I do have to say starstruck is a perfect counter to the most annoying sort of survivor behavior, which is why I think it will be nerfed.

Ehh, I don't think body blocking is such a good strat that they'll nerf Starstruck since if the survivor is doing they're pretty much already committing to a mistake. I could be wrong, but usually some one trying to body block is just them giving you a free health state before you hook whoever. At most I imagine they'll reduce how long the Exposed effect lingers when the survivor is outside the TR.

It's a good strat if they can delay you enough that you drop their friend, which is what happens when a fully four or three man SWF team swarms you. So instead now with starstruck they all go down and DC. Had three games like that yesterday alone. It is great.

It's something you have to get a feel for, but once you realize you can't reach a hook you should drop whoever you're carrying and start a chase with some one body blocking you. I think survivors grunt something like 10 times before they can escape? At that point though you'll have at least three survivors doing nothing for a bit. If the whole squad's real aggressive about body blocking it can take a bit, but you'll whittle down their resources while they're busy not advancing the game.

Given the devs and their weird fascination with balancing the game around kill stats, I do get the feeling they'll look at all the survivors suicide rushing a Starstruck hook and go "Well poo poo *this* is killing a lot of people"

Here's my hot take: in a game where supernatural killers stalk scared survivors, there should NEVER be a situation where the survivor team intentionally crowds around the killer to body block them. If that is happening, the devs have failed. E: except possibly as a desperate last resort, knowing they will die but possibly for a greater cause. But not casually while teabagging around the sluggish killer. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Apr 6, 2021 |

Allowing the killer's M1 to injure multiple survivors in a small arc would be both sensible and would squash 80% of bully plays.

If you hang around during Starstruck you deserve to be downed. It's same as when you realize the killer isn't going to bite on your Borrowed Time. Just leave the area.

Meanwhile I was trying to do the archive involving hooking a lot of people in the basement, so I was using Doctor with Agitation. A Feng starts teabagging literally within 15 seconds of the match starting, I run her down, into the basement. Soon as I go away she's rescued, I come back and catch her teabagging on the stairs. She jumps into a locker. She is *the only obsession so far in this match*, so I'm like....k, I am totally fine with waiting on you for a full minute and taking my second basement hook. So I do wait it out, she comes out, smack. She disconnects Why are people like this

I wonder if it will be one miss and you're dead, or if it'll work like being in a cage where each miss reduces your timer. EDIT: They confirmed in a response that you'll lose a little bit of health each time you miss a skill check. The main downside of this is that you can't give up on hook immediately so that your friend can get the hatch. EDIT 2: vv Yeah, that response. I guess I should have refreshed before editing. rydiafan fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Apr 6, 2021 |

Huh, so you can't intentionally suicide on second phase now (at least not immediately)? That's a huge plus
|
# ? Apr 6, 2021 18:09 |

It's a plus except when you're the second to last survivor and the killer is barreling directly towards the hatch your friend is standing on.

It's also a bummer if you're playing with teammates who are dive-bombing to unsafe unhook you in front of the killer, who then slugs you, when you just desperately want out.

As someone that plays both survivor and killer, body blocking to get the injured death hook survivor out of the match is loving awesome. Hook body blocking isn't a super common problem and usually the value of the gained health states make it an okay trade (and if it's happening so often, start taking mad grit).

As someone who had to rebind struggle to mousewheel cause I kept loving up, and still lagged to death a few times while worrying vaguely about Future RSI trouble I was inviting the other times I am good with this change. Mashing sucks

Home Sweet Home's pace seems a bit too quick, or maybe the animations are just too fast. But the game seems kinda cool. Except for (or especially?) the GIANT COWBOY HATS. e: lol I take this back, this poo poo makes SWF sweat squads look fair and balanced.

His first game looked like if you booted up DbD then got blinded and pallet stunned for 75% of the game. gently caress that noise.

Also every survivor has sprint burst and the whole game is on fast-forward so you need the snap reflexes of a mongoose on crack.

I had my first game as the wraith and got one kill, I’ll take it. It seemed like the survivors were intentionally blowing skill checks on generators at one point, is that a strategy?

Only if the killer is Freddy, failing skillchecks wakes you up. Either they were bad or they were creatively trying to annoy you/each other

The maps are unfortunately chock full of areas that, even if you can technically catch up to a survivor eventually, will make you waste so much time doing so you'll lose half your gens for one down. You just have to learn which ones they are and abandon that survivor for having gotten to a safe zone. Notable ones are the house with the window and balcony on Haddonfield, and...well, pretty much the entirety of Gideon's. That map blows

Boy I wish I could end up in these games where the survivors are cleaning up gens instead of getting absolutely dragged by the killer and aimlessly wasting time. I've had games where I was the only player that finished a generator at all, or I've kept a killer busy for two minutes and nothing got done.

Man, on one hand you lose a lot playing adept killers, on the other you come out so much better at playing a killer by the time you're done meta perks start to feel like Leonidas' gear at the end of 300, heavy and weakening.

It's funny how big the difficulty gap between some of them is too. Leatherface? lol Legion? Not too bad. Plague has a rough time because of chaser with her power. Hag? You might as well expect to play perkless with all hexes. Nurse? Oh boy. Then survivor side of course you have David's adept.

Adept Killers are great since they get harder as you rank up - it requires a merciless victory instead of three or four kills. I do think the forum has gotten a little stuck on how good survivors can be, but escaping versus a merciless victory is night and day. Even Adept David or Lauri can luck out with a hatch or someone else looping. I'm back in the reds after a few months off of DBD and I do not know how I would've gotten any kills playing default kit Deathslinger or Pig.
