My counter is why should survivor be "fun," but killer be "challenging"? Why can't both be fun? The primary problem with this game is people take it too seriously. Even post-patch (which might have been killer sided but was that a bad thing? I don't think so), I escape around 60% of the time. Close to 2 out of every three matches. It might be even higher if my teammates stopped letting themselves die on the first hook. And to be clear, I do not play even near perfect. I suck at looping. If a killer finds me, they will down me pretty quickly. Even so, I play with no stress and a decent escape percentage. I don't know why so many seek to deny the same for killers.

in Should Killers Have To Play a Near Perfect Game to Get a 4K? Comment by DbDCasual July 30, 2022

So you're saying to be good at killer all someone has to do is play this game 8-12 hours a day, 5-7 days a week, for 6 years? That's it? If people only knew!

in Why is there a skill issue with so many killers? Comment by DbDCasual July 30, 2022

It's a mix of actually DCing and just straight up dying on the hook. Shooting through stage 1 and then just dying in the final stage before anyone can save them. I do not doubt that the majority of them are absolutely malicious.

in Survivor DCs... Comment by DbDCasual July 30, 2022

All I know is that when it was awful to play killer, they were told to "git gud" and to suck it up. Now it's all about "Oh, gotta keep player fun factor in mind!" Just admit you don't care about other people's experiences and just want to feel good by stomping people and being toxic in the endgame.

in Devs don't be fooled Comment by DbDCasual July 25, 2022

Doing gens is extremely boring. I think most of the mechanics in this game are boring(it amounts to either sitting in one place holding a button or running around in circles). The changes they made are nice all around, but I'd like to see some more goal-driven mechanics in the game.

Just waiting or midnight to be able to play. This may be the first game to come around that might actually cut into the DbD playerbase. Between this and the Ghostbusters game coming out later this year might we see DbD fall as king of the asymmetrical horror mountain?

in Any going to buy the Evil Dead game? Comment by DbDCasual May 13, 2022

Personally I'd like to see hex perks buffed instead of boon perks nerfed. Balance by bringing powers up instead of others down.

I don't think he is. I think BHVR is flat out lying and just doing whatever they want. I hardly ever see anyone playing Pinhead. When I do it's almost always a 4k escape. There is no chance that he is "over performing".

I don't think they play the game at all.

Boon: Vengeance

Survivors who have been hooked at least once and are within the Boon Totem's range benefit from the following effect:

The next time they stun the killer, the killer is instead put into the Prone state.

Prone: While prone a killer may be picked up by a survivor and placed on a hook. The killer must succeed at a difficult skill check to escape the hook.

in Hopefully we get some more boon perks in the PTB Comment by DbDCasual November 8, 2021

I actually don't want the game "balanced". At least from a competitive standpoint. This is what I want from both roles...

Survivor: I want to enjoy a tense and dramatic game where I legit fear for the safety of my character. I'm looking for a horror exprience from the experience of a victim. The killer being near me should send chills up my spine. Surviving should be exilerating and satisfying.

Killer: I want to feel like a predator. Hunting, stalking, killing. Survivors should know that any interaction with me could result in the end of their game.

Both Roles: You should have a sense of accomplishment regardless of what role you play. You currently get this quite a bit as survivor(there's almost nothing you do that can be undone). The experience should be fulfilling regardless of you escaping, dying, or getting X kills.

This isn't a competitive game and it shouldn't pretend to be. It should be fun and scary and tense. Right now it's not really any of those things.

Just wanted to point out, that there are humans controlling those characters. The actions taken behind an avatar have the same impact as words spoken behind an alias.

I disagree. Having a character squat and stand several times in front of someone is not nearly as bad as wishing cancer on their mother in end-game chat, IMO. To each their own, however.

Well maybe you should try to read before commenting, because not once did I say it impacted me, what I was saying was that it needs to stop.
Let me put it in simple terms. toxicity breads toxicity. Some survivor plays the game and the killer is toxic, they feel the need to be toxic back, not just in that game but the next, so the next killer feels like they should be toxic, until it is too much and people, as you say, stop playing DBD, just have they have with other games, where people started getting toxic and then people left, then because there was less players, less people buying DLC and skins, servers was shut down and the games died.
Well I like playing DBD, I don't let it impact me negative because I have seen things in this world that would give you nightmares, which is why I don't want the game to end because of the few idiots and the ones that come on here and try to defend it.
But feel free to have your own opinion. I will have mine because I have seen too many games die because of idiots.

Despite your self-proclaimed life of abject horror and misery, you're showing how much it impacts you by posting on this board. Take a break, dude. You clearly need it for your mental health. Good luck and I hope things get better for you.

The character animations are controlled. They are not AI, so somebody is there with a controller or mouse and keyboard playing that character. The character becomes and extension of the person, so by definition, if the character is being toxic and the character is controlled, then the person playing is being toxic, but that is a different argument.
When somebody then comes on the end chat and starts calling a team every swear word because they was beat, then that is toxic.
Now I don't really care what is said, it is words on the screen and what they do in the game is in the game, but firstly, these are the same people who slate survivors for tea bagging and saying they are toxic, secondly it gives a lot of killers who proxy camp a bad name and increases the toxicity all round. If people saw it as a game, which is what it is, then people could just have fun, after all if you get hit in the game, it does not physically hurt in real life. If you are beat then you are beat, move on to the next game and try harder.
By the way, I am writing this while being camped and hit by a killer, because we have done gens.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Getting hit by a killer while you're hooked may not be fun but I don't see it as toxic.

Telling someone to die in endgame chat is toxic. I see it as an entirely different thing.

If this sort of behavior impacts you so negatively it might be best you stop playing DbD, however.

in The few give killers a bad name. Comment by DbDCasual November 1, 2021

Nothing that happens in-game is toxic. Tea bagging, camping, hook disabling, hitting a hooked survivor, whatever. That's not toxic. You may not like it but it's not toxic. It's just little animations on a screen doing stuff.

Toxic is what happens in end game chat or post-game messages where one human says to another human "Get cancer" or some such. What our characters do to each other on a computer game is meaningless. What we do to each other as human beings is what matters.

in The few give killers a bad name. Comment by DbDCasual November 1, 2021

I pretty much main survivor nowadays because playing killer sucks. I main Mikaela and run a healing/shadow step build and I think the combo is crazy powerful. 14 seconds to bless a dull totem isn't much at all and the fact that my scratch marks are hidden in the boon area is crazy powerful. I don't even know how you'd balance that. The healing helps a lot too, especially if you get someone else to heal you, but the lack of auras and scratch marks? I can't count the amount of chases I've won because of it.

in Boon totems aren’t OP Comment by DbDCasual November 1, 2021

You can't trust anything BHVR says to be honest. They say one thing and then do the exact opposite. When they reworked the maps they not only loaded them with pallets they made sure as many of them as possible were safe and able to be looped infinitely forcing the killer to break the pallet. It's just one more reason why killer is by no means the power role in this game. Survivors run the show. Full stop.

Survivors rarely care for the fun of the killers and just want everyone out, why should the killers concede a win to one of the four players in the match, given that survivors when facing and succeding over a killer using measures that they consider scummy will always teabag in the exit gate and bad manner the killer any occassion given.
You want to escape if possible all 4 of you, that's why almost always nobody starts egc unless everyone is safe as survivor and that's why killers are entitled for a sweaty endgame slug to avoid hatch searching/door rotating during egc.

You fail to miss the point of my post entirely. And, for the record, I play survivor solo queue and I never 99% the gates. Unless the killer stops me, if I get to the gate, I'm opening it and leaving. Probably doesn't make me very popular with other survivors but I'm not throwing away those escape BPs for anyone.
