Instructions

some of you guys need this --- FOREWORD - This is not a guidebook on gameplay, nor a service on strategy. This text focuses on manners and politeness as you play the game. If you require gameplay advice, find a tutorial or something, because this isn't it. - Any derogatory comments are made lightheartedly and should not be taken offense to. The contents of this text are also not fact and any advice is well appreciated and will be taken into consideration. --- PART 1 - RESPECT YOUR SUPPORTS DUSEKKAR - If a Dusekkar is doing you the favour of protecting you during a chase, do them a favour back and don't lead the killer to them. - Don't get too far so that they can't see you either, for both of your best interests. (They want the exp, you want protection.) - If you aren't necessarily in danger and a Dusekkar is giving you a speed boost just for the heck of it, stand still. It's your fault if you're running around wasting stamina when you aren't even in danger, the Dusekkar wants the exp, and you get a bonus little speed boost. (Also, don't stare at them like it's their fault when they don't land the zap because you were being stupid.) - A Dusekkar will most likely find any sort of high ground in a main area, to be able to protect survivors, have a clear line of sight, and to stay away from danger. Do not gather near this Dusekkar, they find you very annoying. You're making their job harder. ELLIOT - Don't ask for pizza on 100% health. Nobody finds you amusing. Don't try to be. You'll regret it when a new Elliot actually does throw you a pizza. - If a pizza has been thrown, it is best to assume it is NOT for you, especially if you are >50% health. It will most likely be for the survivor who has the lowest health nearby. If that is not you, stay back. I'm talking to you, Shedletskys on 80% who steal the pizza from me while I'm being chased at 1%. (Bonus, if nobody is taking the pizza, and it is about to despawn, you may take it - the Elliot may be thankful for the rush hour.) - Thank the Elliot, if you aren't being chased. A simple "thx" or "ty vro" will do. Don't snatch a pizza, shove it in your mouth and move on. - Got a medkit? The Elliot needs it more than you. Unless you have multiple Elliots on your team, it's in your best interest to ask for a pizza and preserve your support. Exceptions can be made, but in many cases, such is the expectation. --- PART 2 - NEW PEOPLE - If you come a Noob/Elliot/Shedletsky who seems to be playing mindlessly, do not be rude. Rude server members are the push factor for many people trying to get into the game. Offer your support, give them advice, and if you have no other input other than being rude, then stay silent. - While Jason bullying is undeniably very fun, being a new killer is a stressful experience. Stunning, emoting, and Taph-trapping the guy are forgivable, but please do not throw out snarky comments - a "good game" or maybe some advice is all you'll need. - Remember that you, too, were once a beginner. Do not expect people to be immediately skilled at things. No matter if you've M4ed every survivor and killer, you have no right to be egotistical with newer players. (We desperately need good fandom members. Please, don't scare people off. The Doublefedora shippers already do that. Don't wanna end up like the Dandy's World fandom now, do we?) --- PART 3 - LITERALLY JUST BE NICE - Sweep the server as killer? Good for you. Don't boast about it, though. A simple "gg" will suffice. Being arrogant is the most annoying thing you can do, and might get you targeted. - Get an easy win as survivor? Also good for you. Again, don't boast. Genuinely, reading "ez" has to be the most blood boiling, soul crushing things on the planet. Relish your win, hold your tongue. - "(survivorname) isn't helping the team!!!11!!" If it's not blatant, no need to complain about it. Sure, it's good to call out blatant unhelpfulness and reportable offenses. But if an Elliot's doing generators most of the time instead of always being in the heat of the chase ready to throw a pizza, and YOU'RE complaining, then you're the problem. - Speaking of which, don't be excruciatingly unhelpful. Teaming, targeting or exploiting ruins the game, and do your best to do your job. - You just saw a Shedletsky miss their sword. Funny? Yes, absolutely. But don't bully the poor guy for it. Same goes for any survivor, or even killer. It's entertaining, but don't dog on anyone. - If you see someone really skilled, compliment them! It's a great way to spread general good vibes. Just a simple "your juking is really good" or "m4 on guest? respect" will do. It's a lot better than sitting and writhing in your own envy. - And always remember - Forsaken is NOT that deep! If you fumble, nobody really cares, no need to rage. You'll probably never see the same people again (if you're in a randomised public). --- Thank you for reading!
