You know what, i think i get it.
Ok my point isnt EXACTALLY the same as duccs, but i mostly just want to put it here because ive been thinking about it for a bit.
Something ive been thinking about (and what this video made me remember) was that... i was simply not having fun in asyms in general, be it forsaken, die of death, pwned by 14'o clock, item asylum (to a lesser extent.), evil billy, ect.
Now it MIGHT be a skill issue, ive never been too good in anything, but everytime i lost, be it losing an lms, just dying kinda stupidly as survivor, not being able to kill anyone in a round, whatever, i get decently annoyed, as i would expect someone to be, yknow?
Now, this video mentioned something about old forsaken, that being that phase where everyone was still new to the game and learning how to play, most players being about the same level of skill.
Cause, lets be honest, you dont really want to play agaisnt a 50 day player with every golden skin using 1x, do you?
As we got more used to the game, we took it more seriously and more "ranks" started to pop up, making so the new players got demolished by the sweats, the mid range players being frustrated because they cant compete with the sweats, and the sweats... being either toxic, emotionless or just depressed and suffering from sunk cost fallacy.
I belive this is why die of death survived so long without any meaningful updates, the game had a more casual vibe, i killed a man in 2008 once, the gamemodes were the most fun i had with an asym game in a LONG while, and serazik funny .
I dont mean to call names, but Anemone, one of the more popular sweats on the die of death community, keeps saying they really arent having fun with die of death recently, and (sorry for being a know-a-all) i think this might be why, they are simply just... too locked in.
This is also why i dont hate friendlies as much as other people in this community, as much as its annoying having an intire round basically wasted, sometimes its just fun to "lock out" and be goofy for a bit! now, im not saying you SHOULD be the milestone 4 slasher friendly, but also dont get TOO mad when someone just wants to take a break.
