I don't understand how this game can be so old and yet they have not dealt with the bloodpoint requirements issue. I am not going to put hundreds of hours into your game, maybe 100 if you're lucky, make bloodpoints wildly easier to get or lower the cost of everything by 50%.

It's purposefully built that way to inspire hobby level play, where it's your 'main' game. Among other reasons, probably.

DLC never carries bloodpoints. You don't compulsively need every perk to function. Any survivor and killer can make a good starter set out of their innate 3 and perks. Don't actually P3 unless you absolutely need that cosmetic for your look. The grind is still bullshit.

Does the DLC even come with Bloodpoints? I ended up buying pretty much anythign and don't remember getting bloodpoints with any purchases.

You can't buy bloodpoints for real money, unless you wanna do some weird math about how you get shards and turn them into BP. Like yes, the grind is loving terrible and unequivocally the worst part of the game as they start to actually change and rework bad old parts, but no.

P3 everyone and everything. You get extremely slight boosts to your addon rarity, which is obviously the most important game changing thing. BP costs are loving dumb, yeah, and they need to just eliminate the first two tiers of all perks because they're not even balancing poo poo around them, but you should feel comfortable playing your character without the best most meta build. If you aren't then that's usually a sign you need more focused practice than you need the top perks.

It seems like you either SWF4x or you solo queue, me and a compadre did like 4+ matches where we got queued with loving terrible, or selfish assholes hiding in lockers, or just not doing gens. It really sucked the wind out of the playing experience.

One of the DBD guys I like to watch had the most odd game where he was playing Doctor and the survivors were all David, two each of the shirtless skins. Three of them had TTV or something like that in their handle. They might have been SWF but it was more like they were all doing some weird bit that the Doc just had no time for because he wanted to play the video game.

Got back into this with the res evil update and I'm loving Nemesis. There's something really satisfying about infecting a survivor as they vault to the lower floor on a map and a zombie to hit them the second they touch down, downing them for me.

Tunneling killers are bad enough, watching the killer tunnel you while your teammates are looking through chests and taking down dull bones just salts the wound when you die on first hook. I didn't even know it was possible to get iridescent evader while dying first with only 2 gens done You gotta learn to deal with it and leave matches by hook or gate. I kinda miss low rank dumb matches because that's where I get to interact with killers. At high ranks, its sweat for 5 minutes and hope you aren't the last hook.

I didn't even know it was possible to get iridescent evader while dying first with only 2 gens done I have over 500 hours played according to Steam across both killer and solo-Q survivor, and crappy survivor time management is the cause of pretty much 95% of my survivor deaths. I always run either Kindred or Bond to keep a track of what the other survivors are up to and it's not even dull totems or chests that are the problem, it's the part where "hiding in a bush watching the killer chase someone else" always beats out gen-touching for time spent. The biggest skill-jump for newbies isn't even about good looping or anything IMO, it's just internalizing the facts that (1) there's only one killer player in the game, and (2) that killer can only do one thing at a time. Is the killer chasing/hooking someone somewhere, something survivors can usually tell just from watching the status indicators change on their HUD? Then the killer can't ALSO chase you off a gen or stop you from unhooking/healing someone, can they? And yet I can loop the killer for minutes without a single gen popping, and the person I unhook will run halfway across the map before letting me heal them as if the killer is going to drop an active chase to come check the hook and see if we're still there. Aside from Kindred, if you're getting really tilted by solo-queue I'd recommend running Spine Chill. If you keep getting killer aggro from being the only person actually doing your job, you might as well run the perk that lets you just bail before the killer gets there.

Yeah, the biggest advice I always give new survivor players is to stop playing scared of the killer. That's the moment you start getting better at the game. Hiding in a bush gets you better at hiding in a bush. Getting chased actually develops your skills in learning routes, looping, mind-gaming, etc. - generally speaking survivors at lower ranks need to play more aggressively, either to put pressure on the killer to just get better at the game. (Note: getting so aggressive that you take hits for no reason and chase the killer around clicking a flashlight is not what I mean) e: that and you should play a bit as killer to understand their FOV and other constraints. So many baby survivors run behind a tree at the edge of the map and are then surprised to be found, not understanding what scratch marks are etc., it's kind of wild.

Your teammates were probably not being malicious and assumed someone else was going for the hook. I definitely agree that Kindred will help with that.

As a killer the game loses some of it's appeal as a boogey-man simulator when this skill level is reached, survivors will clown around you with zero mortal fear. But that simply means you're able to beat the fear back into experienced and hardened players, a different kind of fun.

Yeah, it's an inverted bell curve of feeling like a badass playing killer. Low level they're all scared of you, mid level they bully you, then you get good enough to bully the bullies and you feel like this: https://youtu.be/5U8scp5J9Is

I'm getting slightly better on both sides of the fence, but I think I still prefer killer for solo play. I did really, really bag with survivor yesterday and it's depressing getting less than 10k points per match when I can go grab Bubba or Pyramid Head and get 20k minimum as long as I get a hook or two.

speaking of bloodpoints, I find the dailies really frustrating - if there's 4 times as many survivors in a match as killers, why do the dailies feel 50/50 survivor/killer? Killer queues are already murderous and the dailies just make it worse.

I like that the killer rituals range from "Hit 3 survivors with your basic attack" to "Hook all 4 survivors 3 times in one match while there is a blood moon and the temperature is between 72 and 75 degrees"

The ratio to me feels much more like 4 or 5 killer dailies to one survivor daily. I'm currently sitting on a Yahtzee of Blight dailies to unload on next time I log in, while I think the last time I saw a Survivor-related daily is something like two weeks ago.

Yeah, all killer dailies today. Also tonight has been miserable. Lots of people dc'ing. I want to play the game but either I'm the one getting tunneled out of the game/fed to the killer inside of one minute of play, or my teammates are leaving the game and giving me nothing to work with.

I just played my very first game! I was the killer, and didn't do well at all. Then I was called a gay rear end loser and told to kill my self in the postgame chat. Solid game, would play again (which I did)!

I get killer rituals all the time when I barely play killer. I've thought that rituals are preset and it rolls out challenges until they are filled. I get a bunch of killers ones then bunch of survivor ones. But it skews killer.

As a killer main, the matches since the update have been absolute horseshit. Queues take forever, survivors are DC'ing like crazy and they hosed Franklin's which was one of my favorite perks.

Against anything except keys new Franklin's is strictly better. It starts draining charges instantly, so anything they pick back up has been screwed, and anything that stays on the ground long enough that old Franklin's would have deleted it will be empty anyway.
