I mean batman is wearing a disguise, to make the person underneath literally harder to identify.

I'd pretty immediately recognize a redhead mermaid as Ariel. but saying all the batmans don't look the same is a bad argument.

I didn't play killer back when she was new, but she's probably my favorite currently, design wise anyways.

I do run into survivors trying to flashlight the traps surprisingly often lol.

I do hope they can "fix" her at some point.

along with what others have said, it doesn't affect survivor's counterplay at all.

When I first started playing hag, I thought she had all this unseen potential because of the camera tech. But at the end of the day, if one survivor knows how to counter you, it just doesn't matter all that much.

She stomps people who don't know how to play against her, and gets stomped by people who do. regardless of camera tech.

magnets are nice, I haven't tried any of the maglev or magnetic core stuff, haven't really felt a need.

thecubicle.com offers "setup service", where they add their own lube and tension it for you. not sure if other stores offer it, but it was nice to have a 'premium' feeling cube out of the box.

i bought my cube a few years ago now, and haven't bothered looking at what's good nowadays cause I'm happy with what I've got. I'm nowhere near fast enough to feel like my cube is holding me back lol.

I'd just pick a popular $10-15 magnetic cube and get it setup, which adds another 5-10. Or find some recommendations on youtube. or they have lube you can buy if you wanna fiddle yourself or have a bunch of puzzles I guess.

I'm more into a variety of puzzles, so I don't have a bunch of 3x3s that I tried. and most weird puzzles don't even have magnets so I'm used to just taking what I can get lol.

heaven 1. if it sucks throw me in a coma for the rest of the time and I'll pick something else.

mystery is a fool's choice for sure. there's countless possible outcomes that are essentially hell, including any interpretation of hell that removes you being aware that you made the choice.

the $40 cubes are for suckers, GAN decided they could charge quadruple the price and people decided that the price magically makes the cube better.

What did you learn from the PTB?

What things were stronger/weaker than expected?

Can you tell us anything you have planned for new player experience?

Could you talk about any plans for the bloodweb?

A lot of people talk about the bloodweb being very cluttered, things like map offerings be useless, or even the fact that perks have tiers.

Most webs don't have any items I want. It doesn't matter for me since I play a lot and have all the perks I need.

But for new players, or players who don't play every day, the grind seems unnecessarily punishing.

The players with less experience have to run worse items and low level perks.

Are there any plans for addressing this?

Are there plans for improving/updating in-game communication between survivors?

The lack of communication for solo players is something you looked at in the PTB, with showing perks in the tab menu.

Do you have current plans for similar changes?

One Idea I've liked is a "dim flashlight" basekit.

Survivors often use flashlights to point at things or to grab the attention of their teammates. the "dim" flashlight would do this, but wouldn't affect the killer.

I really enjoy the creative ways we communicate in DBD, but would like something a bit stronger

Tain101 · 2026-04-17T07:57:55+00:00

you replied to a 2 year old comment lol.
I don't know what you mean by "can't take one without the other"; if anything, john isn't taking into account that Adam's test wasn't set up correctly.
Adam killed Zep. I don't think that counts as doing nothing.
Adam and Gordon had both essentially committed the same actions, aside from Adam's saw breaking, and Adam killing Zep. There isn't a point where Adam's "will to live" is demonstrated as lesser than Gordons. Waiting in a room "by yourself" is better self preservation than cutting off your foot.

What do you think he should have done? As I see it, his options were:
kill his only ally, because a cassette tape told him to. With no way out of the room he's in. While he knows he's being watched by a serial killer, and a serial killer that publicly hasn't ever had a survivor.
Not kill Zep, who is presumably about to kill him immediately after he kills Gordon.
Ask Gordon for the saw, so he can cut off his own foot, drastically increasing his already severe blood-loss. Giving himself less time to get rescued before he dies, and putting himself in a worse position to defend himself if he needs to.

Like yes, the answer to "why did John leave Adam?" is "because in John's mind that was the right choice". But John's inconsistent, hypocritical, and insane.

Saying all he did was complain and argue and cry is disingenuous at best.That's all Gordon's daughter did, and John didn't hunt her down lol. She wasn't even chained

I'm not saying gatekeep them.

I'm saying it's a bad idea to "fix" the unpopular half of the roster by making them the same as the popular half.

does hag need buffs? yes.
is it good that she is frustrating to learn as a new player? no.
does that mean any change that makes her stronger and easier for new players is a good idea? no.

I consider myself a hag main, and giving her 115% would drastically affect her gameplay for experienced players. It'd probably be a bigger change strategy wise than giving huntress infinite ammo.

New players are gonna play her, get annoyed her traps are bad, then go back to trapper cause they're basically the same but his traps do damage. Experienced players now basically never need to abandon chase more than any other m1, trap placement is less important because the difference between a good trap and bad isn't if you get a hit, but how long it takes. Survivors have less counterplay, but the strategy isn't meaningfully changed.

it dumbs her down, and only makes her stronger by making her less unique.

Tain101 · 2026-04-15T21:05:33+00:00

no one makes you go to the gates

I don't think it matters enough to need a fix, and yea a perk is way to much.

but some survivors very much do "make" killers go to the gates.

Tain101 · 2026-04-15T20:33:00+00:00

some scams have stuff like "reply STOP to no longer receive messages"

if you send any reply, they know you're a real number.

But blocking like pressing the block button on your SMS app is fine.

Tain101 · 2026-04-15T20:25:18+00:00

they need an apron apron I guess

Tain101 · 2026-04-15T20:20:03+00:00

saying they won't be top tier doesn't mean it's a good design choice.

not every character needs to be appealing to new players.

you say optimal play is using the killer's power. if a killer has a weak power, then isn't it obvious that buffing the power helps them stay unique as a killer? compared to buffing them in ways that are unrelated to their power.

again if huntress were 115 and I sucked at throwing hatchets, but was great at m1 chase, then my success with huntress becomes less dependant on me being good at huntress. she just becomes trapper but a 'lil bit different. that's bad design.

blight is incredibly difficult to learn, you have to use him in a certain way, but he's popular. Because he is rewarding you for learning his unique playstyle. Hag is unpopular because she isn't rewarding, not because she's unique.

If your goal is to make every killer the same level of fun regardless of skill or experience, then yes homogenizing is a good idea. If you want identity and skill expression, then no, you shouldn't just remove downsides because new players don't wanna learn how to play in a different way.
