My Issues with the game.

Discussion

700 hour DbD player, playing about a month after release, who has numerously quit & came-back to this game.

I am a survivor main, believe that.

My first issue, is the Doctor.

While before his buffs, he played like any normal trapper, wraith or hillbilly, it was the usual let me run you around this pallet, till you get to close, so I can pallet stun you, to now it's like, Oh, your going to get on-top of me and continously shock me so I can't throw this pallet-down, OH, and you can run at full-speed while switching to punishment mode? Sweet.

My issue with the doctor, is that he isn't fun, the way he plays, is incredibly stupid, and it doesn't take a good-killer to 4 man wipe, with him, because he's stupidly easy now.

His shock therapy, will make you not be able to do any actions for 2.5 (?) seconds, and on-top of that, while switching to punishment mode, he runs at full-speed, which means you cannot get a chance at all, to get away from him, the only chase he has, is first-finding you, and than catching up after hitting you again.

I may be making it sound like, he's constantly shocking you, and in theory yes, that's what a doctor should be doing if he's not going to hit you yet.

I understand the "you can't do any actions for seconds" mechanic, it makes sense, if your having 1000 volts of shock therapy running through your body, you shouldn't be moving a muscle, but than again, it's a game.

I get that change, it's a good-change, but 2 seconds, make it 1.5, so atleast I can have SOME chance, so when he shocks me, and he's a foot-away he can't just swap to punishment and hit me.

  • You run at full-speed while swapping between Treatmode and Punishment mode.

I don't understand this design choice, his movement slow-down is meant to balance him, but instead now, he can shock you constantly and once he's on-top of you, he can swap, and hit you at the same-time, while you still can't do anything, so why is this designed this way.

tl;dr Lower Doctor's shock therapy time, to 1.5 seconds, and make him move slower again while swapping between modes, so he can't sit on-top of you.

Nurse,

There's so many issues, with the Nurse, but I'll only bring up two-issues, I have with her.

Her lunge range.

In this video,

You'll see many bullshit, hits, that just are not fine

In my comment on that latter post

The issue with Nurse, is that her hits, are very weird. What I notice a LOT which Nurse, is that her hits will either play like this : If the player (survivor) is in-front of the Nurse, her attack will automatically hit them, which will work. But however, if the Nurse lunges a distance, and her swing has already ended, but is in the original range of a lunge, she will hit the survivor regardless. To point out-times in the video to show-off what I've said. 0:07 Now this hit is very weird, because you have to constantly push, here is a picture of the EXACT second the Nurse hits the player (Nea) https://i.gyazo.com/27f27d4885e98142f40d6a3839e87cb4.jpg You can see the hit on the Nea, and that she is just at the very beginning of the pallet-drop. You can see her ICON has changed to the Injuryed icon, but has gained no color, which means this is the exact SECOND she was hit. How to fix this? The pallet patch that has came-out months ago, indicating that a pallet stun will start as soon as the pallet has been dropped. So far, the only sure-way to fix this, is that as soon as the pallet-drop animation has started, the killer would be stunned, but this would be very un-realistic. Now this is what I will call a lunge that has already ended but still hits. Start the video from 0:33 and watch until that very clip. The hit ends very late 0:35, and she still gets the kill. What's hard to determine about this, is the fact that she doesn't do a blood-wipe immediately. In this clip 1:57 starting there. https://i.gyazo.com/6a945504b5ea4e49cc39af31ba901f33.jpg You can see her, that the Nurse's model, has ended her swing, but when she moves slightly closer, her hit animation plays AGAIN, but very fast. So from what I'm looking at the issue with the Nurse. Is her lunge-attack, actually plays longer than her animation does, and is slightly longer. bhvr pls fix

My comment in that post, details the issue with the Nurse (I believe) and should be literally enough.

My secondary issue with the Nurse, is the fact, that her hit-box plays, before her model is even there, or her hits, play before her model is there.

I don't know if that's an issue, with ping, or latency, but It shouldn't be, since it happens every match.

and I guess my small issue with the Nurse, is her hit-box blocks you, before she is even there, and you (developers) said you wanted to fix that.

tl;dr Nurse lunge is stupid broken, and her character model is also dumb.

So yeah, those are just my issues with the game, as a survivor main, I'm willing to post, my thoughts on issues on survivors, if I feel like it.
