Game feels bad for new players

GoodLookinCookin

I've been a long time fan of the game and started playing years ago so im not experiencing the game now at lower ranks, but I have been getting my friends into the game and even though we do have fun, it happens often where the game seems unfinished or unfair to them, laughing and calling the game trash is one thing, but when it happens for the 100th time it gets old.

Just feels like the game is full of sweaty players and such which only care about balance at high ranks.

Fingers crossed for this next year of updates, maybe the game will be more fun less sweat

Getting friends to play with you in DBD is one of the biggest achievements. It's even better if they decide to stay.

What rank are you ?

i started playing with my friends at rank 20, but i played the most so i got to rank 1 eventually and they are like 4,9,16,17,18 ranks

I've had this problem before where I am red rank and my friends just started playing or green ranks, they were not happy to get a red rank killer due to me being a rank 1.

Suffering from Success pretty much.

Can't really do anything about it, you can perhaps convince some your friends to play the game enough so they reach purple / red ranks so they can play with you.

You can always look for more people to play with you with the same skill. It might be awkward at first but trust me, there are people out there feeling lonely as well, and once you've played with them once or twice, they'll be looking forward to play with you next time as well, just because they have someone to talk with.

If the content creator you like, has a discord server, you might find people there to play with as well. Or, you can always come in the Forums and I think there's a section to look for people to play with. There's also the good ol' reliable steam discussions or steam groups. Just a couple of examples or so to help you out.

All it takes is the will to do it

Thanks bro, I'll probably wait for mmr or something instead, my friends like dbd but not enough to keep coming back to it right now.

You pretty much NEED certain perks in order to do well at this game. All of which take a buttload of time to get to teachable point for all Survivors and Killers, some of which stuck behind a pay wall or mostly unobtainable till they become purchasable once in a blue moon via bloodpoints

The grind makes it harder for new players to get into dbd. It punishes them and rewards the dinosaurs who enjoy nothing better than stomping all over their new potential player base to the detriment of the health, well being and future of their -own- game.

Sad but true.

The pay wall is another thing, back when the game had 1 or 2 dlcs it was fine but with over half of the game being dlc, its a tad bit ridiculous. If the game didnt have the strong competitive nature and meta it wouldn't be such a problem. One of my friends didnt even know about buying the killers or survivors in game with iri shards until he was like level 40 too.

I meet a lot of new people in the game, it's probably the worst experience for them, as it is for me.🤣

Rankings don't mean anything though.

I agree on that ranks really dont matter, I hit rank 1 survivor not too long ago and still get stomped, really dont feel like I should be rank 1 :/

KillScreen

If a survivor don't know how to loop or how the killer power works... then yeh, they should loose.

And yeh... new player experience its really really bad.

Bless this man for speaking the truth. People like to overhype how difficult DBD is for some reason but it isn’t, really. You just need to memorise a lot of stuff but it’s not that hard to be good at it.

I love how he gets some wins, some losses and some draws and seems fairly content with it and happy to make good plays. The DBD community should take notes.
