Yes but no, in F13 you are jason and only jason and have a handful of abilities that vary in their effectiveness. Not fun in the long run.
The game is fun until you figure out how it works.
When no-one has any idea what they're doing it's a blast, a bunch of scared survivors running shitless from a scary monster that will likely butcher many or all of them. When everyone knows how to play it becomes a game of 4 arseholes bullying a slow, semi-blind retard, literally running rings around them, smashing crap on their head, and shining shit in their eyes until they get bored and decide to win.
In a post-mortem interviews the developers of EVOLVE said that asymmetrical multi-player was impossible to balance when people stopped playing for fun and started try-harding. I think the DBD devs know this but are pretending that it isn't true. They should have embraced the imbalance (hence asymmetrical) and just let the killers be strong. Unfortunatley, for every one killer complaining there are four survivors complaining. It creates a vocal majority that makes the developers tend to favor them. They killed any shot at balance when they killed stealth. Should've stayed with the dangerous killer vs hiding survivors thing. I think Deathgarden attempted that route but unfortunately the core gameplay loop of DG sucks.
I was banned a few years ago for “camping” as the killer.
I think they said they’ve stopped banning people for doing it, but it used to be bannable if you camped players as the killer for “taking the fun away”.
Players used to bitch and moan about it so much they had to start banning it. Look it up in the forums if you don’t believe me.
It’s why I’m never supporting these devs again.
Same here dude. It’s called Face Camping and it’s an unspoken rule that was bannable but they never told you it was bannable. You pretty much had to read the forums to know.
classic "Devs don't play the game" syndrome
That's what I feel like is happening, since they add in these blatantly terrible killers who have been the laughing stock of the community forever. Like whoever heard of a guy maining freddy? But they don't want to tweak survivors to make them easier to kill.
it was a blast on ps4 for the minute or so that it took everyone to get used to the game, now if I play anyone that takes a semblance of extra effort they all escape in 3 minutes or less and I've likely only hooked 1 or 2 people if any at all.
only fun part is trolling the killer
It’s considered grieving if you ALWAYS face camp one payer, preventing them from playing the game at all. It absolutely should be bannable.
Nice bait but ive been camping for years and no one as much as touched me
I wish there were more game modes/stuff to do. I also wish it didn’t look so ugly.
>”I just haven’t been caught/reported yet so it mustn’t be real”
it's like if you could get banned for tbagging as a survivor. It's just dumb imo since the face camping was a result of the survivors being difficult to hook and kill.
>Banning you for being an idiot
Camping only hurts the killer. You waste time watching some slowly dying instead of chasing the other survivors. It's not fun for you.
It was for your own good.
t. killer who likes to chase
Wish the devs would just make Jersey Devil 2, or at least 1 remastered
I just like when the survivors get mad and insult you in the post-game chat
If you want to have any fun as killer you need to play as nurse. She's the only killer who can outplay and kill skilled survivors, all of the others rely entirely on them making mistakes you can take advantage of. When you get towards the top ranks survivor mistakes just don't happen, or happen so rarely that they're not enough to make a difference.
On PS4 though, I don't know, attempting to control her blinks with a controller sounds horrible, it may well be that she is much weaker there. You have to be able to snap to your targets near instantly after a blink for follow up blinks, it might not be possible.
Disagree. Like sure the little differences between the killers is interesting at first. But after awhile that wears off. F13 has the superior atmosphere and most importantly is more fun. As either the killer or a survivor.
t. killer in the shit ranks
What you described is how the game is supposed to work, but it doesn't. One survivor who knows what he's doing can easily run you on a chase that will last almost the entire game, while his friends knock out every generator and leave.
Campers tend to do better in the later ranks, because they nearly guarantee one kill and can often lead into more if the other survivors are retards and try to save him no matter what (which is something they often do).
That said, both tactics are boring as hell in the later ranks, so my real advice is to just quit the game, it's shit. Maybe play as a survivor every now and again to get a kick out of bullying the poor retards playing as killer.
They should just not get caught. I don't see the problem.
I had fond of memories of this game
>Play survivor is pretty much ez mode
>Playing killer was painfully boring but a salt mine extractor if you face camped and troll'd
>Lobbies only get fill'd by people playing in groups
>Constant rage quits mid-gamemade playing survivor impossible/getting kills as the killer shit
>"""""Balance""""" ideas by the community favour survivors heavily and bitched heavily if the devs buff'd killers
>Banning people by camping
Anyone have those mspaint memes of the game and it had like the 4 survivors trolling the killer and there was a duracel battery in it?
I agree but the variation is lacking, it's superior in every way since it's polished and focused. But if you wanna do more than just the handful of abilities you can't.
Another aspect i really liked about F13 was that it was never super focused on being competitive. Like some of my funnest games (even as survivor) was back when the game was first released and Jason was a super fucking OP killing machine. Actually gave a sense of dread if you encountered him. In DbD, for the most part, the killer feels like more of an annoyance.
>Five survivors
What the hell?
Bottom of the screen has 13 though
I think it's enjoyable in the casual hide and seek simulator. Don't take it too seriously OP.
Ahhhh! I play a killer on the PS4 version, where the max amount of survivors is 4. It takes forever just for a lobby to fill with that much.
