How has your dbd experience been recently?

Some days are really good and others are completely trash so I would say dbd has been kinda meh for me. How about y’all?

    Same old same old. If you somehow didn't get hit while vaulting your failed dead hard exhaustion will.

    I was having a good time untill yesterday

    Every match was just filled with lagspikes, people teleporting all over the place

    I thought something was wrong with my connection first but it seems i'm not the only one with this issue

    I play a lot more killer these days and I haven't encountered any toxic turds in a while, so pretty decent.

    Solo survivor(red ranks ps 4) is terrible. Sweaty tryhard toxic killers and toxic bad teammates. And I see every killing on forums talking about gen speed is to fast and im like what games do they play.

    Mixed. Had some games were I totally dominated the survivors, while by other I had feel as I would run against a wall.

    Toolboxes everywhere, but well... Live is life... rhm... Dbd is dbd. Up and downs everywhere.

    Not fun, I'm a green rank killer so I just get red rank survivors every match, and the Devs have changed something so I can't hit the unhooking survivor any longer no matter the angle.

    Ehhh mixed bag, what i do hate is being put up with rank 2 3 4 survivors when im rank 10 killer.

    I mean, I just barely pip or just play even or de-pip, but what nonsense is it that I cant rank because even though im low rank im being paired with high rank that are good enough to make me not progress at all.....


    but overall not too bad.

    Potato teammates when i play solo survivor and super optimal surviviors when i play killer.

    Both sides feel pretty miserable.

    Gen speed is still too fast.

    Killer is a blast.

    Solo surv is still frustrating as hell tho

    yesterday I went up against toxic sabo gen rushing survivors all body blocking to I’m rank 7 and they all were rank 1 swf oh and they destroyed ruin Before I could get there

  • Gonzalo
    Gonzalo Member Posts: 48

    I think that no killer wants to go against optimal looping survivors like red ranks survivors so there are no red rank killer in your region so matchmaking is forced to choose you or something.

    Hell maybe not even 1 purple rank killer.

    I played Void bastards the last week and Im waiting for the new 4v1 multiplayer "Resident Evil Resistance" that will be included in RE3. DBD, well, Im bored of unlocking the same perks for new killers. I know, the grind was reduced, but killers without perks are boring. After 1000h its nothing but a boring routine.

    I played as nerfed spirit for the first time yesterday. I don't know what to say. They changed her other purple add ons, didn't they? She felt slower. What exactly did they do to her? It was bad, but not only because she felt slower, also because I played against a team with two bnp's; 4 gens done in three minutes, all gens done in 5. The overrall situation made me feel dissapointed with the nerfs.

    Dedicated server hits are pretty outrageous. You basically need to be running a vault build to not get smacked through windows these days.

    Being downed while exhausted happens way too much now with dead hard and I have moved onto sprint burst unfortunately.

    Bugs, unknown error/no network connection messages, dc's, terrible framerate. The usual DBD experience.

    If i compare it with the last three years it was average. Better than chained animations and worse than actually functioning sounds.

    This exactly. It's a shame because DbD is a great game. Unfortunately, the development team is extremely short-sighted. They fix one bug and create three more. They tweak one thing and destroy two others. They have zero quality assurance/control function to properly test their ideas. They use the PTB for that role, which is filled with griefers, and players that DC/Suicide when it does not go their way. You can't test that way.

    @JC316 I have done the same. Over the past year and a half I've gone more and more to killer play due to the frustration of solo survivor play. My friends all quit playing due to too many griefing play styles in a casual game, so I'm stuck with killer. Game is much better on this side than the other though.

    I stopped playing for multiple weeks, played again today and remembered why i stopped playing. Even the challenges aren't worth playing, just feels like a waste of 10 bucks. I will try again in a couple of months i think.

    Meh. Nerfed killers constantly and SWF is still OP.

  • Jplanas98
    Jplanas98 Member Posts: 532

    Awful. This matchmaking system has been complete dog #########, and then the devs decide to have the stupid idea of implementing the new rank reset system while matchmaking is broken. As rank 10 killer I'm getting nothing but rank 2 SWF. But as rank 9 survivor I'm facing rank 16 killers with rank 14 teammates.

    The devs also somehow manage to create more bugs than they fix, so having to deal with those haven't been fun.

    Mixed. Sometimes I have fun, sometimes I don't. I only have 20 hours put into the game since buying it in November, so I'm absolutely still completely trash. Like I'm truly terrible. And it's not so fun when I get randomly paired with higher ranked killers/survivors. I feel like I'm burdening the team half the time, which kinda sucks. But with games where everyone is terrible, I feel more comfortable making (and learning) from my mistakes. So, my enjoyment is completely dependent on the matchmaking system, which has been really random for me.

    As usual, ######### awful. Bugs that stop us from getting games and super long lobby times, people getting kicked from games, infinite loading screens, matchmaking is dire. Etc.

    That's wonderful. Its nice to know the Dwelfs are bringing festive cheer where ever they go.

    Really bad server connection on both sides even if I have good WiFi, something’s been up for the past to days. There’s been teleporting claudettes, Michael Jackson style walking megs and killers downing me 100 feet away. Good times man.

    My experience has been lots and lots of terrible matchmaking.

    It was fine for me before the Oni patch, idk what happened.

    As killer, 75% win rate lately and got most challenges done. As survivor, <50% win rate stuck on Dark Sense challenge. Overall much better than before and I'm enjoying myself.

    I find myself enjoying dbd more if I don't play everyday, so I play other games more often. I had more fun before dedicated servers, that's for sure

    Days where I crush butts, and days where I get smoked.

    Days where everyone is a good sport, and days where people tell me to kill myself and call me slurs.

    Just an average day in dbd.

    pallet- pallet- pallet- hit- pallet- pallet- they screw up, dead hard- pallet- pallet

    hook them- find someone else- pallet - pallet- hook- instant save in my face- borrowed time- decisive strike- all gens done.

    Gens can really go fast, it just needs good team mates. Sadly, you won't find good team mates in solo Q. Red ranks is filled with potatoes and the few good solo survivors either quitted the game or just can't take the frustration to play solo anymore and switched to play swf (like myself).

    From my experience: give me 3 good team mates (my skill level or slightly less)and voice chat and we make a joke about every killer.

    Two years ago this game was so survivor sided it wasn't even funny

  • DwightOP
    DwightOP Member Posts: 2,328

    Solo Q: awful af. Just nope, lost all interest playing solo survivor. To much frustration.

    Swf: fun. A lot of fun.

    Killer: to stressful. Can't experiment, always need to equip sweaty loudouts in case I verse a sweaty swf group


    This game is only fun and chill for swf.

    Solos and killers take the short end in this game.

  • LemeTheMeme

    I rarely play SWF, but as a solo survivor, it's been kinda difficult since it feels like the balance changes are around SWF.

    Also, map designs are really getting to me and how every killer has to rely on RNG, especially Huntress. With that said, as a Huntress main, I feel like with every patch this killer gets easier and easier to loop. Mainly due to some loops eye level loops being so unreliable with hatchet throws. I also noticed that there are more trees and debris so it's harder to hit long range hatchets. Hopefully she gets some QoL buffs, because she's still strong, but needs a little more lovin.

    However, I've been playing a lot more Plague and Spirit and I am having a lot of fun playing them! Plague can get frustrating, especially since you get like 0 deviousness points as her, but overall I enjoy them.

    With that being said, I'm just hopeful that the audio can get fixed, as well as some more perk balancing. (the meta has legit not changes since the SC nerf).
