Yeah this is a rant post, because I fucking can. The worst thing this retarded community has done at this point is the Grimoire Character Development Vote, which is now officially over.This entire process reflects the entirety of this game's defects, like God himself coming down to Earth to personally tell you to kill yourself. I have been a part of the voting process since it's beginning in early Spring, and watched it and community feedback. Unsurprisingly, yet infuriating because of implications of outcome, it was essentially taking a group of mentally retarded liberal faggots and asking them to develop the most manly Harley Davidson motorcycle, with zero sense of irony. After years of watching (((gameplay updates))) nearly destroying the game by the devs themselves who are completely retarded, this "vote-to-design" concept was immensely abused as was completely expected by anyone who actually understands the flaws of democracy. The only singular vote that had any remote sense of actual conceptual logic was the Killer's execution of the survivor...because every other choice was poorly thought through, there was essentially no choice or appeal to them. It's the lesser of all worst takes you can come up with.Every other outcome was uninspired, basically the entire outcome was led by the most basic smooth-brained homosexual male/woman/LGBTQ-affront to humanity, with even one skin that was voted on which was selected because le Indians wanted a hindu god theme, in a western serial killer/dark fantasy horror game:>Spooky Scary Eldritch Divine Angel of Death? No we want the exact same design of the stupid bitch with spider legs in a red dress lol. Now the audio main menu theme was chosen and it sounds like a pipe organ theme, the Eldritch horror aspect completely pissed away. Spooky Jesus or some meaningless bullshit. Oh the Survivor could have been a straight, white irish male.Guess which survivor character skin was the least voted on.
>>738835918I've never cared for the game or the kind of people that play it, but I donlike effortposts and sympathize with doing that on this shithole so I will give you a bumpNo I'm not reading any of that
I played DbD for about 2000 hours before it became way too easy because the average player is a retard trying to use crutch perks/items.It got to the point where my win rate as both survivor or killer was near 100% even at top rank. Eventually it just got boring and felt like a job so I quit back in 2021.How is it nowadays? It's kinda shocking to me it's still as popular as it is. Has it gotten better?
>>738836060Cheers for that. I'll tl:dr for you:>This entire game and it's community reflects the entirety of this game's defects, like God coming down to Earth to personally tell you to kill yourself.
>>738836196OP here. I am getting back into it, slowly, as I play other games. I've got a max of about roughly 350+ hours or so, the game gets easy to a point after a while of practice and sweating gets tiresome. Suffice to say, it's gotten far worse. People are waiting for this bastardized killer project the devs threw into the horde of retards, and the anniversary. Balance wise, it's devs dick riding zero-skill losers yet are afraid to try to reign them in out of gear of losing paypigs. Things have marginally improved, but the current meta is horrible with gen rushing. One step forward, two backward and that bullshit.
>>738835918That sucks, it's amazing how these people have consistently awful taste in everything. Reminds me of minecraft mob votes where people voted on stuff like a creature that punishes you for not sleeping.
How does this game manage to create 500 shitty perks that don't do anything useful
>Oh the Survivor could have been a straight, white irish male.>straightI followed this extremely loosely, but I don't think that was ever listed anywhere. I voted for the girl, but I don't really blame people for voting for the literal hag just for the sake of variety.Also>still play DbD in 2026
>>738837045It was the last character skin featured along the edgy alt-girl, negro, geezer. It was the one I voted for. A white man in his thirties with red hair+mustache+goatee, blue eyes. Green shirt.
>>738837045>looks at pictureLiterally the dude on the far right.
>>738835918The game is filled with trans flags what do you really expect?
>>738837326>having expectations of any positive nature in 2026 from mainstream game devsI mean, you'd hope at least 70% of the fucking community isn't completely retarded and it's a vocal minority issue. Apparently that's too much to ask for.
>>738836780Stronger man than me, I threw in the towel when I realized I'd never be able to have fun as Killer again because even at the bottoms ranks everyone does the same shit. I just want to try out the new killers in between Pyramid Head runs but it's basically just asking for a 5gen speedrun
>>738837660Yep. It's retarded. I learned to love 3/1's because I refuse to alter and cheapen my builds for retarded shit like mass gen reduction. The only character I will even bother with that is Insanity Mindrape Doctor, because his mechanics directly interact with said design. Sure it's amusing, but after a while I yawn and run back to Hex-God Pinhead with Devour Hope. I run theme+efficiency of character strength perk builds. Meta is a cancer I overcome by choice. Yes, it sucks at times. Do I care? No. BHVR doesn't own my sack. They can go fuck themselves.
didn't read but happy for you or sorry that happened OP
Do yourself a favor and cut yourself off from DbD, cold turkey. It's the most harmful game to your health you can play that isn't a gacha or MOBA, and it might be worse for you than MOBAs. Do not chase the high of a dominant game, it is not worth the excruciating pain you will go through dealing with either SWFs or hard tunneling killers. Uninstall it and never look back, I was happier when I finally did (after almost 700 hours)
>>738838928Hmmmm.......>no.
>>738835918>Game died when they stopped doing live dev streams with cote.>Game died again when they released springcrapSex with David King.
>still playing dead by daylight in 2026you are the problem. you are addicted and can't quit
>>738835918The game's aesthetic was irredeemably fucked when they added the K-Pop faggot and it's been in freefall ever since. All the quirk chungus dev quotes in the anniversary streams where they all openly stated they don't like horror movies should have clued you in to the fact it was time to uninstall. They tried to shill slut glams and cheap tie ins like Tomb Raider, Witcher and that gay anime killer for easy money from obese housebound trans Redditors and that's who the audience for this game is in 2026. I'm not even going to start on the gameplay getting worse and worse each update for literal years.
I read the post.
>develop the most manly Harley Davidson motorcyclethe most homo motorcycle on the planet? Picking literal faggots seems like a good choice
>>738835918I quit DBD when they announced those big survivor/killer changes on the PTB that incentivised killers to not tunnel someone out at 3 hooks and then reverted the changes when faggot killer mains on Reddit complained. The devs are spineless, gutless retards and I'm not surprised that the Grimoire thing also went to shit.>>738838763Go back to wherever you came from and kill yourself ASAP.
>>738840121Kaneki was a genuinely hilarious choice because that guy never killed a single human in the manga.
>>738836886>like a creature that punishes you for not sleeping.I forget the story of this one in full, but wasn't it that Mojang never elaborated on their gameplay function? And people voted for it because it looked cool otherwise. Also recall Dream supposedly having massive influence over at least two later polls, in order to either minimize their intrusion on speedrunning or optimize them. Are they even still doing votes after people got fed up with them?
>>738835918Dbd is not a source of joy op, its a source of frustration and carrots on a stick in the form of empty fucking dev promises. Just save yourself the toil and uninstall it.T. Ghost face main
Lastt time I booted it up the gsme felt unplayable. As in the controls were sluggishly unresponsive amd the running speed felt incredibly slow. Either it was a bug from playing on linux mint or I jad gotten used to the fast and snappy freedom of movement from SCPSL.In any case SCPSL mogs DbD in gameplay and spookiness. Completely mogs it. DbD devs need to update the core gameplay. The generator timer race isn't it.
>>738835918I quit playing when they added crossplay half a decade ago. I went from ending every match with survivors in the chat telling me to kill myself and getting a steam profile comment of same nature after every game to the chat never being used again and only getting a comment every few gamesJust didn't see the point of playing at that point
Game is hard to even know where most of the issues are when the animations are so poor and the hitboxes suck ass, as well as every 2nd killer having 60+ms
Why the fuck do people still play this dumpster fire of a game?
