does Behavior even play they're own game?

It's actually insane that they took an idea as cool as getting chased by iconic horror movie monsters,
and reduced it to a game about standing in front of a generator for ninety seconds, no other gameplay (horror-related or not), and all online discourse is complaining about passives giving 0.4% more movespeed instead of 0.6%.

>>719766901
lol that's fucked up, glad I avoided this game

Assymetric horror sounds like such a cool idea but there has never been one (1) game that's actually fun for both sides.

I have never heard a good thing about this game. How do people keep playing it?
The games that make me pissed off have good things I can say about and parts I enjoy, so I have a reason to return to them.

>>719767220
Unironically addiction, that's why people play any terrible game. You get a high when you are winning, no matter how rare that is, and it doesn't matter if you never get a high again because if you get it once you come back for more.

>>719767220
Because there's nothing else quite like it out there, and when it's fun it's REALLY fun
But when it's bad, oh dear god is it bad

Springtrap is the single largest killer they will ever have. Not even Jason can top him. Now that he's out of the way it's all down hill from here.

DBD stopped being good almost a decade ago, why are you still playing it?

>>719766785 (OP)
What in the world is that shit. I guess that's what happens when you let streamers take over your game.
>>719767220
I liked playing it casually as a killer from time to time. It's fun to play the very thematic characters like Myers.

Killer AFK or something?

>>719766785 (OP)
the problem is killer is systematically OP against any group lower than a full team of coordinated survivors. even losing a single survivor is a giant handicap to a team. however, just having a single person that is good at looping is virtually game-breaking as you can completely stall the killer. the other big problem is how fast objectives can be completed with the ridiculous perks and items that you have no shortage of running out of. i get why some of the changes were made because camping the hook and tunneling is nearly a guaranteed win, but they really need to redesign the game from the ground up. get rid of transferring perks between characters, get rid of items so they can actually manage balancing the game.

can't they just make a sequel with normal smooth gameplay already?
i want offline bot matches as well

>>719766901

It's not just that.
Why not swap out the art assets? Why does it have to be the same unity asset-store generator no matter what map you're on? Even minor flavor changes would be leaps and bounds better than the ctrl+c ctrl+v they put out in a game all about crossovers.

no behavior doesnt play their own game.
last time devs were seen playing it was the prerelease of the 2v8 with a bunch of literal who tranny streamers and the devs played killer and it was hard to watch how bad they were

>>719768313
Why does this game need lore? I can understand a small campaign or something that actually involves all the licenses interacting but why do you need an in universe DM?

Why do incels watch/play an extremely progressive videogame?

It’s amazing how out of touch they are

>>719768432
Dunno why you're asking me, but there's oodles of lore in the game
Before the game became more of the horror IP smash bros collab game it is today, I think they were trying to make some kind of evolving narrative going on in the background that you learn bits and pieces of

I don't really get this game.
Why are there two playable sides if the devs only like one of them?

>>719766785 (OP)
Fine for me since I already liked spreading the hooks out so I basically just get big buffs for playing how I already do.

>>719769468
>One side requires one player

>If the first side is weaker, only one person suffers

You see where this is going

>>719770223
But the killer is supposed to be stronger, that's the whole point of the game

>>719768060
he will spend 8 hours a day crying about it but then continue to play the game because he will lose most of his audience if he switches

>>719770223
Just make it PvE if one side is meant to be a sandbag

>>719770157
no buffs. theyre nerfing all the gen perks. so good luck

>>719770502
>>719770760
Yes the killer is supposed to be stronger and no one side isn't supposed to be a sandbag, but that's when things get tricky and it isn't as simple as "make one side stronger/weaker"
The current big issue they're trying to tackle is killers hard focusing one person out of the game and leaving people on the ground and unhooked where they're useless, but that's done because it's the easiest way to control how many survivors are currently active on the map
But that's also done because at higher level play, it's the best/only way a lot of killers can maintain control of the match against high skilled opponents
But said tunneling and slugging strategy is also incredibly strong at any skill level, as well as just being easy to do, but queueing up as a survivor only to be killed a few minutes later never feels good so they're trying to find a way to prevent that and to encourage focusing on other survivors while nipping some issues in the bud

Basically it's a weird balance arms race between killers and survivors
One side gets better at completing their objective, the other side then resorts to "unsportsmanlike" tactics so they have a chance to compete
And of course, when the survivors are seen to be in the "weaker" state, you have four people complaining about it over over killer

>>719770978
I run 4 aura perk huntress, and didn't run barbecue as one of those, so I'm basically getting barbecue, pop, and haste for every hook if I play the same way I normally do

>>719771293
The whole gameplay loop is retarded and it's the main reason why the game is broken. When there's nothing to do as a survivor except fix generators on an enclosed map, you don't have any options to improve gameplay.

>>719770760
a sizable amount of survivoids genuinely would not exist if ego wasn't in play
they only play so they can pretend they're the best ever or rage quit the second they go down. Even in the PTB right now there are survivor players who, with full build and a meme of everyone going the same survivor (meaning they're on coms) still alt-f4 the game when they're fucking spotted by the killer, not even when they get hit or go down

no collision is good for killer dumb dumb because they cant body block for other survivors

>>719771568
The problem is, is that the game demands static objective areas that leave the survivors somewhat exposed so that the killer has an idea on where to go to find people
Not sure what other kind of objective they can do besides what they did one year by adding gas cans you had to bring to the generators into the mix

>>719771509
i see you dont play the game

>>719766785 (OP)
lmao hook camping is a free win for the survivors. If you're the player getting camped you should get extra points for making the killer mald that they have to camp your ass.

>>719771760
That's the problem, that's fucking retarded. A better game mode would be a race from point A to B like in L4D, with survivor objectives periodically throughout, as the killer follows

I think the funniest thing about this is that a "tunnelling" Killer is acting in the most natural way a predator acts when encountering a herd. Find the weakest and pick them off.

It's not supposed to be fair.

>>719771903
You're also expecting the devs to have had the foresight of their game becoming much, much, much bigger than they initially anticipated
At the start it worked out fine

Once you realized these games are there just to pander to steamers it’ll make sense to you. I liked Texas chainsaw and never played these type of games before and I saw how it progressively got worse with patches favoring survivors. The amount of “TTV” usernames I saw was unfathomable.

>>719772000
It's been 10 years of the same shit, they've made millions of dollars. They can afford to update the game outside of new models and balance changes

>>719768060
This dude is a fun watch when he's not being a perpetual victim (95% of the time). He's a massive narcissist but is so obviously intent on calling out others for being narcissists and refusing to listen to his "facts and logic" opinions, when he does the exact same thing to everyone else.

If you play DBD you should be thrown against the firing wall
Kill all zoomers

I stopped playing a while ago, I got the game for free doe.

I found survivor to be very boring.

Killer is fun but its the same shit over and over again. Dont know how people can play this game endlessly. It's very boring.

>>719771903
That'd be a nightmare to balance as well as make a whole slew of killers irrelevant given the purely pursuit nature of that kind of game mode
Then there's the issue of survivors looping killers backwards while others run on ahead and spread out, eventually making it impossible for the killer to do anything
You could segregate the different areas with progress only being allowed once objectives are completed, but at that point you're literally back to how the game is played now

Why dont they just get rid of the killer/survivor aesthetic and just make the competitive tag game that they actually want to make?

>>719774178
Because this is more competitive hide and seek

>>719771907

>>719767509

>>719771569
It's really fucked up how sweaty some people get on this. You can pretty much master every survivor mechanics in ~100 hours but you'll have some telling you that uhm actually you're still a beginner at 1000 hours. The game really is not that complicated, all it boils down to is mindgames (every multiplay game has this) and map knowledge/general awareness. No fancy movement mechanics, no aiming, very little ressource management, etc

>>719766785 (OP)
>survivors will cyberbully you if you don't follow their made up rules and let them win
>devs encourage this behavior
What causes this?

The problem is they will never balance the game for both solo and SWF
Solo niggers cry because supposedly their retard teammates drag the game down
Killer niggers cry about SWF because there's barely anything they can do about them
Anyway balancing the game in the way they did is retarded. Imagine making a game about killers and then forcing them to do some autistic shit instead of, you know, killing. Meanwhile survivor retards do nothing but hold M1 all day. And they don't even have to do that anymore to recover from dying state

Every single assymmetrical game makes the same mistake and that's letting the survivors play on coordinated teams, then, trying to balance the game around these coordinated teams.

You fucking can't. Just let them make their own private rooms to play with "friends". And have everyone else play solo queue.

Wow you guys also have the same issues as breakers does, but at least your game is still alive. Ours might EoS by the end of the year.

>>719772746
Tunnels, bro.

Literally every horror movie has the dude reappear out of fucking nowhere. A set of doors or escape routes only usable by the killer that transport him around the map would fix that immediately.

someone should make something like dbd but more like a horror film, generate a script per match based on objectives to "seal" or "banish" or "weaken" the killer for the survivors to do with optional ways for them to escape early
killer gets more points the longer the survivors are forced to adhere to the script
add AI bots that play other characters or something to fill out the script
idk man just something to give both sides an incentive to play longer and have more fun instead of gogogo win win win
that or just make a game where u are a ghost and u win when the other person cries and it requires webcam permissions for survivors to scan for tears

>>719777739

I wish I could but my friends are retards and need to farm bloodpoints and battlepass. Also friend's gf doesn't want to play that much because apparently "I am too good" at this game even when usually I trolled hard while playing private matches with them kek

>>719777616
I'll be honest.
When that Asymetric Monster hunting game(Evolved?) failed, I wrote of the genre completely because in my mind 4v1 games just don't make sense for matchmaking.
It feels like a party gamemode that is part of a bigger game.
So when DBD came out I thought it would flounder too and am still somewhat baffled by it's continued success.

There are a lot of games released that really shouldn't be standalone games.
It's like someone releasing a game that is exclusively VIP extract from Counter Strike.
Maybe I was spoiled by CS1.6 where there were a bunch of well developed community gamemodes and maps or PC modding scene in general during 2000s, but I just find it annoying that devs obviously have systems in place that they could do a lot more with but they are focused on one and only one execution.

:^^)

>>719779519
>just don't make sense for matchmaking.

Forget matchmaking, what about serious competitions with money on the line. Would an Evolve team have 5 players or 4? If it's 4, who would be playing monster? I guess the "best one" on the team, but that's almost unfair because it's like a marathon at that point.

>>719779653
I imagine it would have been a team of 5 with the Monster player being like a goalie.
I completely forgot they were trying to push it as an E-SPORT and that was one of the big things they got mocked over,
In my mind I just remembered a "competitive" focus.
Full price game too, with a season pass and MTX.

That must have been at the very beginning of these Grim Times.

I really don't know much about the game at all. But everything I've ever heard of this game is basically just "you aren't allowed to play that way". Which makes no fucking sense to me at all? Why are they even playing a game with so many "rules" (that aren't actually rules in game at all)? Do they even enjoy it? Someone deviates from the pattern by 1 step and gets maligned by the players and reported and all that shit? Are you serious?

Might as well not even play the game at all.

>>719779653
Who gives a shit about esport? And it doesn't have to strictly be 1v4 as well. I think the genre has a lot of potential, but a big hurdle is making the "survivors" team fun enough that most people will flock to it instead of playing the big cool boss role.
A very cheap way of balancing the roles out a little more would be to integrate a flex queue for people who don't mind playing both I suppose, kinda surprised dbd hasn't done that already.

>>719778225
>>719778368
>>719778507
It just makes no sense. If you're playing survivor surely you should want to be scared. Why give them such ridiculous visibility?

I'm enjoying it just to see the most incompetent dev team of all time.

Imagine being so dumb you can't figure out that, in order to make people do something, you need to make it the most efficient way to play. If you want people to not tunnel? Don't make tunneling the most effective way to win. It's so simple.

>>719779770
You basically have "taboo" ways of playing for both killers and survivors that are seen as distasteful. What will often happens is, if one team does these annoying techs the other team will start doing them as well. For example, against a bully squad who stuns the killer 24/7 and prevent him from hooking, the killer will just start slugging and hard tunneling in response

>>719778831
game is assymmetric so one player is playing warwick while 4 are playing janna and soraka and lulu and nami trying to take towers around the map
this update has made it so that now if you target the weakest of the 4 first you get punished for it; so if you know the nami player can't land a bubble to save her life and try to focus her down right after her teammate revives her she gets to see your location, get bonus resistances, leave no trail and move faster. And if she still goes down after all that again the other 3 players get bonus tower damage for the rest of the game. And also by default all of them now have teleport and revive for free after x amount of deaths.

>For example, against a bully squad who stuns the killer 24/7 and prevent him from hooking, the killer will just start slugging and hard tunneling in response
I mean.. that literally just sounds exactly like how the game is and should work. In Call of Duty you shoot niggas, in an RTS game you scout the map and gather resources, in a MOBA you stay in your lane and do your thing, grouping up when necessary or a call out is made. How is "killing survivors as the killer" not the literal baseline way to play the game?

The more I ever hear about this game just makes it seem even more retarded than the last time I heard anything about it.

>>719779653
pretty sure evolve teams were 5 dudes, four hunters and one monster so you'd just compare times of both teams and declare it that way
it was ridiculous but that's just how these 1v4 style games are, fucking stupid to pretend that its ever possible to be competitive because you can literally never balance that when accounting for player skills

>>719779770
Play the game for a bit as Survivor (especially solo Q) and you will see the difference. Some people just play in a really annoying, unfun way, and when you play Killer it's taboo to play in that way because you're inflicted it on someone else.

>But the game LETS you play that way
Doesn't matter, it's not fun.
>But it's fun for ME
Yeah you're brown, we get it.

>>719766901
I remember trying it early on and being incredibly disappointed it was this instead of a proper game.

I am still quite shocked at how many players DBD has. 76k peak is kinda crazy.

>>719766901
They legit should just remove gens and make the game be chase only (actual fun part of the game)
It should work sort of like Battlemode in Doom Eternal, with best of 7 rounds, so the killer needs to down all 4 four survivors to win a round and the survs win if the roundtimer goes to zero.
Perks should be chosen out of 3 random choices after the end of each round.
Each down the killer adds more time to the round.

Jesus Christ what the fuck

>>719780102
Because getting tunneled/slugged as a survivor while playing normally is incredibly annoying. Wriggling on the ground for minutes like a fucking worm is not fun, getting killed 5 minutes in because the killer only wants your ass is not fun. They completely overnerfed killers over this however

>Live services
>Goes to shit
And I'm suppose to believe these games aren't a scam because....

>>719780553
Obviously, but having things like bullysquads makes it justifiable. Also, let's not forget about the "instastun" flashlights that used to be a thing. In the end both sides end up playing in ways to just piss the other side off.

How was this not a huge scandal? The DBD devs literally humiliated a trans-girl publicly, who then proceeded to kill herself. If Blizzard did something like this, they would have a scandal equal to the sexual harassment scandal they had years ago. But if the DBD devs do this, it gets just memoryholed?

>>719766901
I can't understand why there's no other permanent game types other than the generators. I understand balancing more game types would be a mess but you could always do a clean slate for that mode where each character only has one perk to unlock and make it so you can target specific paid perks or something. It baffles me that the most they can think of is like that giant Oni mode or 2v8.

>>719780928
They basically nerfed the killer's nuclear options while keeping surv's. If they want to dial down slugging and tunneling that's perfectly fine, but they need to do the same with gen rushing and preventing the killer from hooking too easily.

the game needs to be fun for survivors
i don't know what's fun about sitting in front of a generator the entire game
either that or standing on a hook while your teammates are squatting in the nearby bush
glad i don't play slop like this
tcm had the best idea about collecting parts and fixing things, but they fucked it up with the unbalanced fuse exit
it also has proper teamchat, so it sucks seeing a good game like that die out because of developer incompetence and basically people having developed sunk cost for the competitor

>>719767220
sunk cost
plus the players love to be treated like crap

>>719781713
>the game needs to be fun for survivors
But it ain't fun for the killer. In my opinion DbD is one of the most stressful games ever if you decide to play killer.

>>719768443
straight men don't play the game

BHVR must have some awful people on the team.

>>719781541
I usually try to but I can't do anything when I they can't loop well or doing stupid plays. Even when I don't use perks and I tell them to bring stuff like brand new part I still get them downed pretty easily. When we play, or well played, survivors then I am usually the one last standing because I can run and hide well to the point that some killers just give up on me compared to my peers

>>719781458
Nice advertising, but I'm still not buying the game

Asymmetric stealth is some of the most fun gameplay to ever exist. Sadly that's only a tiny percentage of the time you spend in that awful fucking misery-inducing game, I spent over 200 hours chasing that fucking high and hated the majority of it.

>>719781712
>>killer just stays near the hook
You can't even do that anymore, they added anti-camp, so if you stay near a hook for some time survivor can just unhook himself and get 10% (iirc) haste and endurance. What's also stupid is that it fills even if you're on the other floor, so if you hooked a surv on 2nd floor Midwich and you go kick a gen on the 1st floor under them their bar fills up anyway.

>>719787535
Add-on nerfs and hug-tech "fix" killed Blight for me.

>>719789032
Hugtech was a meme, addons are worthless except maybe double speed, which has remained unchanged since release.
Skill issue, dare I say.

>>719772746
It's an easily solved problem. You have periodic points of no return, make the level more linear instead of sprawling, and have a fog a bit behind the killer that instantly downs survivors. You also remove the ability for survivors to just heal themselves forever

"Tunneling" is such a weird concept. Not only is this somehow implies that chasing your enemy is bad but also there are only 4 survivors in this game, one is bound to play worse than the other 3. Why should a killer be punished for his opponent being bad?

>>719766785 (OP)
>nerf to killers who try to win
I'm more surprised it took them this long to do something this stupid. people have been crying since the first beta whenever a killer tries to beat them and the devs decided to listen to the fanbase that wants the game to be a glorified version of tag. modern killers are supposed to remember all these unwritten rules that survivor mains claim make the game more fun for everyone when all they do is give survivors even more advantages than they already have through countless patches buffing the survivor experience. if you ignore these unwritten rules as a killer you risk entire teams reporting and blocking you leading to even longer queue times and potential bans simply because you played a competitive game with the goal of winning.

The survivoid rule book is now law by the devs.

All that's going to happen now is cause all the casual killers to leave the game and the only ones left will become Nurse by GhoulBlight.

>>719793071
>because you played a competitive game with the goal of winning.
The unwritten rules say survivors should always win

Am I the only one who is bothered that they turned the killer that saved their game and is an iconic killer, Michael Myers into a dash slop killer?

I could never play a game so embraced by trannies.

>>719780968
An adult man isn't something that needs to be coddled

>Killer gets buffed

Repeat for 9 years

>>719776742
Its a flaw in the design of the game from the top down. Two simple truths of the game are that "the killer" is more interesting than "the survivor", and the game needs 1 "killer" for every 4 "survivors" in order for a match to fire. In a world where all builds are even in balance most people would queue up as killer simply because more people want to be Jason or Freddy than to be Dwight. The developers are forced to make killer as distasteful as possible and give survivor as many advantages as they possibly can in order for the natural 90/10 killer/survivor split to become a 20/80 killer/survivor split so that queues can actually fire at decent speeds.

>>719768443
There's an obvious joke to be made here about getting to brutally murder gay people but also this update fucking killed killer so I can't even make it now

>>719786162

>>719793864

>>719799121
>anything i don't like is tunnelling
>no i shouldn't be punished for my mistakes the devs should just fuck up the whole game instead of me getting better

>>719799121
Tunneling is still win situation for rest of the survivors because killer is facecamping a single survivor. A real shocker, I know.

>>719778368
Which would work perfectly in first person, because it creates this anxiety and claustrophobia

The game is in an unbearable state, full of disconnects and hackers if you decide to play a certain way
But the opposite is just as bad, one person who loops consistently WILL win the game time and time again over the best killers in the world.
The game is not to be played competatively, but the devs are only updating the game because they initially spent all their funds then got fucked over by licensing and copyright.
Now they're stuck in debt, forever chasing the bag of 'eSports' and pandering to survivors because if the multiplayer aspect is fun then they'll get their friends to join so it means more money. The game has regressed to just a kickstarter at this point to pay off the dev's debts and nothing more.

Did BHVR really make a manananggal killer?

>>719766901
Just play Outcome Memories or Forsaken at this point, DBD is a trash horror asym in comparison to either

If your not fast, slugging or tunneling than you will hear 3 gens pop by the time you get across the map to reach them. Its wild that this company doesn't fucking learn anything from the infinit flashlight to the spectate crash.


Who the fuck thinks this is fun now.

Yeah sorry that i don't like being slugged on the ground for 5 minutes while the killer looks for the last survivor on the map

>unhooked survivors get 10 buffs for no reason
What the fuck?

>>719768060

>>719766785 (OP)
>hook status is hidden from killers
does this not incentivize tunneling or camping because you need to know if they're trying to save the hooked guy or not?

I love how people say they want dbd to be skilled based, but the devs keep hand holding the survivors.

>>719801593
you actually see all hook numbers for survivors now
By hiding hook status they just mean that you can't see if a hooked survivor has been saved or not

has anyone tried that chink mobile game dbd clone identity v?

>>719802006
I think I would rather play DB Breakers

>>719802006

>>719767220
I unironically had tons of fun playing casually as killer. I eventually stopped once I realized the game constantly added new killers, survivors and perks and you had to be aware of every single one of them.

BHVR just needs to let Survivors do gens when hooked, being hooked is so boring for my 5 second attention span.

>>719787039
It was very telling how the DD fanbase reacted to that news with despair.

>>719803069
BHVR just need to get rid of hooks altogether. You get tagged 2 times you die, can exit the match and queue again.

Do it the old fashioned way - Zombies. The fucking zombie mode that used to get modded into old FPS games.
Give the Survivors a shitload of strengths, weapons, traps and mobility or whatever, but they only get one life.
The lone Killer generally has to struggle to get any of them at first, but respawns infinitely / is unkillable, and once he gets a kill, things start to snowball because every dead Survivor becomes another Killer.

>>719804743
>Games Workshop

I'm only familiar with the game from friends playing it, but it sounds like a balancing nightmare.

Couldn't they split the modes with one that has the perks disabled, something like Zero Build in Fortnite? If people don't want to engage with the clusterfuck of a meta, give them an option to do so.

>>719805353
They could, but then queues would be even worse

>>719805494
They need to get rid of MMR and not give a shit.

This would be incredibly boring because it takes individual playstyles away
For killers some perks will drastically change how you play the same killer, for survivors it's even more drastic because there's completely different playstyles based on perks

>>719808129
I genuinely think there's no video game more infuriating than facing a bully squad when just trying to have fun as a killer
Even your entire team throwing in league isn't as bad

>>719809339
At least in League you know the match will be over if your team decided to pass the surrender vote. In DbD bully squads can keep you hostage for a whole hour before the match automatically ends

>>719809339
I can actually have fun if my entire team is throwing. Which says a lot about the state of LoL.

all this shit just so 4 stacks can intentionally get tunneled now so the killer gets punished on purpose
this game from its very inception has been nothing but a 4 way bully simulator

I agree. We should call them what they really are; Whiny faggots.

>>719810862
What will you call it when the survivors end up having to wait 10+ minutes find games?

>>719810980
Hopefully "free" from this dumpster fire of a game.

Killing someone in a game when they dont consent to being killed is a microagression, glad they made it clearer now

I still can't possibly understand how this game is so popular and enduring when it's basically about turning a fucking generator on to the day
Explain.

Can you imagine if all survivors lost a hook state each if the gens were done to quickly.

>>719810980
You can tell that the devs will add killer bots in the future which is why they're adding in all this anti stuff for survivors.

>>719811326
Game is easy to get into and as survivor you get a lot of downtime so you can talk to your viewers while doing a gen.

Other games were complicated which is one of the reason they died like VHS, Evil Dead, and TCM.

>>719766785 (OP)
the game is just fundementally flawed

>>719812996
true

>>719791348
I mean, that usually was the case. Some people would be in a group, usually on Discord, then have someone run around to distract the killer and notifying locations as if they were Seal Team Six
