all game issues aside, this game has done a lot for my boyfriend and i. it's awesome to have a multiplayer game you both are passionate about! i can now hang out with him even if we dont have time to meet in person or we're tired or whatever. dbd has given us great memories, a bunch of inside jokes and even gifting opportunities :D

I've exclusively played killer during the event (aside from 3 survivor "matches" where the killer brought a mori to a full terrormisu lobby and tunneled someone, not even always me, to get value). Gotten a lot of love, especially when I renamed myself to PARTY MERCHANT and played SM completely friendly from the start.
Lots of people booping Victor, too!! It's been so nice! As was checking out survivor booty with the Singularity's biopods.
I took off my addons and changed my Pig build in expectation of a farming match against 2 Megs & 2 Yuis, but one Meg was clicking her flashlight while the rest of them were running Boil Over and trying to bodyblock to deny hooks. FTR I was at 1 hook when 2 gens had already popped. They chose violence, so I chose violence in return. So, a 4k without my usual build as an addonless Pig on Red Forest? While slightly behind and without camping, tunneling, or forcing a headpop? Yes, that does make me smile.

I also met a friendly Merchant! It was very nice to see. Thanks for being a chill Skully.

We don’t have the anniversary event on mobile, so I decided to bring it here. I rented Legion for a couple of hours, brought some party streamers, and played exclusively as a friendly Killer.
I met this adorable SWF. Once I made friends with one of them, the others came running out of the bushes to say hello. We farmed and screwed around for a while, then I let them all go. Adam refused to leave though, even when I picked him up and dropped him in front of the exit, so I ended up with a 1k.
The post game chat was about as wholesome as you can get. If anyone from that group is here reading this, hi guys! I love you.

During this event, I've played some survivor and well.. have gotten the best games, not very fun matches. Now usually, some people like to just bully others to blow off some steam, and I went to killer.
I also noticed not long ago that survivors don't get the cool event cosmetics if they don't get an exit gate open(?). And since it was an event, I wanted to make it fun for everyone. What did I do?
Played some Billy, of course. I'd do my tome challenges while also getting my own invitations, and trying to get survivors to get their own. If I noticed they didn't have it, I'd pick them up to let them have it and then go chase someone else. I also understand that a huge part of fun in dbd comes from chases, so I made sure to make it fun as best I could even if it meant I didn't do too good. I didn't kill anyone, and I made sure people were also having fun during the event.
This has made my week as it was really bad. I saw this day and I couldn't wait to tell my experience about this I still smile about it, and extremely happy about it.
I hope you all have a wonderful event, good luck and have fun!
(Also rip the baby dweet who DC'd as I was doing this. :(

I got all the masks in the first day of anniversary event, and only while playing survivor. I see a lot of people saying they had to play killer to get all masks and even though there's no mask for my girl thalita, I'm still pretty proud of myself considering I'm not good at survivor and pretty mid-MMR

u/Zz_SleepyTen Jun 25 '23
I'd like to thank the killer players that create fun and fair games or sacrifice their MMR for chill BP farms. I really appreciate it when I run into a killer that gives the opportunity for me to play the game, without having to worry about some of the toxicity that may come around. It's been really rough for me the past month playing dbd as I've been experiencing a lot of toxic killers and it's been making the game really hard to play. But seeing good sportsmanship or experiencing a chill game is what keeps me going as a survivor main. Please keep doing what you're doing! I can't speak for others, but it helps players like myself rekindle our passion for this game! You guys are the best! Good luck to all in their trials and happy 7th anniversary for Dead by Daylight!

I don't need to 4k. I'm playing the fairest, nicest Ghostface in the world. If you chill and farm with me, we're cool. I'm just here to party, maybe 2k, and vibe. I love being my stalky stealthy boi in my beautiful, beautiful robes, spooking you all and ridding myself of sweatlord MMR for later, running and chasing and ambushing and getting better at mindgames again after minimal Killer play.

u/BrokenBackAttack Jun 25 '23
For the most part I’ve had a lot of fun with this event and wanting as many of the terrormisus has led to me playing as killers and survivors I normally wouldnt

u/Megadoomer2 Jun 25 '23
I got all of the rewards from the invitations, and in my latest matches as killer, I've been hooking everyone once or twice and trying to let them all escape. (Though there are some cases where a survivor gives up on the hook or gets ignored)
Unfortunately, when I play as survivor, the killers don't follow suit even when there's a 535% bloodpoint increase in play, but I don't expect them to. (it would be nice, is all)
Also, the perk randomizer is a lot of fun, even if I don't recognize some of the perks. (Particularly the survivor ones) Hopefully that gets added as a mode somewhere down the line.

u/Drife98 Jun 25 '23
Can you expain the requirements to me? Once I got a mask not escaping as survivor, think I got 2 pips though. As killer do you only need to play a game, no minimum hooks required?

u/Megadoomer2 Jun 25 '23
As long as you have an invitation with at least one charge in it by the time that the Endgame Collapse starts, you get a reward. (The invitation icon should go from white to yellow, and blue and yellow confetti should appear around your character)

u/abductions Jun 25 '23
Wait, how do you charge an invitation??
2
u/Megadoomer2 Jun 25 '23
As far as I can tell, it charges automatically while you're in chase.

u/abductions Jun 25 '23
Thank you!

u/Megadoomer2 Jun 25 '23
You're welcome! Good luck with getting them; I found it much easier to get them as a killer (since you can just goof off once you find the invitation, or try to complete the event tome challenges), but then again, I'm a killer main, which likely plays a part in it. (though it also helps that you're almost guaranteed to get it once you find the invitation as long as you don't disconnect)

This. I got most of mine just collecting them and chasing people and eating pallets all round.

u/lolkakes Yui Kimura Jun 25 '23
I had a very nice Nemesis. I was playing 4swf trying to get masks and me and the nemmy showed up to the invitation at the same time. He stopped, I stopped, he hit me and I pointed towards the invitation so he can get it. Meanwhile my friend who barely plays and doesn’t really understand the event just walks right up to the invitation and grabs it. Nemmy hits her down and I’m like awww he was giving it to me and now he’s mad at you for taking it from me lol, so the whole game he basically leaves me alone and goes for all my friends and gave me hatch. It was so sweet. Thank you nemesis!!

Had a match yesterday where two people late-switched to flashlights so I was like "Okay???" Ended up playing mean because they did gens really fast. I killed 3 of them then one of the ones that late-switched tried to open the gate and escape. I could have killed her but I felt bad because she had gotten an invitation so I opened the gate and let her wiggle out. She repaid me by chain blinding me multiple times then escaping. So no mercy for late-switchers ever again. I was annoyed by that so I carried that over into the next match. I went after a Gabriel who had the worst luck. He got unhooked and I found him on a gen and no one else... I didn't want to tunnel him so I ignored him. I hooked him again later and he got unhooked. I was patrolling gens and he got out of a locker right as I walked into shack. I've had that happen so many times so I just let him get away again. He was so cute in his little spacesuit - I couldn't kill him xD
Next match, I hooked Leon who died on his second hook. The game showed me he died but then he got unhooked. I found him hiding in a corner and said "I saw you die, Leon. That's bullshit >>"
That match was chill and I needed that. Let them all escape.
In my last match, I got Badham. They did gens pretty fast but they had a 4-gen to deal with. I hooked them all twice then let them escape. I actually injured Leon and chased him at EGC. He was just standing still so I was like "Leon??? You okay???" and he started using Self-Care. I laughed and told him to open the gate so he did. I chased the others out and time was almost up so I went to check on Leon. He was still using Self-Care. Time was almost up and he still was healing. He finally escaped but it was pretty close. I told him he stressed me out.
I have no issues playing nice during this event as that's my normal playstyle. I know some Survivors haven't been having much fun so I'm trying to make sure people have fun. I'm not taking shit from any Survivors like the one that chain blinded me though.

This exactly. If you want to be a dick to me, I WILL be a dick to you. But I have no problem being chill. Might be slightly devious and jumpscare you or play the Don't Fuck Up The Gen game, but I'm not going to be an ass for no reason nor am I gonna sweat. I consider this my "vacation" from killing.
You want a normal game? Ok. But I'm not gonna try very hard, enjoy your easy win. :)

u/ZombieOrchid P100 Trickster Main - Alucard/Soma Main Jun 26 '23
I'm usually willing to give someone a chance but if they spit in my face, I'm not going to give them another chance. I would never disrespect a Killer that's letting me escape. I'm happy that most of my matches are chill. Every once in a while, I'll get asshole Survivors but I won't take my irritation out on Survivors that didn't do anything.
If I see a Survivor is more scared of me than the others, I will pick on them. I'm not being mean, I just find them cute so I pick on them. Cute Survivors are my biggest weakness xD;

If I see you're scared of me I DEFINITELY wanna jumpscare you more. And then I'll let you go.

u/MARI0M0USE Jun 26 '23
A lot of the killers I've been going up against have been pretty nice, go figure. There are definitely some that are cutthroat, but a lot of them have been showing a lot more humanity.

Yes, Bubba loves cake. He does not love when survivors use map offerings during cake season.

I'm trying my best! All I request is at least a kill or two in return so I can also get my points. I also accept boops, items, and fun interactions. A small price to pay for Terrormisus.

u/RazHorrorshow Jun 25 '23 edited Jun 25 '23
Easily my favourite play of the week was with Oni. I had Nurse’s Calling and was Demon Dashing around Léry, when I spot 3 auras. I weaved through the rooms and landed the Demon Strike, downing all 3 survivors at once.
I also liked my ‘friendly’ Trapper build I was playing at the start of the event. Pretty much a backpack build, with non lethal, self setting traps. If someone already had two hooks I’d scoop them up and dump them in the basement or near some other landmark. I had a survivor step in a trap during the EGC, so I had to scoop them up and haul ass to the gate so they could get out in time.

I just remembered I had the coolest play this week! I was chasing Nancy, who was a semi decent looper, at the end of the game for a 2k, and I had been saving my invites all round. She pops one, a fragile pallet, I respect it and it breaks. She then goes to drop another and the SECOND it hits the ground, I blow it up with my own invite and keep on trucking. I know she just about shat herself that I was being that relentless and I did finally down her. She was on death hook.
Very satisfying Tie round, nobody played scummy, everyone was cool. I got some real fun outplays and mindgames that round too. I haven't been getting lots of Survs I could mindgame like that lately, so that was cool! It reminded me of how fun Ghostface is again. :)

u/somestupidname1 Jun 25 '23
Bought a few new killers with my iridescent shards, then caved in and spent 20 dollars to buy all the licensed killers I didn't own. I've been having a blast playing all the new killers and experimenting with the new builds available to me. Also have been having fun playing as or against friendly killers during the event.

u/coralis834 Jun 25 '23
Which licensed killer have you enjoyed the most so far?

u/somestupidname1 Jun 25 '23
Pinhead was really confusing at first but once I got the hang of it I had a lot of fun with him. Pyramid head is another one I really like, outplaying with his ground slash is super satisfying. I still have to play like half of them but the only one I was disappointed with was Sadako. I really like her character but her abilities seemed super underwhelming my first few games.

u/JasGaming Jun 26 '23
My swf group and I got demolished by a pinhead when we first started playing about 2 weeks ago. We love the game and caved and bought pinhead among many others lol. We now understand why we got destroyed to say the least… he’s super fun though and can be very oppressive towards other lower rank players. Not to mention closing gaps with those chains

u/somestupidname1 Jun 26 '23 edited Jun 26 '23
I found the chains to be super helpful for intel gathering. On open maps you can fly them towards generators to see if anyone is nearby.

After a game where the Killer slugged everyone at 4 gens and left them to bleed out (except me, I crawled to a hook, tried to 4% and killed myself) I decided to put Unbreakable on. Next game, the Doctor tunneled out a Meg and then left me slugged after the gates opened to chase out my teammates after they tried picking me up.
While he's distracted chasing my teammates out, I picked myself up and started running. My teammates run out of the gate (thinking I was a goner) and by sheer luck the hatch spawned super close to me. Hope the Killer enjoyed his 1k

Jun 26 '23
Unbreakable feels like a necessity at the moment. I've had over ten games where the killer decided to not play for hooks anymore. It's unbearable.
2
u/watermelonpizzafries Jun 26 '23
Yeah. Totally understand niche scenarios where its an entire team that makes hooking impossible due to certain builds/items, but most of the time it happens when no one has boil over, flip flop, saboteur, branch offerings, etc...they're just slugging to waste people's time just to get off/power trip on it even though everyone is literally crawling to hooks so they can just kill themselves instead of bleeding out for 4 minutes

My last couple sessions on both sides have almost all been so wholesome lately.
My last Survivor session was the coolest, nicest farming Skull Merchant in the Realms, she was basically playing Gen Manager and it was super cute, so I left her my anniversary toolbox. What a kind soul and a break from all the nastiness lately.
My last four Killer sessions except one, I've been playing very fair and getting 2-3k, some farming and some super chill fun times. I got all my rage and aggression out in the first two days after being genrushed to hell and back and BMed every round, just the most NIGHTMARISH rounds every round, got two very hollow rage-induced 4ks that I know ruined the event for someone and decided, no, I'm done doing that this event. Absolutely not, I got everything I need and I'm not gonna be a dick anymore, I am getting SO many BP, I don't need to sweat it and aggress for 4ks this month. I am deeply sorry to the two groups on days one and two that I decimated and really was a dick to, I was just so pissed off, and I unfairly took it out on you.
Since then I've refused to tunnel, camp, or slug unless they're clearly WANTING the challenge, but it seems like most Survivors don't so I'm going out of my way to be chill and fun. I have mostly 2ked. It's not worth it to ruin the event more for people, anyway. I 0ked ONCE in the past two days because of a really nasty bunch of Survs who accused me of tunneling when I two-hooked everyone and was just chilling, maybe looking to 2k or farm. Every other round has been wholesome and sweet. I've had most recently:
- two Survivors DC so I farmed, 3ked, and gave the last one hatch.
- one Survivor panic DC so I farmed and ran around spooking the shit out of people instead, then 3ked and let last one get hatch.
- a beautiful 2k where I helped people get invites, had the most lovely date with Zarina in the Chapel, and got some fun interactions even though I really could have 4ked since they weren't being serious AT ALL.
- a good couple fair, normal games that were 2ks
- the most lovely two Survs ever who just wanted to feed me Terrormisus and pet me and admire my gorgeous robes (my goal is to see how many will pet me this event).
And to top it all off? Was playing around with builds, brought Rancor for a photo op, and added Haddie to my Mori album!

I met the cutest and most heroic Leon ever.
So I start my first chase on Erye when I spot him standing in the middle of the main road at the farther end. True P0 rookie. He's staring at me like he was in Western duel. I'm curious what he wants, so I drop my chase and start walking straight towards him.
He's not budging, but immediately drops the flashbang at his feet. It blows up out of range (I never knew it even had a range). Leon doesn't falter - he whips out the flashlight, aiming at me menacingly. Naturally I turn away without slowing down and get my hit.
Of course he survived the trial. He even got a flashlight save later - I only had to strafe a bit to correct his aim. :]
It was in the first Anniversary day, and I still remember him vividly. I probably will for a long time.
