back and forth with dbd
lets start with a one good one bad type scenario
take your single best experience and single worst experience and tell me which one you think outweighs the other
I have a ton of fun with this game despite my constant complaints and frustration so Im curious as to whether or not others are in the same boat
(Ill go first for simplicity)
worst experience was when I first started, I got absolutely destroyed because of my lack of skill but I understood that and was ready to learn and improve only to have others in endgame chat to give me the classic hate speech of how bad I was and that I should "off myself" back then I didnt even think to report it and took the criticism to heart because I didnt know how else to respond to it and as a whole it was crushing
as for my best experience? I met some of my friends through playing this game and despite the pain I go through on occassion Id do it all again to keep these people in my life!
so yeah positive outweighs the negative for me but what about the rest of you?

Sigh, if I'm being completley honest then I'd have to say that for me it's the other way around. I have a lot of fun with this game for sure, but I have at least 3x as much frustration. Most days I don't even look forward to playing, but I log on and play because I have nothing else to do. Dbd has become a time killer for me. But I probably won't stop playing any time soon, not until I find a better game. (Been playing more Friday the 13th recently 👀)

Mine are based on set pieces, or trials with a lot of drama. If everyone is on a similar skill level, there are many exciting, tense and unintentionally funny moments that can come about. When I start getting a feel of the players, the frustration can actually give way to amusement! 2 days ago I fought 4 great survivors as Trapper. There was this pink shirt-wearing Ace with a torch who was absolutely everywhere! At first it was irritating, then I actually found it funny and dodged as many blinds as they hit.
Negative is just the sore losers (or winners) I come across, although thankfully that's quite rare. But when they do occur, it's just sad to consider their lives mean so little to them thatthis game is such a big deal to then.
Fortunately, the positives vastly outway the negatives.

My best experience was cornering a Jill on Midwitch with the Zombies during the RE PTB. Her terror was almost tangible, and I could just drink it in as the walls closed in on her. It was exhilarating to watch her squirm, and the ticking of the EGC timer made it all the better. I feel like I won't get another experience like that any time soon.
My worst experience was... the standard. Playing Trapper with a meme build against a red ranked 4man bully squad on Haddonfield. They drew out the match for 45 minutes, never completing the the last gen, despite 99ing all three of the last remaining ones. I managed to snag two hooks out of them, but that was all I got, other than a nice, comforting Entity Displeased sound effect. They then took the time to explain how they just played a Haddonfield offering for the tome, and that I was in the wrong for not wanting to chase them for the last seven minutes of the match.
I would say that the negative very much outweighs the positive.

My best experience was playing Old Freddy during the last Winter Solstice event, back when I first started playing DBD (2018). Those trials were what made me fall in love with this game.
And my worst experience was, without a shadow of a doubt, my first trial as Reworked Freddy. I had just lost my favourite killer and everything felt wrong. I don't even like thinking about it.
Thankfully my positive memories, especially the ones regarding "Old DBD", vastly outweighs the negatives.

I am so sorry and I hope the bad experience didnt/doesnt leave a lasting impact
also did you report them for holding the game hostage? I always forget thats reportable despite it being more common than other reportable offenses
