This is not a game

This is not a game, because games are supposed to be fun. This is a simulator... a HARRASMENT simulator. I do no need to explain why. You all know deep down what I am talking about...

I have one question. Do you think this game is fun? Do you honestly believe this "game" brings enjoyment? If you do, tell us why. Maybe I am missing something.

    You do not understand. There is harassment in-game. Not just that, it is ENCOURAGED harassment, but people do not recognize it yet.

    Just gotta learn to ignore the chat. Yeah, it can be a bit frustrating at first especially if you're just starting out, but once you get past all of that, the game is really enjoyable. If it is a big problem, you can disable the chat and just move onto the next game. I promise you though, not all the games you run into are going to be as bad as the last. :)

    Trust me, you get good at playing a game, and someone insulting you or trying to make you have a bad time is super funny. Just demolish and destroy them and laugh at them for being so pathetic.

    I already took a 2 week break because of a toxicity streak I endured and I come back to more of it. I am going to take another, longer break this time, but I doubt the game and the extreme part of the community will be less toxic, and come back with nothing changed.

    You're spot on. I play on console and by luck I started with killer. Every 2 or 3 games I thought the name should have been Bully Simulator 2019. People have their own definition of what toxic is but when you're starting out, everything that is disrespectful to the other side outside of actual gameplay is toxic. I even had to turn of my message settings specifically for this game on console because it wasn't enough for survivors to beat you. They love to go the extra mile and out of their way to taunt and ridicule. Then you add all the 2nd chance crutch perks in and they think they're God or an agent of The Entity. That first week cemented my reason to never ever play survivor because I didn't want to associate with that #########. Now when I encounter in game toxicity I'll go out of my way to tunnel, camp, and beat people like pinatas on the hook. I don't even care if I throw the game away because it's cathartic to me. And if I end up getting consecutive games of toxic survivors, which is often, then everyone after that for the rest of the day is dealing with a toxic killer because I will take no chances.

    Any game that is online is full of dicks. If it bothers you that much just take people's names and dodge them when you see them again.

    I don't know if you can block people on the PC. I play on Xbox where you used to be able to block people where you rarely played with/against those people again. My list would be so huge it would be a phone book or a word document where most of my time in the prematch lobby would consist of Ctrl+F+ insert toxic name here. 🤣

    @DBD_Pinhead I'm on ps4 and xbox, it's the same for me XD I would genuinely like to know if I am on other people's lists 😂

    Taking a break is good advice, it's done me wonders every time I've walked away from it and come back refreshed.

    I'm coming back again slowly with the knowledge that no matter what I play, we will never be rid of the loud and obnoxious ones who deflect their every inadequacy and failings onto others. Now I just need to learn to rise above it while maintaining my sanity.

    Interesting i would talk about Sanity but main the Doctor....

    I take breaks too but every time I come back it's the same stupid things. Sometimes I wonder why I keep coming back to the game just to be bullied over and over again. I had 2 games where 3 survivors escaped with a key and then called me bad even though I had a 3 gen lock down and they have MoM + DS and other crutch perks, most of the time it's Adrenaline. 1 survivor was on death hook that I was chasing. They all ran to the hatch (obviously had mics) and escaped and because I can't grab no one FROM THE HATCH FOR SOME STUPID REASON! they all got out because I did not see someone had a key and was standing at hatch when i was going to a gen to break it. I could have at least grabbed Dwight at the end for my 2nd kill.

    In that situation I SHOULD be allowed to grab a survivor and close the hatch while holding them I think it's completely stupid to just let them go because I couldn't close the hatch when someone is jumping into it. I don't even think I can grab survivors on doors now, did we really stoop to this level? That's not balanced, that's favoritism. Where is that MoM nerf, that perk is way too strong it's basically and un-nerfed DS?

    If you're looking for a balanced game, this isn't it. There are going to be games that just aren't possible to win right from the start, especially if you don't use Ruin. As for harassment, see the humor in it. The SWF groups are playing the easiest possible version of the game and acting like they just won the Olympics. Don't sweat it.

    There are trials where the killer is trolled as much as Jason was trolled in F13. SWF don’t care about objectives, they simply want to be annoying.

  • Rescultir

    I try but after a while it just gets annoying and worse, the games I have been playing the survivors still blow through ruin like it's nothing. In 1 game it took them 1 min to do a gen and every other game where I have went to a gen it's almost done... Maybe it's me? But why is it not like that when I play solo games as survivor and always get potatoes I do not understand.
