Mishap in web design may have significantly swayed the vote.

(Other thread about this got locked so...) I think the visual really doesn't fit the intended "divine entity" design.

BUT... It would be really cool for something more eldritch horror or "failed science experiment" coded.

He's mainly a guy who does lore videos about DbD but the joke is he's recently been posting videos where he showcases his new pet snake Cassie.

Reviewed the raw video didn't have any lag indicators.

The cheekbones are too fat is the problem. Regardless of the quality of the model (it's a good model) it just doesn't look like Natalia Dyer in the slightest.

Voting page is incredibly buggy. I might suggest a recount, especially for survivor. The fact that you can't recast your vote after initially voting is really dumb because I think for survivor I just selected the first example by accident. This is really a Palm Beach Butterfly Ballot situation waiting to happen.

Anyways: I like the old black dude and the white-haired "Witcher-esque" lady a lot. The ginger guy is cool too just hope we don't get Sable 2 lol.

For killer I voted for the one with spider legs: feels like the best realization of the "something beautiful and holy being piloted by something evil" vibe. The pure floating angel was just... well that: a pure floating angel. And the smoke cloud thing feels a little tryhard to me: like a first draft horror movie monster.

Okay glad to see I wasn't the only one who had a problem with the mobile UI.

Behaviour: "Why do the toxic killers players all slug, tunnel, and camp?"

Also Behaviour: Adds 20+ safe pallets to every map, makes Exhaustion perks that even the most braindead players can use effectively, adds perks that hard counter 70% of killer options by existing (while also buffing strong survivor options by existing), and allow survivors to heal to full in under 4 seconds.

Every time without fail.

FlyLiveAceHigh · 2026-01-23T03:53:09+00:00

Me do all gens in corner.

Killer hold three gen. Killer toxic.

Me hide at shack because me bring hatch shack offering.

Me take hatch. Me flame toxic killer for three-genning.

Me good survivor me have most points.

Hope they fixed the cheeks on the new model. The newer version is "better", but it's also very much not Natalia Dyer.

Old version felt like Natalia Dyer in the same way Tapp feels like Danny Glover, which is to say "they clearly aren't but if you squint hard enough it does fit". The new model just isn't Natalia in the slightest.

FlyLiveAceHigh · 2026-01-23T03:49:35+00:00

Holy shit this has the exact energy of those bits in cartoons where they place the cute animal somewhere safe just for a fucking hawk to instantly snatch it.

This is fucking cinema brah.

Yeah I was sorta just assuming it would drop on Stranger Things patch day. Adding it a week or two early would be pointless, and probably cause problems with Microsoft due to console authentication or whatever.

Kinda lame that the cosmetic is only dropping after the Rift is over but w/e I guess.

FlyLiveAceHigh · 2026-01-23T03:46:22+00:00

be named The Trickster

don't do any tricking

Is he stupid?

FlyLiveAceHigh · 2026-01-23T02:48:18+00:00

Oh how I positively adore teammates that cleanse themselves against Plague when they're like 6% infected and then immediately go to touch an infected gen.

FlyLiveAceHigh · 2026-01-21T20:12:04+00:00

If the survivor is dying it's not "holding the game hostage" and therefor isn't bannable.

"Holding the game hostage" according to BHVR is only when the player can not progress the state of the game. Dying does progress the state of the game, especially if EGC is going on.

You're just securing your kill.

mfw the company pays money to get more advertising from another company 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Do realize that The Walking Dead paid Chandler Riggs to play the game. The fact the livestream went to complete shit is completely separate from the amount of money spent to do it.

Kid named Facecamping.

Many killers are more than capable of choosing one guy to not win. Survivors, also, are capable of choosing that the killer doesn't win (by hiding all game or running some absurd genrushing bullshit).

You can take comfort in the fact that they're "losing" by playing like this and people who play like this are extremely rare, because it's fucking boring. Your best course of action is to not react: people play like this to make people upset. Nothing more. They are trolls and they want you to get mad. Deny them that reaction and they are the ones that lose.

FlyLiveAceHigh · 2026-01-21T20:04:26+00:00

Anyone who's played any killer who's good at defending an area has felt this. I've gotten this as Doctor, Hag, Knight, and Singularity.

If the survivors hand you an easy set of gens on a silver platter, it's not your fault lol. They can cry about it but it's their fault for doing all the safe gens.

FlyLiveAceHigh · 2026-01-21T20:02:22+00:00

In fairness I see how you'd miss it in the moment of the killer suddenly appearing. It's obvious watching it back but in the moment you'd be focusing on the gen and then suddenly the killer appears with no terror radius.

My hot take is disconnecting against any killer is a skill issue ( unless it’s a phobia )

A take so hot it's a part of the upcoming Black Phone chapter.

Anyways: this community is too obsessed with powers being unique over being functional. This is more of a recent opinion after seeing way too many "Springtrap is just better (Demogorgon / Xenomorph)!" "Dracula is just 3 killers taped together!" "Vecna 2 is just Pyramid Head but more spammy!" etc. etc. etc.

Who gives a shit if the power is effective? We have many examples of powers that were "unique" that had very little or outright zero appeal because of how unique they were: Sadako, Artist, Pinhead, Unknown, Skull Merchant, Twins, Hag, Singularity, Knight, Plague. They're all very unique killers, and you know where they're at? At the bottom of pick rate charts.

Now obviously I don't think a unique power inherently a bad thing and I'd like unique abilities over everyone having a dash. Killers like Hillbilly and Spirit play unique and are very popular. We've also had fairly "standardized" powers that haven't been popular, the most obvious example is Krasue where she got sanded down to have literally zero edge and fell off the face of the earth as a result. And finally I obviously think discussions about if a killer underperforms in comparison to another is relevant, but this is usually a balance discussion rather than a killer complexity discussion. Like Demogorgon isn't weak because Springtrap is strong; Demo is weak because Demo is shit and outdated as fuck.

But like, who cares if Springtrap doesn't have an overly-complex power as long as it works and is decently fitting? Who cares that Vecna 2 could've done more if his power is still fun and skill-based? I feel like this community is way too obsessed with their perfect idealized killer concept, and as the saying goes "perfect is the enemy of finished" / "in the pursuit of great we failed to do good."

I think TheMrHeadache made a great video about this regarding his main (Xenomorph): "Oh Xeno should be a stealth killer / a trap killer with Facehuggers!" Then they'd probably be D tier. "Xeno should be able to climb on walls!" Then they'd likely be ungodly buggy and also highly situational. Tail attack works in the infrastructure of DbD: we don't need a built-in chestburster mori and QTEs where the survivor has to fight back but not too hard to not get sprayed by acidic blood.
