You know what's stupid? Tome 1 Challenges

ChurchofPig

So last December for Christmas I had gotten a Playstation 5 and got dbd on it as a massive upgrade from the Switch. Although at the time I thought for sure that I was going to end up playing both versions at the same time, HA! That last thing is besides the point. So when there isn't a current tome to work on, I focus on old tomes and the challenges I haven't completed yet. I can now sit here and say I have completed 4 of the tomes on my playstation, including Tome 13. However, one tome in particular is EXTREMELY annoying to complete. That being Tome 1. I know it was the first therefor there was a lot of "testing out" of challenges. However that tome gives new meaning to the idea of challenges being less challenging and more luck based. Take 2 of the survivor challenges I have left to do.

The first is "Dark Senses." Finish repairing 4 generators while using the perk Dark Senses. OH BOY. As the resident gets found first and is almost always tunneled and camped survivor, this challenge is a TREAT. I remember doing this challenge on switch. I think about it every single freaking day when playing dbd. The only reason I got that challenge on switch is because I just happened to know the other 3 survivors and they distracted the killer so I could get it, but in the end they weren't able to help me when NOED appeared and I got left to die on hook. HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO THIS CHALLENGE WITHOUT LUCK IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FULL SWF BACKING YOU UP???? The closest I got to this challenge being completed was today, I was on that fourth gen for the challenge, it was also the last gen, boom Plague appears and downs me, at a hair away from being completed. And she had Jolt. That moment hurt my soul.

The second I want to talk about is "Chilling Escape." Escape a trial without being hooked by the killer while using the perk Spine Chill. It's less luck based then the last because you theoretically can just Urban Evade around the outside of the map and escape through the hatch or gate. Just be that survivor for a match. However it's still luck based because you can accidentally be caught or the killer can decide they don't want to kill the second to last survivor other than yourself and just decide to spend the rest of the game looking through every nook and cranny for you. If you decide to play the game normally, it's luck based for obvious reasons unless you're an amazing looper against a sucky killer, which can happen.

Anyways thank you for listening to my rant about Tome 1 and some of the challenges in it. I know they won't, but I wish the devs would go back and change AT LEAST these 2 challenges. They feel like they just got 10 times harder with the introduction of mmr in September 2021.

TLDR: I hate Tome 1 Challenges
