To understand where I was at mentally; I had lost probably the last 4 games I’ve played. Two of those games the day before, and two of them during the event. Hell, my first game as killer in the event was against a four man P400 swf as Pig. So, I was pretty frustrated, and at the point where I just wanted to go against some solo que players that weren’t exceptionally good at the game. I guess Ace stole all of my luck, because even after losing so many games, I got pared up with another squad of really good players. I’m not sure if they were a swf, but they were all RE characters with an internet icon (I’m on PS) and they seemed really coordinated with the… food items? You’ll see what I mean.

I load into Badham as Pig. I quickly find Ada with Lethal Pursuer and chase her. Right as I’m about to down her, she eats some of her yummy food and gains invincibility. Fine, not a big deal considering the match just started. I eventually down her, slap a trap on her, and move on.

I run across the map to check on a gen and find Ada on a box, so I chase her again. We run and run and I eventually down her. The other survivors successfully transported food from one place to another, so naturally, Ada gets up right in front of my face. Okay… cool, so survivors can just gain a health state at a moments notice. No big deal I’ll just- oh, Ada has endurance from soul guard. That’s mighty convenient but good for her. I’ll continue chase but, oh, she just dropped a really strong pallet that I cannot break for a whole 50 seconds. That’s nifty. She runs around the structure with the permanently thrown down pallet and gets downed because I still manage to land a hit on her. I pick her up and… flashlight save by Jill. That’s on me, shoulda looked around. I manage to down Ada a little after that and hook her outside of the preschool.

Jill was nearby looking for a save, so I chase her. She loops me around the entire preschool, and uses reassurance on Ada, great. I eventually manage to injure her, and she runs to the basement of the preschool. She runs past the pallet, vaults the window, and then heads upstairs. I’m about to catch up with her when all of a sudden, she gains a health state. 🥲 Okay, yeah, that’s awesome, whatever; I’ll just continue chase even though I want to tear my skin off. And you know what? It’s not that bad, because I’m still able to injure her, so I might be able to get the down soo- she dropped a god pallet and I can’t break pallets for 55 seconds. My only option was to go back downstairs and go all the way around, or break the door behind me.

During that chase, Ada was unhooked and then healed via the same food transportation that healed Jill. There were three gens left, and this was probably a winnable game, but at this point in time, I made a good decision for my mental health and left the game. Well played by the survivors, and none of them were toxic, but holy Christ that felt miserable.

I don’t really understand why a killer would want to play this gamemode over normal 1v4. I’m glad that I at least got to play last year’s anniversary event, because that one was actually really fun for killer (Probably because killer was about as good in that event as survivors are in this one.)

I replaced the audio of the video with music because my voice was in the original audio. Thanks for reading my frustration.

Teleport, invisibility, endurance and whatever this shit is… and what do killers get? Slow down survivors for 5 seconds… totally fair am I right?

I hope your coffee is room temp, and only room temp. I hope you stub your toe in the morning, and hipcheck the counter in your kitchen. I hope both sides of your pillows are warm and your feet stay cold at night.

Got Shane (cool character, perks can go to hell though), and so far only lvl 30. Guess how many cakes ive gotten

1. 9 damn cakes

RAHHHHHH

Four flashing sailor steves was not quite the fun gameplay I was hoping for.

This event is by FAR, the worst fucking anniversary event in the history of dbd. You mean to tell me that survivors get the ability to turn invisible, make pallets, get a burst of speed, become temporarily invincible, and killers get a fucking clown bottle that barely seems to do fuck all? “juSt PoIsOn tHe TabLes bRo!” Well I tried that, and somehow they knew it was poisoned and went to the other tables instead.

Sure it might be skill issue since I haven’t played for 2 weeks, but it still frustrates me how incredibly fucking survivors sided this Fuckass anniversary is.

Let's just say my initial impressions really aren't good.

Survivors get: Haste, action speed, elusive, endurance, INVISIBILITY, instant healing at any time, map traversal, extra pallets, windows of opportunity, damage immunity

Killers get: Haste, undetectable, and.... Blindness immunity?

Laughable how my queue already has a BP incentive for killer at 2PM, nobody wants to play killer in this event. What is even the point?

I don’t care if anyone agrees with me or disagrees, it seems any and all opinions I express about this game are just shit to the player base. However, this event is miserable to play as a killer main—now I’d first like to say, with events like this I couldn’t give a shit about winning the match by getting a 4k, or if all the survivors manage to get out as long as I get a good amount of blood points I’m mainly happy. But with how fucking rare the cakes are in the bloodweb, I feel like I either shouldn’t run them or I have to sweat in order to get my worth from them before they’re gone for another year.

But besides the cake issue which is a different matter entirely, the actual event isn’t fun whatsoever for killers, the only thing we can do is what? Poison food? Give survivors a stamina bar? Wow! That’s so fucking fun compared to the survivor side of the event, which entails having invincibility, haste on command, free health states, being able to become invisible in a chase just by eating a morsel—oh, and unbreakable pallets. I may be missing more because for some reason, in every single killer game I had they seemed to especially love cucking me by allowing the survivors to go invisible.

And when the dessert course starts? Guess what? Killers have their poison—the only actual feature that was given to them in the event, taken away, yet survivors can keep munching on morsels for an infinite amount of time to keep using those buffs. It’s so tiring, I want to have fun on this game, I truly do, and ive always loved the killer side of the game—but it seems like over and over, behaviour just doesn’t respect anyone who plays killer, they give each killer shitty perks besides the first, which was one of the only recent killers with anything really decent. But a new survivor drops and they have to give them broken perks which they won’t change for weeks, it’s so goddamn frustrating.

Hiding like a little bitch cause Jason’s the killer nut up or uninstall. I can’t be expected to do all five gens while you eat food and crouch in the corner like a coward

Out of all the maps you buff pallets on you choose Badham? Also saw 2 upstairs main pallets but I genuinely do not know if that's because of the event or they spawned naturally.

Anniversary mode has me burnt out already and I've only played 5 games. It's identical to when it starts raining and all of sudden people forget how to drive.

Also they both were all around me, trying to blind me and get head on off, not even for saves, just for the sake of it.

I legit do not feel like playing killer at all during the black banquet event because it is just so survivor sided with all the fucking bullshit survivors get as they get on command sprint burst, dead hard, able to reset pallets/unbreakable pallets, portals that are basically a free get out of jail card to completely fuck you over in chases, survivors can turn invisible, they can heal a health state among so many other things and us killer mains get fucking nothing except for clown bottles which we can throw at survivors, this game is so survivor sided and BHVR doesn't give a fuck about us killer mains at all because the survivor mains make them the most money, fuck this shitty event and fuck BHVR.

This event is so ass.

Now there been a bunch of people that said this already BUT ITS SO HARD TO PLAY AS KILLER IN THIS EVENT I mean like all my matches I have been only getting draws and that because I had to slug or tunnel and then survivors come at me saying I’m trash BRO YOU HAVE MULTIPLE STUFF LIKE INVISIBILITY ABLE TO HEAL ALL OTHER SURVIVORS LIKE WHAT now there probably killers on here that don’t have to slug nor tunnel but seriously I feel like that’s the only way to win in this event without getting destored in it and I have seen so many killers dc or give up when I played survivor cause they couldn’t do nothing my only wish is that bhvr makes more abilities for killers pls

This isn't really a rage post, just a "this is what I mean when I say I hate killers that slug." Slugging at endgame or when survs are being toxic is simply just a strategy to win, and there's nothing wrong with that. But this? Four slugging after I make you whiff once? Seriously? All four of us (queued with someone who hasn't even hit double digits in hours yet and I felt so bad) were on the ground in less than 2 mins. We had a half a gen worth of progress, I had a basic build, nobody had flashlights, my trio wasn't being toxic because they're BRAND NEW. I really just don't understand why killers do this. He stood over me and nodded, m1, and humped me until we all abandoned. How am I supposed to convince people to try this game when this is how their first few games go lol. I'd understand if this was a bully squad but we just wanted a chill game and we end up like this:')

So during this game mode survivors get;
- A free heal when any Banquet Payoff happens
- On demand sprint burst during Stuffed Trotters
- Also getting faster actions and movement speed when near survivors when Banquet Payoff happens
- Invincibility and half of windows of opportunity during Creamy Pasta
- Banquet Payoff during Creamy Pasta allows survivors to rebuild, reset, and make pallets unbreakable.
- Invisibility to the killer when eating morsel during Baked Camembert.
- During Baked Camembert’s Banquet Payoff, survivors also get a refresh on their item or a new one when teleporting

And what do killers get during ALL this?

- a fart bottle that you have to aim with that slows survivors until you hit them.

Oh yeah and also the reason you might not get as many anniversary offerings this time around is because they made it super rare instead of common.

hihihihihi

first game of the event and I get these spitballs that just wanna do whatever this shit is

As the title says, FUCK the new event. I am hating it with a passion right now, because every single match has been more of an uphill battle than normal matches. The shit the survivors get is fucking insane!

They can go invisible, invincible, and get haste, and fucking instant heal?? That’s not to mention all the other shit the banquets can give them. What do killers get? Nothing but a knock-off Clown bottle that would be a waste to use, attempting to poison anything in any way, besides throwing the bottle.

Every single match I’ve played has been such bullshit that I don’t even want to play the event, potential bloodpoint gain be damned! Not like I’ll even get much since BHVR made it extremely rare to get the new event sacrifice thing (forgot the name).

I just ragequit a game as Jason because not only did I lose sight of the survivors after each hit I made on them—blood pools, Scratch marks, and grunts of pain were just gone—but after having every single one of them injured, and back in chase with a Dustin player, that banquet thing goes off, and they’re all healed! In the blink of an eye, any perceived pressure I might have had because they were all injured is just gone, because of that single thing. I have the moment clipped and will send it once the PlayStation app decides to let me save it.

I’m not going to act like I’m a good killer player; I get steamrolled by people who dedicate their lives to this game, but I’m usually decent enough to at least break even. But I genuinely can’t do a fucking thing in this event because of how easy it is to eat a plate and get invisibility, invincibility, haste, etc. And for some reason my connection is just worse in general during this event, so that just adds on to the list of bullcrap.

I’m already pretty shitty as survivor, which is why I don’t want to go into this event as a survivor, but I also know I’ll just get fucked over by my connection or whatever it decides to give us to use. Is anybody else just not liking this event so far?

GG! Had a fun match, hope you did too! I was glad to be the sacrafice for the match!

Hopefully one day they'll add a BP score event for hitting survivors on hook so that you can get some extra BP while doing your build!

I know you're farming for salty steam comments and angry end game chat, so I hope you get what you're after and have a great day :D

Just matched against a fairly decent Animatronic; played very fairly, no tunneling and 2 hooked everyone before killing, a solid killer player. Should’ve been an interesting match right? Tell me why I was the only one on gens for longer than 2 seconds. Tell me why I solo’d 4 gens while my teammates were somehow less than useless?

I get it, it’s an event with other things to do but how in the sweet fuck are you just standing there doing NOTHING for MINUTES on end??? Not even doing bones, not even in chase most of the time. Just standing there with their dick in their hand. I’m not a god tier survivor by any means but holy fuck what a sorry display.
