Share your wholesome DbD moments!

After a morning/afternoon facing toxic SWF groups, OOO/key users, teabaggers, and the like, I was ready to throw in the towel on the day (BP events seem to bring out the worst in players, but maybe that's my own experience -- I'm sure I'll run into it when I switch to survivor later on as well).

Then I ran into this group of survivors -- and my first Slug Race! And Boops. Plenty of Booping. If you were one of the people in this match, you made up for my miserable experience all day. Especially you, Feng, at the end. :)

Last days I played as Myers against two lag switchers, both with flashlights. Everytime I tried to hook them it delayed and his mate had to blind me for like 4 times in a row, so that he can escape. What they didnt know was, I had the Tier 3 forever Addon. I stalked them the ######### out of them. After some "wholeome" teleporting chases I downed the next and pretended to take him up, then his mate came, I poped Tier 3 and chased this mate like 5 mins (cause he can teleport too) , downed them and let them bleed out.

Thanks god they had no unbreakable.

So I've been on the grind since October trying to finish all the Tomes and achievements. I'm done (EXCEPT FOR THE BUGGED TOME 1 ITEMS !!!!!), and the very last one I needed was Left for Dead. So since it was my last one, I committed to a survivor build for it and tried for around 50 or so games to set up the exact right concoction.

My build was Dark Sense, Wake Up! , Iron Will, and Dead Hard. Second two perks get me to endgame, first two perks get me the crucial info since Im all by myself when that last gen dings. We get sent to Pale Rose. Boo. While the game is progressing the Wraith and I get caught on the broken trees with the invisible walls (seriously please fix this map in the next rework, its actually broken). We both play around with them a bit, call it even, and he lets me go for my troubles. The game progresses normally from there, he takes chases and starts killing people off. Last gen, go time. This blessed Wraith immediately finds me, and I ask him politely for the gen. He relents! Happy days! Thats my last achievement! As Im walking out the exit gates, BEFORE I COULD EVEN TYPE IN THE POSTGAME LOBBY TO THANK HIM FOR GIVING ME 100%, my internet dies for like a half hour. X_X

So I'm sitting there aghast that I got that lucky. Not only did I have everything set up right, not only did the killer give crucial mercy, but I got out like 3 seconds before my net died. Razor thin margin for this silly achievement that, truth be told, isn't even that hard. But wait....3 seconds? I was running WAKE UP! That saves you 3 seconds off the exit gate! You tell me that perk isn't S+ tier I will laugh in your face; noone has gotten value from Wake Up! like I've gotten value!

Also Mr. Wraith, if you're out there and you see this...THANK YOU. It was yesterday around the 1PM MST, and you made my whole month.

Last survivor match of the night -- matches had gone pretty good up to that point. We end up on Hawkins, and my friend sees a Jigsaw box, indicating a Piggie (who I play more of than any other killer by far). I'm a little nervous, as both of our Spine Chills are going off, but neither of us see or hear anything.

I'm backing around in the hallway and hear the roar. Uh-oh.

I turn slowly to see the Pig crouched by me. Do I dare attempt the boop? I'm dead to rights anyway, so I crouch and go to boop. The Pig accepts! I lay down my Med-kit and move away.

Later on, they helped me finally get the four stuns in a match challenge done, and we all escaped, giving boops on the way out. I messaged them afterwards to thank them for giving me a great sendoff to the night and showing me that I'm not the only Pig player who respects the boops -- turns out we have things in common, and I have a new gaming friend.

Sometimes -- just when you least expect it -- there's a heartwarming moment in this game filled with so much toxicity. When you find those moments, they remind you all that's fun about playing a video game -- even one that has you running from/hunting down your opponent.

Earlier this week I was in a game up against a Cannibal. The Killer could have won super easily, as we threw hard at the start. One person got hooked early, I tried to get close so I could unhook and not be seen by BBq, but was seen by the Killer and downed, a third person was downed doing more or less the same thing that I was. So guy had 3 people on hook within a couple minutes.

From there, though, the fourth person got us free, and the Leatherface, if not quite farming, then at least let us have the escape and hassled us a little here and there for his own points, which is my own farming strategy so I'm absolutely fine with it.

I made sure to thank the magnanimous Bubba once the game was over.

Yesterday I was playing against a Ghostface, I was repairing a gen and popped it on accident. The person I was repairing it with got pissed and just started tea bagging around me and stuff. I blew it off and went about my match and later I was running from the killer and the same guy jumped in front of me and blocked me from running down a hallway until the killer hit me and downed me. Killer hooked me and this guy instead of unhooked me just tea bagged in fron of me, shook his head and ran away. The killer was by and way it all. The killer let my other teammates get me off hook, he found that guy hooked him and we all watched and tea bagged. Killer then let us all go hahaha it was redemption and glorious.

I had a match last week where we pretty much got slaughtered instantly by a Michael. I ended up being the last person and I got downed and picked up. I was struggling and he slashed and I said "Don't you slash me, Mr. Man--" and he dropped me on the hatch. I was like "Oh....Thank you! -spins in a circle then escapes-" I went to tell them thank you, but they were on console so they didn't see it.

I was playing a match yesterday and didn't see the Killer until there was two gens left. I saw a few teammates get injured, but none of them got hooked. I came across a gen that had been worked on, so I decided to try and finish it. Then a Michael walked up to me and I ran away. He followed me for a couple seconds, but I didn't know where he went. I was like "Is he friendly? I know he stabbed a couple people but..." so I went back to the gen to see if he was still over there and the last gen got done and I was right by the gate, so I decided to open it. Two teammates came over and I said "You didn't bring him (Michael) with you, did you?" and I saw him walking up to us so I ran away again. Then the gate got opened, so I said "Wait...is he friendly!?" so I circled back and walked up behind him and he was just standing there watching my teammates leave. I walked in front of him and said "Michael, do you want to be friends?" He slashed at the exit, telling me to leave. I said "No! I want to be your friend! -points at him-" and he looked behind him, into a corner then walked further into the exit and slashed. I said "Oh...okay..." and left. I was willing to let him kill me, but he didn't want to.

I also had a Legion let me live. I don't think he hooked anyone all match, so I was going to let him kill me for some points. He kept nodding at me to leave, but I walked over to him thinking he'd down me and hook me. He ended up spinning in a circle, so I did it too for a bit then I gave him my toolbox and left.

This is happening more and more frequently to me - Killers not wanting to kill me when they easily could...I'm assuming they're just doing daily rituals. I mean, I do the same thing xD;

Last week, I had a match against a Nurse and I don't think they knew how to play as her. She slashed a couple people and maybe hooked one. The gens got done and I ran to open a gate and the Nurse downed someone right by it. I walked up and tried to see what was happening and I saw someone with a flashlight and the Nurse just....staring into a wall. She just gave up...We healed the downed teammate and all three of us walked over to the Nurse and waved at her to attack us, but she never budged...Everyone left and I stayed by her and died so she'd get a few more points. It was...so sad. I felt so bad for her. I don't like making Killers give up and DC - it makes me feel bad that I ruined their fun, even if it was unintentionally.

I just switch over to Jane from Meg. Damn, Killers like Jane...Meg is lvl 41 and has never been given the hatch or a free escape. Jane is 20 and I've been given hatch twice, walked to the exit door once, and earlier today a friendly Spirit who had slugged me earlier in the match and left me on the ground for a long ...long... time caught me at the door and put me down just as I was about to exit. She picked me up (just to show dominance), walked me to the gate entrance then stood for a moment before dropping me and backing away. Thanks for the offer random console Spirit. It was a nice thought, but I died about 3 seconds after hitting the ground and beginning the crawl to the gates. I had also found an iri key in a chest thanks to Plunderer. Lol, still was refreshing after so much toxicity.

I had a nice Trapper earlier. Not far into the match, someone DC'd and another died on hook so it was only two of us left. I was hooked and contemplating killing myself because I didn't want my teammate to risk the save since it was just him and I left. He came over and the Trapper was there and he let my teammate unhook me. I was like "Awww are you a friendly Trapper?" I followed after him and he let me hit him with a pallet and he took me to some totems and let me destroy them and I stepped in a trap he put down. My teammate ended up opening the gate and leaving which I found kind of rude because the Killer was being nice and I was going to farm some points with them. Since my teammate left, I was like "You know what? Follow me, Trapper!" and I took him to a hook and I twirled around in a circle, saying "Hook me!" He downed me and took me to the hatch. In the chat afterwards, I thanked them and they said they don't like it when people DC and are AFK when they play Survivor and that's why they let us do gens and leave.

I've seen Killers posting lately, saying they get insulted by Survivors when they let them escape and that's just...so stupid. If the Killer is nice and lets you leave, you say thank you. Letting you live is the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do so don't be ungrateful >8u

I've had a few wholesome moments recently.

1. First recent moment was when I was playing Trapper and decided to give the Honing Stone a try, as I had never actually used it before. Unfortunately, the survivors I faced were lower ranks, quite uncoordinated, and didn't seem to have much experiences versus Trapper; they were constantly stepping in traps and being put into the dying state. Despite my best efforts to play fairly and give them extra chances, the game didn't last long. I had just death hooked the third survivor and turned to look at shack (they used an offering to spawn Hatch there) and I see the last survivor, an injured little Bill, crouched in front of the closed hatch. He slowly turns to look at me and we have a little moment together where he points at the hatch, crouches twice, and looks back at me. I keep my distance from him - about ten feet away - and give him some reassuring nods, letting him know he's free to go. He does one last crouch of thanks and disappears through the hatch. Bonus: the end game chat was quite pleasant and Bill said he loved me.
2. Second moment came from a Blight game on Rancid Abattoir. I had been trying half-heartedly for a while to get the Deadly Maiden killer challenge done from Tome III, which is the one where you have to grab a survivor from out of a locker while having Iron Maiden equipped. I had been unlucky in my attempts to convey to survivors that I needed them to hop into a locker for me, but I thought I'd give it another try with the Nancy that I had just downed. I picked her up, start repeatedly M1ing the locker, and let her struggle free. She crouches for a second or two before pointing to the locker, at which point I respond with furious nodding. She hops in and let's me get the grab, and I let her struggle free once more. I spent the rest of the match avoiding her to make sure I could give her hatch. I thanked her in post-game chat for helping me with the challenge, and chatted a little bit with her and her friend in post-game chat. They were very nice and one of them complimented me on my plays, which always feels good.
3. Third moment was from a Nurse game I had on Shelter Woods. I had been trying for about a week to get the Seizing Discord killer challenge done from Tome III without having to specifically farm for it, but I hadn't been having any luck. Figured I would try my luck for the From The Void She Kills achievement at the same time, too. I downed a couple survivors early in the trial but they weren't understanding what I wanted them to do. Thankfully, though, I found a helpful Feng Min. After downing her and M1ing the gen repeatedly, she struggled free and crouched, slowly walking about four feet away before looking at me, then pointing to the gen. I nodded at her, she nodded at me, and she then started repairing. I blinked three times before grabbing her, making sure to get the achievement, before letting her then struggle free and then getting the second grab that I needed on her from off the gen for the challenge. Once I had let her struggle free that final time, I went on my merry way to kill the other survivors, avoiding Feng Min best as I could. Eventually, Feng Min was the last healthy survivor, with the only other remaining survivor, Nea, on struggle hook. I found the Feng Min patiently crouched in between the exit gate and the hook. She and I exchanged nods and gestures for a few moments - me, trying to convey that the Nea would not be spared, and Feng Min, trying to convince me to let the both of them leave together. Lucky for her, her antics were adorable and I couldn't bear to force death hook on her friend. I backed away and nodded, letting her save Nea off the hook. They both immediately crouch walk up to me, nodding up and down, before continuing their adorable two-person crouching conga line to the exit gate. The post-game chat was the most wholesome of them all, they were so pleasant and cute ❤️

One person was playing as The Twins and I was helping someone do a gen and they walked up to us and I ran away. They followed me, but didn't try to hit me. I eventually stopped, turned around and walked up to them and said "Friends???" and they hit a pallet, saying "Throw this pallet down!" so I did. I proceeded to follow them around the map all match, throwing pallets down for them. Eventually the gens got done and people opened the gates. They unleashed Victor and he ran to the exit gate and attacked someone. I stood around and was like "Charlotte? Are you taking a nap? Are you going to come back?" When they switched back to Charlotte I tried to give them my medkit, but they walked off and I said "You get back here and take this medkit - your chest looks like it hurts! -chases-" I was going to stay with them until I died, but they walked to the exit and wanted me to leave. I put my medkit down for them and they shook their head no so I took it and they hit me out of the exit. I know people say The Twins aren't great and no one really plays as them, but I love them to death. And I enjoyed being able to follow them around the map and help them with whatever they were trying to do xD

I then had a match on Ormond. I love that map but it's hard for me to see skill checks because of all the snow. Every time I found a gen I could work on, it was already done. Eventually the gens got done and two people left. The Jane and I looked for the Killer who was Ghostface, but Jane left eventually. I ran around the map, looking for him because he didn't down or hook anyone all match and I was going to let him kill me. I found him teabagging at the other exit. I ran up to him and teabagged with him, then he teabagged away from me. I said "You get back here and you hook me! -teabags after-" I literally chased him across the map, teabagging. Eventually time ran out and I died teabagging with him.

Then I had a match with people who seemed better at the game than me, but I was able to keep up. The Killer was The Trapper and he seemed pretty good too. Everyone escaped and I was afraid to open the chat because I thought people would be snarky, but everyone said gg. So that might not seem extra wholesome, but it was nice to have a good match with people who were happy with it - even the Killer.

I've had two:

Someone came into my stream after a game and starting being rude and aggressive... so I banned him, cba dealing with that.

He put in an unban request with what sounded like a sincere apology... he was just frustrated and venting, so I unbanned him to see what he'd say. He subbed as an apology :)

On another occasion, someone claimed I'd tunnelled them and came into my stream to vent... they got banned (I don't mind a discussion, but I won't take aggro). Their friend hung around to "argue" their case though, so we watched the VOD back which showed clearly that: (a) they didn't bother healing after being unhooked the first time, (b) they had ample time to hear my TR and get away, but they chose to stick onto a gen, (c) when I approached they literally ran into me (as opposed to away - it was in a corridor on Midwich) so I downed them, they then DS'd me, and I downed them again (no-one else around), and hooked them a 2nd time. I found someone else, took them to the basement, this guy got unhooked the moment I hooked the other person (so they knew I was in the basement at the end of the corridor) and he literally runs to me again... so I downed him at the top of the stairs and put him in the basement.

The friend conceded that he was an idiot and there was no tunnel. He literally gave himself up. Lol.

This little baby bubba tried hide and seek, but he seemingly misunderstood the game :/

Here´s another absolute wholesome moment:

Devs implement 20 meter hitboxes:

Iri hatches´ huntress: Interesting

I can´t believe, that those completely overpowered addons are still a thing. But hey, DBD isn´t killersided AT ALL

So one time I was kind of getting screwed over by flashlight saving higher rank survivors. Then, the last gen gets done, as I down someone. People keep coming over and getting downed. Eventually the whole team is downed. So I hook and kill three people, but the forth crawls away. I decide to go look for hatch. I find and close it. I eventually find the last survivor. I pick them up, walk over to a hook, and then keep walking. They aren’t struggling. I carry them to the nearest door, and spin and hit it until they wiggle off. They open it, I down them and they crawl away out. Just wanted to share this because it made me feel good. Also, I was clown with bad perks.

to be fair... i played hag with rusty shackles + save the best for last and dark devotion and well a 43ms ping but d-synch is still a thing xD

i expected purple/red ranks to know atleast the killers powers... or beeing capable to read addon descriptions...

As killer sometimes i get trash talking survivors complaining about me using an op character or perk and other times they trash talk how they escaped so easily... blah blah blah. Well this one survivor actually took the time to apologize about trash talking me in a game i don't even remember. I told him it doesn't bother me and i barely notice anymore. I just thought it was pretty nice. He escaped this time too by the way. 😅

[Not that it matters but i was Oni and he was Dwight, just thought some people would like to picture those two characters having the discussion lol]

So close yet so far xD

weirdly wholesome moment. when I first started playing as the Hag I was matched with -gasp- fellow low rankers. we were all noobies but it was a fun match. what was wholesome about it you say? see, they did 5 gens and the gates were powered up. I went up to one of the gates to put a trap near the lever and noticed I could interact with it. "oh, I can touch the lever as a killer? maybe I can sabo it?" then WHAM!!! the gate flung wiiiiide open. I'm sure when I was standing at the lever it said something like "M1:OPEN gate (or something similar)" but my deathly nearsighted eyes did not read the text.

all 4 survivors ran to the gate while I was standing there in disbelief, they all exited, and in the post game chat they said something like "thanks Hag you're super nice<333" "luv you Lisa<3" ...they probably thought I was farming when in fact I just sucked, lol. oh well, them thanking me like that felt strangely warm. I hope they are still playing and having fun.

I had one earlier today.

Started the match and the killer was on me almost immediately, chased me down and hooked me and then face-camped (literally in my face hacking at me, fortunately while the rest of the survivors worked on gens) until I got near the second stage, they then all rushed the killer and one got me off the hook. I limped away and the killer went after me yet again - downed me but I had DS and got away. Killer went for me (and only me) yet again (even going literally right by other team mates) but meanwhile the rest of my team were on the gens. I get hooked again and then unhooked, but guess what the killer still only has eyes for me. By this time the exit gates are open since my team has had almost a free pass and I get downed again, hoisted by the killer but I'm wiggling like a demon and my team mates are literally body-blocking the killer to stop them getting me on the hook. I wiggle free and book it to the exit along with my team - killer got about 7k point total for the match, haha GG loser!

Last match of the night yesterday, and my friend and I are facing off against a Deathslinger on an Auto map. We hide when the killer gets close, then jump back onto a gen together. I commented that I thought the sound of crows was ... unusual? Next thing we know, Deathslinger heads back to us, we scatter, and around the corner I see our two teammates, spawned together -- and both AFK with crows. 🤬

The Deathslinger downs them both, but doesn't hook them. He eventually finds me, while my friend goes to pick up one of the downed AFK players. They had no recovery, so I'm on the ground by the time he picks them up. The Deathslinger leaves me slugged, then heads back in the direction of my friend and the other two. My first thought was they were going to be extra-sweaty and go for the quick 4K when they downed my friend. When I my friend went down, the AFK player they had picked up (who still hadn't moved) was slugged again, and at some point decided "Hey, let me check in on the game I hit ready to play" and DC'ed.

The Deathslinger picked my friend up, but wouldn't hook him, but let him wiggle off. He came to pick me up, and we farmed with the Deathslinger as the other AFK player eventually bled out. We tried to get the killer to hook us, but he shook his head no, but continued to use the two of us as target practice for his gun (though he wouldn't knock us down). We left out med-kits at the exit when we escaped the match at the end. He had the easiest 4K imaginable if he wanted it, but whoever they were, they knew how bad it was for us to get stuck with the teammates we had and showed mercy. If they'd just finished us off quickly, I wouldn't have blamed them -- but to whomever it was, if you read this -- thanks. In a seemingly sea of toxic survivors and killers that play this game, you stood out as the best of contrasts.

Playing Survivor on PS4 with my girlfriend. Long story short, killer messaged us GG, thanked us for sticking out the match, and called out the poor teammates we had on their crap. Even apologized for the fact she got to 2nd state on her first hook with almost no pressure because our only remaining teammate spent the whole time on a generator while I was in a chase. I seldom see that kind of sportsmanship and general pleasantries. It's the little things.
