Curious...how many vets are still out there?

Honorable mentions to @GeneralV

I've been playing since launch on PC and switched to console as soon as it launched there.

My first games had me scared on edge the whole match and I've been the hiding immersed survivor since (when I play survivor)

Still here. We come and go.

I wasnt during the alpha But i started playing DBD back when the thiccker fog /killer animations were a bit more slower and insanely bigger maps where a thing on top of the unfair god buildings , probably when Freddy first came out.

Idk what they were thinking by making some maps insanely brighter like the current farm maps and so on , when they knew that people used to love the dark atmosphere that the game used to have outside of gameplay elements.

My first match was just me missing skillchecks like crazy and being soo scare at point where I literally was just hidding in bushes as a baby claudette against a guy playing OLD freddy 🤤.

Played since the console release of June 2017, and still play it just as much. The one game I will never give up

my first game was when my friend downed me and insta morid me with old freddy. Fear.

I've owned the game since the PD2 crossover, but never actually played it until about a year and a half ago lol.

I have been here since 2016 and the game has definitely changed a ton over time.

Sometimes I feel that having stuck with the game for so long has done more harm than good in terms of enjoyment.

I played during the beta. Put in lots of hours over the years even with many extended breaks from the game.

I still have my legacy, most OGs can’t say that after losing their save files.

2016 here, since the Asylum update. Still here, somehow.

First achievement.

Only reason I didn't have it earlier was because I didn't have enough money to buy the game at launch (14th June) 😭

I did participate in the beta, though. Anyone remember that 'Save Me' web browser thing where you had to send a link to three friends to 'unhook' you (give you a beta code)?

Why 2017 as the cutoff? What about 2018? If you started playing DBD before the cosmetic shop existed and when pallet vacuums were still a thing, I think you have a right to be considered an 'old school ' DBD vet.

I started playing right after Pig came out and remember old BNPs and old Shrine as well. (Perks in the Shrine costed 550 shards meaning you had to play a minimum of 55 games just to buy a teachable)

Been around since December 2016.

2018 here. Wasn't here from the start, but I think 5 years is enough to be considered a vet :)

Early 2018 but I am

Actually it came in late 2017 for console, I can attest since I started around December 2017 on Ps. If I remember correctly the nightmare had just come out and I bought the dlc for my first match. God I miss that 2017 winter theme

2017 Here and I play on and off.

Still regularely playing since Sep 2016.

I think it was 2019 where I had a 1 month break but that's the longest break I've had. But tbf, I was already addicted during that time. Now I play for enjoyment pretty much a few hours a day or every 2nd or 3rd day when I work. It used to be entire days every day and as soon as I had freetime.

So I've found the healthy middle ground now.

Its okay you are still here :)

I first started playing when I got the game for free on PS+, during the first Summer BBQ, back when Doctor had to switch between stances to shock and damage people. I ended up buying the game on steam during Curtain Call, which ended up being my primary account, which I've poured about 2K hours into, and I still play the game regularly. Try out every new chapter's PTB, very excited for the Alien chapter. Feels like it's been a really long time since we've gotten a killer this classic.
