What's the one thing...

That you can't hide nearby while making a ton of noise. The killer will "find" you.

I wish I knew, since January 2017, how incredibly unbalanced dbd is for all killers except Nurse and Spirit( and maybe others like Deathslinger, Oni when lucky, Hag) and that you just have to accept that you're not gonna win against really really good players, it's just not gonna happen

When I first started to play, I didn't know that there was a tutorial. I just read the killer section of the how to. So I didn't know about the killer's terror radius or red stain until I tried to play survivor like a month later

Dash jumping through windows gives the killer your location.

That killers can see you even though your a P3 Claudette and are not moving.

Wish I knew how big the scratch marks are when you run. I started out as a survivor main and couldn't figure out how the killer kept finding me.

I wish people would stop saying Self-Care is a bad perk when it's not. It's simply niche. There are moments you should use it, and moments you shouldn't that can make it detrimental. The same should be said for Spine Chill, Urban Evasion and Sprint Burst. They all (if used improperly) can waste a lot of time and make you a detriment for your team. But when used properly, they create a very strong build.

To not read on websites which perks are the best and which are useless.

Use the ones you enjoy playing with ;)

As Survivor, I wished I'd realized how easy and quickly you can do gens instead of hiding, running, looking for items etc. . As Killer, I would of liked to understand how important it is to apply constant pressure on gens.

I really wish I had known/understood how exhaustion perks worked. I initially equipped multiple exhaustion perks, only to be confused by why only one would work, and why sometimes even the first one I tried didn’t work.

Turns out it was because I was exhausted, either from the use of the first exhaustion perk, or from the killer’s attack, (that was quite difficult to figure out). I eventually understood of course, but for a long time I had trouble with lithe not working because of an attack that left me exhausted.

I used sprint burst and lithe together lmao

i have a tiny list:

i had know the killer/survivor can see the scratchmarks/redstain/soundbubbles.

i had know every aurareading/exposed/healing perk/power/item/addon.

A few things I would like survivor side would be these two new updates to the tutorial. One would be about the terror radius, and the other about safe unhooks. I understand that early on in the game's life it's meant to be played as hide and seek. With pallets being the LoS breaker to allow survivors to disappear and hide. However this evolved into looping which is a totally different mechanic. I would say early on people play too immersed and this in turn ends up hurting the team as the time spent hiding could be spent working on generators. People stay stuck in low ranks because they are too afraid and play too passively. Thus this hurts everyone because people aren't either willing to learn. Or don't learn because they don't know there are alternatives.

The first tutorial update would be braving the terror radius. You would play as an injured Dwight and David will say "I'll distract the killer. Go finish the last generator so we can escape" before heading off.

The David will then go away behind a wall so that there is no line of sight of the killer. Next to the generator is a locker, meaning they need to know what those are first, the idea is that just because you are in the TR doesn't mean you should always hide. Especially if you know if a survivor is being chased.

The generator would have about 30 charges left. As soon as the player touches the generator the killer will spawn 24 meters away. So just barely inside of the TR. When the generator has 70 charges left. The killer gets close to around 10 meters. Now the bait is that you only have 50 seconds to complete the generator. If the player doesn't complete the generator within those 50 seconds then the killer would come and of course sacrifice them. This way it helps reinforce that playing immersed is not always the right call. You can keep your life by escaping, and the only way to escape is doing generators.

The second biggest issue is selfcare and running into the corner of the map that is a dead zone. It's called a safe unhook for a reason. This would be apart of the unhooking tutorial. The exit gate is across the map and you are hooked. Claudette will rescue you and try to heal you. If you try to run away. After 5 seconds or traveling 10 meters or so the killer will appear and will sacrifice you. So letting the Claudette heal you is to help reinforce the idea that it's safe. Thus, safe unhook. While also teaching that the time spent running away to the corner of the map would take the same amount of time to heal, 16 seconds, that would now be doubled, and even quadrupled if they self care. After being healed you now can brave the killer and take a hit allowing you to escape the trail alive.

Edit: I don't recall there being a tutorial on looping a killer. Though I don't know if that's something you want to reinforce, but I think the devs have acknowledge this playstyle and adapted the game to fit this new mechanic. A short minigame would be interesting for both killer and survivor. Where in the tutorial Ace bets how long you'll live with two connecting TL walls with one pallet each. (I don't know how serious you'd take this. I would see this more as a joke. Otherwise just have it as a portion to test your mettle) The longer you live you get a certain amount of BP and shards for the surviving 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 40 seconds. (AI killer gets no bloodlust and can only M1) As for the killer you get a reward based on how fast you can down the survivor. You get no bloodlust, but you can use your power. You get a reward for downing survivors in 40 seconds, 25 seconds, 15 seconds, and 10 seconds. Afterwards you can post how long you live/quick you down on the leaderboards and judge your time with the community which would be cool to see.

I wish i would've known that This-is-not-happening was a waste of a perk slot...

Yea...

I wish I knew not to attempt to unhook myself, since the chance is so low lol

i dont know how to use keys, im still dont know

You don't always need to hide from the killer.

Killer's gonna chase someone eventually and you'll only get better at running the killer for long periods of time if you try to run them instead of escape or hide.

That you have to actually equip the perks your character comes with. I played Dwight as my main for a long time and never checked the load out section.

I wish somebody told me that perks were permanent. Yes, i was that stupid. I thought that the perks i found in the bloodweb would get lost if I used them, so for about a week or so, I didnt use any perks.
