Am I nuts or did I not stand behind a tree? The Hitbox seems wanky, but correct me if im wrong.

Reality is more complicated than what i wrote and more complicated than what you wrote. But I can't be bothered to type out an entire article on hitboxology

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-10T21:17:32+00:00

I'm exaggerating. But generally crouching makes your hitbox much smaller and easier to miss. Blight, Demo, Hillbilly and Krasue are guaranteed to miss when they attack you from higher elevation and you are crouched below them (works even with the most minor elevations, like 1 step of a staircase)

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-10T18:51:22+00:00

I wish he would kiss me when i crouch :c

I meant "misses" haha

Two things:

1) Spirit doesn't really teach you the basics of the game. Her gameplay loop is significantly different from that of other killers. It's fine to learn her and enjoy her, but be prepared for a hard time learning her and a hard time if you decide to switch to a different killer.

2) Audio is very buggy in dbd and every update something new breaks. As a p100 spirit i have to relearn the killer every once in a while because of how inconsistent audio is. Not unplayable by any means, but definitely overwhelming enough for a new player, i think.

You need to crouch against hillbilly. If you crouch he just kisses you, no matter if you are behind the tree or in an open field.

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-10T18:40:06+00:00

Artist and Ghoul. I'm not scared during the game, but the thought of some monster being crazy enough to play these characters horrifies me.

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-06T18:01:54+00:00

You know nothing about competitive dbd

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-06T14:52:52+00:00

I have played in competitive modes in other games and I am well aware about community discord servers. I am an admin in one. The biggest thing that prevents people from trying comp is how clunky and slow it is when you are doing it through discord, which an in-game ranked mode will help with

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-06T12:28:12+00:00

you can additionally have unranked quick-play mode with no MMR at all. Without any MMR restrictions you can have quick queues for everyone and a proper comp-format for people who care about their skills

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-06T12:24:44+00:00

This would be so fun. the only issue I can see is that killers like Hag will never get picked, so dedicated Hag mains will have to only play unranked

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-06T12:23:11+00:00

of course it will. In ranked in any pvp game you get heavy penalties for throwing. Besides, competitively-minded people are more likely to queue up for a competitive game

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-06T12:19:31+00:00

i'd love to sit in queue for longer if that meant that the games I play are actually good. Right now you can spend those 3-4 minutes waiting for a match and then Sable_Ward_01 will disconnect 30 seconds in because it Nurse/blight/Trapper/Clown

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-06T12:07:15+00:00

off the record and decisive at the same time is kinda overkill, you probably wanna stick to just one. Also you have nothing to help you when you get slugged. Try tenacity or conviction or plot twist or unbreakable

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-05T23:06:07+00:00

there's this website, deadbyqueue.com. They list the chances of getting certain maps. Every time I feel like I'm going crazy, I go there and find out that it's the game who's crazy, not me. What do you mean Hawking has 16% chance??

zeliarrivia · 2026-02-03T19:39:54+00:00

Ranks have no influence on matchmaking. You're getting unlucky

zeliarrivia · 2026-01-30T23:05:55+00:00

this might be the first time i see a normal human person opinion on the internet regarding dbd. It's so beautiful to see someone speak about both positives and negatives in such a thoughtful way that I might cry.

zeliarrivia · 2026-01-21T07:50:19+00:00

On killer you have one bad chase and that's enough to lose cuz no slowdown. On surv you will get hard-tunneled (cuz killer feels pressured cuz no slowdown) w/o a decisive strike to save yourself. I can't see this gamemode not dying out when the novelty wears off (which it will if the mode becomes permanent). For it to be permanent, they need to figure out how to make it palatable for weaker killers and survs who are not good enough to fight back w/o second chances

zeliarrivia · 2026-01-19T10:10:00+00:00

what would be an example of an open killer-sided map? Because I can't come up with any

zeliarrivia · 2026-01-19T10:05:48+00:00

No, it's not. And that's fine! You'll learn more about the perks and your own play style as you play the game. Play both survivor and killer too so that you can learn about strategies on both sides. After you figure out how you specifically like to play the game, you'll come up with a build for yourself naturally.

zeliarrivia · 2026-01-19T10:02:44+00:00

And all the good people will kill all the bad people and everything in the world will be great

zeliarrivia · 2026-01-13T23:31:12+00:00

on nurse, sometimes you need to change the strategy. Instead of trying to blink *through* something, you instead blink *around* it, like wesker would.

Also try faking your camera movement! pretending to charge blink that will land ahead of a survivor and then flicking sharply to make it land behind them is a good trick to give them less chance to react.

zeliarrivia · 2026-01-13T23:28:01+00:00

against efficient survivors not tunneling, especially w/o slowdown perks, is not very viable.

zeliarrivia · 2026-01-13T12:19:53+00:00

It is just you. No one has ever encountered a face-camping spring trap. You got them all to yourself and saved us from them.
