Has a certain fraction of a game you've played been so abused and mistreated that the devs themselves had to issue an apology/slap the wrist of the abusing players? Dead by Daylight has.
What buffs did the killer get to compensate for this?
I don't play DBD but all I know is it has an insanely whiny fanbase which bitches 24/7.
>>719363820I've never played this game, but I've been consider trying to because of the crossover dlc. What is this nonsense about? Are they trying to moralize game balance?
>>719363986if they don't tunnel they get free aura and haste after hooking a different survivor. actual numbers are unknown rn.
Explain it to me like I'm 5.
>>719363820I have never played this game, but occasionally read about it in threads like these. When I first read about tunneling I knew the community was gay as fuck.>Unhooked Survivors gain the following effects for a limited time: >Haste, Endurance, and Elusive (see below) status effects. >No collision with other players (both Killer and Survivor). >Immunity to Killer Instinct and sees the Killer’s aura nearby. >These effects are lost when the affected Survivor perform a Conspicuous Action. >All these effects (except Haste and Endurance) are disabled once all generators are completed. I've never played this and I know this is overpowered bullshit.
>slasher simulator >but you have to treat your victims like they're cute babieswhat the hell?
lol wtf is this shit. Just replace the killer with an AI bot at this point.
>>719364104DbD should have never gotten popular, it's genuinely super fucking lame when you look at it too long>killers don't actually kill, they just put you on a hook for something else to kill you>killers can't even "down" you with one hit without some kind of special move>game is just a really silly game of tag and yakety sax could be playing when the killer gets suck behind a pallet for the 50th time
>>719364271What the fuck is that dev note? Bunch of pussies developers.
>>719364081More killer kneecapping, might as well go sit in a corner and ignore the survivors if you're unlucky enough to get matched as one
don't care, i'm still tunneling
>>719363820Too many people freaking out. The only really bad change is stopping gen regression after a survivor dies, everything else seems fine.
>>719364098Cat and mouse game between balancing killers and survive (with friends) vs survive (w/o friends)I don't think the game works fundamentally without sacrificing one of the last two but w/eCamping and slugging were natural direct responses to how op survive with friends is but completely sucks the fun out of the game for the 1 friend who basically doesn't get to play while the other 2/3 dab on the killer
are these literal real patch notes, what in the fuck?!
the people who still play this game must be massive faggots
I AM NOT OKAY WITH THESE CHANGES AS EITHER SIDE.>survivors are not toys or punching bagsWtf this is literally the point of the game.>no collision for unhooked survivorsThis is retarded because a good squad can easily abuse this to bodyblock a killer, but the killer can not bodyblock the survivor he's chasing. Retarded and unfair and can make it impossible to get a kill if the survivors take turns blocking and using 2nd chance perks like dead hard.>slugging changesGetting slugged is annoying but they basically just gave free tenacity and unbreakable to every single survivor. But what boost does the killer have to compensate for this? A slight haste boost after a second unique hook? >tunneling changesCamping and tunneling is the only viable strategy for certain killers when going up against a good team of survivors.Now they prevent you from damaging generators if you tunnel? What the fuck mane.
Camping and slugging wouldn't be things if the killers could actually fucking kill youThe game is way too pussy about giving the killer the power to just kill someone on the spot
>>719364081survivors cried killers killed them so killers got nerfed for the 30000th time.
>>719365734If you could just kill the survivors there wouldn't be a game to play. It'd be a wait in the lobby simulator
>>719364271holy shit this is pathetic
>>719365734Myers can do that with his tombstone item. >Judith's Tombstone>Grants the ability to kill healthy and injured Survivors by your own hands while in Evil Within III.
this is what happens when you have to pander to actual females btwDBD is played almost entirely by femoids now
>>719365854>. It'd be a wait in the lobby simulatorsoooo like every other shitty small-teamslop game
>>719365854No, try actually fucking running away from the killer and paying the price if you get caught. Teleporting bullshit like The Nurse shouldn't exist and killers who actually manage to trap/run down survivors should be rewarded on the spot. Maybe let the killing animation itself be interruptible by a flashlight so you can save someone, but that's it.I have never in my life seen a game of Tag so pussy that you have to drag the fat kid you just tagged (twice) down into your basement and waterboard them before they're out.
>>719363820Holy fuck, the game was already sad in this way ages ago when I played it, now it's just for the pseudo-progressive baby crowd. The only game I played in my entire life where one person (who is the 1 in a 1v4) has to play by an entire unwritten rulebook instead of being ruthless and effective or it is "toxic", despite how the other players already have all the advantages and the obvious theme of the game. I still remember how often survivor players would crash out, just because I would not play along with all the meta bullshit they of course freely abused all the time, like just immediately turning around and doing something else when some faggot tried to bait me to an infinite loop. For some retarded reason most of the survivor players (and the devs apparently) despite being also human being, expected of you to play like a dumb enemy AI that does the same every time.
>>719365612Man, I know (or I hope, because I have no clue how it is now) it's not like that anymore, but I still remember having to slug people not because I wanted to, but because the survivors made it quiet literally physically impossible for me to hook them.
>>719365943not anymore, myers is a dash killer now
>>719366521Are they sure they don't want to change the theme of the game to>happy carebear landwhere plush animals play tag in a whimsy colorful world and they tickle each other when they get caught?
>>719363820Gayest thing I've ever read, the whole point about games like these is to abuse other players, that's the whole game.
This reads like some troon dogshitAlso all fields because is dogshit by niggerlight
I don't understand how this game is as popular as it is. It looks boring as shit to run around like a retard in circles against the killer, throwing down pallets, and then interacting for ages with some generators. Is this some third worlder thing?
>>719367639Survivor is basically only played by women and those who have the mental capacity of women
>>719367639There are two classes of non-gamer gamers, successful normies (gatcha) and fags (dbd, artsy non games) dbd is good for me (a faggot) because nothing in that game matters, there is no win/lose condition and all the rules are made up. Anyone who takes DBD as a competitive game is a retard.
>>719366031trannies too
>>719368313I've got 1700 hours and I take it very seriously. Like my armpits have sweat stains levels of serious.
dead by gaylight fans wont be happy until the killer cant actually do anything
>>719369750>dead by gaylight fans wont be happyyes
This was still the funniest thing about the game
>>719363986lollmao
dbd is already too easy for survivors.>oh you couldn't complete the generators? lol no problem here's a chance for free hatch escape!hatch shouldn't even exist. It's just a failsafe for players who couldn't even complete objectives
I say it every time but this game was only fun shortly after it came out when no one had any idea what they were doing and no one had any meta progression.
>>719363820>oppression That’s the exact feeling the entire game is built for. You are trapped in an arena with a killer you can only temporarily disable and you have to spend long periods of time standing still and making noise to leave. Someone being funneled means you have to compromise between helping others or playing more selfishly and letting someone die so you have a better chance to leave.
>>719373069But that might hurt someones feelings :(
>>719372614PvP games in a nutshell. the modern rush to immediately datamine and number crunch for a meta and youtuberfaggots immediately spreading it quickly sucks the fun out of any game
its hilarious because i never played this but watched "meta" gameplay and its essentially survivors being faggots the whole time so its even funnier they whine enough that the killer bad guy gets to have fun with them
These screenshots are fake, although killers did get nerfed hard.https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/454770/developer-update-august-2025
