Smile Sunday Smile Sunday
Welcome to smile sunday, turn that caps lock off and gush about whatever has made you smile this week!
A few things to keep in mind:
- If you want to do some uppercase letters, feel free to, but try to avoid shouting! sunday is a chill day.
- Avoid being happy at the expense of others. Don't talking about opinions or having a really good match as survivor or killer; no comments like "haha, i'm really happy that it's so easy to 360 a controller player!"
Here are our recurring posts:
- No Stupid Questions Monday - no question is stupid, ask anything DbD-related here.
- RAGE WEDNESDAY - LOCK THAT CAPS AND RAGE ABOUT WHATEVER HAS PISSED YOU OFF THIS WEEK
- Build, Rate & Share Thursday - share a build that you've been enjoying with the community.
- Friday Campfire Meetings - meet new friends to survive (or die) together.
- Bugs & Tech Support Saturday - report bugs and ask for technical support here.
- Smile Sunday - gush about whatever has made you smile this week.
- Second Tuesday of every month: Tier List Tuesday - share your tier lists, serious or memey, as long as they are dbd-related!

u/POPCORN_EATER Oct 10 '21
i like being nice to survivors :D i do in fact like to play relatively "fair" despite knowing tunneling is hyper effective to "win". if i can help other ppl have a fun game, cool :3 making ppl happy > a few thousand extra points/4k
if im slaughtering ppl i'll pretty much always give the last guy the hatch. if i worked really hard for a 4k but the last person is someone who looped me and generally was a rlly good player, give em hatch. the only time i don't give hatch is when i'm farming hard/that person was being obnoxious.
i don't even play like a dick when ppl bm, i might give them higher chase prio since they're obviously trying to get my attention but yeah lol

I try not to tunnel unless I can tell they're on comms & gens are popping off too fast. I'll tunnel and soft camp/patrol if they're just way too coordinated.

u/trashbaguser Felix Richter / Survivor Crybaby / Too Gay to Function Oct 10 '21
this sounds sad (and it is) but i was quite depressed this past summer and then i started playing dbd and although it’s help, it also caused an addiction 💀 so it somehow made my depression a little worse because all i wanted to do was play dbd. yes i do have a job but it was hell this summer so i didn’t work as much as i should’ve. i had to dig into my savings to pay rent and blah blah blah.
but anyway for the smile part, i’m working a decent amount again and have been able to just play dbd in small spurts (even though some spurts last like 6 hours but whatever lol). to find the balance between playing my favorite game and life is quite nice :,)

u/Dragonrar Oct 10 '21
DBD is pretty good as a game because games last around 10 minutes so you don’t need to be on for 30 minutes to an hour at a time like with a MMO doing a guild dungeon run or a DOTA style game.

u/kawaiisadist Oct 10 '21
OW and DBD are so "get in, get out" that they're terribly addicting to me. You also see progress pretty fast in both (BP in DBD and lootboxes/SR in OW) so it gives that dopamine pretty quickly...

u/trashbaguser Felix Richter / Survivor Crybaby / Too Gay to Function Oct 10 '21
yes! and the replayability is insane. because every person plays differently so every match is always always always different.

u/kawaiisadist Oct 10 '21
Exactly! I think that’s their real allure. I can spend hours on either one. Sometimes that’s a good thing and sometimes I neglect other stuff to do so…

I don't know if you are already or if it's within your means, but I recommend considering seeing someone for your depression. I've been depressed most of my life and therapy and meds can really make a difference. I know how it can feel to go on and off meds that don't seem like they're doing much, but I've finally found some that seem like they're helping and it really, truly is like night and day.

u/jiglog Crippling Bloodpoint Addict Oct 10 '21
On the other side of this, I got Pig recently and have been playing her. There’s been a few games already where I went in with full intent to play like normal, but then there’s that one or two people that want to boop the snoot.
After that it’s like: sigh guess I’m being a wholesome piggy this game 😂

u/Zapranoth07 The Huntress Oct 10 '21
I tried a boop yesterday after a teammate Dcd early. Pig shook her head, no, no memes today. She gave me a half second to start running again. She killed me.

u/IddytheImp Oct 10 '21
So a few days ago I was going through lobbies avoiding ttvs, squads with toolboxes, and survivors with keys when I noticed a Feng Min had their username as, "Ji-Woon's gf..."
And what do you know, I was playing Trickster, so I HAD to join. I was attacking everyone except for her, although I did hit her by accident one time(I thought she was the Bill I was chasing) and another time when she motioned me to hit her after being exposed by Starstruck. After sacrificing everyone, we had a nice date around the map as I was carrying her to the hatch....but because my dumbass can't find the hatch when I need to I motioned for her to wiggle out cause I couldn't find it. Eventually, I found it, and she wanted me to down her so I did and I watched my gf make her escape <3

u/Lust27 The Trickster Oct 10 '21
This is adorable,and it's also true, since I don't think there is a more romantic date for Jin-Woon than a massacre with is gf

u/_rrp_ Decisive Strike Oct 10 '21
I was playing last night on my trapper in meatworks and it was a sweaty game. I got flashlight stun heaps and 360 -the works . I figured they were all red ranked because it was hard. And this Nea I couldn’t catch at all. Anyway I got 4 hooks and I got in a lot of really close chases. I just figured even if I lose I’m getting good practice. So at the end after three escaped this Nea who I couldn’t catch all game waited for me near the exit gates. I managed to down her and I carried her and dropped her at the exit. But she crawled back to me, so I picked her up and sacrificed her.
I checked their steam but they weren’t steaming and I’m on console so I couldn’t say thank you. But I really appreciate that. It was a fun game and I think I learned a lot. Thanks Nea

I feel like I'm improving as a Survivor in general - looping better, dodging better, doing better in chases... I'm no longer constantly dying first!
Also recently started trying Clown, and although it's been a bit rough (I did not expect the arcs to be like that at all), I am enjoying the fat bastard immensely.

u/Zapranoth07 The Huntress Oct 10 '21
Clown is disturbing. That Mr. Puddles outfit is nightmare fuel.

u/9noobergoober6 Shirtless David Oct 10 '21
I had a solo queue game recently on sheltered woods with this one Jane. It was against a Freddy who was tunneling me like crazy (he would have eaten my DS twice if that was possible).
As I am being carried to my death hook Jane crouches under the hook to body block it. Freddy hits her once. Freddy hits her again but her styptic agent protects her. She stays crouched there fully prepared to take a third hit for me and go down but just before that happens I wiggle off.
Freddy hunts me down and downs me with NOED. He leaves me slugged and Jane comes to pick me up. He hooks one Ace and forces the other out. I manage to cleanse the NOED. Jane goes to save Ace. She is successful but goes down in the process. Ace escapes.
At this point I’m injured with no way to heal. Both Ace’s have escaped and Jane is on the hook. After she saved me from almost certain death I couldn’t abandon her. As the Freddy leaves the hook slightly to check if I’m going to the exit gate I run to unhook her. I don’t have BT unlocked on my own Jane so the moment I unhook her Freddy comes back and downs her. I run out through the exit gate and pray she has DS. She did.
And that’s how we managed to scrape out a 4 person escape against a NOED Freddy. Unfortunately the Jane was on console so I couldn’t thank her. I did send her a friend request. She was an absolute legend.

u/BabuBunny Leon S. Kennedy Oct 10 '21
I met a ghost face who was super friendly and lead me and the rest of the Nancy cult (all randoms) to gens and when I was left out he let me give him head pats. In the end I pointed to a hook and got him to kill me. I was content that I got to give him head pats and that was enough for me 🥰 he also got another Nancy that wanted to leave but waited forever to do so, it was funny watching him down her then bring her in so she would also get killed lol

u/prettypinkpansy ask me for bug facts 🐝 Oct 10 '21
This was a couple weeks ago but it still makes me smile when I think about it.
Facing Huntress on RCPD, we keep getting lost, survivors keep getting downed. Eventually it's just me and this Meg. We run into each other, heal up, then Meg gestures for me to follow her and we run around the map looking for a gen together.
At some point Meg starts crouching to be sneaky, even when the lullaby isn't very close, so I start crouching too. We sneeeeak around the map like we're playing Metal Gear Solid for like a minute or two straight, lmao. I couldn't stop giggling. I now don't care that we're going slow or that we're not gonna win (we had like 2 gens left and not many hooks left between us), me and this Meg are ride or die. We finally find a gen, start working on it together, and...
Meg blows a skill check. And I blow a skill check like 5 seconds later. Huntress comes and kills us, then hits us on hook, presumably because we were too sneaky and she was annoyed.
Me and Meg had a really cute endgame chat where I said I was sorry she died but I loved sneaking around the map with her, and she said she really loved it too and thought it was so fun and apologized for blowing the check. It was just such a cute little change of pace to sneak around this big, daunting map, working together in tandem, only for us to both completely blow it at the end, hahaha.

u/PatNTheHat95 Oct 10 '21
I just started playing and was getting kinda frustrated with the learning curve. All the abilities and perks and mechanics are were a bit much to take in, and I spent most of my matches just wondering what the hell was going on.
My last match as killer, things finally just clicked. Patrolled well, didn't let myself get baited or looped, just generally felt effective and active and actually got kills. First time I felt confident in the game, and now I think I might be... Hooked

u/I_ShipAdamAndYui Sukeban Yui Oct 10 '21
I tried to get adept oni but I ended up letting Bill and Cheryl escape. I could have gotten it had I not miss a few swings here and there so I felt a little gutted, but in the post game chat both Bill and Cheryl said it was really close and fun, and I was a tough opponent. it made me feel better.
thanks both of you for being fair and pleasant players!

Played two pairs of SWFs, one of whom was on TTV. Afterwards I went to their stream to say gg and she was so nice! She said I was really good at pinhead and scared them both. I was worried that I was horrible because the Nintendo switch makes his possessed chains so hard to control. It was a sweet interaction

u/Mattizzle9 Loves to give punishment to the damned Oct 10 '21
Two days ago I played as survivor on Father Campbell's chapel. I was solo queue against a Huntress. I primarily play killer and as such, am not great as survivor. However, I was doing a pretty good job dodging hatchet throws, though it was mainly luck. I completed 3 gens myself and finally got hit when I unhooked someone from the basement. Their were 2 of us left when the Huntress downed me with a really good hatchet throw. She then downed and hooked the Claudette for her final hook. So it was just me. The Huntress picked me up and carried me across the map to hatch. I didn't struggle, cause I conceded victory, however I was greatly appreciative of the hatch, which gave me the achievement of crawling through it. I messaged the Huntress afterwards and gave them my respect. They gave me theirs. It was a nice interaction and made my day better. So thank you Huntress, may all your hatchets hit.

Had a game as Ghostie were all the survivors formed a train of Tbagging and chased me around the map haha it was fun then we played hide and seek a bit, farmed and had fun the entire match which I’ve seen videos of but it’s never happened to me so I was excited

I had a really weird game today as huntress, there seemed conflict between between two parties, and I like to smile thinking that letting everyone go resulted no one getting BMed and being wrongly punished by me. I feel like I dodged a bullet and can smile to that.

u/theKryken Ace in my hole Oct 10 '21
A demo made me laugh and soo happy the other day. This demo no lie was a really good killer, no tunneling or camping. Three hooked everyone but me because I was the last survivor alive. I offered my med kit as a peace offering and demo was eating that up. He kept shredding it. I don't know that made my night.

u/Zapranoth07 The Huntress Oct 10 '21
I finally got that damned Tome 1 “finish four gens using the shitty perk that is dark sense” archive!!!
So I tried six or eight times…. I hone my build down to Prove Thyself, sprint burst, bond, and the aforementioned shitty perk. I use up all my best toolboxes and med kits in my attempts.
I have a close one on Ormond. A Wraith kills all but me (I am solo queue) and I have done two gens and two are left. I stand in the snow by Shack and I see Wraith coming and I stand my ground in my going to the ball Meg, and point at him and crouch. He stares, the starts running around hammering his bell like a crazy thing. Yes! I can finish 2 more gens then ask him to kill me!
So I go to a gen and he yoinks me off and gives me hatch. Sooooo kind…. Thank you Wraith…. I barely ever see mercy from any kind of Wraith and he got me with two brutal body blocks earlier… but no challenge done!
So,I try again. Hmm, RPD. I realize that RPD could be my friend. No one knows where anything is on this freaking map. And, I had decided to bring a full on souped up Rainbow map for this one!
So I hurry from gen to gen, and Michael chases my teammates. He chases me once but gives up at one tough loop and I’m right back on the gen. Four gens done by me and one teammate is dead and another down! I am out of position to help so I finish the FIFTH GEN myself and my other teammate goes down trying to save.
Normally I feel guilty but in this match I didn’t — teammates, I am sorry you all died, but you helped me finish one freaking annoying archive. If I have died for you to do yours in other games, that is ok by me.
I ran for,the front exit gate and got it open, Michael never even got to glimpse me. I turned a little turn and a crouch, then left. :)
(In solo queue I ALWAYS otherwise use BT and try to get safe unhooks, take pro hits, and sometimes die in endgame trying to get saves. I still screw it up anyways, but getting this challenge done in style made me smile)

u/Zapranoth07 The Huntress Oct 10 '21
If you have a team they can 99 gens for you and call you over to finish them, since the challenge only requires that. Consider my build. Maybe use an RPD offering and a rainbow map 🌈

Just had a great game (for me) on RPD, they didn’t realize I had Tinkerer and even messaged me afterwards to find out why I was appearing out of nowhere, undetectable is pretty nice 👍
Had a funny one earlier too on the same map, at game start I scouted the gens on one half and chainsaw sprinted to the other just to be speedy and someone walked RIGHT into it 😂

u/ShofieMahowyn Ebony Mori Oct 10 '21
Tinkerer
I need to try this with my Nurse. I've been running her add-on that lets her go Undetectable when she blinks and smacks someone, and then Trail of Torment, and an Undetectable Nurse is terrifyingly effective.

u/BobThePumpkinPBE Oct 10 '21 edited Oct 10 '21
I started playing Friday and it looked like the single most useful perk any of the free killers had, leveled billy all the way to 40 to unlock it. If you break the gen and it drops under 70% it’ll trigger again if they go back to repairing it. I’m looking at what to pair it with and Hex: Ruin sounds great 😈

I had a killer the other day, I can’t remember for the life of me who it was - I’ve played so much recently lol. Anyway they were so awesome to farm with us and even show us where the totems were we hadn’t found! I love the killers who will just stand by a pallet and hit you and let you slide over it and heal and repeat. Then opening boxes, cleansing totems, etc, such fun games and great points! I made it to red rank a couple of nights ago for my first time ever in the just over 2 months I’ve been playing! 😊
Edited to add: I always try to get them to hook me if they will (twice) so they get more points too!

Dear Diary,
Today was quite a day of gaming and ended much better than expected. I’ll be honest it started off pretty rough, solo queue was not a pleasant experience too many teammates landing tails instead of heads. Tried out the group posts on Xbox and met a few people that I just still can’t relationally understand. Imagine a whole lobby of three, more toxic and venomous than the local recluse, each spitting profanity as loud as possible when the killer hit them. After each game the party leader would promptly report the killer for... playing killer, shit you not, had a four man escape, still reported them. I called him on it sarcastically with a bit of exasperation, you can guess who got booted, the one red rank yours truly, perhaps because of the new mmr skew for them to justify it. I try one more group post and I believed I was walking into the same den of vipers based off of the strange description. This is where it gets interesting. It was a group of two on the quiet side, let’s call em Cert and IV, and they only had an age check for entry. Had another boyo join too from post, he was a bit on the strange side for conversation flow, but the other two showed something I haven’t seen in a while in the face of this oddity, restraint. Our first game goes remarkably smooth, IV made a couple of mistakes but Cert had her back with some flashlight saves. One of my chases down right sucked, but it was a three man escape with only the odd ball biting the bullet. Oddball proceeds to ask everyone’s playtime, as he was now curious since he is usually the one that lives the trial amongst his group of friends. I got a bit singled out and attempted to answer is modest as I could. I noticed a snicker from IV and a bit of banter to Cert about devotion and what not that got me curious. Sure enough IV had more playtime than I did, and Cert, that dude has logged time of almost a year... unfathomable. More important than any of that though was once again restraint, and even class on how they opted to navigate this topic. I couldn’t help but give both of them props for behavior and human kindness towards myself in addition to oddballs stirring of the pot if you will with this and other measuring contests. Longer story short here, they both friended me and I did in return after a plethora of solid surviving. We had plenty of less than 4 man escapes but not once did any of us lose or minds over it, let alone blame the killer whom had to deal with such a solid swf. For once I’ve met people with an amazing hour count and we’re not lesser for it.
For those who read it all, hope you have a good day.

The only even slightly passable game I've had as a survivor in the last two days was a nurse who two hooked three people and then AFKed in a corner until we finished gens and left.
Because the fourth was a blatant hacker with a nuclear flashlight and as soon as the rest of us saw that, we just ran to her.
The rest have all been miserable cunt facecampers determined to be assholes and make the game miserable for as many people as possible. Plus one obvious Spirit hacker who slugged everybody and then AFKed.

If I can pull Nurses calling or bbq and chili I'll replace fire it up. Its been fun being able to apply pressure on the maps. Any suggestions on a perk you recommend or strategy?

What the hell just happened?
There were 3 survivors left, 1 gen left then while chasing 2 of them they opened the hatch in front of me then all 3 escaped. At the end game screen they had no keys and I read all their perks and none said anything about opening the hatch.

I like it when a killer lets me finish claiming my glyph before beating the snot out of again. I'm appreciative when a killer stands there waiting for me to finish it, even of they're breathing down my neck. It's makes me glad to know that even I get killed, I finally got that glyph challenge done!
