Best Memories From When You Started Playing?
Title.
I started playing a bit before the Legion patch. While the game was a very different place back then, I do miss the 'vibe' maps had, as they felt a lot darker and grittier.
Now granted I played a lot of survivor back then and it was hilariously silly, but WGLF was a BP machine if you could get it going but it also resulted in a LOT of survivors competing for the unhook and without baseline BT…do the math. This actually resulted in me playing killer more as I was so irritated at constantly getting farmed.

Well, my fellow 2018 DBD player, my best memories from when I started playing are, naturally, Freddy.
Nothing in DBD was as fun as playing Old Freddy, and nothing will ever come close. He was my killer, my reason for playing. I loved that character, and I still love him.

My first match against a tombstone Myers.
Seeing him mori my friend was unexpected and hilarious. I didn't know he was able to do that back then.
Otherwise? Falling in love with Piggy of course! ❤️🐽❤️

Quite a few but I think one of the most humourous was when I got my Evil Incarnate achievement because the Survivors I was facing kept teabagging me and quite often in a group.

I won by downing everyone with M1 as Hillbilly because they would dodge every time I tried to chainsaw. Got a hate message after, saying, "Man, you're just a M1 Billy." Like that's some kind of knock against my skill or something. Super funny.

Our characters' heads would tilt, and it's like, "Aw crap. Run."

EXACTLY!
Or, if you were bold, "…maybe I have time to finish this gen". That is when the Block add-ons were useful.
Ah, I miss him so, so much. What I wouldn't do to get my killer back.

My first match ever with my beloved Piggly Wiggly was on old old Haddonfield. Barely knew what I was doing, repeatedly got spun, and ended up with maybe two hooks. They took my gens, they took my totems, they took my wallet and my left shoe! I still very clearly remember them all up on one of the overhangs crouched and slowly bobbing their heads.
I've never been a particularly good killer, but I know I've come a long way since those days.

I think I started with Wraith, then promptly resolved to never do that again. Huntress was a lot of fun but I was bad. I think I bought Hag for Ruin and Devour - and holy crap I loved her. I'm more of a macro/tactical player and I think I mained her on and off for the entire time I played DbD.
Only killer that I enjoyed more was Skull Merchant and we all know how that ended.

That reminds me, I think my favourite aspect of old freddy when I was a new player was how authentic it was when you were awake and you'd see survivors hover into the air and seemingly slap themselves onto hooks. Def one of the most iconic Freddy details that's no longer really a thing
Then again there was also times where you'd spawn in, hear the lullaby then immediately people start DCing on the spot.
Fun times.

I very much miss the vibe of the dark maps too, I think they ruined a lot of the horror aesthetic by making maps daytime. My fondest memories are on old Coldwind, where I was absolutely terrified of killers and would run OG Spine Chill so I knew when the killer was looking my way and I could pre-hide from them lmao.
No0b3 and Monto were my favs and I even watched TrU3 back then, I was amazed how players like No0b3 were so confident around killers and all I wanted to do was to learn to 360 killers.
I miss the aesthetic of old Coldwind in particular, the golden night skies had such a vibe and I feel they completely destroyed that with the new maps which I no longer like at all.
I miss old DBD, I think they improved a lot (obviously) and it is far more polished and refined… but old DBD had way more character

I loved the vibe but the dark maps…the problem was how much the incentivized hiding forever. Holy crap were Claudettes a pain on the old Game, for instance. Unless you used another program to pump up the brightness to absurd (and ugly) levels, they could be legitimately invisible.

My best memories from when I first played Dbd are centered around how the game initially made me feel. When I first started playing I remembered feeling like I was actually in a scary movie. I loved how the different combinations of Killers, Survivors, skins, and stages made each trial feel like its own unique story.
Here on the cusp of 2025, not only do I still feel the same way but the feeling has actually become much stronger.

Our mostly revolve around kyfs and the shenanigans we would pull on each other and friends. From instant full heals to use each other as a shield to moris on the offender to effectively playing mine sweeper with doc and jump scare Freddy.

I think that's what I've lost in a way. Now all I see are ones and zeroes essentially - many thousands of hours in and I know the game pretty well. There are no more surprises. Oh, I can always improve and get better at looping/counter-looping, aiming etc. but that's all muscle memory stuff. I can tell when someone is better than me or when they're easy to loop/catch. I can generally guess after the first 5 minutes of a match what the outcome is likely to be.

Started playing in 2016, vaguely remember thinking Dwight's running cycle looked like he did a number 2 in his pants. Almost folded over laughing.
