Mr. Locke posted:I mean, him being so much of the playerbase on himself is probably a massive statement on the state of killer design as a whole right now which... yeah. Most newer killers are overcomplicated, underpowered nonsense who get their big fans but not much else of the playerbase keeping interest in them. Hell, Wesker's basically just powercrept Pig (alternate attack mechanics, slowdown baked into their base kit, weird and unintuitive stealth via crouch/larger then normal killer radius) which is probably the only really damning thing about his design. Like, of all the killers released between Blight and now Mastermind is the only one that's really 'stuck' except maybe Nemesis and it's not exactly surprising why. Werf can crouch? That's news to me!

CuddleCryptid posted:The Xenomorph is probably one of the best killers I've played of the recent batch; the tunnel system lets you get close in on survivors, the tail is actually not that hard to use, and the perks mesh fairly well with the strengths of the killer (especially the one that tags injured people). It make my game and therefor it's a bad killer. But more seriously, I've been talking with a friend about the meta&such and one of the tips he gave me is that it's the survivor who lead the symphony, not the killer. They could draw the game for hours on end and still win in the end.

Vanguard Warden posted:No one is going to spend time remarking on all of the things in the game that they find okay, so people are obviously going to come across as more negative than they are when all the negative things stand out more. Ghost Face is really neat and really like for it, despite being beaten by dash of Weskers. Pig too is really cool. Quite normal but nice addition to the game.

Yeah, I also had salty people one time when it was the end of the game and I finally managed to have one hook (They were probably in a vocal chat together and had insane loop skill, at least better than my chasing skill). Since the gen were already done, I decided to just camp so that I could secure a kill and end the game quicker. 2 other persons came around trying to save their friend and I left the game with 3 kills instead of a measly one. Let just say they got salty and had thrown some pretty funny insult at me.

Very rude. I like when people do that because I can punish them with the dash of Whesker. It's always quite funny to have some easy hook/kill because of that.

Medullah posted:Even if BHVR were doing awesome, the game is stale and 3 new perks every 3 months doesn't change that. Isn't the high level DbD just knowing how to loop? Like, it doesn't matter if you know where the gens are/know how to do them or if you know how to find a survivor. If you can't loop/anti-loop, you are hosed. Everyone will just do gens will you loop someone and if you find someone else, they will loop you until gens are done. It may be that I just suck at the one part that the entire game revolve around but the fact the entire game revolve around knowing how to loop is a problem in and of itself. But then again, the game has been out since 2016 so it's probably been like that for a while. rydiafan posted:Killers are already abusing the vertical camp coding. Had a nurse hook me next to a hill and stand 3 inches away from me, but since she was "on a different floor" the meter didn't go up. The same could be said about player playing in group of 4, most certainly in vc, with the perk Made For This, Windows of Opportunity, Flashbang, Lithe & others peks with a flashlight. I'm pretty sure a lot of people abuse mechanics of the game and it probably doesn't matter if they are survivor or killer.

curiousTerminal posted:Balancing an asym has got to be hard as hell and I can't really fault the idea of giving the weaker team the ability to fight back against the power role, but it keeps getting hosed up in ways that make it clear nobody has learned from DbD's biggest mistake: The power role is stressful in a way the other side is not. The killer has to spin 5 or 6 plates at any given moment (gens, individual survivors, the broader game at large) and look out for signs of 16 perks. The survivors have to keep track of the killer, their 4 perks, and the gen spread and that's really it. Survivor is mechanically far less demanding at a base level, and they make up for this by not really having any real way to actively attack the killer. That's not to say there's nothing but every tool they have in their arsenal to fight back is going to get used. DS+UB+DH meta proving this by making all chases last extra long, forcing the killer into unwinnable "pickup and extend chase, slug and waste an entire gen's worth of time" situations, and generally allowing them to throw themselves at the killer over and over to force wasted time. I mean, in my opinion, it's the survival role who is stressful considering that if you get clapped too much by the killer, you are out of the game. Yeah, killer has to constantly look over the bigger picture and make sure to not pick any time-consuming chase but you never get put into a time-out zone the way survivor does. Then again, it might be just because I'm used to playing killer with my brain off and only really have to put an effort when I play against good player or lobby or bully squad (Which I will avoid because they are just annoying to deal with)... Yeah, forget I said anything, I just play weirdly.

I have ~100 hr into the game and want to say that I'm good at stabbing people and putting them on hook but I don't really tend to play fair nor in a healthy manner considering I just play in a way that give me the quickest hit of dopamine (Which include avoiding lobby of 4 people armed with some random tools) Anyhow, I gotta congratulate y'all for stayin consistent considering I'm really starting to get tired of this game.

Survivors are so loving in denial about their new toy after Dead Hard got taken from them, it's blatant. Wasn't the purpose of the game is to have the killer kill people? Isn't that the core premise of the game?

Tiny Myers posted:I'm glad someone else thinks so! I think something that is also interesting is the lore of Gabriel and all the colony. They themselves are limited to their own perception of reality. An unnamed society (That is idealized in the memory of the colony, despite having never existed and having a very vague definition of what it truly mean) gave them an identity fabricated from piece and told them "This is you". Gabriel Soma is not Gabriel Soma, he is what society need him to be. As such, it is extremely easy to link that back to queer/gender theme since a man is only a man if the society around him consider him a man. He could be in and of itself a man, but that would be a definition that exist outside of the label of a "man" and/or an identity created around pre-existing ideas... I could go deeper but all that to say that the Singularity being queer and/or trans does a lot of sense.

CuddleCryptid posted:Why does Mobile get fun modes and changes while PC struggles to get even special events? Is it just that they don't feel lashed to the idea of "competitive balance" on mobile as much? Maybe they have different team working on different version on the game, making it so that one can do a bit what they want since the majority of the playerbase seem to be console/PC?

Doomykins posted:Stop playing the imagined ideal game where everybody never uses anything that'll push you outside your comfort zone. Take off gen regression/survivor meta perks, toss on some chase/loop enhancers and practice the core of the game you enjoy. I guess you could also practice pure stealth/support bot on survivor, but if you don't like chase as killer... yeaahhh. So just force yourself into busting rear end on chase, don't show a shred of mercy, if they can't 5 gen against no slowdown that's their problem. What chasing perk do you use/recommand?

So after some mulling, I have decided to run a Lethal Pursuer/Nowhere to Hide/No One Escape Death/Awakened Awareness on Mastermind so that I always knows where people are in the Gens phase and I oneshot them when the Collapse is happening. So far, a good few games varying from 0 kills to a full party. Can't do full SWF team correctly yet but I'm getting there I think. Also note to self, try to use the Dash if a survivor is already hurt to avoid revealing NOED so that the surprise will still hurt.

Maybe I'm 5 years old but the repeated yelling is so loving funny to me and even makes me have more fun when I'm having a rough match. It's hard to be sour when the killer is shouting "DIPSHIT" at your teammates. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I DID GENERATOR! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HIT I TOOK?"

I think it's important to note that killer forcing 3 gens are, in my opinion, pretty rare due to the fact that you disregard every other aspect of the game, which you have to go out of your way to do and isn't assured to bring you victory. I mean, if you only have 2 survivors left, it's going to be hard for the killer to find the survivors if they just alternate between the generators.
