a little message to those survivors who are only on the PTB to bully killers who want to try out PH

Stop, how sad do you have to be to try and ruin something this cool for people, running keys, full meta loadouts, BNPs and generally BMing people doesn't make you cool, it makes you look incredibly dense and incredibly pathetic


edit: so apparently wanting people to not play like total scum on the PTB makes me delusional and riles up a lot of the people who defend this kind of behaviour, well excuse me for trying, yes I understand that killers act like this too and the original point goes for them too but can some of you at the very least observe what someone is doing before you start being a jackass?

    I'm glad they do it

    Shows the devs how weak the killer is in real time

    If his PTB kill ratio is under 2 they will prolly buff him or his perks

    Hopefully they buff those perks because rn my experience is they are worthless

    This game attracts extremely toxic people, and the PTB is just their chance to have a no-regrets try everything bully session. Extra toxic for the toxic toxiciness.

    I’m going to have to agree with this👍. The op is just delusional and should play on both sides.

    So BM'ing is playing the game and not just being a jackass for the sake of being a jackass?

    Maybe after you've had some practice. PH is an extremely hard killer to master with his range attack, it's not something you want 4 ######### t-bagging after every miss while learning.

    If you're learning a brand new killer for the first time, how can you possibly get upset that you're not getting 4ks? I'm a survivor main and when I play killer, I expect to get my butt kicked every time. Mostly because matchmaking is completely broken, but also because I don't play killer and I don't have the experience, skills, perks, or add ons, to have much of a chance. I don't act like I'm personally attacked and that people are "bullying" me. If you aren't having fun playing a game, stop playing. People also might be playing in a way that you see as "toxic" because they want to get chased by the new killer. They want to learn how to counter him. Note everyone is sitting around thinking, "Hmm I want to bully killer mains in the PTB." Stop acting like a victim.

    I stepped away from this game for months because I think the tome destroyed the survivor side. No one is playing normally anymore, it's all about getting challenges done above all else. I came back to see if anything had changed, and sadly, it hasn't. I didn't get tired of DBD, but the tome and challenges have changed it in a way that's completely ruined the game for me. It sucks, but I'm not going to keep making myself miserable in a game that's not fun for me anymore. If the PTB sucks, don't play it. Seems simple enough.

    it's not that i'm upset and not getting 4ks, i'm upset that the PTB is a prime breeding grounds for jackasses to bully and humiliate people who want to learn the new killer, 3 games and without fail at least 2 people ran the full second chyan

    You seem keen on just insulting people. "How sad do you have to be," "incredibly dense, and incredibly pathetic," "before you start acting like a jackass," etc.

    IDK what you're complaining about specifically, but I'm guessing it's the fact that you're losing or the fact that people are acting stupid. Maybe the problem is just kinda on your side, getting offended? I mean, that sounds like the whole point of the post: you're offended that people play that way on the PTB. All I can really say to that is just roll with it, and accept it for what it is. You'll run into people like that in the live servers, so it's not different on the PTB. There's no use dwelling on it when it's something you can't change, and it's just something that people like to do in games: be annoying.

    It's just frustrating that this game attracts all the toxic people in the world. I'd actually like to try and enjoy a game without at least 1 survivor feeling the need to be toxic and rude.

    My first few games on the ptb I didn't try and actually win, just getting the hang of his mechanics and how he plays, and spamming Rites to get better at aiming, seeing how easy it is to dodge etc. Only takes a couple games to get the hang of hitting rites at loops.

    I know, I completely understand. Usually when I say stuff like what I said above it's not to dismiss peoples' frustrations, but from my experiences people will just do completely screwed up things (both in games and IRL) and often times there's really just not a lot you can do about it. The best thing to do for your emotions in those situations (in my opinion) is to just try to keep in mind that it's not the end of the world and that some people are just kinda not worth your time. It's a sad truth but I don't say it to be hurtful.

    It's still hard even after practice because of the sensitivity jump it does.

    @Huff I agree. It's a much harder skillset to learn how to ignore them than say it was to learn Nurse lol.

    Bullying people who want to learn the new killer? Huh?

    I mean I guess If you're really bad at survivor your only saving grace is to go tbag new killers in ptb.

    As for the full meta loadouts, well the amount of Ebony Moris on Pyramid Head players that want to see the mori pretty much causes survivors to try and leave as soon as possible to match the speed of the killer taking players out of the game so quickly already.


    Not defending toxic survivor behavior in the ptb, but there is plenty of killer toxicity as well.

    This is a direct result of the PTB not exactly having a ranking system. You will get killer players who are so bad they rely on face camping, and you get survivors who are toxic but ######### at loops

    While this can also be said about killers, I can fully agree to this. Played a game as pyramid head against a neon nea, she flashlight clicked and made noises to get me to chase her, I hit her in 10s since I faked the ranged PH attack trough a pallet and then she instantly used the secret technique called DC. Probably expected someone who blindly spams his power for ez bullying, instead of someone who uses it to mindgame and didnt want to deal with trying. Had a SWF buddy (or someone who didnt want a 3v1) who DC'd shortly after and then I just killed the last 2 just to end it and we all complained about the nea, ruining a match. Fun times.

    If I see a baby facecamping PH, I'm rushhing gens, teabagging, and getting out. New killers don't deserve mercy if they don't show it to the survivors. Facecamping is not "learning the killer".

    My first match yesterday as ph was 2 rank 1s a rank 3 and a rank 4 so... after getting my ass blasted i had to guarantee A Kill.

    Technically you didn't have to, but I see what you mean. Killers are entitled to kill, and that's fine by me.

    I’m taking the ptb serious to get an idea on how to play against pyramid head,


    asides from running a full loudout on Cheryl as I had a lot of bloodpoints saved I’m not going to go easy but I also never bm

    Yes. I tried to test him on public. My bad. Had to face Meg's and Bunny Fengs. New map. No clue what I'm doing, they pop all gens and butt dance out. What was the point?

    This is why the PTB does not work in its current state. Hardcore camping/tunneling killers or 4-man SWF hit squads and of course the DC/suicide on first hook completely destroys the purpose of PTB. We are supposed to be testing the game capabilities. How is the killer in loops, how are they in map pressure, etc. Any killer can camp (granted, this current one is really good at it), and any group of survivors can dominate if you get 4 good ones together. That does not help test the new killer. I'd argue that the 4-man group might actually be helpful in seeing how well he killer holds up, but the DC/suicide on first hook does not.

    PTB should remove access to anyone who leaves match early. They lose PTB access for the current chapter. Hardcore camping/tunneling should be punished by lower priority match making. If the killer repeatedly downs the same survivor within 30 seconds after unhook (hardcore tunnel) or does not leave x range of the hook at all during matches (not once or twice, but every time) then they get significantly less matches.

    We want to test these abilities and identify glitches, exploits, concerns and balance issues. We are not there to dominate, increase rank, or play toxicity. But, that is why this PTB is pure crap and does nothing to help the game.

    If anything, they'll just ######### the data to where PH looks weak, hell get buffed, and those same people will ######### nonstop about him.

  • Carpemortum
    Carpemortum Member Posts: 4,506

    So you just KNOW that he tunneled you bc of DS, and not for any other POSSIBLE reason.

    Are you psychic now? Or just trying to paint the side vs side picture like everyone else.

    I mean, if the killers dont try for a kill at all why play killer? If EGC is on, and 3 are almost out and you have one you can camp/tunnel and end, why the ######### would you say, "eh, I dont HAVE to kill anybody, I'm just gonna sit and let them all leave. Ya know, how us killers are supposed to."

    At the very least doing so can show you how effective the new killer is at defending a dead hook or chasing people off.

  • LordGlint
    LordGlint Member Posts: 8,365

    Its not really showing anything since the person using the killer probably doesnt have many perks unlocked on them yet and is still working out how to play him. This is why alot of ppl who actually wanna test on the PTB do so in custom matches so they can throw on any perk/addon and not have to wait for a random lobby to form.

  • Waffleyumboy
    Waffleyumboy Member Posts: 7,318

    Why would the devs use early PTB sttat to make big changes. Your sttatement is more a joke than a scenario.

  • arslaN

    Could say the same about killers. I get tunneled with an ebony mori quite often on the ptb.

    Players have been doing this since the first PTB. It's sad that they have nothing better going on, but not unexpected.
