I miss the old DBD

I joined in December 2018, and I remember looking at the killer roster and I saw Spirit, I knew I had to buy her because her power was very unique and better from the other killers I looked at, and her outfits were just beautiful. I remember the old maps and environment while I played Spirit, and how spooky it looked, very nostalgic for me. After everything that changed throughout the years it kind of hits you in the stomach with memories of how fast time went. I remember old ranks, there weren't no grades back then, I remember grinding blood points for Spirit and getting to rank 1 and Prestige 3. I will always though never forget how powerful Old Spirit was, thinking about it makes me miss it a lot, but current Spirit is still as good and will always be the best. I do miss a lot of the old stuff DBD had to offer.

I aint gonna get all sentimental and say I have all those mushy crap nostalgic feelings, but I joined shortly after the ps4 port and there were good times and bad. Mostly good for players like myself. Say what you will about the old moris, keys, hatch, models, and animation but I never had as much of an issue with them being the way they were as others have. Probably a hot take but they just added to the already unique horror experience the game provided.

Figure you'll pop in on this one eventually @GeneralV

I miss being new and having this feeling of being on edge

Everything else? Can stay in the past for the most part

the old maps were much more atmospheric. not saying they weren't abuseable but i liked the general design more back then.

I've started playing the game in late 2017, so you could say that I've had some experiences already.

What I do miss the most was the horror atmosphere; The fog and how dark those maps were. There were so many bushes, a lot of grass to allow MacMillan to hide bear traps within, as well as more pallets, offering you more bloodpoints towards the brutality category, and so much more..

Nowadays, it's all about getting the generators done and chases; There's no hide and seek, unless we're talking about hiding behind walls.. And that's no longer what fits the horror atmosphere, as the killer can see scratch marks.

There were so many Claudettes wearing black and brown outfits to blend-in, making them literally impossible to spot.. Generators were getting finished within a blink of an eye, but so were being hooked survivors. Mori offerings were actually a threat, whereas they're just for the sake of it nowadays.

I can't relate and agree with you when it comes to Rin's outfits and outfits in general, though; It seems to me that BHVR didn't have a team handling those tasks back in the day, so there were less outfits and they were of much lower quality if you were to compare them with the newest ones.

The game has started to lose its horror atmoshpere shortly after releasing the Shattered Bloodline Chapter, I guess..

The jumpscare with Spirit yanking someone off a gen was great 😂

You realize that people enjoy old dbd for the nostalgia and not for the sake of winning every game right?

The game is not killer sided though. Camping and tunneling are definitely a problem, but the game isn't really killer sided in general.

When you say it was at least fun, that sounds like you are only saying this from a survivors point of view. A game being really unfair for killers surely was quite frustrating for killer players.

This game is actually moving in a great direction, now that tunneling at least is also getting a nerf. I hope BHVR continues in that direction.

I'm pretty sure, most players would've started to complain the moment it'd get introduced and implemented, if that were to ever happen; The game got changed because people were complaining about Claudettes hiding in bushes and dark corners of the map..

Althou true, i think however he would benefit more if he already had some of his bear traps spawned in loops immediately placed and ready, it would save Trapper time in both collecting them and setting them up.

Not necessarily if the spawn locations are RNG and the number of traps are less than the amount Trapper carries himself.

I don't think it is, but we can agree to disagree on the matter i guess.

Also what does *s mean?

Not here.

I can give you a proper explanation there.

Yes, pretty much. I remember some matches, where i could hide in high grass and a killer could step on me and wouldn´t notice that i´m there. Or playing as Freddy with no moonlight offerings. Maps were so dark, you had to search survivors with his power.

Bloodpoint limit was also 500k back then and the bloodweb items became more expensive the further they were from the center away. Its a endless list of things that improved for both sides.

Rose-tinted glasses. You're just burnt out.

For me it is mostly nostalgia. I ha e to say it's really the only game that gives off such a feeling. I never thought I would have nostalgia over a video game but here I am. The moonlight or dark moonlight offerings got a little out of hand when they were stacked but I still don't agree with making the maps insainly bright. They need to still be dark with nice hiding spots here and there. I envy the people that r still in the stealthy stage of dbd and also feel bad cause they never got to experience what us 2106-2017-18 players got to experience
