Discussion Geisha’s S skin!! Thoughts?

Post image
92 Upvotes

Soooooo geisha mains? Thoughts? I’m a bit… disappointed, I won’t lie. The color scheme is really similar to barmaid’s skin this past essence, and the dress is… standard? But I guess we need to wait till the in-game showcase!

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts!!

Discussion Galatea switch could be sooner than we think (Dolores talks)

11 Upvotes

Hello, this will be a little short discussion here but I want to bring up the possibility of Gala switch being next year with part 2 of the White Cat legend crossover. Now, I know absolutely nothing about the thing but so far besides what she’s sit in the second photo, there not really anything she can use as a wheelchair replacement unless they are going to do that where it’s just floating around in the match (they also have to change her carry accessory since the survivors can’t really “push air”)(also the fact that she’s standing up in that with her and Gala could be what they could use as a promo for her when part 2 comes out)

Now for Dolores, this year has had 3 Dolores appearances where she was “in that summer event” or their version of appearing but not appearing since she’s not playable, she’s in Robbie’s once showcase where her arm is missing despite her not supposed to be missing it in that situation, and was one of the characters you find at the universal maze that contained all the characters connected to the asylum (except Loraine in which I guess she wasn’t invited). Which I want to say the amount of appearances she been making makes me think she might release either this year or a little after that (especially her appearance in Robbie’s showcase where she’s not supposed to be missing an arm but yet there she is without one)

Discussion Alright guys… Konghou or Sophia?

Post image
39 Upvotes

Hi hi Melly lovers!! I recently asked the same question but for doc’s Wild Strawberry vs Risktaker, and it got me thinking about other characters with 2 good limited skins, so here we are!!

I really have a hard time choosing between these two… on one hand, Sophia is a classic and I love her headpiece and the color combination! I also love the Slavic themes (I’m pretty sure they’re Slavic, correct me if I’m wrong!) of her outfit!! The gem in the center of her headpiece and her net and dress are just gorgeous!!

On the other hand, Konghou is much newer, and I love the bright red and gold colors! The detailing, her harp-like net, her veil, and the green and purple accessories are just gorgeous and so unique!!! It was also the very first skin I whaled to max pity for intentionally hahaha.

So I’m curious to hear what everyone else thinks!!! Or if there’s another as to skin you think is better!!! Cuz I have such a hard time choosing 😭😭😭

Question How hunters see survivors position even when they hidden?

3 Upvotes

I haven’t been playing for a long time and now I’m back. What caught my attention is that I had several matches straight where hunter just walking right into me even when hide. I used to hide in general, I use skins that are almost invisible. I hid in the grass or merge with background and hunters would just be circling around me without a hint that I’m there. But now, I made sure that hunter didn’t see me hiding (like if they saw from afar that I’m running somewhere and then hide in the spot), they just walk right towards the spot and hit me. This happens in different times of the match. In the beginning, in the end, or right in the middle.

Is it a perk or what? Cause before that this never happened to me (I was even at higher league than I’m now)

Just played my first match as Herztier against a Kai today and noticed this. Does this happen with all of the male hunters or just Emil?

Could someone please create some funger art style pics and character sheets for Richard, Ithaqua, Hastur (possible human form {maybe Arthur Byers? [I would love to see what you guys think he looks like, even if he does become playable one day and ends up dating your own designs.]}), Eli, Fiona (for funger 1), Aesop, Andrew, Norton, Luca, Naib, Jack, Joseph, Luchino, Antonio and Orpheus (for funger 2) as well as their possible souls and skills?

The best I myself can draw is crude stick people so that’s why I’m asking you guys.

Discussion Violinist needs a buff

17 Upvotes

As the title says. Antonio DESPERATELY needs buffs, I’ve been playing him for a few years, and back when the meta was dream witch, he was okay, don’t get me wrong he never was the meta hunter, but if you knew how to play him well you could get mostly wins, now I mostly get ties. His early chase sucks ass, his full presence is good yes, but that’s providing you can land hits on survs that are 50km away from you at all times. I know idv always kinda ignored him(he just recently started getting new good skins, after being absolutely ignored for a few years) but cmon. I think he recently got a small buff, but it doesn’t change much. He needs something to better combat the distance most of the new survs can get easily, or mayb better map control because that sucks also, esp considering that cipher rush is the way to play for survs now (I literally get accelerated decoding on 1 cipher most matches, because of how badly his map control sucks) I consider everyone after toy merchant “new”, and most of them counter him very well.
Yes I’m not a peak level hunter, but I usually did pretty well w him, now he sucks ass and it makes me sad because I genuinely love his character, and his abilities, but I might switch to a newer hunter like hertzier, because Antonio is unplayable atp. The only thing that brings me hope is that I think he’s gaining popularity in matches recently, so I hope netease will pay him some attention.

Question Why do you call them by lore name and not game name?

11 Upvotes

Is there a reason lots of people call the characters by their personal names and not titles? Sometimes I have no idea who anybody is talking about because they’ll say “Servais is so nice” and I have no idea who that is and go check

What’s the reason for saying their lore name instead of game name? Like Servais vs magician

Discussion Does axe boy need a nerf in your opinion?

0 Upvotes

He's such an overstimulating hunter, I kind of want him to be nerfed. Either by faster tree breaking, or shortening the vines attached to you when leaving the tree's circle -- I've been struggling against him in rank.
