Honest Players Get Zero Respect

Yes winning, getting kill streaks, and making flashy plays isn’t the reason I buy CoD.

It’s to “ruin someone’s day” and be an “online bully” when the other player is literally buying it for the exact same reason I do and goes into each game knowing they can either win or lose.

You act like people are being forced into playing video games or something.

You need some time off DBD in general if you started to think people buy a casual fps game to bully people.

I disagree. As a killer you have that choice to not slug all players at once. Slogging ALL players at once or not moving away to give choice to pick people is Indeed Toxic. As a survivor there are TWO perks that are available to be able to pick yourself up both of which are often not teachable. Or are not able to be equipped.

Slugging is not a necessity. It's just sloppy.

If the game is affecting your ability to have fun, either take a break or play a different game.

Is part of the community toxic? Yes. Should it affect you so much on a personal level? No. If it does, as mentioned, either take a break or play a different game. Maybe stick to single player games where no one can be "toxic".

I digress. I don't think slugging in and of itself is toxic, I think the ability to slug all four survivors at once with no way for them to be able to pick themselves up is sometimes (stress the sometimes. Because sometimes its unavoidable) garbage. Especially if you're a newer player going against rank red. That being said, you're right slugging doesn't make the game toxic. It sucks, but it's not toxic.

But I have found (and don't take it the wrong way. By all means I don't mean you) that players themselves can be extremely toxic.

It is suggested by the same skill group that asks for noed nerf, take it with a grain of salt.

The devs nerfed moris because they were objectively too strong. You can’t say the same about certain styles of play, because it’s completely dependent on context.

If a survivor goes down and gets hooked smack dab in the middle of the last 3 gens, and the killer patrols those gens, they’re essentially “camping” but actually they’re playing exactly the way they should. Forcing “camping” to be bannable or punished by in-game mechanics would end up penalising the killer player for playing the smart way in this scenario. Could they leave the 3 gen and the hook and go wander the edges of the map? Sure. And if you want to play with “honour” and do that then feel free. But expecting people to make an objectively bad decision for the sake of fairness is totally unreasonable, and forcing them to play badly on purpose because you don’t like campers would not be good game design.

This is just one example. Camping, tunnelling, and so on are already risky because they can easily lose you the game. It’s not on the devs to force people to play in certain ways, because players already have tools within the game to make camping/tunnelling/etc. unviable.

Made me think...Can we block players from future matching? I know you can block survivors in the campfire, but does that block from matching with them again, or just friend requests? Is there a way to block killers in the end game scoreboard? If not, then I think that would solve matching up with "toxic" players repeatedly. Not necessarily a permanent ban... Have it adjustable to give the selected players a chance to mature, then have them flagged (visible to the folk that ban that player) as probationary post-ban; if they aren't "toxic" anymore, then play on.

It’s because the devs prefer to be hands off and had an idea for how the game would work, trusting that players would take it upon themselves to create a fun experience. Keep in mind a large majority of players are youths, when was the last time you found maturity in them. Case in point, the following comments from everyone I just “offended”.

I think you are putting too much faith in game developers, as well as people in general. They themselves are of a generation plagued by a degrading work ethic and pride in accomplishment. It’s a phenomenon prevalent in more than the game industry and growing rapidly, each new generation is becoming lazier and more complacent in their work. People (not all, but many) don’t like to work hard, if they can take the easy route they will and that’s what happens when you lack drive and dedication to your craft. Game developers are not an exception, they’re just normal people trying to get a paycheck and it’s easy to say “good enough”. And I’m not offended, I’m saying this is the reality of things. Sure, I could be wrong, but if you look around, I don’t think I am. Sad, but true.

Sounds like you're exactly the type of person they're talking about. Sportsmanship be damned as long you're entertained by your own nonsense.

I can only laugh at these "nice killers" in the game. The game favor killers so much that they have to pretend to use a "code of conduct" like no tunneling/camping to try and be ethical.

If you play the game seriously it is impossible to survivors get away, and that's apparently an intended mechanic, so every time i play killer i will ######### act like one and be as efficient as possible.

This "contract" ur referring to, is the invisible survivor rulebook made by entitled survivors. This rulebook only applies to killers, by the survivors. Survivors do not have to follow any rules. Doesn't matter what's intended for or not. Killers at least "try" to follow the rulebook. Survivors don't have a rulebook. They are immune to any rules, and have no Honor. Survivors just do what they want. Especially complain.

The point system changed over time to punish camping only cuz entitled survivors complained so much about it. Camping is a viable strategy.

For the 1000th time. Every just needs to play how they want. That is the only rule that everyone should follow. All other rules and contracts are just a person's personal opinion.
