this video talks about the changes that are coming like the HUD,clown, ranks and other stuff.

the new versions of the Saw and Asylum/Chapel maps look v nice.

Haven't really checked out the Clown's changes yet

The HUD is unnecessary and a little bit distracting to me. I'd rather have that part of the screen to see stuff in the distance, than have everyone's names/pictures there. :shrug: but the rank reset rewards are long overdue, and there needs to be rewards for Devotion levels too.

omg :flutter:

...that creeps me out just listening to the music, I couldn’t cope...I’d just scream and run before the clown appeared...

Does any else hate facing the doctor? I didn't mind before but he's so op and quite annoying. So many people are playing him these days

PC doctors are frightening; some of them have such precision with their blasts that you can feel helpless, yeah. People always seem to panic against him, though, and since I play solo it's always frustrating watching everyone wait at pallets and windows that you know he's going to shock you at so you can't use them :laugh:

Is the update with all the Clown reworks and the Saw/Asylum maps coming today? Or is it just the new rift.

The twins :flutter:

Yeah he’s annoyingly over powered now

I tried playing for the 1st time since Christmas and waited 18 minutes to play as killer and 1st hook the survivor killed themself and another DC'd (guessing swf duo) and so I let the last two go, I felt bad and lost interest.

Next game a ghost face stupidly tunneled me at the shack which had a strong loop next to it, 3 gens popped while he chased me and he's mad at me for his choices so he camps me, t bagging and hitting me on hook. Other survivors tried but he wanted me so they did the last gen and opened exit while he stood watching me in struggle. How was that fun for the killer?

This game is not fun to me anymore, the community is the most toxic I have ever seen.

If anyone wants 100,000 bp redeem: FUKUHAUCHI

forgot to redeem that code, oops

A LOT of people are pissed with this newest update that came out on Tuesday. Major complaints are about the hitboxes and the changes to the HUD (the layout of the in-game screen has changed completely).

I can sympathise with the former: the games I've played over the past 2 days have given me the most "wtf????" hits as both a survivor and a killer. Jumping through a window and getting hit a second later... not good at all. The problem stems from them changing the way characters move: every single action looks different, and on the face of it it's a good change... no one is hunched over and gremlin-looking any more, everyone stands upright, and the animations for crawling/getting recovered/being injured are just... I don't really have any opinion on them really, I don't care about the change either way. But I guess the hitboxes are crazy because they haven't changed them from how they were before the animations looked different?

I don't really have a problem with the new HUD other than the option they've given to change the size of it. You can change the in-game HUD so all the icons are smaller and take up less of the screen.... but the problem is it also makes your progress bar and skill checks smaller :shrug: it's also a nightmare playing against the Plague because you can't rely on the status of the survivors to be accurate: I was being vomited on and the icon of my character still indicated I wasn't "broken" yet by the vomit, and she still hit me and down me even though it should've been an injure :shrug: I can imagine it'll be difficult to tell your madness level vs. a doctor, and "deep wound" effects vs. Legion/Borrowed Time/Deathslinger etc.

Other small weird bugs I've noticed:
-when you're hooked/caged, the music keeps changing between two different audio files
-killer sometimes gets sucked to your side of the pallet if you stun them with it

But yeah I've never seen the community so frustrated and angry with an update... even the Blight one which broke the PS4's framerates and had like 400 miscellaneous bugs.

On the plus side... I really like the new Saw map. The Asylum ones... meh, no real improvement and a little too bright.

The new chapter was revealed yesterday, it's a K-pop focused one with a serial killer K-Pop star that throws knives and looks very much like Jared Leto's joker. He looks fun from the gameplay. The survivor is his manager, and she looks pretty cool too, although I think I will mostly still stick to playing Yui and Felix.

There's no new map sadly, which is a real shame since the game lobby has become a neon filled korean backstreet which would have made for a great looking map.

This whole chapter looks amazing and I love the look of the lobby too. I'm disappointed at no new map though. Would have been nice for an asian male survivor but I'm fine with the third asian female she looks great.

There's been a very mixed reception to the aesthetics, but I think he looks quite good, I'm interested to see what his cosmetics are like.

A lot of people seem to think he is too 'normal' looking and doesn't fit in with the aesthetics of the rest of the game, but I disagree. There's plenty of normal looking killers and there's a lore reason for it. The more monstrous killers, I believe, were ones that resisted the Entity, while Legion, Trickster, Huntress and Clown etc are all relatively normal looking. Clown and Trickster were serial killers that welcomed the Entity's realm (as was Ghost Face, but he's a weird one since he is a guest character but this version of GF is unique to DBD), while Frank and Julie were pretty psychotic to begin with, and the Huntress didn't know any better. Basically, I think if you're welcoming to the Entity's game, you don't get put through the ringer by it until you submit.

It's cool and everything but the fact they didn't bother to give him a map but just a lobby screen makes the entire chapter scream "we want to take your money for the (admittedly nice) cosmetics these Koreans will get, not really arsed if he's any good or not"

The killer perks are good though for once. Survivor ones are trash.

The lack of map is so lazy, they could have gone for a deserted city street with maybe an open looted shop, possibly even an open sewer or access to a rooftop and maybe some neon signs in the street to fit the aesthetic sort of like a times square feel to it.

They don't make money off of maps though so they'll be busy making cosmetics instead

The exposed perk is apparently ridiculous on Doctor since he can cover the whole map in his terror radius and the effect doesn't end with hooking the survivor so most of the time you'll have the opportunity to down someone apparently.

I think the survivor's exhaustion perk isn't too bad, but the others seem a bit iffy.

So this was teased last night..



On the one hand I think it's a little bit anticlimactic to tease something they're not going to reveal until the end of May, but on the other this is another huge coup for the game and something that will really excite fans of both franchises, I'm sure.

I can't see it being anyone but Mr. X as the killer but then I don't know the franchise too well... the new tall vampire lady with the freddy claws would be my second guess but then her similarity to Freddy's weapon might put her out of the running...

The trailer - *i think* - uses Felix for the hooked survivor screams, so I've no idea which playable character they'll release.

I'm really excited about it and I've been thinking about it since they revealed it, the way I see it, there are three likely options.

The first is Jill as the survivor and Nemesis as the Killer. I think out of all the best known RE villains, Nemesis probably has the best chance since he has the most potential for a unique power since he has access to a rocket launcher and tentacles so he could potentially be a trap or ranged character.

The second option, I think, is a Stranger Things styled chapter where we get Claire and Leon alongside Mr. X with a Racoon Police Department map, I know they said no new maps until they remake the old ones, but I think collabs will be an exception. The main problem with Mr. X is that he doesn't really do anything that isn't already represented in the game, in his trenchcoat form, all I can imagine him having is an Oni styled dash, or some sort of meter mechanic where he can activate his ability and walk through obstacles but that's kinda boring. There'd be more potential if he's in his full, fast, Tyrant form though.

The last one, which I think is fairly likely, is Ethan Winters and Lady D as the killer. This chapter's coming a month after RE8's release so I think there's potential there, and Lady D potentially has a lot of wiggle room when it comes to powers. Like, I could imagine her summoning her daughters as traps/sentries or something.

I'm not sure what I'm hoping for, tbh, but I'm very interested to find out more.

They're updating character models. I don't know how many, or when, but they've uploaded a video of Dwight and Meg to their Twitter (the YT links are unlisted)

stream to reveal the full details of the RE chapter (plus a bunch of other anniversary content, I assume) happens today!

Very excited for this one

The safe bet is probably Claire & Leon as survivors with Mr. X as a killer and the RCPD as the map but I dunno, I'm not quite sure what to expect. I expect the cosmetics that will be available with the chapter will be great though. Capcom loves a collaboration so I'm expecting a number of legendary skins so that other RE protagonists aren't left out in the cold. If Dimitrescu isn't the killer, I'd be surprised if she doesn't end up as a Plague costume, and I could easily see a Nemesis or Mr. X (if either one of them aren't the killer either) Oni skin.

Nemesis is the killer
Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine are the survivors.

Map is Raccoon City Police Dept (as seen in the RE2 remake)... it looks pretty great but unsure how it'll fit with this game.

The power initially seemed underwhelming, it looked like a cross between Plague (infecting survivors with the T-Virus through Nem's tentacle attacks) and your standard ranged killers (Pyramid Head, Deathslinger, Huntress) but there's a new mechanic that looks interesting (if a little bugged, but... it's DBD...)

Basically Nemesis also spawns NPC zombies to roam around the map and they can attack survivors too. Alternatively, Nemesis can kill them himself to boost his own power (like Myers, it has 3 tiers and his 3rd tier allows him to whip people from more range).

He looks pretty strong right now... the bug I mentioned is that I think the zombies are programmed to slowly approach survivors, and if one is hooked... that zombie pretty much face camps... so hopefully they fix that otherwise this might turn out to be another Twins chapter :worry:

Perks are interesting... I'll use the stats for their "level 3" effects rather than just a level 1 (like a peasant would use)

Killer:
- Lethal Pursuer - at the start of the game you can see everyone's auras for 7 seconds
- Hysteria - when you injure someone, every other survivor becomes oblivious for 30 seconds (cooldown of a minute though?)
- Eruption - you can kick a bunch of generators and once you down someone, all generators you kicked at some point explode and lose a chunk of progress (and start regressing)

Jill:
- Counterforce - you cleanse totems 20% faster and when you break one, you can see the aura of another one for 4 seconds and cleanse those ones 20% even faster.
- Resurgence - when you get unhooked you automatically have half your health back
- Blast Mine - most interesting one... you can trap a generator with a "mine" that - if the Killer kicks it - they are stunned and blinded for a good 5 or 6 seconds. It will blind other survivors nearby though.

Leon:
- Bite the Bullet - make no noise when healing, and if you fail healing skillchecks they only do 1% damage and don't notify the Killer any more
- Flashbang - similar to Jill's, where you can craft an item by hiding in a locker after doing a certain amount of gen. progress... it's basically the same as a firecracker or party starter though.
- Rookie Spirit - when you pass 5 repair skillchecks you can see the aura of any generator that is regressing (not sure if this would be useful for anyone other than a new player...)

Anniversary event looks really underwhelming... they've basically done the same as last year. New crown to unlock on all original characters (easy for killers, survivors have to escape with it and are more visible with it, but hey... survivors have easy Adept challenges so I think that's a fair trade). Some community challenge to unlock some Wraith and David skins that are super plain as well... same pattern as the ones Claudette and Deathslinger got last year (black with gold lines)... I know it sounds ungrateful but I think it's still really ****ing scandalous that every single nice skin in the game now is behind a paywall... I'm so glad I was able to unlock the really nice Hallowed Blight skins for Doctor, Hag, Huntress, Trapper, Wraith etc. back when they actually required gameplay to unlock rather than £8 a ****ing pop.

All in all it's a pretty underwhelming anniversary stream. It's here if you want it though:



No mention of what the next maps are going to be reworked (I would assume Swamp? but...the community is begging for Haddonfield...please...)
