Studio posted: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.

The other issue is that devout has been bugged for a while now and you can't get iri on it without a 4k even with 10-11 hooks.

I just got adept with him after trying like 3 matches in green/purple, base windstorm and powerful add-ons make it a lot simpler, appearance reduction and silent bell are so powerful. Trying to adept trapper rn and its still easier feeling than Myers.

I've just started playing dead by daylight, and I'm having a really rough time as a survivor. I know things will get better as I unlock more perks and learn the map, but this game's learning curve is something else.

End game chat censorship is so weird. Just played against a Scratched Mirror Myers on Lerys. Tried to have a nice talk afterwards and when I said I always love playing against Scratched Mirror Myers, "Myers" was censored. I tried to explain "You can say Michael, but his last name is censored" and it literally censored out the phrase "his last name".

I'm just getting started as a killer. It's at trip to see people at lowly level 18 like me but they're decked out in purple everything and clearly play well. That said, my steady diet on Otzdarva videos over the past year gave me a lot of fundamentals. I absorbed a lot before I ever bought the game. My mechanics are super weak and my desperate attempt to play nurse for some challenge was laughable. I'm just going to give up on those things and just play fundamentals for a while. I'm feeling pretty good even when not doing well though. Celebrate if I hook anyone, if not, enjoy if I get a hit or two in. Surprised by how much fun Trapper was when someone stepped on my rando traps. Then I started to steer them toward them and you could see the appeal.

I'm a dumb idiot and just say little things pre-game sometimes, "benis" is censored, spacing the characters censors it, I think even ben is was censored lmao, I had to type out like beee n is for it to take. Also new survivors, one thing to learn is that if you're at a loop with a pallet and all, if the killer starts playing the middle point dance and trying to come around to whatever side you're angling, that's actually a mostly good thing, he's wasting time and as long as you keep mirroring him you're safe for at least a whole loop usually even if he gets the first speed up, you wanna try and get the most out of every loop, when possible, don't throw the pallet down immediately if he's coming at you, make him do a loop or two as safe enough for the distance, then drop it and make for the next spot you can guess or see. Being chased is all about wasting the most time or until he breaks from you for objectives again. Yardbomb fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Apr 8, 2021 |

I tried playing Nurse once because the only killer tome missions I have open are Nurse missions (hit survivors 4 times right after blinking and down 6 survivors with the Stridor perk). I figured how hard can it be? Down six survivors? Pffft, easy. I downed one guy. One. And got five-genned. quote:I'm feeling pretty good even when not doing well though.

Sometimes in horror movies people survive for the sequel, it happens. It's just fun stalking people. Plus the way the game frames it at the end, like "match result: brutal killer" etc, it doesn't feel like anyone really wins or loses. Just a horror story played out. The only time I mind is when the survivors are just mean-spirited dickheads. Why do you have to be like that? Let's just play the game and have fun, nobody needs to be jerk about it.

The true horror all along was bad manners. I picked this up on sale over the weekend for PC after messing around with the PS4 version I got free at some point a while back and have been playing exclusively killer. I definitely vibe with the “just do what you can and have a good time” angle. I play a lot of Leatherface right now since he’s my only killer so far with purple BBQ and Chili as I use him to gather BP for some of the others and I love to intentionally slam my chainsaw into the exit gate when the last survivor(s) run through it so I can throw an appropriate Massacre-ending tantrum dance. Any game where I get even one sacrifice feels like a good time, and I’ve had enough 4k games to have a great time now and again too. I also pretty much hate playing as Nurse right now, but I did discover just how fun she can be in the Silent Hill level since she can just zap up and down between the floors. That helped immensely for me to get through her two challenges on the first page of the Tome.

When you hit that point where playing Nurse all clicks together, it feels like playing a whole new game, people get scared again when a good Nurse happens

I figured how hard can it be? Down six survivors? Pffft, easy. Just for future reference, the perk objectives generally aren't killer locked. That means once you level the killer enough to buy the teachable and start getting them in other killers' bloodwebs, you can just take a killer you're more comfortable with and roll with that. Like for Nurse, I got the blink cheeves but lol if you think I could get Thanatophobia + all 4 survivors injured simultaneously on her. I just played Legion with Thanatophobia and got it easy-peasy.

At least that was my approach

They would of course also nerf the one thing he was kind of good at, baiting people into getting dodge happy with knives and then M1 smacking them. Meanwhile I'm doing the archive for three Iri Malicious emblems. Figured I'd go easy mode and use Discordance Spirit. 4K (two gen grabs), emblem barely achieves gold

DeathChicken posted:They would of course also nerf the one thing he was kind of good at, baiting people into getting dodge happy with knives and then M1 smacking them. eh, if he's as consistent at placing knives as it sounds like, then I think rewarding survivors who can read the killer well enough to dodge knives at close range will make him more fun to play against, and encouraging that play from survivors rewards tricksters that can manage being too difficult to read. in theory, I think it's fine. but of course we'll have to see how it works out in practice

It'd be a lot nicer if his power, which already requires 8 hits to damage someone, didn't have a decay on it at all (like, would require a heal check to remove instead) but this is at least something.

If his knives are actually threatening now, then readying your knives is going to have the same effect as Huntress readying a hatchet - people will start preemptively maneuvering to dodge them. Also Maliciousness is partly gained based on hitting the survivors, so gen grabs actually prolly hurt your ability to get Iri maliciousness. I'm not even sure if a grab counts as a hit for Maliciousness purposes, but I'm gonna bet if it does then it only counts as one for grabbing a healthy survivor.

Watched a video where somebody has an interesting idea on laceration decay. I'm 100% certain that decay is in there so that you can't get everybody to seven knives and then quickly injure and down everybody. That makes sense, but decay existing makes it so that the trickster can't pressure multiple people without wasting all the time they spend hitting the first person seven times. The video I just watched had the suggestion that if you had hit somebody one to three times they would decay down to zero, but if you'd hit somebody four or more times they would decay down to four. It's a good balance where you don't lose everything on an escape, but you also can't abuse the lack of any decay at all.

Does laceration interact with the first aid kit in anyway? I was thinking if laceration didn't decay, but could be healed off with a kit, one meter (durability) for another (laceration) that could be interesting. Survivor has to think "I've got this kit, do I use it to clean the meter so he can't drop me so fast next time he sees me, or wait until he drops me to wounded and then get away to use the kit and get back to healthy, because I don't have enough kit to do both."

Aww, I feel bad. I had killed three survivors as Bubba while they'd done one generator. I found the last one, they stopped running and started shaking their head. I figured I'll chainsaw them down to complete my daily ritual, then take them to the door, open the door and carry them out. But I couldn't open the door. So the end result was some poor rank 20 puppy getting killed when I was trying to throw them a bone

They'll eventually get back on their feet. Alternatively, you can look for the hatch and drop them there. They'll be able to exit via the hatch while in the Dying state.

Oh no, in my most recent Leatherface game I spawned very close to a survivor and saw them almost immediately. Chainsawed them down, hooked them... and nobody turned up to rescue them. So that poor person died after like 10 seconds of gameplay and finished the round with 200 blood points. On the upside that did get me teachable BBQ & Chili so now I can play more Oni. Next game: four survivors in a group together, all with Russian names, three with toolboxes, one with a medkit. Yep, I ain't playing that round. I'm not a big fan of queue dodging but loving christ life is too short for that poo poo. E: next game, four man SWF sweat squad who were a bit too cocky and could have escaped with 1 fatality, but decided to be assholes and ended up getting three of them killed while the gates were open.

I had back to back games yesterday, one was three rank 1s (one was a streamer not notable enough to be famous but enough so I recognized their name). They ate my Spirit alive, the streamer was clicking a flashlight. Next game I went Jumpscare Myers on Midwich, everyone roughly around my level. One DCed, the other three got cocky when they realized I couldn't really chase them. Downed one just before the gates, the other two ran into Blood Warden. Whoops Literally the first time I've gotten that stupid perk to work

It makes me laugh how much people make Blood Warden an excuse. When it works it's the most huge kick in the pants, but like how many people actually run fun things like that, opposed to the same old stuff that always does something.
