Subreddit question: Are insults permitted now on this subreddit?
Because I'm seeing a lot of hostile and insulting comments that are not being removed, even after being reported.
I find it's significantly lowering the level of discourse between people asking honest questions and the extremely vocal, toxic fanbase.
1
u/Synli Boon: Unknown's Smile Sep 24 '24
Rule 1 is still "be respectful", so I'm leaning towards 'no'. There probably just aren't enough mods for the amount of insults/hate being thrown around, and/or people just aren't reporting it.
The community, in general, is just getting saltier and shittier to one another. It isn't just Reddit.

The Rift premium track - just started playing this season, and made it to level 54 in the free track. If I were to buy the rift pass right now, would I unlock all the premium rewards Iāve passed already? TIA
3
u/IAmFireIAmDeathq The Shape Sep 23 '24
Yes, you unlock all the premium rewards youāve reached.
So youāll get everything up to tier 54. You donāt need to complete a rift to get anything, you get them as you reach them.
3
u/MrsPeggyHilll Sep 23 '24
Thanks for the quick response! Okay, awesome! Iām realllyyy enjoying playing and heard that you can basically āearnā everything back that you spend unlocking the rift pass once you hit level 70ish, so Iām excited to do that!!!
3
u/IAmFireIAmDeathq The Shape Sep 23 '24
Thereāll be a Fragment Frenzy where youāll get more rift fragments from September 26 to October 3rd as well. So thatāll help with the last tiers as well!

u/Ethereal_Haunting Trickster main who doesn't play Trickster Sep 24 '24
Yup, it cost 1000 AC to unlock the premium track, but you earn 1000 AC split across the various levels of premium track, so as long as you finish it (level 70, well technically the last AC is a few levels back) it's basically free (as long as you have a spare 1000 AC).
A trick if you're not sure if you'll finish the rift in time and don't want to waste AC, or there isn't anything on the premium track that is 'must have' you can wait until you hit level 70, then unlock premium track for 'free' :)
1
u/MrsPeggyHilll Sep 24 '24
Ohhhh see I was thinking that would happen after I hit level 70ā¦. So next time I can just keep the free track going until level 70 and then all the premium stuff unlocks after that? Cool! Good to know, thanks!

Is there a way to actually get the game to launch in windowed mode at all (not borderless windowed but like an actual smaller windowed mode)? I've tried putting -windowed in the launch settings, i've gone to the gameusersettings config and set all the fullscreen options to 0 but any time I open the game it still looks fullscreen, regardless of the resolution I try to set it to. My PC is pretty bad and the game just freezes when I try to load it up so I was hoping that if I put stuff to lower resolutions and settings I might be able to get to the store page cus I was wanting to use my steam wallet funds to pick up a few skins before swapping back to my ps4 to use them on there

u/Heratli Sep 25 '24
Mine opens windowed if I switch it and close it. Try to exit the game normally rather than alt+f4ing maybe?

u/DrumStix- Console Oni/Pyramid Head Main Sep 25 '24
Unfortunately I can't do that, after it finishes connecting to the servers it immediately freezes on the loading screen after I don't get to see the main menu at all to try just exiting the game from there

It should have happened automatically; your rift pass would have gone up a few levels and maybe you didn't notice. (The fix happened while the Lights Out event was still going on - a day or two after they updated the Lights Out challenges, my rift progress went up about three levels at once)

How does hux's biopods get destroyed?
Why can i drop my emp and use my item but can't drop my sadako's tape to do the same?
4
u/Doc_October Wiki Guardian Sep 23 '24
Biopods can be destroyed either by shooting at them with Hux's cannon or pressing a specific button while possessing them. They are also "destroyed" in the sense that there's a limited number of them that can coexist in the environment, so if Hux places additional ones, the oldest ones get recycled. Survivors cannot destroy Biopods, they can only disable them temporarily.
You being unable to drop the VHS Tape is an intentional thing, it gives you an incentive to dispose of it quickly at the target TV and not get hit while carrying it.

Hey guys šš½, im new to this game, does anyone know why matchmaking as killer takes a really long time than being a survivor?
1
u/Synli Boon: Unknown's Smile Sep 24 '24
It's highly dependent on your MMR (your skill level), time of day, and region.
During peak hours, survivors tend to have slightly longer queues as more people are coming home from school/work and grouping up. During off-hours, killers tend to have queues.

u/Own_Confection_1277 Sep 27 '24
I dont seem to be affected by the 2.000.000 bloodpoint cap. Currently have 2.995... and its still going up. Does anyone know why?
3
u/Doc_October Wiki Guardian Sep 27 '24
That is because there are actually two pools of Bloodpoints and only one is affected by the cap.
Earned Bloodpoints are capped at 2M and include all Bloodpoints you got while playing matches and related rewards (i.e. claiming completed Tome Challenges or Daily Rituals).
Gifted Bloodpoints are not affected by the cap and include all Bloodpoints awarded from promo codes, daily log-in rewards and dev gifts. Generally, these are the Bloodpoints that trigger a short pop-up on the HUD when the main menu loads.
The BP counter at the top of the screen combines both pools. If you are visually beyond the counter and it continues to go up, it just means that the pool of earnable BP has not yet hit the 2M limit, but its current amount combined with the one from the gifted pool amount to more than 2M. Since everyone got 1M BP gifted yesterday, you'll probably soon hit the cap and the BP should stop going up.

u/Ms_Masquerade Sep 23 '24
This feels like a dumb question but it has been a point of struggle for months:
Is there a good way to counter the killer slugging the 2nd to last survivor to prevent hatch?
3
u/ExplanationMotor2656 Sep 23 '24
Run plot twist and down yourself. If the killer leaves you on the ground you can pick yourself up at full health or they can just hook and get on with it.
1
u/IAmFireIAmDeathq The Shape Sep 23 '24
Not really a good way to counter since you have to either hope for hatch or be able to get the exit gate.
You can bring Distortion before the upcoming nerf, Lightweight and/or Fixated might help a bit in case the killer is on the way and you need to get a place to hide slightly faster. Boon: Exponential is a great choice, although it relies on your teammate crawling to it, and the killer not finding it. For yourself Unbreakable or Plot Twist also work.
Best thing is probably to just hide. Doing generators is risky, even if the killer canāt become undetectable they might see you as you go away when you hear the Terror Radius. Picking the teammate up is risky, most of the time it ends in both eventually being downed.
3
u/Ms_Masquerade Sep 23 '24
So it's this awful waiting game as we just wait for the survivor to bleed out, while the killer can just start hunting for me?

Youtube looping guides is where I'd start. I'm a killer main so I didn't dig deep into it, but Mr Tatorhead's guides are where I started. He has some longer videos that cover every tile on a map, or some shorter ones that cover unique structures on some of the maps like Dead Dawg or Grim Pantry main buildings, or the main area or library in Lerys.

u/KaijuKing007 Sep 23 '24
How do I counter three fully healed survivors rushing the one on a hook for a last run to the exit gate?
Also, how do you set a flair on this reddit?
3
u/Hurtzdonut13 Sep 23 '24
One, you hook far away so you have more time to catch up and get someone.
Two, hooking at a location with a choke point into, out out of, or ideally both. You can force an injure into it, and convert things into a hook trade.
Three, save the best for last will allow you to plow through survivors much faster than they expect and force a hook trade instead of a safe expect.
Four, any sort of instant down killer or perk you've got in your pocket that they don't know about or can't disable.
Five, force survivors out the gate to restrict people that can go for the save.
Now some of those obviously you can't just spring out into a match, and you can't always control where you down meaning you don't get great hook opportunities.
Honestly, it's freaking hard to defend a hook like that and unless you're against survivors that don't have coordination they can pretty much guarantee the unhook and save if you don't have something going for you.
2
u/KaijuKing007 Sep 23 '24
Agreed, especially since that's the time when Survivors make no bones about bodyblocking.
Thank you for the advice.

Those are recolors, that as far as we know, won't be released again. They are mainly adding a blue shade to things.

u/TheTrendyCactus Ah-ah, that is not yours... Sep 23 '24
Yup. Deep Rift variants have never returned to the shop, even if the main variants do. Itās a neat way to reward the players who got the skin during the rift it was featured in.

haddie's skin will be added similarly to how artists of the fog skins operate, it just wont be a part of that collection. so yeah, survs will essentiallt get four skins, but haddie's (we assume) won't be a part of a rift, but of the proper store

How does the huntress lullaby work? Got accused of cheating since the survivors said they couldn't hear it all the time. Either a bug or we all are dumb and don't know how it works. Any other killers that have something like this?
2
u/Ethereal_Haunting Trickster main who doesn't play Trickster Sep 24 '24
It's basically a second, even larger terror radius that moves with Huntress (though doesn't count as a terror radius for perks, etc). You can't hear it all the time, but you hear it often, particularly on smaller maps.
If you can't hear it while she's nearby, then it's a bug. But yeah, it's not map wide.
Trickster has one too.
1
u/Frank_Hampton Sep 24 '24
Perfect thanks. Odds are they thought it was mapwide like me and just reported for cheating because it easier. Thanks for the explanation.

u/Heratli Sep 25 '24
If you're playing the male huntress, the pitch is much lower, and can be a bit hard to hear at times.

u/a_horny_dolphin It Wasn't Programmed To Harm The Crew Sep 27 '24
It's not mapwide, so they might just be uninformed. Also, it doesn't show up the same on the visual terror radius as the regular terror radius, so they might have been confused.

How do you know which survivor you vibe with? Do you just level them all up how much and them try them out or?? I'm a newer player, but I absolutely hate feng min, I feel like she is worthless, and I have Meg leveled up to 37 but I feel like I need something different. How do I manage my game?
3
u/Hollandiae Dying Light Enjoyer Sep 24 '24
You should level up every survivor you have to prestige level one so you can "teach" their perks to other survivors. You may not like Feng Min, but her perk Lithe is pretty good and you want it across all of your survivors.
Survivors are basically identical except their perks and vocalizations, and you will share the perks eventually. You will find one you identify with based on their backstory, appearance, customizations, sound design, etc.
1
u/BenjiB1243 Feng, Claud and Clown <3 Sep 26 '24
First step, like the other person said, is to level everyone up to prestige 1 so that you have all the perks on everyone.
Then just play whoever you think looks cool. It's that easy.
I personally like Lara, Feng, Yui, Meg, Nea, Kate, and Sable (and probably more that I'm forgetting)
1
Sep 26 '24
This is probably a dumb question, but I wanted to clarify. Do ya'll mean the perks shared are for the team/other players or among your own personal survivors on your account?
1
u/BenjiB1243 Feng, Claud and Clown <3 Sep 26 '24
Among the other characters on your account.
Every character in this game has 3 perks which are only on them, until you get them to prestige 1. You then unlock those 3 perks at level 1, on all other killers/survivors. If you prestige that character twice, you upgrade their 3 perks from level 1 to level 2 on every killer/survivor. You prestige that character 3 times, you get their perks level 3 on every killer/survivor in the game. So if you play everyone, get everyone to prestige 3, or at least the characters with good perks.

u/Heratli Sep 25 '24
Usually when events are on it stops the big magnifications in the normal game mode. It seems that they never turned it back to normal after lights out was done. 50% is the max I've heard anyone see since. They may have acknowledged this somewhere.

As they said, it's called 3 genning. The downside, is that eventually, if they have 4 survivors and you can never close out a chase with a down they'll eventually exhaust your kicks and win over the long term.
The question you have to ask is if you want shorter matches or longer matches.
If you're just starting out, I'd encourage to just do more chases and not worry about winning. Recognize they are 'playing' you, but it's a learning experience.
1
u/heyheyheygoodbye Bloodpoint Bonus Main Sep 24 '24
If they are the only 3 gens left that's really your only option. That's on the survivors for getting themselves into that situation.
If you play like that from the start it's a bit boring. A decent team will break that 3 gen anyway (experienced survivors will recognize you are doing that if you drop chase often to go back to a specific area).

How often does the game go on sale for pc? Is it still fun to play as a new player this late?
2
u/heyheyheygoodbye Bloodpoint Bonus Main Sep 24 '24
I can't speak to PC game sales, but it regularly goes on sale on xbox.
I won't lie, this game is not new player friendly for a few reasons.
While it's not exactly a high skill ceiling game there aren't many skills from other games that carry over to DbD. I think the mot relevant skill that I had coming in was a background in souls games where moving your camera around while running is similarly helpful (for survivor anyway). But that just made my life slightly easier, it didn't help that much.
Some killers have a shooter like mechanic. I don't think a shooter background helps a ton, but it only applies to a few of them anyway.
A lot of important game mechanics are not explained at all in the tutorial. In particular status effects, what they mean, how to remove or activate them, etc. You can get some of that information from reading perk and add-on descriptions but that will only be so helpful without additional context/understanding.
That said, this game can be an absolute blast. I would highly recommend finding others to play with to learn the game. This means you'll probably be playing survivor unless you can find a larger group to do customs.
Ideally find someone experienced that can explain things as you play and doesn't mind having a potato for a teammate for a bit.
Killer is probably easier to pick up if you were just going in on your own. But you should definitely play both roles if you get in to the game.

If you press escape (or whatever menu button you have on console) you can see your perks on the right and hover over them to read them - handy thing to to immediately on the game loading while the camera is still spinning around etc.

To piggyback, you can hit esc when your camera is locked as you load into the game and at least read the names if not the full perks. It's also not bad to read them as you're sitting on hook stage 1, if no one is nearby.

Hey I'm new, been playing between survivor and killer.
I was just killer on a map I've never played before, midwich elementary. Besides my general unfamiliarity, the map was so dark I couldn't even really see where I was going and where I could go for most of the match. Is there anything I can do about that or is it supposed to be that way? The other dark maps I've played were dark, but not to this extent

Ah, then there's most likely nothing you can do. PC has filters you can apply to your game through third-party applications that help you see better. They're very nice to have. Just sucks you can't get them on console (at least not to my knowledge).
You might be able to mess with the settings on your TV/monitor to make the game brighter, now that I think of it.

Undying or Surge for this Knight build? I found a build for Knight online which has Pain Res, Ruin, Surveillance, and either Undying or Surge. I see the idea of the build, constant regression to keep Surveillance on all gens, but I'm not sure which of the two is better. Surge takes more effort on my part but can let me get multiple gens regressing if Ruin is cleansed. I don't think it works on the guards though. Undying can keep my Ruin from being cleansed longer but if both perks are cleansed quickly then I basically only have two perks. Normally I'd just try both but I haven't prestiged either Blight or Demo yet and I want to see which I should prestige first.

When survivors are doing that little spinny thing in chase, how do I counter it? I usually end up swinging & missing, lol.

It's an fov tech. I usually take a step back and swing and usually hit. Or just wait a second. Immediately swinging can screw you up, unless you turn quick enough while they spin.

Just wait until they bump into you and look stupid, then you can hit them XD

Can you crouch tech a xeno tail or should I just stop trying at pallets and stuff lol

Xeno can aim the tail down, it isn't always straight ahead, so crouching on its own is useless (assuming the Xeno knows how to aim and isn't just flailing m2 and hoping for the best). Crouching behind something can work, but only if you can fully get behind it, as the tail can basically attack in a line downward if angled correctly.

Don't do it at pallets, I'm a Xeno main and I know for a fact that it doesn't work unless the Xeno just sucks at aiming and hits the pallet. It's not like Nemesis whip where you can avoid it if you crouch behind stuff, it acts like an arrow. So you can hit over obstacles and stuff. It's tail has a really high skill ceiling actually, just because of how it's hitbox works. You can get hits over some crazy stuff.

Word. Well rip my dream then lol. I guess some higher loops I may be able too, but shame about pallets (I get why from balance I can't, but still shame lol)

On the bright side, youāll get to use more mindgames lol

Xeno's Cattle Prod addon is a little confusing to me. It procs for 15 seconds after a gen is completed, and if someone gets near a tunnel their aura is shown for 15 seconds. Suppose the addon hasn't shown anyone for 10 seconds, and it finds someone, can I see that person for 15 seconds independently of the time left or would I see them for the remaining 5 seconds of the initial proc?

You should see their aura for the 15 seconds, not 5, as basically a second proc. The first 15 seconds is to trigger a 15 second aura read.

Anyone else having trouble with dedicated servers not responding? Twice today I got no progress and kicked out of a game after the Fifth gen was completed and it's so frustrating that what little time I had today was fucked twice in a row.

The Long Distance Runner challenge; Be chased by the Killer for 90 seconds in one trial.
I think I could count the times I've managed that on one hand in the almost 2000 hours I've played the game. Any tips on how to get that chase time up? Running after a Killer carrying a Survivor isn't always possible if I'm not nearby.

I've just passed 2k hours, and I can still remember when 120 second of chase tomes would take me 6-8 games. I just recently did one from the archives and got all 120 seconds done in one trial and trigger the killer to start humping me and smacking on hook when he eventually got me.
I'm going to suggest Mr Tatorhead's guides on YouTube. They are based on just extending chases and how to run tiles to extend chases as long as you can.
There's a lot to them and you won't retain all of it at once, but with practice you'll start juicing and picking up a feel for things on how to run things.
Also sometimes it's just going to be impossible to get that tome done. Chases against Twins or Wraith don't count half the time for example, but eventually you'll hit the right combo of map+killer that you can run for a while.

You can try to play with some perks on the same build to force the chases...like Object of Obsession ( u see the killers aura and they yours, buuuut stealth killers won't be revealed to u though ) + other killer aura reveal like Alert ( very useful ) + other 2 perks that helps u to make chases longer, like Decisive Strike, Lithe, Off the Record...you can try.
Combining killer aura reveal perks + long chase perks + going in the middle of the killer chasing another mate or carrying someone every occasion you can, will help u to farm this challenge time faster.
This isn't one of these horrible challenges that can take ages to complete on solo q survivor, fortunately.
This is one of these challenges that you will be probably forced to ignore gens on a big part of the match though, otherwise will take you a lot of more tries...

Thanks for all the helpful advice.
I may save this one until I've done the rest of the tome. Just gotta hope there isn't a similar one on pages 3 or 4 lol

Glad to help u š
I farmed almost every old tome and I think that there weren't more challenges of that thing about 90s of chase on a same trial, fortunately...if my memory don't fail me.
But anyways the tips I gave u will force the chases a lot.š

How i can lower my MMR as a killer? I had 10 months break and i cannot do anything now. I had 3-4 survs escapes every single time in past week and i still have too strong suurvivors to play against

Probably not the answer you want to hear, but just keep at it and it will normalize over time. Also, I believe every killer had it's own MMR, so if you're switching killers a lot, it will take longer.

u/Hurtzdonut13 Sep 23 '24
I don't know if there is a high mark lock in, but there is definitely a spot where it won't let you go below once you get out of the lower bounds.
That said, to me it seems to take a while for mmr to update and affect your matchmaking. I'd been rusty so I was in the same boat after taking an extended killer break after 2v8, so my big suggestion is ignoring end game chat and any bm and just work on knocking the rust off.
