    old vigil

    openings at the bottom of the double wood forts on swamp(now I’m trapped down there with the only option of running up to get out.

    openings at the back of the store on autohaven(which sometimes spawn but sometimes don’t now)

    poor trapper before the buff

     being able to recover from exhaustion while running

    mori used to not require a hook

    Everyone got the instant option to ds without having to wiggle if you weren’t the obsession

    i don’t even remember what the old Deja vu and dark sense did lulz never used them and still don’t really.

    People seem to forget that exhaustion wasn't even always a thing and the recovery for those perks was like 30s.

    On his release, Leatherface was considered to be a mid tier killer I think. And Freddy was decent on release. Like pretty solid.

    When all of the Killers' animations were hideously long (though we have been spoiled by having them shortened). Breaking pallets, regressing generators, picking up, hooking.

    Whenever I watch old videos I always say to myself "Jeez, do it FASTER". Its probably a time I will never want to have back.

    No, I don't think any killers have that. That was just something that old Shadowborn would do, I think.

    I was around when the breaking animations took forever. I recall the infinites as well. I wanna cry now.

    Hey, remember to earn pips before you had to kill at least two survivors? There was no such thing as a 'Emblem System' that these fancy kids have nowadays.

    If you had multiple survivors in your view when stalking your stalk would drain both at a certain rate, making it alot faster. Around the time the Clown came out (I think) turns out it was a bug and they patched t

    oh myyy god the killer pip system SUCKED so much. I think that's what made things so toxic as dbd developed.

    Bloodpoint based ranking and then Victory Cube.

    Sabotage vacuum.

    lumpy ground and grass that actually benefited stealth.

    Better lunge animations.
