DBD - A Halloween Story

I just want to talk about the cutest thing that I probably ever experienced in the game.

A couple of days ago I had a streak of REALLY tough games, it was basically SWF death squad into SWF seal team 6 into SWF bully squad into SWF death squad again and I was feeling really unhinged.

The next game MMR fluked completely or threw me a bone, I don't know, but the survivors were no prepared for all the pent up rage and anger that I had bottled up over the course of the last couple games and it unleashed in the most brutal and uncompromissing playstyle - it didn't help that they were uncoordinated AF and hook traded in the most unsafe conditions, but I also hit the most unreal, blind shots with Pyramid Head through all the walls.

I then realised that I had 8 hooks at 5 gens remaining, because no one had any time doing gens, running for their dear live.

I felt a bit disgusted by myself, but concluded that this game was done and found the games Meg in a corner, apparently giving up. When I downed her, she was standing in a peculiar way, and when I picked her up, I was staring directly at the Tanuiki statue - she had brought me there and basically gifted it to me. My tears weren't exactly welling up with tears, my killer heart is too unmoving for that, but I felt a little funny inside, not gonna lie.

So I let her wriggle out and the other survivors caught up to what was going on, and they all slowly did their gens, while collecting all the items on the map.

I think they tried to make a heart or something, but couldn't complete it for lack of items <3 Still, that was so very sweat and we had lots of fun memeing around and doing stupid stuff.

In the end everyone got quiete the phat BP paycheck - ,aybe killing them all and queueing up fast would have yielded a better BP per hour rate, but awwwww, this was such a sweet game.

I just wanted to share this between all the stories of bad games, griefers, DCs, bleedouts and bullies. Sometimes it pays off to show some kindness, even in the face of overwhelming evil. You never knew what heart you might melt.

    This is so wholesome and honestly so very welcome among so much discourse and negativity :')

    Thank you! And yes, it was. Honestly that game took a lot of the vitriol out of me and I tried to be more forgiving and all around cool afterwards. Sure, a lot of survivors were trying to get under my skin, but in the end most only tried to get my attention so that their team could maybe finish another gen.

    With all the head to head fights we sometimes lose sight of the person behind the game avatar, and both sides could win a lot by being a bit more understanding of the other sides plight.

    What a wholesome story! Those are rare around here.

    And I hope to play against this Meg because I still haven't found this damn tanuki.

    I sadly didn't screencap the Tanuki found scene, because I was a bit awestruck at the moment, but the little rascal will forever be etched into my mind as the guardian spirit of friendship. Good luck finding the little one ^_^

    You sir, you just showed everyone how wholesome the community can be if we put aside all competitive mindsets and just have fun.

    Last evening, I had one horrible session after another (as survivor), with hard-tunneler after hard-tunneler, so I switched to killer, and demolished a few teams, before going back to my more laid back style of play, where I gave everyone the opportunity to just have fun.

    Thanks friend, maybe I will send myself to Yamaoka tonight to see if I can find it.

    It tends to spawn somewhere around the edge-map, so look out for any weird looking objects. You know it when you see it though.

    We need more threads like this. I kind of think BHVR should find a way to promote these things.

    Yesterday I took a page from the most heart-warming DBD interaction I ever had in the past and got my survivors to do the circus activities with me on the clown's map.

    Some time ago, before this, a poor scared Yun-Jin etched a place out in my heart by giving up in chase and slow-walking into corner in a circus tent, with the avatar holding onto its flashlight shaking scared. I didn't know injured avatars shook like that before then. I couldn't hook a survivor like that, so I crouched next to Yun-Jin as Pig and slowly made friends. The last two survivors obliviously did all the gens while Yun-Jin and Pig had a day at the circus. And when the gates got powered, I ran to the gate and opened it like a gentlepig. That specific unusual Yun-Jin skin is a guaranteed survival against me now.

    Edit: spelling

    It's rare to see positivity on these forums, but it's an appreciated sight.
