Dead by Daylight and other Asymmetric Slasher Games - Discuss the games and the autistic/entitled communities around them


Nice sub 20 FPS.

Edit: it's running at 480P 15 frames per second.

Speculation runs rampant that the new Dying Light -when paired with yet another gen slowdown perk such as Thanataphobia, Corrupt Intervention, Ruin, or Pop Goes the Weasel- actually achieves the impossible and slows the game down to manageable levels for killer. Yes, you will need to run 2 or even 3 perks to achieve this not unless you're using the Nurse but it can be done. You no longer have zero control as to slowing the game down.

How long until Dying Light is nerfed I wonder?

I'd rather they take 3 months to balance the game and fix all the issues. I'm still waiting for the Dying Light fix. Maybe that will happen next week to coincide with the double BP event? I doubt it.

The problem with what you suggest is this: if you introduce any kind of mode that favors the killer in any way or is even balanced then survivors will avoid it like the plague. They get off on being in the power role and a significant number of players see the game as a bully simulator. And the problem of having a 2 killer mode is the same as above. If it's not tilted in their favor they will avoid it. I stumbled upon a thread on the game's reddit defending players ragequitting from the game. And their (Survivor's) logic is that they don't want to play "unfun/unfair" matches which consist of whatever like: Nurse with 3-4 blinks and good perks, Spirit with Prayer Beads, Freddy with Red Paint Brush, the use of Mori's, etc... Completely neglecting how "unfun and unfair" it is to play against survivors all running around with 2nd chance perks, instant heal, Haddonfield map offerings, while playing SWF with mics.

Survivor mains lack any kind of self-awareness.

As to Hide or Die, that's a shame. It had a ton of potential despite the devs being fairly SJW on their Discord. The game is still horrifically unoptomized (yet another recurring issue with these asymmetric horror games) and apparently the gameplay-loop is deemed as "boring." I wouldn't know as I can barely get any matches and the few I did get I had no idea what I was doing thanks to the half-baked tutorial. I mean, once the DbD devs snag Pinhead, Chucky, and eventually Jason (it will happen, they're just waiting for the lawsuit to finish) then that's it. GG's. They win the war of asymmetric horror titles. The only other way a company could compete is something like EA or Activision or Ubisoft and they had a full roster of licensed characters on day 1 AND absolutely killed it with the gameplay.

Survivors will cry no matter what happens, so I think they should just take the risks and try be creative for a while. They might easily hit gold with a new game mode and boost the player base by a decent amount.

The crying shouldn't be too extreme though. If a last man standing mode were to be added, I think it would have to be done like Hide or Die in that a killer is only active for about a minute before the next survivor turns into the killer. Doing anything else would probably result in babies rage quitting 5 seconds into the game when they aren't picked to be the killer for the rest of the match.

I've been meaning to try this, but my demogorg still doesn't have many perks (can't be arsed playing anything else atm in the limited time I have to play). I'm gonna go ham during double BP's to get em all.

I might drop CI though, because it seems to drastically increase the chances of ruin dying early (in my experience at least).
 
I've dropped Ruin completely from most killers I use. Fuck Ruin. I'm so tired of it being randomly found 30 seconds into the match or just happening upon a team that always seem to hit Great skillchecks or just power through it. I now use Corrupt Intervention plus something else like Pop Goes the Weasel.
 
I log into Steam to play because of the Double BP event only to see that I've been banned due to Easy Anti-Cheat... I never cheated once and this fucking POS bans me. I am so fucking mad right now I don't know what to do. These fucking cocksucker developers will never get another dollar from me now. This is horseshit.

I'm waiting to hear back on my ban. Probably won't hear anything until next week if I'm lucky. Great timing because I was going to grind for bp during the event to prestige my Trapper. Anyway, check out the framerate on the Switch port.


Hovering around 25 fps IF you're playing survivor and 20 if you're killer. Around 15 FPS undocked. SMDH. Even better, the reatards still emulate mouse movement on the menu's.

BTW: This is for $40 instead of $20. You do get all of the OC characters unlocked but still, considering that you can grind to buy them for free, it's still a rip-off.
 
anyone know the best ways to get bloodpoints? trying to squeeze as much as possible out of this double weekend.

BBQ plus streamers/cakes for killers.
WGLF plus streams cakes for survivors.

You can ask for farm in prechat, and try to signal farms as killer by hitting a gen with your weapon while carrying.

The customary form is hook everyone twice and allow them to escape, mixed with free pallet stuns, knockdowns and heals. Letting them wiggle off you for free is also acceptable.

This is when I like to bring out the Ebony Mori's.
 
Aside from the intellectual sphincter being glad that I'm banned (still waiting to hear back from the devs btw) there's been rumors stirring that Pennywise is next. Why is that?

The official Twitter followed Stephen King on Twitter.

A balloon was found as an asset in a data dump in the last big update.

The release date of the next chapter coincides with the VOD/Blu release of IT: Chapter Two.

More recently threads on the Reddit and the official forums speculating about Pennywise are being deleted.

People who are subbed to the DbD YT channel claim that a video with the title "Pennywise" appeared and was quickly deleted. Considering how sloppy the devs are when it comes to hiding upcoming characters (see: Ghostface and Ash) then I take this as being all but confirmed. Another huge win for the devs and killing all hope of a rival asymmetric slasher game from ever challenging DbD.

How would Pennywise play? Who knows? Devs seem to be running out of ideas for killer powers what with Ghostface being a variation of Myers (and the Pig with the crouching), revamped Freddy being a take on Hag/Clown's power with a gen teleport and fake pallets ala Doctor, and Demogorgon being a take on Hag/Freddy with the teleports and a lunge taking its cue from Billy's saw.
 
Update(s):

I was apparently banned for "harassment" which was calling people cunts in the post game chat. I only did it a handful of times and it was reserved for, well, cunts. I will not apologize. I didn't tell anyone to kill themselves, didn't say anything racial or homophobic, never stalked anyone or anything autistic. So, just so you all know, don't say anything in the post-game chat. Say absolutely nothing. It doesn't matter just how badly survivors behaved in-game mind you. They can tea-bag and taunt and literally hold the game hostage (by just hiding and refusing to do gens) and not to mention ragequit to their absolute hearts content. That's 100% fine. You can ragequit like a bitch as much as you want but don't you dare call someone a cunt.

But I'm not leaving. This time it's personal.

The Hallowed Blight is happening. The following killers get new outfits: Clown, Plague, Hag, and Spirit. The Nurse is weirdly neglected. I would assume because there's fewer Nurse players.

If it's anything like last year's event you'll have to do a thing to earn a complete costume. Limit to one per killer and one per survivor. The Hallowed Blight costumes from last year will be 25% off so no, you will not be able to grab last year's costumes for free.

The real problem is the simplicity of the game. There are only so many ways that you can interact with the very limited number of variables available.

That and they're cucked by having this mantra that there absolutely cannot be another killer as powerful as Nurse.

Really liking that clown skin. Spirit's is also really nice, and it kinda reminds me of a Yokai (the one's from japanese mythology, not the waifubait from touhou).

Shame these skins make killers glow like the CIA, because I'd run at least one of them otherwise.

Weird change I noticed with the latest update that added dedicated servers on to the Steam version: you can no longer hit survivors on the hook. I noticed this when playing as Leatherface and being unable to hit the hooked survivor as a I chainsawed the rescuer. Which in turn is a nerf to Leatherface because his main strength is that he's amazing at punishing hook rescues and that's about it.

Just a bizarre out of the blue change that makes you wonder if it's intentional or not. Hitting survivors on the hook is one of the only ways killers can troll them back, it's one of the most deliberate "fuck you" messages in the game. Only other things you can do now to troll them back would be face camping without there being obvious surivors waiting nearby, bodyblocking a survivor so they can't move and going AFK, and just letting them bleed out but many survivors will do this deliberately to Jew you out of points you'd get from hooking them.

Meanwhile survivors are allowed to do virtually whatever they want in the pursuit of trolling.

Skip to 5:20 for hilarious loops you probably can only beat with Spirit mindgames or Nurse. Fun and interactive btw

A hag running scarred hand or an armed trapper could also place a trap to force them off of the loop. It's weird how nobody's noticed this problem in the 2+ years Lery's has been out.

According to the 'gorgon at the end, he was bumping into apparently nothing which kept slowing him down during the chase even at bloodlust 3. Don't think I've experienced that bug myself but it wouldn't surprise me considering DbD is more of a bug than a game.
