Why is dbd so toxic?

I CAN TASTE THE SURVI SALT

Every game has toxic players this might be the least toxic game i play.

Idk if he thought i was bein sarcastic, but i did message back to say i was bein genuine.. even givin people empathy u still get sh** on, one survivor plays toxic and apparently deems the rest of us in the team the same way, oh well

Its a multiplayer Horror game. What sets it apart from most is you can dedicate yourself to play as the monster. You can be the movie horror, get that groovy movie ending with the Lone Survivor. Naturally when you first pick up the game to play as survivor you want those spooks, the adrenaline, the fear, the chase, the better you get, the easier it is to run literal circles around the monster, the monster isn't some static bot that can be predictable, its a player. Eventually you can just dick with the monster without batting an eye, you will be having a laugh, but the guy on the other end trying to kill you is having the most frustrating time of his day because once a killer reaches greens, survivors become an ungodly painis in the anus to kill, and while not all are loop gods, those that are, and that are toxic, make you want to chase and kill them.

I typically play survivor to take a break from killer, have a laugh, and get murdered. Getting doc/spirit with a ebony, or noed, is fun for me, going against prenerf prayer beads was some damn exciting shiet. I also enjoy running baby killers around, show em the loops, then snackrifice myself because the gens typically get done and they only walk out with like 2 hooks, killers gotta eat too namsaiyan. I just don't mind getting murdered, I find it hilarious. Getting choked by Nurse is also damn kinky. More nurses need to bring Moris. I can't really relate to frustrated surv mains because what they find frustrating I find funny.

As a killer you want to feel powerful, deadly, threatening, but you only get that feeling below rank 13 when its the ez life. As a survivor you only feel scared when you first start out, then it just becomes either a cake walk or a shonky mess if you don't have the time or money invested into some perks. And since ranking up as surv only takes getting the gens done and getting the heck out, more baby survs are getting pulled in with frustrated high ranking murderous killers that will gladly roflstomp their heads in. With gens and getting the heck out being enough to rank up, the speeds it can get done by, they don't actually have to care anymore about altruism unless they are in it for points. With the plethora of information both sides get from each other, terror radius, heartbeat, red stain, extra loud chase music both sides feel, OoO, BBQ, whispers, spinechill, darksense, nurses calling, ect. it takes away much from the horror feel, the environment, the entity funk. The lack of a second obj, the repetitive and boring nature of holding m1 for 80 damn seconds with the current obj, and the complicated over saturated mess that is the rank and perk system, shiet just won't be a proper jump scaring, whats that dang hag planning horror game until both sides get stripped of their aura reading and sound notifications and a second obj gets put in.

A simple ez fix could be 2 perks, 1 for killer, and 1 for survivor. The killers perk will grant 50% bonus bloodpoints at the cost of recieving no noise or aura reading/notifications, so bbq can stack but won't grant the aura reading, such as gens exploding and unhooks and that good stuff. The survivors will grant 100% bloodpoints at the expense of all killers you face basically having undetectable, so OoO won't work, and spinechill will either become crucial, or you can wing it for more unpredictability. Think of it like putting on nightmare mode but with groovy bp that the survivor side desperately needs to make it more lax.

I have been seeing this same post or similar for three years. And I really got to thinking about it. If you playing a shooter and someone kills and teabags you its like whatever. But in dbd on both sides if you are having a bad match you basically have to sit there and take it until they are done with you, killer or survivor unless you want to take a dc penalty.

I know there are things in place to prevent this like egc, bleedout timer and such but it still takes time. Had a Deathslinger stand over shooting at my slugged body the whole bleedout timer. All others were dead and etc was not triggered yet.

When I first started playing killer I can remember matches before egc where the survivors would not leave and I could not find them. But more than t bagging or pointing or nodding head I think It is just the feeling of helplessness that gets people.

This thread is such a great picture of the exact people that make this game so miserable to play. Happy to see the toxic survivors mains getting banned, though. So I guess there is some justice.

People running away because they are bullied are victims just as the ones who cannot run away. Those people being excluded, because they are "too sensitive" or "not though enough" are the ones who deserve our sympathy, not the ones who dish out the punishment.

You are essentially saying, that it is okay to be mean in a video game, as you can just close it. Sure.. you cannot play it when it is closed, you are getting excluded, which in part is the intent of the one bullying you, but it somehow is the solution?

I am not sure where some people in this community (even some prominent ones) get their ideas about how cyber bullying works and its extents in general, but multiplayer games are just another interface where you are in touch with people. They can harm you just as much as they can do through other virtual channels and the pain they inflict can be just as real.

Saying: "its just a game" is only true as long as it is being played for fun and not used to harass or humiliate the other party. Then it starts to become more than a game. Yes, sure .. you can flee any channel through which you can be hurt. That does not make it right and any sensible person should be fighting tooth and nail against anything to which the answer is: maybe it is best you do not play this GAME.

lol, didn't check the post date, my bad :) I saw the thread on top, started reading through it and reacted :) still stand by what I said, but didn't intend to resurrect an old discussion.
