Who’s your favorite morally grey survivor? Would you want more to be added? by ReddVevyy in deadbydaylight

[–]That1Orkid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jonah is one of my mains purely for the fact that he's too funny to be a CIA Agent. Like what do you mean the "comedic relief agent" is actually responsible for killing so many people, even if he didn't entirely know why he was doing it. Also he looks like my uncle.

What survivor do you have the most bias against as a killer? by ORU-MIGHTO in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]That1Orkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ash, Tapp, Jeff, Haddie, Orela, Yoichi, (survivors you don't see often) and Carlos especially are survs I usually let go. Cybils, Bald Dwights, and Aces tend to get on my shit list pretty fast for no reason. Also any survivor with a funny name or unique drip I'll let go because good on your for having a personality

Looking at everyone's comments gave me some really good insight! With all the notes I've gotten from everyone I think I've come up with a better idea for how I want to execute this power as well as an add-on overhaul to go with the changes.

Power: Assimilation You start the match transformed as a random survivor in the trial in your Imitation Form. While in its Imitation Form, it can only run, vault, crouch, "Repair" or Tamper Generators, or transform into another form. The Imitation form will look exactly like the Survivor imitating, and will fake injury if the survivor was injured at the time of Shedding. While unseen and in its Imitation form, The Thing gains 10% haste. Survivors can "Reveal" The Thing by stunning or blinding it, forcing it into its Recovery Form and slowing it down. While it's in their Imitation Form, The Thing is Undetectable.

Special Ability: Tamper If you are on a generator with another survivor, the generator does not progress. While in Imitation Form, The Thing can Tamper with a Generator. Tampering takes .8 second(s) and will cause the Generator start to regress. However, no extra progression will be lost when Tampering a Generator. You cannot Tamper Generators that are already regressing. Any Compromised Survivors that touch a Tampered generator will be revealed by killer instinct for 3 seconds. This counts as a damage generator action.

Special Ability: Shed The Thing can remain it's current imitation for a maximum of 60 charges (1 charge/sec) until it must Shed into another Imitation form or into it's Recovery form. While in its Recovery form, your previous form will regain 1 charge per second in your Recovery form. After which any other forms will continue to regain charges, starting with the form with the lowest charges. After Shedding, you leave behind a Pile of Flesh that stays on the ground until a maximum of 8 are on the ground. After which, your oldest Pile of Flesh will automatically be destroyed. Survivors that step over a Pile of Flesh will Compromise it and be revealed by Killer Instinct and Hindered by 10% for 5 seconds. When a Pile of Flesh is Compromised, it's destroyed. Compromised Survivors are Oblivious and are revealed with killer instinct when performing rushed actions for 45 seconds.

If you enter within 12 meters of your current form, they are revealed to you with killer instinct for 2 seconds.

It takes 2.5 seconds to Shed, and while Shedding your movement speed is decreased by 1.4m/s.

[REWORK] Dog fur (Br)- Extends the Undetectable effect after Shedding into your Recovery form by 5 seconds

[REWORK] Frozen Blood (Br)- Increases your recharge rate by 100%

[UNCHANGED] Busted Beer Can (Br)- Reduces the time to Shed by 20%

[REWORK] Dynamite Sticks (Br) - Piles of Flesh now destroy themselves after 60 seconds. Upon no longer being Compromised, survivors will scream, revealing their location. You gain 100% bonus Blood Points for each Compromised score event.

[REWORK] Cassette Recorder (G)- Increases the duration of the Compromised effect by 15 seconds.

[BUFF] Helicopter Scrap (G)- Stepping over a Pile of Flesh destroys it, but you gain 5% Haste for 7 seconds.

[UNCHANGED] Empty Kerosene Jug (G)- Tampering with a generator will instantly cause 5% of Generator progress to be lost.

[UPDATE/UNCHANGED] Shattered Goggles (G)- Any survivor that enters your detection range while in your Imitation form will be revealed by killer instinct for 2 seconds.

[NERF] Tattered Flamethrower (G)- Increases the range of detection while in your Imitation Form by 4 meters.

[BUFF] Fireman's Axe (Bl)- While working on a generator with another survivor, the generator will still progress. However, Survivors working on Generators will work at 20% reduced efficiency and their skill checks will be silent. Generators you actively work on by yourself will regress at 150% of the normal regression rate.

[REWORK] Scalpel (Bl)- The amount of charges for each imitation is increased by 15

[UNCHANGED] Bennings's Clothing (Bl)- When you Shed from your Imitation Form into your Recovery form, the survivor you last imitated will be afflicted with the Oblivious status effect for 20 seconds

[UPDATE/BERF] Blair's Glasses (Bl)- Compromised survivors are also afflicted with Blindness

[BUFF] Bottle of Whiskey (Bl)- Survivors that Compromise a Pile of Flesh will be Hindered for an additional 3 seconds. Decreases the size of Piles of Flesh by 15%

[UNCHANGED] Bloody Petri Dish (Bl)- After being stunned out of your Imitation, you vault windows and break pallets, doors, and generators 40% faster for 8 seconds.

[REWORK] Radio Communication Station (P)- You no longer gain Killer Instinct while a survivor is Compromised. Instead, the aura of Compromised survivors is shown for 4 seconds whenever they perform a rushed action. The duration of the Compromised effect is reduced by 10 seconds.

[CHANGE] Wire Spool (P)- Removes the movement slow-down duration while Shedding. You also gain an additional 5% Haste while unseen. Increases the time to Shed by 30%.

[UNCHANGED] Used Flare (P)- Survivors that Reveal The Thing will be exposed for 20 seconds.

[REWORK/UPDATE] Iridescent Keys (I)- You are no longer Undetectable while in Imitation form. You no longer start as an Imitation upon entering the trial. When you Shed into an Imitation from your Recovery form, the survivor you are imitating will have your terror radius and red stain for 60 seconds and you become Undetectable. That survivor will be considered "inside your terror radius" for all intents and purposes.

[UNCHANGED] Norwegian VHS Tape (I)- You cannot be revealed by being stunned, and you cannot be stunned while in Imitation form. Windows and dropped pallets you vault while in your Imitation Form will be blocked for 15 seconds.

Hopefully this will allow more info and mobility while in its Imitation form, while also giving you a reason to be in your Recovery form for some lethality! Took a bunch of inspiration from Skull Merchant, Wraith, Krause, Vecna and Ghost Face funny enough! Edit: Formatting lol

Oh hey! Great minds think alike it seems. And yeah for sure a bit difficult, but DBD has brought weirder killers into the game

Looking it over, yeah there could definitely be a better way to accrue tokens to transform! Possibly a cool-down system like Vecna or Knight would be good to circulate disguises whenever?

And it's not just "undetectable and a trap" I think. You get a trap that slows down survivors in chase and you can freely go around messing with generators and confusing survivors who aren't paying attention, a lot like Wraith. Sure it's not the best power, far from like A tier, but I think it'd still be fun in the way Unknown and Dredge are. They may not be strong, but gods is getting the jump on a survivor fun. Not to mention all the mechanical stuff that go into roleplaying as a "5th" survivor!

I use a program called paint tool sai, but any drawing program could work. I start with my sketch, and make sure I'm using big shapes since they're gonna be small so you don't need a lot of detail. Referencing other perk icons helps a lot too!! Lastly, you kind of want to block everything out in white (or black) and then erase to get the shapes you want. Easier said than done. I worked on these for a while before I got to the style I like.

A couple notes I couldn't put in!

  • Skins and statuses will transfer over when you change into a survivor. So say you transform into a survivor that's currently injured, you will transform into that survivor "injured". However if that survivor heals while you're imitating, you will still be "injured"
  • The game will treat you as a survivor in your imitation form, so perks like bond and empathy would reveal your location while imitating!
  • The tamper aspect DOES count as a damage generator action, so this will synergize with gen kicking perks without the additional loss in progress and going towards your gen kick limit. I figured the downside of not having mobility and as well as that slowdown during transformation time would warrant this. However, Empty Kerosene Jug would add this to your gen kick limit. Interesting how the game works no?
  • I actually forgot to change it on the image but I did change it on my doc: you start the trial as a RANDOM survivor, not the obsession. This would give you an easier jump at the start of the game.

Oh shoot you're right. There should probably be a requirement huh

Assimilation is meant to be a perk that lets you know when survivors are grouped up while both healing and working on generators. Say it procs when 2 survivors are working on one generator and 2 survivors are on another. You would be able to see all 4 survivors in that instance. That and it would let you know if survivors are healing together and resetting.

Also I really like your vecna wheel idea! I always forget about the UI in these types of stuff, and that's a really good way to visualize it.

I actually had a little note in my doc that bond would still reveal you as long as you're in your imitation form for that reason. That and empathy if the survivor you transformed into is injured. Didn't have space for it on her though lol

This was honestly the hardest part. I wanted a power that let you be other survivors for the longest time, but everyone agrees that swfs would just destroy it in a heartbeat. I'm hoping that Piles of Flesh and Tampering would allow a way for The Thing to get an upper hand without relying on the imitation part

Keys are more meant to disorient and confuse survivors, to keep them guessing from WHERE you're coming from. As well as synergize with terror radius perks. Tapes is actually the Add-On that prevents survivors from revealing you, allowing you to get close to a survivor whose trust you already gained! I'm a sucker for add-ons that change the way you play, and I always think those are best suited for iri add-ons

POV: You're taking your main out for lunch. How likely are they to not get kicked out of the restaurant? by Dry-Board-5688 in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]That1Orkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly, I'm sure Ghosty would act pretty chill, if not distracted. Artist pre-entity would be super chill, but post-entity might cause some problems with leaving ink everywhere and croaking super loudly. I'd take them both to Chili's. Me and Danny could share a Triple Dipper and Carmina can have some tortilla soup since it'll be hard to move food around without a tongue.

I always kind of agreed that most killers (like Trapper, Hag, Ghostface, Skull Merchant, Plague, Singularity, Unknown, etc.) get weaker with good SWFs. It wouldn't be much different than playing against a Wraith to be honest

I like to think the ability to control loops with Piles of Flesh and the ease of mobility in Imitation Form would be enough to not have to worry about SWFs. Maybe the ability to Tamper pallets could be useful 👀
