I hope all my killer bros are closing the lobby if they see a flashlight.

How hard is it to infinite at the suffocation pit window ( the non rng one )? I've never tried it.
Landon Diaz
I've been equipping lightborn 3
it's been OK so far, but I've not had more than one survivor use a flashlight per game so far
Connor Walker
incredibly easy
you literally just run in a circle, vaulting the window
if the killer changes direction, you change too
because of the distance of the walls alongside the vault window, it is literally impossible for the killer to catch you, as long as you change direction when he or she does
don't forget to t-bag ;-)
Jose Long
Na I was just wondering if facecamping this guy was legitimate. Never used infinites so can't tell wether I dun goofd or justified.
Isaac Johnson
Is the base yellow flashlight that strong too? I know I wanted the flashlight to actually be useful other than for farming bold points off bots. And I'm glad it gets used for what it's supposed to be used for now, but they overdid it, they need to tone it down but still make it possible to save people from being carried (not hooked) since that was the whole point of the flashlight to begin with.
Isaac Long
I think I'll just keep dodging and equip a more useful perk. If I get meme'd on once with that shit I'll have to uninstall the game again.

Liam Nelson
I'm starting to hate my fellow survivors more and more this patch. they're all bigger dickheads than they were before and it's just ruining things. I'm calmly walking to the shack basement as the killer leaves it. Dumbass comes sprinting from the direction the killer just went into the basement, unhooks, they both get downed and hooked. Every other game at least this happens. People don't wait for the heartbeat to go away, they don't walk, they don't give a shit they just want points.
They sprint over to try to be mlg with the flashlight during the hook animation and either don't make it in time to save, but make it in time to make the killer stay near the hook, or they somehow can't aim and the same happens.
It makes me not want to run the unhook and altruism boost perks but what else is there that isn't cancer.

This was all the same match A majority of the time, the same guy This is ridiculous
When you got a flashlight or pallet save, it was a fantastic feeling because of how hard it is to get.
Now any youtube kid can do it.
What's the point of hooking anyone when this can happen 100% if the time?

there's a 5% chance Billy's chainsaw will get on fire and explode killing him, use your chainsaw in moderation wisely!
Dominic Collins
When they said that I cried.
If you can use a rock as an infinite it isn't because you're good. It's because the killer is fucking terrible and can't hug the rock properly.

No, I was watching a stream yesterday, they recover that fast. I don't even know if the chains apply to downed recovery speed at this point with how fast they were healing.
Juan Taylor

Robert Rivera
>Implying Insidious is ever useful for anything besides griefing
Perks in this game seem to flip between "worthless" and "must have" with virtually no middle ground.
Why the fuck would I run Monstrous Shrine if it only applies a 10% modifier to the basement hooks?
Why should I use We'll Make It when the killer gets a notification of exactly where I am when I unhook and stopping to heal is basically just hooking myself?
Meanwhile, Self Care basically negates injuries (making Iron Will a wasted slot that could be used for Self Care) and Iron Grip lets you actually take survivors to hooks.
Kevin Ortiz
Any killer complaining is just bad. I'm a rank one killer and I get at least two sacs a game. >B-but muh flashlights >Killers are too retarded to check around a hook before hooking Just admit you want easy wins.

It's never been about it requiring skill, you fucking mong. Hitting rank 1 killer is unbelievably easy.
The problem is that fighting high ranked survivors is not even remotely fun in any discernible way because they have endless swaths of stupid, broken bullshit they can exploit to make your life a living fucking hell and you have to play an incredibly specific way to do even remotely effectively in that you have to prey on the fact that NONE OF THEM are scared of you, NONE OF THEM respect your tools and what you're capable of and they're always going to be suicidally altruistic. The survivors feel zero threat from a 9 foot tall literal monster man.
It's a fucking horrible direction for the game and the devs seem to be 100% fine with it, and, in fact, encourage it.

That wasn't actually even me. I was going to say something to that effect but he did it before me.
But yeah it's never been about killing them. It's totally possible. It's moreso about my enjoyment while doing it and it's rarely ever worth actually bothering.
It doesn't help that most high ranked survivor players are the most foul shitstains I've ever had the displeasure to interact with

I hope people realize that as a Killer main... I WANT to be outplayed. When someone jukes me and I lose them, I'm frustrated, but happy. It's a challenge. It's fun. He's outskilling me and I can improve.
The issue is that right now, juking doesn't matter. Survivors have no fear. They don't NEED to juke when they have mad cheese to throw in the killer's face. Selfheal, Sprint Burst, Infinites, This Flashlight shit and a couple other things make the Killer fear the survivor more than the other way around. The fact that Survivors can stand in front of stairs or doorways and block the killer is retarded.
In what world would Dwight be able to block off The Trapper? The Trapper would push him over and walk past him.
Meanwhile anything good to come to the killer is nerfed. Anything useful or OP is shot in the head while Survivors S T I L L have the same infinites since beta.
I want to be outplayed. It just doesn't actually happen as often as it should. Most Survivors that win are not outplaying me. They're running in circles teabagging while radioing to their friends to finish the last generators.

Doesn't seem to matter, can't get games as both. I think I am just gonna go back to the normal patch.

Nope, did not know, feel bad for that one guy who was in my party.
Did not see any info on this anywhere.

you didn't notice the patch notes announcement?
Sebastian Price
Yes Mori. It is the first name of this guy named Povich. He sends people up into the sky to let the Entity test if they are his biological child.
Nathan Young
You don't have to heal them under the hook, you have 90 seconds of the buff. Just walk (hard I know) away from the hook a bit then heal.
Nicholas Cruz
Switched the regular build but still not finding matches...
Jason Scott
matchmaking is going to take longer but is entirely intentional according to the devs
Ryder Moore
add on that allows you to execute survivors
Oliver Cox
Mori refers to burning a memento mori offering and killing a survivor without a hook
Eli Lee
He probably got his fun pip. So in his mind he won.
Alexander Wilson
I had a Billy surprise me today as I was standing at the pallet. He just completely turned around and started walking backwards towards me. I was so confused that he managed to land a hit on me before I decided to throw down a pallet. God damn amazing.
Alexander Campbell
>running from killer >vault over window with him on my ass >he hits my toesie woesie as I jump through >downed on the OTHER SIDE of the window >next game >running from killer >put pallet down >he swings >I somehow get downed yet I stunned him and the pallet is down
Which one is it starbreeze, DID I jump through the window and escape the killer or did he fucking down me 10 seconds before the animation even played. Did he get stunned by the pallet and I escaped or was he within striking distance on his screen.
Fucking bullshit hit boxes are literally killing everything I enjoy about this game. I'd be fine if the animation played because then i'd know, "alright he got me fair and square" but its not fun when he puts my pinkie or the sole of my shoe as i'm jumping over a fucking window to escape and I get downed ON THE OTHER SIDE
Aaron Edwards
Cancel that, I messed up the duration.
I'm playing in the 10-20 range at the moment, and it isn't too bad.
The catch is, killer perks don't scale like survivor perks do. High level survivors are disproportionately powerful.
Since the game's based on slasher films and the idea of an intimidating killer that's incredibly difficult to defeat, this shift in the balance breaks the tone slightly.
The end result is basically a bunch of participation awards for everyone. The Killer is almost guaranteed to either score a kill or a pip. A survivor player has a roughly 1-in-2 chance of making it out.
I guess Killer player just want more opportunities to KILL, you know? That gives Survivor players more opportunity to actually...survive?
I've had a hell of a time on both ends. Lots of good games. I've had fun. I'm still going to play even post-patch, even if they don't fix the stupid balance. I'll keep playing Killer, even.
Thing is, the game's not living up to its potential. That's why I'm complaining. Hopefully Last Year or F13 will make it work.
Kayden Ramirez
You can dead-angle through the window with your swings, I'm able to do it semi-consistently.
Pallet drops you can hit a survivor mid-animation, they don't go down until the animation finishes.
I hate being that guy, but [s]git gud [/s] if they're that close you're basically fucked. I'd complain more, but window swipes are the only way I can consistently interrupt infinite jukes.
Kayden Bell
Too many perks on both sides are useless.

I keep reading people complaining about matchmaking, about not finding a game, about broken auto-ready system, about OP flashlights, about no killers to play against, etc, etc, etc...
And I'm sitting here all confused, because I don't encounter anything of it! Seriously! I don't have any problems with the game at this point. Even trashtalk from survivors post-game doesn't happen as often as people here describe it.
So, I, without sarcasm, want to genuinely know, if some people of this Veeky Forums community are just overexeggarating things and whining without serious cause? I mean, does anyone beside me is having a great time with the game at this point?
Hunter Jackson
>Veeky Forums community are just overexeggarating things
This has happened since the dawn of Veeky Forums.
Yes the problems are over exaggerated, but at the same time I run into them still. Its much more occasional if you're at level 1. I'm a level 10 killer, and I've only had like 3/20 matches in the past two days where the survivors were spamming infinites and flashlights.
I still have a lot of fun but things could be much better
Elijah Bailey
I dropped all my perks on killer, and now I'm just killing and hooking. I had a dream of 4man kills, now I'm just farming bloodpoints. Any strategy/build that had any sense now sucks.
