I installed Dead by Daylight. Have I made a huge mistake? What should I know before trying to play it?

I did the tutorials. They don't teach a lot, do they? Where should I go next to learn what the gently caress?

Sales have started. All the characters are -50% in the in-game store (Silent Hill characters -20%), but not in the Steam DLC store. BUT! All the DLC, and the base game, are at least 50% off in the Humble Store, and they give Steam keys. I'm thinking of getting Leatherface for the Grilling and Chili perk, and Pyramidhead because... well, Pyramidhead. But just Pyramidhead is only 400 in-game things (4€) vs. 5,59€ for the Silent Hill pack. Is Cheryl worth 1,59€?

As an aside is there any way to turn that off? These are the saltiest, most toxic motherfuckers I've seen in a game and I could do without racist and homophobic abuse after ~most games.

Would there be any interest in putting together Kill Your Friends games among goons? It might be nice to have a chance for some chiller games, to play some non-meta killers etc.

Babe Magnet posted:this game looks dope, how well would you guys say it's help up over the years? Once a sale happens again I'll probably end up getting it, but I'm only really interested in playing Guy Who's Legally Not Ghostface, but is Instead Wearing the Same Mask Ghostface Does in "Scream". A sale is happening right now. The basic game is -60% on Humble Store (you get a Steam key), and the DLC is ~50% off there as well. There's also a sale on PS4 going right now, I guess.

I bought Leatherface. I might buy Clown, seeing as he's apparently the next killer getting buffed and I love the idea of a killer clown.

Oh boy I have basically no idea what I'm supposed to do as a killer, but I guess chainsawing people and hanging them from dirty meat hooks is still fun.

I did not previously realize that add-ons etc are consumable. E: fun moment in my last game, I managed to chainsaw run two survivors down RIGHT at the exit line with one sweep. Of course I could only carry one off to the hooks while the other crawled over the finish line, but that was still a pretty cool horror movie moment.

Fun times. Co-oping with a friend, and we ran into a pair of red rank survivors, who rage quit the game the first time one of them got hooked. That game didn't go so well.

Had a Leatherface game where I killed three survivors fairly easily, then found and slammed the hatch shut. Found the final girl, chainsawed her to the ground and started taking her to the hook. But she struggled free! So I figured this lady's got spunk, I'll let her get away because why not? I stood by "chasing" her as she opened the exit, then chainsaw chased her to the exit for the movie finish to set up the sequel. And after the game the scrub I'd murdered at the beginning of the game was poo poo talking me in chat for missing an easy kill on the last survivor, except with a lot more hate speech thrown in.

Huh I thought I had to hold down the chainsaw button or he'd stop the run halfway through. I wish there was a practise mode so I could just play around with the controls.

I have no idea what's going on with sales. The in-game sale and the Humble Store sale have been going for days now, and Steam's sale was supposed to start yesterday. But it got Twitter postponed to the 29th. So I just bought the Silent Hill pack from Humble Store.

Hell yes, Perfect Killing with Leatherface yesterday  GGs exchanged with three survivors after the game, but one spent several minutes bitching at me because I had the nerve to circle back after he was freed from a hook to chainsaw him down and hook him again (this time in the basement).

Boba Pearl posted:I have never kicked a gen before. Is it useful? Yes. It breaks the generator down and sets it to regressing, which actively hinders survivors. E: to elaborate a bit, since the survivors' objective is to repair generators, it is very useful to go and kick them, take away some of their progress, and keep draining that progress away until they come back to repair it again. It puts a lot of pressure on survivors. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Nov 1, 2020 |

Sure, I'm not saying go out of your way to kick a generator at all costs, but those .25 charges do add up especially if they're ticking away on several generators at once. E: but yes for the killer DBD is a resource management game, where the resource is time, so every situation does probably need to be evaluated at the time.

dialhforhero posted:Since the sale is still going, is there a premium killer that is worth buying? I really like Leatherface. He has a similar style to Hillbilly but his chainsaw works quite differently and is IMO more comfortable to use. As others have mentioned, BBQ & Chili is also an extremely good perk to have. Pyramid Head is a lot of fun too.

It's also worth noting that Clown (who is currently notable mostly for having the Pop Goes the Weasel perk which is real good) is going to get reworked and buffed in the near future, so if you're at all interested in that wheezy fella, now might be a good time to buy him.

Well this is interesting. For the past few days I get booted out of the game after a few minutes with a message saying EAC has detected one of my files has been altered (some .PAK file), and I should scan my local files in Steam to fix them. I do, nothing is reported as a problem, and still I keep getting booted. Anyone encountered anything like this?

The Berzerker posted:I did have something like that happen before and I read a solution somewhere online that if you delete some files (like perk icons or something easy to locate) and then "verify game files" in steam it will sort itself out. Thanks, this seems to have done the trick! I deleted some random .pak, checked the game and two files failed to verify. Prior to deletion everything supposedly verified. And now I'm not getting booted anymore!

PMush Perfect posted:Short version: Leatherface's DLC, then whatever looks cool. Leatherface is still my favourite killer in the game, so I second this. He also has a very very useful perk for new (and experienced) players, Barbeque & Chili, which massively boosts your XP gains.

I haven't had time to play much recently, but I noticed I have the deluxe edition on PS5, so I might as well check that out. Clown was apparently buffed recently finally, did that change things? I'm trying to decide between buying him and Oni. E: already got Leatherface for BBQ & Chili.

Turns out that while I was taking a break from the game, people got loving SAVAGE. Both my killer games tonight weren't even close and the survivors worked together so well that I'm pretty sure they were all in a group. Did ranks get reset recently or something, because I would not expect this kind of savagery from rank 19 survivors!

I had a group of insanely aggro survivors the other night. One guy was constantly hovering around me with a flashlight and every time I hooked someone, they were immediately unhooking them before I'd even left. They knew the animation timings, they knew that a PS5 player wasn't going to have amazingly accurate aim. They were also a lot better at the game than I am, so they got all five generators fairly easily. The biggest rear end in a top hat of them decided to go on a teabagging spree by the exit, but he didn't appreciate just how quickly Oni can move or maybe he was just a bit further away from the exit than he thought, so I smashed him into a pulp inches from the exit. Then I hooked him, and made drat sure to watch him until he died. You want to be a jerk, let's be jerks! (three of them, clearly in a group together, were rank 5 and 6, with one poor confused survivor being rank 18 and I was rank 20. I can't help but feel that this isn't a great system  )

Cease to Hope posted:this is a popular way to smurf as a SWF group btw Oh well that explains it. But man what a crappy matchmaker, you'd think they'd just shove the rank 18 smurf into rank 5 matchmaking instead of the other way around.

People on Reddit are saying the sweaty 3+1 SFW groups are mostly a PC problem and playing on consoles is generally a chiller experience. Now, seeing as I am playing on a PS5 these days, would toggling cross-platform matchmaking off just doom me to playing with 3 people forever, or might it be a good idea? Or is it even an option that exists outside my vague memories?

Oh I definitely suck. I haven't played in six months, and I didn't play a lot back then either. Which is kinda why it'd be nice to play against teams who aren't doing 720 yolo no-scope headshot ollies on me all the time.

Hmm, three players with a | FRONTLINES | tag in front of their names, I'm sure that bodes well! Someone disconnected during the load so we'll never get to find out, but considering three of them were loaded up with purple loot in the post match screen, I'm sure it would've been an experience for my level 1 Trapper.

I don't hate playing Leatherface because he is one of my favourite killers, but it'd be nice to get him to level 30 so I could start fishing for Barbeque and Chili on other killers and play them as well.

It runs great on a PS5 and due to crossplay the community is healthy. You can’t bring anything over from the PC version so it’s rebuy time! And the updates happen at the same time on all versions.
