Farscape is actually pretty cool.
Started playing this game over the weekend. Absolutely hooked (heh). Just played a 40 minute game as Huntress. I'm a Rank 14 killer - only about 17 hours played. I'm not sure what map I was playing but there was a boat and in the middle there was a two story driftwood shack. Survivors got the first 3 gens very quickly and without incident while I managed to kill one. They get the 4th gen by just sticking right in front of me, I hook one but they get rescued. The 3 remaining unrepaired gens are basically in a short, straight line and I spend about 10 minutes pacing back and forth between them, harassing off any survivors I see. I get a few hits but no downs - they loop the gently caress out of me and I don't spend too much time chasing since they only had 1 gen left to do. They had two Feng Mins and one Meg.

After about 5 more minutes, the Meg AFKs behind a rock. I'm not sure if they just wanted to quit or what but I get the notification that they're standing still and ignore it for a bit since I think it's bait to get me away from my gen patrol duty. Eventually, I swing out to the AFK Meg and down her. The two Fengs let her die on the ground.

I then spent the next 20 minutes chasing these Fengs around my 3 gens. One continues to try to bait me with a chase, I try to get a hit but don't commit too hard and stay harassing/kicking my generators. I manage to down the other one but she gets rescued by her buddy while I'm trying to find her. At this point, they're both injured. A few minutes later, I nail an INCREDIBLE max range uphill hatchet on the baiter. Hooked, killed. 1v1. I find the hatch, kick it and win the coinflip on which gate the remaining survivor is heading to. She gets off the gate, I hit her with a hatchet and win the chase.

The baiting Feng is a Rank 1 survivor and her buddy is a Rank 10.

Easiest 4k of my life.

Played against a Myers last night who seemingly had permanent tier 3 and two iridescent add-ons that allowed him to mori everyone on the first hit. Seemed hosed!

sometimes I feel bad for letting a few teabags go in the gate when the killer throws a gg in chat afterwards.

but then other times I get facecamped on my first hook by a rank 9 killer and i'm reminded:

KILLERS ARE NOT TO BE RESPECTED

I leveled Meg then Bill and then David. We're Gonna Live Forever + Borrowed Time pretty much guarantees a safe hook rescue every time and the bloodpoints REALLY start rolling in as long as you're unhooking people.

Just wondering - how many hours do you have in the game?

I would answer, but I get the feeling you're not asking for any other reason than to go "you havent played enough, therefore your opinions are invalid" unless my hours are within several hundred of whatever yours are.

Not trying to bait you, I swear. I've only been playing the game for about a month but I found that my survivor play got WAY better once I put in some time as killer.

I love playing against hag because she can scare me.

Yeah I was trying to think of a way to word it but she's the only killer that can elicit somewhat regular jump scares.

I like playing 5 man co-op with my 4 survivor pals who burn party streamers.

I want to like Legion but after three matches in a row on Cowshed and getting absolutely embarassed vs red and purple ranks, I think I'm just gonna dump points into him to get the Discordance teachable and play other killers. I ate SOOO many pallets.

Let me pay like 150k blood points to access a teachable I already have unlocked. I literally only had 5 killer teachables unlocked and I didn't get BBQ to show up until level 36 when I was leveling Clown.

This is probably going to sound "duh, idiot" to some but since I'm newer is there a way as a Killer to not be a douche and let people maximize points without you getting screwed in the process? I'm all about playing the game, but I don't want people wasting this time any more than I want to waste this time.

Try not to camp hooks and tunnel too much mostly. I like carrying the last survivor to the hatch if they're on PC lol

Survivors deserve less than 0 respect. Hooks are too good for them.

I mean if I'm being swarmed around a hook by the remaining survivors, I'm absolutely gonna slug a few

EDIT: looking at the life bars, it sure looks like the survivors went down pretty quick one after another. gotta give the killer some space lol

Is there usually a dip in the player population immediately after the anniversary? Because jesus, going back to 10-20k bloodpoint games is going to feel baaaad.

I like watching DBD streams but there's a lot of crap out there. I watch some killers, especially killers who play as 'weaker' survivors (love watching Lefty for example). I also like killer streams if I am looking to learn a new killer (Otz has good content for this). Watching streamers play solo survivor is more interesting to me, but I don't really enjoy watching people play SWF. The problem is a lot of solo survivor streamers (like Angry Pug for example) have awful attitudes and seem to be kinda lovely, generally. Sometimes I put their streams on, on mute :v:

Angry Pug is such a toxic piece of trash that I find myself actively rooting for the killers in his matches.

Slinger's such a fun guy. Survivor decided to t-bag the open hatch while injured. This here railgun's got something to say about that.

Why is it always flashlight and teabagging complaints? It’s not even a thing that matters and it’s all survivors have in their arsenal. In a pie chart of how to troll in dbd, killers have like 75% of the tools.

Getting taunted mid-game seems like something that most people would get at least a little irked at.

To be fair, NOED does feel like poo poo.

Edit: like I feel a killer should do more to earn a 1 hit down than just "lose the game".
