I HATE TTV PRIVILEGE!

I just had a Nurse who purposely left a TTV and his friend alone to only target me and then farmed for the rest of the match and let them do all of the gens and escape. The Sable on our team was already dead by 5 gens. It’s so annoying when people do this. Either farm with everybody or kill everybody. I’ve recorded the match and really want to report them but I just cba having to upload the video to YouTube and fill out the long arse contact form. I wish it was easier to actually punish the people who play like this. It’s bannable for a reason.

    I also don’t know why somebody was so quick to dislike this post when what happened to me falls under griefing which is bannable. Ya know what, let me send this video to support as we need less people like this in the game, especially during an event.

    It is only bannable if they were working together. Otherwise, if the Killer wants to let someone live, they can do so without any issue.

    And I dont really see how this is a TTV privilege. Do you KNOW that they let the TTV and their friend (were they playing together?) live because they are a TTV? There might be different reasons.

    Well I’d like some clarification from a moderator then because I don’t see how them purposely leaving the other two players alone, such as floating straight past them whilst they’re on generators to find me and only me, doesn’t come under griefing. Especially when after that the Nurse was showing the TTV where the hex totems were and watching them repair generators. This TTV was live and their friend was in their voice chat with them. I doubt it’s a coincidence that this Nurse wanted me and only me but magically let the Meg who just happened to be in a party chat with the TTV live.

    Almost every killer or survivor player checks to see if the TTV in their lobby is live. I also wasn’t doing anything snakish before people try to start that narrative. I was actively saving and healing people and trying to do generators which is hard when your team are constantly down / on hooks. It just made zero sense to actively seek me out to then stand and watch 2 people do 5 generators. It was clearly targeted.

    Okay, cool. But does that change the fact what the Nurse player did was annoying af? I’m almost certain if they weren’t a TTV, then she would have killed us all.

    Please dont bother the Mods or even the Support with that. It is not griefing either if they decide to kill you but not other Survivors.

    Maybe they felt bad for the TTV and the other Survivor because they were in a bad team? Considering that 5 Gens were still up when 2 people were dead.

    Because as @100PercentBPMain said, there is usually the opposite of a TTV Privilege. Either people dont care at all or they tunnel the TTVs, streamsnipe them etc…. But someone actually favoring a TTV is new to me.

    I was in a bad team. Not them. Which is why most of my match was spent getting people off hooks instead of being able to do generators. It’s a bit of a coincidence that the Nurse felt bad for the TTV and their friend who just both happened to be on mic together. It’s not like the Nurse player went into their stream to see they were live and playing together. You’re right that definitely didn’t happen. They just happened to feel sorry for the TTV and Meg for a reason unbeknownst to me. Thanks for clearing this up. 🤭

    I can see why this forum only has about 5 active posters because it really is a hive mind mentality here. I’m logging out and staying logged out. DBD really has one of the worst gaming communities.

    I never really thought about people getting different treatment because of ttv ... As a main surv I usually joke prechat about becoming famous through them before they find about I'm really bad at this game :p

    It's perfectly possible the players did something funny or cute that turned the match around for them. Killers can be charmed. The killer might have also perceived you as a rat or something. You don't know what was in their head, or what happened when you weren't looking. I often give people hatch if I think they got sandbagged or I feel bad for them in some way. Killer gets that choice.The report option says "working with the killer". If the killer simply decided on their own to let them go, you don't really have a case.

    I've done this two whole times, after I died, just to see what the tunneling Blight looked like.

    You have exactly 0 idea why the Nurse player let them live. Same as me btw. Yet you jump to the strange conclusion that it is because they were a TTV and someone playing with a TTV. While the usual tone is the complete opposite, TTVs are not really liked in DBD.

    And well, if we are honest, you are just salty and jumped to the Forums to complain because you died and someone else got to escape (for reasons which neither you nor I know for sure). Would you have opened this Thread if the TTV and their friend would have been tunneled out and you and the other Survivor would have been allowed to escape? Probably not, because then it would not be griefing or anything, then it would be fine and you would not spend a second thought about it.

    I duo with a ttv sometimes, and i’ve seen both scenarios. It feels bad then they get focused out and the killer tries to farm with me, and it feels bad when the opposite happens. One of use usually gets forced to watch the other and neither of us enjoy that. I personally despise farming matches. I would rather get tunneled out at 5 gens.

    having said that there is nothing you can do about it beyond moving on and forgetting it, it is not an actionable offence.

    If it happens all the time you can just put ttv in your name. allot of ttvs are fake.
