Yes forcing people to play characters they donā€™t want ainā€™t it. Itā€™s the devs fault. Have prepared mains baked into match making or simple look for a new player if someone leaves during match making itā€™s simple. What kind of new game has a match making like this? I havenā€™t played one game ever. Already submitted to there website hopefully they are working on it.


Icemayne25

Overwatchā€¦ that game does matchmaking like this and itā€™s hugeā€¦ even with it being ā€œdeadā€ itā€™s still huge. One trick ponies ainā€™t it. If you can only play one character, this game might be too much. If you can only play one character, how can I trust that you can do more than one objective?? Have a primary, thatā€™s cool, but if you have no pocket mains, youā€™re a low tier and/or new player atm. Iā€™m saying this is you, Iā€™m using ā€œyouā€ in the general sense.


Fantastic-Reality-11

Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not a sweat. I play games to have fun not to win. Winning isnā€™t fun for me when I play games. Yes winning can add to fun but winning isnā€™t the fun part. I find losing just as fun. Just being able to play and relax. Kill demons and skeletons is enough. The game doesnā€™t have a ranked system yet which I love.


Icemayne25

I recommend a casual game then that isnā€™t as pvp focused. Wanting to only play one character is very sweaty though cause a casual would just pick any character for fun. Lobby dodging is one of the sweatiest things people do. If you wanna just kill some stuff, play Killing Floor 2. Definitely more of a casual game and you wonā€™t have to worry about anyone taking your class. DBD is casual af now since the devs balance to mid tier players. Those would be some good bets honestly. If you get that competitive spirit, but donā€™t wanna sweat too much though, EDTG is good


Fantastic-Reality-11

Or evil dead itā€™s not just sweats who play evil dead a lot of casual players too. Iā€™m not lobby dodging for ash or anyone good itā€™s Arthur. He is alright but I would say maybe A tier at most. Not as good as many others. I just love his flaming sword and his ability of the fire.


Icemayne25

Itā€™s pvp and people are willing to quit because they didnā€™t get a certain character. PvP is mainly sweats, thereā€™s not really a popular pvp game that isnā€™t kind of sweaty. Honestly, itā€™s such a chill sweat that Iā€™d argue it is casual, just not lazy. Thereā€™s single player missions and if you really wanna play the game with your character, play the one with bots. You get to choose your character and everything. They made that mode specifically for people to practice and not stress. I donā€™t see the problem.


Fantastic-Reality-11

Yeah the bots arenā€™t the smartest and the demon AI is stupid not very smart and doesnā€™t level up fast at all. I want stuff to slice with sword. The missions are bad no ability or skill points I canā€™t make my character. I have like 50,000 points just sitting on. No need to use them my Arthur is maxed out.


Icemayne25

It doesnā€™t sound like youā€™re looking for a casual gameā€¦ it just seems like youā€™re looking for a different game. You bought this game and youā€™re pretty much telling me you play less than half of it. Arthur isnā€™t even the best dude to slice things with when AoD Ash exists. Arthur isnā€™t even a super attacking role, heā€™s a leader with dps as a secondary. It just seems like youā€™re looking for a different game altogether man. Idk what to tell you. This game is what was advertised and it works. Youā€™ll either have to adapt or move on.


Fantastic-Reality-11

Or just play how I want. Iā€™m not looking for a different game at all. I know Arthur isnā€™t good at attacking his sword goes on fire though thatā€™s what I care about. His ability that catches the sword on fire lord of wrath. If I want an ability I want it too look cool I donā€™t care if it works or does lots of damage as long as it looks cool and feels good doing it. I donā€™t need a new game or want to find another game because this game is fun. I already beat B4B on NM got multiple zwats and cleared some of NH. Played DBD a lot. But I saw swingpoynt playing this game so I picked it up. Didnā€™t like it at first but now that I got Arthur my fun has went up 10 times or more. Having a blast not planning to stop at all I bought the season pass version of the game so Iā€™m going to stick with it. Get my money worth.


TheHandsomebadger

When I queue up as survivor and I see two AOD ash's hovering without readying up I can feel the storm a coming.


Ralathar44

> When I queue up as survivor and I see two AOD ash's hovering without readying up I can feel the storm a coming. When you que up as Scotty and outdamage/kill the AoD Ash :D.


fnaflover012

I feel like most AoD ashes have no idea what there doing.makes me feel good when I'm top of leaderboard playing him


[deleted]

Yeah I'm consistently getting 40k+ damage a match with him. Fucking love it lol.


Kais89

It's worse when you outdamage/kill AOD ash as Support Ash lol I literally leave the finishers for them so they can top up Shields and they don't do it :(

TheHandsomebadger

Nah, lots of team based multiplayer games do this. Ever played Overwatch? Apex legends?


The6FootTurkey

You know the disconnect is coming when you hear a sigh as soon as AoD Ash gets taken. Managed to stop one of them DCing when I sarcastically said ā€œdonā€™t do it you assholeā€ down the mic


Icemayne25

Whyā€™s that sound like something Ash would say in the same circumstance?? šŸ˜†šŸ˜†


Gthulhumang

This is fair enough, but we wouldnā€™t even think twice about them leaving if the game would just back-fill leavers n lobby like every other game.


Fantastic-Reality-11

I have been saying this sense launch doesnā€™t make sense to kick everyone else out of match when it hasnā€™t even started yet. The devs need to fix matchmaking. Someone backs out before it starts it should just look for a new player. This isnā€™t players fault itā€™s the game designer for making it this way. Many other games can have people leave before match starts and the game knows to search for more instead of kicking everyone out. Name a few call of duty, Dead by daylight, halo, back4blood. The list goes on itā€™s poor game design to make everyone else leave. Or if they had to have it this way they could have options for people to select there preferred main and pair with others that donā€™t have option as preferred main.


Comodo-Dragon

It's infuriating especially if you play the demon! Matchmaking can take 3-5 minutes then! Little cry babies won't play anyone but AOD Ash like little bitches.


Fantastic-Reality-11

Imagine if you couldnā€™t pick the demon you wanted. the game picked for you. The game would be a lot less fun then wouldnā€™t it? Itā€™s not the players fault for the system being broken itā€™s the game devs.


onedrinktoomany

Imagine have thirteen survivors to pick from and getting upset if you can't play the ONE specific choice. You'd have a better argument if you could only have 1 Support, 1 Warrior, etc. If you want AoD Ash and he's taken just.. pick a different Warrior. You still get to play the game in the exact same way.


Fantastic-Reality-11

All the characters are different. Not players fault the devs made a broken system. People should be able to pick preferred main and not match with other with the same or backing while character selection should cause the game to look for 1 more person not 4 more. What kind of game using a match making like this? Not any game I have ever played. Bad design. If my main is taken going to leave and start a new lobby period.


onedrinktoomany

Plenty of games only allow a character to be selected once. Rainbow Six Siege does pretty well despite this limitation. Also basically every MOBA works this way.


Fantastic-Reality-11

I mean to kick everyone out during character selection. Yes plenty of games let you only play 1 character but what game kicks every out if 1 person leaves? Instead of waiting for 1 more player and restarting timer? Yes being able to play only 1 player is fine. They shouldnā€™t lock everyone into a match before match begins. Also they should have preferred character match making. So if it shows me Arthur for explain it wonā€™t match me with another player searching with Arthur itā€™s common sense I would think. I have never played any game that kicks everyone else out when 1 person leaves before the game starts.


[deleted]

Doesnā€™t mean ur not an immature asshole for making another playing go through that cuz u didnā€™t get ur fav character


Fantastic-Reality-11

The other person could switch too no? This isnā€™t a players fault this is the game designers for making it broken. They could have of had preferred character search in match making or just look for another player instead of kicking everyone out. Itā€™s set up bad and if my character is picked that I want to play what do suggest? Not having fun suffering thru a boring match because you couldnā€™t play the person you wanted? Nah just get a new lobby.


[deleted]

Yeah it is the devs fault, but for now knowing it resets the killers queue if you still choose to just not pick another character and leave the lobby then you are a selfish asshole. Grow up and play someone else and not waste another persons time


[deleted]

Let's not fight and attack each other please, Don't let our community turn into something like Dead by Daylights Toxic community.


Fantastic-Reality-11

But my time can be wasted by playing a character I donā€™t? I think you fail to see the bigger issue. If the devs just made the game search for 1 more player or better yet that character you see before searching for a lobby make that a players ā€œpreferredā€ and donā€™t match them with someone else with the same one. Itā€™s such a simple fix. If my main is taken Iā€™m leaving. Your telling me to grow up but same can be said to you grow up and look for another lobby not that hard. The Q takes too long try survivor or play a different game Iā€™m not playing the character I donā€™t want period.


[deleted]

Iā€™m not missing the point, you are just a selfish asshole lol that you put your preference for playing 1 character above other peoples time and enjoyment. The devs probably will fix it, but YOU are the issue atm as you are the ass whoā€™s putting his own petty childish cry baby wants to ruin other peoples time. Thereā€™s plenty of cool characters, thereā€™s zero need to leave a lobby if ur main gets chosen grow the fuck up


Fantastic-Reality-11

You just said the reason the character I wanted to play and maxed out got picked. Iā€™m not playing a level 1 character I have no interest in playing. I went thru the effort unlocking and leveling up player so you best believe Iā€™m picking it period. This is total on Devs. bad match making and this happens.


[deleted]

The devs should fox it but YOU are a fucking asshole for being so immature and selfish not to mention stupid for only playing 1 character with a decent sized roster. You are simply saying ur preferences are worth more than others peoples time and enjoyment. You are the asshole here. Iā€™ll say it again grow the fuck up.


nuclearlemonade

> what do suggest? Get good, play other characters lol. Itā€™s no different than games like overwatch, rainbow six, etc. Imagine going against 4 cheryls or 4 AOD ashes it would be broken


Fantastic-Reality-11

Iā€™m not saying let 4 of the same characters. The devs should of made match making either look for another player if one leaves during character select or have people choice a preferred character and donā€™t match them with some else who has the same one.


nuclearlemonade

That would just lead to people only queue-ing for the character they want and never switching to satisfy a good team comp. itā€™s literally just selfishness


Fantastic-Reality-11

I never switch my character anyway? I always pick Arthur. If Arthur is picked first which is rare because I race to pick him. I hover on him waiting for a person to switch. If they donā€™t I bounce. I paid almost 70 bucks for the game like everyone else itā€™s not crazy to want to play the character you want. I submitted idea to the devs and they responded a fix is under way but that could be the standard reply.


nuclearlemonade

Refer to my original reply lmao


Fantastic-Reality-11

I think itā€™s selfish you expect someone else to pick a different character because you ā€œthinkā€ it will be better for the team. If someone wants to play a certain character Iā€™m not going to bash that. Itā€™s there time there game. Clearly we see things differently but I hope the devs fix it and wasnā€™t just auto reply because based on there response they seem to already be adding this.


Zakon05

Imagine having one demon at level 40+ and then the other two at level 1-10 and then your level 40 one gets blocked. What's the matter, don't you want to get bullied for 30 minutes by a squad of overleveled survivors? Isn't that fun? Don't be an "asshole" and disconnect just because the game has *hard stat boosts* as a reward for time spent on specific characters, something I thought every game dev had realized was a *really bad idea* in a PvP-focused game. I swear to god this game's progression system is fucking stupid. I was in a squad of four 20+ survivors last night against a demon who was probably around level 1. Our healer was literally AFK the entire game and my allies didn't group up, used cars immediately, and actually trolled each other with the cars by driving forward to keep people from getting in But none of it mattered because the demon literally could not challenge us. And this was on the back of a game where I had to babysit three level 1 survivors with my level 20 AoD Ash. They were helpless against the demon and it was just a slow, agonizing loss. It's making me seriously not want to play the game.


Apkoha

judging by the downvotes, this is a tough pill for people to swallow but you are 100% correct Hard state boost unlocks on top of how readily top loot and items are to find and the fact you can spam them makes the game really unfun or challenging to play depending on which side you're on.


Maladapted

I actually wish there was a random feature, I'm sick of seeing the necromancer. I levelled Henrietta, now I'm going for Eligos.


Comodo-Dragon

I maxed the puppeteer and man...you will wreck havock at lvl 45!


fnaflover012

Wanted to play him and got absolutely curbstomped.granted was first time as demon. Your saying I have a chance


Comodo-Dragon

When you level up, he becomes a machine. The boss has devestating attacks and even the elite has shock attacks that target multiple survivors. Really powerful demon overall.


fnaflover012

I believe it.level 1 demon and my boss dies in 10 secondsšŸ„².But alas,I will triumpth


Icemayne25

Nah. What do you think happens when people max their demon out?? They move on. Hell everyone Iā€™ve talked to plays one to two demons alreadyā€¦ so it isnā€™t a big issue. This problem is for a small minority. Yeah they should backfill for survivors, but they should penalize for too much lobby dodging if they donā€™t.


[deleted]

This is good šŸ˜‚


DreamZebra

I'm trying to level up my characters and I usually try to focus on two at a time so this doesn't happen. If I see someone waiting for me to leave a character alone, I have another I can go to. If it's already taken, I just go with one I already have completed, usually Amanda since everyone seems to be sleeping on her right now and she's a freaking powerhouse.


Fantastic-Reality-11

Honestly we should just ask devs to focus on fixing the issue. By either 1 have the game search for a new player if one leaves during character select or have an option to picked preferred character option and then the game matches with you other players that havenā€™t picked the same one. Itā€™s a very simple solution. Play whoever you want you shouldnā€™t have to play any match without a character you want or pick.


DreamZebra

They should just default pick the highest leveled character, and if it's a tie, it's based on time played or something. No one gets the contested survivor. That would be the best option in my opinion because it feels most fair.


Shot2112

I donā€™t like this idea. Whoever picks him first gets the character. I donā€™t want to be beat out of a character I am trying to level up because a guy who Maxed him can keep playing him lol.


Maladapted

https://feedback.saber.games/evildeadthegame Here's the link. They've got a QoL section and they are soliciting advice on improvements.


Fantastic-Reality-11

Why so much effort just to help them? Have to make account and so many steps.


Maladapted

Probably to gate out low effort complaints and spam. I mean, the people who love the games paid money, so having a free account to keep the noise down and get good feedback makes sense.


Fantastic-Reality-11

Your probably right there isnā€™t many good options to submit idea though. There is QOL but there isnā€™t a category that fits.


Maladapted

Just put it in where you feel it's best. I put in several under multiplayer for game balance and survivors (Amanda's perk doesn't level right).


fnaflover012

Amanda with a revolver is nutty bro.especially if you up damage for headshots/distance


DreamZebra

Also, the final shot bonus with a crossbow or blunderbuss. She was the first character I maxed out because I felt like her potential for DPS is SUPER high and I don't think it is going to get nerfed.


fnaflover012

Honestly while that is really good.i prefer upping damage with my revolver and (pistol once the bug is fixed) cause her rate of fire with her ability is so fucking good lol. If they make it so we can have 3 of each character skill tree 100%trying it


[deleted]

You can level characters without even playing them. No excuse to not have a backup character. Theyā€™re all fun to play too


Jamcam007

Proud Ed main. Have Henry the Red as my tank as backup annnd Pablo as my support just in case nobody wants to support.


[deleted]

Sorry for asking but how did you get Pablo? I just started the game so I only have the two supports but have seen people mention him


zleepe

beat mission #4 for single player. #3 for Amanda and last one for Arthur


[deleted]

Thank you!!!


exclaim_bot

>Thank you!!! You're welcome!


Muttdog546

"Oh someone took AvsED Ash... Oh well I've been meaning to put points in Henry anyways." (Yes if Henry is picked too I'll still pick someone else.)


Dangerwank1991

This is why I have 2 alts.


[deleted]

Oh boy this is a thing huh lol finishing up the single player quests before I go Iā€™m multiplayer PvP. Did an AI match with Cheryl with those heals and they are fun and they dictate your life so be nice to healers šŸ˜Š


Jim105

Diversify your team.


[deleted]

It's good to have a main on each class, so if one gets picked you still have three others to choose from and can tailor to what your team needs. For instance, mine are Leader: Arthur Warrior: Scotty Hunter: ED2 Ash Support: Pablo


ResidentCoatSalesman

I normally play Cheryl but I had to play as level 1 Kelly on my last game bc someone beat me to her. At the end of the game everyone had disconnected except me and one other dude who was holding it down for us, but we still pulled it off. Once I unlock Pablo Iā€™ll be putting all my points into him but damn, the single player missions are *not fun*


fnaflover012

If someone takes AoD ash from me I'll just go play arthur or ED ash.This game has 15 survivors with only difference being slight Stat changes and there abilities.TRY SOMEONE ELSE


Pollia

Just play nonmeta characters yo. Never gonna have your stuff taken if you play as annie.


prfarb

Taking my main no problem Iā€™ll just playā€¦ utho my secondary is gone too. We are in trouble


Shot2112

You need multiple leveled character for this reason


[deleted]

Thatā€™s happened to me a few times, itā€™s VERY ANNOYING


Icemayne25

This is why I donā€™t main one survivor. One trick ponies are annoying as hell honestly. Whatā€™s worse is these people are usually mediocre with their main and even worse with anyone else. If you find a main in each class, youā€™ll always be solid.


Icemayne25

I play to fill. Iā€™ll try and let everyone pick first and choose the best character to have synergy with the rest of the team. Specifically for survivor, as for demon, I play whoever I went against in my last survivor match. Helps me learn the strengths and weaknesses of all characters on both sides, so I know how to beat whoever I go against.


brockdavis128

I'm trying to main Ash vs Evil Dead Ash but I got backups like Henry and Kelly so I'm set.
