Let’s make DBD FUN again!

So I’m brand new to the forums but have been in The Fog for close to two years now. I started as a killer main, and loved it. Of course I’m not going to lie when I was a baby I would camp because I didn’t know the game.

Eventually got messages for it and tunneling as well. At first I blew it off as salt and not fully understand what these survivors were saying. Eventually the higher I got the better teams I would face, see new tricks, get bamboozled by some Chads pulling gangster plays.

Even learning that good swfs and solos in general can punish for camping and tunneling. So then I analyzed my gameplay and what went from 4Ks eventually went for 3Ks to eventually getting tbagged at exit gates. DS to a DH out the exit gates, so on so forth.

I started watching Otz and other top streamers to learn and get better. Started playing survivor to learn both sides and it made me a better killer.

Now I play on Xbox and I’m kind of an achievement hunter. So eventually after a couple months of the game I wanted to get every killer achievement. Which in essence sort of guides you into how you have to play to get merciless at top level.

If you camp you lose points, games over too soon you see that ruthless and ugh. So then I had to develop my own play. Intentionally avoiding ds and waiting dh,bt. Outplaying the perks by doing the opposite of what they intend.

Got all my merciless victories and then finally felt like I knew how to be a good killer. Then I got to what I believe is pretty close to top level MMR. Playing “fair” but competitive was becoming obsolete as well.

So now if I didn’t tunnel I wouldn’t have time to do anything else as the gens would be done or near done even if I had everyone on death hook. To me this is efficiency.

Plain and simple, the good survivors know that everything is time. The time wasted in chase on a good survivor is time gained on gens totems and everything else for them.

Camping and tunneling essentially will take 1-2 survivors out of the game but with the other two usually doubling and with prove thyself essentially keep their pressure as if at least three survivors were still on gens.

So yes it might not seem fair to the person getting tunneled but It’s a game everyone is playing to win. At the end of the day people are not playing to lose.

Now I wrote all this as a self story but hopefully a lot of you feel the same way. Now I got my girlfriend on the dbd train and she loves it. Unfortunately she wasn’t an avid gamer like me for years so everything is still very hard for her.

Which makes me feel bad because we love this game but sometimes we just don’t have fun. I can have a game where I get a 4K but I’m still upset, whether it was BMing or other things the game just didn’t feel fun.

I will have the rare match against a great swf that plays great without any clicking, teabagging or any form of bad behavior and fully enjoyed it, even with flashlight saves etc.

So what is all this getting at? I feel In order to make this game fun again we need to make it that way ourselves as a community and not depend on the Devs to do it.

Kind of like the problem most countries face where the people don’t realize how much power they have. I think if the game was separated into casual and competitive game modes it would be able to regulate the sweats from the casual players just wanting a good time on both sides.

Of course there will be trolls but that’s everywhere. I know there’s Kill Your friends mode but I feel there’s not enough people utilizing this with their friends as they want to play with their friends against someone.

But what if they had dedicated servers and lobbies for that purpose. What if we created lobbies for baby survivors and baby killers to learn. Learn to loop, flashlight save, pallet stun save.

How to get better at mind games, chases, jump scares. No dc penalties so that if there are cheaters or trolls just leave or kick them. Or if you want to RP Michael Myers, or any other killer.

I know I try to go into games going I’m just gonna scare them. Even if I death hook everyone then leave them slugged so their team can revive. Sometimes it works but more than not if I don’t show up to win, won’t even get to play.

So I suggest that everyone that is unhappy at the current state of the game to gather round this Campfire and let’s take it in our hands and make it the game we love. That way if you know you’re going in competitive you’re going to get wrecked or you’re going to wreck someone, but just for a fun night of scares and laughs go casual.

I know this would be a massive undertaking if it would even go into development, but I suggest for the time being maybe just add people here and let’s make DBD FUN! Again.

Oh and one last note to all the threads of camping and tunneling or the killer closing hatch at the endgame, just remember all those times you or your friends escaped hatch at 1 gen, or teabagged at the exit gate waiting for the killer to see you.

Don’t say you don’t because I’m guilty of that too. It happens but that’s the nature of the game. So hopefully some of you feel like me and would like to try what I’m talking about.

Caiiko is my gamer tag on Xbox I don’t have many friends so if you’re the first to be like let’s do that custom you were talking about please have at least 3 other people 😂. Okay thanks for your time! See you in The Fog!
