I wonder just what exactly do they plan to do with this.

The Entity is likely to never be playable by anyone (it would be interesting to see how they'd do it though) so it's probably gonna be a sort of "Patron" to the Killer, liking giving him a perk in addition to what he has.

Or perhaps, seeing how the Entity plays both sides, it will be a sort of map mutator. Every round starts with a random Entity that changes the rules somewhat, the Killer aware of that from the start, the Survivors having to figure out what Entity it is this time.

>There is a Daylight map coming

I know it's in the name, but literally why? Do they mean a map that happens during daytime? That's kinda stupid, I doubt they can pull a Downpower like Left4Dead and keep the same tone.

>The killers are aware of each other and some have rivalries

Oh cool. This could make a sort of 3-way competition, with 2 killers on the map trying to capture more survivors than the other. Wonder if they'd be capable of harming each other or not.

>There are various cults and worshippers of the entity earthside and they are going to be showing up in the new 'lore heavy' content updates

Either this is entirely fluff for the sake of story or they are gonna change the gameplay away from hunting generators to escape towards an actual Left4Dead game with a campaign the survivors have to go through, otherwise I don't see this playing out very well.

Cultists as NPCs in the map that work with the Killer to find the Survivors? Maybe the Survivors finnaly get weapons to fight against them (but they do nothing against the killer)?

>One of the survivors is also a killer

I'm surprised that they haven't done this yet, considering how the Pig is a bit disapointing. A Killer that looks like a Survivor and can get close to them without terror radius would be pretty scary, especially if you had to remenber his appearance to remenber that.

>predictions for the new pre WW1 killer?

Soldier. A german foot soldier, armed with a Mk1 Garand, fitted with a bayonet. His M1 is just shanking forward with the bayonet, while his M2, he crouches down, stays immobile and takes aim, firing a round once you let go, injuring anyone it hits with an hitscan projectile.

Alternatively,, also a Soldier but he has a gas mask and a rusty spade. The spade is his melee ability, while his M2 throws a gas grenade, covering a large area, reducing the vision of any survivor inside and applying a Gas Effect on them that makes skill checks harder and makes them cough loudly for a long while.

Nobody asked for proper lore. I guess they ran out of ideas for good gameplay

>>15576857

>good gameplay

But they never had that.

>>15576834

A mimic killer that looks like a survivor would be cool but i think they were imtimating that one of the playable survivors thats on the roster right now is actually one of the entitys killers and its not been revealed yet.

My moneys on the junkie looking girl. Or dwight was a secret chad all along.

Generals belong in >>>/vg/

>>15576497

>Also predictions for the new pre WW1 killer? i was guessing Pinhead but thats too early

Did you never watch any of the damn Hellraiser movies? Pinhead was "born" in the 1700s.

>>15576904

I thought he was a colonel in WW2, or was it an african campaign?

>>15576915

Nope. The Lament Configuration was made and first used in like 1796 or something. That's when Pinhead was "born". I think it was basically the first 1/2 of the Hellraiser IV plot. It starts with the creation of the Lament Configuration by the toymaker Lemarchand in the 1700s and ends with one of his descendants creating the Elysium Configuration in space in like 2020.

>Also predictions for the new pre WW1 killer?

10 bucks to Jack The Ripper

>>15576945

Nobody ever remembers Spring Heeled Jack.

>>15576925

According to the wiki Spencer turned into Pinhead after opening the Configuration after finding it in a opium den in the middle east during the end of WW1 which is the same time Huntress and her mom went deep INNAWOODS to escape the ruskies and she went feral.

>>15576961

>Spencer turned into Pinhead after opening the Configuration after finding it in a opium den in the middle east during the end of WW1

Oh yeah I forgot that. I guess Angelique the Demon Princess of Hell was the one that was summoned in the 1700s. Then like 200 years later she solved the configuration and Pinhead came out and turned her into a Cenobite. So the Lament Configuration has been around since the 1700s, but The Hell Priest was "born" in 1921.

I didn't know about the wiki and was working off memory. Thanks for the tip, horrorbro!

>>15576982

Well hopefully he is added. It could be a nice blend of trapper and hag. You put down puzzle boxes and anyone that passes gets chained, they have a chance to solve like the trap machine for Pig but it can summon him to them like the hag runes with some 'you opened it' perk.

>>15576993

Yeah there are a lot of neat possibilities with Pinhead

I doubt they'll do another pre-existing franchise killer. They've only done originals since they got the rights to their game and opened up the cosmetics shop. Notice only their originals have cosmetics. There's too many legal hoops to jump through to add that stuff for franchise killers, meaning they can't get any more money out of them.

>>15577007

They months ago there are 4 month killers in 2018, 3 original 1 licensed. We got clown and spirit so that leaves one original one ip killer.

>>15576834

>>15576891

>A mimic killer that looks like a survivor would be cool

>m surprised that they haven't done this yet, considering how the Pig is a bit disapointing. A Killer that looks like a Survivor and can get close to them without terror radius would be pretty scary, especially if you had to remenber his appearance to remenber that

This idea has been brought up a million times, and it will never work.

>Mimic killer reveals themself the first time

>All survivors just stay seperated for the rest of the match and avoid other survivors since there is no reason one survivor should be approaching another while mimic is being played as

>Killer power negated

>>15577032

Doesn't that just mean they slow down their generators? I mean the clown is literally just throwing mildly jelly vision causing piss bottles and that works.

>>15577071

No. Its actually much more efficient to have everybody working on separate generators than it is to work together on generators.

Basically the only time two or more people should be on the same generator is if its the last one.

>>15577080

lately i always see them in groups because of altruism farms. i genuinely can't remember the last time i saw them spread when not on the swamp map.

>>15577032

I guess it's an obvious idea, so it'd be suggested often.

If the Killer ability was to switch form and look like someone else, it would be a bit better, however I think you're forgetting the effect this has. If someone is injured and someone else keeps trying to run towards him to patch him up, what does this look like to the injured Survivor?

There's at least some modicum of teamplay that'd be severely botched with this Killer, especially if, instead of breaking generators instantly like everyone else, he can break them overtime while looking like he is repairing them, in order to fool Survivors.

>>15577080

If everyone is on different generators, that's a total of 4 generators where the Killer can find someone to hook. If they are all on the same generator, the Killer needs to find that specific one, however.

Besides, even if he does, everyone can just split up and meet later on, it's not like the Killer can hunt them all at the same time.

So you'd get a generator done much faster and reduce the odds of being caught while not really losing much. Unless 2 guys repairing 2 generators do so faster than 2 guys on one generator twice, there's little point in splitting up right from the get go, instead of only when the Killer finds you.

>>15577315

Or fuck just go the easy route: Map full of mannequins, killer is wearing mannequin parts like a suit of armour and can pose like one of the mimics. You give off no terror but cannot move about while posed. Survivor walks past and BAM

>>15577017

who is left?

>>15577032

I feel like that killer would be underpowered and a joke at high level player, because survivors are still OP. I imagine if you were in mimic mode, you can't hold items, so survivors would just avoid someone without an item once they know who the killer is.

>>15577417

we dont know yet. They just show roadmaps saying like "Killer 3 winter 2018". For the original killer its looking like its a pre WW1 character, maybe the guy whos been writing the bloodweb lore in game thats been injecting himself with blight from next weeks halloween event or its the IP killer which people seem to think could be the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers, Pinhead from Hellraiser or The Candyman from the film of the same name.

I can't rank up at all since the rework. Even when I go full on 4k as killer or escape as survivor I'm lucky to single pip, especially when I focus objectives as survive while everybody else goes full alturisim.

>>15577465

i'm running into a lot of altruismfags so i lurk around the gennys near the basement. Take one down their and enjoy a good conga line.

-Also use times like these to level up some killers you dont use much. Freedy is getting a total rebuild to not be hot trash in the next major patch.

>>15577508

It's been ages sense I've played really. Did Wraith ever get a good rebuild or are him and Freddy forever total loosers?

>>15577616

Wraiths pretty good right now and getting some more updates along with nurse.

Right now the rough tiers seem to be:

Top Tier

>Hillbilly

>Huntress

>Doctor

Mid Tier

>Clown

>Spirit

>Hag

>Wraith

Hard to use but if you can great Tier

>Nurse

>Michael Myers

Mediocre Tier

>Leatherface

>Trapper

>Pig

Freddy Tier

>Freddy Krueger

If you haven't played in a few updates i recommend trying Clown and Wraith right now.

>>15578048

Blame the time of year and lack of similar games.

>>15576834

>pre-WWI German with a Garand

None of what you said is even slightly sensible put together, aesthetically or chronologically. But I did think of the same sort of hitscan killer. You'd be looking at someone with a break-action gun or an 1870s+ single shot bolt action to get the reloading pace right. Considering the Huntress already pisses survivors right off, I imagine there'd be riots if they added a killer who can one-two punch anyone over slightly open ground if the crouch/aim ability is quick enough to enter, let's say similar to the Pig's ambush, and/or quick enough to follow up a shot with exiting stance & beginning the chase for a primary attack finisher. And if it's much slower, I doubt you'd be able to leverage it effectively. I don't find it likely that the devs haven't already thought of this kind of killer and then shelved it.

You might be able to design some interesting points into the ability, like headshots for inherent instadowns, or turning it from a static ambush to a slow and steady 'tracking' mode with enhanced scratches & footprints visible with a moderate buff stick time when the stance is dropped, but the former would only be useful for braining low-experience straight runners or the totally oblivious and the latter might be too strong a mechanic for catching survivors out. That all said, being able to deliberately seek out and catch cheeky crouchwalkers in addition to having a low ammo count 'eat shit' button would be nice.

As for gas grenades, that's a bit too similar to the Clown and is a worse version at that; the Afterpiece Tonic directly slows victims to shorten and maintain the chase, but even if it lasts a very long time, easymode anti-juke/hide gas is substantially weaker than a direct slowdown unless it lasts so long and the coughing is so loud that it guarantees the survivor is screwed if you tunnel them while giving you the luxury of delaying doing so, at which point it just becomes a better Doctor with instant pseudo-T3 Madness. That kind of 'you can only hide once if he cares' killer will also provoke survivor screeching.

>>15578048

I blame the small handful of shameless autists who've been hooked in or keep an eye on the game rather than shills in this case. The tone isn't obnoxious or incessant enough and there are breaks of up to a week between (relatively slow) threads.

>>15578048

Naaa I guess people just enjoy playing this game more then other similar since there was also a F13 but died relatively quickly and also a evolve one that never actually took off.

Between all dbd is the most complete and now that the dev aren’t sucking their jew overlord cock it could have good potential if they don’t follow the usual reddit spergs like f13 did

>ps+ had it last month

>I’ve downloaded it but was working on my backlog

Well, I will try it out then…. any tips for a noob?

>just watch it on jewtube

Yeah no. Between lolsorandum thumbnail and shitty face cam instead of showing the game I can’t stand watching out a horror game there, much rather thrust you fags

>there are some heavy fucking shill vibes going on here

That's because they are shills. There's currently two DBD threads on this board and there was another one a few days ago.

Coincidence?

>>15579601

im talking PS4 not PC, they play differently. Nurse on PC and Console are so different in feel that barely anyone plays her.

>>15579461

Try killer first as it lets you explore the maps more, they are semi random so certain things like the house or junkyard have some shit with a set layout.

After that certain survivors like meg and claudette are recommended to play first as perks you can buy as them are amazing for beginners and once you get them anyone else can get them too.

Shame they made a shit clone for Jason only, it would be cool to have all classic slasher killers into the same game.

>DBD is a fucking competitive multiplayer game, not a horror game.

<I-it’s not horror becasue you play with other people instead of IA

Holy fuck lui can go back to cuckchan any time

>>15587509

Honestly its not horror because theres nothing remotely scary about it.

Its essentially a slapstick chase game where the goal is to make a massive fool out of the Killer by abusing the fuck out of all the unbalanced shit the devs refuse to fix.

It's Tom & Jerry & Jerry & Jerry & Jerry .

>>15588170

This aint no thread for Clownin' around son.

>>15587132

>White noise 2 blows dick.

That's not very fair, mate. I've tried White Noise (after pirating it) and I can see the appeal of it.

It's Dbd but PG13 for sure, so it loses a few points there I suppose, but characters do feel a lot more different between each other, there's some interesting customization with your lantern, especially since it doubles as your weapon for fighting against the Monster and even the Monsters seem more interesting since they have more abilities to use.

Plus, there's different puzzles to complete in order to get the pages you're looking for, the need to gather supplies and measuring how you're spending them too and orientation can be quite hard.

You have no minimap and you can get lost easily, so at the end of the game when you get to see the way you walked around you can find out you've been running around in circles a lot.

It's funnier that, despite not having even 1/10 of the violence that Dbd has, it can actually be a lot more scary, what with the limited batteries on your flashlight, the sounds and the atmosphere.

However, I'm not sure I'd recommend it since I heard the multiplayer is dead and I don't think you can play over LAN with friends, but I'm not sure on that.

>>15590375

White Noise was literally made as streamer screamer b8 though. Everything you describe is part of the 'boo, haunted house!' facade designed to get soylent gentry like markiplier screaming churlishly to push the game on kids.

>>15591110

>defending Amnesia

>ever

I can never fucking understand people on /v/ doing this. Amnesia is fucking trash. A game designed for screamers as bad as Slender. You have a hub with a roadblock "puzzle" where you must find the maguffins to rub against it-and they do or dont, you literally cannot fail these- and inbetween crabwalk in the dark through jellyvision with monsters that are totally impotent. They dont give you a game over but move you then spawn somewhere else. You find a maguffin, it spawns an enemy, the enemy does nothing to mechanically effect your game, you rub the maguffin on the thing to open the way to the next roadblock and repeat 5 times to finish.

Its like seeing people walking through a carnival haunted house acting like its a legitimate deadly scenario. Sure every horror game is just a haunted house really but if you are conscious of it all the time because the design is so fucking abominably lazy then the game is trash. Which Amnesia is. Its fucking pleb tier and ruined horror games worse than people on here say halo ruined fps games.

>>15591183

>A game designed for screamers as bad as Slender.

The game has literally one screamer in it. "Run and hide" is a pretty flawed horror mechanic though. Games devs need to realise that not having guns doesn't make your game more sophisticated, nor does it magically makes things scarier either.

Okay a tip for people just starting as killer: sometimes its a fine strategy to down someone and not hook them if someone else is nearby. If you can get all 4 down it demoralises the shit out of them.
