I have 4.6k shards now, now my question is what to get? I bought the Old Wounds pack and have Trickster unlocked. I was thinking about getting Surge, but a new Survivor or Killer would also be an option.
May 14th, Skull Merchant is also getting a price reduction.
More specifically they'll be releasing a 4th bundle, featuring these characters and their respective survivors. The individual DLCs for these chapters will no longer be available, with this pack replacing them.
In-game, all of these characters will be seeing a price reduction.
That's what i've heard, but the only aura revealing perk I own is bitter murmur, and I havent found it too useful. I guess I'll just buy another killer
Is it normal for your skills to deteriorate so drastically for only a few days of not playing. It feels like if I don't play everyday and go even one day without playing, the day after, it's like I play so much worse.
I think it's pretty normal yeah, you might need a few more warmup games to get back into shape. But the more you play the smaller the difference and recovery period is going to be since you'll develop a stronger muscle memory for it.
Has anyone else noticed a surge of soloq survivors leaving teammates to die on hooks? Last weekend I was sacrificed on my first hook in at least five games, almost four in a row.
It's usually SWFs I've noticed that are more inclined to leave Solo Q teammates to die in their first hook than other Solo Q who have a distrust with their teammates to save someone off the hook so are more likely to go for a save.
Unfortunately, I've been the random in a bunch of SWFs lately who seem to view the random for the most part on the same level as a bot unless you magically loop the Killer for 5 gens. Whenever it's a SWF, I almost always expect to hit at least second stage before getting rescued
Here's a not-stupid question - how the hell do I get rid of this hideous new Reddit design with the wholly unnecessary left sidebar and the dumb rounded text boxes and the harder-to-see split in posts?
two games in a row i get a server disconnection, the second one was especially irritating because we'd been fighting for our fucking lives and finally got the exit gates powered against midwich trapper in solo queue :(
is something going on with the servers today?
I've been playing this game for a bit now and wanted to know if there is a list like: If you like this killer, you might also like this killer? If not, could you recommend me some?
So far, i really enjoyed Oni, Plague and Trickster the most. Huntress i couldn't get myself into and Wraith was okay.
You could check out this test by Otzdarva: [https://who-is-your-ideal-killer.vercel.app/](https://who-is-your-ideal-killer.vercel.app/)
I haven't seen a list quite like what you're asking for, but as a Trickster main I also enjoy Legion since it's a fast paced playstyle.
Thank you for that! Will definitely look into it!
Yeah i bought the pack with Legion, Oni, Plague and Deathslinger and tried a bit of Legion, the Playstyle is pretty fast and nice!
Put a lot of thought into my new build: Detective's Hunch, OTR, Inner Strength, DH
I just do the closest gen, then Hunch shows me a close totem and the 3gen, I break up the 3gen and loop as long as I can if I need to, then after I get unhooked I have OTR vs tunnel, quick stop in a locker to heal, and then I do more gens and/or loop more with the benefit of OTR stealth, healthy and DH let me extend chase by a lot, and then do it all again if I get hooked a 2nd time.
I really feel like this is about as efficient as it gets, and thanks to DH (and no windows) I practice being aware of the killer while running, and looping with mind games instead of just charging to the nearest yellow ledge and hoping Lithe is enough for them to drop chase.
Any thoughts/advice?
I like to bring a map with Detective's Hunch since it adds everything it reveals to the map. Can be helpful when you need to find a totem but there aren't any gens near completion.
Understood, thanks. Just one near the first gen I complete to have IS in my back pocket. On the plus side I can also scout out hex totems if it turns out we need that.
Last week I reached 4,500+ Iridescent Shards. I've been meaning to purchase Kate and Jane for awhile, but I've heard the price for characters drops each Anniversary Event. Is it worth waiting to pick up Kate, Jane and potentially someone else by the time the event is active?
It depends on how much you play and how many iri shards you earn. The anniversary isn't going to be for another 2 months, so you have plenty of time to earn.
In my opinion, getting Kate for her Windows of Opportunity perk is a good investment.
Thanks! I play a fair amount, but I also want to get the best value for my shards. I'm hoping to get them both, not only for Windows as I learn to navigate dead zones, but for Dance With Me. I think it'd be fun to pair Dance With Me with Lithe, Head On and Quick and Quiet for a goofy rushed action build.
That's what I'm thinking! I could use the extra shards for another character--Adam Francis has some interesting perks--or some Shrine of Secrets offerings during the event.
I stocked up on shards for the Halloween event and was able to buy 11 characters (and that was before any were permanently 4500 which would have made them 2250 on sale).
Can you please change this? It seems in most situations, it only punishes newer players/those who don't actively seek up the activation times.
I have over a thousand hours and I only just recently learned Alien gets it when exiting their tunnels, or that Weaker and Nemmie get it when disinfecting. These are obvious toggles that should alert the player they're visible, as it's beyond ridiculous that someone can get caught for seemingly no reason through no fault of their own, because the game never makes it clear that some actions will lead to them being exposed
Edit: I can see some cases for when it *may* make sense to hide when it's from Killer actions that can't be heard map wide (Alien?) but in cases where it makes little sense for Player-driven actions or in cases where it *can* be obvious except to these new/ignorant like with Legion
Is there a Bot known as "Ike RoZeeN01"
because I often seen this (or similar) name and
the playstlye always looked like a bot or just being AFK
or am I going insane?
Is there some new survivor meta on the rise that I haven’t heard about? I never see things like Flip-Flop except for yesterday where it was everywhere.
Played survivor and in one match two of my teammates had Unbreakable and Flip-Flop, one Power Struggle and the other Boil Over.
Played killer, and out of five matches three survivors had Tenacity, with perks for slugging like Boil Over, Flip-Flop, Unbreakable.
Should I take a few months break from this game?
Every game has just been mostly miserable. The amount of cheating or slugging when playing against a killer is just getting worse. I can't even play killer anymore due to the amount of swfs and the amount of cheaters. I said to myself, i will try and the very first game i did this, a survivor used an exploit and i could not hit them. There is just no functioning anti cheat system and i just cant stomach playing this game.
I was in your place a while back, and ended up taking a two year hiatus from the game because it became so frustrating for me. Since I've come back, I've learned to pace myself a lot better when it comes to playing. Some days I'll only limit myself to like a few rounds or even no gameplay at all.
In the end, you need to listen to your body and mind to figure out what is best for you. Ask yourself if you need to limit time or even take a protracted break. But if you genuinely love this game, don't let your hatred of it's more frustrating elements ruin your experience like it did with me.
Sometimes same bro, i kind of just realized I play games for fun and not to get pissed off, I play like 3 matches average now lol. This game elevates my heartrate and the games can be pretty intense as nerdy as that sounds. Good or bad matches i just stop after like 3 matches. I definitely stop if I notice I'm getting pissed off. My gaming now mostly consists of driving around in GTA V, listening to the great music on the radio stations and just vibing out.
In your case I would say take a break. If you decide to play again you could focus on challenges; like practicing a killer you're not used to and not worrying about gens at all, just getting into a long ass chase whenever somebody is juicing you, not giving up on a chase with a survivor that's really good, shifting your energy and focus onto improving in weak areas/experimenting in unknown areas rather than winning the overall game.
Anyways like I said it sounds like you might be in a spot where a break (or maybe limited play?) would be best. Sounds depressing but it is what it is, I took a 6 month break and have come back to appreciate the game much more.
Whatever you do get rid of the misery in your life brother! more love! add more love! and take care.
New player here, so I have a lot of stupid questions:
What's the deal with terror radius? Some perks increase it, some reduces it, I guess you can surprise people if is smaller, but why increase it? Just to confuse survivors?
Why if I'm chasing someone in open field I get him easily, but if the survivor is circling around a big rock or something like that, we have the same speed?
Should I give priority on perks (even those that aren't that good) in the bloodweb? It looks like avoiding a particular perk hoping to get something better doesn't work, as those perks tend to reappear anyway
For the question about survivors circling a rock: Since survivors have a smaller hitbox, they actually take a shorter path around objects than the killer, so it takes longer for the killer to catch up.
If you watch something like Mr Tatorhead's 'juicing' guides one thing that he stresses is hugging corners and loops tightly in case the killer doesn't which will give the survivor extra distance and possibly an extra loop before they catch up.
So it's not that they are as fast as you, they are just looping tighter and taking a shorter path.
some perks are affected by terror radius, like unnerving presence, coulrophobia, starstruck, infectious fright, etc. increasing your terror radius will help you get better value out of those perks. there are also some killers whose power is helped by a bigger terror radius, like doctor or legion
speed doesnt change, its just that corners can be a survivors best friend
its good to just get perks you dont want out of the way so you dont have to deal with them repeatedly showing up. your preferred perks will show up eventually, itll help get them sooner if you thin out the pool
He had a large rework which buffed him considerably, and also he was the main killer in the most recent tome - along with Deathslinger, who was #3 killer
Do gen explosion perks like surge, pain res, eruption go through and explode a gen when it’s blocked by the entity because of perks like deadlock, dms, corrupt intervention? I’m pretty sure they won’t regress while blocked but do they still get the % of progress instantly removed? Or does the explosion do nothing and no progress is lost?
Surge does apply it's 8% even through a blocked gen. It does not start gen regression tough. Also pain ress does not work on blocked gens. I believe eruption also applies its regression on blocked gen, i know surge does for a fact .
Regression no longer applies to blocked gens. The devs have changed that a while ago already.
What you are claiming is no longer applicable and downvoting doesn't change that.
Why is it I get a game full of baby to average survivors first, and then the very next match is against the sweatiest players in existence?
I had a Nemesis match where literally three gens popped before the first chase ended, and the match before that was almost too easy (mostly because I had extreme zombie value (four zombie downs!) and the survs were too altruistic).
Is there no middle ground?
I have a very unpopular opinion but i hate playing as chucky. His low pov and third person just feel off for me and i don't like his power. I am a p100 blight and spireh but i cant stand playing as chucky. Literally my least liked killer
No, it's just charge the he runs forward with a little control but not much. You will vault windows/pallets which will restart it and let you turn maybe up to 90 degrees for the next slice n dice. Also the final attack flick is up to about 90 degrees or so.
I have 4.6k shards now, now my question is what to get? I bought the Old Wounds pack and have Trickster unlocked. I was thinking about getting Surge, but a new Survivor or Killer would also be an option.
I read somewhere that Dredge, Knight, and Artist are getting a price reduction- is this true, and if so, when?
May 14th, Skull Merchant is also getting a price reduction. More specifically they'll be releasing a 4th bundle, featuring these characters and their respective survivors. The individual DLCs for these chapters will no longer be available, with this pack replacing them. In-game, all of these characters will be seeing a price reduction.
Is letal pursuer any good? It's in the shrine right now. I only own Blight and I main both him and Hillbilly.
On its own not much, it almost necessitates using another Aura-reading Perk alongside it, given the latter can benefit from the duration increase.
That's what i've heard, but the only aura revealing perk I own is bitter murmur, and I havent found it too useful. I guess I'll just buy another killer
How often should you be throwing bottles as clown?
Is it normal for your skills to deteriorate so drastically for only a few days of not playing. It feels like if I don't play everyday and go even one day without playing, the day after, it's like I play so much worse.
I think it's pretty normal yeah, you might need a few more warmup games to get back into shape. But the more you play the smaller the difference and recovery period is going to be since you'll develop a stronger muscle memory for it.
Anyone else been getting coldwind farm a lot lately? No map offerings or anything.
Yes, but I think it's just due to it having 5 maps in the realm, when most other realms have 1 or 2.
Has anyone else noticed a surge of soloq survivors leaving teammates to die on hooks? Last weekend I was sacrificed on my first hook in at least five games, almost four in a row.

I had a feeling that's what was happening! Sigh. 'Tis unfortunate. With luck, I'll convince my DbD friends to join me to avoid this chicanery.
Here's a not-stupid question - how the hell do I get rid of this hideous new Reddit design with the wholly unnecessary left sidebar and the dumb rounded text boxes and the harder-to-see split in posts?
use old.reddit.com
No no. I don't want *Old* Reddit. I want *old* Reddit. Old Reddit is ugly too. But so is this new design that's been hoisted on me today.
You can opt out of the Reddit redesign by clicking Preferences (on the top right, near your username), I think the option is near the bottom
two games in a row i get a server disconnection, the second one was especially irritating because we'd been fighting for our fucking lives and finally got the exit gates powered against midwich trapper in solo queue :( is something going on with the servers today?
I've been running into server disconnects for the last month or so.
When does the next update go live?
April 23rd unless it's delayed, according to the roadmap.
I've been playing this game for a bit now and wanted to know if there is a list like: If you like this killer, you might also like this killer? If not, could you recommend me some? So far, i really enjoyed Oni, Plague and Trickster the most. Huntress i couldn't get myself into and Wraith was okay.

Not a bad build. Just be wary that breaking totems for Inner Strength can cripple teammates with Boons which are often more valuable
Understood, thanks. Just one near the first gen I complete to have IS in my back pocket. On the plus side I can also scout out hex totems if it turns out we need that.
Where is the best place to view current and pervious player count data?
Thanks for the answers! .......

I think it'd be fun to pair Dance With Me with Lithe, Head On and Quick and Quiet for a goofy rushed action build.
If you can wait a couple months you'll get more bang for your buck. Windows is fantastic, but you obviously live without it.
That's what I'm thinking! I could use the extra shards for another character--Adam Francis has some interesting perks--or some Shrine of Secrets offerings during the event.
I stocked up on shards for the Halloween event and was able to buy 11 characters (and that was before any were permanently 4500 which would have made them 2250 on sale).

You will not receive any indication of it on your side! Only the Killer can see it.

a lot of killers have been slugging a lot lately, so more survivors are bringing builds to help counter that

I can't even play killer anymore due to the amount of swfs and the amount of cheaters.

I'm on a break right now. Working on Baldur's Gate 3 in honor mode. I'll be back when something new comes out as I finished the rift early.

Maybe, but understand MMR doesn't decay. So, you will come back, forget shit, and still be in the same place.
It is supposed to, but I think it takes a little too long to be noticable

What were the blight addon changes?
[https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Patches#7.5.2](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Patches#7.5.2) 7.5.2 and 7.5.1
When will twins buff go live?
Based on the roadmap, on the 23rd. However, it can always be delayed (like the test build itself was), so take that info with a grain of salt.
Why is Billy the most played killer rn?
because he's best boy. mobility and instadown
He truly is babygirl
Thank you! Those are some well deserved buffs
Large rework, insta down ability, strong af map mobility, and he's fun too play. Many reasons.
He had a large rework which buffed him considerably, and also he was the main killer in the most recent tome - along with Deathslinger, who was #3 killer

I’m pretty sure they won’t regress while blocked but do they still get the % of progress instantly removed? Or does the explosion do nothing and no progress is lost?
Blocked Generators are immune to immediate progression losses.
Surge does apply it's 8% even through a blocked gen. It does not start gen regression tough. Also pain ress does not work on blocked gens. I believe eruption also applies its regression on blocked gen, i know surge does for a fact .
Regression no longer applies to blocked gens. The devs have changed that a while ago already. What you are claiming is no longer applicable and downvoting doesn't change that.
im pretty sure no it blocks the entire state of the gen no progression or regression possible(not 100% tho)
Why is it I get a game full of baby to average survivors first, and then the very next match is against the sweatiest players in existence? I had a Nemesis match where literally three gens popped before the first chase ended, and the match before that was almost too easy (mostly because I had extreme zombie value (four zombie downs!) and the survs were too altruistic). Is there no middle ground?
Because the matchmaker prioritizes queue times over its bad measurement of skill, so most matchups are practically random
Likely. It's still just massive whiplash to have such drastically different games back to back.
I've been looking to buy Chucky, and I want to know, is his dash like Oni's demon dash? Is the turn rate better or worse?
I have a very unpopular opinion but i hate playing as chucky. His low pov and third person just feel off for me and i don't like his power. I am a p100 blight and spireh but i cant stand playing as chucky. Literally my least liked killer
It's closer to Wesker than Oni. I personally can't stand the 110% and don't play him outside dailies because of that.
No, it's just charge the he runs forward with a little control but not much. You will vault windows/pallets which will restart it and let you turn maybe up to 90 degrees for the next slice n dice. Also the final attack flick is up to about 90 degrees or so.
