dead by daylight beta discussion
So is this game actually any good? Pretty skeptical. Hell, the killers all look pretty much the same.
protip: set traps down as often as possible
>>339758319
That's because there's only one killer out right now
>>339758319
It's fun and we don't know shit about the other killers except a few things since you can only play as one in the beta
>>339758462
The store page shows 3 for the game's launch, and they all look like pretty much the same thing.
I cant believe there are cunts actually joining and leaving games just to annoy people, pathetic.
>>339758517
They have different abilities, one can turn invisible and one has a chainsaw that probably has its own set of mechanics but we don't know for sure
>>339758538
are u mad faggot
>>339758538
They're trying to queue into their friends
Do the people that save someone also get a key?
how do you get beta access after buying special edition?
>>339758989
Yep
game looks fun, any webums?
Thick fog perk or whatever is fucking ass, i didnt see anyone the whole game until they had already done all the generators, and then i accidentally walked over my own trap thus letting the little cunt i finally actually seen get away 11/10 would rage a fucking gain.
>>339758538
>>339758954
I am the cunt joining and leaving games so I can play with my brother. Stay mad, negroid.
What is this saving business that compels link spam?
>>339759585
oh shit son
>>339759692
Beta keys
>>339759692
you get a link and if 3 people go to it in 30 minutes you get a beta key
What meme game is this?
>>339759560
>>339759560
>>339759560
still need 2 more
>>339759721
2 more senpai
>>339759628
Thanks whoever saved me
thanks bruhs
When are they going to be releasing more beta keys?
>>339759862
One more
>>339759921
>>339759886
Nigger you've already been saved.
>>339759919
I guess it was me. I don't even know what's going on.
Just clicked your link and now I have a beta key.
Neat
It's bretty ALRIGHT.
I like being a survivor more than a killer though.
It would be awesome if they do all of the classic horror icons.
I want an IT one.
>>339759840
>>339759595
Thanks dood.
1 more spot open /v/, come and get it!
>>339759560
Saved your ass nigga.
>>339759585
Saved you m8
>>339759721
>>339760023
thanks niggas
Where are you guys getting these links? I went to the website and all it says is that there are no more keys available. Are the links only given to people who preorder?
>>339760278
Stay on the website and go do something else. When you see your tab change you've got the chance to do it so hop back to the website tab and go for it.
So how does the save me link system work? I just got a key from helping an anon out.
>>339759530
>>339758954
Wait there isn't a lobby or something to make a game with your friends?
That's fucking retarded
POST NEW KEYS
>>339760278
>>339760441
It's a timezone thing. You can only generate links from 6pm-6am in your region by going to http://beta.deadbydaylight.com.
You need 2 other people to click the link you generate within 30mins, all 3 of you get beta keys.
It's 9am here in Straya, and I just redeemed a code from someone ITT.
>>339760430
Wait so just leave the "Site can't be reached" page and the URL will change?
>>339760094
I got saved but thats not popping up, what do
>>339760710
Oh, that makes sense. Very clever of them.
>>339758517
That still the one killer. There's visual customization.
>>339760710
Oh sweet. So it has nothing to do with the gameplay.
>>339760973
Im here m8
>>339760782
Did it automatically add to your steam? Because you had to login as the host.
>>339760973
>click less than 2 seconds after it's posted
>already saved
ur a fgt
>>339761060
That was fucking fast.
Cheers
>>339758124
I was under the impression that the killer hosts that if im hosting the game i cant suffer from lag so what the fuck is the deal with survivors glitching about the map? missing everytime im ontop of them?
Fucking irritating as fuck.
>>339761118
Anytime m8
>>339761191
animations are p. shit desu
Someone explain hiding to me. Are they hidden in the grass?
Is it just what the killer can see, aka grass obscures you/crates block you or is there a system which obscures you (to an extent) from the killer?
So if I hide in the grass is it just sort of making it harder to see me or is there an actual mechanic limiting how visible I am?
Wait a minute...
That premise...
>>339761397
Evolve? What's that? When does it come out?
how long until we make a general on vg?
>>339761326
It's a human determining the visibility, but the grass really doesn't hide you that well. There are items that will make the fog denser or the light darker that may help.
Are the different characters just skins?
>>339761514
I see. I think it's a good system, just seems like even with third person view it's very easy for anyone to say "well I just saw something move over there" and easily catch anyone by looking around
>>339761529
They have different unlock trees
captcha: select all the trees
>>339761472
I've played with that dude tempus before, dude fucking blows hard
>>339761326
Theres an item that thickens the fog, every game im in where someone has this perk i can not see anyone for shit, seriously that perk needs something done to it.
>>339761472
Never hopefully. It'll just turn into cancer.
>>339761608
the killer is in first person, the victims are third person but the camera is kinda close to them
>>339760973
>>339760973
How do I get my own code like that?
>>339761726
>Click some dead link.
>Start your own adventure.
>Website says "No codes."
>Keep tab open and surf /v/.
>Wait until you see the tab change back to the original site on it's own.
>Go back to the tab and open it, click.
>Start your adventure.
>>339761825
So I have to keep the site open? Fuck.
>>339761326
The killer is locked into first person view with a low FOV, crouching in the grass obscures you form a distance, but when the killer is close from his perspective he can clearly see you in the grass.
There's no hidden status mechanics or anything, as long as you line of sight the killer, or you're far enough away, he can't see you.
The killer casts a red light in front of him, that's pretty much all he can see.
>>339761825
So now I just wait on this screen?
>>339761397
The only thing this needed was a price reduction and it would have been doing A OK.
Such a great game ruined by a stupid greedy move.
>>339762095
Yeah.
>>339762162
Why is it so fucking cryptic to get into this beta? It's like they don't want people to play their game.
>>339761397
It's way better than evolve. The monster can't die so you don't spend 30 minutes of the match chasing a stupid monster around the map and not be afraid of anything. At least in this game the killer will kill you if you try anything stupid and he runs faster than you.
>>339762249
Never play any ARGs.
So is this another streamer bait game?
>>339758595
>one can turn invisible
So the Wraith from Evolve that will end up ruining the game. Cool
>>339762436
why would it be?
>>339762249
It's really not that bad, it basically tells you to wait until 6
>>339762249
It's not that hard plus he just handheld you ffs.
It's more fun this way and better than having to struggle against bots saving every key that gets posted as text.
>>339762436
Possibly. It's fun though
>>339761825
>10 games in
>things going well
>Startede being unable to find ANYONE while they start 1-4 generators
Tell me how, how is it possible i run into no survivors the entire match.
Its not fun when you realise all a survivor has to do is crouch everywhere and duck ehind something when the killers near.
>>339762436
P. much. Not as bad as things like baby simulator or whatever. More like Monstrum or SCP.
Seems real neat so far but I have a feeling it'll be dead even faster than Evolve.
I really think these kinds of games would benefit from a 4 v 4 mode or something.
I think thats one of the big reasons why Evolve did so poorly. Not enough reason to keep playing, competitively.
Not that I care myself, I always preferred campaign mode.
What I reckon this game needs to really have some good potential is:
>More maps, each with different gimmicks
>Properly different killers/characters who different in appearance and playstyle
>More for killer to do instead of hit and hang, like a secluded room or area which will kill people faster/stop them moving but keep him busier than dumping them on a hook, such as a cell or torture room or some shit
>More shit the killer can do to alter the map, like closing off certain routes/areas until players do something or find some key or whatever
It's close to feeling like a regular survival horror game except good and with a player behind the spooks.
>>339762436
Kinda, free beta for the next week though if you can get a key.
The game won't have longevity though. the novelty wears off fast, especially with diminishing Items, causing you to grind (possibly pay) for more.
>>339762578
>put traps near generators, windows, and common paths
>Gather more traps while patrolling from station to station
>Wait until you see someone, scratch marks, or hear a sound like a generator exploding
>run over there.
>>339762630
Evolve didn't die because it was asymmetrical.
It died because of the entrance fee.
>>339762824
Everytime i run over to a gen thats gone off i get there and theres nothing and i feel like i just wasted my time when i couldve headed them off at another one, but that never seems to work either, it really feels like luck when i run into them.
Does the map actually change each game? It seems at the very least like there's a few consistent parts that are always in the same area
>>339762689
>More maps, each with different gimmicks
Confirmed so far is 3 maps with 4 "themes". All are supposedly generated semi randomly.
>Properly different killers/characters who different in appearance and playstyle
Already in. 4 characters have their own perks. Further customizable with items you can bring yourself. medkit, toolbox and map comes to mind.
>More for killer to do instead of hit and hang, like a secluded room or area which will kill people faster/stop them moving but keep him busier than dumping them on a hook, such as a cell or torture room or some shit
There's a basement where the killer can hook 'em. With perks they die faster in that room. But i get what you mean.
>More shit the killer can do to alter the map
Now, this is just guessing from me, but the killer has 3 things he can equip on his loadout. Two of those things are keys that can't be switched. For survivors it's clothing, but i wonder if it's something to do with what you're wanting here.

>watch this fucking faggot AFK in a cabinet on the second story of the biggest building on the map
>he waits until everyone dies then just runs to the hatch taht is right under him
what a fucking queer, he was hiding the whole fucking game, if he had been doing generators we could have had more than one winner.
>>339762578
It's mostly a mind game as the killer.
Most survivors love to hang around and try to get the generator after the killer checks it out, so checking the areas thoroughly works out.
If they're more experienced my trick is usually to find a high point on the map and use it to try and line of sight generators to see if any of them are being repaired.
Careful trap placement's always great too
>>339763607
you need the item for an addon to work dumbass
>>339763598
What do you mean? is it part of the URL?
>>339763638
Playing this game with randoms doesn't sound that appealing. Just find some people to play with.
>>339762557
So it started, I got the intro stuff done, then it told me to connect with Steam, and then it just went back to the "No codes" screen. Like seriously wtf is going?

There's a few trap spots that are God tier. The one that always gets people is on the map with the fuck huge broken tree with the gen next to it, there's one side that's exposed and the other has deep grass that's hard to see in, if you pop a trap int he grass you're always going to hit someone trying to take that gen. That being said, this game is infinitely better as the survivor, the hunter is not very fun. Also black chick master race, her default clothes blend super fucking well in certain areas

You posed an image of one of main things that killed that fucking game.

dumb sluts.
>>339762990
Don't go directly for sound marks. The people who made them are thinking the same thing as you. You want to be scanning the general area around the mark. They're almost never actually at the actual point.
2 people want to join in with my friends to have full private match?
Had a glitch where I got to play the other killer that can go invisible, half way through the game I got telephoned out of the map. I'm not impressed.
I still cant find where exactly you guys are copying these links from
>>339764325

Closets are only good preemptively. Trying to use them while chased is guaranteeing you get caught.

What's the difference between the normal and deluxe edition?

Killer gets a perk to go invisible after standing still for a bit, if that seems like what happened.
Pretty fun but obviously needs more content.

>>339764670

I think the developers are shilling the links on here.....
>>339764705
sucks to be you, but ive got plenty of people around me who're playing
>>339764568
Only once, because the survivor bolted the moment I walked past, and it made things more annoying.
Guys, every time my own adventure starts I get to the part where it says: Connect with Steam, but if I click the button it just sends me back to the "No code"-screen. How the fuck do i get this thing to work?
>>339762523
You still get sound queues to them.
they'll be invisible but there's a mechanic that lets you know if a killer is headed towards you by the sound of your heart beat.
>>339758124
Think it'll be better than the Friday The 13th game thats still coming out?
>>339764782

You're pretty dumb huh.
Honestly tell me guys do you think the game will be dead in a month? Good games die all the time, bad games die quicker.
Based on what you've played of the game do you think it is worth buying or if it tells you how many players are in the beta?
>>339765036
7/10 good effort
>>339764352
It's a known bug. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnxRqn9FyLk
You can get the Hillbilly, too, but I don't think anyone has recorded him.
Wait so when I buy the Deluxe Edition and get three beta keys, is that to give to three friends or do I use one and give the other two to friends?
>>339765126
>got you senpai
>>339758124
The concept is fun but I can see it having the same faith of left4dead, slowly wearing off. It's longevity will depend on updates and if devs could do the trick of making a community big enough so it would mod the shit out of game. I REALLY hope that they will do more shit with the game. So far 2 of the available killers feels a bit same minus special ability aka chainsaw vs trap, the third one will just go to stealth.
We need something completely different, like mirrors, yes mirrors where you would be able to travel between and into any one of them or even water. You would start off as a weak spectre, but slowly by flooding the place or blowing cover of mirrors you will be able to take over the map.
>>339765275
You have to use one for yourself because it downloads the beta as a separate game.
Got some ching chong nigga named 浜田 雅功. I'll be back in an hour to help other guys get in when it hits 6:00 PST and I can get a rescue URL.

donezo
>>339765310
Thanks mang
So what exactly is the 'things' we are feeding these people to on the hooks anyways?
>>339765420
Its the dark god/eldritch abomination the killer worships/gains power from.
Jesus christ my eyes hurt like fuck, trying to spot them fuckers as the killer is destroying my eyeballs.
>>339765485
Ah, now on some videos ive seen survivors try to 'escape' the hook, but it seems like its only accelerated their deaths, whats the point of it?
why isnt there anyone to play with in this fucking game?
>>339765638
change your steam region to us
>finally about to fucking get to save someone
>it won't accept my Steam login credentials
>>339765630
RNG, you can actually escape if you're lucky or have the right perks.
>>339765630
you get like 1% chance to escape but if it fails, you lose 1/3 of your bleeding out blood so it's never worth it
also you can't pick yourself up even though if gives you the prompt (not on hook)
>>339764969
are you retarded read the thread Jesus. You go to google and type Dead by Daylight beta, click the first link, and if it is past 6, you link the code to your steam account and open a lobby for the beta with a link. Then you get 3 other people to connect it to their account with your link and then you all get codes.
What exactly are these links for? What do they do?
>>339765675
it already is you faggot
>>339765804

So if the 4 characters have different skills does each character fit some sort of class or archetype?
>>339765804
Click link, start "experience" where you need 3 people to click your link and you all get a beta key if they do.
>>339764890
>Friday
Dunno anon, but I already backed and own friday the 13th *shrug*
>>339765891
do you not know the difference between talking about a game and shilling?
Or are you just 2cool4definitions and have the delusion that talking about any game = shilling for that game?
>>339765971
Guess so? Perks are different AFAIK.
But everyone has access to tools, so not one person has to be a healer, no one HAS to be the guy with the toolbox etc
>>339765980
it wont let me start my own experience. it just says "no more codes for now". and every single persons link i click either says "they died" or "they got saved".
>>339766087
Same here, I feel like I'm missing something.
>>339766087
stay on that page, itl change in a short while
>>339766087
Did you hear about the anon who wanted a beta key?He was destroyed!
>>339766152
>>339766148
it changes by itself? or do i gotta refresh it?
>>339766087
Seems they offer new codes every half hour or so
Why isn't this shit just an open beta, why do they want us to do this shit?
shit.
I bought a five pack and didn't get a fucking code. I'm kind of pissed.
>>339766219
the page will auto refresh into a new one
>those games where you dont see a single survivor
anyone else get these?
>>339766305
How long ago?
>>339766262
are you dumb? if you get people to spread links to your game then more people hear about the game.
>>339766262
Marketing. You're bound to get one if you really try and the harder you try to get a code the more invested you are in the game.
>>339766361
Two weeks or so. Wasn't deluxe, but now that they're passing codes out like candy, I find it fucked up that I wouldn't have gotten one.
>>339766305
>Don't research product
>Don't know what you pay for
>Not merely google searching
>Doesn't know the deluxe edition gives the beta keys
Come on anon.
so do these little figures have to be lit up for there to be people there, or does them being there mean people are there?
It's so satisfying to escape, especially when the killer just kills that one guy that sacrifices himself
>>339766362
>>339766406
You're fucking right, hadn't considered that. I don't even care about this game but I'm waiting to get a code.
>>339766435
That's bullshit anon, you should complain.
>>339766507
>your friend has died
Wait what the fuck
>>339766507
Nigga you dead.
>No mic support
>No lobby
Come on son.
>>339766613
>No mic support
Would be nice to have a proximity based mic support thing. Problem is, fags are gonna use discord anyways.
>No lobby
They confirmed on the stream earlier today that they're working on it.
What are the point of lockers, seriously?
>>339766768
Can he hear us enter them ? if not, theres your answer
>>339766757
For proximity you really need to be right next to each other or the killer should be able to hear you.
I think a better idea would be a chat commands ala CS that only works at near point blank. Like:
>help me with this
>look out
>follow me
etc.
im gonna start a private lobby, anyone want in?
>All four survivors have toolboxes
Is it even possible to win this as a killer?
>>339766969
Id love to anon but I just started a game
While I wait a link of my own, someone give me a run down on what exactly this game is. I know it's 4 vs 1, but what sort of abilities does everyone have and what objectives are there?
>>339766962
>chat commands
No gestures and hand movements would work the best.
>>339766768
To hide preemptively. Shits useless if you're wounded or already in a chase but if you locker up near somewhere and use somebody else to bait away he sure as shit isn't going to check em. Then you can just get out and work on the gen.
>>339767010
If you hook one early enough you might be able to get the others to bleed out.
>>339766959
If the killer is close enough to hear you enter it, you deserve to be pulled out of it.
>>339766757
That's good, but they need to work on mics too. What fun is a horror game if you can't hear pubs scream?
>Overkill
I'm exceedingly worried about this game's future.
>>339767272
I got one with this, finally. Thanks bro.
>>339766962
actually this is a good idea. if you're sprinting, your character yells it out so the killer hears from a distance. If you're sneaking, hand signals are being used or low whispering, which the killer CAN hear but only in REALLY close proximity.
>>339767278
Honestly the screams they manage to squeal out as you hit them, not to mention when you hook the fuckers are satisfying as fuck and adds to the visceral feel of it.
>>339766959
Pre-emptive measure, not an escape if you're already hunted.

wtf. i got the video. i put in my steam info. then it just took me to the fucking no more codes page??
>>339767571
>>339767537
>not even a min apart
Wasn't Overkill making a Walking Dead game? What happened to that? Did it turn into this?
>>339767537
>>339767571
>>339767626
we did it bruhs. Thanks.
>>339767659
The original link has to be clicked by 3 different people who are all given that same code (4 total, 3 + original) then all 4 get codes. That's why it's the exact same link.
>>339767454
That would be great.
Assuming this game actually survives long enough to get more content like that after launch, it'd be fantastic to get horror classic knockoffs of shit like Alien, Predator, creature from the black lagoon, etc.
Why is there no ingame chat? whats the point of just lobby chat
>>339767230
It's not like I'm disagreeing with you
How are ya'll niggas gettin' beta keys? Aren't they out of codes?
On another note: Do you prefer survivor or killer? Killer feels kind of weak.
>>339768157
LMFAO FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's the use of a virginia plate ? And the coldwind cattle tag 81. What's their purpose ?
>>339768485
supposed to make the game lean towards certain levels. but since most levels are locked atm they do jack shit. so nevermind it for now
>first game
>killer teleports around and can pick up multiple people at same time
Nice game
>>339768571
Alright, thanks mate.
Despite this being the most obvious shill thread in months, I'm interested in the game mechanics. Can someone summarize succinctly said mechanics?
It's a twist on the shitty survival genre, right?
>>339768646
>T-THE SHILL BOOGYMAN!!!
Fuck off, retard.
>>339768746
Aww noo I wuined we wawty nooo
Anyway, someone who's not a retard can summarize the mechanics of this clearly outstanding game. When you get tired of link spam.
>>339768646
>you cant discuss any video game unless youre shilling!
free beta codes are being handed out and you cry about the dumbest shit, I dont even plan on buying but im enjoying the beta
>>339768867
Nope, go buy it.
>>339768871
Yeah, I'm totally not planning on buying either
Can someone summarize the gameplay mechanics because I don't want to click on Polygon to find out

The game is a 4v1 situation, all players, never any bots.
The survivors have to start generators to power up the exit, then hold down a lever so the door actually opens (the generators power that lever). Once the door is open and survivors run out the door, the game is over and they've won.
To help with this, the survivors can unlock tools that aid them. There's the medkit, which heals you faster and is the only tool that will allow you to heal yourself (everyone can heal eachother, but not themselves). There's the toolbox which allows you to sabotage hooks (more on that later) and increases the speed of which you repair generators and speed of sabotaging bear traps. The map is just that. But it doesn't work like a classical map. It charts the objectives you've already found. The game has no inbuilt radar, so you're dependant on landmarks to find your way.
There's also a hatch you can escape. It only opens when there's one survivor alive.

>finally get the bleeding out
>link steam account
>"no more codes"
why
>>339769125
Thank you
It's at least somewhat original but that endgame mechanic sounds pretty underwhelming. Hopefully someone will emulate house on the haunted hill or something like that next.

If the killer is close to you, your heartbeat gets louder and horror movie chase music starts playing.
If you're close enough to a survivor, the music cue will change still and you can chase them.
Smack the survivor once, and they will bleed. Follow the blood trail until you can knock them down, carry them over to a meat hook, and theyll "bleed out".
From the survivors pov, you can give chase and drop debris in front of the killer, and jump through obstacles to slow him down. You can also sabotage his traps.
The goal is to start generators so you can leave the map. That's pretty much the gist of it.
>>339769125
The killer has only one objective. Kill the survivors. The most used way to do this is by a sacrificial ritual. The ritual starts by hurting the survivors (2 hits and they're down.), picking them up and putting them on meathooks. The survivors start bleeding out, but if they don't get help from other survivors they will eventually die. The hooks have 3 phases to them. Regular bleeding out, spirit hooks active (survivor has to mash space to keep it going. if they stop, they die immediately) and finally death. If a survivor gets rescued from the hooks while the spirit hooks are active, they will not survive being put on one again. It'll be instant death. Basically the phases progress one step for each time you get put on hooks, the only exception being if you're healed by someone with a medkit.
(ok real killer thing coming, this was all about sacrifice)

I want summer to go.

Actually you know what, fuck this. i*m going to write a pastebin instead.

I can already see how this game mechanics breaks the pacing completely; everything you described is basically akin to waiting for something to charge, from the killing mechanics, ritual, to the endgame itself. Sounds like another 'survival' game relying on streamers and their kappa fiends.
>tfw taking down all the hooks
>Killer is frantically trying to find a hook buddy shakes him off.
>We all escape in the end while tea bagging the killer
What a game.
>>339769606
Well since you have to stay there yourself working the generator/door controls while passing skill checks that come up more often based on 'fear' while the killer is still skulking around for you its not just waiting, its about trying to cooperate with or take advantage of your teammates to try escape.
And the killer doesn't have to actually wait for shit. He can just leave the hooked dude and hunt for others but its up to him to read the situation and see if the others will actually come to try and help.
Played a couple games before heading to work, it's pretty fucking fun albeit a little simple.
Haven't tried killer yet. My only gripe so far is that they should give alternate hair colors/styles so you don't have 3 Meg's running around.
>>339769606
the pacing is frantic and works. The objectives aren't circular, meaning the survivors need to get generators going, while the killer goes after the survivors themselves. If the survivors all just hide and do nothing, they literally cannot win. The killer can't just stand around and keep watch on one area either.
>>339769938
Saved ;)
Setting up the engines feels like it takes too long, even with a buddy. And they don't change up the space bar QTE, I always know after the second successful push they'll have one that's super fast, etc.
>>339769970
WE DID IT
>>339769973
THANKS BRO
>>339769938
Got saved, thanks mangs.
>>339769973
thanks senpaitachi
So these codes are clearly coming out in waves.
>playing as killer
>survivors manage to destroy all the hooks
>still manage to sacrifice 2 of them
>hunt after and down the other 2
>they both bleed out
>match isn't ending
Welp.
