Old general: First real general edition.

It's not. Survivors have to avoid the killer at all costs, whereas the killer has to hunt for them. Everyone has their own objective.

List of pro's and con's:

>Pro:
Niche game, very different from other horror games and the like.
Interesting gameplay as both killer and survivor.
Beta is free to play if you have a little patience and some time.

>Con in beta but not on release, because of beta limitations:
Only one map with four sub-maps.
Only one killer.
You need to constantly level to keep your tools, charms and other consumables in stock.
Perks and bloodweb(levelling) is completely random, which makes both beta unfair.
Item lost on dead, charms are consumed on game.

>Con:
Full of bugs that should already have been fixed.
Repetitive.
Unbalanced.
Can't play with friends in normal matchmaking, need 5 players in a private match to make it fair.
Killer is P2P hosting the game.
Settings aren't adaptable without changing configs that aren't in the right folder anyhow.
Controls aren't adaptable at all.
Payday 2 publishers, no way to know 100% if this game is going full money-jew.
Disconnects by you or the killer deletes your items.
Perks and blood-web(levelling) is completely random, might make the early levels of release unfair.
Levelling to get more tools, charms and other consumables isn't possible in the beta since its capped at level 6.
Some kind of ranking? And balancing, based on games played or average points/game.
Perks, charms, items aren't completely clear, no info, tutorial is minuscule.

>Neutral:
No communication among survivors at all during trial (like VoIP).
Levelling system is strange, some could say pretty damn shit. (Also why does it take two seconds for a new thing to unlock and isn't it instant).

>Summary:
Game has a lot of potential but based on the publishers it's hard to tell if they will fix the issues, bugs and not complete fuck it up and jew it out.


About the VoIP/chat, maybe make this like a small radius and also give the killer access to this.
Please respond with your opinion and if you agree or disagree with my statements.

Second for cute vampire spidergirl entity waifu!

kek that's a lot of effort in one post

It's a lot like Damned, I find. Might be based on it.

gib key

Would you allow the Killer to strike you down so you could be sacrificed to the Entity?

>Please respond with your opinion and if you agree or disagree with my statements.
>Please respond
Here's your (You), bub.

I want shout/whisper quickchat for survivors and VoIP for the killer.
>start chasing a survivor
>blast youtu.be/hU7EHKFNMQg on full volume
>watch them squirm in terror as you go fast(er than them)
>fail miserably because you're a scrub that planted no traps in a shack and they juke your ass all around

Yes, I want to have cute entity babies with the entity!

no, but i wouldnt be opposed to that fate.

She'll implant spider eggs inside you and they'll eat you alive when they hatch. Would you like that, user?

Good man. Make the Killer earn the Entity's favor.

maybe if i outsmart the killer enough times i can become one.

>only 3k players
so will it only have 1k on release?
sad that it's DOA

If The Entity sees fit, you might. Would you offer a sacrifice?

maybe if they hadn't announced DLC as a feature it wouldn't be in the hole it's dug itself.

why the FUCK do publishers think it's ok to charge for DLC when people would RATHER pay for a full game later on?

Because other games do it and that makes it ok, I get it. Fuck, I hate this trend.

>She'll implant spider eggs inside you and they'll eat you alive when they hatch. Would you like that, user?
Well, I'm fookin' dead anyway so might as well embrace it.

only doomguy could stop me.

If you want to be a killer, first you have to pick a horror stereotype to embody.

Now that would be an interesting battle. Doomguy and The Killer in a fist fight for our souls. If we don't die in the crossfire...

>If you want to be a killer, first you have to pick a horror stereotype to embody.
>pick a horror stereotype to embody
CHEAP JUMPSCARES!!!

You have become The Shapeshifter. You will transform into those you kill.

The Entity is a stupid name.

Shoulda called it The Arachtus or Tarantus

How would I go about getting Beta access to the game? If I buy the base game, do I get beta keys to give to people on my friends, or is that just for the deluxe edition?

i dont watch enough horror movies to be able to pick one. the closest i could get is crazy doctor but thats only because of my love for death metal and death metals love for insane medical doctors.

oh no, doomguy would win it wouldnt even be a fight.

Buying the base game is preordering.
Buying the delux game is preordering.

Don't do that.

delux edition gives you beta access

What if he fought the Wraith, with its ability to go invisible?

deluxe gives 3 keys, two if you use one. there should be a beta link on the website after 6pm your time. send the link to three firends and you all get keys.

>Those names
user...

>forgetting about spectres.

Imagine you have a survivor caught in a trap right past the exit door and suddenly Doomguy drops between you two. How do you proceed?

So buy deluxe then refund?

when will someone draw the killer as nyoro~n chibi accidentally stepping into his own trap by accident after getting distracted by a survivor?

Anyone else want a Shapeshifter killer? One who takes the form of the survivor as they're killed?

Taking the form of another survivors is cheapened by the fact that more then one person can play the same character.

anyone got any saveme links?
need one for a friend

It's only 3k players because it didn't even release properly yet and you can't get a key without doing some retarded arg. As of now it's only getting popular on mainstream youtube.

Also I would rather have a small but skilled and dedicated playerbase devs nerf toolboxes pls than it being a scrub shitfest that only makes you frustrated as you play, not to the abysmal point of Evolve though.

I don't know, buying a game knowing the devs might not support it isn't very appealing too.

DLC fest isn't really a trend, it's just how things are now - more and more people demand AAA 'quality' and, contrary to the popular belief, developing games (especially in 1st world countries) isn't exactly cheap.

From what the devs have said (which may be a jew lie) they will keep supporting and updating the game for free as long as it's a viable economic activity. Let's take a look at Paradox Interactive as an example, a lot of people shit on them for their DLC practices but forget they constantly patch and rebalance the game while adding brand new features for everybody for free as long as people keep buying enough expansions for them to keep afloat.

And Dirty Bomb, which is F2P, has microtransactions for skins and faster progression but it's not P2W and everybody gets updates for free too, regardless whether they spent a dime or not.

So I guess what I'm trying to say that it all depends on whether the devs will go full jew and shoot themselves in the foot or be somewhat reasonable and make the game more enjoyable for everybody while earning some bucks on the side. I mean the game isn't $60 so it won't be a straight up scam like Evolve was but it can go either way, really.

so the game is now 20% off on steam, it almost seems like they are trying to bait people to buy it, still im tempted.. what do you think /dbdg/? Is it worth it or will the developers go full jew after release

>transforming into pornstache Dwight
I'm conflicted.

I don't know, I kinda rather a large playerbase with a lot of scrubs
i had a 100% winrate on goliath in evolve betas

Yeah, but when you're a survivor and your teammates suck anus it's not exactly a satisfying experience.

>DLC fest isn't really a trend, it's just how things are now
That doesn't make it ok in the slightest. At a certain point, paying more for more content becomes troublesome.

You pay money for a computer used to play games that you pay money for to get DLC you pay money for.

I watched someone repair five generators and open the door by themselves while their three teammates fucked around. It can be done if you're good enough.

I would wait for the beta to end, the discount is 20% because it's -10% for preordering and -10% because you own Payday 2.

Let's see whether the devs will do/say something new in the coming days.

beta.deadbydaylight.com/saveme/c496f5eabe3763aade7f1322804c0afc

>That doesn't make it ok in the slightest.
I didn't say it was ok, I said it's just how it is today.
And it is like that because the majority has enough disposable income to keep buying overpriced 1s and 0s.
I'm of the old mindset, back when the expansion really was an expansion and not some tacked-on campaign you will beat in 30 minutes and terms like 'collector's', 'exclusive', 'deluxe' and 'premium' weren't used in marketing on a constant basis.
But I'm also a realist and I know there's no point in fighting this shit, the best you can do is vote with your wallet, sadly.

>You pay money for a computer used to play games that you pay money for to get DLC you pay money for.
Well, I don't play games to get DLC but I get what you mean. Bideo James became an industry so all you can really do is take it or leave it, I assume company CEOs and shareholders aren't reading our posts on a korean basket weaving forum.

>Imagine you have a survivor caught in a trap right past the exit door and suddenly Doomguy drops between you two. How do you proceed?
>How do you proceed?
I don't, I'm already hanging on a meathook.

...

How often do they give away beta keys on the site?

I waited 4 hours and didn't get shit.
I would turn on auto updating on this thread and wait for somebody else to post the code, you get the code even if you just help someone.
There was also a thread on steam forums where people posted links, maybe there's a thread on /v/.

>spelling mistakes
I know you made this and it took a lot of time, but you can do better.

I would say its more likely they go jew mode but it is less than $20 (with the discount) so I would take that risk. If it was $20 I would wait. If it was more I wouldn't even consider buying it

Make this OP's pic next thread.

Learn how to play from a seasoned veteran of this week-old game.

Try harder this looks like shit.
Certainly when the game is new use decent OP images instead of memeshittertier.

no need to be a cunt about it

Original ads had typos too.
That and english is not my first language.
Mind pointing out those mistakes tho? I don't see shit.

We may not even survive past release.
Ironic considering the theme of the game, huh?

Trappers hate These*

I'd use repair instead of conservation.

It's a game focused around rounds that only last less than 10 minutes, mostly only 5-8.
It's the learning curve plateaus too early and there's not enough content.
They're touting DLC and skins as a feature, which has never harmed any game ever, right?
Even the L4D2 beta had 2 maps to play on, and had emergent objectives to complete.

DbD DOA

It's a casual game. It's the kind of game you'll play for an hour and then play something else. I don't think their intention is to create a skillful, complex game.

Huh, funny thing, at first I actually wanted to write 'these' but didn't for some reason. Didn't even notice until now.

Also I wanted to use funky words like in those ads.

objectives

$20 is a lot for a jump-in-jump out game.
should be $10-12

is there a full list of killer perks and survivor items and what they do

>It's a game focused around rounds that only last less than 10 minutes, mostly only 5-8.
I might be getting old but I kinda like it, it's more of a 'pick-up-and-play' when I have a moment to play, without having to reserve a large chunk of my time just to play some vidya because I hate leaving mid-game for whatever reason. Also I have to take a piss quite often so games that last ~30 minutes make me, uhhh, lose focus.

>Even the L4D2 beta had 2 maps to play on, and had emergent objectives to complete.
This has procedurally generated maps (and only one theme is in the beta) and it's not like all you have to do in the game is repair generators.

But you're entitled to your own opinion and while I don't want the full game to suck, it probably will.

what about $16

I agree but I would be willing to take the risk with the 20% discount. If there wasn't, I would wait a few weeks after release to decide.

I can see myself playing for at least 40 hours

FXD. Anything else, fellas?

I'm thinking I'm gonna pre order with discount and then sit on it a few days to see what the reviews are like. Worst comes to worst I get two hours of play time and refund.

>conservation
also font/kerning

where's the beta keys so I don't fall into another Damned situation

That's probably the best way

Isn't there like only a couple of days before steam refunds are no longer possible?

It's just going to be L4D2 tryhards and Pay2day git guds followed by script kiddie hackers and DLC.

Its within two weeks of purchase if I'm not mistaken, with 2 or less hours of playtime. There is some wiggle room but thats at the discretion of steam and not guaranteed.

I really hope not, It's been fun so far but that is a major concern of mine, hence why I'm gonna sit on it for a few days.

>P2P multiplayer, killer is the host
>stats/items save is stored locally

they're just incompetent, reminds me of dayz

Could you make one in the style of "and this guy is hooking hot bitches and basicly you're stupid"?

I'd make the learn more red and use a better font but that's about it since you want to keep conservation.

Since the killer takes about a 2 second cooldown to wipe his blade
and it takes about 4 seconds to lift someone up.

if all 4 survivors stuck together, and the killer kept slicing them down, could they theoretically keep getting each other up while the killer slices down one player and another immediately try to help them up?

Are the survivors already in Hell or do they go to Hell when they're sacrificed?

Yeah, no anti-cheat will help with that, they don't even track if the checksum remains the same so hosts can 'mod' their games.

But if I remember correctly, when GTAV came out hackers somehow manipulated stuff even though it was all on R*'s side, probably by sending modified data packets to their servers but still, there is no way to get rid of hackers other than fixing whatever exploits they come up with asap.

hell or limbo since they're repeating the same thing over and over

so how do you get a key off the site? The beta says come back after 6, am I supposed to just leave the window open or what

At least we know they won't do "buy 10 toolboxes for $9.99!" because it's so easy to dupe/edit your items.

I'll make another one then.

Yeah, I could.

I don't think so, I think the killer can slice multiple survivors at once.

>Hell
They're sacrificed to The Entity, which is a transcendental supranatural being with cultic rituals that probably brainwash humans to carry out their bidding towards the ultimate goal of power.

>play against cheeky survivors who unhook and save people from right under my nose using flash lights
>end up fumbling a lot but catching the last 3 survivors and downing them all
>slowly hook them one by one
>apparently one of the survivors was a streamer
>go back and watch the vod
>I step in the double bear trap I set up under one of the hooks
>while I'm putting down a bear trap under a freshly hooked survivors someone comes and unhooks them before my animation is finished
>didn't even notice this in game
pretty funny

>The beta says come back after 6
>am I supposed to just leave the window open or what
>come back after 6
>come back
>after 6

as cool as the lore of this game is, I really dislike this aspect of it. It downplays the thirst for survival and takes away any real hope since they cant really escape/

You're supposed to be there AROUND 6 pm.

30 minutes after 6, I think they stop giving them out for 24 hours

The only winning move is not to play.
Good job, devs.

bummer, not sure what timezone its even supposed to be

It's local time.

Post your killer's code

If it's Pornstache Dwight, he's alright.
I'll be fair and let him out of the field

If it's Sanic speed Meg, my traps will snap her leg.
She'll crawl and bleed for the rest of the game.

If it's "Muh Camo" Jake, He's going on the stake.
The crows make sure this tryhard doesnt leave the park.

If it's Nigress Claudette, it's time to check the closet.
This coward will hang in the basement and I'll bash her until she's no morel

"And the first sacrifice shall be the Lone Wolf, who does not run with a pack and knows no loyalty."

A Meg, a peg
A Dwight, a spike
A Jake, a stake
Claudette, maul it
