Had enough, as a Killer main, bye, I'm off to Propnight.
Had enough. Uninstalled 5 minutes ago and came to write this post.
- devs actually claiming SWF is not cheating LOL. Sold their souls to the devil (figure of speech)
- the broken mechanics that all favor the Survivors
- the insane grind required to unlock the good perks so you can compete better
- Being forced to run Lightborn or else suffer the toxic flashlight abuse
- the most famous Killer on your roster (Myers) is trash tier and dependent on grinding BP to buy addons (Myers is the entire reason I bought this game + DLC on my 1st day in the first place, imagine my disappointment on finding out how trash he is compared to other Killers)... but the dev's don't care because he's an old release and most of their playerbase already has him. If there's no money to be earned, why improve your game, am i right?
- lol @ the devs doing an Epic Games giveaway in order to re-fill the ranks of people who will quit to VHS/Propnight etc. Why bother fixing the game? Nah, just get new suckers to come in to replace those of us who leave.
- i could go on and on but i'm not going to.
The new killer is good but it's not my style.
I bought this game a week or two before Halloween Oct 31 2021. I'm leaving to greener pastures. Propnight is way more fun.
I've seen enough, and I would never have left if it wasn't for the devs attitude and lack of integrity. SWF is clearly an unfair advantage, knowing the location of killer at all times is THE SINGLE MOST important factor in any game. Anyway I'm done talking to a brick wall who just cares about selling their souls to take the easy road.
Bye. I'm off to Propnight. It's fun.

Myers is outdated. He can be the worst killer or one of the most busted killer in the game (tombstone piece myers hello) and yeah that sucks.
However I don't understand the hype around propnight... I wouldn't spend more than 5€ at this game, it's too expensive for what it's worth imo.

It’s not that hard to deal with flashlights. And a squad that committed to flashlights is easier to beat.

See you in a week.

Just by saying you need lightborn to stop flashlight abuse tells me all I need to know. Have fun attacking jumping coke bottles and guitars.

- Being forced to run Lightborn or else suffer the toxic flashlight abuse
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone claim with a straight face they were “forced to run Lightborn”. 🤨

Only reason I'd ever come back to anything DBD related is to quote your post on the forums with a picture of my last played on Steam, so you can see the egg on your face.
6 -
Don’t bother. Why not just move on from a game you no longer enjoy?
It’s pretty simple.
7 -
Because you posted something that questioned my quitting. I really am quitting, and I don't need you calling me a liar. So yeah, I'll be back in 1 week with a screenshot and quote you.
3 -
If you truly were quitting you would just do it.
No announcement needed.
8 -
See you in a week.
4 -
Most people come back after they realize there is no better alternative to DBD.
You have a better shot at quitting since you're extremely new and aren't affected by the sunk-cost fallacy yet.

I agree with everything you have said
SWF is clearly cheating, and that may sound wierd but it is. Comms were never supposed to be a thing. But seen as it is a thing. Can we get 2 killers and 8 survivors as normal dbd so killers can have comms? Survs have to do 10 gens aswell

Thanks for the laughs I suppose.

Here.
This is from 2.5 years ago. This is not something new.

I do agree that it seems highly sus that they now give the game away for free on EPIC, when the Communities trust in the devs is at its lowest it has ever been.
First of all, I will be the first guy to criticize SWF heavily, you can check my post history for that ;) But to call it "cheating" is a bit too much. What I call it is "Heavy abuse of all the advantages they get thrown in their lap" :) It does feel like cheating sometimes though, as there is nothing you can do about it.

flashlights are just busted. I already said limit them to 3 times per game, nerf toolboxes and nerf med-kits, nerf dead hard, nerf CoH. Make maps smaller And maybe, just MAYBE. Swf wont be an issue

Propnight, released 4 days ago.
Soon : VHS, releasing in 2022
you're welcome
0 -
I guess the only players that matter to you are the Iri 1 elite players. The rest of us don't matter?
1 -
Neither of those games are better, objectively speaking.
You're upset, so I'm not really interested in convincing you.
5 -
Propnight is already one of the top games on twitch streaming in only 3 days
Enjoy your bubble.
0 -
Not this please...
And BTW Propnight has SWF too. And even more "busted" than DbD. Good luck there. :)
0 -
You don't need to be Iri 1 to look down lmao.
1 -
Iri 1 is no indication of skill level, just how much time that person has played that month. You don't need to be an elite player to deal with flashlights. You've had the game for like a month so you aren't the best you could be yet. Since you like myers get bamboozle with corrupt if you haven't tried already.
0 -
We all know you’ll be back.
0 -
I left the game a month a go, and now I'm enjoying prop night aswell. With some polishing it will be a real competitor to DBD.
2 -
Nobody cares that you're leaving. Your post is just coming off as you complaning because you dont have an "ez game" in dbd. You'll find the same experience elsewere because there's always going to be better players than yourself. And SWF isn't a cheat. Whats wrong with friends wanting to play together besides it making it harder for you? Nothing. get over yourself.
2 -
Pretty strong opinions to have after just over a month, I've bought games that I didn't get on with as well, I stop playing them and move on to something I prefer.
I reckon you'll see loads of these posts popping up "I hate the game, I'm going to play Propnight, why don't you come and join me" "DBD is trash, we should all go and play VHS"
All these games can survive alongside each other, just play the one you enjoy.
Me, I still have good fun on DBD, if that changes I might have a look at the competitors but I won't be going over to their forums and absolutely hammering the games at any point.

I'm just waiting until I get my VHS key to finally uninstall and get my fix of asym horror game from an actual balanced game

Psst you do not speak for the community - you only speak for yourself. There is no way to get any type of ACCURATE data on what the COMMUNITY thinks; especially from the forums.
1 -
Do we care? No.

I believe myself to be among the default, as I have thousands of hours played since 2016, I have a good idea of what is logic speak and what is whining. My thoughts are very much on the same page as top streamers who have 5-10k hours under their belt. Based on that, I believe I have a good idea of "what the community thinks".
If I were a random Joe that picked up the game through Epic Game Store, You can discredit me all you want. But not in my case :) I have played both sides aprox equally over the years (always solo on one end even). So I'd like to believe I have a good idea where the games balance is at.
If you disagree with that, that is your right. But I am telling you you are wrong ;)

Okay, bye.

see ya around.

Propnight is like a party game for kids? It looks incredibly immature. But then DbD is for "serious horror fans" (Tongue in cheek). So it follows that Propnight is fun and DbD is generally frustrating and sometimes ragequit inducing.
0 -
SWF is cheating? Because it was introduced 1 month after release? I guess Gen regression in any way is also cheating because iirc killers were not able to kick gens on release…
Lightborn helps against ‚toxic flashlight abuse‘? What’s the abuse here exactly? Using an item in its legitimate way?
Myers trash tier? Outdated mechanics yeah… but trash..?
there are SO many issues in DbD but you somehow didn’t mention one except for maybe the grind?
good luck on VHS and Propnight though.
0 -
I have over 4k hours and you most definitely do not speak for me as a player or a Twitch Partner. You may THINK you know what the community believes, but you have no way of knowing. But yes - please keep speaking for others - it shows off your narcissism and hyperbolic thought process.
1 -
The hype will die down when all the top streamers will go to another game. Just like with bf2042 and among us. Among us was a hype for a few weeks and then most streamers quit that game altogether.
1 -
Can you make a discussion thread twice a week updating your journey of not playing DBD?
2 -
So you've never been blinded from an impossible angle? No times where the survivor was off-screen yet somehow got the blind?
0 -
I mean, this is just objectively wrong. Most of the hardcore flashlight bully squads are survivors with thousands and thousands of hours that are bored of the game and just want to make the game as frustrating as possible. They're all running every 2nd chance perk, iron will, and dead hard. They are not easy to beat in the slightest for the vast majority of killer players
0 -
Can people please stop making these posts? If you’re going to stop playing just do it, no need to announce it. When I take a few weeks off dbd because I’m burned out, I don’t make a post about it because I’m not an attention seeker.
2 -
Why not?
1 -
I get your frustrated and calling it a day, its a game its meant to be fun but if it aint fun anymore then find something else. Good luck with prop night.
I realise making an I'm quitting post is often a bit much but its feedback telling the devs some players aren't happy so if you feel you need to, go for it.
I have to say this too you only need to look at all the toxic snide responses from people in this thread to get a feeling for just how crap this community can be. This game needs more players not less and toxic fuckwits don't help grow the player base.

I doubt anyone super important reads these or even comes to the forums at all... that's why we have community managers. Doubtful that they even relay this kind of information to anyone because its negative and I'm sure most people who run a business dont want to hear negative thoughts... but that should not discourage anyone from voicing their opinions. Their opinions are still valid and worth listening to.
I've come close to quitting on several occasions because I know in higher MMR games my killers are going to struggle. Even the best players out there are literally saying "Well if you dont run top tier perks against top tier survivors you should expect to lose". What a quitter attitude to have... perks should be additional support instead of base line or mandatory. Diversity doesnt start with tunnel vision and closed mindedness.
And another post, "as long as you play these 3 killers at top tier play the game is technically balanced...maybe!"... right, because all I want to do in this game is play 3 killers so I dont have to lose a lot of my games. Pitiful stuff.

I tried Propnight and the first match i was called "trash player' at voip for all players.
Refunded so hard LOL.
I'm trying to say that no game is perfect.
1 -
What makes Propnight more fun? Serious question, as I am trying to find a game to play while banned from DBD.
0 -
That's the main crutch with any multiplayer game: it doesn't matter whether it's good, bad, complete crap or the most perfectly-designed asymmetrical game ever devised, the biggest problem in any game is the attitude of the players. I've no doubt DBD would be much better thought-of if players were more respectful. Many topics have their roots based on attitude over gameplay.
YouTube had a video of one particular streamer (not a well-known one) who was just the most pitiful of individuals I've seen play and fortunately one guy was calling him out, but the worst thing was this guy had a few thousand followers on his profile, which may mean at least a good percentage of them condone his actions. I know not all of them would actually watch the streams, but it was still worrying.
People need to own the first step: no point saying they are like this because the other won't change; it's got to be acted upon by the better person.

Pretty much this.
If I was new I'd be quitting too because of the ridiculous grind. But after grinding all of this, I'd just rather adapt.
0 -
I'd play propnight but i am certainly not paying £15 for it!

Sorry that you're not having fun with DbD, hope you find another game that you enjoy playing.
