Looking for some more up-to-date things I wish I'd done since the beginning? 🤔💭

[meergrad]

Ngl when I look back at the time where I started with idv, I wish I could play idv without my current knowledge again. It just was soo funny to run around without an aim, it was so confusing and chaotic, and I kinda enjoyed that

From a beta player of this game
1. Don't decode together in early game cos when you're decoding together at early game you are disrupting cipher rush (except when the hunter is joseph, the one with the cameras)
2. When you are a decoder, it's okay to hide at the start of the match first then just decode when you know that someone is being chase by the hunter (you'll know it when someone ping is hunter is near me or hunter is close, hide)
3. If you are a rescuer pls decode in the middle of the map (especially on big maps like moonlit and etc), to instantly rotate when someone is chaired (exception is when you are a rescuer team which is a tactic sometimes use on high ranks)
4. Don't hesitate to use items :) (I'll try not to explain this cos it's basic common sense)
5. If you are an injured doctor and you are the last surv don't do a full heal immediately cos syringe can reset the crow timer
6. Pls decode when someone is being chase :)
7. Don't lose hope immediately when someone gets terror shock or kited 5 seconds at early game but when ur team somehow does just take ur time decoding and just rescue after half or when the chair time is near flight, to waste as much time for hunter cos ur team m8 got downed early
8. When you're a rescuer pls pls pls use the chair time before rescuing like pls rescue only when the chair is near half or near flight
*Edit*
9. When kiting, know ur teammates positions so you will know where to kite and where not to kite

Welp I gtg now online class is bout to start hope this tips help yah fam

From a not so experienced Joseph main, a tip: If the camera world is open, pls don't put down graffities when decoding, because when I'm in camera world, I can hear them being putted down, so I know that you're there. (if I'm close)

[Ali_delightful]

The biggest tip for me which was a game-changer was priming a cipher. NO one teaches you this and I had to find out what it was from angry teammates. xD I originally thought the objective was just to pop all of the ciphers, last one included, as fast as possible..not taking into consideration if ppl are on chair or not.

[tracysimp]

tip: you don't have to memorize the spawn points, but instead make routes based on your spawn as hunter. like i spawn here, so the closest survivor is most of the time here

[BrandonYUMad]

came to the game for Danganronpa, stayed for the crazy good atmosphere (and gameplay, obviously). These tips were super useful, especially since I’m still learning the game lol. Thanks!

10:23 also if there's a green circle means that the seer has sended his owl to protect that survivor and currently has that shield.
and if it is like a pink aura it means that that survivor is using euphoria (the perfume).
if there's a bubble means that they currently have another shield.

[keigh]

So uh, I don't know if this is correct or not, feel free to correct me, but you can actually know dream witch is near you if you play prisoner! If you connect two ciphers together, the "wires" between the bars will flicker as if it's about to be cut if there's a hunter near the cipher (idk if this only works for the cipher you're currently touching or for both). I actually got away from dream witch because the whole flickering thing alerted me lol-

[aarainaknhawa]

8:55 this is for everyone not just newbie: when joseph takes photo please decode together unlike dealing with other hunters when the photo period is done it takes half of your decoded bit but if you decode together it’s faster so you can finish the cipher before it takes half of your decoded bit away

[goodnames]

I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE RED THING ON THE HUMAN ICON! now i realise how hunters knew where i was.... Time to get to unicorn!!!!

[Axyierl]

9:54 oh God I play this game from season one and I never even noticed that. I always thought it was a you know cosmetic thing to make the game look nice. I always just memorize it. I think it's letrally the only thing I didn't known about this game lmao

[cxiaohaver]

C badge photo here

Although decoding in photo world can help avoid being terror shocked, from the hunter perspective from some distance off it is possible to see survs decoding in photo world (they’ll show with a blue outline), depending on when in the game and the cipher, I will sometimes go into real world then back into photo world to terror shock them in there, I’m guessing I’m not the only photo who does this, so against a photo, always be ready to move fast to avoid the terror shock

[mailmbui]

Thank YOU!!! I’ve been playing all wrong and I kept getting chaired or found just out of the blue! I was so confused and almost quit the game entirely thank you!!! Now I know and this will definitely improve my gameplay!

[aster]

i just started playing a week ago and i honestly don't know what im doing LMAO i would freak out when the hunter chases me and I'd loose sight to where i am supposed to go or what im supposed to do and just run off around the map not knowing what to do😭

[rickzdomingo]

I still don't understand the cipher wiggling 😤 that's why I'm having a hard time playing hunter sometimes 😭

[kiddoinwall]

11:10 I recommend going to shack if u spawn here, because there are two survivors close to each other there, but its optional because where u went to wasnt a bad route, the shack route is just the favourite spawn for Joseph because he can down two images there

[Celeste_bowe]

I've been playing IDV for quite some time now and I still consider myself a beginner. If you don't get IDV or feel like your bad at it, that's fine! It takes quite a while to figure out all the mechanics and what to do. I'm someone who plays for the lore and I'm not all that great when it comes to gameplay. Also, something to note is that even if you are an amazing player, the wrong team can really screw you up. The game is based on teamwork so keep that in mind!


BTW when i say ive been playing it for quite some time, i mean a loooong timei was there during the first few moths of the game

[pumpkinmeep]

Ha, as a Wu chang and Joseph main myself, i memorized all the Survivors spawns while playing as survivor most of the time, Now i can say that I have a little bit of control over the map(Even when they hide at the start since they know I'm using joseph), and as Wu chang I can teleport right to one spawn and get a free hit in the beginning!

, ,, I was the Imposter while playing as survivor for too long 😳

[aceyyy]

i've been playing this game since a bit before season 8 and i never knew about 9:58 whoa
