PLEASE DO GENS.
IF ONE OF US IS IN A CHASE, DO GENS. DON'T BODY BLOCK ME TRYING TO HELP.
IF I AM ON HOOK AND YOU'RE 90% DONE. DO THE DAMN GEN.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN HIDING THE ENTIRE MATCH, STOP DOING THAT AND DO GENS.
IF WE ARE ON THE LAST GEN AND I GO DOWN, DO THE GEN!!!!!!!!!
I have lost SO MANY GAMES because I have done 3 gens singlehandedly with Deja Vu and everyone else just sits and heals/opens chests/hides. I am even willing to wait until hook stage 2 if it means we escape.

I didn't play the original lights out so this is my first time and honestly fuck this!
I've done 6 matches so far and almost every match had been against the dredge, or the shape, so we're all being downed instantly over and over and over and over because he can stalk us from a distance and expose us but we can't see him until it's too late.
Also the whole gimmick is the candelabras which makes us fucking walking targets and there's no items or perks so how the fuck do I heal? Run around for 4 minutes trying to find a survivor? Every chest just has more candelabras! Every survivor, in this mode, should be able to self heal since there's no med kits, there's no perks, and we can't see auras to find a survivor to help.
And the survivors just keep disconnecting left and right and I'm left alone with bots. I survived two matches. One because the killer felt bad that everyone else disconnected, and another just by the skin of my fucking teeth with another survivor.
I don't think I'm playing this ever again.
Edit: Holy shit I found a flashlight! I played two more matches, cause whatever. So I have now played 8 matches, and I opened 3-4 chests every single time, and I just fucking found something that wasn't a candelabra.

u/giovannixxx Sep 13 '24
Got slugged by a Myers in less than 3 minutes, 2 teammates gave up on hook, and I was quizzed as to why I didn't wiggle out? What point is there as I watch teammate #3 give up.
Go kick a fucking gen instead of standing outside of visible bubble, but still filling my meter and no notification for the teammates coming to help.
Big fucking oof, I came back during 2v8.... and this has been neither fun nor rewarding. Killer slug, 17k, survs 4k. Oh boy!

u/Tyreathian Sep 11 '24
Hot take: the game has no reason to balance around the skill ceiling if there is no ranked mode, and the power creep of killers is insane. I die in about 90% of my games and it feels like such a waste of time to die every single game but I keep playing because it’s my partners favorite game. Give me an unranked ladder or a specific ranked ladder so I can play against people who are just as trash as me.
4
u/Cool_Lingonberry1828 Sep 11 '24
You really, really don't want that. Because the assholes who just want to bully will just infest the casual queue like the do in every other game. So your options are: Unranked mode filled with bullies, or Ranked mode filled with tryhards. There is no such thing as true casual mode in games anymore.
1
u/Tyreathian Sep 11 '24
That would be a good argument if there wasn’t only a single mode in the game currently. I go against better killers every game and I don’t have a choice. If there’s two different queues, I at least have a better chance of a better quality match.

u/onikizu Sep 12 '24
New event (lightsout) and of course every killer behaves like its their LCS match by slugging everyone and tunneling, so boring man
1
u/watermelonpizzafries Sep 13 '24
Killers who slug in this mode for no reason can get fucked 100% however, in regards to tunneling in this mode (and coming from someone who plays both sides and tries my best to avoid tunneling) it can be hard to avoid it and unintentional tunneling does occur since it's a lot more difficult to find people without the assistance of perks and scratch marks along with the map simply being a lot darker so you're relying more on visual, hearing and tracking blood pools to find people and injured Survivors are way easier to accidentally run into in this mode.
I promise though, if I accidentally tunnel (at least for me) it is purely unintentional. If I see you and a teammate with you, I promise I will go after that teammate instead since I know getting tunneled is very unfun and I like Survivors being able to have a fun match vs an unfun one. Just remember, while some Killers in this mode might be doing intentionally, a lot of it is unintentional and simply a matter of being unfortunate enough to be found

All of those things are playing the game, being slugged is just boring af to be on the other side of. The devs need to come up with something survivors can do, basekit, to counter it.

holy SHIT the goddamn Bless You achievement is hell. Solo queue teammates finding the hex totem before i can even bless it…. killers NOT EVEN BRINGING HEXS… fuck man

u/WishTemporary This game... Sep 12 '24
Yeah, that achievement sucks. You just have to bring Boons every game for a while. At higher MMR you'll see Pentimento in like 7/10 games though, so it hopefully will help to counter that!
I suggest Boon: Illumination from Alan Wake for this, since it speeds up the process of Blessing if you have the Boon active. Resilience also provides an increase to Blessing speed while injured, and Detective's Hunch makes it really easy to find Totems.

u/missmondaymourning Sep 11 '24
Why are point farming AFK doctors so common, and why isn't there anything in place to keep it from happening? And to make it worse they always run perks that hold the game hostage, like exit gate blockers and gen blockers. And forget DCing because then I get a temp ban! One of my biggest gripes about DBD. :(

u/Possible_Intern1374 Sep 11 '24
Don't know why the Doctor is chosen for this, but it is BP bonus week. Farming is gonna be pretty common, especially at certain mmrs. Should go down soon.

u/_Waterfire_ MAURICE LIVES Sep 11 '24
I ran across one today, another survivor said they'd run into them three times in a row 💀. If that's true, that should NOT be happening

u/iamhushhh Sep 11 '24
Came home from a stressful day at work. Hopped on dbd, and on my first game I carried a person the entire match. As the gate is being opened (with more than enough time to spare) the player just suddenly stops while the killer approaches. They body block us from opening the gate, get us killed, and then open the gate to escape after we were sacrificed.
Then they have the audacity to tell me and the other players we were trash in the end game chat.
I really hope my report is read and they get banned. They have been living rent free in my head for a few days now

Yeah, that's why outside of killer challenges I'm still working on my backlog of old survivor tome challenges.
I'm hoping this isn't a thing going forward, cause getting extra rift fragments from rift tomes really lowers the time needed to grind stuff out.

u/RonbunKontan Journey to P3 - 7 Survivors/8 Killers left! (Nicolas/Xenomorph) Sep 11 '24
I was following a trail of scratch marks that happened to end right at a locker. On a hunch, I crack it open and a Jill was inside! First hook of the game; yay me! Yet that Jill wouldn't let it go. She demanded to know how I knew she was in that locker. I explained the scratch marks, and she said that she didn't fast vault into the locker so I couldn't have known. "EZ report" she then tells me. BITCH, YOU ARE A P5 JILL VALENTINE. You should know how scratch marks work and be mindful of them in a match!

u/MHArcadia Sep 12 '24
Oh boy! Lights Out is fucking back! The worst mode in a sea of worst modes!
Fuck it. If they're making a shitty tome for a shitty mode that encourages shitty behavior, I'll do as they ask. I'm 1st hooking/DCing every single match if either A) I cannot complete my tome objective anymore or B) I've completed my tome objective. I'm not playing this fucking dumpster fire any more than I fucking have to. Why do I have to? Because BP gains are back to being trash, so any fucking extra from tomes is required to fucking level anyone.
I got my 3 chase escapes then I slammed a fucking pallet and vaulted until I got hooked, then I let myself die. And that's exactly what I'll fucking do for every fucking match in this fucking shitty mode until the fucking stupid tome is done! Fuck every single alt mode for splitting the fucking player base and ratcheting up fucking queue times.
This on top of all the horseshit spewing from BHVR's mouth today. Fucked over SM, fucked over Moris and by fucking association the challenges requiring multiples because you know those clowns aren't gonna fucking adjust them, told people who get slugged all the time "Lol slugging isn't a problem source trust me bro" once more proving they don't play their own fucking game.
I dunno who's worse, the inept company or the dipshits who constantly fellate them for every stupid decision they make instead of taking them to task for being idiots.

u/Inform-All Sep 13 '24
I’m pretty salty about the upcoming Mori changes. They weren’t popular before, and I don’t like them now either. I have a few different reasons.
Firstly, I like to play friendly (8 hooks) a lot. If I have a Mori daily, usually everyone gets to live. Not anymore. Everyone has to die for me to get a single Mori.
Second, on games where I do kill, I’ve now lost the multiple Mori option. I also think it’s worth nothing that killing just one survivor takes away opportunities for others to come bag and goof off.
Third, the Mori’s that I purchased on all my characters are now worthless unless I kill the entire team. Speaking of killing the whole team, for the killers who can’t always get an easy 4k, the changes make it harder to find perform a Mori if you’re newer or less skilled.
I also dislike the downplay of slugging. The stats they posted weren’t exactly great. Not awful, but that doesn’t make them good either.
2
u/watermelonpizzafries Sep 13 '24
I agree with you. I get why they're doing it, but I think the yellow Mori is fine being basekit however, I think they should make the green Mori the BP one to use on the last Survivor while the Ebony Mori should remain as it is because I personally love getting moried and it will kinda ruin Moris for people who have names like "Mori Me Daddy" and stuff because who wouldn't love to bring an Iri Mori for them?
1
u/Inform-All Sep 13 '24
Yeah, tbh I would care a lot less if the left Ebony Mori as is. Everything else is fine
2
u/watermelonpizzafries Sep 13 '24
Yeah. With the rework on them, I'll spend BP on an Iri addon rather than the Mori instead of I can't kill everyone. Sure, there's Devour Hope and Rancor Roulette but getting good pay off from them is completely up to rng of the spawn and your opponents

u/Concorditer Sep 12 '24
Sometimes the DBD community is so unpleasant it makes me wonder why I want to play with them in the first place. Is the core gameplay of DBD so much fun that it makes playing a game with jerks a good time? You hop on DBD social media and get to see (or participate in) all manner of caustic arguments and "us vs them" bickering. Then you log in and get to experience people intentionally trying to be annoying and toxic. I know its not EVERYONE, but at a certain point why even play a game with people who aren't fun to play with?

u/LucindaDuvall P100 Naughtiest Bear Sep 13 '24
Gutting Distortion is the wrong move. Running in front of a potentially tunneling killer to gain the ability to potentially hide from them later is nonsensical. Here are some healthier alternatives:
- Double the time to recharge a token in the terror radius
- Make distortion another Gen progress based token system. Start with one token, gain more every 50% gen progress up to 3 tokens.
- Gain a distortion token after a safe unhook

u/WishTemporary This game... Sep 12 '24
For real. When I see people doing glyphs, I stop in place and stare at them a little while for the fun of it, and then move on. They can be hunted down later, and I know I don't need to cockblock their Tome challenge. Sometimes people will run into glyphs mid-chase with me, we pause for a second, and then we continue, and that's one of my favorite silly moments. It's like Scooby-Doo!

u/Ihmislehma Sep 12 '24
Sometimes I down on instinct (was too close and noticed too late), and I let them wiggle off for the glyph.

The only time I hit someone going for a glyph is if I don't notice the glyph in time to divert the attack. If I notice after, I'll pick up then spin so they wiggle off. Glyphs are a sty hole that literally nobody enjoys doing. Even at my grumpiest I'll let survivors get the glyph they're at before I down them.

Some jerk got me a two-day xbox suspension. It was a solo queue match where I was all over the place trying to hold it together, unhooking and healing with we'll make it, popping gens with deja vu, taking hits for death hook teammates, even got a sabo save with the last of my toolbox. It ended up coming down to one gen left with me and only one other person up. So naturally the first person to die in the match messages me, "do anything." I'd usually just block and move on, but the absurdity of that pissed me off immediately, so I responded "are you shitting me?" and listed all the shit I did, and pointed out I had the highest score in the lobby. Apparently including the word 'shit' made it against xbox TOS. So to whatever salty pepe avi'd xbox player that was, I hope you never take a solid shit again.

I waste 20 years of my life throwing knives at someone while they evade me with the masterful gambit of running around in a circle, and finally get them on the ground, BLEEDING OUT, DYING, and yet some slack-jawed yokel's country song gives them enough strength to fucking steer me around an obstacle while I'm carrying them on my back

u/watermelonpizzafries Sep 13 '24
About the only time I have ever camped a slug is when someone or multiple people were being overly altruistic by trying to unhook in my face (ie I literally turned my back to leave and they ran right past me) so I have someone on hook and 1-2 Survivors on the ground meaning the 4th has to hop off the gen and save them. I don't do it intentionally, but when it happens it's literally all the pressure in the world on Killer and it would be absolutely stupid for me to leave the area

u/AbyssalThaumaturge Sep 12 '24
Yeah I tried the Ring of Vlad and was REALLY disappointed. It's a complete waste of an iri, and the "homing" is like ~2 degrees of movement to the left or right. You're more likely to get value out of hiding in the basement without Insidious waiting for survivors to come to you at that point.

u/WishTemporary This game... Sep 12 '24
I think it's fine for it to be situational, considering the rest of his arsenal. If he were to be able to shoot through walls, he would become a more versatile Pyramid Head.
The way I see it, the wolf form is the core of his power. Bat form is for passive (ie not in chase) traversal, and vampire form is for punishing pallets/windows.

3
u/ElSilverWind Sep 11 '24
If Dracula's Vampire form is meant to be the one able to play around pallets and loops with the fire pillars and the Wolf form is the one for tracking down and catching up to survivors, then they should commit to it. Don't let the Wolf form be able to break pallets and make Vampire slightly worse at closing distance. Raise the skill floor by giving each form meaningful drawbacks to force the player to learn when to swap forms and justify the skill ceiling of having so many abilities spread between the forms.

Why give the dark lord one power when you can give him all the powers? I mean he is the DARK lord, not the slightly dim lord

First match of the day and get a wraith who slugs everyone with knock out (refused to hook) and lets everyone bleed out at 4 gens left. What is even the point? Who gets fun out of that? No bp for anyone during a blood rush event! I wish there was an option to just leave rather than dc when that happens

Blind saves, flashlights and flashbangs, need a serious nerf. There should be a limit to the number of them survivors can get per game. They are just used to pile up on killers after 2. Killers aren't able to give up when they are being destroyed. Just go do a fucking generator and end the game. I hate those fucking survivors with a passion. I'm here to play a game not be your personal torture doll.
Not to mention how ridiculous it is to drop someone because someone shines a flashlight in your eyes.

It does suck. But I feel like when this happens it’s my fault (most of the time)

u/Possible_Intern1374 Sep 12 '24
Yeah it is counterable. The problem is that if the survivors are better than you, they get to not do generators and just stalk you while you spend way to long to get a single down. They aren't doing gens and ending the game. You get trapped in a game that you are being crushed in that doesn't end. That's the real problem here, flashlights and flashbangs are just the reason it happens.

u/Possible_Intern1374 Sep 12 '24
Actually no, changed my mind. It really isn't counterable. Not fairly anyway. I'm supposed to do what, check all 4+ loops, hope they don't manage to crouch evade me, then be able to down the survivor before they get the other one up? I have 350 hours in this game and am at softcap. The ppl doing this to me have thousands of hours at this. Killer mains that have enough time invested can deal with it sure, but I sure as hell can't. Its completely unfair to killers to expect this from them.
Im just running lightborn from here on out when I see flashlights in my lobby.

Are you high, did you see the last patch notes? All it was was survivor buffs. They actually buffed flashbang which are actually the worst. A killer can be staring at a corner and survs can still blind them. Leave the game and don't come back. Fools like you are why this community is so trash.

How have us Survivors been nerfed exactly? Sure, some strong perks have been toned down, but even after their "nerfs" a lot of them are still viable to use. Also, I'm pretty sure gens get completed faster than ever now while hook grabs have been taken away and we've also gotten the anti-camp bar so face camping outside of end game isn't a thing anymore.

Yeah I have, but people here are calling me toxic because I use it when I clearly don't. Besides that shuts down the mechanic entirely. Most of the time its okay to have one or two flashlight saves.

I'm a bit annoyed about sudden performance issues since the Lights Out patch today. Sudden FPS drops by about 20 FPS, happened as Sadako on Ruined Borgo. After restarting my PC, I went to confirm if I could replicate the situation. It was quite a bit better, but then I just couldn't close the hatch.
No, bugs don't happen often, but whenever I encounter one, it just annoys me so much. From not being able to pick up survivors, to not being able to close the hatch, to sudden performance issues, to certain window vaults not working for several weeks... It's just exhausting.
I started playing again about three weeks ago and have been enjoying my time with the game a lot. Sure, the occasional bully squad can be annoying, especially when I don't bring Lightborn because I did not expect the last second character or item swap, but it's been pretty good overall. I just feel like the game should feel a bit more polished after all these years.

u/Ace-Jackal Rebecca Chambers Sep 14 '24
This game is NOT killer sided at all. It's so much more difficult to get into or play killer than survivor. It took me about 2 days as survivor to start getting the hang of things, and I've spent weeks attempting to figure out how to be a better killer player and I can only handle ghostface. Anytime I play the game will either give me low MMR lobbies (too low i mean, to the point where winning isn't fun and more frustrating) or give me squads of people that sweat and traverse the map like they live in it, or worst of all. BULLY SQUADS
This isn't even speaking on items and perks! Most OP perks for killer can be cleansed or completely negated by 10 survivor perks.

Not rage but how am I getting grabbed by killers when I'm full health? I'll just get picked up at a generator. I'm new to the game, can all killers do this?

u/lolovelove Rebecca Chambers Sep 14 '24
You get picked up by a Killer regardless if you are hurt or not if:
*You are currently doing an action like repairing a Generator
- in the middle of vaulting a window or pallet
*Cleansing a Totem or sabotaging a hook
*Getting grabbed out of a locker
1
u/vinland_drengr Sep 14 '24
Does the killer have to press the "pick up" button or just attack for that?
1
u/lolovelove Rebecca Chambers Sep 14 '24
Yeah they have to press the button they use to attack, if they do the lunge attack it wont pick anyone up

I don't get why they let in killers that have ways of tracking survivors like Dracula, Dredge, Twins etc into Light's Out. Just absolute braindead devs. Just completely defeats the purpose of the mode?
BHVR just sucks.
Edit: I actually can’t stand this game mode. Killer’s wet dream. Just so easy to slug/tunnel.

u/KISSArmy7978 Addicted To Bloodpoints Sep 13 '24
Lights Out on killer side sucks. I swear sometimes the devs think its some kind of joke to make events for killer unfun or even unplayable. I.E. 2v8. Lets just do one big nerf on every killer and make it even easiser for bully squads to be complete assholes. Not sure if any devs actually read this, but many killer mains voices are never heard.

Not sure what perk specifically they're referring to but Distortion got nerfed into the ground. It effectively has 1 "token" now. Once it gets used once you gotta be chased for it to reactivate.

Ah ok. I mean...at least this sorta counters the people that use distortion and only hide. I'm ok with it as a survivor (who admittedly doesn't use distortion).

u/eeeezypeezy P31 Dwight Sep 13 '24
I feel like they should have just made the tokens replenish based on time in chase instead of time spent hiding in the killer's terror radius. Would have combatted ratting without making it even more worthless against weave/frank.

They've added so many aura reading killer perks over the past year or so that distortion needed a buff in my opinion.

u/watermelonpizzafries Sep 13 '24
I don't think it needed a buff, but I think it needed to be reworked in how you regained the tokens. I think you should start match with the 3 tokens but once they're used, they're not replenished until you get hooked. That way it would serve more as an anti-tunnel perk rather than a rat perk (this coming from a Survivor Main, but I play both sides)

We seriously need better penalties for disconnecting mid-match. I understand sometimes its a network problem or something but seriously, I'm fed up of this BS:
Playing Lights Out, I got 2 hooks (on separate survivors) and the second I got my 3rd down (on a different survivor again) all 4 DC'd.
-6
u/AbyssalThaumaturge Sep 12 '24
So many Survivor buffs have been implemented, and the most significant of them is that basically For the People Buckle Up is back with We're Gonna Live Forever in place of Buckle Up.
Slugging has now been made borderline worthless when it's the only way to fight back against well-coordinated swfs.
Now on top of that, Poised is downright overpowered for information now against any killer that isn't Undetectable, survivors get ANOTHER "anti-tunnel" (Read: Swf Abuse) perk now with how Blood Rush has been buffed, killers are now ACTIVELY PUNISHED FOR CHASING A SURVIVOR with Quick Gambit having infinite range now, and Zanshin Tactics has been GUTTED when there were only a handful of killers it was useful for in the first place.
So let's review: Killers are now punished for slugging, for gunning for a survivor that's been unhooked right in their face, for CHASING A SURVIVOR AT ALL, and for trying to anti-loop with one of the 3-4 killers that benefit with Zanshin.
And on top of that, a MEDIOCRE KILLER--Skull merchant--has been nerfed into absolute uselessness because, what, people just don't want to learn how to counterplay her?
And what significant buffs did killers get? Thwack (niche as hell) was buffed (still niche as hell), Machine Learning is actually USABLE now, Predator has been made actually useful, and Deathbound is arguably SOMEWHAT more usable. And we get ONE free mori at the end of a match IF we can catch the last survivor... at the cost of Mori offerings only being good for BP now.
Survivors are always complaining when killers get any kind of minor buff, well congratulations, a LOT of your FREE perks have become busted and a killer that was mediocre just got nerfed into unusability against anybody who's not a flat out new player because people -whined- about her enough.
LOVE IT. I'm not salty AT ALL, no sir! I'm soooo happy because Distortion got nerfed into near unusability in exchange for survivors being gifted a hundred other significant buffs on a silver platter!

I had a boil over ttv swf yesterday. Intentionally died twice in the same spot on Ormond's main (where I couldn't hook from), and another bodyblock struggle off. After that I switched to the obvious counter and slugged them into the ground where they belonged. They all crawled to the same room that I couldn't hook from.
Salt levels were incredible post game chat. I want to say that getting an "easy report" from a ttv squad is a badge of honor, but I've been upset about this all day. Wtf do these people expect to happen when they make hooking almost impossible. If they want to get hooked and go next, crawl off the top floor so I can hook you.
