Farming points with friends as killer!

[LordKai1102]

It's a really huge problem, why is it impossible to invite friends officially into your killer lobby? And earn bloodpoints for it. (No Rank nor Achievements!)

So the core point:
I have like....25 or more bloody party streamers lying around on killers which I leveled with points from surv matches with friends during the event. (I'm surv main) I would appreciate to use these things with friends and viewers cause I frequently Livestreaming DbD.

The point is, I really suck at playing killer - and I'm honest with it. :P
But I refuse to give my party streamers to some cheesy guys who are "Rank 18-19" like my killer but suddenly play prestige 3 characters with flashlights / BNPs exactly 6 Seconds before the match starts - then playing of course better than any rank 10 surv. (I'm rank 10 surv currently, so I know what I'm talking about) At the end I got like about 3-4k points and they got like 15k+ (2x not calculated).
So these things just accumulate dust because I already shared all party streamers as a survivor. (Because 3 friends get profit from it)
But it's impossible to share the points with friends as a killer. This is just garbage.

This Download region change thing doesn't seems to work anymore, because either everyone is doing it - or it might get fixed - I don't know. I guess everyone does it, because I don't think someone called "Krautwurst" or "Русский" is playing frequently in Saudi Arabia or New Zealand...
Btw I'm German - so no offense right there boys. ;)

I see that getting achievements or even rank is a complete no go. That's fine.
But let us share offerings and dailys as friends together, because the game alone is quite more boring tbh.
Because like 80% of the community are surv mains (Of course - it's a 4 vs 1 game) and deleting their killer dailys because they are 1. not skilled enough to do them (lookin' at you - nurse daily) or 2. just can't do them with their friends together and thus prefer doing surv dailys.

Some guys will say now that farming points like this is bad. Because you could do feeding.
Feeding could also be done in other ways, so that's not an issue. And well... farming points is part of the game? Never played a good RPG where you have to farm/grind/backtrack a little bit sometimes?

So well there are some solutions:
1. Make it possible to invite friends as a killer in regular matches, but of course turn off rank progression and achievements in the case.
2. Make "Kill your friends" able to farm bloodpoints but let them use their own items/add-ons/offerings.
3. Make Bloodpoints related offerings transferable between killers/survs.

The pay off for the game could be better lobby consistence. Because a lot of people seems to still try lobby hopping to find each other in order to earning points.
So leaving would become a little less issue.
It would (3. suggestion) also give the option to hand some light adjustment offerings to "the other side" - because which surv want brighter moonlight? What?!

All of these solutions are quite easy - and would improve the multiplayer aspect in this....yeah well MP game.

1. People are already abusing some matches, having their friend as killer (while playing survivor), giving other people's location and sandbagging.
Here's a proof :

(If you want the most explicit proof, look at the end when he facecamp me while Claudette sandbags me, then they proceed to insult me in the chat)

2. Devs already said no. Especially because that would be bot exploitable.

3. Could do.

Report them with proof and move on.

1. Yeah that's quite ugly...Some people are just idiots. :/
But in a 4v1 filled with you friends nobody could do that.

2. I assume that's only possible for the killer with some "left clicking software". Still need 4 working Survs. It would be the same like in a normal match. Anyway kinda true nevertheless. I don't know if there are full functional surv bots out there.

3. I would also prefer this option. I just can't do anything with 9 party streamers on my nurse - because I really can't handle her.
I someone suggest waiting until I'm good enough: Lol that's not a suitable excuse for a game design mistake.
I also want to give a level 1 character which have to do some daily a quite good/usefull item/offering.

Ironically title of the thread is one of the reasons this don't exist.

[LordKai1102]

So you want to say it is wanted that a surv can share points with a bloody party streamer to friends and killer doesn't? :P
Than it would just be unbalanced and bad game design.
Well anyway would not surprise me, because this game in itself has terrible mechanics and is really not balanced.

Survivors are on the same "team" while killer is not. You can't compare that.
Beign able to invite friends to normal killer lobby will be abused and whined about even more than looping by BOTH sides if they ever implemented it.

lol... I like how you logically like to lay out why you want to cheat.

The only thing I agree with is the point 3 where we should be able to transfer offerings and items between survivors.... and offerings for killers. I have a feel that will come down the pipe in about 6 months to a year.

[Wyvernclaw Jack]

What did I just read?
"Let us make a game where we can all sit and farm chase and hook/unhook/pallet points with zero effort. This is a MP game so we should be allowed to cheat progression."

[LordKai1102]

In this games party streamers aren't team items. It's for everyone. Both teams. Except for surv who can share it with amigos, but killers who are just forever alone. *Here meme insert*
Why would devs give killer these items if they can't do anything rewarding for themselfs or friends? ;) For yourself you have those pudding thing.

I'm nice enough to let a single person escape when some surv idiots DC because they want to keep their precious flashlight or missed DS or his/her friend got killed and quickly want to play in the next lobby.
But I'm not an idiot-like-nice who gives potencial cheesy surv-smurfs points for teebaging me. So I keep those items until DbD reaches 1.0.0!
Oh Ooops. My bad.

I don't want to cheat - I just want an effective and multiplayer related form of acquire bloodpoints. If you give 100% more to 4 people. It should be friends. Blood is thicker than water. And that's the essence of community based streaming.

Cause they don't want people to farm up a million brand new parts, tombstone piece, or insta heals.

What I read is.. I just want to help boost my friends..

[LordKai1102]

Nah that's not it. You can farm that anyway pretty easily since We're gonna life forever + BBQ & chili.

DbD seems to have missed what a game should be capable of. You can get EXP in Rocket League while playing with friends, you can play in LoL with you friends and get EXP + points for Champ recruitment. And there are a dozen other games like that.

BTW: I don't want to farm like an idiot or use a bot - it's pretty boring on stream you know? ;D I just want to play normal games. For now there is only SWF, or playing Killer alone. If we play KYF everyone complains about the we don't get BP so we end up play in 4er teams SWF...

party streamers are a prize for SWF groups.
Party streamers are a community item that killers or survivors can toss out to amp up the blood points in a match for everyone.

Facepalm....anyway thanks for the tutorial.

Not many are going to agree with a suggestion for people to abuse and farm / boost their friends. Your arguments may seem valid to you, but it isn't to the Devs.

Give people and inch, they will take a mile. That is just the reality of it.
