So I started playing this game a month ago and genuinely the toxic players who teabag and send messages saying how bad I am has pretty put me off almost completely like the game is great and all but some in the community just have to ruin for the new players massive shame too seen as though the game is so fun just wish people would stop so damn entitled and pulls Thor heads out their asses.

  • If you don't like people insulting you can actually close the chat by clicking the icon on the right, the game can feel like a bullying simulator sometimes.

    Just ignore the messages, any "competitive" game always attracts a certain type of douchebag.

    Teabagging is annoying, but don't let it get to you during the game. Or play ghostface, teabagging a survivor is so so sweet

    I know it’s not that easy but you need to ignore those comments and behaviors and try to concentrate on the positive ones, and there are many in the community as well!

    just think about how miserable those people have to be to be so toxic towards strangers in a video game, it’s really pathetic at times..

  • That's unfortunately most of the community, yup.

    Mute the chat for one, most killers do, you can't talk with most of these people and all the ones that are not like them are doing the same as you would be- just avoiding the chat.

    Same happened to me when I first started playing, probz how it began for many.

    My first ever match, I was toxicly messaged during the match!

    Try not to let it get under your skin too much, and don’t let yourself become that way to others. Jus stay positive and game on, that’s what I do.

    to be honest I think I’m just having a real bad day I couldn’t even hook a single survivor as Deathslinger it was embarrassing think my best option is to sleep on it a have a break for a day or two and come back to it when I ain’t working I know not all people in the game are like that it just takes a bad day and one trog to push you abit far XD

    Hide the chat, there a little button next to it that will completely hide it from view. I'm not sure if it stays hidden when you switch off the game or not but you can go to the survivor menu and check everytime you load the game to see if it's still hidden. The tbagging is something you're gonna have to learn to not get worked up about. It's an empty threat all they're doing is spamming the ctrl key. It means nothing. It only does something if you let it get to you

    You shouldn't be letting empty words from a stranger get to you and ruin your experience(especially since they'll probably forget about the entire thing 5 minutes later and move onto the next game). Many different ways exist to block communication from people you don't know so use them.

    I still remember my first ‘kill by your own hand’ trophy. The person started msging me immediately after it was done. I play on ps4 so I had a picture of it from the trophy. After the match I replied to heir numerous spamming on insults telling them I will always have the picture of the freshly killed Kate who lost their #########. I still look at it a chuckle sometimes. Ass holes.

    Short Answer: You'll get better the more time you put in to push yourself to learn.

    My Answer: Remember the ones who hurt you; keep a list and an Ebony Mori in your Offering Slot.

    If you're playing on console don't delete the messages, keep them as a reminder for the next time you meet in the fog.
