Is there a better feeling in vidya that winning solo against a premade?

Man the "Pro" players in Dead By Daylight are the biggest babies in video games. They have all sorts of unwritten rules they expect the killers to play by like killers don't already have a huge handicap and if you break any of em they serve up some spicy hatemail.

Last time I played I had a total party kill as trapper and got some fuckboy complaining about "tunneling", whatever that is. All I hear is kids getting mad that they couldn't cheese me out with flashlights and pallet hopping.

>camp a hanged survivor

>cheese faggot

It only makes it more fun as a killer main honestly. I legit don't even care if i win. Every second i am being an annoying cunt to survivor main elitists is time well spent AND I GODDAMN ENJOY EVERY SECOND OF IT!

T. Huntress/Clown main.

>>15413939

Also pallett hopping along with vaccuming really got ironed out with 2.0 So juking is their new go to.

I'm interested in how the new Onryo inspired ring/ju-on killer waifu with her roaming out of body total stealth mechanic will be seen as "totally unfair".

>>15413952

Admittedly I garner IMMENSE satisfaction knowing how upset simply standing in the way of their bloodpoints and pips makes them.

Can killers close hatches yet? That will be icing on the asspain cake.

>>15413816

omg noob camper etc

>>15413974

There is a new killer coming called The Spirit. She is a japanese onryo woman. Her ability is to leave her body, move around as a stealthed spirit at super speed then pop back into reality, whoop there goes gravity, in the spirits place.

Which really makes you think of some fun fuckery around the hatch phase. Just imagine standing still on the hatch making someone think you are in spirit mode flying around like an afk mmo player or something and you let them walk right up to you.

The most recent game of Supreme Commander: FAF that I played was pretty nice. We were 2 v 3 on burial mounds. My partner and I took an early lead but two of the enemy teams expanded across the river rapidly to take our flanks and the third guy teched up and took most of the mass points on their side of the river. We fought off the land forces and managed to tech up but we were far behind the guy on the opposite shore who had so much income it was crazy. The team of three started pushing our front lines further and further back until my partner and I only held the middle two plateaus and the far back corner (where we stuffed our t3 economy). It became a God damn trench war, with my partner getting blasted by so many cruise missiles that his flak could hardly keep up. Then the nuking started. The mother fucked on the other side built three nuke and started shelling my partners mexs, depleting his anti nukes. As the game went on and we began to finally push the other two back to the sea, the nuke dude built up to 8 nuclear missile launchers and eventually blasted through my partner's base. His loss of Mex points was devastating to his eco, and he had to pull back to the corner to rebuild some if it. He had like 3 soul rippers and some ASFs, but that was it. Next thing I know, two fat men, a czar, a monkey Lord, and an assist of nukes are falling on my forward position. Luckily, UEF shields are God tier and I was able to fend off the first few waves, giving my partner time to recover, push out to some Mex points, and get air superiority on our side of the map. My base fell as we launched a huge air assault drop onto the nuke guy's t3 eco while I supported with long range artillery. Our last remaining base was getting beaten on like a drum when we chain reacted the nuke dude, and beat him. We were then able to flank and shell the other two while their army production was on our side of the map. It was a real come from behind victory and I really thought we were dead when nuke after nuke was dropping out of the sky on our base faster than we could build anti nukes.

We all have a Only in Battlefield™ moment so I will share mine:

>Conquest on either Karkand or Sharqi

>Bottleneck at a point, enemies flowing from every direction, back and forth with no change in flow.

>Run off from the action and circle around a building near the point

>Turn around a corner and see a group of about six people camping near a chokepoint "those fuckers"

>Unload the whole clip via spray and pray because they were on top of each other

>Laugh as the points roll in

Got some good ol fashioned Xbox Live hate messages, but hey at least I played the fucking objective and didn't wait for kills. Vid related.

>>15414103

I wonder if xbone games have the same shitkids going platinum tier buttmad or did they all move on to ps4 with muh cawadoody?

>>15414112

Oh trust me as long as online multiplayer still stands there are going to be shitkids. Played some BF4 on my friends PS4 and just went on a .44 Magnum spree, got kicked from the server. The nerve.

>>15414123

You think thats rustle worthy?

>>15414157

I always knew siege was a messy toxic place when it comes to pub matches, but damn that is quite messy.

>>15414197

Easily the worst community i've seen in my 20+ years of online gaming.

Great game though thats the sad part.

>>15414157

Siege community is reddit incarnate. Reddit likes it because it's somewhat of a "hero shooter" and there's lots of ways bad players can get advantages on good players through gadgets and getting a lucky headshot. The game would be so much fucking better if they added helmets like in CS.

>>15414660

The right solution would be to fix hitboxes/netcode.

>>15414868

>bulletproof shield

>in a city that heavily restricts and discriminates against gun use

>more people are attacked with knifes and acid

>can't even carry a weapon while using the shield

>no shaved head, just bald

For fucks sake they should have just given her a burka and half my issues would be explained.

>>15415113

If they gave her some actual crowd-control tools like they said she's based on, a shield would be used in conjunction with other officers with shields, like during a riot. Since this is pretty much the fucking opposite of Rainbow 6's style of operations, they should have just given her tools that focus on hampering the enemy team from bunching together, or boost her team for sticking close. And her design is terrible.

I get a lot of hate mail for camping hooks, I'm guaranteed at least two salty survivors complaing. Nothing beats deranking those tryhards. DBD has the most autistic community, Its like Super smash bros. They're trying to turn some party game into an esports title.

>>15413952

I love Myers in this. I treat it as a cuck hunting sim, all the better if that hipster dwight is in the group. I just stare at him on the hook like in Halloween lol. And he sends me a message after message sulking. I just tell em not to get caught.

>>15417011

Dwight mains are soyboys, fact.

>>15414487

That game was a whacky mess but it was so fun.

>>15413987

That would be pretty good

>>15414868

>being a skinny woman and able to lift and carry that around

What a absolute joke

getting a 10 kill streak in fear combat and yelling die motherfucker at the other team

>>15417221

that game had fun multiplayer, i liked having a choice of spawn weapons to choose from to "adjust the difficulty" so to speak.

>>15413816

>>15413939

>>15413952

>>15417119

What's up with Dead by Daylight? From what I see game is retardedly easy for survivors and is less about stealth and more about abusing mechanics that let you fuck with the killer.

>>15417253

Its much, much better now but it used to be that it became a game of survivor cheese: a ok, killer cheese: cheating faggots.

Basically when you run from a killer you can leap through windows or throw down palletts to block a small path to get out the killers way. This lead to meme strats like "window looping" and "vaccum pallets" where people abused animations to avoid damage. Keep the killer busy so others can open the door to escape.

Its mostly solved now and playing killers is better than ever and i totally recommend the game post 2.0

But heres an example of what it was like at launch a few years ago, survivors nearly killed the game. Ironic really when you think about it.

>>15417253

>>15417259

Yeah survivor was never brutally overpowered, they just had alot of second chance perks. I got to the highest rank by simply facecamping. And I even played Freddy and Trapper, the ones that are considered the hardest to play or be the worst against survivors. You just need to be good at the game.

>>15413816

I won 4 Battle Royale matches in a row in Fortnite.

>>15418104

Whenever my and my friends saw a streamer while we were killer we would always lag switch the lobby and watch his reaction. Priceless. I dont think anyone has ran into him on here, but he always played Huntress, would 100% facecamp no matter what, and would often purposefully lag the game to get better reactions. The VODs we would see and livestreams in the middle of his sessions, priceless.

We even had a list of people to specifically target at times. Basement Guardian Leatherman was my favorite build. Agitation, Insidious, Iron Grasp, and Monstrous Shrine. Did it to specifically 4 stack streamers all the time.

>>15418234

>The Killer is entirely reliant on Survivors fucking up

But isn't that exactly the slasher movie killer experience?

>>15418238

Not really, plus it doesnt make good for gameplay balance anyways.

If you have seen the devs play though, it makes it very clear why the game is so unbalanced as it is.

They are utter fucking shit at their own game, completely incompetent.

>>15418245

Oh yeah that video of the korean or japanese players bodying the lead dev and him almost tearing up trying not to say 't-thats not fair!' was priceless.

Its interesting that they changed being purely pro survivor after they escaped their shit tier publisher. I genuinely wonder if they were impressed upon so to speak to make it 'more stream friendly' that way.

>>15418263

There is also the recent dev stream where they showed off some matches of themselves playing.

Of course it was just them playing super casually with each other, not actual high rank matches vs competent players.

Wouldnt want to showcase how fucked their own game is after all.

> I genuinely wonder if they were impressed upon so to speak to make it 'more stream friendly' that way.

I am almost 100% certain that is the case.

Still, even after seperating from Shitbreeze it hasnt gotten much better.

Sure, there has been little improvements here and there, but DBD needs major changes, not little bandaids on gaping wounds.

Take the recent Trapper buff for example.

They buffed the shit out of him, yet he's still the second worst Killer in the game because none of the buffs they gave him fixed the actual major issues with him.

-He still takes way too long to set up

-Traps are still way too damn easy to disarm

-Traps are still RNG based, meaning even if you do catch somebody they can get out right away

-He is still way, way, way too reliant on addons

>>15418292

Looking at the test build for Spirit its looking like they expect addons to be required now.

>>15418331

I dont know what the fuck they were thinking with Spirit.

She's harder to play than Nurse, yet shes barely on par with Wraith, maybe even a little worse.

Then again, these are the same people who though a Killer who's ability essentially boils down to "Survivors require 3 hits to down instead of 2" was a good idea.

>>15418263

Watching that stream. Torch is pretty strong there, just light the killer for a while and you can do whatever.

>>15418340

>Survivors require 3 hits to down instead of 2

lmao nigger what the fuck

>>15414487

>Rank 1 consistently across all the matches I played.

>Got chummy with a bunch of other guys who played.

>Logged off and never played again.

And realized you were offline.

How expensive is this?

I see the base game at 20 bucks, but there's also a crapload of DLC.

>>15418456

All non-licensed DLC characters can be unlocked through grinding (approx 200-250 matches per character)

All perks (even ones belonging to licensed characters) can also be bought through grinding, though you can only buy a random set of 4, changed each week (about 60-80 matches per perk)

Survivors other than their signature perks are just skins, so not much lost there anyways.

All the licensed Killers are pretty shit, even Shape/Micheal Myers is mid-tier at absolute best.

This game has a fuckload of grinding.

Like I have over 2k hours and Im not even close to having Prestige 3+everything unlocked for every character.

>>15418481

Also forgot to mention, many Killers are borderline unplayable without Addons, which are single-use consumables that you can only get by, you guessed it, more grinding.

So the grind will never end even after you unlock everything.

>>15418489

>>15418481

Sounds like I'd have a better time dropping an extra 5 or 10 bucks and skip some of the initial grind. I don't mind grinding for consumables, but 200 matches for a new character? Holy crap, no freaking way.

>>15418502

<I don't like grinding

<therefore let's encourage devs to put some more grinding

retard

>>15418508

On the other hand, the game is 20 bucks.

I think the amount of content would however justify 30. So I'm willing to put up to 10 extra American Dollars next to my checkout cart if I find it worthwhile.

>>15418502

Play the game some first before spending any extra cash on it at all, as most of the best shit is free anyways.

Here's a basic Killer tier list

! = Base game or free DLC

?= Grind or paid DLC

$= Paid DLC only

A

! Nurse

B

! Hillbilly

? Hag

! Huntress

C

? Doctor

? Clown

$ Shape (Micheal Myers)

D

! Wraith

$ Pig (Amanda Young(Saw))

E

$ Cannibal (Leatherface)

! Trapper

F

$ Nightmare (Freddy Krueger)

A : Nurse is the only Killer that has a chance against competent Survivors that are doing everything possible to win

B :is fine in most cases, though can get screwed over

C : is a serious drop from B-tier though you can still do decent with them

D&E: Noobstompers, free win for competent Survivors

F : Literally worse than just playing as another Killer and not using their power

Where my /docmain/ buddies at?

>>15418544

WTF, Freddy is that bad?

He's like, the second most famous after Myers in slasher movies, what the fuck.

>>15418565

I presume the issue is >>15418364

Alright, looked around, only thing that appeals to me is having Bill has one of the suvivors, because I liked him in left4dead, and that doctor fella looks fun to fuck with people. I think I can take a bit of grinding to get him.

The rest is meh, but the clown also sounds fun, is there textchat so I can clown around with dead memes and taunt the survivors?

>>15418563

Doc is my go-to Killer when I dont care about winning and just want to farm BP.

I like him, but I wish he was actually viable vs competent players.

>>15418565

I explained it above in >>15418364

But yeah, hes a fucking mess.

Playing Freddy against competent players you might as well just go sit in the corner AFK, as his ability is so easily circumvented and does barely anything.

Isn't a big part of the Dead by Daylight meta fucked by the Survive with Friends thing? I haven't played it but I've watched some gameplay and it seems like the biggest challenge for the survivors is that they are intended to have very limited communication. This makes it much harder for the survivors to keep track of where the killer is, what the killer is doing, if other players need help, etc. But I get the impression that a lot of players will just hop into a voice call, and then they can easily communicate with one another to track where the killer is or to call out when someone needs help.

>>15418583

>>15418590

>is there textchat so I can clown around with dead memes and taunt the survivors

Theres a text chat in the post-game, but thats it.

>Isn't a big part of the Dead by Daylight meta fucked by the Survive with Friends thing?

Yes.

The game was designed and balanced around having no communication, it was meant to be all random players with no co-ordination.

That out the window within the first couple months after Survivors reviewbombed the hell out of the game for not having a team mode, even though it was never fucking meant to be a team game in the first place.

They never adjusted the balance to compensate for allowing Survivors to team up, by the way.

>>15418502

Its similar to R6:Siege but far less jewish. Personally i buy the dlc when they go on sales like halloween. £1.99 for a new map, survivor and killer is worth it for the time and fun i get out of it.

shame Bill is pc only though.

>>15418583

I actually like the continuity they do with Bill in this:

>>15418640

This is pretty neat actually, they did good for bill.

>>15418698

Shame there aren't more western horror to cross over with in gaming terms. Capcom would never do it but Jack Baker from RE7 would be fun if he could use his big hammer to break walls and do his whole "yoo dun i naow muthafukka" thing.

Shame Obscure as an IP is dead, that would make for a neat crossover. Or a splicer from Bioshock at a stretch.

>>15418720

Or go full mortal kombat X and bring in slasher movies villains.

>>15418740

They did mate.

Micheal Myers, Leatherface, Freddy Krueger, & Amanda Young are all in the game.

Too bad they all bad gameplay-wise.

>>15418740

They already have and theres more on the way. I think people are expecting the next is the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers.

>>15418759

>>15418794

Glorius.

>>15418811

Instead of flying they could do something like R2 fills a gauge over time and after a certain amount of time or chasing you shoot up and have 3 seconds to look around and crash down where you were aiming as an attack.

>>15418740

>>15418759

>>15418794

Ghostface? Also, while I like movie slashers I'd prefer some more interesting original characters, as long as they aren't ersatz movie slasher stand-ins.

>>15418888

rip those quads

>>15418888

Ghostface, Cenobites, Chucky, Pamela or Jason Voorhees are all possible options, assuming they stick to the human/former human theme.

Im honestly kind of torn on the inclusion of the movie characters though.

On one hand, yeah its cool that they are in a game and you get to play as them.

On the other, the devs are complete retards at balancing and are sure to make them underpowered punching bags for the Survivors to bully, ruining a lot of the appeal of playing as these iconic villians in the first place.

>>15418888

They do both. They started with 3 killers and now theres something like 13 with two more coming this year alone.

>Evan MacMillan, The Trapper: Last in a long family line that lost it when the family went to ruin. giant that puts down bear traps

>Philip Ojomo, The Wraith: Creol junkyard goon. Rings a bell to turn invisible and must ring it again to uncloak

>Max Thompson Jr, The Hillbilly: Chainsaw wielding redneck gap closer

>Sally Smithson, The Nurse: Former nut house staff that saw too much and went mad herself, a slow floating ghost with a blink

>Anna, The Huntress: eastern european woman who as a girl got lost INNAWOODS with mother, mother died and Anna turned feral. Brick shithouse that throws hunting axes for a ranged attack

>Rin Yamoaka, The Spirit: Japanese girl killed along with her mother by insane father. Now an Onryo spirit of rage and grief who can phase out of her body to stealth about.

>Miechal Myers, The Shape: Stalking focussed killer. The more you stalk a target the stronger you get till the Halloween theme starts and its killin' time

>Lisa Sherwood, The Hag: Girl tortured by psychos who turned to witchcraft for revenge, drops runes on the ground to jumpscare players with clones she can teleport to

>Junior Sawyer, The Cannibal: Its Leatherface. No further explanation needed

>Herman Carter, The Doctor: Can drive players insane so they hallucinate things that arent there and scream, giving away their location

>Freddy Kreuger, The Nightmare: Puts players in a dreamstate where he can kill them, he doesnt exist in the real world of the match, and to wake up players must fuck up a genny to give away their location again

>Amanda Young, The Pig: stealthy creeper who puts traps on peoples heads they must find a machine to disarm. The Saw character i know fuck all about

>Jeffery Hawk, The Clown: serial killer who realised nobody recognises the man behind clown makeup after running away to the circus, follows circuses into town as one more wagon, steals some fingers and moves on. Throws bottles of anaesthetic to dull the senses of victims.

>>15418908

Man Pinhead would be great, but what ability does he have? Chains that can count as an attack or a palett break on a cooldown?

>>15418935

I would assume it would be somehow chain related.

What I imagine is a 2-part ability.

1- Setting up invisible floating "chain portals" around the map

2- Triggering placed chain portals to become visible and shoot out chains at nearby survivors

Survivors hit by chains are temporarily stuck, their movement is limited to the chain's length, but not completley immobilized like a beartrap.

The more chains they have stuck in them at once, the more their movement is restricted.

Something like that maybe.

>>15418958

Heres a fun perk idea:

>"You opened it, now you have to come with us" - Players opening a crate have a chance to teleport Pinhead to their location.

>>15418971

Remember, perks can be used by other Killers too.

Anyways I like the idea, but a direct teleport is pretty nasty, something more balanced would be something like:

-Survivors opening chests have their aura revealed

-While a Survivor is opening a chest your Terror Radius is silenced and you move x/x/x% faster

>>15418990

Is there anything that effects chest openings? As a killer i tend to focus more on other things since chests seem largely inconsequential to my gameplay and what do focus on.

But if something made players think twice about opening one that could be fun.

>>15419003

As in negative effects that benefit the Killer?

No, not currently. The only perk interactions with chests as it is are:

-Plunderer (Reveal Chest aura and increase chances of finding better shit)

-Up The Ante (Increases luck, therefore increases chances of finding better shit)

-Ace In The Hole (Gives you addons for shit you find in chests)

-Resilience, Leader, Spine Chill, Resilience, Prove Thyself (Increases searching speed)

-Pharmacy (Guarantees finding a medkit on first chest search and reduces volume of chest searching noise)

All shit thats good for Survivor.

>>15419007

Funny thing is the official DBD forums got flooded by new accounts bitching about the design being too sexual when she was revealed.

>>15419036

Ochido's personal army still trying to cause shitstorms i assume.

>>15419061

Actually, I think it was mostly Korean accounts, as there was several posts in Korean and there was piss-poor english in a lot of them.

Speaking of Ochido, did he recently get busted for sneaking pics of underage fans or something?

Ive seen multiple posts in the last few weeks calling him a pedo.

>>15419081

He got banned, moved over to PSN and started saying to very, very young girls they could "join the ochido army for protection if they sent nudes".

Shocker that the worst fucking player in the world is a shitking outside the game too.

>>15418612

>>15418590

I have only seen some videos about DbD and holy shit, outside context communication would break the game hard. Just decide on some names for places and suddenly you can rely track the killer nearly perfectly. It could potentially work if the point was to talk in game, so you could track them that way.

>>15418928

What's the difference between Hillbilly and Leatherface? They both use sledges and chainsaws.

>>15419141

Hillbilly is speed, Leatherface is power and ridiculous perks. Neither gets much play nowadays though. Doctor, Huntress and Wraith are the mid tier go to's for most. I favour Clown myself though.

>>15419086

Hillbilly is a high-speed map control killer, and is an actually good Killer.

His chainsaw usage is a high-speed sprint that gets him across the map quite well, giving him map control second only to Nurse.

Leatherface is just a weak noobstomper that punishes Survivors for being idiots.

His chainsaw usage is just a short temporary sprint that can hit multiple Survivors simultaneously if they are stupid and dont split up when leatherface comes near.

>>15419141

Hillbilly was one of the first killers in the game. He was in fact inspired my Leatherface, which is why they're so similar. Ironically, Billy is the better killer since he has such good map control.

>>15419148

>Neither gets much play nowadays though

Billy gets plenty of use. He's one of the top killers in the game.

>>15419170

I just never seen him much compared to Nurse at higher rank and at lower people just seem to avoid him because of 'aiming' from what i've seen.

Well this thread got me to try some new killers i don't usually try. Leatherface feels boring as shit but The Pig who i never tried because i hate SAW and its whole meme genre of movies is actually a fun stealth killer.

Plus i finally got the achievement for killing a player since i dont use moris and watched their head explode from the reverse bear trap helmet. Was some good shit i recommend.

>wake up

>more hatemail from streamers i killed

bueno.
