I can’t believe I found realllll hints to Gala switch and not my phone not handling the public map well (also, there is an actual theory about Gala switch or what I’ll call “demon Gala” theory but I want to talk about 2 Galatea theories in 1 since there’s possible maybe evidence of Galatea being part of the main story but I need to wait for right now)

Question how to save matches if everyone in my team is super bad at kiting/rescue??

Post image
6 Upvotes

as the title says… I have no idea…
lanternist gets downed instantly (no ts), puppeteer kills himself with louis trying to rescue, magician camps at dungeon the whole game after getting back up after ts rescue it’s very hard to enjoy the game if my random teammates are like this

Question How do you get better at cc?

1 Upvotes

I used to play copycat a lot back in 2024 but I haven’t played in a year because I’m absolutely terrible at that game mode especially if I actually get assigned as cc. Every time I would get assigned as cc I would get too nervous to even do anything and if I actually tried I would end up messing up which would make me feel bad for my cc teammates. Whenever I would try to actually kill someone I would either misuse my skill or accidentally kill in front of someone. How do you guys kill other players in this game without messing up or getting nervous? I want to start playing copycat again because I actually find it fun I just get nervous while playing 😭

Question How to kite Nightwatch after his buff now?

0 Upvotes

This hunter....i hate kiting him so much that even the hatred against kiting Naiad went all the way to him. I'll never understand how do pros find him too easy to kite, I just don't...NO. I just went to be a proud hunter main instead but sometimes i decide to play surv as well (both faction hell)

Now that he got buffed and works sometimes with the reworked listen, how to kite him now? Are there some changes, or the kiting strategy is the same?

What do u think?

Gameplay judge my horrible gameplay mary mains and give me tips please

6 Upvotes

this is my qm and first time i used bq outside of duo and bots lmaooo. i was thinking of maining her and my focus on this match was just to see how well i can chase real survivors in this setting. i think i got too reliant on naiad? for some reason when i climbed up the ranks i cant win anymore. i also didnt develop pallet mind gaming for hunters, which i realized when i played other hunters.

i was lucky to get a tie here. most of my mirrors were placed in a panic and i dont really know what to do when im waiting for the cooldown. this is also my first time encountering a survivor that could juke it. so yeah tips pleeaassee

Does anyone know if I can buy the cosplay somewhere or do I have to find each piece separately?​​ if so, where can I get the vests? Please help!

Discussion Anyone feel like Elite Hooded Shades spawn too frequently?

8 Upvotes

Ive been playing solo Nightmare mode on the new map, and I feel as if I’m being screwed over by two or more elite Hooded Shades (the red ones that can jumpscare you) spawning on top of eachother and attacking me at the same time. While they’re theoretically stunned by the lantern it’s difficult to manage two at the same time and even more difficult when other enemies start to dogpile on top of them.

I get that Nightmare mode is supposed to be difficult but I recall the elite green wraiths on the previous map had a similar issue at one time where they’d spawn wayyy too frequently. Seems like something that needs adjusting.

Compare the survivors, where Lucky Guy, Journalist, "Knight", Matador and "Prodigy" still don't have costumes. "Prodigy" only released in season 44 so it makes sense he doesn't have one. Matador is also only from season 41, but "Knight" is from season 34, Journalist is from all the way back in season 26, and Lucky Guy is from the game's launch.

Question Making account on CN server

6 Upvotes

Hello ~ I’m wondering if it’s possible to make an account on the chinese server without having a chinese id number!! You see im from Europe so my main account is NA/EU however due to studies ive moved to China as of this autumn. This also means that I can’t access the global version without vpn and I don’t dare to do that as I’m scared of being banned and losing the account (ping is gonna be horrid too). I have a chinese phonenumber but naturally I lack an id number, is there still a way to create or play on the chinese server? I honestly don’t really care for progress I just miss playing the game a ton.

Question Is old listen still there for new players?

0 Upvotes

I do love the listen rework however the previous listen was an amazing design to help newer players. And if they get the reworked version right off the bat instead of unlocking it later, I feel it would be to complicated for newer people to understand, driving them away from the game.
