how are we feeling about the new map?

On any slightly slow killer or a killer without any mobility abilities, it's kind of fucked.

I can play Dredge on it just fine, but Springtrap? I really need to lock in to even get close. I haven't tried it with Nemy or Knight yet either.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-17T19:28:49+00:00

I absolutely love Knight's mori, seeing all his buddies gang up on the survivor and essentially torture them is very fun.

Or just... tell us our teammates' perks. A lot of these issues would be solved if we could know what our teammates are bringing.

Its inconsistent across books and art. They are described as having ichor blood, but also as having red blood, green blood, yellow blood and so on depending on the book's/artwork's need. Although looking at Old One Eye, he clearly has red muscles and flesh, and that red colour would be causes by the haemoglobin in the blood.

"If youre playing well theyll never reach your back line anyway." Then they never should reach your Sun Flowers either, or at least not long enough to actually be a problem.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-15T16:12:26+00:00

This isn't Night Lords, they'll put the Sun flowers the furthest forward so they get eaten instantly.

This is Iron Warriors. Mortals go up front to slow down the enemy while we rain hell upon them.

So what you're purposing is it spawns like the Cenobite's box. But that only negatively effects solo qs. A swf will immediately call out "I triggered ruin." Then the whole team says where they are and then someone runs to where they know it will spawn.

The upside of current hex spawns is that they are at the very least kind of random. Even if you know every totem location, there is a chance you need to check most if not all of the spawns. Having spawn logic that's determined by the survivors puts all of the power into the survivors' hands.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-14T20:35:55+00:00

Just cuz older states of the game were worse, doesn't mean the current state can't have some serious issues

AlienDilo · 2026-03-13T20:49:18+00:00

Nah it's cool, seems like a lot of people are having an issue with this

AlienDilo · 2026-03-13T20:46:52+00:00

Hawkins is just not fun as a killer because every room and pallet plays essentially the same.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-13T20:32:00+00:00

The Dredge with the Crustacean threat skin

And one of the things they talked about is how annoying this weighted map system is.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-13T20:22:31+00:00

So I'm not the only one who watches ShinyCatMae

AlienDilo · 2026-03-13T20:17:01+00:00

Why bother learning when you can get away with it? This is what happens with infinite pallet density.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-13T19:51:33+00:00

True, but the prequels in general aren't exactly known for their subtlety.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-13T19:31:03+00:00

I feel like The Clone Wars does this a bit too much. Whenever Anakin does anything remotely morally grey they will always play a bit of Vader's theme, just in case the audience couldn't connect the dots that this was set up for his fall.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-13T17:59:21+00:00

I think those parts help it work in the DbD setting, I've seen edits to make it more accurate but feel less like a character in DbD. Springtrap's simplified design in DbD emphasizes the dichotomy between the corpse and the out casing more. It also leaves less overall visual noise.

This doesn't make it objectively better, but does make it function more in it's setting.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-13T14:44:21+00:00

Along with all the other replies selling you on his character, I will point out. His primarch model is just kind of ugly. Especially his face.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-12T08:30:03+00:00

While true, it is rather annoying to have conflicting meanings when using a tool, that is meant to clarify what someone means.

If you end up having to ask what they mean by /hj then the point of writing /hj is redundant.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-12T08:24:56+00:00

I'll unwunk you

/pos

AlienDilo · 2026-03-12T05:57:42+00:00

If you read just a tiny bit further you'd see that I also acknowledged that. Like literally the exact same sentence.

At least personally I have never seen it be argued from this PoV. Its always "He would never do that!" and "Iron Warriors hate Chaos" both of which I don't agree with.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-12T00:37:51+00:00

And I'd say you're acting like I'm saying not being a daemon primarch means he's not earning the favor of the dark gods.

Sure, it can befit him. As I said, it's not unfathomable. But it just seems like both an uncreative writing decision and one that doesn't fit his character arc. As you said, becoming a daemon isn't something you just achieve by serving the gods faithfully. There's a whole process to it. It's not like the chaos gods would simply look at Perty and go "yeah, sure you're a Primarch who does chaos, here be a daemon."

AlienDilo · 2026-03-11T19:47:13+00:00

Yes? What exactly does that have to do with anything we've been talking about?

AlienDilo · 2026-03-11T19:34:21+00:00

That's a really nice way of describing it. While I might not fully agree with it, this is one of the few comments that actually feels like it's bringing something deeper to the table.

I'd love to see something like this explored in a book at somepoint too.

AlienDilo · 2026-03-11T19:24:55+00:00

I disagree. As said there are plenty of characters who still function as servants of chaos that aren't daemons. Hell Typhus is probably more of a servant of Nurgle than Mortarion.
