You've time traveled from 2024 to 2017-2019
You cross paths with another DBD player who is curious on the state of dbd in 2024. What is something you could tell them about the game that would cause them to stare at you with concern, confusion, or disbelief?
Example: "Survivors have flamethrowers, bro"

Terrified killer mains from 2017:

The game is still treated like a basement project: Bugs with every patch, BHVR focusing on money, and ONLY the money, and the community is still Us vs Them.

Wait until I tell them about Freddy…

“You know the games super buggy? Yeah that never changes.”

Tbf, people from 2017 wouldn't of been opposed to Freddy's rework. Most people were on the side that he needed one.
Of course we know better now, since it turned out to be sort of a disaster3 -
- Freddy has become the worst nerfed killer in this game's history.
- You can unhook without BT and not worry about farming your teammates.
- Haddonfield has become an incredibly killer sided map.
6 -
Not just the rework, the whole story. The nerf that followed and then over two years left to rot? It would be a shock.
If you told my 2018 self what would happen to Freddy they wouldn't believe it.

The Nemesis

I actually did take a break from 2020-2023. Basekit BT was the most shocking change to me coming back.
1 -
They buffed Pig

"Haddonfield is killer sided, and you no longer have to worry about being hit by 4 Decisive Strike's each game."

i'll look them dead in the face and tell them u can only press E twice.

"Watch me, how I move and dumbfound the killer around this simple tree and how I jump this windows. Its called looping. The killer will think that I am cheating and maybe DC or sulk in a corner, but don't worry. This will take over the game, so say goodbye to sneaking :)"

- The fog as you know it, is completely gone. (Disbelief)
- Nurse is still the best killer in the game & stronger than ever due to increased aura reading perks (Concern lol)
- Chucky (they will definitely want to know how in the hell he hooks survivors) [Confusion]
- Red Ranks removed in favor of SBMM (Concern & Confusion)
- 2 vs. 8 (Disbelief)

Freddy has become the worst nerfed killer in this game's history.
If we then hop on over to 2021 we will soon be able to also follow up with:
"Freddy is no longer the worst nerfed killer in this game's history." 😅
🪦💀Y

Bruh you can say that to your solo q teammates nowadays and they'd still be surprised at the new discovery
3 -
Freddy gets shot in the back and dies.
Michael Myers Is the only killer that doesnt get changes thorught the entire game's lifespan
Springtrap will be added at an indefinite time

Thats … sad, but you ain't wrong >__<

Enjoy it while it lasts because you are heading towards true misery you have never witnessed before.
1 -
Face camping is dead and basically all the big names are here except Jason, but a dark shadow wielding tools of torment threatens the balance of this community's sanity.

I wonder how shocked a player from 2017 would be if they were told Nurse's Calling fell out of the meta.
3 -
End game collapse and prestige system revamp are a couple things I haven't seen mentioned so far that were huge changes. But Chucky and Xenomorph as killers, Nicolas Cage as a survivor and 2v8 as a game mode are probably the things that would shock players the most. I remember when non-human or at least humanoid killers weren't supposed to ever be added. Also Chucky just seemed impossible to add to the game. How would the killer even see through all the foliage or over walls? How would Chucky hook survivors? Give credit to BHVR where it is due. They had perfect answers for both those questions. It seemed unlikely that we would ever get alternate game modes. That is something we've asked for forever. So to get alternate game modes at all is great and 2v8 in particular is shocking.

There are just so many alternatives these days. It's not terribly shocking that with 3 new perks coming for each killer added that new aura reading perks would come along. What is shocking to me though is that Nurse's Calling never really changed in all that time. So many perks been nerfed and buffed over the years but I don't recall any changes to Nurse's Calling. It's probably criminally underplayed now. It's still a really good perk and finding players when they are at their most vulnerable is worth the perk slot. I think I'll dust this perk off and load it up now that I think about it. Thanks for the suggestion.

”Beware of BHVR making the second worst designed killer in history in March 2023 behind OG Legion.”
1 -
"The 2018 Hallowed Blight event is a one-off that will never happen again, and the 2018 blighted cosmetics are the peak of their designs."
or maybe
"They took collision away from Spirit in phase and the BP bonus away from BBQ."
That's what I'd tell myself, anyway.
2 -
Now that I think about it, I definitely shouldn't tell myself about Freddy.
Because if the GeneralV from 2018 knew what would happen to Freddy, they wouldn't keep playing DBD. And if I didn't keep playing DBD, then I wouldn't be here to talk about this topic of time travel.
It would create a paradox.

If I ran into myself:
"Hey, you remember that game you tried and hated? It's still around. You end up absolutely loving, and occasionally hating, it."
2 -
- dbd is full of cheaters that are live streaming and it takes bhvr two weeks to review videos that are 20 seconds long showing flying survivors
- a ultra high ping massivly increase your chance of winning as killer
- sexuall harassment (humping) is not and offence
1 -
We had a killer that held people hostage until the server sacrificed them.
1 -
"Let me play Coldwind, I miss it."
2 -
Quit while you're ahead.

Haha, That would definitely send them all 3 at once, possibly even 5 stages of grief too lol. Like, "What? Freddy never recovers from the nerf? Nooooooooo"

Damn I can hear their response on this one even "No way bro, it isn't even a strong perk. Next you'll say they nerfed Adrenaline."

Lmao, that'd be evil to be like…"FNAF will be here, I just can't tell you when"
Now imagine the uproar every single teaser trailer from then until now with them knowing that…

I would have paradoxically created the uproar of 2021 lmao
1 -
The extraordinary amount of hate for certain characters who will not be named whether deserved or not.
1 -
I would tell them; winning as killer will be super easy and FNAF will join in 2025

😖😫😩

Technically they have a sort of flamers (when aganist alien) anyway... Slightly smaller maps but with more pallets (most of them unsafe, but the safe ones are God pallets and cannot be mindgamed), BT basekit feature for survivors and you can't camp due to anticamp mechanics added into the game, all gen regression perks butchered into oblivion, a lot of killers nerfed (some of them completely killed like Freddy, deathslinger and skull merchant, but at least the doctor will become a decent killer) and the MOST ANNOYING THING: we're gonna live forever and bbq lost their multiplier bonus for bloodpoints (incentivizing tunneling even more btw)... I could wrote an essay, but i'll stop here

The problem wasn't that they didn't check their email. It turned out the artist was dyslexic and mistyped their email in the application. It happens.
