What Were Your First Memories of DBD?

Me remembering my first ever game of DBD as Wraith in early 2018 that caused me to forever hate Claudettes

Feng, Doctor, Fractured Cowshed.

Trapping a Jake in the beta

That god damn Storehouse window...

I remember how happy I was when I unlocked sprint burst on my nea so I could urban evade everywhere until the killer saw me and I could then zoom away. I was quite pleased with myself for having thought of this big-brain strategy.

Sneaking around in the corners of the map and start running when i heard terror radius, right into a chainsaw. :D

My first memories are repairing a gen that constantly exploded, like non-stop, no matter what I did, the UI made little sense.

And then when I somehow figured that out, the generators own sounds scared me and made me jump at shadows. For real, we all have no more awareness for that, but the repairing sounds of the gens are squire spooky when you listen in closely.

Oh, and my first killer was a Clown, and he intoxicated and downed my within seconds. It was a very short game. Lol.

I got it near the release date, played only survivor, hated it and returned 4 years later to play killer and i like it. i mean if you can like playing a killer at all...

I had heard about DbD from my friend, who was looking for games to play during the lockdowns in 2020. He was a Spirit main and had played survivor a few times for a laugh and he recommended the game. So a sale comes around and I buy DbD and a couple of chapters, because why not.

Anyway, my first ever match as a survivor was against a face camping Bubba. 8D

I don't even think we had loaded in for all that long either, literally my friend (who had introduced me to the game and was helping me get started) and I had just found a gen, and hadn't been working on it for long before Bubba just came out of no-where. I took a hit and my friend and I scattered, I hid in a locker (a rookie mistake I know), got pulled out then hooked. Bubba just stood in front of me revving his chainsaw, I got to second stage before my friend and a random distracted Bubba long enough to get me unhooked, but I must have somehow insulted this Bubba's family with my mere existence. Because he chased, downed and hooked me again...Thus ended my first-ever game of DbD, luckily I was just confused as to what was going on to be mad or upset. I don't know if that was my friend's MMR dragging me up or just MMR trying to figure out if I was a smurf or something, but man, that was quite the introduction to DbD.

Nothing in comparison to my third game where my team and I were 4-man slugged by a wraith, just four minutes of bleeding out because the player was being an asshat. Like I get it, he was probably frustrated from a previous match but there was no need to do what he did.

Got the hatch in my very first match. Lots of trappers putting traps under my feet and wraiths face camping me.

Not a long time player here, but here goes !

I've watched a friend stream DbD as both survivor and killer throughout 2021, without really understanding the game. During that same period, other friends were hounding me about playing it, and I'd always answer them the same thing, that I don't like pvp games.

I eventually accepted to buy the game when it was on sale for the anniversary this year, but only to play custom games between us.

But it seemed like a missed opportunity to not bathe in the bloodpoints fest of the event... so I relented and went with them to real games.

My first game, I was obliterated by a Trapper, who apologized for terminating me early in the game and gave a couple of advices.

Next game, a very good Nurse on Midwich notices I'm a baby and lets me practice my skillchecks without killing me, and gives me the escape.

First killer game, I'm completely lost on Midwich, and a survivor comes to guide me around.

I realized that even though the game is pvp and at times people are dumb and mean, there are also plenty of nice players, and I could live with that. =)

Moring a Nea as legion that i instantly bought.

My son ran into some sort of issue and he reported it to support. The support staff were awesome and handed him a bunch of blood to make it right. The next day I finished and claimed two daily rituals and didn't get the reward from them. I put in a support ticket and the support staff were the worst and basically told me, 'Too bad go away'... That is DbD.

Bought the game when Stranger Things was about to leave, (Never watched the show, but Demo looked cool). Played the tutorial and thought that this seemed like a simple concept, hide from killer, do the gens, get out. Started the game as Nancy, got left to die on first hook. Next game, slugged by a Ghostface and left to bled out. Next game, almost about to escape, on 2 hook already, a Feng body blocks me from a window as a Legion mori's me and the other three escape. I thought okay, survivor kinda sucks let's try Killer!

Baby trapper against 4-man bully squad with flashlights.

I uninstalled the next day, but lo and behold, I came back, watched some tips, and just kept grinding. Hang in there dudes, it takes time. :)

Devouring the wiki content to learn bout the game. Watching streams pf the ptb for wesker.

First game as demo, 4k on coldwind. Then trapper on macmillans 3k slugged and bled out one to death to do a daily ritual which required a mori 😅 noob mistakes

My first surv games were awful, trapper on macmillan estate. Got shredded. First game I actually survived, was against wraith on red temple yamaoka estate. Wraith was simply farming us. Got double hooked pretty quick then i was kept injured the entire game. Eventually he just let us go. Bit of a hollow win lol.

Awwww, so wholesome! Lovethat vibe <3

I used to drop every pallet I came across because i though it would be easier to just vault when i'm chased

I remember one of my early matches against a Myers, I was repairing a gen in cowshed and I looked behind me, looked away and when I looked back a couple of seconds later he was just standing there, MENACINGLY!!!
