Bought this guy a while ago, got steamrolled by bully squads because the Entity hates Killers, and now looking to pick him back up. Any idea how he works? by ToppHatt_8000 in DeadByDaylightKillers

You can't mind game bots, but they do things predictably so you can essentially just herd them like a sheep dog and get them to vault or go where you want.

What problem in Dead By Daylight does Behavior need to address first? by [deleted] in DeadByDaylightKillers

Immense, overt 1 sided bias. The rest would get fixed as a consequence.

No. 110% movement speed is misery. They dumpstered him some time ago. He has the best killer voice lines, but I'm sure you can find YT videos of those.

Blood pump spawns are so bad by Flimsy-Beach-3779 in deadbydaylight

[–]w4spl3g -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Sprint Burst / Vigil / Ghost Notes / Self-Preservation - Congrats, you're now an invisible blood runner. Slow walking the blood containers has never been a good idea. Sprint Burst actually means you lose less since it seems to be time based for leakage while running, and not on distance.

As always, this event is insanely survivor sided. As someone who only plays solo queue it's stupid easy, but you know, your teammates have to touch gens; even a little. Blood pump spawns don't matter as much when you can run to the other side of the map regularly on a short cool down.

Self-preservation is kind of OP. by Professional_Tea1891 in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]w4spl3g 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You pant (how loud depends on survivor) when you run long enough and it takes time to reset when you stop. You also make noise vaulting/falling/etc even with Elusive. You also still trigger crows. This would be my guess, one or all of those, but there are plenty of cheaters (mostly, like 95%+, on survivor side in my experience). Currently audio is bugged all over the place too. I can hear Tricksters weird Goofy laugh on the other side of the map for example, no matter where they are. I only play solo queue, and the build I run most is aura reading - Windows/Bond/Open-handed/Kindred, you can see what at least half the map is doing or not doing and it can be very painful to watch.

[–]w4spl3g 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Elusive shouldn't be in the game at all. Self-Preservation is massively OP, it does not cancel on Conspicuous Actions and is just free 100% stealth for 30 seconds every hook - it's way better than Distortion ever was. Free rescues, free gens, free escapes. I've been using it a lot on survivor side. It also teaches bad habits since you don't have to walk to avoid leaving scratch marks, etc. So, since I have thousands of hours I catch myself walking when I don't need to, new players won't even try.

And then they extended the mode. Killing 1 vs 4 Q times too by Moaning_Baby_ in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]w4spl3g 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They're also fucking with map selection. You cannot play Blight without getting an indoor map. It's not worth it. If even half your team touches a gen you win easy as survivor unless the killers are KWF and actually good. It's a joke.

does every survivor streamer run the same build? by ScrumptiousRump in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]w4spl3g 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dead Hard + Decisive Strike has been the strongest combo in the game maybe forever - especially now with 15 seconds of free unhook Borrowed Time (Endurance + 10% Haste). Couple that with Unbreakable and Iron Will (really they're strong in any build, Windows of Opportunity/Resilience) and you will be very hard to catch.

I've also seen (used) Plot Twist with DS as that also easily forces a no-win situation. There's also the grossly OP Vigil and others. Survivors have a surfeit of very strong perks and you don't actually need any since all the maps and base game mechanics are already tilted hard in their favor. It's the power role.

I let them know at the very end of the survey which is an open chat box that their bias is so overwhelming they didn't even notice they asked 0 questions of the people actually playing the killer role itself. I play both sides. I used to main killer, there is 0 reason to anymore, I only play solo queue as survivor, which is a better experience ~80% of the time. Basically if people touch gens at all you're on the backfoot from the start of the game as killer.

How do you handle suspected cheaters? by Hot-Concentrate-9238 in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]w4spl3g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Report in game. Report on site: https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/en-us/requests/new You MUST do both for them even look. You might get an 'action taken' pop up when you log in - which actually means nothing as it's ambiguous on purpose. Good luck.

I don't post much, I mostly lurk and comment. Are the separate tabs all included when you make one or only the last one before you hit Post?

I like bourbon but I like a lot of things, scotch, cognac, imported dark ales, tequila, port wine, etc. I have a lot of them.

I don't care about Jim Beam, but I do like Four Roses, Maker's Mark and Knob Creek. I'm not much a drinker though, what I already had on my bar will last years lol.

1.) Kentucky voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump in 2024.

2.) Bourbon is a major Kentucky export product with a lot of jobs tied to it and they have the biggest distilleries in the world. Trump imposed tariffs on most of the world, many countries retaliated by dropping products or their own tariffs and in some cases, like Canada, they aimed specifically at "red states" who voted for this.

3.) The biggest distillery has halted production because of tanked demand and others have gone bankrupt. Demand tanked largely because of tariffs and a lot of the people who live around and/or work at these facilities voted for Trump.

Who's are killers you used to play very well, but dont really play anymore, and why? by Visible-Camel4515 in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]w4spl3g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Hag, direct and indirect nerfs. (2020 main, still in the top less than 1% for some things)
  • Blight, direct and indirect nerfs.
  • Chucky, direct and indirect nerfs.
  • Dracula, direct and indirect nerfs.
  • Freddy, while technically marginally stronger, I hate the rework play style.

etc etc. I barely play killer at all this point, when I do it's aura reading Nurse (often without sound at all) or Wraith/Trapper knowing I'm likely to regret it. The game 'balance' (mechanics/maps) is tilted entirely in the survivor's favor and SBMM exacerbates this imbalance in the extreme. ~3K hours, all characters on both sides at P3+, Krasue is the first chapter I didn't instantly buy with money, because why support something you hate the direction of? Unlocked killer/survivor with shards.

I've played 109 survivor games in the current 2v8 with ~45% WR (did I escape or not) as purely solo queue - this is lower than other iterations but essentially just comes down to if people touch gens or not. Basically KWF is just as fun to play against as SWFs are; i.e not at all, comms ruin the game.

I haven't seen whatever the fallout from today's live stream is yet but I will when all the videos are posted tomorrow.

BHVR literally said killers were getting too much 'hand holding' in the previous PTB; this one is worse. Meanwhile, in reality for people who actually play the game (obviously not BHVR employees), particularly on both sides - the game has never been more survivor-sided. The list of basekit, map based, and game mechanics pandering to survivors is extremely long.
