After years of owning DBD, I finally bought my very first cosmetics EVER (apart from the two latest Rift passes). I went straight into a match to test the skin, brought an Ebony Mori for the drama, especially because I don’t remember ever facing this skin myself.

I picked Trickster even when I’ve only played him for about 3.5 hours so far, but I immediately fell in love with his gameplay.

In endgame chat, Claudette informed me that people who play Trickster "become familyless in 2 days." Then they left the exact same message on my profile, just to make sure the debuff was properly applied.

Is this true? Do I have 48 HOURS? Is there counterplay, or is it already too late?? 😭

They were probably only mad because they were the only one who died on hook after first stage, because nobody came to unhook them (I have no idea why, I wasn’t anywhere nearby and didn’t even notice until I heard the sacrifice sound.)

But damn, that insult actually made me laugh. It was so oddly specific :-D.

I bought a bunch of new killers after quite some time and immediately hopped into a match as The First. I didn’t realize matchmaking would most likely put me against very low-MMR players since I had only leveled him up to P1, so I wasn’t mentally prepared for the high chance of toxicity.

I don’t think I did too badly. I mainly focused on triggering Worldbreaker as often as possible to get a grasp of his vine attacks, so I prioritized gaining tokens over basic M1 hits most of the time. With two gens remaining, I had three hooks and one sacrifice, accepted my defeat, and ended up in an awesome long chase with one Meg who was really good . I chased her for the rest of the game 🤗.

Well, this is what came after - even though they saw my basic perks and that I brought a tortie.

When I switched to playing killer almost exclusively this January, I had been a survivor main for years, so I at least understood the mechanics. If this is what new players experience the very first time they try killer, and even repeatedly, I don’t understand how they keep going :-/. I’d be really bummed out if this happened to me.

My first successful EGC orbital and I feel like garbage now 😭

Two last survivors were lingering at the gate, and I immediately assumed they were both doing the usual exit gate toxicity.

In the lobby, 3 people last-second switched to flashlights (Robin was one of them) and of course they spent the whole match trying to blind me as much as possible. I’m used to that, but it was a pretty fast-paced game, so it wasn’t too annoying at first. But when I saw their auras at the gate, I got frustrated because I really didn’t want to deal with it in that moment.

Still, I told myself I could try one more orbital. I really didn’t think it would land, so I was prepared to feel nothing about it. Just a casual throw.

But then Robin tried to blind me and did her little dance, and I got tilted out of my mind. I actually thought Feng was the one who tried to blind me.

So when I got the orbital, I was so freaking hyped. I had only been learning orbitals for about an hour, and this was my 3rd match trying them, so I was like "YEEES, FINALLY, ANOTHER ENTITY KARMA AND SUCH A COOL ONE".

And then I watched it back because of the orbital misplays and realized Feng wasn’t being toxic AT ALL.

She was crouching to say GG. She dropped her toolbox. She had zero hooks. I barely even saw her all match.

I punished the ONLY survivor who wasn’t being toxic because I am so used to t-baggers and flashlight bullies wasting my time that I just assumed the worst.

I desperately wanted to apologize to her, but she was console player. I honestly wish she could see this post.

So now my first successful endgame orbital feels like absolute trash.

To the toxic survivors who make killers this paranoid: I hope the Entity personally collects your kneecaps.

I’ve been playing killer almost exclusively for half a year now, and even when I was a survivor main back in 2018, I have never wanted to find someone online as desperately as I want to find this Feng 😭😭.

It’s named "Never a Dull Moment in TS2."

I immediately remembered what was going on. This happened halfway through a wedding party. The kitchen caught fire because the bride messed up the Baked Alaska. While the Grim Reaper was arriving, someone who hated the groom ran over and angrily kicked over his trash can.

Now, there are two possibilities. Either the bride is upstairs in the bathroom because she got burned and her hygiene dropped almost to zero, and the person who died was some random guest.

Or, since there are already two guests there, and I remember that in the very early days, the game would sometimes only let you invite a max of two Sims to a party to keep the PC from crashing, that would mean the person who died was actually the bride.

Holy crap, that game really was never boring 😂😂😂.

Also, why the heck was my sim wearing a llama mask with his outerwear outfit 😃? I definitely didn’t set it as the default because I was actively avoiding these shenanigans. Maybe it was some kind of coping mechanism 🤔.

I’m used to survivors healing at the gate. I even understand why Nancy was being daring here, but Gabriel… what exactly was the plan??? :-D :-D

Sometimes I can´t see the security door numbers when entering the office. It happens in about 1 out of 4 matches and lasts for the whole game. It´s practically a guaranteed loss because I can´t coordinate without them.

I tried using Bonnie´s Guitar Strings as a workaround, but I don´t really like that add-on on him :-(.

EDIT: I have no troubles with map navigation in general. When this happens I play him without relying on the doors but it mostly results in 1 kill (if I am lucky) because of his movement speed.

For the record, it was my 4th match as Doctor, so I’m a complete newbie with him.

Basically, I had a match where I suspected a cheater pretty much from the beginning and let myself get wound up by it. Unfortunately, I don’t have the first long chase with her (Ada) recorded, but it happened in a similar area to this one, just without a pallet. I just couldn’t hit her at all, even though I used Shock Therapy much less than I did in this chase. It felt really weird. So I let her go and went for someone else, and everything went okay. I even managed to down them quite easily at the same spot where I couldn’t hit Ada.

Then I initiated 2nd chase with Ada - after few moments, that’s where the clip starts - and I just couldn’t let it go. The last chase starts at 1:18, and that’s where the strange Madness level change becomes really obvious.

During the 2nd chase, it felt like she let herself get hit on purpose at one point. I was really convinced she was a cheater, so I even camped her while she was downed during the endgame and kept shaking my head at the others to leave her, but they all tried to save her, so I let it go because I didn’t want to prolong it anymore.

After the match, I saw that her perks were Stake Out, Hyperfocus, Dead Hard, and Resilience. The others had solo, non-meta perks - nothing that boosted the team with haste or something.

So I did my research and found out that using Shock Therapy reduces the killer’s speed, so that’s most likely what was happening, because I overused it a lot because I kept trying to stop her from vaulting or using pallets. I think that’s also what kept removing my Bloodlust, right?

But Shock Therapy never seemed to work on her when I tried to block her from vaulting or using pallets, while I had no trouble with the others when I chased them - it worked every time. Also, several times it looked like Shock Therapy didn’t hit her at all, even though it felt like it should have.

When I watch it now, it was probably just because she looped me really well, and I also had the Interview Tape add-on, which changes the shape of Shock Therapy. So maybe the reason I had no trouble with the others was simply that they weren’t as good at looping.

So in the end, I came to the conclusion that she probably wasn’t a cheater and that I got baited, tilted myself, and threw the game against a skilled player for no reason 😃. But I would really like to know for sure.

There is still one thing I haven’t managed to solve: how did she keep losing Madness III so fast without snapping out of it? And I finally managed to block a pallet for her only at the end of the last chase, when the Shock Therapy reached her the exact right second.

Again, when the others reached Madness III, they never lost it during a chase. What did she do to counter my blocking + how come she kept losing the Madness level?
