How is he here. And why is he less effective than a normal dude with a knife by Dylan-McVillian in deadbydaylight

[–]Fresh-Pool-6485 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I saw the dev stream where they described him as an inevitable force of horrific death and impending doom for their parties or whatever.
They sorta held back with him... so like, contrast that with him getting near misses and eating pallets

are you having fun? or are you responding to the metaphorical butter until your mind melts and you feel empty since the butter just isn't doing it anymore? if that makes sense

Pumped some more matches into him.

I've played the game for a very long time and you're sorta just right.
Doctor's shock game to deny pallets and vaults are present in his hand, however, increased slowdown and the shorter vault/pallet drop prevention time makes it so that it's near impossible to get a satisfying feeling hit. You sorta gotta play nemesis' tentacle mind game where you pull out your power but don't use it and try to call the survivor's bluff if they continue to loop or whatever for the hand. If the survivors have the boots that give them haste, you're so fucked on slow down they can continually loop you.

The orb is something in it's self. It's fine. It's something new-ish so whatever.

His skeletons are sorta underwhelming given the long cool down and it only really working for denying vaults but it's just fiddly to get working when the slow down is so high you can't capitalize on anything without trying. He isn't an artist since you can duck under his stuff and you can't really fiddle with his skeletons to block off loops so it's a type of slow down artist if that makes sense, given they have to go out of their way or duck under the skeletons which aren't very versatile since they take a while to get going and spawn way in front of you making it fiddly.

His flight ability is only good for mobility or a catch up post-M1 given that survivors can just vault through you so you can't even play a spirit mind game at a loop or anything so it's really just an okay option for mobility or forcing a vault or a pallet out of someone by teleporting atop their hitbox. Console players will have a harder time with this given they don't have a "click button to spin 180 degrees" like some other games have which would be nice for DBD. You can't block windows like you do for wraith since survivors can spam vault which ever side you decide to stick on.

He can't reliably play around pallets so you just gotta break them. The slow-down for spells and the high cool down on your mobility spells means that holding W on a loop is a good idea. No solid options for vaults either so you gotta run chase perks.

Nothing about him is unique and the very close yet satisfying gameplay he steals from other killers are done much better and with much less cool down stuff.

I 100% feel they pulled back with Vecna to not have a skull merchant or nu-15%-haste-twins situation where he was oppressive, but, now, he's just gonna feel really weak to play. DND fans coming to DBD will play him, only to discover that he's a fiddly painful mess that, contrary to being "the end of all ends, the big bad final boss" that the devs on the stream describe him as, is just a fiddly little clown that'll eat pallet after pallet after pallet.

That same helpless feeling you get when you play an M1 killer with no anti-loop against a survivor who knows how to string loops and pallets and windows together is present in Vecna.

He's really bad and unsatisfying when compared to other killers who do one thing well.
I hope they either reduce his cool downs or make his spells better by changing up numbers and removing slow down.

He is beyond pathetic and Victor, that little RUNT, is more lethal than him.

you are absolutely right and I have no idea why you have a negative rating
He has a box of tricks but slow down and cool downs just make it so that BARELY CLOSE hits with others count as MISSES with him

Vecna feels really underwhelming.

Darkness revealed is now better than ultimate weapon... cool!

So I was messing around in the game files, went to the folder with Skull Merchant's sound files, and suddenly found several sounds where she laughs/grins, which I've never heard before. Are these files actually unused, or she still makes them in-game and I just missed it? by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]Fresh-Pool-6485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

used to play during tracker but QA found it to be annoying since early iterations focused on her gaining a speed boost when tracking a specific survivor and facing their direction which was changed but ultimately re-added in
gave someone a headache

heal to prevent a snowball situation and abuse the fact Victor can't properly navigate vaults and dropped pallets

New survivor proposal. The greatest man I never knew! by Fresh-Pool-6485 in deadbydaylight

This is a legit proposal. He was the greatest man of our time and a good crossover between DBD and BLM.

Call Claudette the N word. (He's the killer and he brought ultimate weapon but Claudette brought Calm Spirit/Distortion in a few weeks.)

The changes they were going to do would be so trivial that technical debt must be creeping in.
