I surely hope i didnt come off this way lol, whoops. the character can be great, only problem i have with some people is plain ignorance that the character will never work and will prove to be a problem forever, shes buggy and hopefully bhvr fixes the ai being so bad, knight has gone up from what ive seen so it shouldnt be hard for houndy right? I hope people still open up to houndy when she does get fixed because alot of people are comparing this to skull merchant, which i think is a horrendous thing because SM suffers from over negativity actually. Its kinda stubborn i think lol. hope they fix houndy quick.
I love Houndmaster when she works, but she has so many bugs and flaws, I get annoyed and stop playing her after a few games. I hope she gets a fix asap.
I don't understand these people. I get that they like the character but to get upset about people calling the killer trash as though we are calling THEM trash just because they identify with the character is absurd
i mean even with the bugs and jank u can still peoject a characters strengh based on what they have, now will the character reach that strength depends on how bhvr fixes those properly or not, if houndmaster had no bugs or jank she would be pretty fking strong and obnoxious
I want them to remove the drag function entirely and just have it hold the survivor in place, maybe give her 3% haste while a survivor is being held, and then give Snug a little radius around him while in chase mode so that if a survivor is within the radius while he run he’ll still jump at them, I feel like the attack is a little too precise rn to the point where it’s hard to use unless u send the dog in a straight line
Even if she's buggy, I'm at least happy BHVR tried. She feels unique enough. Yes she has a midrange projectile, but there's enough nuance to how the dog works to differentiate her from the rest of them. It can double vault, it can exit vaults in different directions, it hugs, and it can threaten areas while YOU walk up on the survivor. Dracula and Xeno came out polished, but their powers are so fricking derivative and boring, likely cuz they could simply copy the code from the powers they've already done before enough to make them work. Bugs can and will be ironed out eventually; a dull, derivative power can't be fixed without a rework.
I love the idea of the character but I dislike the execution of her. I feel like they have all the ingredients for her but she needed more time to bake. The feels like a very unfortunate consequence of a live service game on a schedule like this: if a character isn’t done you still push it out and fix it later. I want to main her because I love the stuff in her kit and I want to optimistic they will actually get her working properly sooner rather than later. But considering how long it took them to get Twins to the point they are finally at now I am not holding out hope.
She sucks as a killer and as a character. Not at the same levels of Skull Merchant, but is another killer that feels just like filler. Her mori is cool though.
DEImaster is the worst killer bhvr has ever made. She beats out dull merchant & I can’t I’m saying that. Nothing about thiccmaster makes any sense. Her outfit looks like something an 8 year old would throw together. Simpmaster is a fat voodoo/sailor/pirate/rich woman with high heels that has a random dog with her. If she’s a pirate why is the menu background a haunted mansion & not a ship or boat dock? Bhvr had no idea what they wanted with this chapter
In case you don’t know already, Bran, the blade of the tails of Cookies and Cream Xenomorph has been changed. I think it’s still a bit misaligned, but the blade isn’t anywhere as big as before.
yea i hate how buggy she is because she is pretty fun and i have a killer main crisis so i was hoping she might fix that but too buggy so sadly not hopefully they will fix her soon
No killer should ever release in this state. Forcing themselves into "AI" killers, when they have no time nor they are willing to do it properly is a intresting design choice. I said on PTB and I will say it again there is 0 gameplay reasons for Dog to not be visual only, when he is following you. It only introduces bugs.
Another point is I want BHVR to clean up theirs maps or remove hitboxes from small objects. Adding this type of objects in a game where there is shit load of killers interacting directly with enviroment hitboxes is just weird design choice.
Overall there will be some fixes, that gonna break again overtime and some of them BHVR would call "Feature". I'm looking forward to every new map and how "good" houndmaster is gonna work on them. Cool idea hold back by BHVR not giving killer enough time in development which happens too often.
I gotta say I’m not a fan of the entire character period, her design how she plays, I think it’s all poorly executed, we didn’t even know of her existence till it randomly popped up on test servers, there was no marketing, it all feels rushed, this feels like skull merchant 2z
Honestly I think its just bhvr should stop with winter releases. this happens yearly at this point, bhvr releases their new killer for the holiday financial quarter, its rushed and buggy as hell, they go on holiday for like a month, and then take an extra month or two to actually fix the character. It happened with Twins, With Artist, With Knight, I don't remember chucky being that buggy, but he had manual scamper back then which was NOT OKAY, and now houndmaster. like idk what it is, but this is a pattern of repeated trash.
hi, reasonable houndmaster fan here. she is very fun, shes voiced awesomely, i love snug with all my heart and soul, her vibes are immaculate but she is BUGGY at the moment. I'm still gonna play her cause I'm capable of having a good time even if I'm losing but I am very much looking forward to her being cleaned up a bit
I genuinely feel like the only houndmaster fan that realizes she incredibly broken in all aspects. So i have friends who call me weird cause I like the hound master and I have friends calling me weird because I say she’s broken. Not a fun position to be in 😭
It is crazy how the bugs I've experienced are none of the ones you've described. The dog in chase works very well imo, the hit box is actually pretty generous from my games.. however the bug where the dog is returning from search while you are mid chase with a survivor.. and the dog never officially "returns" to your side so you actually have to stop moving, give the survivor distance, so the dog can catch YOU and THEN start its chase cooldown – is insane. The dog also needs to warp to your side to initiate a chase launch because every single match my power will be off cooldown but the dog AI won't be in position to actually launch and it feels terrible. There's some bugs to squish, but she's definitely salvageable.
I like Houndmaster, don't take me wrong. But even on the PTB I noticed that her dog is really damn buggy. Sometimes unplayably so. And this is coming from someone who liked the base idea of the killer so I much I thought I might main her (when the bugs are ironed out).
I can never understand liking a character so much you downplay the issues wesker is my favorite killer In the game and he was buggy and had the hitbox issue on release yet I constantly Said he's great but needs work cause the bugs are frustrating, the hitbox was inconsistent bounding threw people etc but I always said they gotta fix those issues when someone would say he's bad or etc I never fed into it just said I agree they gotta fix his issues cause it's not great I was extremely positive but never downplayed the issues at hand and still to this day when wesker has had major bugs like recently the invisible car thing happened everytime you slammed somebody and it made survivors movement weird I didn't play him that entire time cause I didn't want to deal with that
I kid you not, i went into a custom match to test out how Houndmaster after i got her, got Lery's, sent Snug out to search, and he just sat there and did nothing for about 15 seconds. The very first action i took as her.

Not sure why some seem to glaze bhvr still. Time and time again their incompetence grows.
The Houndmaster
Love the concept for her. Hate the buggy execution
Great character concept, terrible execution
Pixelbushcore character in the opening,,,,,
She's fun yet miserable at the same time
The whole bug is basically
What the dog doing ?
I haven’t bought her yet but going up against her has mostly been pretty easy..

Iv never been so called out by an intro LMFAO. ❤

The best way to describe this character is working with a poorly trained dog.
Even if she's buggy, I'm at least happy BHVR tried. She feels unique enough.

damn that kaiser impression at the intro was on point

Im surprised there's hound master fans so quickly already lol
I gotta say I’m not a fan of the entire character period, her design how she plays, I think it’s all poorly executed, we didn’t even know of her existence till it randomly popped up on test servers, there was no marketing, it all feels rushed, this feels like skull merchant 2z
I was sooo frustrated playing with her at first but then I realized I’m addicted to dbd again. I can’t wait for the bugs to be patched.
Honestly I think its just bhvr should stop with winter releases. this happens yearly at this point, bhvr releases their new killer for the holiday financial quarter, its rushed and buggy as hell, they go on holiday for like a month, and then take an extra month or two to actually fix the character.

yeah naw, I'll pass on this killer, lol lol.
hi, reasonable houndmaster fan here.
she is very fun, shes voiced awesomely, i love snug with all my heart and soul, her vibes are immaculate
but she is BUGGY at the moment. I'm still gonna play her cause I'm capable of having a good time even if I'm losing but I am very much looking forward to her being cleaned up a bit
Why are u penguinz0
I genuinely feel like the only houndmaster fan that realizes she incredibly broken in all aspects. So i have friends who call me weird cause I like the hound master and I have friends calling me weird because I say she’s broken. Not a fun position to be in 😭
My Snug got stuck on a corn stalk on coldwind farm… ya know the map that is littered with corn stalks!

I love to play her but i hate the dogs ai
I like Houndmaster, don't take me wrong. But even on the PTB I noticed that her dog is really damn buggy. Sometimes unplayably so. And this is coming from someone who liked the base idea of the killer so I much I thought I might main her (when the bugs are ironed out).
I love Canes
I can never understand liking a character so much you downplay the issues wesker is my favorite killer In the game and he was buggy and had the hitbox issue on release yet I constantly Said he's great but needs work cause the bugs are frustrating, the hitbox was inconsistent bounding threw people etc but I always said they gotta fix those issues when someone would say he's bad or etc I never fed into it just said I agree they gotta fix his issues cause it's not great I was extremely positive but never downplayed the issues at hand and still to this day when wesker has had major bugs like recently the invisible car thing happened everytime you slammed somebody and it made survivors movement weird I didn't play him that entire time cause I didn't want to deal with that
A lot of times I was forced to play her like the way how people play Deathslingers, because of all buggy Snug is
I absolutely hate that this is the "Pirate" chapter
I kid you not, i went into a custom match to test out how Houndmaster after i got her, got Lery's, sent Snug out to search, and he just sat there and did nothing for about 15 seconds. The very first action i took as her.
