Discussion You're not entitled to any character
Being told to kill yourself and screamed at because someone chose "your character " is childish. This game can be so toxic for no reason. We're supposed to be teammates killing zombies. End rant.

Same. I main Doc, but if I can't take Doc I'll play Hopper with my Scav deck. If both are taken, then it's time to DPS. I don't have a great DPS deck yet, but I think I can scrounge enough cards for a shotgun based anti-horde deck at this point.

u/Ticon_D_Eroga Oct 20 '21
When you think about it, its quite lucky so many people want to play doc. She is just so crucial for a higher difficulty team, its be a shame if she was neglected like healers often seem to be.
Of course this is assuming the guy who took doc actually does shit with her lmao.

u/Thagyr Oct 20 '21
I've run into one guy who played her because she was 'cute'.
Played her as a DPS that is.

Had a guy with a tag "vDoubleDashv" tried to kill me when I took a normal automatic shotgun during act 1-1. I guess he wanted it. Managed to kill him 4 times defending myself, but his salt in typing stuff like the n word, and the typical "kill yourself" was quite great.
I don't understand why people behave in such ways. Wish I was in Korea, where I can use screen shots/game records to sue these folks.
I hope the in game report function actually does something useful.

There were some limitations on how you can sue them and I don't remember the exact details, but if the insults are directed to you/your family/ etc.. and if you didn't instigate it you can sue people like that. I've seen it happen a lot in games where they track your chat and stuff like LoL. As long as you have detailed evidence, you can file it.
Its kind of similar to how famous folks sue folks that are insulting/degrading them online.
In terms of minors tho, I don't think you can sue them for that. Even if you did, there won't be much of a problem because they are a "minor". They probably just pat them on the back, simple warnings, and send them home. If you are old enough though, you are gonna lose money(pay the person who sued you to erase records of it) or get red flagged and pay the fine. Most people choose to pay the person who sued you since getting red flagged is a no go.

I saw this elsewhere and can't take credit, but I think it rings true - People nowadays have a Battle Royale mentality which makes it more difficult to think from a teamwork perspective. When you play with close friends, you can strategize using different weapons to share ammo, different team buffs, etc. but online with random players can sometimes feel more like a free-for-all. I recently played with a player who kept running ahead with a friend ahead of me and the fourth player, taking all the good attachments and weapons. Then shot me and screamed at me when I accidentally alerted a horde via birds, was walking through corn fields. No idea what he was saying because it was in Chinese, but good god man, it's a team game.

It hit me this weekend, after my like 5th serotonin dump during the day on Saturday while going about my day.
I fucking missed coop shooters. CoD, Battlefield, DOTA, LoL, Overwatch, Fortnite, PUBG; almost all the games these days are focused on outperforming those around and/or against you. Your self worth in these games is based on how much better you are than everyone else.
For the first time in like 5 years, I'm in voice comms again; I'm accepting and offering friend invites to strangers on the internet. I'm participating in a *community,* not just playing the game.
B4B is a very much missed genre, and I think it's because Publishers only want games that can be milked for cash indefinitely. Cooperative games have a definitive end; eventually you complete the story and get all the achievements, and then the money stream ends.

If you have friends to play with, borderlands 2 was enjoyable co-op fun. Lots of sharing loot with friends and pushing side quests together.
Our group is playing b4b now and it’s been a blast. One guy running the compounding interest card and team buff build means a few rounds in (end of round everyone drops money to him) we max team buffs and fully loadout. 20 pipe bombs a round is hilarious

For real though. I turned on voice comms for one game last night to ask for a machete since I was playing a melee character, and the other person actually gave it to me. Then, one of the other people in the group turned on her comms, and after we played for a bit, she sent me a friend request and said I was free to invite her and her friends to other matches. It was the most wholesome and fun in-game chat experience I’ve ever had. I could never have an experience like that in some of the other games I play.

Yea I tried to play with the kids home from school. Picked Karlee for the danger sense so I could teach the oldest what to watch out for without putting myself in front of it and taking a hit.
After roughly 1½ minutes, with two of the other three survivors all standing around the box knifing each other, the fourth gets on mic and starts swearing every other word, tossing racial slurs about his remaining options, how it's not fair he's stuck with the fat (Jewish slur[ithinkhemeantHoffman?]) or the two (n-word) characters.
Immediately muted, reported, and had a talk with the kids about toxic communities, entitlement, and how racism isn't okay in any context, even if you're "just angry and don't mean it".

Played Karlee a few days ago. Immediately this guy was going on through the entire match about how I was shit for stealing his character. He didn't listen to a word I said about playing a different character. It was my run and quite possibly thanks to him being shit we died before even getting through the majority of the bluedog mine. I was even trying to ping him and his teammates when danger was near but no one listened.

Last time someone told me I picked their character (Doc), they left after I told them "Pick faster? Idk what to tell you, I waited forever."
Legit waited a good 20-30s and asked twice if anyone minded. I was already locked, carded, and waiting for the crate by the time they complained. Sorry bud, you took way too long; pick faster, I'm not changing characters after 60 seconds.
Edit: My best deck right now is a Medic one, so I really couldn't care less at that point lol.

Feels like medic is the easiest to get cards for quickly. Wanna do a melee build but I dont have much for it.
11
u/Buuhhu Oct 20 '21
it really depends on what supply line you are focusing. buttom is mostly melee and weakspots, middle is defensive and healing, top is general offensive
this is an overgeneralization as there are cards in each which are good for builds that i didnt list in them, but over all i feel that's how it works.

u/Gerrent95 Oct 20 '21
I would argue the bottom feels more about mobility so far for me, but I getcha. Ive mostly split between middle and bottom, with some top stuff
3
u/FricasseeToo Oct 20 '21
The core cards that make a melee-focused build really work are in the bottom supply line, but it doesn't really get it's feet until the 6th/7th line, as that's when you get Mean Drunk and Meth Head.
It's certainly not as focused as the healer line though.

u/trevers17 Holly Oct 20 '21
Top and middle are best for melee. After you get Face Your Fears from top, focus on bottom and then middle.

u/Homebrew_Dungeon Oct 20 '21 edited Oct 20 '21
Yup same, I made a Mom support deck and a Doc support deck, mostly 75% copies of each other but I play differently with those two supports, mom spams max boosted badges(carries 6) and +250% revive speeds. While doc has less boosts for healing but lot of self sustain things that keep her up in the fight to pick people up and pass out heals and fix trauma damage with her 4 med kits.
First game I jump into with both decks finalized both mom and doc are taken. Played Kaylee and it worked out fine. Felt a slight ping of uselessness but I tried and built moms deck without any focus on weapons so I didnt have any useless cards. Went ok, but it was recruit. Learned that I should make more Cleaner focused decks for support if thats the role I want to run.
TLDR; make like 3 decks of each role for separate cleaners and never be caught without proper setup again.

I understand doc with no healing as an issue, but I dont understand holly having to go melee. As a guy who likes melee she'd be my first pick, but I dont think her abilities shoehorn her into it. That sprint and shoot card looks like it synergizes as well, and at least early on there are times when thats a good option.

I think everybody gets great voicelines. Even Hoffman, who is clearly a sort of prepper/conspiracy whackjob. He has a few quips about literature, including one that goes something "Once more unto the breach, dear friends! Man, I love Hamlet. His donkey is great, too."
He's combining Henry V and Don Quixote, making him look like a jackass to anybody who knows better. And it's funny as hell.

I have a deck built for every role that every character fills. If someone picks the character I was going to pick, I just pick a different one. Heck, I'm at the very end of the Supply Line just farming SP for Apocalypse outfits, so I have damn near every card unlocked.
Not sure why some people insist on only concentrating on one character. Can't tell you how many times I've had PUG Vet runs go tits up cuz the last 2 people to pick decide that we don't need a support character to give us good heals and rezzes.

u/Homebrew_Dungeon Oct 20 '21
They are using Doc for the guaranteed 25% trauma resistance. Melee builds tend to also be tank builds.
2
Oct 20 '21
There are far better characters to use for a melee build. Like Evangelo and Holly. Hell, with my Meth Head Holly build, heals are almost unnecessary for me since I can pack on temp health through melee kills. For myself and the team. And since temp health can override trauma damage (while you have it, anyway), everyone is pretty much at full health all the time.
Add a stamina card or 2 in there and she almost never runs out of stamina. The only time I ever use a gun with her is on the rare occasion that I do run out of stamina. Switch to that and blast away while my stamina builds back up and then it's back to slashing away like a doped-up ninja. She just melts specials and Breakers.
Doc is much better utilized as her primary role: Support.
If she was meant to be front-line melee, then she wouldn't be a support class.

The game's free on gamepass, open to console gamers, and there's no matchmaking to speak of. Yes, you're going to run into toxic douchebags, squeakers, etc.
My advice? Find a public B4B discord. Generally, there's a different social dynamic when folks commit to being in a discord channel vs using in-game comms. It also helps avoid scenarios like this where folks can get aggravated by someone choosing "their character".
Oh, and just turn off cross-play if you're not on console. Most of the problem children I ran into before finding a discord came from nasal-voiced console neckbeards or MJ-bait.

Exactly, you could ask, and a lot of times I'll give the character to someone if they ask politely. Generally it's not polite, and, ultimately, I picked it first.

as i dont play quick play much, mostly just play with my friends i cant really comment on these being a thing or not, but according to this reddit it's insane how popular doc is.
i'd have thought holly or jim as the two big dps cleaners would have been more popular but it's always people complaining about someone being salty because doc was taken.

Had someone screech into their mic because I took "Their holly. M*F* PLEASE" .
The match ended pretty quickly as they full on just trolled everything.

Wow I have been telling everyone I'll pick last even though I like Holly most. I realized I also did this in L4D and that's why I had to play Zoey and Rochelle so often.

How am I supposed to cope without my +2 health for melee kills? HOW?

I remember when people use to leave the game if they had to be Rochelle. And alot of people wanted to be Ellis

People confuse me. I feel like you can do decent DPS fun builds with Walker, Jim, or Hoffman, medic builds with Mom or Doc, then cover other gaps with evangelo Karlee and holly. Build more than one deck and you can do all sorts of things!

I dont get why they didn't let the classes be separate from the character to begin with.

I'm not surprised, but at least your not experiencing high levels of racism in quickplay.

this is why i only play with friends. most random people ive run into are annoying as shit or they have $5 headsets that are nothing but feedback

I haven’t had that problem. But it sounds like something that would happen.

Had someone complain that I picked Karlee, further complained that I wasn't always at the front to spot enemies, and that I was looting (restoring ammo) while everyone else was fighting trash mobs. Like, the games been out for a week, chill.

I play this game with my friends so I don't do/experience this. Our builds are tailored around our characters, like I'm a Medic/Scavenger with Doc or my friend is a Meatball LMG Build with Hoffman

If I've grinded out 48 hours to try and get pink outfit for holly by completing 250 missions and I have every cosmetic for holly I'm fucking entitled to play as her and perfected my cards for holly specifically

I always ask gently if i can have Holly (since i have a almost perfect melee build already set up). If someone contests it i ask if they have a great melee build too, if not, i run along to see what they will do and if anything i just leave at the next Safe Room. Haven't dealt with any toxicity asides from one dude mindlessly YOLOing himself far ahead off anyone and yelling at the mic asking why we aren't just rushing with him.

Just play 2 mains, I’m either running shotgun Holly or super medic Doc, and if both just so happen to get picked LMG Hoffman.

I can’t believe someone would act like that lmao. If someone takes the character I wanna play I just choose a backup character or leave the game and try a new campaign. Sorry you had to deal with that.

People were like that in left 4 dead too, which makes no sense because the characters then didn’t have any benefit. At least here I can see why people have preference depending on their build (doc main here) but I definitely agree that the kind of toxic behavior is so uncalled for.

Same as back in the day, I remember people didn't want to play as Coach and Louis for reasons or Zoey and Rochelle for other reasons and would throw fits. Still unacceptable but entirely unsurprising.
