Current Events > Does anyone still play Dead by Daylight

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just curious because I got back into it recently. Sadako from The Ring is a pretty fun killer (though I play much more survivor than killer)

bump

I just got back into it hard for the same reason. Sadako is my favorite killer, her kit just works for me. Im working on builds on to make her better.

No one plays it, it's a dead (by daylight) game.

I'll play survivor from time to time when friends invite me. Killer is so boring. I just wish they'd stop making killers that are just annoying to play against or have like 10 parts to their power.

Yeah some of them are fun, some aren't. I play Hag, Plague, Pig, Onryo... I used to play Spirit but haven't felt like it. And will pick up other killers randomly or if I have challenges for them

If you ever want to play lmk; there's a few people on the server that play

No

I play DBD almost every day. Onryo is really fun to play, love teleporting around the map.

Just play killer with a toxic shitbag build and look for bully squads.

Blight

Franklins
Lightborn
Corrupt
Deerstalker

Smack them until they are slugged and let them bleed out without a single hook. Watch how mad they get

Yes I love playing dead by daylight!

I am a toxic entitled survivor who rages when things do not go my way!

Game makes me seethe like no other game ever has

i want to play that game but getting into a match has always taken like 30 mins in my region.

I feel like it's a game where you truly have to get over the idea of "winning." As a survivor or killer. The game has too many random factors that you cannot account for while playing to expect much of anything. But that's why I like it! Every match is different and I have fun just trying my best :)

Really depends on the time of day for me on NA East. Up until like 3pm or so queues are basically instant. After that queues slowly get worse until like 8-9pm when they max out at 5-7 minutes.

Killer queue is faster than survivor queue usually

Too many cheaters.

Is it good on the Switch? Run smoothly?

Is it only multiplayer?

I feel like I've run into a bot survivor once. Cheaters, I haven't seen since the last segment of time I was playing which has to be at least a year ago

usually during the day around 3-6 pm (central time) survivor queues are pretty instant

i don't think the performance is very good on the switch (not entirely sure) and yes it's only multiplayer

Sadako does well with that style as well. Her Ring Drawing add on allows curse Corruption to spread when teammates heal someone who is already cursed. Coupled with her teleports around the map it's possible to keep survivors jockeying about the map until they bleed out.

I honestly think she is weak. Still fun but a weak killer because theres so much downtime on her TVs.

Still find her a much more fun version of the stealth archetype than Wraith though.

i usually have an on again off again relationship with DBD where when I'm on again, I play it pretty consistently for a while.

Right now I'm off again for a while

I agree with this. Maybe make the TVs about 30% faster to turn on after transporting. And maybe have them on at the start of the match.

Maybe her iridescent addon should be made (partly?) base kit... If she hits a survivor within 8 seconds of teleporting, 4 random tvs she's used turn back on

you having balanced landing in your pocket made this so much worse for them lol

I hardly ever run that perk even, tbh. It's just that Tapp is one of 7 survivors I still need to get teachables from and that's the only exhaustion perk I have on him lol

So Im actually watching tutorials on how to evade killers Ive been doing it so wrong for the past 3 years I guess lol

Well, generally if you can get them to give up by safely heading toward the shack that can work. Otherwise people might expect you to know how many times you can do a loop before needing to drop a pallet, or when it's best to just take a hit and disengage to get healed.

The worst thing you can do, and usually at least one person does this in a random game, is drop pallets early when there isn't a real immediate danger. Usually, if they have a few moments, a killer will follow the pre-drop person around to get 2-3 pallets out of the way early.

Of course, if you want to break the mold a bit you could pass on Dead Hard as your exhaustion perk in favor of Lithe. It's a bit more situational, to be sure, but against killers that have to respect loops you can gain enough distance to make them give up.

I dont like Dead Hard anyways

Dead Hard is pretty great lol.

Never said it wasn't. I just don't have the judgement developed to know when to use it. Whereas Lithe I know that I can easily create a ton of distance at a vault, and I don't need to be injured to use it either.

Overcome is pretty cool too, which is why I'm currently leveling Jonah.

God solo queueing in this game is such a shitshow

I play Trickster, Pyramid Head, and Freddy as killer.

Play Quintin, Jill, and Leon as survivors.

Good times with friends every week.
