Toxicity


(HadronZodiac) #1

As i’m sure you know, this game has a rather toxic community (some games have it worse though so ._.). Idk why everyone thinks it’s necessary to spam NOOB VASILLI on forums, and rather childish stuff on others. Even in some games (before I uninstalled of course) there were some salty people. Whether it be because of the game or other people, its rather unnecessary, so here’s my question…

How can we fix it?

Doesn’t matter as long as plenty of others inexperienced players do - even if politely asked not to.

Not really. Not doing things that are known to rile others up would go a long way in reducing toxicity.

Sadly in many respects Dirty Bomb is toxic by design. Bronze players are matched with Cobalts in ranked, level 3 players have to face level 100+ players in casual, it’s possible to have 3 Vassili but no medic in team, it’s possible to have 6 or more Javelins, there’s an invisible merc that spread toxics taunts with keyboard shortcuts and so on.

screenshot your in-game profile for proof that you never play vasilli
we’re not trolling, we’re irritated to have a community member like you.

All online games have some degree of salt in their community. There’s nothing you can do to stop it, all you can do is ignore it or prevent its triggers if it’s really that much of an issue to you.

But more importantly, why are you still here when you said you were leaving? No offence, but when you hate almost everything about the game enough to go on your own toxic rant about it, I really don’t think this forum is for you. Everyone here is extremely dedicated to the game (as it is now mind you, more or less), and as evident by the comments on your last post, you’re going to have a pretty hard time fitting in here. I’d recommend the steam forums or reddit for more casual DB conversation, because frankly, there’s really not much you can do here after “leaving” the game in an angry rant.

lol, people treat OP like some politician : ‚but you said you are leaving, rant rant!’

The only real solution to toxicity is to acquire a detoxifier: spray it generously on the head of toxicity and make sure to finish it off before toxicity’s younger brother drama comes along and revives it!

Stay - fine, don’t stay - fine. If you can’t handle trash talk and trolling i suggest you spent less time online: ALL of internet is toxic, and DB is no worse then ANY online game ive ever played. Except maybe boardgamearena.com

Bring people together, including for an online game, and they’re still gonna act like people. If you want to avoid said "toxicity"you need to live in utopia/heaven or at least in isolation.


(martha_smith) #11

@HadronZodiac

, if you present any new idea about game , you’ll face massive toxicity …

& noob snipers are frustrating if they’re in your team in ranked

for childish stuff - they post it to get points … (which should be stopped)


(K1X455) #12

You need to be an

E F F E C T I V E

Vassily and not Vas-silly

to de-toxify the toxicity.

BTW, Hi @martha_smith

Heard news that you learned not to be bottom scorer lately.


(n-x) #13

@martha_smith you don’t face toxicity when your ideas are good. But how should you know…


(GatoCommodore) #14

probably nearly every forum member who cant take counter argument or a joke immediately make “Hurr toxicity, Toxic Forum, Toxic Player Base” thread/discussion and the rest of forum members who had been here probably since the start of DB have to fuggen listen to you?!

listen here ye wankah,

L I S T E N

you dont come here and ask crap to change, NO.

how do you like it if someone just barge into your room and demand that your bed, wardrobe, PC, table thrown out and let 5 hobos in because that guy WHO YOU DONT KNOW, WHO YOU JUST MET asked you to make changes to your room for reason you dont understand?

you kids dont get taught ethics or something?
THIS IS why people reacts negatively to you

what you should do is pretty fuggen simple.

you come here ask why some crap are this or that way!
you fuggen ask why this is this way, why that merc feels like this, why this weapon feels like this because there are reason behind all of that.

There is a reason why Phantom is crap
There is a reason why Aimee hitbox is fuggen small
There is a reason why Aura health station is tanky
There is a reason why the goddamn noobs are so keen on picking vasilli as their first merc
There is a reason why Javelin is Weaker compared to other fire support
There is a reason why Proxy pancake is not OP
There is a reason why the community is Ded
There is a reason why the shotguns act this way

ALL YOU HAD TO DO IS ASK “WHY?!”
NOT WHINE OR RANT OR TELL PEOPLE THAT DB SUCKS
WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING CRAPPY ABOUT THE GAME, WE WHINE TOGETHER.
WE DONT WHINE THINGS THAT ARE NOT WRONG IN THE FIRST PLACE.


(Theatrum) #15

Change to their team and play Vassili

@GatoCommodore Finally, a post that says my thoughts without me having to make a potential ass of myself! Thank you for saving me the trouble good sir!

Seriously though, the members of the community don’t typically have a problem answering questions. We do however tend to react poorly, and often harshly, to whining complaints that display a lack of understanding of the issue in question; this is, in part, a result of the track record of the developer’s response to such outcry in the past. We all get angry at things, we get salty; this game does seem to incite the inherent competitive nature we, as human beings, have. This is not the place to vent such frustrations though, the developers look here for actual critique and discussion about the game; pointless, and sometimes baseless, complaints and venting of personal issues have no place on this forum. There is customer support for that if you have some personal issue to complain about.

So yes, we will often react harshly to such posts; there is a good reason for it, one that holds weight and merit. If you don’t want these kinds of replies, or wish to keep them to a minimum as there will always be assholes on the internet, then keep rage-fueled rants out of your forum posts and be constructive. If you’ve done this in the past it will take time to alter peoples views on you, as you’ve already established a reputation with past posts; they’ll be less inclined to take your post seriously, and more so to view it as another instance of baseless whining, if you have done so.

P.S. This isn’t directed at any one person either, this is a general statement, one that I don’t feel is unreasonable. So if you took offense to this, sorry; but this is not about you, it’s about why this happens here in the first place.
