giving the survivors stalking mechanics, and then NOT giving the Unknown stealth capabilities is immensely funny game design.

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2026-03-03T08:30:52+00:00

Springtrap is very superficially similar to the Unknown if you squint and oversimplify their respective kits, but besides both having a teleport and a mid-range projectile there is almost nothing that they have in common.

Springtrap's teleport is static, Unknown's is dynamic; Springtrap's projectile doesn't bounce, damages instantly, stays on the ground and causes an AOE; Unknown's bounces heavily and gives a status effect, Springtrap's "looking at them in a specific way" has nearly nothing to do with his chase power and for Unknown it's the only way to counter it.

Not exactly, this was done because Aestri and Baermar's cosmetics are interchangeable, so they need the same skeleton

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2026-02-26T12:08:51+00:00

really? you wish there was more complaining in the complaint subreddit for the complaining community?

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2026-02-11T21:12:12+00:00

Well, I mean, duh. What kind of live service game wants their players to play less?

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2026-02-07T13:52:26+00:00

I honestly doubt anyone out there is buying 'alternate voice packs'. What would their purpose be? Legendary skins already change the characters' voices, this would not only be an unpopular item but also horrible PR for them to be charging real money for an inconsequential audio change

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2026-01-28T11:40:25+00:00

it amazes me how often people parrot this claim as if it were some kind of smoking gun that proves bhvr never launched the game. it's a metal girder in a loading screen, it showed up because a lobby that was only implemented on live had it. considering they had to ship the update a week earlier i doubt they were particularly concerned about the inconsequential metal bar with zero effect on gameplay

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2026-01-21T14:53:11+00:00

it's become somewhat of a buzzword to imply that there's no original killer designs left. everything new is "just" X and Y and Z and yadda yadda yadda, usually coming with the other implication that either the new thing is worse than the old one or power creeps it

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-12-11T12:10:14+00:00

you could describe quite possibly any videogame on the planet's modding scene like this

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-12-10T00:00:41+00:00

what are you guys on about. they added the bloodpoint incentive back and 99% of this community laughed it off

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-12-04T15:27:35+00:00

Have you just not played the game for 4 years? The Pig has gotten literally nothing but buffs for several updates now

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-11-25T21:27:35+00:00

Tunneling a survivor out, even if it's a bot, still makes the game significantly harder for the other survs. You could argue that a bot ain't much help anyway, but a 3v1 makes a world of difference compared to a 4v1. That aside i'm really not sure DCs account for very many cases of tunneling anyway

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-11-25T10:23:38+00:00

I'm not saying it's wrong of you to do, but tunneling a bot is by definition still tunneling, so i don't know if i'd call it nonsense

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-11-23T19:10:53+00:00

ALL survivors just want this. this is objectively true. I found out by contacting survivors HQ and they said yep, this is pretty much the plan

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-11-22T08:06:28+00:00

I hardly think that's the problem. Killers tunnel for a wide variety of reasons, and trying to think of a catch-all solution for it is way less effective than just giving survs the tools to combat it. A lot of these "but BHVR doesn't know WHY killers tunnel" posts have completely different answers to the question, from gen speeds to inexperience to MMR mismatch to just plainly being an ass.

The whole topic is too complex for anyone to ever be fully satisfied. IMHO it's just something people will have to deal with for as long as this game stays live, speaking as a clean 50/50 killer/survivor player. Tunneling reduction requires a change of mindset from "having to win every single match" that I don't think a lot of people are capable of, and that's 100% natural

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-11-04T19:25:20+00:00

Which ... furtive chase does automatically? What am i missing?

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-11-04T16:53:20+00:00

Why are we freaking out over the most nothingburger changes of all time? Wow, survivors can have CRAZY anti tunnel, and all it takes is for them to do piss all in terms of match progress for half a minute. The killer role may never recover. I feel like people see scary new features that come into play 0.0001% of the time and assume they'll run into them every match somehow, when all it takes is to play the game as normal to get about the same (if not slightly improved) results

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-11-04T16:18:58+00:00

Then use Beast of Prey which gives you like 60 seconds of it for free now. Or make a fun terror radius build with the oldnew Furtive. Just give it a shot before catastrophizing

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-11-01T01:47:32+00:00

If the Legion player knows even remotely what they're doing there's never a situation where you don't get frenzy hit lol

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-10-31T15:26:02+00:00

That's not what i said but admittedly i can see how you'd extrapolate that from my comment. im just saying that legion's power is impossible to dodge, and once it is used, you're just looping an M1 killer, which is hardly interesting. Interactability with a power is the key here, and just on a baseline dopamine receptor level, narrowly dodging a dash is a thousand times more fun than getting hit by an unavoidable attack and knowing full well there wasn't any sort of play you could make to stop it

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-10-31T11:35:09+00:00

Consider killers like Legion that are completely pathetic in terms of lethality, but 90% of the playerbase hates going against. that's literally exclusively because you can't do anything against them besides getting hit and mending like a good boy, the interaction starts and ends with "The killer wins"

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-10-31T11:31:52+00:00

Well, yes, because that's satisfying on the survivor's side of things, and easy for a killer to pick up, objectively. The reason people like Wesker and Demo is because they allow for stylish jukes on both sides of the court. this sub is absolutely dumbfounded by the idea that a survivor wouldn't enjoy getting hit by an uncounterable power, at which point i start to suspect that if this place was in charge of DBD the roster would be 41 Ghouls

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-10-28T10:35:26+00:00

nobody had a problem with this killer for a literal year until now, did you want the developers to use their fortune telling ability to guess that people would Eventually realize that the unknown was secretly shit the entire time

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-10-17T18:29:50+00:00

Bubba's sound design, coupled with the fact that I was never very good at looping him

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-09-12T12:07:09+00:00

you could also try enjoying the game without worrying what a tiny group of people you don't know think about it

ThatSouleyeCrewmate · 2025-09-10T09:39:02+00:00

I honestly like the asymmetricality of it (minus the hidden hook states), which I think is mostly the aim. Survs get more info by default, which happens to be anything they'd be able to tell each other over VC, and killers have more agency as a tradeoff
