You guys having fun?
Title.
I want to know everyone's thoughts. Who plays swf only? Who's mostly solo/swf/survivor/killer mains?
I know solo q probably has the least fun. I want to know why. Let's open a dialog to see what the common issues people have. :)

Im generally havin a good time, mostly play killer but I play SoloQ as well (bout a 70/30 nowadays)
If ever I get a few bad games in a row (doesnt necessarily mean losses, rather me playing poorly, bad rng, people Im playin with just being unpleasant, etc) then I just log off and play something else.
Things like this happen with every game, it aint exclusive to DbD and hell, aint even exclusive to gaming. Some times the things you like doing most just dont end up working out for you that day, and theres no point in trying to force it. Just settle down, find something else and come back to it later :)

Meaning?

Nope, at this point I just want to finish rift and move on to other game.
BTW this challenges aren't it.
especially this one:

Lol yeah. Devs think we escape trials. XD

I guess I'm having fun. I just need to not face unbeatable teams as killer, and get decent teammates as survivor. Tonight, I got my wish.

Playing soloq. A bit frustrated with all the server crashes of late. But I understand a lot of stuff is being worked on. I try to be forgiving of my teammates because not everyone has the experience in the game to handle some killers and situations. Everybody has to learn somewhere.

Killer main here in loving the game but I also don't have to go through solo q hell

I thoroughly enjoy killer. I dont play to win I play to jump scare and pull off weird and funny things. A benefit of killer is that they have more power over the mood of the match than survivors so I can do that still.
As survivorβ¦I hate it. I hate this game as survivor so much. Its not the gameplay either, like the mechanics are fine. Its the players I am paired with that make it the most miserable experience possible. The MMR in this game is so bad, the survivors i get paired with barely have a brain. I genuinely had a streamer in my lobby one time who did not know what a generator looked like. My MMR is NOT that low. I survive enough to where its pretty decent. Survivors are a blast they're so prone to goofing off and being chill. I don't even mind the bully squads because it usually results in me getting a 4k at 5 gens. The survivors I hate are the comp kids that play strictly for tournaments. But killers play like their next meal depends on slugging for the 4k.
The people who play killer are the real source of my frustration though. They always argue that tunneling and slugging is a valid strategy to win and I'm not entitled to survive. Like yeah, you're right, but why do you feel entitled to my suffering? Why cant you play in a manner that allows everyone to enjoy the game. But then its "well survivors bully or survivors are swf". Most survivors who are swf aren't pro-gamers. Usually just people who are friends wanting to play with friends. Hell most swf you don't even know are swf cuz they're not that great. If i can win virtually every game without tunneling, camping, or slugging, why can't you? IDC about losing, I care about having fun and that aint it.
The ONLY reason I even touch survivor anymore is to play with my friends (the ones who still play), and get the survivor challenges done. But the survivor challenges are so awful it just increases the frustration.
TLTR: This game used to be a blast until the hyper-competitiveness took over like a malignant cancer. I miss the days when total domination wasn't a prerequisite for fun in video games

Yes, mostly. I try to force myself to stop playing when I complete the current rift until the next page unlocks. Iβve stopped doing older archives and instead play to have fun now. Sometimes the game is unfair. Sometimes I play bad. But I still overall have fun.
Playing on commβs ruins the appeal of DBD to me. Iβve been considering looking into seeing if silent drop-in SWFs exist. All of my hours comes from playing in solo queue.

I mostly play killer, and i have fun because i play friendly.
But as survivor ut's misserable to be tunneled, camped, and slugged every game. There's like maybe 1-2 games out of 20 where I can have a normal match...

Yeah, what's that supposed to mean?
On topic, I've been having alright games. It depends on the hour for me, but when I play soloq it's pretty good. I don't have as much people dcing on me when I play.
SWF is more of a mixed bag for me at times because of the range of MMR levels, but otherwise games are alright in general. - just gotta find fun ways to keep the game from practically burning you out and just taking necessary breaks when needed.

Does the challenge work with Borrowed Time?
I usually run Deja Vu to prevent three gens, an exhaustion perk of my choice, and two random assortment of perks to help reach the end and escape trials.
If you find yourself tunneled out or focused on, you can bring an anti-tunneling perk as a third. I try not to have too much anti-tunneling or too much of the same type of category (healing, gen, anti-tunneling, chase) and try to make a more diverse build.
I think for my last game I've played recently, I played with Kindred, Open-Handed, Deja Vu, and Sprint Burst on my Ace which is nice. It's information and very good for soloq or even a small SWF group.
For the healing others challenge, it'd be good to run Bond or Empathy on Jane to find people to heal, but best of luck to your challenges. π«‘

Because we do escape trials lol I been doing fine even with useless solo team mates that DC and try to go next
-2 -
I play 50/50 surv and killer. Usually I have fun but is really annoying to play killer vs a communicated team of 4. Behavior really need to add another type of game in which you play soloQ, more competitive.
And always is the PC players, that people canβt play solo, always in team, trying to be toxic, really tired of these people.

They have made 3 similar posts that have answers to what they are asking in the last week.
Account was just made to farm. Not a genuine post.2 -
nope gen speed too fast and the gen kick limit alone ruins any gen regression
-1 -
I'm a 100% BP main so I have no allegiances
I'll play solo if I feel like playing survivor, and SWF when the dbd friends list rats me out.
There's an ebb and flow to it all. Some events, like Halloween had me spamming Wolf Only Dracula, and the anniversary had me just ignoring how rich everybody was by spamming Weave Franklins. Then there's events like Light's Out and My Little Oni which caught my interest more for survivor.
Right now I'm only SWFing because I'm not playing on my own. I've been taking a Lil break, but now I definitely am with Kaneki on the way.

For me the excitement died a month ago. I used to play daily and somehow I have 6 hours played in 30 days now. Itβs something about the updates. The killer nerfs are annoying and broke my will to keep playing. Mainly Chucky and Xenomorph.

I play about 50/50 survivor (solo q) and killer. Survivor side is fun if teammates know what they are doing, but the problem is the non-functional matchmaking. Iβll escape several times in a row and then get matched with someone who has less than 100 hours in the game. Just complete random matchmaking.
On the killer side, itβs usually fun unless Iβm going against a coordinated SWF who cranks out the gens in like 5 minutes or I get sent to a busted map like Eyrie or Badham. In those matches thereβs usually no way to secure a kill without playing super scummy.
Overall, I guess I still enjoy the game quite a lot because I play it far more than any other game.

1. Because bhvr is into making money, all the new Killers are ridiculously OP, and therefore super torture to face solo Q
2. Solo Q teams are generally the most novice players, so you can't even count on maybe having a semi decent team, and we have no way to comms not even a quick chat, ehich MOBILE has!!!
3. BHVR has never EVER listened to the community without at least a year gap before fixing issues
4. I bring this up every chance I get, Leatherface STILL can hook camp just as hard as release day, even with the anti-camp features they put in, if this isn't a sign of what's wrong with this game idk what is!!!
5. The people who stream this game are sadistic Aholes, always have been always will be
EDIT
6. Matchmaking makes it at least an hour in playing before you can get a match that isn't a MLG pro / streamer so the first hour or maybe even two is just Fing miserable. I've taken to throwing like 5 matches to lower my mmr THEN trying to play, sounds bad but it really cuts down the time to getting into an actually fun match

Ah, okay - thanks for letting me know. π Maybe my answer will still apply to others. π

Lol maybe you do. I'm just not as lucky. I wouldn't say I'm bad. I can loop decently, and play the bigger jungle gyms okay. So mediocre to average ish....
But I die most matches, most days I jump in. Alot has to do with the start of the game. I find myself wondering why after 2 minutes zero gens have popped lol.
That and how fast teammates drop. Often I see two drop in the first minute or so within the first 15 seconds of a chance. Sometimes including me.
The beginning of a match sets the tone. Those first several minutes are crucial. If no gens are done in the first few minutes, and the killer already has 2 or 3 hooks it becomes harder bc you know the 3v1 is likely early game.
I get alot of that when I play solo. I've started using good solo perks to compensate but I still have more fun using killer engaging more.

No I made this account to engage and meet people. I ask questions that I think will be engaging so I can start a conversation and get to know some members and how others feel.
Nothing about me here is for devious or trolling intentions.
If I ask a similar question it's by accident. I'm not on here everyday, and I can be a forgetful person XD

Yeah, I too always hated those challenges that require you to escape, or even make it into the end-game.
They are doable, but they are often limited by the luck of the draw, especially the safe unhook during the end-game collapse.2 -
I've been solo since 2017, I'd join those old tournaments and SWF perk runs when asked, but I don't willingly seek out squads. I just play. How I feel about Solo is that where it should've broken me, turned me into just wanting to constantly improve myself to do better and whatever happens happens, I could only do so much. It really saves my sanity when I know it is what it is and keeps me chill and not popping a blood vessel. Solo is undoubtedly hell, though. The biggest issue I consistently have with Solo is that it's a mixed bag of horrors, you don't know how much worse it can get until it does.

ooverall yeah. killer pretty fun and survivors as long as u in bare minimum 2stack. The vast majority of the events/game modes are fun as well. The only issue is solo q trash
1 -
Honestly I'm having quite a bit of fun playing killer and trying out new builds, although some of the Rift challenges are kind of a pain to complete. ESPECIALLY the ones during the endgame.

Vibing in swf with the other members of the society of swine is obviously the best.
Other than that, I'd say that I got to like 60/40 killer / solo survivor ratio at this point.
Soloq can be fun if your lucky. Sadly I'm often not that blessed and am not the best survivor myself.
When it starts to be frustrating, I switch to killer, as this is usually more chill to me. (As I have a TON more experience on killer and I don't take winning (3k+) that seriously)
Pig, Sadako and the occasional Nemmy - match are always a good time.

Unless with my swf absolutely not. I only play on Saturdays or Sundays ( to keep my stream on x amount of days up ) else am mostly streaming or playing other kinds of games
Tired of people in solo q who just can't get even basic concepts, like why are we getting gen grab still by a ghosty, why am I being chased for 2 to 3 mins but gens aren't flying. Why if I go down after getting like a 2 to 3 gens all of a sudden the last 2 gens now can't seem to be finished?

I'm almost completely a killer main.
I'm having fun so far, nothing to really complain about too much.

I play 2 games of Killer, get bored and switch to Survivor then get tunnelled or slugged. This game is really stale atm. I also hate that they're adding new mobility-style killers and Surv has no new mechs since the game was created xd just a big phat bore.

^ great advice I second this. Itβs amazing how much better things can go just by diversifying your build, or using perks that would go well with the challenges.
