ugh not another upload from this person. DBD players "assume" the worst, cause the community is an endless cycle of toxicity and no you cannot "break the cycle" by being different. if you go in positive, you'll endu p disappointed with endless teammates who are way under the reccomended playing age of the game underperfomring, selling you out or NOT PLAYING THE DAMN GAME. People giving up on first hook, people not touching gens. as killer you'll spontaneously find the survivors you SHOULD HAVE playing the game, proritizing gens, hopping on gens the microsecond you dont have their attention...

I feel like the event encourages playing for fun rather than try harding tbh.

I like friendly killers . but I don’t like being farmed against my will

The new event (at least in killer side) is just irritating to me. Gens do go by fast, and the new event (if the survivors know how to use it well) is just frustrating. I don’t hate them for doing it, they’re using what’s available at the moment to help them win the game, but damn does it feel like it’s sometimes impossible to have fun with this event as killer. As survivor? Hell yeah I love it, especially since I get to collect all kinds of things and use them afterwards while killers in this event can’t use the blight serum or arcane rod offering after the event. Just my two-cents on it.

100% agree

Sage, while I haven't seen many of your videos.. the ones that I have watched have been great. Please keep up the content creation, you're made for it.

Disrespectful comment

Hateful and angry comment

iv been somewhat silly somewhat tryhard depending on the match, generally if someone brings a map offering ill crank up the try hardness, in the same view if a little lad or lass runs up to me to play the guitar iv been known to become a little silly. but like poeple on both sides are always trying to win, events are never any different then nonevents lot of people find winning fun and try to win cant blame em, just you notice it more when your looking for it.

I CANT BELIEVE I JUST SAW THIS also i think it's insane that you streamed after wisdom teeth surgery 😭 when i got my wisdom teeth out i couldn't even leave my room for like a week straight 💀

Truly amazing video. I've thought this forever. Every single person in this community needs to watch this video and actually LISTEN to what you are saying in this video. Wonderful video from you as always!

honestly, I'm just having fun while doing the challenges and getting irredescent shards for all the killers that are half off. sure there's going to be a bad game or 2, but most of them are fun. I probably have this mindset because I'm a casual killer main though. I'm not all that worried about having the best perks or the most optimal build.

Im having the opposite problem im a killer main and ever since this event started most teams i play against just dont even play the game guess they want me to be one of those killers with "personality"

I actually feel like you're one of the most, if not, the most positive DBD youtuber.

yeahh I dont think either side is "sweating" I think they're just playing it like a normal match. however I think a "normal match" has just become more sweaty as a whole. And I don't really see why people wouldn't when overall the gamemode doesn't effect gameplay too much. I also think that "sweating" in dbd is tossed around as commonly as people breathe air. "they're genrushing" when survivors literally just do gens. or "their build is toxic" when it's just using the objectively good perks. It's kinda lame how quick people are to complain just bc they aren't having friendlies of either side. or worse god forbid people who just want to play the game

Some sobering moments for me while playing the game is, in the past, getting frustrated with survivors leaving me on hook for example, seemingly playing selfishly, but later watching a small streamer just vibing and chatting with viewers, but in their distraction realize too late that their teammate got left on hook and felt bad. Or on the flip side, watching a killer steam roll us with a sweaty build, but then seeing the most down-to-earth killer mains on twitch taking the game seriously, but it's nothing personal and they're just playing the game how they enjoy playing it. It's easy to assume these people are selfish pricks, but often that's not the case. Maybe they're just scared and lack the confidence to make bold plays, maybe they're playing with a friend or two and they're shooting the shit with each other, maybe they're distracted by their tome challenges, maybe it's just the Solo Queue Experience TM and your team mates don't understand what each other are doing, everyone thinks someone else will get you and no one does. Of course, there are the toxic people, the people who DC at the sight of a killer they don't like or give up on hook, the 4k slugging killers who hump you after. But I think more often than not people are not malicious or entirely selfish. I think if you can just accept the chaos of online PVP games, learn to go with the flow when players are sweaty vs just playing casually and being goofballs, and to not take things so personally, the game won't be so frustrating to play and you can appreciate the good times more. Hell, even if someone is being directly toxic to you, just understand that's their problem, you don't need to give them your energy, they're an insecure toxic mess projecting all their problems onto you, and you can simply stop interacting with them at their level, you're better than that.

I am a killer main because as a killer main, Killers give more options not only when you unlock killers, but in their perks. Survivor is cool and all, but all the best perks are behind licenses. like blast mines and flash bangs. meanwhile, as killer, all the perks you start with are relatively valid enough with how many base killers you have, and in earning a lot of bloodpoints, allows you to P1 them to share those base kilelr perks with every other killer off rip! to enjoy survivor, I'd need to play killer long enough to P3 every killer, to then start P1-ing every survivor. I love playing stealth survivor, and I can't loop to save my life, LITERALLY. but other people don't like that I play stealth. I don't play altruistically, I play logically, because I see too many games where all 3 survivors charge in to unhook 1 player, and then nobody's doing gens. so Im the guy that stays behind for them. and if the killer chases me, I drag them to the farthest corner of the map that I can. because Survivor requires more braincells than killer, and I have a short supply of those dedicated to abusing knight's power to camp my devour hope totem. I used to be a 50/50, now im a 90/10, and that 10 is dedicated to dailies and Tomes. oh, and to emphasize my point on what survivor gameplay should be: you're called SURVIVORS. don't hunt down killers to make the game miserable like YOU'RE the horror monster. loosen up, and stop being so meta for sec, ok?

I'd say im casual killer. I'll play the game and if I get one kill, I'll be happy. sure I'll get stressed, and sure if someone sabot boxes im gonna slug them in the face and leave them both laying there, but what other choice is there? I don't tunnel intentionally, but you'll be stupid if you think im gonna pass up going for the same injured survivor for a third time instead of their uninjured teamate because it just makes more sense. I don't get tunneling intentionally, or aiming to slug everyone, but if I happen to have to or am using those tactics because of how the survivor is playing, so be it! if I can't even get a hook in the. match, Im gonna tunnel. if you're gonna keep stalking me with flashlights, im gonna slug or run lightborn next time. I don't spit venom, but I'll certainly spit it back. but none of that is worth it beyond petty revenge. what is worth is is the wesker Carry build. Agitation, Iron Grasp, Awakened Awareness, thrilling tremors. it's objectively better to play the match holding a body in your arms than without, and it's so funny for that.

Basically, the final music bit was Bubba searching for love, having had the toxic relationships of his family and The Entity, then finding it in the Survivors. Spoilers for DBD, but they all team together and beat The Entity using the power of love!

I mean i got like one annoying billy and they basically got 2 kills early game, and the killer just decided to slug, even though me and the other last survivor was doing gens, idk why the slug but it was whatever i guess My advice for the event, Open portals and grab the smoke grenade and leave right away, no point what's so ever to stay in the void Same as killer, don't stay in the void too long. Event is funny in my opinion, with the smoke bombs. The void is funny to loop for a bit if you're in a dead zone, better than nothing.

I feel like no one try to do fun stuff because they don´t want to trow the game but also expect the ohter side to waist time, hits for a fun moment. If you just Chase a Surv and hook without showing ANY kind of reaction than the surv hase no oputinito to do fun shit with you. The same on the ohter side. If you don´t try to do somthing funny that is not the most effectif thing in the round than don´t expect the ohterside to do it. I main Mirror Myers because of the funny moments that is happening during the match and I have a lot more fun than playing a Blight and just play the most effectiv way possibel. This is a Multiplayer game and in Multiplayer games you make your fun with the ohter players. Its not just happening automaticlly.

THISSSSS I LITERALLY THINK ABT THIS ALL THE TIME!! especially recently, i have a friend newer to dbd i play with sometimes. there used to not be a problem, but recently theyve been getting so mad about tunneling and throw the word around even when hooks are evenly spread. and its just really killing the mood for both of us. i, a 2,000 hour player, try to tell them "i mean i dont think so?" and then they get pissy and quiet. theyve been complaining a lot more lately, abt how theyre always tge first to die (they are new in a game thats extremly beginner unfriendly. they havent accepted dying a fuck ton is just part of survivor, and you get a bit better at surviving as you get more experience even though survivor will usually always involve dying a lot) and killer befriending people and even got mad at the killer "puppyguarding the gates" when i was trying to open them after killer closed hatch and abt the killer camping after all gates are done. and ive just been noticing how theyve become only anle to see the negative. i understand whete theyre coming from, dbd can suck sometimes, but i just miss when they where newer and we where just goofing off together innocently without wirrying about winning. we always died, but we had a good time and i think thats the real goal of dbd

Getting into this game a year ago, one of the many things I kept hearing over and over is that dbd players will complain about anything. I played a game today as killer and tryed my best to re-learn ghost face on an old build I had. I only got one kill and then got a "gg,are you ok and don't run no end" thankfully they were a good sport but like I wasn't really "try harding" but I notice this alot from both killer and survivor matches.

Kit-wise I can play whoever, but the one that really clicked on that personal level was Trickster. I laugh or giggle in high pressure situations as a nervous reaction, so it was nice finding a character who does the same. Too bad he's a raging narcissist. lol

I don’t like the easy access to flashlights in the event

Running four anti slug perks have saved me many hours of my life from the slugggers this week and it’s made my time more enjoyable

I ignore the people in games yelling "sweat" or "tryhard". I just assume they are new or inexperienced players as that's often the case.

love this, thank you for pointing it out

I think the real problem is not sweating, it's villifying the act of wanting to win at the video game. Like I'm not even talking about playing high tier killers and aggressively tunneling, or running multiple BNPs in a SWF. I mean just, using good perks and some gen regression as killer is sweating? Though I will admit that I've seen a couple of Nurses, a character who cannot really use the event power, and who do not interact with the event at all. They're free to do so if they wish, but I have to wonder why they queued for the event mode if they're not going to play with the new toys.

I don’t need them, but I want them. I’m a cosmetics guy. I see cosmetic I like, if I can afford it, I buy it. Yes, I’ve made some…questionable financial decisions, but for the most part I still have enough money left over.

During events i sometimes play friendly matches as killer but when I'm not im usually doing a challenge because challenges are easier when playing killer but i have had an odd influx of rude or tryhardy survivors

Based, appreciate the thoughtful content

I appreciate the work you put into this and the message, but I'd like to respectfully add a point of disagreement (I don't disagree with everything). I think the DBD community at some point also created a sort of built-in protection mechanism for the designers of the game. Way too often, I see complaints from either side, with the general vibe of "hey, I'm not really having as much fun as I used to have" and then it turns into this pseudo-psychological deconstruction about how the community "complains too much" or "people just need to learn to shrug x y z off" and I think the intent of that is all well and good, but it misses the fundamental message. DBD's design has become increasingly frustrating as the years go by, as the game gets more popular, and certain groups take it more seriously / others take it less seriously. Things have happened, and the designers of the game have stopped trying to be proactive, and I would argue even lag behind to REACT to things that happen to the state of DBD. I don't feel like enough pressure is put on them to address the very valid criticisms of "hey, I'm just not having as much fun anymore" from both killers and survivors. That's their job, and they haven't been doing it well. But at some point, we started this back and forth discourse of "the playerbase" and ultimately choose to point back the finger at ourselves, all while BHVR primarily focus on increasing monetization and put dev resources *away* from this game. I think we would be more effective to get them to respond, rather than trying to change the mentality and psychology of /every player in the game/ tbh.

Another reason is SBMM which just reinforces that negativity after winning a single game you will have several bad ones.😢😢

As I like to say/think, "most people are just doing their best". Slightly different, but I feel like it's got the same energy. Helps me a lot, not just in DBD, either, but in all aspects of life.

Completely agree and understand the sway of suggestion, however there are plenty of Killers playing the event just to RUIN the fun, slugging at 5 gens, bringing NOED, Devour, starstruck just a full insta-down build, and humping on the ground 80% of the matches, or worst of all Infinite Tombstone Myers is not something my team an I run across often in normal DBD matches so it certainly feels like the event is more so toxic then the average match, on the flip side we have had nice farming killers too so its a mixed bag of jellybeans just feels like more rotten jellybeans then normal lol

Killers: TYPICAL 4 MAN SWEAT SQUAD. PROBABLY CALLING OUT MY EVERY MOVE. My friends and I: *In a VC just making Spongebob references. Also we're running the goofy Nic Cage Perks.* I also dislike how participating in any INCLUDED GAMEPLAY mechanics is also called bullying. People say I'm bullying the Killer and I'm like "...I got ONE flashy save."

Im a Cheryl main because I absolutely love Silent Hill and I find her whole character/appearance just very beautiful and appealing ❤

Nah I just play to win. Some matches I just suck and they win. Killer main tho so I 3-4k a lot. I suck as a survivor and don't get out often with my friends. A lot of times I'm caught out of place and don't have a jungle gym to loop or a strong filler pallet or the pallet is already used that I wanted

This is part of the reason I stopped playing killer cus I didn't want to get bullied or even sent toxic hate mail. I really didn't feel like dealing with to the point I Stopped all together eventually cus I was tired of even toxic killers. Watching your videos have made me want to play again but I honestly still feel shaky at times especially when I think about playing killer side.

I lvoe this video! I play Sadako a lot but it was nice hearing the facts and thinking "ohh, i knew that" or "wow, i didnt know that" lol esp seeing the demanifestation states from the survivor side in a calm manner haha ALSO, a fun build for Sadako in chase is an upgraded vault speed build, its hilarious bc she is so quick like she is coming out the TV but its over a vault!! xd survs are lucky she can only vault windows

I played yesterday with my duo and we had 7 escapes in a row. We were dumbfounded as we weren't expecting to breeze through games lmao Basically, i had the OPPOSITE experience from everyone: I expected tunneling and every meta possible and I won instead

Vic approved

Its funny cause today I was playing the event with some people and we ran into a very strong Spirit. She had Enduring, Genetic Limits, Deadlock, Surge and good add-ons. I ran Unbreakable, DH, Finesse and Desperate Measures. When I play killer I also run meta - Corrupt, Grim, Pain Res, Pop but tend to play more chill. Play whatever you want. Egc is not your morale compass.

Honestly the only thing that has irritated me during this event so far is survivors crying about me "not playing in a fun way" like ???????????????????????????? Sorry, my definition of fun isnt being flashed every 2 sec, walking around doing nothing or meme:ing, i wanna play the game and have it be fairly competitive. You cannot cry about me playing "unfun" when you bring 4 flashlights to bully me or 4 toolboxes to do gens hella quick, then ofc I will play to atleast draw. The amount of people who complain in this gamemode while simultaneously playing "unfun" themselves is actaully crazy to me. Hypocrisy at its finest. Like some other guy said "sweating means "they did not let me win" " For example, just played a game and all gens got done in maybe 7 min ish, I slugged one survivor in the realm to try something out. I know you cant get healed bcs youre broken in there, so i wanted to see if you can even pick anyone up from the ground. They rest of em opened exit gates, ran in to save, and ended up all getting downed. Who complained about it? Perhaps was it the sable who I first downed in there? Nope... she thought it was a good strat and said they might try it out themselves. Mr Jake paul tho on the other hand who was the last person i downed wrote a whole essay in chat why im not allowed to play like that bcs its not fun for him. Well at the end of the day, me and Sable had a great time.

I cant say if this means much, but Ive had my worst DBD experience in ages on the latest event. Im having a lot of fun on the event, and like it tbh, but this killer sits on top of the hatch (while its open) to wait until I approach, and afterward I try to get a chase in and (being The Game) I walk into a small room with for some reason one entrance, where I just... sat there... injured... until timer ticked from max to 0. They then said "I need to raise mmr"??? (even tho i dont think events have mmr/dbd mmr is mostly useless) :/ I think people are being too hard on the event, its not amazing, but its not bad, but Ive never seen such a... petty attitude seemingly from the last match to that kind of extent. Not bannable since timer, and im not one to rage at games so whatev, but just unnecessary af.
