    Not the dc ers, tunnelers, or lame games thats for sure. I like looping killers I guess.

    Still enjoyed it, thirsty for bloodpoints, and for my 3,5 years survivor-killer grind.

    It definitely is a gamble. Some days I have games where I'll be matched against people far more experienced than me, and other days I'll have matches where everything will go just right. It's almost like the game does this on purpose to ensure that you don't abandon it completely! 😄

    I've suspected the same myself, but then again i played raid shadow legends for almost a year and their suspicious lootbox drops every time I stopped spending for a month or two and only did cb and barely rushed through dailies most days even made me paranoid. Now I look at any binge of good fortune/luck suspiciously especially at periods my interest declines and the login frequency, durations and activity while on games can show it to devs and their algorithms. The matrix has you.

    It's a good social game. I also love those moments where you make a really excellent play - you feel like you're on top of the world.

    It's kind of like golf for me in a weird way. That's also a good social game where I live for those rare moments of brilliance. Like, I might average a triple bogey, but if I hit a couple great shots and make some good contact I still leave the course in a good mood and wanting to play more.

    Thank God this game doesn't have loot boxes. I don't play multiplayer games, but I made an exception with DBD. But if this game ever starts creeping into that territory, I'll drop it like a bad habit.

    Yeah that's the downside with this game. Sometimes you can get games that are really fun(!), even if you lose, but the matchmaking ensures that most of the time you're matched with people far outside your skill level. I don't mind losing, but I don't want to be steamrolled either.

    Nothing, I'm starting to drift away from dbd. Hello Friday the 13th!

    I burnt out about 4 times playing this game and everytime I come back its always better than I remember. I recently came back after 2 months just because I heard of mmr. Sure it wasn't good but was entertained.

    Point is that it's always healthy taking breaks and realizing that it is all better.

    It's definitely important to take breaks, I couldn't agree more on that! Unfortunately those breaks are what proved to be detrimental to DBD. Every month there's a rank reset, and should you stop playing for a number of months you'll be reset all the way back to 20 despite not being a true rank 20.

    This is why having a ranking system built around skill was important to have. Hopefully the devs can fix the MMR and get it back up and running.

    This is a good question. I enjoy the game (sometimes), I enjoy the clothes and characters overall, I have invested a lot of time already and so I keep playing. Also, my friends play the game too and sometimes we play together (they usually play less days than me, but we enjoy when we can play together and see who will mess things up and end up making us all die)

    I like the concept of asymmetric games. Evolve was a blast, and deep (the shark game) also.

    This game is definitely more enjoyable with friends. There just needs to be something stronger for the killer (or possibly a nerf to survivors) to help balance the overpowered ability that is SWF.

    yeah ironically I picked up eso, after leaving shortly after it's beta and launch periods, when it came out with the "one tamtriel" overhaul and left it again shortly after when the lootboxes came and I saw how wiitartay their forum fanboys got over the announcement of the lootboxes coming ("crown crates" or ######### ever they called those). I went the entire last decade not feeding into any of that just to get wheeled into raid shadow legends last year lol. But we all make mistakes.

    It's a shame we don't have sig lines here.

    honestly, being bored of the other 3 games i play regularly,i ll be like playing one game, then say "uh... i wanna play this one now" and so on until i go to dbd, it takes roughly one dbd game to jump to another one of the 4 games if i get tunneled or camped

    When forgetting about it's problems, I love this game so much and it's pretty much my favourite online game. The characters have a good design (both killers and survivors), unlike a lot of other online games who have a tendency to go on the obvious way. It feels very rewarding to kill a survivors or escape the trial. Perks and add-ons keep the experience fresh along with the killer's power.

    As a survivor main, pulling things off like a 360, 180, window tech, dead hard play, or any other juke play, becouse its just funny and satisfying to do it.

    If i go against a good killer, i still try it, not becouse i want to be toxic, but just becouse when i succeed, i get much fun out of it,

    Looping is so integral to this game that it amazes me that there's still not a practice mode. The "tutorial" is such a joke that it doesn't even bother explaining survival tactics like escaping chases, or stunning Killers, etc. I love this game, but it is absolutely ridiculous that you have to turn to streamers in order to learn how to play DBD.

    A single player practice mode has been requested for years, and the fact that the mobile game received one within a few months after being released, and DBD proper hasn't been given one four years after release, is so damn depressing.😔
