So you bring mori without the intent to kill people. Yeah that definitely makes more sense.
Maybe you also forgot you had that offering lol.
Don't be mad people are trying to escape while you planned to kill them and you even did. You are just making excuses for yourself while bashing the other side for doing their objective.
4 -
There is no difference. But that's not the problem. Its the intentions. A mori causes survivors to be on their toes at the beginning of thr game. And farming will not sway them to join in if you bring it. But a flan or bloody party streamers might
1 -
alright alright let's say the mori made them try hard, what about the next game i played as a sadako, so was that my fault as well for bring those perks or what?
or you gonna give some response of you have franklins?

And in this exhibit, we find the response he was actually fishing for.

For many people winning is fun (as you have also demonstrated). There are many ways to entice survivors to play around with you but killers who want to have fun (at least the way I understand it) are 1 in 100.

We can play how we want. Fun to you may not be fun to me.
for instance:
I hate farming. I want to play as intended with the ONLY exception being if 2 or more people DC. Then I’ll farm because it’s the only way both the killer and I get points. I don’t care if I die in this instance so long as the killer lets me do a couple gens so both of our time isn’t wasted.
some find it fun to farm. I hate it. I also hate that it turns to a 4v1 with me as a survivor being the 1 because the rest of the team wants to force me to farm.
I don’t care if there’s an event. I’m still playing the best I can no matter what.
0 -
Exactly what is there to do to ‘have fun’ in this event? You can get inside the useless snowmen and do absolutely nothing. That’s it. Any fun to be had has to come from killers and survivors just mutually agreeing to be non toxic and lighten up. This is probably the worst event yet. Nothing at all new or fun or special
3 -
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but "knowing what fun is" is a impossibility, as the concept of fun is entirely subjective, what you find fun another might find miserable and vice versa, especially in a multiplayer game where the fun of one side comes at the expense of the other
The best way to have fun, i find, is to simply let go, relax, see what tomfoolery you can get up to during the match and damn what the other side thinks, that's how i play and it works for me pretty well
3 -
so you are allowed to agree with others but im not.
and many others gave good answers and i agreed but because i agreed with someone who appeases the negative side of killer you picked it up, ironic.
0 -
No I'm not. Like I said in my first reply, nothing really wrong with using any perk or offering and people on both sides trying to win.
Even if you didn't try to win people can't really mind read. Also killers who I thought would meme killed and bmed me countless times. And when I went easy on some survs they bmed at the exit, why would anyone even trust the other side will farm or whatever was your intention?
There is also 0 reason not to gen rush in current game state if you want to escape in solo q. After tons of games where killers tunnel at 5 gens and slap 4 anti gens, why am I gonna risk it goofin around? Especially if teammates are already wasting precious time.
1 -
because its an event....but you are right, this community doesn't know events or anything jeez even league players tried to have fun in events...what have i got myself into
anyways you do make a lot of good points and that's the main problem with the game, both sides forcing each other to tryharding creating limbo of tryharding
0 -
I honestly read through all 4 pages and all i can say is what goes around comes around.
1 -
welcome to dbd, where killers shouldn't have opinions and survivors are always right.
0 -
I don't know how you interpret that into my statement. the killer is the person who decides whether the match is a meme or is played normally. a survivor can only express his wish. I would also like to point out that the killer as an individual determines the fun of four other people with his actions.
3 -
im talking about this website not in game
0 -
Yeah, because you started clapping for the guy who sounds like he wears a Trapper mask in real life after a whole thread of "but it's cute when I do it".
3 -
Hey… here’s the ‘fun’ killer I just played with:
A bubba. Got into a snowman a couple times. If you walked up to him he just hit you or came after you with the chainsaw. When we tried to walk around in snowmen on just do a gen and see if he’d leave us alone he just slaughtered us. What a hoot! Such good fun….
2 -
I run Mori's a LOT. I just love Ghostface's Mori 🤷♀️ if I get to use it then I do, and if I don't then I don't on to the next one, it's not always tryharding. I mean come on! Who doesn't want a selfie with GF??
0 -
I don't mind having a meme around, I had a hilarious game earlier with a Trapper, another solo, and a duo. But I have to agree on the mori. Nothing about a mori says the killer wants to meme around. Neither do your perks. Just another survivor perspective here. I would assume an easy kill trap. Usually messing around also means letting the killer kick our gens and down and hook us twice, which your perks would be majorly counterproductive for. Not to mention annoying lol
3 -
put a trap on a dwight, he dies from it because others are doing gens faster than light
Not actually true. I'd recommend you take another look at your addons and their descriptions. You're running Bag of Gears and Tampered Timer. The only way Dwight's death would've been a result and consequence of "gen rushing" is if you were running Jigsaw's Annotated Plan addon, you're not. That addon states:
- Each time a Generator is completed, the Death Timer of all active Reverse Bear Traps is reduced by -10 seconds.
Tampered Timer only reduces the timer's default timer. It makes it tick faster regardless of if gens get done. Gens have zero to do with this addon.
Crate of Gears:
- Increases the Attaching speed of Reverse Bear Traps by +50 %.
- Decreases the Search speed of Jigsaw Boxes by -14 %.
In short, the build killed Dwight, not the gens. You killed Dwight, not his teammates or the objective which is what one of those addons punishes.
Though, to be honest, that's not what your whole post is about, is it? The mori, the build, you wanted kills why else would you run it including the mori? You weren't out for fun. If you were, you wouldn't have brought the mori or the build. What I'm not understanding is why want kills then complain about people not wanting to have fun on the forums when your whole build is I want kills then you're here proclaiming the opposite? People have explained to you why the mori is the polar opposite to survivors of friendliness, recommend you switch up your build if you're genuinely out to be a friendly killer but you aren't listening nor do you actually care. No one and I mean no one is going to take a look at that secret offering, realize the probability of it being a mori is 90% and think time to farm!
Either change your build or don't complain when survivors try to actually, you know, survive.
4 -
No,whether they want to chase or gen rush.,or butt dance or flashlight spam or all the things survivors do.
0 -
They want the survivors to have fun the way they do, it's obvious. I don't even know if this user is a troll anymore, everytime they make a thread complaining about sweaty survivors I see them post a screenshot where they got a 3k-4k.🙈
3 -
no, il stop meming because i wanted to stop meming (because i still want to play the game), i never consider how survivors acted into account because at the end of the day, i willingly put myself into that situation.
1 -
sorry but i will do and agree or disagree with whoever i want, you have no business in telling me that, if you got no more opinion about the post subject you are free to ignore it.
0 -
NO, NOT FUN ALLOWED
MORI MEANS TRYHARDING.
ugh
0 -
i changed it didn't i? (second picture)
and yet nothing changed. so what's ur damn point here
and when i said his head popped because the others were doing gens faster than light just a bit of common sense and you would realize i was pressuring him while his friends did nothing to prevent it.
trust me i have been playing pig since release i don't need you to psycho analyze my build
0 -
imma leave you with this video, this video is everyone's sense in this place
why are you complain about winning and suffering with a low tier killer that your heart is beating out of your chest
you know....maybe slugging as nurse is pretty well.
0 -
I wouldn't dream of telling you not to make quality forum Content™, my friend.
4 -
you trusted a bubba.....
a killer that can insta down multiple survivors at once....
0 -
Please slug, if I also played Nurse I would also slug. Not because I hate survivors but amongst those survivors some of them are killer mains playing survivor for incentives and even if not I would still play as disgusting as possible cause the game allows me to. Again what was your point?
0 -
Quality forum content?
do you mean the 600 complains about nurse or eruption?
yes so much quality...jeez
not sure if you are making a joke or just have nothing else to do
0 -
the point is, just because a killer won a game doesn't mean they enjoyed it
yes you got a 4k, but you are on the verge of a heart attack, is that enjoyable?
0 -
You do know you can play a different role or another game if it affects your mental health that much right?
PvP games in general are more try-hard than single-player games. You cannot go expecting the same experience and games like LoL can last anywhere from 20 mins to 40 mins on average and require EVERYONE to juggle macro and micro, so no I cannot say I follow you, because obviously to be playing killer it must mean you at least find it enjoyable and rewarding for the most part, otherwise you wouldn't get as invested in it.
Are you on the verge of having a heart attack over 50% of the games or a couple games out of a hundred that stick out to you? If the first I would again advise to reconsider if you wish to continue playing this role if you feel it has a negative affect on you and don't enjoy it.
3 -
i can't stop playing killer, just something always draws me, sometimes i do play one sweaty game and quit and sometimes i gotta push forward and drink water, lots of water
and i do play other multiplayer games im not that addicted to dbd anymore, you know i never get that effect, something about dbd is stressful and im not the only saying this, since CoH got released the game just felt way too stressed, im not blaming the perk here or anything just in general something changed, that made the killer role stressful
even if you play to chill you subconsciously start to tryhard and that ain't normal, its like hearing the gens pop or not being able to punish a survivor for messing up so hard puts so much pressure on you u wanna pop like a ballon, maybe im taking the game too seriously or maybe im just an idiot, maybe both
but take league in example, if your enemy oversteps you can punish them, in dbd, its unfair that i as a killer get punished so hard for messing up while survivors mess up so much and get away with it most of the time.
but i learnt my lesson, never complain about how difficult winning a game is, especially not in these forums.
0 -
I see plenty of people having fun.
The problem is that going in to meme around does not guarantee the other side will do the same.
Last year killers got the greasy end of the stick. This year it's more balanced.
Shrug. And my last game of the night had a pair that literally did nothing all game but hide in snowman and avoid AFK crows. Annoying games happen.
Maybe the killer...you know, just wanted a standard game? This event doesn't even require interaction with the mechanic to unlock all (most?) of it's rewards.
0 -
Survivors also get punished over small mistakes. You could do all the gens and killer has 1 or 2 hooks in and come out with 3 kills because of misplay during the last 2 mins. Let's not include all the times you may be making the right decisions but a teammate refusing to take pressure on them.
If anything it feels to me like killer has more chances to affect the game even after gens are done especially if pallets have been used and there are little to none left. Survivors have no such power when they are doing bad because it's easier for killer to defend his advantage, like if 2 survivors are left with 3 gens. There's no way to come out a winner as a survivor team, at most a draw or a only one making it out.
You cannot always punish mistakes in League because there are so many variables. Your lane opponent could be inferior to you but because the enemy jungler is always there you cannot capitalize on it. Or you might be doing fine yourself but enemy toplaner got fed and is snowballing now. Certain roles and champs do have more agency in solo but this does not exist in DBD for survivors. In League you also have the clock-ticking, with certain champs becoming a lot stronger as the game goes on and others growing weaker meanwhile and winning or losing can sometimes be determined by only one mistake from one of your teammates. The thing is that over the years League has implemented more comeback mechanics. Back in the day if certain champs snowballed they could 1v5 the team on their own, but Riot did not like that and changed it and there's way less snowball potential than in the past.
But hey, when I go in League and play I know what champs my team is playing and what summoners they are bringing as well as their role in the team, in DBD I don't have that luxury except for seeing the items. The survivor they play tells me nothing about the intentions of the person behind the survivor or what they are trying to do.
Ranked LoL also gives heart attacks and if you are not trying people will flame you for trolling. Same can happen in normal mode which is more casual and even in more casual modes like ARAM. Heck, even many ARAM games I play have been lasting like 30 mins or more lately, that's how tryhard people are in LoL even on casual mode and sometimes if I see myself getting tilted or annoyed I decide to take a break. I cannot play as much League as I used to (it's way too time-consumming and I've been playing it for a really long time) and of course I don't derive the same joy as I used to the first month - year I was playing it. It's only natural after all.
1 -
Well...yes. The killer is 1 person. There are 4 survivors. The individual killer has more power to shape the game than an individual survivor.
LoL is not even slightly comparable, as that's a 5v5 Moba, and this is an APvP hide and seek game.
Both sides are absolutely able to turn a bad game around - but, because they are a team, the survivors will need teamwork to do it.
A win for a survivor is escaping. A win for a team of survivors is a 3 out. 2k is a draw. 3k is a killer win.
I'd say, of the two roles, survivor is the more snowbally. One bad chase and you sometimes just cannot kill them fast enough to prevent gens being done. Some killers/perk combos can snowball, but those are the exception.
LoL can definitely be toxic, but the last time I played, the Tribunal had basically cut down on that by 90%.
You can actually chat with your team in pregame. I do it frequently, mostly to make sure we don't have 4 Kindreds. Being able to see people's loadouts in the lobby is an interesting idea, but I worry that it's just going to mean everyone dodging anyone who isn't running meta.
0 -
Holy...the Tribunal has been gone since 2014... I dunno what server you were playing but EU is as toxic as ever (had been worse before the separation). People running it mid or AFKing is more annoying and tilting than being toxic imo.
The thing is 2 survivors cannot turn a game with 3 gens still un-repaired. A killer with a few hooks though, is significantly stronger at the end game because there are usually no resources left anymore. Definitely end - game perks make a turn around more possible, but when survivors bring end-game perks they might never make use of them. A hatch win isn't a real win though because there is no MMR increase, it's at most neutral.
Most of the time people I get matched with cannot chat because I have crossplay on. As for people dodging, the people who care about winning already do it if they see low prestige. But most don't care. Now the questions is, how much dodging would increase. People who already dodge will dodge regardless and I think they kind of should have the right with the matchmaking being as bad as it is atm. If it worked significantly better, dodging would be harder to defend.

"Just a bit of common sense" meanwhile I suppose I misunderstood because you yourself with the original post don't make much sense.
1 -
Uhm...Ok?! What is it you wanted to show with these pictures? Your perks and addons tell me that you are just as competitive as the survivors you were facing. And considering the fact that Pig and Sadako can bring instant death to survivors that make mistakes especially with the right addons it is hardly surprising these survivors weren't willing to mess around.
3 -
If you want an easier time getting your 4Ks in, play against bots.
Don't demand that survivors offer themselves up to be mori'd by you.
4 -
Not entitely related to OP's point (not that it matters as they are hammered) but we need a ranked and unranked queue to separate the people who want to goof off during the holidays and the people who want to play as normal. One should not have to go into the game and just hope that they have opponents who have the same mindset if they don't want to have to choose between two forms of not having fun.
1 -
If they are a troll.... it's trolls like these that make me miss sluzzy. At least they were an entertaining troll. Lol
Hope it's alright to give some two cents on something here regarding, "The thing is 2 survivors cannot turn a game with 3 gens still un-repaired." So I think it's absolutely possible. Just really, really difficult. As you said, there's barely any resources left if people are dead (unless your teammates haven't been using pallets then it's a different story) but I remember once being in a match against an Artist months ago on the Chapel map and someone DC'd at the start of the game and we got to 2-3 gens
somewhere in thereand I gave Artist the chase of my life and I was lucky enough to have teammates to actually have done gens while I was being chased. I got left sadly when she finally caught me but it was worth it since the other two got out. I've had games where it looked like we were toast but somehow came back and won. Which is partially why I love dbd: each trial is unique and anything can happen!0 -
The chances of winning though under those circumstances or even draw when there's 2 survivors left are very miniscule and pretty uncommon. But killers turning 0k to 2 or even 3k in endgame is way more possible and common.
1 -
Well, that's why I said really difficult. I know they're slim occurrences. But still possible. It's always a feels good when it happens no matter which role you're playing. :)

Gen rushing with 2 toolboxes (1 green, 1 yellow), no BNP & 1 prove thyself hardly qualifies for a gen rushing squad 🤣🤣🤣
3 -
There are challenges that involve the snowmen, so you need to get in them to complete them, and allow others to complete theirs.
Getting in and 'high-fiving' with snowmen has a BP score. You can easily surpass the 40K BP score cap this way, and reach 50K or more.
0 -
Is it? I think the Tribunal was switched to an automated Tribunal, right?
0 -
It's a system that picks up on toxicity in chat mostly. Old Tribunal had human judges if I am not wrong, so you could get chat restricted for saying certain words, but also avoid ban for a while if you were intentionally feeding, which for many people is a bigger offense but an automated system cannot pick up. Still, that might be true for the NA server because in EU, it hardly has any effect. People can still call you the r word or other stuff and I don't think reports are taken seriously. There's just a lot of bickering and more slurs on EU but in NA I think (as a bystander, since I don't play on NA) there's a lot more passive-aggressiveness.
