    "What's your first dbd memory?"

    The winter lobby theme sending shivers down my spine. I will never forget it.

    The earliest I can remember is me being confused and annoyed that Trapper only had a single Bear Trap to work with the whole game. I did not realize that there were more scattered around the map. :P

    Exactly, I haven't heard it in years. I really want BHVR to let us listen to that again, it gave me some sort of nice nostalgic feeling that I associate with my first 500 hours of playing this game.

    being a baby dweet and hiding in a locker right in front of the killer cause I didnt know who the killer was. They werent even a stealth killer. It was just a billy. No tinkerer. Just a billy sitting there watching me go into a locker.

    Same, my friend. I actually thought it was the main theme of the game back when I started, and I miss it so much.

    To be honest, they should just let us choose our lobby. I would do anything to hear that music in-game again.

    Also, if you are up for some nostalgia:

    I decided to go killer and play Wraith for the first time. I had absolutely no idea how his power worked (because I didn't read his power description) my game started and so I saw a survivor and I tried to hit her, I was unable hit, I had no braincells that time so I thought the game was bugged but all I had to do was just uncloak.

    Hearing Huntress hum, and going into a locker because I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't leave that locker until the hum was gone. (I didn't realize there was a difference between the heartbeat and the hum).

    Started around a month ago, and the first game I played, I played with some friends got facecamped at basement hook by a bubba, defiantly an interesting introduction to the game.

    When I watched my partner playing. He told me he found a game for us to play for Halloween and he shown it to me, to be sure I wanted to play.

    I was so excited. I never played a horror-themed PVP game before. I bought the game right after and we played like 50 hours together before he dropped the game—as it was only for Halloween.

    First memory is me being excited because I was like, "there is a big guy following you! Oh my, that's terrifying!".

    I joined when Ranking was broken and I didn't know the game at all, so I picked a killer not knowing what any of them do. I picked doctor and got gen rushed by a Red rank SWF in silent hill and I didn't know the game at all, so I picked a killer not knowing what any of them do. I picked doctor and got gen rushed by a Red rank SWF on Dead Dawg.

    Yeah sadly that's the recent experience for new players, often the killers dont know how to play etc. Or feel unable due to lack of perks/knowledge but hopefully the new tutorials fix that for newer players

    This is my first screenshot:

    Was helping someone out on the steam forums with questions regarding Adrenaline!

    To be honest though, I don't remember my actual first DBD memory. But I do remember maining Jake when I first started playing and was a shameless Sabouteur Jake.

    My first survivor game as Claudette I loaded into the lower level of The Game, and I kept going, "Oh no, I can't see anything, this is confusing, I need to get outside." It took me a while to understand that there was such a thing as "indoor maps" since i had only seen people play outdoor maps on stream.

    My first or second game ever on PC, I was still trying to get the correct settings for it to run as smooth as possible. I had someone calling me out in chat for, to put it politely, playing badly... it was much worse than that though lol. They then went to my Steam profile and said I was the worst team mate ever. As I said it was only my first or second game ever, did they expect me to be godlike lol.

    Disclaimer - three years later, I still don't deserve to get to red ranks and definitely far from godlike :p

    My first game as survivor on Haddonfield against a Myers back in November of 2016.

    Couldn't even hit 1 single skill check because I thought I had to press M2 instead of space bar for some misterious reason.

    My earliest memory is my first survivor game. I was a Feng on Pale Rose against a Trapper and... yeah, we were slaughtered. However, I (somehow) managed to wiggle free and locate hatch just in time before he could down me again. It is still one of the best games I've had, although that might be nostalgia talking.

    The earliest memory I have was one of my first survivor matches. I was playing as Dwight on pre-rework Coal Tower against Nurse. I kept fast vaulting (Not knowing that loud noises notified the killer) and at one point quickly entering a locker right in front of the Nurse, thinking she didn't see me. Needless to say, I died that match.

    First memory? Being looped around the groaning storehouse and cow tree in 2016, thinking "this is kinda bullshit."

    Then remembering the developers response to infinites: "It takes SOO much skill to do anything even RESEMBLING an infinite."

    Those were some dark days.

    That said, here's some of the first screenshots I've ever taken:

    Brownie points if you can remember any of these bugs (yes, these and more all happened in one game).

    Edit:

    Holy crap, I just realized I've been a Small Game + Bond gamer since 2016.

    Some things never change.

    Played on Badham I as Wraith.

    Got absolutely meme'd on by a 4 man SWF Ochido-wannabe Claudette squad. 3 Rank 1's and 1 Rank 20, which is how they matched with me by abusing the old matchmaking system.

    Killed the Rank 20 and got hate mail for 2+ hours afterwards.

    My friend was practically begging me to get the game because the Stranger Things DLC came out, and he was really into that show. First match was on Hawkins against a trapper and I had no idea what I was doing. Told him I didn't like the game and well, that love-hate relationship with DBD is still going strong lmao.

    My earliest memory for many probably feels still fairly new, but I still remember my first killer match and survivor match.

    For killer I chose to play Huntress and didn't understand how to put my hatchets down so I never did and missed every shot and was reloading 90% of the time. I also remember it was on Pale Rose.

    For survivor I was playing against a Spirit and had no idea how to run or the concept of the 4% so I accidentally killed myself in like 2 seconds.

    It was pretty rough, but I also didn't know tutorials were a thing until I was like Rank 14 a month-ish later.

    My earliest dbd memory was getting a 3k with hag(who was the newest killer at the time) after playing the tutorial

    We played Kill-Your-Friends (former name of Custom Game) with 5 ppl, all new to the game. I was first to play killer, and selected Wraith, bc I found it cool to become invisible. We were send to Thomson House (before the last two reworks, when Light Offerings still existed, so the map was pretty dark). I somehow managed to kill 3 of the others, but the last one repeatedly managed to blind me with his flashlight and ultimately got out through the hatch. That one also told me you had to look for the "footprints" (meant scratch marks), I just had no clue what he meant. It took me quite some time (multiple hours playing killer) to recognize the scratches as what they were. Not very proud of that ^^''.

    I tried the blinding the killer in the next games, but failed miserably, not knowing what I did wrong what my pal did right xD. Also we did fail each and every skill check at the start. We did not know that we had to wait for the skill check to appear after the auditory warning. We always pressed as soon as the sound cue came. We played like two games each as killer.

    After that, four of us queued for our first online matches. Of course we would be slaughtered, but we did not mind, it was still fun. Good ol' times :D
