing around who was just repeatedly trying to get cool shots and it was great. Didn't crush Victor, was just like "hell yeah man try again" and then hooting and hollering when they made it I hope they improve the lovely collision.
