End Game Chat.

Yeah, just be glad you don't see the endgame chat. Almost every interactive is someone just saying gg/gl nr or they have an essay on why you suck at this game because they lost. It's for the best and I'm glad they give PC players the option to hide end game chat. It's unnecessary to have one - it's not like they let you replay with the same people next match. So why would anyone care what they have to say?

I just don't see how viable it would be for console players unless they plugged in a keyboard as by the time they type something everybody has probably left

Some of us do have keyboards for other games. It's not that uncommon.

But the reality is likely that more people using chat = more reports and more moderation workload.

Meanwhile console chat can be policed by Sony/Microsoft themselves.

Most of us have keyboards that hook up to the PlayStation or console

I’m aware they don’t support keyboards on console..but this person had a desire for console users to be able to use endgame chat.

If that feature came to pass, which it never will and I don’t care if it does…console users, have the ability to put a keyboard in. It’s not hard.

I wish if they can do that but they won't, because if they wanted this to happen, they would have featured it since 2020 of the crossplay release date.

Xbox players are some of the most toxic players I've came across in DBD. I played on console for about 2 years before moving to PC about a year ago and regardless of how you play you get very abusive private messages from 80% of Xbox survivors. To the point it's borderline harassment and you need to turn off direct messages outside of friend list.

In contrast it's actually very rare that I get any abuse on PC these days. Happens occasionally and it's generally being called a camper or tunneler but most of the the people don't actually say anything or you get occasional GG.

Xbox players also like to excessively tbag at any opportunity even if they completely suck at the game. Yes tbaggin happens on all platforms, but Xbox players have a special love for it.

Having experienced what the Xbox playerbase is like I honestly don't think having any communication enabled directly from console is a good idea. It would honestly open up a whole new level of toxicity in end game chat that you really don't want to experience.

The amount of times my son has been told to kill himself because he won is pathetic and these people really need help with their anger issues.

Two people in my work have had to lay a child into a grave recently and no parent deserves that hurt and grief.

No parent wants to outlive their child/children and if that's a comment you make then shame on you.

Oh it's just in fun.

You say it's just in fun to my work mates one of whom has unopened Christmas presents bought for his son.

No, end game chat should be banned and trust me op you don't need it.

console overwatch and console Roblox both have chat functions so I know it could work in this game

Postgame chat is awful and you're not missing out. I often lets survs go and all that, I get some ggs, but most of it is toxic af. Funny enough, people are most toxic when they win or the match was close. When they get stomped it's just quiet.

As much as Id like post game chat to praise a good killer and tell survivors that are teabagging in the gates to grow up and leave, but most people would abuse it by being bitter, nasty and abusive. 8 out of 10 msgs I receive on PS5 are survivors having a pop at me despite never camping or trying to not tunnel, even when they escape 🤦‍♂️

There's many other features that console DBD needs that's a much higher priority imo.

M&K support, graphic settings, basic controller settings, 60fps, etc.

Why? So you can revel in the joys of the toxic end game chat cesspool while struggling to enter text at 1/4 the speed of someone with a keyboard?

Sounds like fun.

I see where you're coming from, but I feel like in the long term it would just be an avenue for more toxicity. If we don't have a keyboard hooked up, then we're going to spend forever typing out statements and responses.

They implemented console chat in Overwatch when they added crossplay, and, aside from "ggs", people only really used it to complain. The only message I remember that wasn't a "gg" is some dude in a Quickplay game who told us to "maybe touch grass" when we were winning.

I don't think us console players are missing much without End Game Chat.

As long it's optional like on PC i wouldn't mind.

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't know. I use the "keyboard" on my TV to log in to various streaming services so I assume you do not spend several minutes with a sentence using the controller only.

Not me I have the PlayStation app which I use my phone being synced to type messages, that only works for built in PlayStation to PlayStation chat though. A dbd version id ignore bc it will just prompt the virtual pop up via controller and I hate that, and im not going out of my way to hook up a keyboard to type in EGC, others might would and like that. Like if it was introduced I wouldn’t be mad, I can simply not use it.

It’s so strange isn’t it? How negativity is in greater magnitude than the positivity. Not just in quantity but in quality.

On the negative side you have insults galore.

On the positive side you have what? “gg”? Even when a really nice message or compliment is typed out it seems so under appreciated.

This is why I am in anonymous mode, because what’s the point in exposing your name to risk when there’s so much downside and hardly any benefit or no real camaraderie?

It's completely the opposite on Xbox. PC endgame chat is like a PG movie in comparison to some of the messages I used to get sent after matches on Xbox.

I'd really like to at least have the option of it. I often want to give props to a particularly helpful teammate, or a nice killer, but can't due to different platforms. I have a mini keyboard that attached to my controller, so it wouldn't take ages to type either.
