Congratulations - your toxic player base lost a long-time player

I'm sorry to see that you're experience with the community is bad, but I don't think your gonna find one that's any better. Most online games with an even slightly big playerbase are incredibly toxic.

If the community is toxic, I make my game and close the chat finished or not read it, but would not stop playing just because others do not like to lose and begin to insult you, just do not read it and keep playing 

Y'know, I always find stuff like this funny, because I really don't see a lot of toxicity. Some in-game BM? Oh definitely. Real toxicity? Rare.

That's what comes with an online game + competition. Just ignore the chat or change your console messaging settings. It is not that difficult. Ever since I changed my console messaging settings my gameplay has been far less annoying. It's a shame I have to miss out on meeting the genuinely nice people, but it's worth it.

I do agree with you, but when you decide to post your possibly divisive opinion in an online forum, people are going to say all manner of stuff. Is this surprising?

Do not post stuff online if you cannot handle some people disagreeing with you or saying something you don't like. That is always going to happen.

I mean, are you really letting the toxicity get to you? you can just disable messages or if they're t-bagging and flashlight clicking and all about to escape, that's just a reason to keep playing and improve.

Personally I see toxic messages as super funny, cuz it shows how low of a person they are, going through such lengths to get some attention. When I get t-bagged, I just suck it up and move on. More often then not I get t-bagged when I have been playing poorly, so I don't mind. Alternatively they t-bag when they think they're insane and proceed to go down in 3 seconds and DC, which I think is peak comedy.

So people need to bottle their emotions, because it is perceived as a weakness? You don't know other people's life experiences, so you don't have a right to tell them to toughen up.

If you wouldn't tell your Mom or sister to toughen up in a similar situation, don't say it to a random stranger.

When they’re ready to quit, they’ll jus quit.

These posts seem more like a 2 week notice so we can all say our goodbyes and then convince them to stay and continue on in the DBD community.

I personally believe many want to keep playing, have a series of bad matches within a condensed timeframe, then immediately post here in the forums to vent out the frustration.

I’ve had friends who wanted to end their lives and they opted to “vent it out” in this manner.

I’ve also had friends who didn’t vent, said nothing to anyone, then shocked everyone when they abandoned their life and all of ours, as well.

So, I understand these posts. I feel we all can relate to some extent. If anyone can be helped into a better mental state, then it’s always good to try and do so for them. Even if it’s just a video game, people can have something deeper going on, within, that reflects their outward projection.

I say keep playing.

If you find yourself too worked-up over DBD, then find another game that doesn’t negatively impact your well being... many times that means playing only on a team who will always have your back (ie. not solo/killer) or avoiding multiplayers all together.

Usually they’ll feel better after they get it all out if their system, then refresh, recharge and continue playing in some format.

The handling of stress and anxiety varies from person to person, tho.

Idk man going out of your way to tell them they lost a long time player and telling them they should feel bad about it seems kinda toxic ngl

Don't announce you're leaving, just leave.

He ain't wrong, mean comments ain't #########, but to always have someone afk, ######### on first hook, sand bagging, failing skill checks just to sabtoge the game...its really sad. When you feel so small and pathetic that you want to drag others down to the cesspool you dwell in just so you won't feel so alone. That's signs of some deep seeded depression and self loathing. All the up votes on all these smart ass toxic comments only proves his point...I feel sorry for the real people in your lives that have to put up with your childish toxic bullshit on a daily. To be so utterly atrocious, you people cannot have a single ######### person who loves you in your lives. But I've got good news, if you bathe with a toaster my troglodyte cucklings of the fog, it will surely cure the hole in your heart that makes you persistently want to make others feel as bitter and angry as you do everytime you open your eyes to this mundane repetitive existence. Your just a bunch of little weak Victor's with no Charlotte. GGEZ

I guess try Fallout 76? They have a pretty nice player base.

That’s good... I wasn’t giving you any sympathy.

I do have Empathy for those who feel they want to quit, but never Sympathy for those who do quit.

It seems people on these forums are trying to understand why you and others who have permanently quit DBD are still here on these DBD forums continuing to talk about the game you are forever no longer affiliated with after sending the devs your farewell notice.

It’s like quitting a job and then showing up every day in the break room to share your feelings instead of just moving on to your new career and letting everyone at the job you quit enjoy their lunch in peace every day before going back to work at the job they all are happy with.

I do believe the devs care.

While I would imagine they hope those who come to the forums to post these notices will be persuaded to stay and play, I equally as much feel they would prefer those who are quitting the game forever and potentially leading others to do the same would just move on.

Peace to you too, I hope you find the community that suits you better.

Wherever you go, have GGs ✌🏽
