My experience so far is that family members working together can kill pretty much whoever they want by locking them down and preventing them from using any loops, and the one shot bubba build seems to be getting a lot of traction now.

Johnny has a very strong use that I think you guys are sleeping on. You absolutely cannot hide in a bush anywhere if he's looking for you, in any direction. I've lost countless matches because I was flushed into an area and managed to dodge two other killers by hiding around a corner in the dark or in a bush somewhere, but then Johnny comes along and ruins it because he can find my footprints and know exactly where I am. Even if he can't immediately catch me himself, the fact that he forces mebout into the open where other killers can also see me practically guarantees I die in situations like that, which are way more common than you'd think. Cook has to at least have a general idea of your location to find you and being behind him makes it a lot more complicated for him to find you, but that doesn't affect Johnny. There aren't any scratch marks in this game so losing Killers is way easier as long as you have even a little bit of distance on them or there are a bunch of corners where they have to guess them where you went. That doesn't affect Johnny. Umbreon fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Aug 28, 2023 |

Shaman Tank Spec posted:100%. I know some people who only play in a group of five, rotating the role of killer. They love DBD, and can ignore all the dumb poo poo and drama in the community. It sounds like heaven. I do this every week with some friends, we put our names in the spinner and spin the next person who gets to play killer until everybody has gone at least once. It's extremely awesome and I highly recommend it if you can find four other people to join you. Umbreon fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Sep 1, 2023 |

Vanguard Warden posted:Yeah, this is a particularly silly idea. It's sort of a running joke that the PTR only ever gets used for basic bug-catching or to hype up releases, because stuff that hits the PTR almost always hits the live servers afterward with minimal changes regardless of player feedback. When was the last time the devs cut something after bad reception to the PTR? I can literally only think of one thing and it's the base-kit unbreakable/finishing mori thing that was just busted. The last few PTBs had a bunch of changes that came directly from player feedback. There is plenty of legit things to poo poo on BHVR for, but you guys need to stop mindlessly doing it. They do actually care and are trying, even if they gently caress it up all the time.

Ghislaine of YOSPOS posted:if you’re tired of getting flash lighted (flash lit?)may I recommend pyramid head and Knight. knight is 100% flashlight proof if you remember to drop a guard and pyramid head is always stoked to see two survivors in the same general area—if you feel like someone is gonna stun you can pretty easily turn it around on them with your special or you can protect yourself with your nasty ground button or you can skip hook phase entirely with Cage. i pretty much had to put my favorite killer, Pinhead, away because he’s so susceptible to getting chained, lol, by flashlights. FYI you can defeat flashlights completely by looking up or down if you have control of yourself, and facing a wall right before you pick up if you're worried about flashlight saves when picking up a survivor. Pinhead is not any more susceptible to being flashlight stunned than any other killer.

In a perfect, just world, "mains" in DbD are eventually forced to play the other side they never touch and reach X rank or Y achievement, so that they can understand exactly how their actions feel to the other side. Certainly wouldn't fix everything, or even much, but at the very least it would cut down on all the people who blindly play "efficiently" without truly understanding what it feels like to have that done to you. Survivor mains learning what it feels like to get Gen rushed or witnessing 4 BnPs, killer mains being on the receiving end of being tunneled or slugged when nobody has unbreakable, etc. Again, people will gladly do it anyway because plenty of the playerbase doesn't give a poo poo about how the other side feels, but I posit that there are plenty who would care if they at least knew what it felt like. A man can dream. In the meantime I'm going to go back to "accidentally" body blocking survivors who teabag killers at dropped pallets.

As someone who does this regularly (and am completely ok with getting tunneled out as a result of doing that), I've seen that this interaction actually has a pretty fascinating set of behavior and reactions to it. The chill, never-tunnel killers generally maintain their stance and just let me run off, and the sweatier/efficient killers will immediately switch to me, as expected. But there seems to be a tiny window of 1 second after unhook where if I body block then, even the efficient killers won't switch to me. I'm wondering if that's being done out of respect, or because it's not a big enough loss of time, or both?

Iri anything is cool in concept, but it just doesn't work as a concept nowadays. They were balanced for back when seeing them was legitimately rare and both sides had incredibly overpowered things they could do with them. Nowadays many of them just exist to make things much less fun for the other side but with an alarmingly high frequency with how much more blood points are in the game and how faster it is to get them. I don't want to say they need to be removed entirely, but the entire concept needs a rework, both for survivors and killers. (Outside of BNPs survivor iri's are generally trash and boring, and thus are bad for different reasons)

Mr. Locke posted:What, flashlights/pallets/Head On knocking survivors out of the killers hands not good enough for ya? Not that, let me knock off add-ons. Doesn't even have to be the killer weapon, just add-ons. Killer could still pick them up just like survivors can. Would that be terrible and probably cause survivors to lose even harder because they're going for stuns they shouldn't? Absolutely. Would it likely not impact the match enough to even matter? Probably. Would a survivor get tunneled straight out of the match the very instant a killer even thinks the survivor has that perk/item? Definitely. But I don't care, I want it anyway.

Relyssa posted:Am I the only one getting a lot more killers just shaking their head at me while they slug me/stare at me on the hook? I'm not very good at this game, nor do I do anything like head on abuse/flashlight clicking, whatever. I don't understand. It happened to me in about 4 of the last 7 matches I played. I take it as an attempt to communicate to me and I either flap my arms back at them or mooncrawl away from them in response. Definitely happening more often than I normally see it though right now. Also, am I hallucinating or did BHVR stealth update Nemesis? I went to use a syringe today and instead of the reused healing animation there was an actual syringe use animation with an appropriate sound and everything. Did I miss that in some patch notes or something?

BrewingTea posted:If each of the Survivors, individually, scours the entire map to find all of the generators, and then (without communication) agree 100% on the order they should be done, there's nothing the killer can do to stop them. You can easily tell who in the thread only plays killer and doesn't know how solo queue works at all. Hold on, let me just make sure my team of people who can't communicate with each other only does the correct gens at all times and don't three gen themselves. e: completely their fault if they three gen themselves, they could have silently mind controlled their teammates into stopping at any time. Oh and the killer intentionally forcing a 3 gen? Impossible, never happens. And if it does happen it's the survivor's fault for not stopping the killer from doing it.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Buddy I play loving solo queue all the time, it’s really not that hard to realize when you’re in a potential 3-gen spot and simply… walk to a different generator. If you're actually trying to convince me that you play solo queue but you fail to consider what your teammates are actually going to be doing regardless of what you think is a good idea, then no you don't play it, or you most definitely aren't paying attention to anything but yourself and the killer. Like cool, you decided to not 3 gen yourself, unfortunately the rest of your team who isn't coordinating anything at all did whatever gens are safe for them to do did it anyway. You can choose what you're going to do, but you can't choose what your teammates are going to do and you can't even tell them what to do or avoid. A large population of the player base (on both sides)doesn't even know what the hell 3 genning is and many of the survivors who do know often can't do much about it because the killer either chases them off of the generators they're trying to switch to or their teammates are doing the wrong gens without even knowing it. And I play killer too, you know what's even easier than just walking away from a potential three gen as a survivor? Walking towards survivors trying to do that as a killer. You know exactly where all seven gens are the moment the match starts, the survivors do not and are sure as hell not about to explore the entire map to try and memorize all seven gen locations, they're going to do them as they can. Find yourself a nice 3 gen as a killer and just walk towards anybody trying to do any of those three gens and watch as all the other gens pop without any further input on your part.

That being said, I'm wondering how viable it would be to give the killers the ability to damage exit gates similar to how they kick gens. They can already hit the gates to open them, so it shouldn't be too hard to code in the opposite. As far as I can tell it shouldn't be too crazy as survivors can just go to the other gate if a killer is trying to camp one of them, And it would at least let the killer put a stop to obvious 99'd gate shenanigans.

Honestly, anything besides "sit there doing nothing on a hook until somebody pulls you off" has my vote E: trying too hard to win isn't mean. It's more so the fact that doing that also actively means Survivors don't get to play the game. Not have a bad time, but straight up do not get to play.

Relyssa posted:Good lord people get very rude when you slug them to death. For the crime of bringing multiple boil overs/breakouts/top tier flashlights. And an eyrie of crows offering. And repeatedly hanging out at the godawful main building. You shitheads knew exactly what you were doing. I get slugged and bled out semi-often, but I'm still trying to figure out the primary reason. I don't use boilover or anything like that, and if I'm not running unbreakable/power struggle, I commonly crawl myself towards the killer/nearest hook to make it easier for them to get it all over with. And yet, they often don't, they just pass over me as if I don't exist until they down my entire team, then vanish into the ether somewhere until everyone bleeds out or disconnects. Are they doing that just to be lovely or is there some sort of archive/challenge/daily that's encouraging that?

This will cause 8 generator regression events on that generator, preventing Ruin from working and preventing the Killer from kicking that generator for the rest of the match. Is that how it's really going to work? IIRC a gen has to lose at least 2.5% at once to count as a regression event, so ruin is immune E: oh wait, they deleted gen tapping, to stop regression you have to repair a gen for 5% now Umbreon fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Jan 30, 2024 |

Most of the new billys I've seen haven't figured out the addon combo yet so they're fairly normal matches, but to date, every single billy who's used the combo has gotten a 4K while tunneling straight off the hook. I'm even using DS and DH, but it means little since he can erase any distance you get so easily. I'm glad Billy isn't poo poo anymore but they really need to nerf to cooldown on miss. The tunneling off hook sucks but what makes it feel so lovely is that there's literally nothing you can do about it, there's no way to outplay it.
