I'm a 12 day player, and ever since that one faithful update, Artful and Badware are just not fun to play as for me. Like- THANKFULLY I got their mastery skins before competent civilians were really a thing (I started playing since like day 1 of DoD with the square lobby), because now I realize just how map dependent they are, and it's genuinely not fun because I want to use them on every single map and enjoy myself.

Buff or not, Artful's abilities are still abysmal dumpster fire against a competent team, and I keep seeing it with other artfuls.

Badware is no different, as I can NOT go on a looping map because A, I need to check on 2 sides at once and I can't just cluster computers together, and B, because the moment I look away, my computers get disintegrated.

Long story short, I'm never using Artful and Badware until they get reworked or buffed. Especialy Artful, he's going in the trash can until he sees a better day.

I don't want to rot using Pursuer or Killdroid all the time, you know? And there is no "just learn how to use them". Mf, I have their masteries, I know what I'm talking about.

I'm especially writing this because no matter how much effort I put into putting my Badware skills to use, I get dunked on by 10+ day playtime servers (full experienced servers).

Rarely enough, I happened to have landed in a server full of new DoD players... yikes. For context, this server was filled with players with playtimes ranging from 1 minute to 10 hours at best.

Killdroid ngl doesn't really need a buff, but the 4th ability is just useless.

Since I got the slacker ending on Vanessa and the other two, I wanted to get the slacker ending on Lunatic mode as well, but I either keep dying to Freddy, or any other animatronic I can't deal with for 0.01 seconds...
So, it's just too overwhelming, and I'm not one of those sweaty tryhards either, not that I want to be one.

Anyway, here are the animatronics I have to deal with on Night 5 :

Freddy (especially annoying)
Chica
Bonnie
Foxy
The Puppet (I prioritize Deathcoining her ASAP)
BB
Withered Bonnie
Withered Chica (pretty much an early Toy Bonnie clone)
Golden Freddy
Withered Foxy
JJ (same as BB, no issues here personally)
RWQFSFASXC (combo'd with Withered Foxy, I can deal with them both at once)
Toy Freddy
Mangle (free money)
Helpy (mild incovenience that hid Twisted Wolf's illusion disc thrice in a row now)
Music Man
Mr. Hippo
The Phantoms (free money 2)
Dreadbear
Twisted Wolf
Nightmarionne
Nightmare BB

Here's also the list of upgrades I picked accross the run :

All Ears
Cupcake Cartridge (lucky salvage 2 pick)
Employee Discount
Power AC
Superfan (and Superfan+)
Bear Change

I have at least 80+ custom nightguard mods, and even if I get rid of the problematic ones, at a certain amount, when I try to check the gallery, the game just crashes (or forces me to abort whatever is going on).

Why is every civilian in the game suddenly growing a white beard? Even the emotes have them! I also got greeted by Saucefy for some reason (the "hi" message, specifically). Are we really growing that old waiting for the DoD update?
Also, another thing : the servers had been resetting for a little bit which I think is also tied to whatever is going on? Either way, the server ping is still terrible!

This round kinda chaotic ngl

I was playing a normal round of DoD until Ragnaryus7 wearing a cosplay of Forsaken's "Mafioso" skin for C00lkidd and decided to become invisible (Devesto's model essentially goes underground) for the entire round and only come back to normal on LMS to do the Forsaken jumps.

I was getting chased by a Killdroid and they have fallen off the map a considerable few times, and when I accidentaly punched them off the map, they died from the damage taken. And then the poor Pursuer lost the round...

3 carepads in one round, how rare could that be?
