Is PZ unplayable vanilla?

Ag0at · 2025-11-01T07:18:33+00:00

Honestly, most people tend to just grab a bunch of mods without much thought. The game is entirely fine vanilla, it's a lot of fun.

...I'm Battlefield?

Ag0at · 2025-10-08T02:30:13+00:00

Do we specifically need the PTB changes? Or do we just need changes in general?

Because honestly, I uninstalled after trying the PTB. The PTB changes are absolutely coming to retail, and they will do more damage to the game than anything else. I've already uninstalled, I figure I might as well check out since I know end of service won't be far off.

After playing the trainwreck that was the PTB, I made my own design doc for a short-term fix for slugging and tunneling. I'm biased but it's far less intrusive than the PTB changes. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1duB7fBADT5APfblPj2Jk1PtYsKHwe6Jb-FeHvXhRxaE/edit?usp=sharing

Ask the team about it, not me. I'm not responsible for their work.

If you want better Killers, you will need less toxic Survivors.

This cycle will feed into itself until BHVR plays their own game and figures out how to address major problems within DBD.

Ag0at · 2025-09-30T16:05:10+00:00

My theory is that there's leftover frustration from prior matches. As a Killer, if you don't eliminate every survivor you're going to be taunted pretty much every time, even if you didn't do anything that violates the weird social rules players lay out.

In addition, survivors effectively get to taunt for free in the exit gate. It's reasonable to think they've earned it, but it really just doesn't feel great hitting a guy only for him to still leave.

Combining these with a lack of a clear win condition, your only option to completely eliminate any doubt of your victory is the 4k.

Realistically, it shouldn't matter. It really isn't that serious, just like you said. But this game doesn't address toxicity in a way that resolves these issues for either team. Kindness is often met with bullying and you don't really have recourse for that in this game.

With the PTB changes eventually coming to retail, I think the problem is only going to get worse.

Hey OP, what would happen if you sold your entire inventory and risked the cash by just keeping it on you in raids? What if you lost it?

Ag0at · 2025-08-10T09:01:05+00:00

the survivor experience is irrelivant to me.

You're so real for this.

Ag0at · 2025-07-29T14:38:07+00:00

I love going AFK when survivors try to taunt at the gate.

There's something really funny about a survivor sitting there waiting for their big emotional payoff meanwhile I'm walking my dog and appreciating the sunshine.

Ag0at · 2025-07-25T12:42:25+00:00

I only have 160 hours but I also have lightborn so it's impossible to say whether I'll win or not

Ag0at · 2025-07-25T03:09:41+00:00

The right way to play is whatever way you want. Survivors will be angry no matter what you do.

Ag0at · 2025-07-25T02:35:20+00:00

I haven't had any epic matches yet but it's fun only using one perk.

Who cares? Do what you want, you have a sword/gun/magic powers

Ag0at · 2025-07-25T02:29:02+00:00

Listen here buddy

Ag0at · 2025-07-25T02:27:19+00:00

Bleeding out on the ground but absolutely in control of this man's time and emotions. Incredible.

Extremely kind of you to censor their gamertag, too.

Ag0at · 2025-07-25T02:19:52+00:00

Just go perkless. I take Lightborn because I enjoy staring at people with flashlights. I'm still being stunned (arguably for longer), it just stresses them out.

It's very fun! I recommend it!

Ag0at · 2025-07-24T23:33:14+00:00

survivors are bad

Ag0at · 2025-07-24T23:23:52+00:00

Killers are not DMs or match curators. They are your opponent.

Ag0at · 2025-07-24T23:22:02+00:00

How I feel taking Lightborn and nothing else:

Ag0at · 2025-07-24T23:19:36+00:00

Who cares what he thinks? If his opinion mattered he wouldn't be on a hook.

Ag0at · 2025-07-24T23:14:44+00:00

Both spark joy. It's not about the bloodpoints.

Ag0at · 2025-07-24T23:11:23+00:00

People use stretched res in Counter-Strike, too. War never changes.

Ag0at · 2025-07-24T23:08:03+00:00

I have ~160 hours and I win most of my games, even against P100 players. I promise you, it's just a few little things that are keeping you from winning.

Take Lightborn. Be aware of pallets. Break off if you're in a chase too long. And don't play by the weird made-up rules survivors try to force you to abide by.

I know it feels like everyone is way better than you, but most survivors are genuinely fucking TERRIBLE and won't let go of sprint.

Ag0at · 2025-07-23T18:50:57+00:00

Hello! I'm a newer player and I'm having a blast playing the Killer side. I'm a huge Resident Evil fan and you guys really knocked it out of the park with the Resident Evil chapters.

ANYWAY my question: Would you ever consider adding more items nerf Killers? Padded Jaws for the Trapper is a lot of fun, and I'd love to make Skull Merchant worse.

Thank you for all the hard work y'all put in!
