A 0k, 2 2ks & a 4k today.
Can't play more right now.
Lower rank killer players will all notice.
Yeah. Captain Colourblind reporting in.
TBH, giving up and spending a lot of games looking into a corner.
NM eh.
Survived 6 matches in a row last night and only 1 teammate died in 2 of those. But I am seeing a lot of demoralized killers and teabagging teammates.
I even forgot bloodlust existe. So far, so great.
It's not a problem for veteran killers, it will be problematic for newer killers. Whether it's a problem for you shouldn't be the primary concern in my mind.
I think that the biggest issue that everyone should be concerned with is that you didn't buy a game that was in a beta test, or warned the game was in early access. If you're going to affect a product in this fashion, you should be providing your players with some incentive, because you're essentially making them work for you. Sure, they could just remove Bloodlust, but they obviously don't know if that would be a good idea at this point, hence the testing. But did you pay to test a game? Hell no. Should you be compensated for your time, hell yes! Why is it not a big deal to provide an incentive? Because they're the developers, they create the incentive out of thin air, and you paid for this game to play it in the working condition it was in when you bought it. I mean, anything at all - it's the thought that counts, if they want to be stingy about it.
"But it's only for three days!" The point is that this sets a precedent for the future; you shouldn't ever accept this kind of treatment from a company you've paid for software.
I've just been playing anti-loop killers like Clown and Doc. No real change but a lot of bad matchmaking skewing my views
So far for me.
Legion 4k 3 gens remaining autohaven.
Legion 3k 2 gens remaining bloodlodge.
Ghostface 1k 3 escaped, red forest.
Clown 4k adept, the game.
Pig 3k 1 escape, badham (can't remember the number).
Pig 2k 2 escape coal tower
Trapper 1k 3 escape through hatch with key, midwich.
And just oni until now mostly 3-4k.
So far my experience without bloodlust has been great but on some maps is kinda needed/would be great.
Holding W is working great as a survivor.
So far:
Game 1 Legion, Badham - 2K, 8 Hooks
Game 2 Pig, Badham - 4K 12 Hooks
Game 3 Trapper, Sanctum - 2K, 9 Hooks
Game 4 Wraith, Resting Place - 4K, 12 Hooks
Game 5 Hag, Abattoir - 4K, 9 Hooks
Game 6 Doctor, The Game (Map Offering from a Survivor), 4K, 11 Hooks
Game 7 Wraith, Wretched Shop, 4K, 10 Hooks
Game 8 Doctor, Wretched Shop, 4K, 12 Hooks
Game 9 Legion, Hawkins, 4K, 10 Hooks
If I got a 4K, not all Gens were done, but I dont know how many were done. (All games without Ruin or PGTW, but Corrupt Intervention on all Killers except for Pig)
Yea i don't think you will notice it much if at all on balanced maps, only on unbalanced maps will you notice a problem. But all the unbalanced maps r being fixed with the graphical reworks, such as how new ormand is far more balanced.
I didnt even know they'd turned it off until I went on forum after the matches. Tbh with the new map reworks I don't think it will be missed
Sorry, we're ######### off for the weekend.
Good luck dealing with a ######### up mechanic.
G1t gud nubz!! LULZ!
yeah id agree, thats why i asked i mainly want to see how people who played it already are doing, mainly on midwich which i dont want to play with or without bloodlust honestly
I mean, I would get a chance to try it if people wouldn't disconnect when they see I'm playing doctor for my daily.
Two games so far
One clown who just seemed to want his four BBQ stacks and then he was chill
Second was a really bad Toblerone and I had equally bad teammates so it didn't seem any different than those situations usually do.
This is a poor analogy.
Its not like BHVR have access to a tried and tested manual called “how to make an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game”.
They’re (for all intents and purposes) still doing something that nobody else is doing. Which means they’re constantly venturing into uncharted territory. There are bound to be speed bumps in the pursuit of bigger, better, and improved.
Did all the killer tome challenges using Billy/Legion/Demo - Similar results.
I have had 9 games as survivor and only been hit twice. It's laughable. Mind you I am also out of Haddonfield offerings, and moved onto Autohaven offerings.
Well, night one involved 7 grabs that got cancelled, and I thought, "Yeah, Bloodlust is way less satisfying than outplaying someone at a pallet and then standing still for a second while they run away unharmed."
Out of all my games as survivor:
0k-1k if the killer doesn't hard tunnel/camp someone to death or someone suicides on first hook.
3k if the killer is going full try hard with add-ons/offerings.
Even with potato teammates who have a phobia of generators making me do over half of them I still generally speaking escaped or was the only one to die every normal game.
Also I do not blame killers for camping/tunneling hard as there are so many infinites without Blood Lust its not even funny(Even a shack varient can be an infinite right now).
Exactly the same as before. If you activate bloodlust often you are most likely bad killer.
I dunno if they've buffed killers' speeds to make up for losing bloodlust, but I've been doing great without it. Had 2 4Ks and 1 3K+hatch as Dr, then a 4K as Myers, then a 4K as Freddy (who I suck at), and then a 0k as Billy who I also suck at, but I was doing the "2 chainsaws in 30 seconds" challenge which I got.
So everything looks great to me!
Man no. Playing my first games with this change. If I’m playing against someone who actually knows the maps it’s agony. You can get looped around the map because they don’t even have to try to mind game you to stay ahead.
It’s so messed up now. Yeah being a red rank killer and I can’t catch the red tank survivors and get endlessly looped. Y’all with good experiences haven’t played against people who know how to abuse the lack of bloodlust. Seriously I didn’t have a bad game until right now. I’m livid.
Ive never been so frustrated about any kind of change in any game I’ve played. I play competitive MOBAs and welcome all the changes. Yet this change, it infuriates me.
Well i had a game as pig where the survivors abused the main building of asylum, but i still 4ked at 3 gens and that maps gonna be heavily nerfed/changed so i don't think it's too much of a concern.
I was especially worried because once on the 4.4.0 PTB bloodlust wouldn't activate while I was chasing a Dwight with OoO who had kidnapped my babby, and he infinitely looped me on an LT jungle gym, but I haven't seen anything like that so far with this change.
My opinion is complicated.
Some times i don't need it.
On the other, circle around a pallet 4 times before the survivor drop it and tbag me isn't fine. Even worse if they do this (and they do) all match. Specially if they is a close windows where the survivor can extend the loop (i'm looking at you, badham).
It's exactly the same as before bloodlust removal because players that relied mostly on bloodlust were the lazy and bad ones anyway. Bloodlust was never intended to give free hits in chases. True infinites are literally gone that's why bloodlust needs to die, period.
Killers that I play are spirit and blight. With those killers bloodlust was rarely used anyway. The majority of my hits are phase hits or lethal hits. I haven't noticed a difference, except around shack. Shack seems a lot stronger now.
Did three rounds as killer, 3ks and 4ks were about what I got. I personally feel it depends on the teams you verse, your own skill, and the killer you play as it's always been. Some solos are big brain, sometimes you get swf, and sometimes you get potato gamers. Certain killers don't even need BL providing you have the skill and perks good for it.
I'm not a good killer & don't play it much but I did fairly well even without BL as a Hag.
Huntress 0k
Hag 4k
Nurse 4K
Huntress 2k
Billy 4k
Wraith 0k
It's stupid the amount of time that u need to spend now chasing survivors with slower killers or 1m killers, the maps are not balanced enough to remove bloodlust permanently, infinite loops are everywhere.
I think dev don't get the fact that in high ranks survivors are all equipped with ds, unbreakable, brand new parts, etc increasing the time needed to catch on a survivor it's a rule change specially for people new to the game.
