The dead by daylight tileset looks too similar to traps

[Ghost]

Am I the only one sometimes struggling to differentiate some traps from tiles on the new dbd tileset? Specifically the gray metallic ones.

[Hillbilly_Dave]

Oh is that where those are coming from? I was wondering why I don't have that tileset. Yes the traps blend into that tileset very well.

I've noticed that too, although I go slow enough it isn't too much of an issue usually.

If you were trying to go fast or if in the heat of the moment (like in combat), then they're pretty hard to see with that specific tile.

[Trichouette]

I agree.
Especially the boards with light and the weird broken engine.

[Bazongo]

easy fix is to make them cost 1-2 build point so you cant spam it
i think distractions are good but when they're spammable it's just annoying

[Tripas]

Yeah, I've had a builder just spam the generator tile and scratch marks all over the place, so the map became an ungodly mess which hurt to look at. It wasn't even a particularly hard map (I think I died in it once), so that just smacks of someone who sucks at laying traps and is just relying on visual confusion to get kills.

I have to agree to a certain extent.
I have all the tilesets, including the dbd and necropolis.

Necro looks so cool yet so easy to see traps so I can bet my new base being built with it in mind will be hella easy and weak.
The DbD tileset is distracting and blends traps in too well.

Tilesets being under and overpowered is an issue imo.

If they are going to allow some tilesets to be like this naturally, then I think all traps should be able to have the current main tileset "shader decal" so at least the other sets have a chance to blend them in the same way. (i.e. I can put the necro tile shader decals on traps so they blend in well instead of standing out like sore thumbs)

Or go the other way around and have traps automatically change color depending on the tiles it's surrounded by, for example in the DBD tileset it could gain a slight gold tint.

This is the best solution imo and less work for the builder

Anything that makes it similar.

Though....Smart angles and holocubes are how traps should really be "hidden" in my full opinion about it tbh. Tileset blending is kinda annoying and more punishing for people with visual issues.

[Pure Hostility]

Thing with DbD tileset is... it looks really nice, due to being dark and grim. Makes interiors look really "spooky" and "dark", which is really nice.

They do blend in a bit, but just take things slowly, it won't be an issue in the long run. You can spot the difference between decor generator/light planks vs. traps, but dbd generator is indeed the closest you can get to what looks like a trap.

[MessiahofMelons]

Have to agree, people attack the generator like crazy

[Ratsplat]

I noticed this too, but the least of my worries currently.

[Shuyin178]

I love that it's like that. It will cause people to become more cautious.

[Redmacinton]

Honestly first time i saw those tilset i used more time to look for traps and attacked the generators cause i didn't know.
