If playing killer is stressful for you then why do you keep playing?

I used to get stressed playing killer until I just got over it and realized that you can have fun whether you win or lose! I always have fun playing killer simply because I don't make the Big 4k my focus, I focus on providing a fun and enjoyable, but challenging game for everyone. I enjoy playing survivor even when I get killed if the killer is fair and non-toxic, so I try and provide that experience for other people. And giving the last person the exit/hatch is always nice as well (although I don't expect that from killers when I play survivor, that's just what I like to do), although I'm careful to not seem like I'm favoring anyone over another.

I would actually apply this question for me to survivor, and I guess it's because I'm always hopeful that I'll get good teammates and a fair killer. Sometimes I do, most times I don't, but the games that it does happen are quite enjoyable, and I enjoy playing survivor in general, so I just keep on playing!

The only things that stress me out are bugs. The roles themselves, killer/survivor, are stressful only if you can't accept that you will win some, lose some.

Depends on how sweaty the survivors are. Playing against potatoes isn't particularly stressful.

Not to mention, when you play killer in red ranks there's an expectation that you should play well. Makes it very stressful when you just want to grind some blood points.

I don't think it's all that stressful anymore tbh

Pretty good question. I also have stated that I can't play killer anymore because it's stressful. So I don't. Unfortunately my dailies and the tome have a lot of killer missions. So I end up having to play a few games of killer every few days. But it's not bad. As soon as my missions are done I jump right back to survivor. And I don't hate it at all. I think that maybe I used to prefer killer more because of the amount of blood points. But now that I've improved on survivor I still make really good BP's every game.

I just wish I knew why... I was a killer main when DBD first came out. I didn't find killer as bad when the maps were filled with infinite's... But now I can't stomach playing it. My guess is the killer winning system now. I much preferred the old scoring system. Even if you only got 1 kill you could score a ton of points and pip easily. Forcing kills feels really bad. Feel like the way to win now is to be campy or tunnel a bit. And I don't want to add that into my gameplay. So I'm not touching it.

First off, there are good and bad kinds of stress. Playing a killer can be stressful, but in a way that's a result of the challenge and rush of it.

That said, it's not often the gameplay that I find stressful (well, sometimes, like particularly egregious loops or pallets that are 4 feet apart) but the apparent expectations that everyone has of killers. Like you're an NPC that should abide by the rules they've made up. I know I can just turn off chat and ignore people, but it still nags at me thinking that everyone and their dog is watching my every move with a disapproving frown. 😂

Because I want to do yes-yes with the proboscis.

1: Slasher movie fan and slashers are the stars of slasher movies. I just like being them.

2: While bieng survivor can be fun the lack of obstacles on the map makes looping the optimal meta tactic and I hate looping. It's dumb survivors have got to do it. Looping needs to go entirely-with a max of one loop- but survivors in turn should get WAY more items, interactables, hiding spots and arguably some base kit buffs in my opinion.

3: M1ing gens is boring.

4: I believe in my heart BHVR are trying their best. I don't know why they take so long or make odd choices at times but I don't think a company or dev team that dosen't care wouldn't commit to a game like this. Especially with...lets be real...how toxic and arguamentative we are all are. me included. If they didn't truly want to try and improve the game. So, I won't give up on them. Yet.

5: The idea of a killer/slasher asyemmtrical game is awesome and while there are other games with more in them. I feel that at it's base in founding mechanics DBD gets it right. I hope that my continue patronage and support of the game and the devs will give them the feedback to not make the same mistakes to get another dud release for such a niche gaming genre like they did with Death Garden.

6: DBDi s actually really good. It just needs more stuff in it, and on its maps and survivors need more versatility. The killers are in a solid place after many needed buffs and change. I'm glad to see survivor getting slight changes that promote more tactical play. But they still need a lot more work and lot more work means actual hard content-that's not perks-

7: DBD has the best fundamentals for hide and seek and the chase. When both of these are in full effect. The game shines. The diamond in the clogged up sewage sparkles. It's geniunely fun, amazing,terrorfying and adranline inducing for both sides in their own ways. When a survivor has japes and good map with a plasuable escape and thek iller is not looking boringly at loops and full stop in a chase-pallets- it's great. I like to chase when it shines. I like the chase. I like the thrill of the chase and the tension of hide and seek.

8: Killers are more unique with their own power and that just a bit of flavor to an empty game.

9 It's rare but when you are actually spooky to survivors. Even if you lose. It's really is fun.
