Had a King Wolfe video pop up in my feed, watched it (mostly because I find the guy amusing)... but boy, you weren't kidding about how fucking fast survivors heal. I found myself going back and forth in the video to time the speed of healing.

I don't play this game. But from what I'm seeing, unless the killer is applying constant pressure, the survivors will recover so quickly wounding them is nigh-irrelevant. Is there any limit to the number of times they can heal/be healed?

No, there isn't. If they're using a medkit then it speeds up the healing for a limited number of uses, but they don't need one to heal in the first place.

Base healing time is ~16 seconds.

The weakest medkit give 35% faster healing, the strongest (non-event) one gives 50%, and that can be increased by up to 25% more with addons, though you'd usually bring ones to make its durability last longer instead.

One of the biggest healing speed perks, botany knowledge, used to come with the downside of making medkits be consumed 20% faster in exchange for healing speed, but they recently removed that downside and buffed the speed bonus from 33% faster to 50%.

Additionally, one of the most recent characters came with another perk that increases healing speed by 50% for each hook state a survivor has lost. You can lose two before the next kills you, so 100% bonus speed at max.

Of course, there's more than that available, if someone wishes to bring it.

Actually this got me thinking about making up Killer ideas for some of the most attractive characters (to me.) here's a couple fun ones. And just a warning before reading this, if you wanted to slap the crap out of me before, you will probably want to disembowel me after this.

THE TRAD WAIFU NINJA PRINCESS
Hinata Hyuga
So basically my idea for her basic attacks would be "Gentle Fist" slaps, but since she's attacking the Internal Organs directly it would just as damaging as the other Killers attacks. One ability I'd give her is throwing Shuriken similarly to how Trickster throws a bunch of knives. She would have a Chakra meter that could build up over time, and from hitting Survivors, etc... once it's high enough she can use Byakugan and track Survivors. She could also use her Chakra to activate her Lion Fist which would down Survivors instantly if she manages to hit them with it.
Also we don't really have a Ninja Killer, and I want one in the game yet so there you go.

THE GOTHIC LOLITA PIRATE GHOST PRINCESS
Perona
Her weapon would be her Parasol, and she would have several abilities that utilize her Devil Fruit. One ability would be to send out her Negative Hollows which would make Survivors depressed if they are hit by them. Maybe the depression could be represented by a mixture of debilitating status effects or broken status? Another ability would be her Mini Hollows that explode, and perhaps she could charge up the ability to make the larger version? She could also have her Astral Projection ability to send out her own Ghost while her actual body sits unconscious. Her Ghost wouldn't be able to use physical attacks, but could float around and use her Hollows.
Same thing as Hinata, I want a Pirate Killer, although I think in the Houndmaster's backstory maybe she was a Pirate?

THE FRENCH TRIPLET BARMAID FANGIRLS
Claudette, Laurette, Paulette
After their beloved died, they've gone off the deep end. Basic attack would be a Beer Mug. You'd control one Girl at a time while the other two sit, and watch to alert you for Survivors. You'd be able to switch between the three so it would sort of work like Charlotte and Victor.

Also I had completely forgotten that they were doing a Walking Dead crossover, but since there's no Killer included I didn't particularly care.

No. You're there to act like an easily defeatable NPC for the survivors. We don't want to program AI and you are cheaper.

The real reason there aren't killer bots is that BM'ing a bot won't give survivors the same dopamine hit. There's already killer AI (as seen in 2v8), but the devs still won't let killers in 1v4 surrender during EGC to be replaced by a bot. Only they can DC for free the moment they go down (while citing the mythical 4-man bleedouts as the excuse). Survivors will throw out emotional copes and tell you to grow a pair, but they will never give you a real, logical reason against killer being able to do the same.

To paraphrase Mandy (developer, fat, possibly diabetic):
"Survivors have no agency when they're down, that's why we gave them an official go-next button the moment they go down. But killers still have agency to do things like force survivors out of the gate while getting BM'd therefore they don't need it."

Funny thing is they added generator regression limit for killer, but no healing limit or any debuff to being injured at all. So survivors are designed to always win the war of attrition in the end. And now they've added a smoke bomb which recharges infinitely every 60 seconds further worsening this problem. There's also a perk to create fragile pallets in case they ran out of real pallets.

Any resource management or strategy on survivor side eventually gets dumbed down for the lowest common denominator while killer strategies are balanced around what one guy once did. For example the the FNAF killer's gate regression perk got nerfed, because a single Singularity player used it well enough to cause seethe.

Fair enough. I shouldn't have jumped the gun. Although I'm surprised it Doug Bradley and not the Transgirl from the recent Hellraiser movie from years ago.

It's the same company that had the whole thing with NFTs. Clive Barker got the rights back and that's why we had the transgirl. They had the IPs of both Hellraiser and Evil Dead. They're the reason we got voice lines in the first place.

The real issue is that you can use botany with medkits. The big downside of the medkit nerfs is healing yourself took 24s because of the 33% self healing penalty, and you could only get 1 heal without charge addons now using botany and a double charge medkit. You can heal yourself faster than the normal 16s, and you can heal 2 times since they removed the penalty to medkit use with botany. Another big factor is resurgence, which, when you're unhooked, your healing bar is already 70% full, making resetting before the killer comes back to hook very easy.

I have a job that I greatly enjoy it's part of the reason why I take a bit to respond sometimes (sorry!). I try to keep up with the Thread, as I check in at least every couple days when I can. This is actually my main way to obtain DBD News now. Also it doesn't take me that much time to keep up with Naruto/Boruto, and One Piece as I got into them back around 2006/2007 when I got into Anime, and I've been keeping up with them religiously since then. Also I forgot a Killer idea that should have been in my last post so here's just one more.

THE HAPPY HOUSEWIFE NEPHILIM PRINCESS (Her Mother is the Demon Queen, her Father is the Pope.)
Aldra

Her main weapon is the Paddle she uses for her Gondolier Job (Which I assume is a reference to the Styx Ferryman) . Her abilities would revolve around her Demonically Possessed Plushies (Belphe and Dogor). She would carry them around (I guess they could hang off her body). And she could switch between using the Mouse which breathes Fire (Could be a short range attack, or longer range Fireballs?), and the Frog which spits out a sort of Acid (Maybe it could work like the Plague's Vomit?). I also would have them able to leave her and attack independently with you controlling them (again like Victor).

I think with the variety of Killers, and abilities in DBD at this point you could make up pretty much any character you can think of into a Killer using a mixture of or altered versions of the already existing Killer abilities.

Before update:
Instant survivor queue, 5-10 minutes for killer

After update:
1-2 minutes survivor queue, near instant killer queue

It's safe to say they crossed the line of bullshit in this update. Apart from the balance changes, there's also numerous huge bugs. Like you can't gain bloodlust, the scratch marks randomly disappear and so on. The game is just fucked. Bugs that were in PTB were not addressed at all. This update was so half-assed and I'm surprised how do license holders even agree to this shit.
