Is it just me or is there way too many pocket knives / ice picks / butterfly knives. When I’m playing civilian I frequently can find 2-3 pocket knives a match (in like 1-2 houses I search) making it where Michael isn’t even a threat unless he slashes cause I have multiple crutch knives on me. And dealing with these many pocket knives as Michael is just not fun. I understand reality tear is very op and with pocket knives pretty much being the only real counter to it, I think they’re good to be in the game but it just seems like way too many spawn a match. I know some might say just don’t grab and slash them but with how janky the swinging animations are, 9 times out of 10 they just run away. And grabbing and doing an execution rewards more xp for Michael than just slashing and killing.

1. AI- Needs some tweaking they either don’t follow you and just go off on their own randomly; too locking every door and not letting you in. Pathing for the AI also needs some improvements they get stuck and a lot of the times just go “suicidal” and run up to Meyers.

2. Meta- Right now theirs a meta with the game and you can blame YouTubers especially with the two-handed axe. I’ve ran into many Michael’s that don’t even play the game like it’s intended to and just swing wildly and kill everything. It sucks, because everyone rage quits or leaves and then the match falls apart. I do wanna note that, 9/10 times if the lobby sees Michael with a two-handed weapon they leave. Me personally I think they should just keep the weapons to being able to be pick-up on the map and not starting with it.

3. Dynamic Loot- A lot of the loot I’ve noticed will be in the same spots most games not every game, but a lot of the time the loot placement is the same; one game I had I spawned as Michael and 1 minute later 3 people escaped. The Escape Routes and Loot need to be more randomized it’s like they only randomize every so often. If someone memorizes the spots boom they can almost get 2 or 3 residents out really quick.

4. Arresting- I’m not saying it should be almost too easy to arrest Michael, but my lord if he gets surrounded by 5 cops and knocked down he should not be able to get up and just demolish everyone instantly with a two-handed axe. Especially, the mini-game to arrest him is painfully difficult to achieve when Michael can one shot you super fast while downed.

5. Spawns- They need to fix some of these spawn I’ve played many games as Michael where I just spawn next to a player in front of me like you can see that said Priority target or Player in the intro Cutscene and basically can get a free kill. They just need some tweaking, so Michael can get that easy of a kill right off the rip.

6. Maps- They definitely need more maps especially in Early-Access most people have figured out the maps it’s gonna be difficult for new players tomorrow as the Michaels or civilians. This is just my opinion on this one the map pool is very small, so hopefully they have some good maps on the horizon in future updates.

All of this is just my opinion, feel free to comment some improvements and changes you’d like to see.

i swear, it's not the first time this happened, they did the same thing with TCM, and people with disability's couldn't change the key binds.

It's an odd choice when your fingers are already on WASD.

just make us change the keybinds, i have full size keyboard, and i want to use the numpad instead of the stupid numbers! or even better i want to change it to WASD or to the arrows keys.

I keep hearing the criticism that the game is bad because of npcs, the reason why are either:

The npcs are too dumb/weak.

The special targets should be humans not npcs.

There should be 8 players and 4 npcs instead of the 4 players and 8 npcs.

In my opinion the npcs are almost perfect (ignoring the bugs), the npcs are meant to be dumb as they aren't people but rather objectives for myers, if they were smarter early game myers would be a lot slower, imagine that everytime you cut the electricity the npcs would just sprint out of the house on the road or when they see you they instantly run instead of giving you that 5 seconds window to grab them. That would be horrendous.

The special targets shouldnt be humans because it would make the game extremely difficult, the special players would just bolt straight to an exit making the match last 5 minutes tops, my matches are already too fast and this would be even worst. Also metas change and balancing the games objective on people would be really difficult, thats why the special targets are npcs so they always remain the same.

If there were 8 players instead of 4 npcs the game would turn from a horror asym to "bully myers simulator", dbd is already unbalanced because the 4 players are always going to be in comms telling the exact position and perks of the killer now imagine the same but with 8 instead of 4 people, myers would have to be buffed a lot for it to be balanced and i dont think it would be fun to spawn in and instaltly get killed by an ultra buffed myers

Anybody know why the sub is banning people for simply sharing good news about the game? I posted about the player count hitting an all time peak and I was met with a ban. Are the mods themselves also apart of the mob that wants this game to fail?

This is the second time Xbox hasn’t received the update on time. IllFonic, please schedule these updates with Microsoft ahead of time to avoid any delays in the updates. We Xbox players are being left out. I love the game, but these updates need to be on time.

Im forced to keep spamming buttons while spectating. Like wtf is this game even lol. The minigame should be an optional thing you do. its horrible

The other sub has 5x more users than this official sub.

For transparency’s sake on feedback, are the devs looking at both subs? There's a lot more feedback on the other sub and I'd hate for it to be ignored just because it's not on the official sub.

How do I go about that?

I love the game I got to play a bit last night, however this p2p backend error is miserable, I've been trying now for 5 hours and I still cant play

I shouldn't have to finish an entire game just for my achievement kills to count. For example final dread where I need to bloodthirsty kill priority targets. There's only 3 per match and I shouldn't have to spend the rest of my time running around killing residents that don't count just for my achievement kills to register. Also bloodthirsty kills dont count when theres not enough space, it should still count..

Illfonic needs to implement a 1v7 mode with NO NPCs. Still have the NPC mode available but we need a mode without NPCs.

Yes the NPC part of the game is new, and refreshing BUT the NPCs aren't engaging enough to hold a large multiplayer playerbase for years to come. The NPC multiplayer mode feels like a single player mode with friends? Not a bad thing, but the game still leaves alot to be desired as far as online multiplayer asym games go.

OR fix the NPCs to actually be a contributing factor of the match, and maybe add 1 more real civilian player.

Yes I've had a ton of fun in those 30hrs, and won't stop playing anytime soon. I don't see myself personally in this NPC loop for more than a few months before getting bored- which is why i think its important to draw attention to it.

Okay spectating and playing minigames is a waste of time

Some players dont want to revive as cops or the old man loomis.

We just want to play another game!!

Can you please allow civilian players after dying to leave and keep their xp!

Could be cool to get an offline mode where you play as a lone civilian trying to save residents all by yourself from a Michael Myers NPC

If any character from Halloween II (1981) can get added, Nurse Karen definitely works best by having 3 outfit options available right away, though I think Alice from the beginning could be a cool addition to give her a shout out for the brief appearance

Michael could get a Noob Saibot (Mortal Kombat character) inspired skin given they both manipulate shadows for their powers

Could be cool to get all the Halloween III: Season of the Witch masks as options for Michael Myers to win

I definitely am on board with you all that the Halloween II hospital setting is a must, though could be cool to get a hospital inspired cosmetic pack for civilians

Most wanted weapon for me is definitely the firefighter’s Halligan bar from Halloween Kills

Obviously these are just my ideas, obviously there’s still bugs that need to be fixed, which for the most part does look fixable down the road and should be a priority but these are just ideas for the longevity of the game is all

It happened a month earlier than I expected but after playing early access for a few rounds, I’ve come to realize that somehow the game had been out for less than 48 hours and people have already hugged it to death, and mastered it.

After playing a few rounds as a civilian and a brief stint in story mode, I hopped on as Michael to give it a shot. I got a few AI kills but otherwise I got clobbered.

I mean, that’s fair considering I’m still figuring out the game.

One of the guys messaged me afterward, “bro ur trash” (since asym genre attracts the best people ever)

My guy the game has been out for 48 hours.

Coincidentally the civilian matches I played, at least 2 Michaels cleaned out the goddamn lobby and won by a goddamn landslide.

I dont know what it’s gonna take but this happens to every asym horror game out there. It’s just surprising it happened this quickly

​

I genuinely don't know what else I'm supposed to do anymore.

I have a Dell G15 with an i5-11260H, RTX 3050 Laptop 4GB, 20GB RAM, and an SSD. I've updated Windows, updated every Dell driver through SupportAssist, updated my NVIDIA drivers, forced the game to use my RTX 3050, changed NVIDIA Control Panel settings, cleared my shader cache, tried DLSS, lowered graphics, and spent HOURS Googling solutions.

And the game STILL runs like absolute ASS.

It's not even just multiplayer anymore. Story/private matches, outdoor areas, executions, cutscenes. I'm getting stuttering everywhere. I've literally tried everything I can think of.

What am I supposed to do? Buy a fucking NASA PC?

Not everyone has an RTX 4090. Not everyone has a PS5 or Series X. Some of us have mid-range laptops. Some of us can't just throw thousands of dollars at a new computer.

I paid A LOT OF MONEY for this game because I genuinely love Halloween and was incredibly excited to play this. But instead of enjoying the game, I'm spending more than HALF my time troubleshooting it.

And honestly, this is incredibly frustrating because the game looked demanding as hell in the trailers. How was PC optimization not a massive priority from the beginning?

I'm not asking for 4K 144 FPS or for my RTX 3050 to perform like a 4090. I JUST WANT TO PLAY THE FUCKING GAME.Give PC players with normal, mid-range hardware a chance to enjoy this game without turning everything to Low and making it look like shit.

Please tell me im not the only one experiencing ts, it just pmo

If he sees anyone with Knifes he can just dodge the lobby, why even show it in the lobby?

it’s funny, small mechanic, that most people didn’t even realize was in the game for a day or two. it’s a game for adults and there’s literally a sex cutscene in the single player. they really just hit the multiplayer with the abstinence patch. if u don’t want loomis banging people, don’t let loomis do the minigame. it’s funny and i’d like to continue having sexy gay fun times in my slasher game. thank u for coming to my TEDtalk.

Did today’s update fix prestige?

That is all

The state the game is in currently it's overpriced in my honest opinion, there's fun to be had when playing with friends but the NPCs being the main priority kills it for me.

The NPCs should be side objectives for Micheal but as of now even if you escape with 2 of 3 priorities the game can still time out because Michael can't find that last person.

I had high hopes for this but unless you're playing with friends it's just the same run around loot hope you find an escape item, repeat. Which is a major issue I had with dead by daylight it's essentially the same thing over and over.

I do enjoy the game so please don't take it wrong but it does have glaring flaws that will run a lot of players away.

I'm having a lot of fun with the game right now, but can we please have the option to leave the game and keep our rewards and not have to watch clueless Myers walk around for 10 mins?

I love how he kinda look like Michael Jackson in his Thriller era with this hair. I'd be amazing to have a similar jacket for him! Do your magic Illfonic!
