>What is Dead By Daylight?
Dead By Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer (1v4) horror-styled game where one player takes on the role of the Killer (that gets punished for killing) and four players take on the role of Survivors (that get rewarded for playing badly). The Survivors' objective is to repair generators in order to power and open exit gates to escape. The Killer's objective is to kill the Survivors.

rockstarva

whats the consensus on the new killer then /assg/?

>zubat
Boring cucknadian with no real personality
>Troon3
Seething killeroid thats bad at the game and cucks out to good players
>Chadzdarva
honorable and non-biased. He doesn't make 100 excuses when he loses like troon3, he tries to see where he went wrong in the match and improve on his faults.

Make sure your watching the people who actually matter :3

Hottake.
In the same way you never respect pallets, You should rarely ever mindgame.

People expect you to and every 50/50 lost is far worse than just playing the tile straight.
Too many killers think mindgaming is the only way to get hits and try to mindgame everything making clowns of themselves.

>>538133386
you didnt mention jund because we know hes the goat right??

It's crazy how are there people who are so braindead about the survivor vs killer thing they cannot see how those changes were bad and just take the revert as a loss because "their side got heard so that's a loss for us"

How does someone get to this point? The point of letting a team in an online game become their entire personality

>>538133579
yeah i play like that too double backing is throwing most of the time, the odd movement fake to bait a pallet drop or to make them greed is good though

>>538133579
You can mindgame as easily as just moonwalking without losing momentum

>>538133618
the game is asymmetrical so people become tribal about it sadly
thing is i doubt devs care about retards opinions theres enough decent people to listen to

>>538133479
>>538133479
>>538133479
non-vandalized thread

>>538133858
thread splitting retard
"wah the thread is called the wrong thing"
grow up

>>538133829
>thing is i doubt devs care about retards opinions
Well the fact that they tried to push that shit in the first place tells you otherwise. They're retards themselves.

>>538133918
somehow this isn't the logic used to make this thread, though

>>538133939
its a valid thing to try to remove tunneling they just did it really badly
at least they had the sense to not go through with the changes but thats what the ptb is for

>>538133386
Kill yourself troonsil

anyone else think artist is a mid tier killer? she used to be strong when dms, deadlock, no way out and hook camping were more meta but her chase is mid

>>538134063
>they just did it really badly
And what does that tell you? Yeah sure they reverted but the fact they tried that in the first place isn't erased just because they took it back.

Someone, or multiple someones, sat at a table, looked at them and thought "yeah that looks good enough to leave the drawing board, let's get it testing on the PTB". Are we going to forget how stupid that is just because they listened to everyone telling them the obvious?

I'm not a goldfish. The devs are retarded.

>>538133918
>the thread is called the wrong thing
that’s trolling/vandalism yes

>>538134249
I rarely play against her, but it feels so random whether the birds injure or just infect.
X but 3 hit killers are generally a bit weaker or have other things to balance it out.
Nemesis has zombies that can be annoying on gens.
Krasue has speed.
Artist only gets a better version of Dredge's return.

>>538134273
i dont take the ptb content too seriously they probably just wanted to try a bunch of shit and see reactions and what people liked and didnt like the devs knew fine well what they were doing

>one match as killer
>survivors obviously cheating
I can't tell about subtle cheating, it's subtle. But why is it that like 19 times out of 20 whenever I see a blatant cheater it's a survivor?

>>538134351
the thread used to be called /assg/ so anyone who changed it to /dbdg/ was trolling I simply rectified the problem

excuse me sweeties this is /assg/ could you talk about other games than dbd please

>>538134585
thats right some of us want to discuss the upcoming halloween game
im soooo hyped bros

>>538134661
yeah how about you dbd troons make your own general if you want to discuss it so much ong

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv3QNjz1mYg
the atmosphere seems so spooky, an asymmetrical horror game with actual horror
i cant wait

>>538134425
If someone does stupid things, they're stupid. It's that simple. A smarter team would have realized at the drawing table that those were bad. Hell, they probably wouldn't even made it beyond someone's passing thought. But people are BHVR thought those were fine, voiced it, got peer approval from fellow devs, got to the drawing table, spent develop time on it, and pushed it to the public.

They did all that on changes that were obviously terrible. That's stupid. It's not a matter of how serious you take the PTB. That is just stupid.

>>538135092
>>538135114
stfu nigga nobody cares about dbd

any other chads playing L4D2 right now?

>>538135140
l4d2 isn't actually an asymm, you play both sides in a round

>>>538135092
>>>538135114 (You)
>stfu nigga nobody cares about dbd
>any other chads playing L4D2 right now?

>>538135234
didn't ask
any chads playing EVOLVE?

>>538135382
nah bro I'm playing tcm with my niggas

>>538133858
Neither thread has a link to the collab mega so they're both vandalized.

>>538135454
make a valid edition

>>538135548
Why?

>>538135572
dunno

i'm new to the game and i've most been playing the wraith what killers should i unlock first?

Yup, this is the thread

>>538135382
Would be if there was an oceania population on the old p2p build, fuck I loved Evolve, proves all of the 'uh asym cant work if the larger team can fight back!' fags wrong to infinity.

>>538135114
>>538135223
OI! Thats my ritual post!

>>538135870
Did you like wraith playstyle? Do you want to play stealthy more or more of that dash thing? Do you want to buy a licenced character (for the gold things) or a orginal one (for the purple things). how much of the purple stuff do you got,

>>538135870
artist and clown for perks
after that it's just vibes, whoever looks the coolest
what do you look for when choosing a character in games?
for example, i like characters that play fundamentals and reward mastery, so i gravitate towards characters like wesker, billy, oni, and huntress

>>538137769
wraith is pretty fun, i tried the hillbilly and the nurse but both of those killers seemed too complicated

>>538137817
yeah i was thinking about getting clown because hes seems pretty fun
the thing i dont like about wraith is it can be hard to play around pallet loops a lot of the time

>>538137965
You could give Freddy Krueger a try, he's got a fun playstyle with projectiles, teleporting around the whole map and turning pallets into grenades.

>>538137965
If you liked the invisibility and stealth aspect with a cool lunge maybe try spirit, she goes invisible and goes super fast before jumping out on a survivor, if you want more stealth focus there is myers ghostface and pig (and onryo but her stealth is bad). Obviusly you can make most killers stealthy if you run undetectable perks (like trail of torment or unforeseen). Honestly I recommend you to watch a killer gameplay before you decide to get him, if you want to try out perks you can test them on bots as you have every perk when against bots
Here is some spirit gameplay from a decent killer player
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG3wu2P07xM

>>538138131
isnt freddy kreuger regarded as pretty bad? i dont care much about tierlists but i'd rather not play a character thats too weak

>>538138080
If you want a strong anti loop character consider clown or doctor, they mess with them hard

>>538138373
>>538138310
>>538138237
>>538138131
>>538138080
>>538137965
>>538137817
stfu dbd niggers this is a l4d2 vs thread

>>538138080
clown's chill
nemesis is my favorite straight-forward anti-loop killer but he can't be bought with grindbux
his whip takes a little finesse to get good results out of but once you get a feel for it and its lingering hitbox he feels really good and consistent, counters loops solidly
you also might like spirit. she's a bit similar to wraith but with much stronger chase potential at the cost of being harder to play

Why are healers so loud, both the medic and the nurse always scream so loud

>>538138373
yeah i was thinking of playing those too because they seem pretty simple and effective
i was also wondering what killers help to learn the fundamentals of the game

>>538138310
He's quite balanced out after his newest rework.
Fun fun fun and skill expression with your pwoer.

>>538138592
>Fundamentals
If you want that better pick a more m1 reliant killers, that dont use their power in chase too often, i used to main nurse so i didint know much looping but then i switched to sadako and had to learn mindgames (only thing sadako gets on chase is being immune to pallets and turning semi invisble, unless its next to a tv then she can TP to it for a speed boost)

>>538138948
Tears, sweat or cum?

>>538139057
yes

>>538138915
ok thats pretty good then i'll look at freddy
>>538138964
so m1 killers are good for fundamentals?
im thinking ill go with clown or doctor

>>538133579
Some tiles take too long if you don't mindgame them
I ain't running a jungle gym for 3 vaults because the survivor has finesse and other crack perks
Mindgames are like respecting pallets, they depend on the skill and the habit of the survivors. Some survivors are greedy and never drop, others predrop every time. Pattern recognition saves a lot of time.

>>538138310
nah he used to be omega dogshit and then just regular dogshit but they reworked him (twice) and made his power actually do stuff. he's not bad

>>538138592
wraith is like the most fundamental killer of the game imo, in the sense that his gameplan is pretty pure and his chases are M1-centric, which is important for a wide breadth of killers in the game
there's a lot of killers that fall into the fundamental umbrella. demogorgon would be my choice if i had to pick one.
doctor and clown can kinda get away with weak fundamentals as their powers lets them more directly force hits. not to discourage you that is, just important to note. can't go wrong with picking characters you wanna play

>>538139258
ok cool thank you for the advice, i think i'll unlock some non licensed killers first

>>538139128
Clown and doctor are good, but players, especially new players find themselves using their power too often, when you play them dont overuse the power as it can actually help the survivors (doctor gets slowed down then tazing and clown slows down when reloading)

>>538139396
god speed and good luck

This balancing flip-flop is just a distraction from the new killer being boring.

Guess we're using this one.
>HOAGH

>Tru3 no longer plays killer

Who am I suppose watch now for killers that don't suck bhvr's dick?

>>538139818
i like her
"interesting" dbd killers are pretty rare desu, the last one we got was larry

>>538140218
I might come back now that BHVR are walking back the changes for the time being

When someone has a active trap they cant bother to go unhook you, so in a situation like this this guy dies on hook, lol

i miss when this game had SOVL

>>538141027
They're being it back later for the next PTB. They haven't given up on the anti tunnel and slug.

>>538140218
Otz is good for mild seething. Hardcore killer poopsockers are awful to watch, you start rooting for the survivors just for something interesting to happen.

>game freezes for like 2 seconds right on a gen skillcheck
>usually doesn't even stutter at all
Am I being sabotaged

>>538142130
i've seen a lot of clips of old dbd and the mood and atmosphere of the game looked much better
not a nostalgia fag whatsoever but the vibe looked much more on point with the game

>>538142340
otz and tru3 are both old boomers who complain about the game and they mostly complain about the exact same thing
one is a laughing stock and the other is a wholesome chungus dbds favourite streamer

hens333 is /ourguy/

>>538144278
it was really something
the game is better in basically every single way now. but the grimy aesthetics, i miss them dearly

>>538144657
sovl

>>538144657
>the game is better in basically every single way now
this is probably the first time I hear someone say something positive about this game on this general

move, there are no other asymmetrical games until Halloween releases and inevitably dies
>>538133479

>>538133479

>>538146034
>made after this one
>less replies
nah

i heard that they shrunk a lot of the maps in the ptb but added more pallets
the crotus prenn maps seemed even more retarded than before
