We have temporarily disabled Firecrackers and the Flashbang Perk due to a bug which could cause the Killer's game to crash. These will be re-enabled in an upcoming patch when the issue is resolved.

The whiniest forum I've ever seen

I joined the forum over a year ago to talk about new content, changes and bugs etc. It was nice to come back every now and then and read a few discussions and possibly participate in them as well. The 'us vs them' mentality did exist even back then but most people talked about things calmly and it felt like there was at least some understanding between the players.

Well jump back to this day and what do we have? People complaining about literally every change, bug and decision. People being attacked for having certain opinions. People saying the devs don't care about the players and all that kind of stuff.

I'm tired. I really am. I used to enjoy reading the forums but nowadays, it's just a huge ball of negativity.

I'm just asking everyone to think about things from different perspectives before posting negatively about something.

    So far all I've seen on the forum for the past week is people whining about nerfs or challenges, even the cosmetics.

    Instead of being excited for a new chapter or for the game being healed from the state it was in, it's really saddening seeing how people can complain about anything. Usually the thing that ruins forums like these.

    Are you certain you were on the DBD forum back then?

    A forum post I can agree with.

    What I regret the most is the escalation of sarcasm. And the creation of a pile of identical topics because everyone feels that his opinion deserves a new topic... It becomes really painful.

    Irony is overperforming

    but for real op is not helping the problem at all by making a thread to complain about the constant threads complaining about things LOL.

    You should check out the Steam forums for Dead by Daylight. You've not seen ANYTHING yet.

    I only half agree with you there.

    The thing about Battle Passes is that it can be psychologically damaging to someone with addictive behaviours. And that's one of the reasons why many people oppose it. I am not someone with an addictive behaviour perse, but I do often times realize how much time I spent on DBD just from playing the game.

    I visit the forums almost daily. I'm not saying complaining didn't outright exist a year ago but there definitely was way less of it. Right now the front page is nothing BUT complaining. Criticism is fine of course, but speaking of things in a negative manner is different.

    Edit: Might've misunderstood the sentence but my point still stands. I used to visit the forums of League of Legends a lot and even that wasn't in such a bad state as this forum.

    Welcome to the club, my friend, I couldn't agree more. Not a single day can go by without at least a dozen negative threads being posted, most of which in my honest opinion, are overly nitpicky about every tiny little detail of the game, even things that don't even matter. I have been on some forums in my time, and before coming here, I was on the F13 game forum. I thought that was a negative place, but it doesn't even begin to compare to the negativity of this forum. It's why I don't post very often, unless it's something that I'm legitimately interested in.

    Unlike the negative nancys that flood the forums on a daily basis with these unnecessary, and frankly, whiny, threads...I have better things to be doing with my time. Sad that's how they seem to spend their day, day after day. Of all the legitimate things to be worried about in life, why must a video game be number 1 on the list? 😕

    This post does EXACTLY what it complains about. Isn't that the definition of hypocrisy?

  • TheShape78
    TheShape78 Member Posts: 712

    ...Except, this complaint is valid. That's the difference.

    So what do you expect there to be on the forums? They're generally used for complaints or general discussion. That's...basically every forum ever. If you want fun and wacky go to reddit and read memes all day.

    Muh quality forum discussion where. You don't even talk about what you'd like to see or anything like that, you're whining the same as everyone else, ironically.

  • SpaceCoconut
    SpaceCoconut Member Posts: 1,962

    It's validity is dependent on one's own opinion.

    To me, the complaint is just as valid as EVERY other complaint that currently exists on the forums.

    Which also means that it's hypocritical.

    Actually, just last game, I was looking at a Ghostface in the middle of nowhere and he didn't get revealed.

    This happens to me every... time. It's really aggravating but don't worry, I already have an idea to fix him and I'll be posting that soon. 😁

    "ThE iRoNy Of ThIs PoSt!!"


    no, calling out the fellow forum members for their obnoxious whining is not quite the same as whining about petty little changes and decisions by the devs.


    people on here take every little complaint to a whole new level, some making thread after thread after thread to repeat their tired aimless complaints ad neaseum...


    OP is merely pointing that out. and those who are trying point out the "irony" of such are simply advocating for more of the obnoxious whining and trying to be condescending at the same time.

    How is he whining? He's saying that people need to stop bitching about every little thing; far from whining.

    If you don't whin, devs will do nothing.

    Look at solo buff and weaker killer buff, people asks devs nicely and in civilized way to buff them, but nothing is done by devs

    Look at nurse and spirit, or instaheal and initial MoM, they proved that enough whining can force devs to do things. It's called "feedback"

    Not that i approve these whining though, but sadly it's true

    There you'll find FINE wHine. And for good reason.

    So you make a post in which you cry about complaints.

    Do you mind me asking what you do here if everything is so negative and all people just cry?

  • BearWolf_51
    BearWolf_51 Member Posts: 87

    There's people complaining

    And there's this post complaining about people who complain

    Now there's people complaining about this post complaining about people who complain

    And now there're people complaining about people who complain about this post complaining about people who complain

    And there's me.

    The end.

    The latest game, WWE 2K20, is the buggiest game I have EVER seen. It's absolutely shocking.

    And you tried to improve all the negative posts by making a negative post about the negative posts?

    There's a difference between being negative and being critical.

    That's what you get when you give killer mains a platform to whine on. :)

  • gibblywibblywoo
    gibblywibblywoo Member Posts: 3,772

    its why i took a long break from here. That and the name/post count circlejerking that took place over the first few months. As is the case with all non-anon forums



    The worst part is the relentless screeching balance/nerf/buff threads that are clearly written from the POV of a player with a surv/killer bias and cant possibly look at things objectively

  • Shraar
    Shraar Member Posts: 219

    ah welll i wouldnt call that whining, whining is like nitpicking and moaning over subjective tastes

    if something is legitamately buggy people should complain (or better yet not buy the same game full price each year like suckers lol, looking at you literally any sports or cod game)

    I am glad I am not the only one that thinks this is a super whiney forum. People complain about literally everything on here.

    You don't visit enough online forums, if you truly believe this is the worst in that regard. Like, this is nothing.
