Dead by Daylight - Asymmetric slasher game with autistic and entitled community.

If the flashbangs do anything at all.

They're theoretically best against Wraith because they stun and de-cloak him without him even having to look at it necessarily. Other killers who knows, a lot of people seem to be naturally gifted at just looking the perfect angle away to avoid blindness, but I also haven't been taking stock of how many killers are running Lightborn to just say "fuck it" to the two new blinding perks.

I think I'm also gonna take a break, been having a bunch of sweaty games lately, the RE chapter has been a huge disappointment in pretty much every way and I'd rather devote my attention to other hobbies and/or games in the meantime.

The framerate problem is definitely not helping for me.

Note to self: use up all the Tombstone Pieces on Myers before October. There's no doubt in my mind that the devs are going to do the Haddonfield rework to coincide with new Halloween cosmetics in October. Why else hold back in fixing the most notoriously busted survivor sided map? And in doing so will come the Myers rework. And you just know... You just... Fucking... Know... the Tombstone Piece addon is in their line of sight to be nuked. It's nuts that the addon has existed for so long unchanged but since the devs are hellbent that killers absolutely positively cannot have an addon that counters exhaustion perks then it's a guarantee that Tombstone Piece will get nerfed. The Ultra Rare's might be left alone but who knows?

And honestly I would be okay with it IF they buffed him by giving him 110% movement speed when in EW 1. He could still have a shitty lunge and be immune to Bloodlust while in EW 1 but FFS just buff his movement speed so you can't be mindlessly looped around the dumbest of obstacles.

As it turns out you should probably bank a lot of bloodpoints before you prestige.

I did it as Legion and got into a match with like literally one talent. Whatever, let's see how this goes. Oh, nice, apparently they match you with morons after you prestige. Merciless Killer.

Check their ranks after the game to see what newbie hell I've ended up in. They're all red. Well that was a bit embarrassing for them I guess.

I feel as if the best addons for Nemesis are the wristbands and the stealth one.

Game Result: Escaped Dead By Daylight
Never look back fren

I don't have the new DLC but I did have some pretty funny matches against Nemesis while catching up on rift challenges. I got jumpscared by a zombie lunging from inside the doorway of the killer shack at the precise moment I turned the camera to run into it, startled me more than any Hag or Scratched Mirror Myers encounter. Later I came back after the gate was open to waste the god palette crushing it to death purely out of spite. Also had a match where I was running Bond and looked over to see the aura of one of my solo queue teammates aggressively teabagging a zombie that was stuck on the other side of a window for 30 seconds.

Speaking of, I did the new tutorial for the free bloodpoints and I swear the bot Jake teabagged me before vaulting a window into a trap. It's scary how advanced AI is becoming at mimicking human behavior.

I doubt I'll quit cold turkey, unless they drastically nerf killers even more somehow I'll probably come back in a few months.

yellow wristband and Marvin's blood are the best (bigger detection range and faster mutation upon hitting survivors)

I'm really disappointed with Nem in terms of perk synergy: there's nothing particularly special that uniquely works with his power. STBFL is the only one for obvious reasons but that means not using your power for majority of the match

there are things I like about Nem, but overall I thinks he sucks especially considering he's a fucking anniversary killer. I think infection hits shouldn't give a speed boost (especially one that seems bigger than regular hit speed boost) and there should be at least 4 zombies on the map, not fucking 2. Also RPD sucks balls from what I've seen

I've never tried letting them escape to see if they'd teabag you at the exit gate, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

The bot AI is actually... not that bad, which is surprising considering how janky the rest of the game is.

The shitty part is that when you play the tutorial you can only use Trapper. That and there's a bug that resets everything once you play any of the tutorials and you have to re-select all of your cosmetics, addons, charms, and perks for every single killer/survivor.

I like Nemesis but he could use some buffs. Increasing the range of the tentacle strike would be good. Taking away the sprint burst when survivors are first contaminated is a highly requested buff. One I would like to see, but I doubt they will do it, is a command feature where you can order the zombies to stay at a certain spot. That would help in countering looping and protecting gens/gates.

I will say that you don't really need BBQ on Nemesis aside from getting BP because the zombies tend to give you good info as to where they are.

Yeah I'd love to be able to select any killer, since I'm so high ranked now that trying out anyone new and leveling them up would just result in me getting teabagged endlessly.

If they allowed you to play a few bot games with them and gave you enough blood points to get them to level 15 or so it would be a nice addition to the game.

Hotfix is out. Why always Tuesdays? I dunno. They re-enabled the Resident Evil map (custom match only), disabled the ragequit punishment system, and are still "investigating" performance issues.

I have been using Lightborn recently because I keep staggering into lobbies with two or more flashlights. These dumb SWF squads keep going for flashlight bullying and I look in all directions to act like I'm scared even though I'm immune so they keep trying. Sometimes I even whiff an M1 just so they think it's working.

I find those 4Ks hilarious.

I like using Light Chassis with Leatherface against flashlight squads because when you down someone there will be a guy hiding right there waiting to get his flashlight save and you can catch them off guard and shove the chainsaw right up their fucking ass.

• Fixed an issue that could cause some unbreakable outfits to be breakable.

I guess BHVR really doesn´t want people to break their 10$ outfits.

P.S. Nemesis gained Objective points for contaminating survivors, how did that even work?

 

[Ash97]

Players may encounter the RPD map in ranked matches

You know, as opposed to them famous unranked DBD matches, smh

I realized as I was typing this that they meant custom games being the opposite, but that's not how it works, the opposite of ranked always was and probably will be casual matches (which DBD fucking lacks)

That's like if a fighting game lacked casual online and the devs would identify offline versus as the opposite of ranked. Poor choice of words that highlights the lack of casual mode.

Just... Fuck you, Bhvr. Fuck you from the bottom of my heart. For that and many many other things I'm so sick of in regards to this garbage game

Almost any online service game for the past 20 years had done their maintenance and patches on tuesdays. SWG & all of Sony's MMOs before splintering off, City of Heroes, WoW(all Blizzard games really), etc. I always wish it had been staggered so that I could play one series while the other was down, but Tuesday mornings have been a gamer flagellation session for a long time. I've often suspected it has something to do with data center policies, but never looked deeply into it.

I've put some more time into Blast Mine and it continues to be fun. As long as I am not the Lethal Pursuer target from the get-go, I usually get a minimum of two mines deployed and triggered by the killer. You can mine a generator afflicted by Hex: Ruin, and if you back off the gen the Ruin regression does not activate the trap, nor does it allow the killer to kick. Seems like a waste unless you know someone's going to disable the hex in the next few seconds, but it does still mark the gen with a yellow aura to all survivors so it has some minor value in an indoor map like Lery's or Hawkins to just make a gen visible that survivors may not have found yet. Killers seem pretty good about kicking a gen first if you're soloing it, mining seems like a waste if you're doing it co-op because they often won't kick first with two targets to chase. The best way to get the mine value is hide behind the gen(which a high rank killer will almost always see clues or movement regardless) so they'll kick first thinking you're an easy hit hider, which then gives you the blind and a head start to bolt past them or mindgame in some way. Some killers just never kick gens unless they have nothing else to do, or wait until after the chase so it may not happen every game. It's much more likely in the final 3 gen scenario, especially if the gens are spaced out and there's 3-4 survivors still alive. Finally I've confirmed with a killer using Lightborn that the mine still stuns, but they can see what's going on if you're in the field of view, so keep that in mind.

I feel like Blast Mine is practical enough for most people to try out, and the more people using it, the more of a nuisance it is to killers when working gens. It should rate along most of the other situational things like totem finder perks or some exhaustion perks, but doesn't quite rate in the "Try Hard" tier yet like Dead Hard or Decisive Strike/Borrowed Time. Which are all open to skillcheck fuck-ups or killers playing around them anyways, go try sliding it in when you get the chance.

McCote speaking.

"Sorry but it seems like someone on NE lost it´s way to us and thought we had modes such as Quick Match, Rank Match or Duo Hunters"

"Just to be clear with that tweet, there are no new modes coming to DbD"

I was going to react with something, but nothing quite describes my feelings. It's not 'horrifying', just disappointing

It´s like comparing two playgrounds.

one has a swing, slide and this motherfucker which is a deathtrap when someone keeps spinning.

while the other is just
