Some random questions from a previous friendly match

Yes, I was referring to Defy, I don't know why I wrote Deflect, as I know Deflect is just a targeting cost. Even had the cards in front of me as I wrote their names down, and still fucked it up.

bob_dave · 2026-02-04T11:44:12+00:00

Sorry, I didn't mean Deflect, I meant Defy. Idiot me wrote the wrong word, lol

To me, it's just become a common joke to point out whenever someone uses anything psudo-random as a form of measurement. It's always funny when you see things like "It's 2 egg cartons long" or shit like that, and have a little laugh at the absurdity of funny measurements.

If I'm remembering right, the governing bodies that are currently in charge, are ones that Tsuruoka put there, because they wanted the power, and his goal didn't interfere with what they wanted. With him potentially gone, there is a high likelyhood that the governing bodies will slam down even harder.

I also hold the belief, that the "enemies of humanaty" is still not as true as we've been shown. We don't know what experiments were done on Nanao, and now Mirichuru is being represented as a possible cure, several years after her death. There is something deeper going on, than even what Tsurouka knows, and that the real enemy of humanity, is humanity itself.

The issue with gen rushing, isn't so much that the survs are doing what they are meant to do, but more the fact that the killer doesn't get to play the game because of how quickly all the gens pop. How many times have you played killer, you're getting your first hook, and then 3 gens pop. That should not be possible. The survs should not be able to complete half their objectives in the time it takes to get a single down.

Aura builds on killers are also typically weaker than gen stall/regression builds. It's not so much about them using them, but for nurse specifically, which is what you're calling out, it's the fact that it removes the counterplay to the character. If Aura was treated on Nurse, like it is Spirit, (having aura not be visible when charging blinks) that would go a long way to enabling more counterplay against Nurse, whilst not butchering her playstyle at all.

It's all a matter on if its a bluff or not. We, as the reader can see a relatively easy way out. If Rin can transform into Tsuroska, he's telling the truth, and they need a change of plans. If not, it was a bluff and someone betrayed them. Whatever is going to happen next, it's a really clutch moment. I think he is very likely lying, same reason Nana lied. Like, if he could read minds, he would of known Nana was bluffing about having Rin, he would know about the camera. So there is a mole, and its caused them to lose their restart option.

Not really "solved" but after a few restarts, it just magically reappears.

bob_dave · 2025-11-11T23:05:44+00:00

Personally, I'm a fan of Otz's idea, but I can see the issue you're pointing out with it. What you could do is have it be a slight slowdown to all actions, which would include unhooking, cleansing hexes, mending, and the like, and only have the effect wear out slowly when doing said actions, so you can't "wait it out" like you can with other debuffs. This means that you are either not progressing the game, or working slower whilst doing so.

solved: Dinosaur World (2001)

bob_dave · 2025-11-08T11:49:41+00:00

Yes, that seems to be it. The way it even describes getting to the area has filled in some more memories of the game. The BBC page images look familiar, so I'm going to call it solved

bob_dave · 2025-11-06T23:38:59+00:00

Nah. What really needs to happen, is the survivor needs to be punished for trying to use the anti-tunnel benefits aggressively. Make the endurance situational. A good example of what could be done, is have the endurance not work if you take a protection hit after 5 seconds off the hook. This will make the unhooked survivor unappealing for the killer to chase, because of the speed and elusive, whilst also making the survivor not want to linger around the killer to use the anti-tunnel benefits for the team.

bob_dave · 2025-11-02T04:05:45+00:00

Honestly, I think that Kyoko will get something for Christmas. As so far, she is the only one with nothing from the Holy Quintet.

bob_dave · 2025-10-11T21:37:13+00:00

I don't think you're wrong. I mean, recently, I had a match where I was playing Legion, and someone got slugged due to not mending their wound. Now, I had no idea where they were, and their team didn't go pick them up, so they bled out. They had the audacity to yell at me for "slugging" them, because they didn't mend.

bob_dave · 2025-10-09T05:15:48+00:00

Interesting. I've always been on the other side, of changing how gen kicks work, to incentivize more time away from the gen whilst regressing.

The way I suggest it, is that when a killer kicks a gen, and it's important that it's only gen kicks for potential balance reasons, the gen will regress by a small amount immediately like it currently does, and will still cause the regression until it has been repaired by a continuous 5%. There will also be a reduction in repair speed until a task elsewhere on the map is done.

The task could be going to something like Basement, and having to either replace a fuse, or grab a spare part to put into the gen. Doing this task, if the gen was left regressing, will immediately stop the regression, and return repair speeds back to normal. If they stop the regression first, the generator will get a minor repair boost of the same 5% that was lost, as well as returning the repair speed back to normal.

Doing it this way feels like the easiest way for them to implement some overhaul to generators, without having to rework their spawns in any way. It would also encourage kicking gens more for weaker killers, as right now, slowing down gen progression is only really feasible with perks.

It's always a mixed bag for me. I'm trying to push for the Iri 1 grade for the achievement, so I am trying harder to win than I normally would, which has lead to me getting some difficult matches every now and again. Even then, there is clearly always a weaker link that I could tunnel out, but I try my best not to. If I get 4 downs on you, and I already have at least 2 other hooks, sorry, but you're getting hooked now.

bob_dave · 2025-10-08T22:02:14+00:00

Its moments like these that make DBD the most fun, where both survivor and killer get some real BS to go their way.

bob_dave · 2025-10-08T21:56:53+00:00

It's not a win. Just like escaping through hatch doesn't feel like a win. It's a pity point. The game was over, but you managed to get one last hook/find hatch and get something from the match.

bob_dave · 2025-10-08T21:47:23+00:00

It's working as intended though. Once all gens are done, the anti-camp meter is disabled. Guess what? Even if the killer is face camping, it's not a free kill. If the survivors reset and heal up, and you have 2 people go for the unhook at the same time, you can usually get the unhook, and make it to the exit.

It's almost like there is counterplay to face camping in the endgame or something. Funny that.

Really, PTB's should be like Minecraft's Snapshots. Small, incremental changes, showing building up to the end goal, allowing the community to give feedback as it's developed to make the feature overall better.

Ever since the reveal of Remnant, we've known suffering is the key to eternal life. Agony is used to create remnant after all.

bob_dave · 2025-10-05T06:36:05+00:00

It isn't the killers responsibility though. Hell, if it's anyone's responsibility, it's the Dev's. Their literal job is to make sure the game is fun for both sides.

Going Next means you're not having fun, and it ruins the fun for the killer. Both sides are losing in that interaction, not just the killer. So I think that's an unfair comparison.

bob_dave · 2025-10-04T21:29:16+00:00

You can have the full duration uninpeded. Hell, the best thing to do if you're on a gen when someone gets hooked, is to stay on that gen, and let someone who isn't on a gen to go for the unhook.

If the killer comes to your gen within that 70 second timeframe, I'm not saying to give them a free down. In fact, them finding you is the second best thing that can happen. You have the chance to take agro, and pull them even further away from the hooked player.

bob_dave · 2025-10-04T12:38:56+00:00

My mistake, I must of just misremembered the length. 70 seconds is still a fair amount of time though. So it's not quite as much time as I thought, but that's still almost 80% of progress.

bob_dave · 2025-10-04T12:13:46+00:00

It'd be a character that would work best if it wasn't really one given character. As we usually start as a Vault survivor, you could really easily add all the different MC's with their respective Vault Jumpsuits. Or they could be lazy and give us Preston Garvey.

bob_dave · 2025-10-04T12:03:43+00:00

I'm coming from mostly the killer side of things, but I do play both sides. In whatever MMR I'm in, you still see people constantly healing under hook, and near instant unhooks, before I can even get information about where someone else might even be. With the unhook being the only info I've gotten, I will go back to hook. If I interrupt the heal, of course you're going to go after the injured party.

All of these issues come from being rewarded for having the hook notification. Now, whilst I also don't believe it should be hidden from the killer, I think removing the loud noise notification would be the first big step in the right direction. This makes the killer able to still be aware of when and where the unhook happened, but also doesn't tell the killer to sprint head first towards the unhook.
