The playerbase of this game is absolutely terrible and it's most likely why the game has so few players.

I normally play with friends but will occasionally play solo and wow is it an absolute nightmare. It is truly the worst experience I have ever had in the nearly 20 years I have been playing online gaming.

I am not talking about general lack of skill on either side amongst players, I am talking about how strange and toxic the playerbase is at times.

For example, on the family side, family players often refuse to communicate and use mics. They will disconnect at the slightest inconvenience before anyone has even escaped. I try to give direction and will ask for help. I had a Bones and LF both in basement while I am upstairs with the fusebox open and generator area breached. I say on the mic "come upstairs they are breaching up here don't waste your time down here" not even 5 seconds later Bones DCs. I message him and say why and he says he's not listening to someone crying on the mic. Ok so me giving comms and asking for help is "crying" in 2025? That's the state of online games right now?

Had another Family match today, I played with the Nancy back-to-back in two matches. I immediately say at the beginning of the second match "hey Nancy, let me grab the blood buckets this time, I have a blood build, I couldn't feed as fast last match" and the person DCs. Ok. So I am trying to help you and the team and ask you not to take blood so you DC? Like WTF man lol.

And for VICTIMS....victims get so toxic on easy matches. You're playing against a level 2 Sissy and level 0 Leatherface. I was kind enough to stay and not DC. Just take your win and move on with your life. Doing every objective, trolling, teabagging, is so toxic like you must not ever win against a team of competent family players if you're this insecure. You're proving absolutely nothing by dunking on players who are low level and inexperienced at the game.

TL;DR this game is the most toxic online community I think I have ever experienced.
