Since multiple threads sort of derailed talking about it lately i thought i'd make a thread of its own.
>What is it?
Dead by Daylight is a simple asymmetrical multiplayer game. 4 people play cliche slasher movie victims called survivors, one plays a slasher movie antagonist called the killer. A mysterious spiderlike horror called 'The Entity' has summoned innocents and madmen into its realm to perform a sacrifice for it. The survivors must activate 5 generators to power two gates to escape on the edge of the zone. The killer must stop them by impaling them on hooks for the entity or killing them. Theres more complexity the more you get into it but thats the basics.
>Who are the killers?
Trapper: Lays bear traps
Hillbilly: Forward dash with chainsaw
Wraith: Ring bell to cloak and decloak
Nurse: Ghost with a blink
Doctor: Drives players mad so they scream and reveal their location
Huntress: Throws axes at range
Clown: Throwns bottles of anaesthetic that daze and leave a cloud behind
Hag: Draws runes that cause jumpscare clones to pop up
Saw: Puts traps on peoples heads, sneaks
Miechal Myers: Stalker that ramps up the more he stalks
Freddy Krueger: invisible, lures you into a dreamworld where he can kill you
Leatherface: Slow chainsaw user with perks to track victims
Spirit: out of body stealthed tracker
2 more due this year.
>Whats changed?
Company bought themselves from publishers pushing a 'make it easy for streamers' strategy that favoured survivors too much. Now its more balanced, not perfect but better, and the new system means you level and get shards you can buy new killers/survivors with instead of the real money option. Emblems were reworked and ranking is easier but staying ranked high is not.
ae64c7 No.15423680
>How do i progress?
As you play you earn blood points. Each survivor and killer has its own randomly generated sphere grid that grows ever more complex. You use points to open nodes and get perks, items or offerings. These make up your loadout but anything on you when you lose is lost bar perks now. You can unlock a perk on a character and in doing so it will then show up in other trees to mix and match. For example Leatherface is a recommended killer to level just to get his 'BBQ and Chilli' perk for every killer.
Beyond this you gain rank for each side you play separately and it all adds to a player account level that grants iridescent shards on level ups. These can buy perks outright from the weekly selection of 4 random ones, cosmetic outfits or killers and survivors that come out in dlc chapters that would otherwise cost around £3/$7 for a killer+map+survivor pack.
>Are the RMT's fair?
Yes its used to buy 'auric cells' funbux that only go on cosmetics that honestly bar a few are fucking pointless recolours. The closest to P2W would be buying Leatherface for a few bucks because his perk his so good on all killers
>Is the playerbase shitty?
At high rank there are 'mains' that have become a meme. Survivor mains think everything a killer does is some 'cheese strat' like camping, tunneling or the like and Killer mains see Survivors that pallet jump, window loop or whatever as just as bad. Bar the odd player trying to throw the game or abuse a OOB type bug the biggest example of shitty players are ragequitters that get knocked down by the killer and disconnect. But these have gotten rarer as the game has changed and been patched over time.
ae64c7 No.15423701
>Why do i like the thing?
The game is far from perfect. For one thing it needs modes and objective variations badly. But still i love it for the experience. Every killer added also brought a map that can have multiple variations and things in it moved around. Spooky run down asylum? check. Rotten river queen ship in da bayou? check. Fucking Haddonfield and Elm Street? check and check.
Its a game where survivor is a stressful horror movie exercise. You can never watch in every direction, you need to listen for the slightest tell or sound of an approaching killer and while cheesy voice chat team play makes it dull solo play is a great exercise in trust, paranoia and tension.
Meanwhile as a Killer its like hide and seek, a griefing simulator and old school pc shooter mind games in one melange of hutan and killan. Each killer has something unique to suit different playstyles and it feels good to tell you are getting better with one and becoming a fucking horrifying sight that makes players run as you progress.
Right now i'm really enjoying the Clown and Pig while levelling the Meg and Claudette survivors for their perks and having a great time. Theres been enough comments to know i'm far from the only player on /v/ into the game right now. Whats your preferred survivor/killer and what do you think they should ad in future?

I was thinking about that and you know what would be a fun idea? The Thing. One player is "The Echo" some killer in a parka with the hood up, but when he gets a kill he can spawn in player 2 as a random survivor. If the players know the game and remembered who was who and wearing what its at worst another searching pair of eyes, but maybe a perk like 'who goes there' means they make it far more likely to actually replicate one of the still living players appearances?
The question of course would be how do you matchmake that? but maybe instead you literally make your first victim a sub killer and they get killer instead of survivor points and so have to help you if they want to not get a loss and lose a pip of ranking?

That does sound interesting but I can only see that working in a solo queue game. That kind of killer would be countered entirely by survive with friends. I can already imagine a would be minion feeding info to his "former" pals. Although the idea of a survivor sized killer who is able to perform the actions of a regular survivor is quite interesting on paper. In theory their silhouette in the fog from a distance could cause a moment of hesitation. In a chase it could mean whiffing a pallet would be far more dangerous.

Honestly the game is decent, I put too much time into it myself but Killer is a slow way to learn to hate yourself and solo survivor is almost as bad. Game is horribly mismanaged and how its been able to be the only surviving and successful asymmetrical game is beyond me.
From what I hear Deathgarden has similar issues but it also has dedicated servers which I guess they cant be bothered to do with their bread and butter here so you know where developer priorities lie.

Requiring a sacrifice would be too big of a giveaway, and you might not get to use your power at all for most of the match. A killer that can appear to be another survivor for a short period (no longer than 30 seconds) would be pretty fun though. Kind of like how the new killer can use her power for a few seconds, then it goes on cooldown.
>>15423963
>Killer is a slow way to learn to hate yourself
I just don't want to put myself through it anymore. Even when I have a fun killer match, I don't want to deal with the next one.
>>15423979
you can't mori someone unless they've already been hooked once. Also, moris are an offering, meaning they're a one use resource (and even the worst one is rare to get). DS is a perk that you'll always have forever. If you meant sabotaging hooks, the survivors have a chance to keep their toolbox, and another perk lets them sabotage without a toolbox.

>>15424008

f3d755 No.15424177
>>15424120
Then it's toolbox, which they have a chance of keeping, versus an offering that you only get to use once, regardless if you actually use it to kill someone. It's in no way a counter. Plus, the survivor could find the toolbox during the match. There's no way for killers to find extra addons while playing. I don't personally care about sabotaging, but I don't like that the game favors survivors when it comes to resources.
The real counter would be the Hangman's Trick perk, which regenerates hooks after a short time.

I know that feeling deeply. I stopped shortly after the Clown update, so I've been free of the game for a while. There really is a certain feeling of frustration when you're up against a coordinated 3-4 stack and they're on point with bodyblocks and flashlights. Sometimes you can game them by playing on their high horse attitude and patrolling a hook can pay off, but it's evident that the game was not meant to have open comms between all players at once due to the balance of power being thrown off so hard by being able to keep track of the killer nearly at all times.
On top of this have developer bias (how long did it take them to fix audio cues and scratchmarks for killers again?) and their advice to people complaining was to essentially tell them to fuck off and play something else because they already have your money is pretty much a mood killer for bothering to reinstall this POS

I got this on sale once because friends were playing it and mildly enjoyed surviving with them, they slowly moved on to other games, and then trying to play it solo made me hate it. Even at low rank it felt like every survivor group I came up against was a coordinated experienced group and it killed all interest of learning the killer gameplay. The community is utter cancer as well.
Everything about the concept and atmosphere is great but they fucked everything up in gameplay and design.
It's not good when the most memorable thing about the game for me is the developer saying "we're doing a pretty good job so far".

at this point I just play killer till I get to about rank 10 then stop for a month or two, hell even at 15 its a 50/50 chance on whether you'll get tugged around like a fucking rodeo bull with clowns and just constantly feel like a total fucking idiot pissing against the wind
I can get to higher ranks, sure, my best killer is nurse who basically breaks almost all of the abusable gimmicks survivors can dish out, but even when I win against a group of fucking coordinated navy seals its not fun anymore, the charm is completely lost in high rank

The game is fundamentally broken by the ability to queue as a group, and the devs are too chickenshit to block that because they'd lose a huge chunk of their playerbase.
The only killer that can overcome a coordinated group is the Nurse, and that's only because she can flat out ignore half of the survivor's mechanics by just teleporting through the level geometry. Even then, proper perk selection will make the Nurse's victory be utter fucking hell to suffer through with everyone being loaded with decisive strike, dead hard, instablind flashlights, etc. For non-Nurse killers, being paired against a coordinated team is an automatic loss unless they also happen to be braindead.

If you want to actually have fun with this game, get good with Nurse and completely shit on wannabee bullys in high rank games. Shit feels satisfying as fuck.

Honestly, it’s not to bad. Playing the survivors feels like a good stealth/survival horror, where as playing as the killer almost feels like the better parts of the 2009 AvP game. Hopefully the devs aren’t cucked and don’t just listen to the community bitching to buff or debuff and instead really focus on balancing the thing properly. For all the shit it gets I’m actually finding it pretty fun though I haven’t gotten into the meta game yet to see how broken the thing is.

I'm not entirely sure since I started playing some 3 days ago, but aparently there's some kind of meta-agreement where killers agree that if they hook someone in the basement, you're suposed to leave and give the other survivors a chance to rescue the guy.
Which also implies giving them a chance at finding an item, healing and disappearing again, from what I can tell.

When I read the thread a few days ago and decided to try the game, I kept switching between killer and survivor because it seemed like the best way to learn the game.
3 days later and a question pops in my head: how the fuck can someone main survivor/killer? You're locking yourself out of half the game that way. Not to mention forgoing opportunities to learn how "the other side" plays and learning how to counter it.
After a few more matches, I've come to the startling conclusion that these people are fucking retarded and I hope I get many of them because they're easy wins.

Skill rank 1 each, but the basic gist is that I'm already roaming all over the map looking for traps and setting them up. While doing so, I have a huge terror radius (that increases if I pick up someone from my traps) and anyone inside not only has skill check fuckery to deal with, they also think I'm very near them and run away.
Couple that with half of them insisting on disarming every trap (seriously, I had 15 diferent traps disarmed on my last match) and the survivors do fuck all all match besides running, dealing with traps and blowing up generators.
Any other perk from other kills that could help with this? It might be a dumb meme, but if I wanna max my Terror radius and see what that does for me.

Monitor and Abuse is another skill that can stretch your terror radius, only if you are in a chase otherwise it makes it smaller by the same amount it extends it by outside of a chase.

I love running M&A on Myers. His normal terror radius with Evil Within tier 1 is 6 meters, meaning M&A removes it completely. It also reduces his tier 2 radius from 16 meters to only 8 meters. It's like being tier 1 with none of the drawbacks. M&A also increases your FOV.
e0728f No.15448324
>>15448237
Nah, it's not that usefull. Unless I'm actively chasing someone, the Terror radius goes down. 6 meters doesn't seem a lot, but when the Terror radius is already fuck huge, 6 meters means losing a huge area.
It comes down to how frequently I'm chasing survivors versus when I'm not, and honestly, when playing Trapper, I don't chase them that much. I think the first 4 minutes of the match go by without me seeing anyone, I don't even bother searching. I'm just going around setting traps, kicking generators and eventually either someone pops up in my view or he steps into a trap. On one match, I caught one guy and the other three bum rushed to save him. They un-hook him, I get two hits on two of them and when they run away, they step into my traps again. At one point, I was running out of nearby hooks because these retards would not give up saving someone even if it meant walking a minefield without healing themselves first. Easiest match so far, I'm still rank 19, but I'm already getting a few rage quitters and it's delicious.
Sadly, it seems when someone rage quits, it doesn't count as a sacrifice. I only got the achievement for 4 sacrifices after none of them rage quitted. I also noticed that this means I don't get the "Everyone died" bonus if at least one of them rage quits. Spoil sports.

Joking aside, yeah, I know it's a noob-stomp strategy. But 60% smaller zone's is a huge hit.
If they're not stressed, extra skill checks work in their favour, but if my Xbox hueg Terror radius is constantly scaring them, they might miss the sound cue and fail the check quite often. From my experience (and like I said, I got those perks at rank 1 so far) they seem to fail skill checks a lot more.
When I climb up the ranks and this strategy starts failing, I'll probably toss Hex:Ruin instead of Overwhelming presence and that will no longer be a problem. Maybe even replace agitation by Overcharge (pretty much garantees they fail) or Hex Huntress Lullaby, since I get 5 people hooked in 3 to 4 minutes.

I just watch videos of DbD, but to me this thing seems retarded. You can escape the killer just like that because ???
ae64c7 No.15455083
>>15455060
its a perk so sure you can escape the killer but you are giving up 1 of a max of 4 slots where that is often better used for anything. If you go in expecting to be caught you go in expecting to not be credit to team.

I'm learning this the hard way.
I picked David and though "Oh wow, that No Mitter thing combos really well with DeadHard and the other one that makes you repair stuff faster when injured!"
But then I realized how crap it is because removing blood and grunts isn't worthy losing what amounts to 50% of your HP.

>tapping generators with ruin
What does that do?
b4fe6d No.15455720
>>15455637
No Mither build is really good if you know how to play stealthy and juke properly.
Having only 1 health doesnt matter if the Killer can never hit you.
>What does that do?
Gentapping lets you repair gens while preventing skillchecks from appearing at all, nullifiying Ruin's effect.
Its slower than actually hitting the skillchecks properly, but for noobs who cant hit perfect skillchecks consistently it lets them circumvent ruin for less of a speed loss than actually going through it while fucking up skillchecks.

What specifically are you referring to?
Are you completley clueless on the mechanics of this game or is there something specific in the video you are wondering about?
b8f21c No.15455775
Only just the game but I find it to be entertaining, I really don't know how people can get raging over it, though. It's not competitive at all.
anyway, two things: I hate playing against the Hag, you can't see those shitty traps and I hate jumpscares and I'm not going to crouch forever. Two, I have a general idea on how to play all of the Killers (except I still need to get good at nurse warping), but I have no idea how to play Doctor. I don't know if there's a benefit to shocking someone more than once, and when to switch modes so I can hit someone.

>>15455775
> but I have no idea how to play Doctor.
Doc is pretty mediocre, but heres some basic tips.
-At the start of the game turn on his treatment mode, then as soon as you hear the first scream turn it off and start chasing that fucker.
-The Madness effects arent strong enough to be worth actually building up, and once they are maxed out they are extremely easy to get rid of. Dont bother.
-Dont bother using the shock in a chase, as the disabling effect usually doesn't last long enough to be useful, though there are some specific situations where its useful.
I highly recommend using Interview Tape+High Stimulus Electrode, which together make his shock beam extremely long, allowing you to "snipe" far away generators to check if people are repairing it without needing to actually walk over there.

Also bodyblocking is very vague.
Does it mean only mean a survivor blocking the killer or does a survivor blocking a teammate also count?

Whatever you say, shill-kun.

Urban evasion destroys the hag, it makes her traps absolutely useless.
Survivors are so fucking OP in this shit game.

Yeah, dont bother with that.
As I said, the disabling effect doesnt last long enough to work against actually competent players. Its strictly an anti-noob ability.
Its a waste of time in 99% of scenarios against Survivors that actually know what they are doing.

That guy was his "Obsession".
He's running a specific perk called "Save the Best for Last".
Each time you hit a Survivor other than your Obsession, you gain a stack. Each time you hit your Obsession you lose 2 stacks. For each stack you gain faster attack recovery speed.
As the perk's name implies, he was saving his Obsession for last so he wouldnt lose his stacks.

There's something else that anon might not be aware: when you hit someone, your killer massively slows down for a couple seconds (some lick the blade or claws) to give the survivor an head start.
Some killers don't bother restarting the chase. Unless the survivor sticks around, I don't. I just keep going for another one because 9 outta 10 times, the wounded survivor will try to heal himself up first or have someone else do it. That means two survivors are not doing generators. If during that time I manage to find a third guy and start chasing him, that's 3 survivors not accomplishing their objective.
Also, the Obession thing, yeah.
I've also discovered something that gives me great pleasure and probably makes surivors made as hell. I take the Wraith, and keep spamming the Bell during chases without actually going invisible. And then spam the Bell when someone is on the hook, especially if I know two other survivors are nearby waiting for me to leave. Also spamming the bell on the last survivor crawling on the floor without picking him up. Or spamming the bell in front of a closet I just saw one of them enter. And spamming the bell at anytime, everywhere. It's the only killer that has a sort of "taunt" and it feels really good to ring-a-ding that thing in front of survivors that think they're hot shit.

Didn't the guy who got accused of being some sort of bigot back down since he felt like the devs were "harrassed" after they lied so many times and people called them out? How is that game even doing though. They tanked their own game just to defend their ego and friends.

Rapidly dying, with the only spikes in playerbase whenever they release an update.
And there wont be anymore updates due to legal issues involving the F13 liscence.
So, yeah its going to die sooner or later.

Had a friend show me the game a few months ago.
Everytime you enter a match, it's a 20% chance there's one (or two) hackers. Speedhacks or infinite health.
Then you have retarded shit like people taking a friend with them into a lobby. They pick Jason, the friend goes councilor and then VoIP's the councilors position to Jason. Or straight up kills them because friendly fire was A VERY GOOD IDEA. You don't get banned for this either, btw.
Got curious enough to see the state of the game currently and pop open a video.
You can search for any recent video and discover that it's still a glitchy bug-ridden game. You have shit like Jason striking someone 7 times and he doesn't even die. Not because of hacks, straight up bad netcode. Which makes it extra hilarious with the rampant cheating: you never know if it's someone hacking or the shitty game working against you.
The whole thing is a mess.

FYI they put it out on everything at once and for some reason on PS4 and Xbone -if someone owns one for some strange reason- it should download 1.39 which is the new build, for some reason some people are getting a 1.4 that is not valid for any online play. Dont know if its on steam to but check your versions niggs.
