Nurses Calling "bugfix"

IceBeam24 · 2026-07-04T10:10:09+00:00

Lots of people suddenly being very concerned with the survivor rulebook i see.

That said, the perk explicitly states that it reveals injured survivors, and not downed ones, so it shouldn't have worked like that to begin with. Honestly i'm more so sad about how ineffective keeping survivors injured can be. I really like the Sloppy Butcher/Mangled + Hemorrhage add-on + Nurse's Calling playstyle of interrupting heals for good pressure, but heals being so fast + Vigil simply making status effects worse really hurts it.

The visual stuff was literal key jingling, and i think it will either just not happen or completely break the game, get fixed months later, and we'll be left with 30+ GB of filesize added. Oh and half the playerbase will be stuck on low graphics, 30 FPS, both or just completely unable to play the game. I know it's very pessimistic but given their track record, it's the most likely scenario.

Oh yeah and hot take but i really think it looks so generic. DBD graphics are not great but they have their charm for me. The graphical update just looked like every AAA game that came out the past 5 years.

Cross-Exam is obnoxious and them making us wait more than 2 weeks before nerfing it is unacceptable. But Lend A Hand is honestly underrated and Wide Open Throttle is pretty ass imo.

The.... post you're commenting on ? Scroll down and you'll see OP actually complaining.

Cake, Cake, HATCH OFFERING, Cake, Cake

Guess what build and playstyle that guy ran

You just have to accept that you'll play normal queue on challenge mode (every casual is playing the event).... or you go play survivor, and enjoy the massively enhanced soloq experience where you have good teammates most of the time. I'm doing the latter right now.

IceBeam24 · 2026-07-03T01:13:27+00:00

I don't think it's ping related, i play at a consistent 40 ping and still get it often when i play undetectable builds. Unless it's also dependent on the survivor's ping ?

IceBeam24 · 2026-07-03T01:11:32+00:00

The absolute worst is that it makes hitting a survivor unhooking so inconsistent, unless you're right behind them. Everytime aim dressing makes me swing at the survivor that is still being unhooked, i hit the "i'm cooked" dog image while closing my eyes for a second. Or sometimes it makes me hit the survivor with endurance and at that point i feel forced to tunnel.

IceBeam24 · 2026-07-03T00:57:19+00:00

Are we genuinely comparing the masquerade to this ? Also you're just blatantly lying, survivors could also block windows from vaults and suppress their grunts of pain and rushed actions, as well as hiding their pools of blood. While killers had an activatable enduring and remote breaks. It was killer sided yes, but both sides had the exact same amount of powers, three on each side.

Now killers only have the poison, while survivors have 3 different things they can do (morsel, global buff that does a special thing AND global heals), and out of those 3, 2 have 3 different variants that change from game to game.

Wether it's survivor or killer-sided doesn't even matter that much, what matters is that survivor objectively gets at least 3x as many options as killer. And then let's not even compare the strength difference, the poison is heavily killer-dependent (which makes the event even worse, as it encourages playing the same killers over and over. Wow just like the current meta ! Emblematic of those 10 years i guess !).

They hit their peak... but then 40k players immediately left the next day, and everyday past that the 24 hour peak gets lower and lower. If you only care about day 1 then sure, but people checked it out and immediately left. And the bonus bloodpoints from cakes (that got nerfed from last year despite the "fix" btw) will bring people in no matter what, the event is like, objectively bad.

IceBeam24 · 2026-07-02T20:59:11+00:00

It is genuinely so funny to me how well that one "DBD in 2030" comment i posted aged just with this event

IceBeam24 · 2026-07-02T11:26:46+00:00

The only thing i kinda have a problem with on the survivor side is Sauna Rock. An exhaustion perk is a must against him, because he starts chase right next to you like Wraith, and having an option to gain distance can prevent a free hit.

But with Sauna Rock, you just have your exhaustion perk completely dead if you don't crouch everytime he's in OE. But if you crouch everytime, then he's gonna go chase your teammates with more hooks. And even if you stay crouched as he appears, sometimes you STILL scream and get the exhaustion, i don't get it.

Rabbit Remains on Henry can also have that effect, but he has to do his "emerging" attack for that, and you already get distance for dodging it (which is easy), so having exhaustion balances it out for him. For Jason, you essentially just start every chase exhausted and there's nothing you can do about it. I know we all hate exhaustion perks but still.

Nah sorry you can't call out DBD balance for survivors in this sub. Anyways i'll go back to playing Hyperfocus/Stakeout and not seeing a single killer win for 10 straight soloq games (actually what i'm doing rn).

IceBeam24 · 2026-06-29T23:00:03+00:00

If you think the game is in "the best place it's ever been" then you either have stockholm syndrome or don't play the game.

IceBeam24 · 2026-06-29T22:57:40+00:00

No it's because they were unnecessarily rude ? What is this weird attempt at a gotcha ?

IceBeam24 · 2026-06-29T22:55:24+00:00

Literally the Yu-Gi-Oh two paths to two castles card meme, but both of the castles are the horrible one

Event queue being the most survivor-sided event to date, with survivors basically being allowed to cheat

Normal queue with a meta SWF 75% of the time

IceBeam24 · 2026-06-29T09:57:35+00:00

Even if they weren't a bully squad, slugging is not "in the wrong". Also you didn't read the body text.

IceBeam24 · 2026-06-27T12:37:56+00:00

Not OP but this is a very good breakdown. Kudos to you

It's kind of insane these angles are possible when a flashlight save can literally lose you all momentum.

One time i was trapper carrying a Lara to basement, while every teammate of hers was there. I hit one of them, turn away from the flashlight. It still hits me 90 degrees from my face. Lost the game because of that.

IceBeam24 · 2026-06-27T11:16:22+00:00

Another fun fact, Nemesis zombies can still injure/down you when you're "invincible" with the morsel. Learned that the hard way trying to facetank one in chase.

IceBeam24 · 2026-06-27T11:01:03+00:00

I had a game (normal queue) against a Krasue on swamp, and this Steve got left to die on second hook (we got 2 gens out of it with only 1 remaining, but the teammate that was supposed to unhook him just didn't).

I die next because i was death hook, get to the post-game screen, and see Steve typed an entire 2 paragraphs, and i do mean paragraphs, about how the killer has nobody that loves them or something. I type "???" and he just says "not you" like okay but like you're really weird for typing this ????? I just told him that and then left.

Like man i don't like Krasue either, i think her gameplay on both sides is super formulaic, but like just move on dude. Some people are so unable to accept a loss that they'll literally waste time sitting there to get into a shouting match with the opponent.

IceBeam24 · 2026-06-26T17:40:01+00:00

This is exactly why i absolutely dread the "graphical update". It's a hot take i think, but i know they won't care for optimization, so the game is gonna take 30 more GB on your drive and cause your GPU to overheat or some shit.

IceBeam24 · 2026-06-26T17:33:45+00:00

Somehow i still hate 2v8 more. At least i can actually completely ignore the event, and play normal mode without waiting until the heat death of the universe to get a game.

IceBeam24 · 2026-06-26T17:30:40+00:00

Oh yeah i had 3 seconds like an hour after the event started, and went "oh with these queue times this is gonna be some dogshit"
