This has to stop! ~Storytime~ kind of
PS4
Killer: Doctor
I'm the survivor, rank 1, and I'm going insane. (Wish I'd remembered to record the match).
I'll try to keep this brief but debatably entertaining. We're on Ormond, the killer is shocking Feng. She get's downed then instantly disconnects. Lucky for her, she left this shitshow early. Me and the Jake work on separate generators while Claudette gives crazy man the run around. By the time Claudette gets hooked, we've completed three generators. Doctor decides to camp Claudette until she is literally 1 second away from dying before I save her. I save her, killer ignores me and re-hooks the Claudette. Now she's back at the campfire leaving me and the Jake alone.
(Why do you camp and tunnel?)
Fast forward. It's Jake's turn to run the mad man around. I complete another generator during this time and proceed to the last gen but unfortunately Jake gets slugged.
(It's sweat for 4K time!)
I'm making my way to Jake while trying to remain undetected to pick him up. I pick him up and the killer comes back and chases Jake again. He slugs him again and I'm near screaming because of that darn insanity meter. I hide in a locker nearby to keep from giving my location away when I notice Jake crawling and shaking toward my locker.....with the killer right behind him.
(Why are you doing this, Jake? The betrayal. Don't you want me to help you? Don't you know lockers help keep you sane!?).
Fast forward. I'm being chased by the scary man across the map. I eventually run past the hatch. Jake bleeds out and I get slugged precisely on top of the hatch and I escape.
I escaped such an annoying player. I wanted to message them some words but their settings prevented me from doing that. The coward.
TL;DR Stop camping. And stop ratting out your fellow survivors when you feel you want them to die along with you.
Thanks for reading my grief.

If you want to stop it press the share button on your controller, save the clip, report him in game for working with killer, snip the video, fill out the report form and attach clip. It is a pain in the ass but your title says "this has to stop".
Posting here won't stop it. Also don't DM people talking trash it only adds to toxicity.

So it seems you usually send the killers messages if they don't play how you want.
This is one major part what makes the DbD community so toxic.
If you can't say "gg", just move on.

That's the thing. I did want to say "gg".......among other things ?. But the point is, is that I would have still said it.
@Might_Oakk I wasn't mad at the Jake. I just didn't like that he felt the need to give away my location instead of going somewhere else. Had it been me, I would have crawled into a corner or something.

A "gg, but..." is not a "gg".
When you write killers messages after the match, do you think this is going to change anything? No killer is going to say "oh, I got harassed for tunneling and camping, I'll better stop doing this".
Btw: Even killers who don't tunnel and camp, who in fact play very generously, still get insulted and harassed after matches end. So why would they feel motivated to play nice?

And this ladies and gentlemen is how the stereotypes of survivors is made, OP complains about camping and tunneling, and then attempts to harass the killer after the match.
Yes, the jake was in the wrong and should be reported, but you are going to attempt to harass and insult the killer after the match, for committing to a playstyle?
Fun fact: Blame your teammates not the killer.
Yk its people like you that made me stop being "nice" to survivors. I got really tired of be insulted almost every game based on what I did in the match. Usually if like 2-3 people DCed, I would let the survivors go, but not anymore.
8 -
@DaGreenBolt 100% agreed. Harassment really changed killers. If I think back two years ago, killers gifted me the hatch all the time. Now this happens maybe once a month, if even.

Part of this is also that the emblem system can heavily punish killers who care about ranking if they don't get that last kill.

Killer can play whatever he feels like playing , don't get in the forums to say "camping is bad , tunneling is bad" if killer wants to camp , let him camp , and do gens , person on the hook has to be left 4 dead , on the other side the match will be over , and killer only got 1 kill ( you can even bring Borrowed time , or ds to counter camp , and how servers are working , grabs are not a reality) you can literally punish the killer for camping and tunneling

Honestly if more than 1 person dcs just ######### kill me, I want to die at that point anyways. I’d rather play a real game. I’ll just take my depip and die. I don’t even run off when they spot me at that point. Smack and hook me, let’s get this over with.

Some of you guys are literally assuming, yes assuming that I wanted to harass the killer. You literally don't know what I wanted to say to them had I been able to.
This was just a little excerpt that I wanted to share. Sorry if any of you took it as a negative.
1 -
You wrote, I quote: "I wanted to message them some words but their settings prevented me from doing that. The coward."
Nobody was "assuming" you wanted to trashtalk/harass. You wrote it yourself. You cannot expect that anybody is going to applaud you for that.
I suggest that you change your behaviour if you want this community to become less toxic.

Preach sista
I use to let the last one go if things didnt work out in their favor but the majority of the survivors community has degraded to the point to where even if I sit and stare at the wall the whole game SOMEONE will still complain or have some nasty remark to say after the game. I'm done being nice. I'm numb to em all. Everyone dies.
3 -
Op is right, "some words" does not inherently mean trash talk. I would assume that was what was going to happen, but that's all it is, assumption.
0 -
Btw: Even killers who don't tunnel and camp, who in fact play very generously, still get insulted and harassed after matches end. So why would they feel motivated to play nice?
I second this
4 -
You don't say some words, and then end your sentence with "the coward" if you want to say something informative. Saying "the coward" implies you are about to harass someone.
5 -
@DaGreenBolt @NoShinyPony Nope. Assumptions are assumptions and that's where our opinions differ. Really, I just wanted to say some constructive criticism on their playstyle and end it with a "gg". For better or worse, most players want no incoming messages so it kind of sucks, and to me it's annoying and cowardly.
Overall, I said what I said, I shared the details of my match with you guys, thanks for reading, and now it's done. On to the next post 😇.

Most killers already sick of "gg camper tunneler" messages. Unless you didn't want to mention the part, where he camped, of course. Disabling messages is a sign of a killer player caring about his sanity.
1 -
Okay, OP. I'll bite. What would you have said if the Killer did not have their settings set up so you could not?
0 -
@TAG Sheesh. After I said I was done with this post.
I would have said something along the lines of, "You would get more kills and more points effectively if you didn't wait around for a person to die each time. Your playstyle would probably piss people off but whatever. Gg anyway."
0 -
And your inability to say that is enough for you to label them a coward?
1 -
Yes. Maybe "coward" is too mean for you guys, but yes.
0 -
That makes it hard to believe that your intentions were benign.
4 -
Understood.

Everyones already said it, but no more Mr. Nice Killer. I've played by all the rules, and still get taunted end of match and during.
Sorry, I'll play be "survivor rules" when you start playing by my killer rules, which includes:
- No body blocking (this is my #1 pet peeve with playing killer - its an affront to the chore idea of the game)
- No taunting and healing on the other-side of palettes because you have no fear.
- Don't run for infinite loops every time.
- Don't crawl under the hook while someone is on it to waste my time.
Yes, they're all "legit strategies", but so is camping and tunneling. So deal.
0 -
Ya it implies that, which is why I would assume that was the intent. OP is still technically correct (the best kind of correct), he did not explicitly say that he was going to throw salt at him, or flame him, or troll him, or anything else.

typical victim shaming. pathetic.
the survivor already has to deal with a camping, tunneling doctor and a dc... but he should be mad at Jake or claudette. I could understand being mad at Feng.
but claudette, she's not even going to get to play in this round... The killer decided that she's only going to be allowed to play hook simulator (tap buttons to enjoy your stay).
and Jake, he likely just wanted to get the round over with at this point...
meanwhile, the killer is being toxic and sweaty... I main killer and it drives me up a wall to see my fellow killers play like this... it ruins the game. 4 people have a ######### round so that 1 loser can get his rocks off by bullying them.
3 -
You could of had a higher chance of making it out if the Feng didn't DC.
😐
Just saying
0 -
I wonder if the claudette gave the doc a tbag after every pallet xD. Then I would understand the camp.
And honestly the killer can play like he wants. Survs do the same so why complaining?
Doc also is insanely weak compared to other killers. So tunnel time.
1 -
Victim shaming?
Dude it doesn't matter how the killer played, you don't get to harass the killer for committing to a playstyle.
The OP was prepared to harass and trash talk the killer for just camping and tunneling (aka a playstyle), also there are many perks out there that counter camping and tunneling, if you don't use them that's on you.
1 -
@DaGreenBolt No, I wasn't. I already shared what I wanted to say a few posts ago. Try again.
0 -
depending on how you play will determine whether I’m a douche as survivor to you or not. Did most of the generators? I will gladly kill myself on hook or crawl away from you so you can find hatch. If you did literally nothing you best have gotten in a locker before hand cause I’m crawling torwards you and not killing myself on the hook

Occasionally Killers have been known to kill three and let the last one go free, there is no rule that they do this, but its appreciated every time I am last survivor.
I have witnessed end game chats where a player uses bad words towards the killer, you know the sort of words I mean. I will simply say gg and exit if I am upset as I know killer s are able to remember names and I would prefer not to have a vendetta directed towards me due to calling the killer a rude word.
0 -
Everyone is defending the killer in this story quickly dismissing he teamed with someone he slugged to find another survivor. The tattling survivor and the killer who's following where he leads are both toxic garbage here but yes its this survivors fault that the killer has committed to the play style of slugging and following the snitch.
Honestly this is why I swf and lead the killer away from hatches when I'm downed. The garbage killer thinks we're teaming and gets lead to a lost kill. Then the killer messages GGEZ literally every time. Stop pretending survivors who get upset at people cheating are the toxic ones 😂 😂
1 -
Then tell me why you said this about the killer and you quote: "I escaped such an annoying player. I wanted to message them some words but their settings prevented me from doing that. The coward."
No one says "the coward" when you are trying to give some helpful tips.
