What is a question you wish you knew the answer to when you were new to the game?
With the expected influx of new players soon coming to the game and the Beginners' Guide competition going on right now, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about some of the questions that new players have about the game - if you're a new player, questions you might still have, or if you've been playing for a while, questions you had back when you were new.
I'll start. When I was new, the biggest question mark for me was how skill checks worked. I started I think just after Nea's release, so no tutorials or anything, and my friends did a really bad job of explaining it. They were going, "Press spacebar when it's in the circle thing" and I was like, "But it's always in a circle???" Took me forever to figure it out with their "help".
So anyway, story time. What do you wish you had the answer to back when you were brand spanking new to DBD?

Took me a while to figure out "Exposed" doesn't mean the killer can see my aura.

Also Basic gameplay. I thought the best idea is to try and unhook myself. And I was like, #########, why can't I get off?

What the actual values of "Slightly, moderately, considerably" actually equate too...
Honestly still not always 100% sure and I'm well over 1400h at this point.

As survivor: I wish I knew I left a trail of scratch marks every time I ran (I think that new Nancy perk will be pretty good for new people)
As killer: Which perks fit best for which killer

I didn't know what "reveal the aura of x" meant until I used Object of Obsession when I got Laurie.

TEACHABLE PERKS!
I was such a noob and assumed it meant that character had learned the perk which meant you didn't need to equip it anymore, it became apart of their abilities. I started as Feng Min and once I unlocked Lithe I unequiped it and it took me days to work out I wasn't getting a speed boost anymore lol.

Didn't know I die faster if I try unhooking myself considering how slim it is to unhook.
I didn't know that the perks I unlocked can be put on other survivors and killers so I basically kept their teachable on them while running the non teachable too

I relate to almost every that that have already been said especially the exposed status affect.
One of the things that get me is not understanding how the killer powers work, One time i just stood there staring at a myer, unaware i was feeding him.

What those "bone statues" were. My first game ever I passed a glowing one and thought it looked neat. Didn't know it would lead to my ultimate death! Lol

Here’s one
that not every survivor is a #########. I played survivor for 8 months. Avoiding killer cause of the toxic stuff others say.

Also that slippery meat isn’t a top tier perk

it varies with each thing. Slightly on the addon "spark plug" means 12%, while Moderately on the addon "manna grass braid is 8%"

I learned that following the exact pathing of a survivor and breaking EVERY pallet immediately wasnt the best strategy.

This. This this this. Except, the other way around. I would hit them with the exposed effect, and couldn't figure out why I couldn't see their aura.

When I started around launch the looping mechanics of survivors broke my noon Billy brain. I had no idea that demon rushing a loop was going to end badly. I lost many chases just from bad movement. I still laugh at myself over those days.

Why are the survivors waiting at the gates doing squats?
