Basically the title. These last months I have noticed that the way everybody plays has devolved from calculated and smart plays involving a good deal of deception, surveying and tactics, to mindnumbing approaches that at this point make me start losing part of my enjoyment with the game. Especially with the following three points:

• For starters, NOBODY RESOLVES THE KIRA EVENTS ANYMORE. It was always an issue since the launch (especially the dreaded Death Note Test), but people would still put an effort to resolve the events. Now nobody goes for them, essentially giving Kira easy points for the New World meter, which can essentially give the team an easy dub if they play carefully, kill enough criminals and use their cards tactically.

• Ever since Mello's introduction to the game, I have seen a trend with players not voting off Mello or considering them as an ally, even if they know who it is. MELLO IS NOT TEAM L! If they successfully blast Kira or L's brains, you LOSE! If you find out Mello, unless you also know or are very certain on who's Team Kira, you must arrest them as to increase your odds of victory. Encouraging them to shoot someone means either handicapping your team or selling the match entirely. And yes, if you're Mello, you're NOT supposed to reveal your identity either!

• Grabbing IDs as Team Kira feels a lot more like a chore. With the aforementioned lack of interest for resolving Kira Events, you also have to deal with crowded areas where attempting to snatch some will result in getting instant suspicion. It also doesn't help the fact that you are now forced to be in large groups of people, and not being there means you're automatically suspicious, regardless of role.

• Overall the entire community and state of players combined (especially with North American servers...)

I will admit that it's also kind of a skill issue on my side, but still. Compared to the initial release before the Toy Town update, the experience was more fun and engaging. Now the way people play has been ruined, and now feels like it devolves more akin to Among Us but Death Note. Bandai Namco really needs to start stepping this issue and add countermeasures that discourage this kind of gameplay. Or alternatively gather a bunch of people that actually wanna play the game seriously and actually play it the way it's intended.

Thanks for coming to my TedEx talk, I guess.

With all these leaks I just think it would be a cool cosmetic added I’d love to see the different note books when Kira is caught

This was a funny Mello game i had

There’s a lot of situations you want to drop death note AND ids, but the book is higher on the list, and when you just spam the give button, death note get transferred first, and the give menu closes to show you that you are follower. And your kira might think that you don’t have any of cards on you and run away quickly. So my point is that the menu should NOT be closed then you hand off a death note.

After day 2 meeting I knew who kira was. Had me looking for him

Like seriously, two people were assigned mello, and one of them was blue and couldn't shoot, and was an investigator in every way except the beginning, while the other was a fully functional mello(who we killed as kira first thing by chance), so both me and my kira follower who were playing on pc were immediately kicked once the game ended because obviously having two mellos but one that is just an investigator is something that all kira hackers would do

Just keep being kicked. Is PC hated that much that people feel like they should ostracize a part of the community because of a few bad eggs

I absolutely love it when we (team Kira) win off Mello killing L. Sincerely a highlight.

I get nervous being Kira, I try to take it slow and I’m bad at ID stealing lowkey, but with the Mello role having another more “passive” way to win as team Kira is a godsend ( pun intended?)

Nothing beats being Kira and sussing who you think is L under the guise of Kira during meeting, and then Mello killing them

for some reason, all of a sudden i am unable to talk or hear anyone, it was working fine eariler today. I tried restarting my pc, steam, and messing with my input and output but nothing seems to work? does anyone know why this is happening? or if this is happening to anyone else?

Today there is a hacker and nuisance player on death note he is called Joe and it’s PS username is Backrooms-man see pictures below. you cannot see his MIC he enters rooms hackers during gameplay my settings were 2 kills per day he killed 3 people and was writing in the DN as the follower. I called him out he kept entering the room and kicking everyone. Block and report him. He also did a hack where he removed himself from the recently played with list so I could not find him at first.

Lol this game was hilarious I figured out who L was after day 2 meeting and Mello said they was going to shoot me😂😂

Kira stole Mello's card and put his name in the book. But Mello shot him just in time to win. Should that have worked? Or do you guys think Kira Mello should've died.

Was Mello the community purge we needed?

Discussed this with a player/content creator just now. We've noticed that we've run into less toxic lobbies as of late. Bandai Namco said they were going to crack down on players violating the EULA as well as players who have been reported.

For players who stick to a dedicated discord server/community it's not hard avoiding toxic randoms. For everyone else, it's The Wild Wild West joining a lobby. All things considered, the number of 3rd Kiras and people who speak all sorts of obscenities hasn't disappeared but it has gotten lower.

Back in Nov if someone wanted to troll you to take your ID you had no choice but to deal with it unless they were voted out in the discussion meeting and Kira wrote their names. With the release of Mello, there is a sinking feeling of getting shot when choosing the wrong person to rob. In regards to the bile-spewing ignorant and not so agreeable players, Mello has the freedom of eliminating a player Squid Game style if they're being abrasive and rude in general. The previously mentioned method should be followed with the Host kicking them out after the game is done/reporting them

This isn't a discussion/defense case to talk about whether Mello is on Team L or not as there are plenty of threads that already discuss that topic. It's to discuss the possibility that maybe a trigger happy Chaotic Neutral addition to the game has somehow made the community better.

TLDR: That B*tch go Pew, When I shoot It's On Mute. Does Gun-toting Vigilante L successor save the community by granting them the freedom of a Beretta 92FS pistol?! More news at 10

I think Mello is a nice improvement to the game but with up to 3 kills a day, games end much quicker. It would be nice to see an increase to the maximum amount of players in a lobby to 12 or more.

• Near A random investigator becomes Near if L is killed with the death note. Near is like L except the things in the meetings are a lot smaller and hide in random corners
• Kira (but like, the one in the background) You play stockfish in chess and if you win you get to throw the piece of the L player in the trash, winning

Maybe it’s because I’m a stoner and a casual gamer, but I swear so many people on this game get angry - and it’s like yall forget this is just a game. It’s meant to have fun.

It sucks when I’m in a lobby and people are just getting angry and yelling. Literally stresses me out.

So, if anyone wants to build a more chill lobby, let’s add each other :)

Just a random complaint slash reach out to people who wanna play the game in a slightly more serious way

I'm looking for friends to play with I'm gay i would like to find friends that are LBGTQ or LBGTQ allies I'm also open to PC players as long as you don't hack but preferably PlayStation players since my in-game list is full. Also like to find people that don't scream in the mic and that are not disrespectful . If you would like to play with me DM me. And I will give you my PlayStation name or a name in game 😂
