Tome is ruining DbD....

I've seen more crap play in the last two days than ever before ..... farm sessions, 3 people hook diving to get their "unhook 25 survivors" challenge, basement camping, toxic behaviors.


This seriously needs thought out again, even one person screwing around can ruin the match. The game is built around 4v1 ... even if you don't care about Tome the odds are the other 3 and the killer do. So you get held hostage by them.


Some in the community and probably the DbD team thinks this, "they got 3 weeks to do this tome, people will just naturally get them as they play."


Bull crap. People want them done and they want them done now. It's human nature. They put a challenge in front of the community and then tell people "take it easy", it completely disregards the psychology of human behavior.


One more thing. You give people just TWO paths to take from the start, what the heck? So you have just tons of people going for 25 unhooks then you got the killer side with trappers everywhere and people just playing like jerks to get their basement hooking quota and other bull crap.


DbD needs to take a design lession and I'm not taking about coding. You need someone in the room talking about how this crap will play out in reality.


Thanks for listening. I'm going to go back to trying to unhook 2 people during EGC.

    Tome was meant to be this additional thing you can do to earn cosmetics along with the Rift but it's taken over every aspect of the game. People play like lunatics.

    The Tome wouldn't have been that bad if it wasn't connected to the Rift because the challenges within wouldn't be as bullshit, since it would only want some player interaction as they unlock lore and have fun.

    But since they hooked the two things up.. the Archives took a beaten in order to stop players from "beating" it so that they'd rush through the Rift. Cannot have players complete the Rift. There's no value in that.
