Really Hate That Nintendo Doesn’t Allow Messaging
Just had a game where 3 clauds left me to die on hook after the last gen was done. 1 of them was being chased after trying to save me so I don’t blame her. But the other 2 just waited by both exit gates and stood there. I went into struggle still nothing. I’m mainly angry about it because I ran the killer around for 4 gens and they couldn’t even help in the end after I literally gave them the freedom to do gens with no worry about being caught.
Finally as I’m about to die one of them comes towards me but oh? They found hatch so instead of going to me she popped the hatch and left. The other one? Hiding in a locker by the gate across the map. It’s also not like they didn’t know what was going on because I have kindred so they could all see where they were. So they blatantly just did not care. I consider that gameplay sabotage tbh because they had the entirety of 2 hook phases to get me and refused to do so after all gens were done and both exit gates were 99%.
Best of all, the claud that tried to save me but got chased got knocked hooked, the other person unhooked them and ran. Killer just knocks her again and carries her to the open exit gate and lets her escape. I really honestly feel like I have encountered WAY more toxicity on switch than I have on Xbox.
I reallllllly wish Nintendo allowed messaging and party chat so I could have a few words with them because honestly that’s just fked up to just abandon someone and not give a flying Fck. In my opinion a lot of players both killers and survivors on Switch are way bigger a holes than on Xbox or other platforms because they know u can’t message them or do anything to call them out. That’s just based on my personal experience with the game. Yes there’s toxicity on every platform but I feel switch has the biggest pool of it.

one of the reasons why most of the times coonsoles games dont have chat is because it's sometimes useless due to how much time u can take typing, everyone could leave already, also nintendo switch's keyboard pauses the game video while you tye which could cause in some rare ocasions inestability with the connection, in my case I can't even chat on Smite other than GG or something because when I tye something quite long the game freezes for a minute and kicks me

So no toxic messages at all? No messages is a good thing because people can't behave. Sometimes like this example it can be a good thing but mostly people will write just GG or some toxic words. Would not be surprising if they had answer you with something nasty, so just ignore them and play next game.

Indeed, toxic people are why we can't have nice things. I wish they'd all be banned from every game until they learned to behave, but alas.

Honestly, I couldn't imagine what a horrendous experience this must be on Switch in general. If the PS4 catches fire every time I started DBD on it, I could just imagine the violence...

Well I’m speaking more of after the match like how on Xbox you can directly message people etc . Not the PC version where it’s only after the game and that’s it.

the reason you wish you could message is the reason they dont allow it, no one playing a game wants to be messaged by someone they just killed in a game or let die.

Probably best they don't have it for that reason. Though sometimes I'd like to send a "GG" to players, let them know there's no hard feelings. Though I'd really like to know what this Dwight was thinking when I showed him the hatch, went to die so the game could end, and he didn't stay at the hatch.

Im glad Switch doesnt have messaging. I have an 8 year old nephew that plays my file when he visits and I'm glad no one can yell at him if hes too nervous for a save.

Yeah man. I wish you could send hate mail, too!
get over yourself.

No one is under the obligation of saving anyone else on the hook. Doesn't matter how unbelievably easy it might be.
Just move on.

People can play how they like as long as they aren't cheating/actively trying to ruin the game. I'd love if Xbox/Steam didn't have messages.
I've been told to kill myself/mass reported/told to die from a terminal illness upwards of 200 times since i started in 2017. Simply because if NOED was active I'd just leave. Or my teammates all got downed around 1 hook and the killer rightfully camped them all so I repaired gens and grabbed the hatch.
If you're teammates leave you on the hook to instead focus on an escape thats perfectly reasonable.
